Name: Darius

Race: Human

Class: Necromancer

Age: 31

Backstory (takes place in olden times):

Darius came from a family line that had produced several necromancers over the years. His parents did not have the gift, but they worked as caretakers of the local cemetery, so Darius grew up surrounded by death. From a young age, he was fascinated by the dead, whether human or animal. One day, while exploring the basement of his home, he found his grandfather's old staff. The moment he touched it, he felt drawn to it. A strange darkness filled him, awakening powers that had been hidden inside him.

Curious and eager to learn, Darius began practicing in secret. After successfully raising a dead animal, he became overconfident and tried to raise a human corpse. But the spell went horribly wrong. Far more dead answered his call than he meant to, and the cemetery came alive with the undead. Hearing the strange noises, his parents rushed outside and were met by the horrifying sight of corpses crawling out of the dirt. Drunk on the feeling of power and control, the young child stood still as his creations attacked them. He watched without moving as his parents were torn apart.

Only hours later did the full weight of what he had done truly hit him.

Without saying a word, Darius took over his parents' work. Nobody in town asked questions. Most people wanted nothing to do with the strange family that lived at the graveyard anyway, and they preferred not to know what had happened. As the years passed, Darius improved his necromancy and became more withdrawn. Guilt and loneliness slowly hardened his heart. Aside from taking care of the cemetery, he earned money by taking jobs from people with loose morals. Over time, he became just as cold as the dead he raised.
