The Knights


The Abyss Knight

The leader of the knights, The Abyss Knight, has been fighting the hoards for as long as he can remember. Also known as Abyss for short, when he isn't fighting back the hoards he is spending his time praying to an unnamed goddess that he once shared a relationship with. He is clad in black armor, standing at 8 feet tall, parts of his skin are covered in scales and stitches from his creation. He fights with a large two-handed great sword and always wearing his blackened armor.

 

A loud roar is heard with thunderous foot steps approaching quickly. Before Abyss knew it a Broodmother was on them. She trashed about quickly and savagely, striking the Ivory Knight in her side before she was able to bring her sword to block, knocking her against the wall and leaving her wounded. Abyss was quick to strike back, holding the monster back while Aegis protected Ivory from the other creatures. An impossible speed overtook Abyss as he charged towards the Broodmother. Abyss let out a roar to rival that of the Broodmother as he quickly plunged his great sword into her grotesque rotting gut, cutting through her hide and her guts spilling out onto him. Abyss pulled his blade out and in one swift motion sliced the Broodmother's head off. The large creature stumbled around a few times, till its brainless feet falter and she crushes a small group of monsters as she falls down dead. A sign of relief escapes Abyss as he turns to assist Aegis and Ivory, getting Ivory to safety and returning to the never ending tide afterwards.

The Ivory Knight

The second longest member of the knights, The Ivory Knight, is a elf woman who has been with the knights for years. She fights in pure white armor with a large double-bladed scimitar that she wields with deadly speed. Her history isn't well known but she was a warrior before she joined and sought out The Abyss Knights herself.

Before Ivory was a knight, she was a lone protector of her clan's forest. She often would run off intruders instead of killing them, earning a reputation for being a gentle being. One day she was off hunting when she returned to her clan home to find it burning and under attack. She quickly rushed to her father, the village elder, just to see him cut down by a group of soldiers. As fire arose inside her, she grabbed a nearby blade. With her fury backing her strikes, she quickly cut the soldiers to ribbons before she dropped the blade and checked her father's wounds. As life left his body he handed her his necklace, an informed her that he had an old friend who would protect her. She pleaded and pleaded but no matter how many tears she shed, her father perished before her. After wiping her face of the tears and ashes that had found their way onto her face, she took her father's blade and necklace and sought out the father's friend. An old friend named Abyss.

The Aegis Knight

One of the lesser known knights, The Aegis Knight, wields a large tower shield the size of his body. He is a human male that dons azure armor and his shield is a darker steel color. He often uses his shield as a weapon instead of a defensive tool.

Aegis was sitting in a bar, his hands resting by his side as he flirted with a waitress bringing him his ale. A loud crash is heard as a nearby explosion destroys the entire left side of the inn, knocking Aegis to his back. He gathered his bearings just in time to spot a rough looking bandit group killing the fleeing patrons. Aegis was no fighter but he couldn't bear to watch these people get hurt. He reached for the nearest thing he could, a large wooden table that he was sitting back before he fell. Hefting its weight onto himself he was able to charge forward blocking any strikes with his makeshift shield in his hands. He used to table to slam into the bandit captain's jaw, pulverizing it in one swing. As the other bandits were stunned by this strange human carrying a wooden table he capitalized upon the mayhem and was attacking the other bandits in no time. He quickly dispatched the rest of the bandits while few were sent fleeing into the nearby woods.

The Ebony Knight

The one mute knight, The Ebony Knight, had his tongue cut out from an unknown incident. He doesn't wield a weapon to the untrained eye, but his gauntlets are actually his weapon of choice. He often fights like a pit fighter using his body as his weapon.

Ebony was a boxer before he was a knight. Often having street fights to pass the time by as he loved to get into brawls. Ebony's hands were ferocious and quick. He quickly gained a reputation for being a hothead as well as a brawler. One night a strange man approached him and challenged him to a fight one on one. Not being one to refuse Ebony raised his fists and quickly started swinging. The man was able to dodge his strikes with little to no effort. That only seemed to piss Ebony off more as he quickly changed to a quicker fighting style finally finding purchase as his fist made contact with the man. The man was no slouch though as he returned a fist that made Ebony feel like he got hit by a train. After regaining his foot Ebony quickly ran back at the man striking the man in his gut numerous times, trying to end the fight as quickly as it began. The man was unfazed as he quickly brought an elbow down on Ebony's unprotected neck, causing him to fall to the ground. Not being one to give up Ebony quickly swept the man's feet out from under him with a quick leg sweep causing the man to fall as well. Ebony took the chance and mounted his opponent. Ebony started to slam his fists onto the man's chest and face, until the man finally called gave up. Ebony was satisfied with his victory and stood proud but in plenty of pain. Helping the mysterious man up, Ebony reached down and gave praise to his new friend. The man then handed Ebony a pair of black gauntlets and told him to seek a strange man named Abyss, and to find out if he was worthy of becoming a knight. Confused but not one to turn down a chance to better himself he set off to find this man named "Abyss".

The Rage Knight

The most recent death, The Rage Knight, was a dwarf that often wore no armor and carried his signature sanguine great axe. The newest Rage Knight is Korth Axe, a well known adventurer who only wears cargo pants and wields his trusty great axe Rampage.
