Darrin Thorne - The Folk Hero
"I didn’t mean to become a symbol. I just picked up the damn pitchfork and stood where no one else would."
Name: Darrin Thorne
Race: Human
Class/Role: Level 6 Fighter (Champion)
Appearance: Darrin is rugged and broad-shouldered, with sun-darkened skin, a thatch of straw-blond hair, and a lined face that betrays hard years in the field. He wears patched leather armor over a faded green tunic, his pants tucked into worn farm boots. He has the rough charm of someone who doesn’t talk much, but means every word he says.
Backstory
A former farmhand in The Wanderlust Plains, Darrin lived a quiet life until a local baron imposed a brutal tithe that starved his village. When soldiers came to take his family’s last harvest, he fought back and accidentally sparked a revolt. The “Reaping Fire” that followed left half the province in chaos, but Darrin refused to become a general. Instead, he wandered, quietly helping rebuild communities damaged by greed and tyranny. Now, whispers of his deeds follow him — along with folk songs, wanted posters, and half-true stories.
