Player Name: kuroihikage Character Name: Hayne Roderick Canon: Ragnarok Online
Background: Born to a blacksmith couple, Hayne lived a simple life of travelling with his parents, helping them in forging weapons, and goes from cities to cities. Yep, a simple standard life for a kid like him, which also means that he never stays in one place, and hence, not much are long-term friends with him. Though, there is your standard 'one-day' plot that changes your life forever, and being almost killed by a savage monster can change your view in a second when you're dying. Thankfully, a Knight saved itty-bitty Hayne from certain doom, and from that day on, the kid aspires to be someone like that mysterious knight that saved him.
Flash forward 10 year later, 18-year-old Hayne is now a fully fledged Swordsman in training, stationed in Alberta, where his parents decided to settle down and finally build a permanent establishment in the form of a workshop. After 1-2 years of patrolling, Hayne decided to get his parent's permission to travel the world, and does so after getting it. At first alone, he finds kindred spirits joining in his quest to travel the whole world and map all of them. This venture went along well, crossing the forests of Payon, the deserts of Morroc, the mountains of Mjolnir, the floating capital of Juno, the industrial city of Einbroch, the island of Jawaii, the beach of Comodo, all this are not without hardships, for even they has their quarreling as a group, and sometimes even split ups, but in the end, they always stick together thick and thin. Finally, after 2-3 years worth of experience gained and most of Rune-Midgard mapped, they all decided to finally split up for good and pursue their own dreams. Hayne, obviously went for a beeline straight back to Prontera to take the test to become a Knight, and succeeded. However, unknown to him, is that this just the start of everything...
One single day while on a trip back to Alberta, he found a man running to him begging for his help, and being a Knight, he does, and then followed the man back to an appalling site, a village razed down by monsters, blood everywhere, and most of all, a dark-armored male staring back at him with a glint of a crazy smile, at the very least, he looks like him, only more... Ghostly, the sight was only fleeting though, before that apparition disappeared, leaving Hayne with a slew od question. This marks their first encounter, him and this Doppelganger. 3 years after that, Hayne is now one of the squad leader in Prontera's Royal Squadron, and is now promoted to a Lord Knight due to excellent performance in field duties etc. During his promotion party, that Doppelganger of his managed appeared in the bar, and almost laid waste to it, if not for Hayne leaping into action, and clashes blade with him.
Long story short, Hayne defeated him, and it dissipated, leaving a blade on its wake. Grabbing the blade, which is just a simple large katana, he decided to use it for his subsequent assignments. It was not until one assignment though, that he met another one of this doppelganger, this time in the form of a friend. A battle yields him nothing but injuries. From then on, he swore that he'll get those Doppelgangers no matter what.
