Serrin Derisek is a character I play in the Prodigies Enigma
Secondus game, hosted by TCR Games.
Draksten is a small town on the frontier. Over the years, near
constant Orc attacks have caused Draksten to become more of a
fortress than a town. As time has gone on other villages on the
frontier have not fared as well against the Orc's as the citizens
of Draksten, and have been forced to flee to Draksten. Because
of this, members of all the major races can be found there, all
with a will to fight and survive are welcome.
One of these refugees, Lavayn Kavilion, an Elf, fled from her
village when an Orc warparty destroyed it, once at Draksten Lavayn
met a human farmer and minor functionary named Turin Derisek.
The two fell in love, and five years after they first met they
were married.
Five years after Lavayn and Turin married, Lavayn gave birth to
a baby boy. The couple named him Serrin.
Serrin spent the first ninteen years of his life in Draksten.
Though Serrin took his studies, and the martial training all children
of Draksten were given, seriously, it was his mother's lessons
about nature that Serrin took most to heart. Serrin was kind,
gentle and wise.
Then came the day the Black Rot clan attacked. The Black Rot orcs
had been gaining power in the area for some time. They had built
a massive army, unifying almost all of the clans in the area and
crushing those clans that dared to oppose them. When they were
ready to wage war on the human empires, the Blood Fang orcs one
of the last orc clans that had not yet joined the Black Rot army,
made a proposal. If the Black Rot army were to crush the village
of Draksten, which had been a thorn in the side of the Blood Fang
orcs for far too long, then the Blood Fang orcs would join the
Black Rot army. The Black Rots easily agreed, seizing upon the
destruction as a prelude to their campaign of terror.
Draksten's scouts spotted the Black Rot army coming from a
great distance away. Draksten prepared. Elven archers and wizards
manned towers, trees, and rooftops, Gnome engineers prepared specially
designed catapults and other specially designed defenses, Halfling
rogues found concealed hiding place to spring and attack from
at the right opportunity, while Dwarf and Half-Orc warriors manned
the gates and the walls. Humans accompanied them at every position.
Serrin, now nineteen, wanted to join his father and his human
friends at the wall, but instead was held back with the villages
children. (Including the other half-elves Serrin's own age.) They
were accompanied by a small group of guards, led by Serrin's mother.
Then the orc's struck. Draksten's defenders fought valiantly,
making the Black Rot orc's pay dearly for every inch of ground
that they took, but eventually the orc's broke through Drakstens
defenses and into the city.
Lavayn and her unit tried to get the children to safety, but ran
straight into a detachment of orcs. While the unit fought to buy
time, Lavayn managed to find a particularly sturdy stone house,
and locked the children inside of it. She then returned to the
guards Lavayn's return, rapier in hand, bolstered the guards morale,
and for a few moments the guards managed to stop, and even started
pushing back the orcs.
But it did not last, one by one the guards fell. As the battle
raged, Serrin slipped out of the stone house, having the others
lock the door behind him. He went in search of the guards. Serrin
stumbled upon the slain corpse of a guard. He stopped a moment,
taking the guards bastard sword. While he was hunched over the
guard taking the sword Serrin heard something. He looked up...
and what he saw changed his life forever. Lavayn, his mother,
was the last surviving member of the guards. She was surrounded
by the corpses of villagers and Black Rot orcs alike, and her
rapier slew another orc every time it lashed out. Still, she was
covered with cuts, visibly exhausted, and badly outnumbered. The
end was a foregone conclusion.
Serrin watched in horror as his mother was cut down. Deep inside
a white hot rage, and no small amount of hate, erupted. The orcs
paused over Lavayn's body howling in victory., only to realize
they were being out screamed. Even though he was not believed
to be mature enough to be on the front lines, like almost all
citizens of Draksten Serrin had been trained since before he could
walk to be able to defend against orcs. The orcs had only paused
for a moment. It was enough.
With a roar of anger and hate Serrin attacked, cutting the
unsuspecting orcs to ribbons. Only a few managed to even realize
what was happening before Serrin slew them. With the orcs dead
Serrin rushed to his mothers side. Lavayn managed to speak a handful
of words to her son, before she died in his arms. Serrin wept,
but the sounds of the battle all around him cut Serrin's mourning
short. And then the rage returned.
The village of Draksten has a legend, of a young boy turned hero
in the battle against the Black Rot orcs. There were better fighters
and more experienced fighters, but none could match the sheer
viciousness and ruthlessness of a young boy with a look of madness
in his eyes. A boy named Serrin.
In the end, the people of Draksten managed to repel the Black
Rot army. The cost was high. Many were dead, many were dying,
Most of the village was badly damaged or destroyed.
But Draksten had also broken the back of the Black Rot Army.
Serrin stayed in Draksten for a time after the battle to help rebuild,but it soon became apparent that Serrin no longer belonged in the village. The townspeople remembered the psychotic look in his eyes during the battle, and the sheer viciousness he was capable of. Though he was a hero, Serrin was also feared. Serrin even found himself distanced from his father. Turin Derrisek could not even bear to look at his son.
Serrin believed that his father blamed him for his mother's
death. (Certainly Serrin blamed himself for it.) The truth though
was that Serrin reminded Turin enough of Lavayn that to even look
at his son was excruciatingly painful for him.
Soon the change that Serrin had undergone became obvious as he
became calloused and distant. The boy that had once been kind,
caring, and wise now became a cold, calculating killer
who didn't give a damn about anyone or anything other than himself.
Approximately two weeks after the attack, a group of adventurers
came to Draksten. Though they were far too late for the battle,
the adventurers did what they could to help with the rebuilding
process. One of the adventurers, a human ranger named Garath,
noticed the brooding Serrin and inquired about him. Upon hearing
Serrin's story from the residents of Draksten, Garath decided
to apprentice Serrin, to show him the ways of the ranger and to
show him how to care again. Two weeks after the adventurer's first
arrived, Garath and his new apprentice, Serrin, left for the start
of a new life.
Three years later, Gareth returned to Draksten and reported to
Serrin's father that he had failed. He told him Serrin had a deep
love for nature, but other than that Serrin really didn't give
a
damn about anyone or anything other than himself.
Serrin is very tall, for a half-elf, standing at six feet even.
He has light brown hair, green eyes and generally has a thin mustache
and beard which he grows thicker in certain spots in an attempt
to disguise his Elven features. He wears a battered Green cloak
just about everywhere he goes,
usually with the hood pulled over his head.
