Backstory


Garv's homeland was torn apart by perpetual conflict and unrest. It's name and culture forgotten by its own people, afflicted with constant war for nearly two centuries.

 

Garv never got to know his family and grew up completely alone within the volatile land.  However, Garv had been come from a lineage of smiths long forgotten by the world. Within the ruins of ancient buildings he had found the tales of his family that described their super natural abilities. Eventually, Garv awakened his abilities as a medium and soon after fled his homeland.


As a refugee, Garv was adopted by the Dufort family in France. He quickly became accustomed and would soon call it home. He took an interest in fencing and competed within many tournaments. Garv's victory at the Olympics begun his worldwide fame. After finishing his career as a fencer he took up acting, featuring in several successful movies. All the while honing the abilities he had awakened long ago.

 

However at his peak he was approached by the leader of STYX. They knew of his abilities as a medium and gave Garv an ultimatum. Join STYX as an executive member or immediately be disposed of. Garv had never once before backed down from a challenge but in his mind he had already known that the battle was unwinnable. Garv surrendered and joined STYX as an executive.

 

Now that he had joined STYX he took up the duties of finding other mediums. Using his fame as a cover to search the world for mediums and offer them the

same decision he had been given.

Personality


An eccentric individual. So polite its almost condescending. Will often grandstand in public and showcase his love for theatrics. Some people can find it charming or annoying depending on their tolerance.

 

Even when he gets serious he always has a confident smirk on his face. His belief in himself and abilities is almost to the point of delusion. When faced with a bad situation he'll keep on smiling undeterred.  

 

Garv respects those who have a strong resolve. He doesn't like seeing potential being wasted due to uncertainty and indecision. Garv is especially mindful of this with younger people. Garv doesn't like seeing people give up prematurely.
