Irving
Backstory
Irving was born and raised in Brookstead, known for its first-rate military academy, which Irving attends. The school and town are based on the ancient model of 'soldier farming'. Local youth attend Brookstead Academy in the hopes of taking up positions as Delian officers upon graduation. Graduates who successfully reach the end of their military service are granted an endowment of land in Brookstead to settle and raise the next generation of officers.
Growing up, Irving learned all that he could of his father, whom serious duties called away, from his mother's stories. Throughout his childhood, he only ever held one man in a more favorable light, his older brother, Sterling. Though 8 years younger, Irving constantly aspired to receive the same level of martial training. The two spent many nights swinging practice swords in the fields, as soon as Irving had the strength to lift one.
As Sterling grew older, the two spent less time together, and Irving prepared for his own journey through Brookstead Academy, where many professors expected him to excel well beyond his classmates. His brother set a high mark, smashing many records that had stood for years, but the cool-headed, sure-footed younger sibling soon proved capable of besting many of the most talented students before he had even enrolled.
His progress only ever faltered when he reached the limits of training solo, at which point he met Garrick, the headmaster's son. For all the drive that Irving brought to the table, Garrick brought levity. They honed each other's skills and became fast friends. Now, one year from their graduation, they have achieved the highest rankings in the academy. Many eyes, both inside and outside of Brookstead, watch eagerly to see where their careers might take them.
