CHARACTER NAME: Asher Davidson
ALIAS: Tha Paladin (title of story)
SPECIES: Wolf Spirit (well, in human form - no tail or anything other than eyes and tribal markings when he summons ancestral power)
Basic story arc:
We introduce our "hero" with a simple bar fight
rumors spread that a "puh-LAA-din" is going from town to town, attacking bandits wanted for various crimes, but never killing them, merely "punishing" Description of the guy is rather inaccurate, and the reader doesn't quite know that Asher is the Paladin or that the Paladin is Asher, for that matter. He is only introduced AFTER the fight as such.
Flash back to when first appointed with the title.
forward to new bandits
then a flashback to the "fall" of Asher (The Betrayed)
with a final arc into finding who actually tipped off Roy and Siete and ordered that Asher be attacked mercilessly, as well as a small flashback every now and then talking about WHY.
*SPOILER - It's Asher's brother, Cyrus; Cyrus was exiled from their tribe for crimes deemed "unforgivable"*
