Bio: Bair Blackmarsh has has a very interesting few years. He helped slay a demon queen, got declared a hero, got out of military training, became a lord, and is currently dating the Princess of Hollow. However it didn't always started out that sweet. Abandoned when he was little by a pair of thieves on the doorstep of a priest named Robert Blackmarssh, Bair was at first...just a forgotten after thought.
His own fate was always decided by others, even if they loved him like Robert did. In the city of Eternal Gardens, Bair was raised up to be the next Priest of Luna, the goddess of darkness, and the chief worshiped deity of Hollow. Bair didn't really like it. He was more interested in the local inn, Dead Man's Drink, which was popular amongst Hollow's adventurers. Bair loved sneaking away and hearing the stories. However his adoptive father considered the stories a bad influence, especially since Bair learned about the Birds and the Bees through them not him.
However despite these differences in view, Bair stilled loved Robert, and Robert, Bair. He always began to form a close friendship with Veronica Hollow, the current princess. The two would come over when Aliester Hollow came to talk with Robert about a few things, he would later learn of Robert's military history. He always brought his daughter so that she would have someone to play with, since she was an only child.
Tragedy struck though, Robert Blackmarsh was murdered by the wicked Demon Queen Inora. It is unknown to Bair why she would do such a thing but with Bair alone, Aliester took Bair in. Bair began to live in the castle for years, eventually deciding to return the favor that was bestowed upon him. There was one slight problem with Bair in the military. He hated it...with a burning passion. It was to organized, to strict, to drilling, and everything Bair never wanted.
However despite his gripes, he still gave it his all. He figured maybe after training he could use it to become an adventurer. He even made someone he considers a brother in arms to this day, Ryker. Ryker was the only one that Bair felt gave a damn about his emotions, conforted him in tough times, and so much more. Bair, to this day, considers Ryker to be his best friend inspite of events that were to come.
Inora returned twice, the first time she found out quickly why the Royalty of Hollow was considered the dream team. Despite a tough battle, Zephyra Hollow and Aliester Hollow fought her back. Bair was amazed seeing this. It motivated him to try harder in his training, despite his growing hatred of being in the Enforcer's boot camp.
The second time however, Inora was more prepared. She seemed stronger then she was before, and looked like that this time she was going to win. Not bearing the thought of losing another family, and despite being out match. Bair lept into the fray to try and save the people he considered to be his new family, and Ryker came as well. Bair doesn't know to this day why the studious Ryker would come in and help during what seemed like a hopeless situation. However, Bair didn't care. The two friends managed to do the unthinkable, they fought her off and despite their many injuries, as Ryker managed to distract Inora in her transformed dragon form, Bair struck finally ending Inora once and for all.
Bair was declared a hero that day, and also was offered an out from the Military Trainign which he took without a second thought. Aliester gave Bair many permissions, made him a lord, and gave him permission to marry his daughter, Veronica. Which was great because Bair was growing an affection beyond the big brother ideals he had in the past.
Bair's heroism and fame had a price though. He saw it embittered Ryker and whne Ryker left after the military training was completed it broke his heart. Despite the differences, Bair still tries to keep in contact with Ryker. Never forgetting that he did not beat Inora alone, despite what the public might think.
Bair finally got the life of an adventurer too, often going out on explorations across Hollow using his training to help the citizens in any way he can, though diplomacy or heroism. However he still is mostly in the castle, because he attracted attention of a different kind. A mysterious enforcer named Grim who often had very special permission started to train Bair from time to time in his unique fighting style. Despite the difficulty, Bair is more drawn to this style despite the fact Grim was even more brutal than the Enforcer instructors.
However pushes on, and enjoys his life, for Queen, King, Country, the woman he loves, and the civillians he has gotten to know personally, Bair finally became what he wanted to be, and more.
Extra: He has a horse named Nightmare, a black stallion, and like most Hollow Horses, he is incredibly fast due to it's supernatural nature.

When Bair lost his father, it was Veronica who insited whole heartedly that Bair should live in the castle. This proved to be the best choice of Veronica's life. As the two grew up together, Veronica started to see Bair as less of a brother and more of a man. He always opened up to her first, never hid his emotions from her, and it made her feel like the most important person in his life, and he hers. The romantic feelings grew and grew, until one night Veronica broke a big time rule and kissed Bair. The two then felt madly in love after that kiss. However they kept it secret, her father would never approve of a soldier marrying his daughter...right?
However, in both Inora incident, she froze both times, Even when she had a chance to lose her family forever, she froze. If it wasn't for Bair... That's when she decided she would not be weak anymore. She asked her father and mother to train her in their ways. If they were the ultimate tag team, she would become the strongest Queen by having both of their styles. They of course said yes.
Now dating the man she loved with no secret, and growing stronger by the day, Veronica is growing more and more ready to one day...becoming the Queen she knows she can be.

He met two vampires who he just couldn't bring himself to kill. They were innocents being forced under a cruel king to do what a mad monster could do.
This enraged King Richard the 3rd, who made Aliester a marked man which caused him to flee into the very land these wicked vampires were coming from. There he would meet a resistance to the Vampire King Lysander. This wicked Tyrant was forcing his will upon the land, a monstrous being with no pity and remorse. It took some time to get used to Hollow's strange nature, but once he did and saw all the injustice, he joined the resistance with a friend he made along the way, Zephrya.

However her parents instead set her up for an ambush during the Vampire Wars.
Zephrya was a prisoner of war, trapped in the castle dungeon where she met Aliester for the first time. Aliester was sympathetic, and clearly cared for her well being which was more then she could say about other members of the Templar Order and Elodusian Guard. One day Aliester took a big risk and freed her from her prison. Before she left she gave Aliester a kiss, and bolted towards what would become Hollow.
When Aliester also fled, she found him fast and rembered her debt to her. When Zephyra noticed Aliester's desire to stop the Vampire King, she knew more than anything that Aliester had the skills to become King of Hollow. She eagerly agreed to help him in this plan and coup. During the conflict, Aliester confessed his own love for her and Zephyra the same. The two became the ultimate battle couple, her magic complimenting her lovers sword skill perfectly.
After the war, Zephyra would soon become pregnant with Veronica. Zephyra was terrified at the thought. She felt herself unfit for motherhood, despite Aliester's support that he knew she'd be qualified. On the day Veronica was born Zephyra had a teleporation spell ready to escape...however when she held Veronica in her arms...saw her child for the first time, brushing the few bits of blue hair out on her head, her fears shattered. Veronica was...at peace.
After the Inora incident, Zephyra was key part in growing Hollow's kingdom. While Aliester focused on security, she did her part as the dream team and focused on diplomacy and construction.

Now on the throne with his lovely betrothed Allison , the poor girl forced to marry him from her noble family, at least she gave him his son, he began to evaluate threats to his country. The first he viewed was their long time enemies, Azorah. He knew one day those warmongering monsters would strike his country.

For now...he'll let them reign...the wounds of war are to great... But he will restore Order...even if it means making trade deals with that damn traitor Aliester. Better the devil you know...then the one you don't.
