Backstory
Where did your character grow up? What place do they call "home" now? (could
be the same or different)
Ezekiel grew up in a large town on the continent of Darna. He spent much of his time in Darna at either the Evris Vineyard (where his brother and father worked) or at teh Eastside Medical Academy, where he trained as a surgeon.
Who raised your character and how? What are these people doing now?
Evelyn and Michael Evris are the parent to Uriel and Ezekiel. Evelyn has passed away while Michael still lives at the Vineyard and operates it during his retirement.
How did your attribute scores affect your character?
Having a intelligence and low wisdom has made Ezekiel an unnecessarily serious and tightly-wound person. Because of his medical training, he takes every situation seriously because he knows how easy it is to get life-threatening injuries. Also through his medical training, he has learned how to lead and direct others during stressful situations, and, although he is not always tactful in the things he says, others trust him because of the training he has.
What made your character obtain the class they have now?
After "The Incident", Ezekiel carried guilt for not being able to save his mother from dying. After finding small amounts of the woman's blood, he took it to the medical academy. He conducted every experiment and combed every tome in the library at the medical academy, and all he could find is whispers of a strange occult ritual and otherworldly blood sucking humanoids.. Having nothing to lose, Zeke conducted the ritual. He could feel a sinister power pulling at his spirit, but nothing else happened, so Zeke turned his attention to searching for the woman himself.
Later on, Zeke could feel the call of the Lord. He agreed to a deal with The Lord: in exchange for giving Zeke a sliver of his power, The Lord wanted Zeke to ensure the continued prosperity of the humanoid world. Zeke knew from the research he had done that The Lord was connected to this woman that attacked his family, so he agreed without a second thought.

Name a promise you have made to another player character that you would never break.
I will never lie to my brother. Our bond is the most important thing to me.
He has promised that if I ever become a monster, then he has to stop me.
If nothing happened, what short/long term goals does your character have?
Ezekiel would be a military surgeon or battle medic.
What makes your character a likeable adventurer that others would be willing to have to risk their lives for?
While he can be stiff and serious, Ezekiel is loyal and helpful. He might come off as being too stuck-up or high-strung, but he has a naturally caring attitude.
What has your character done in the past, that they now deeply regret?
Ezekiel knew that Mileena was stealing medicine from the academy, but he did not stop her. Eventually, he learned that she was selling the stolen medicine to different groups across Darna. Because he was working to become a military medic, Ezekiel heard about a raid on a bandit camp (one that Mileena frequently traded with) happening soon. Some of the guards knew that Ezekiel was close with Mileena and they threatened to have him kicked out of the medical academy and have his father's military retirement revoked if Ezekiel warned her about the raid. He did not tell her, and she ended up getting arrested, along with the rest of the bandits.
Are there any people that would wish harm to your character and why?
Mileena
People from the academy that might have found out that he knew Mileena was stealing and didn't stop her
