Beacon Academy

Backstory
Maegor was descended from a long line of noble warriors whose heroic deeds were repeated to him in his childhood ad nauseum. Consequently, he grew up wanting to be a hero. Unfortunately, reality was not so kind - unlike his siblings, he showed no promise in swordsmanship. Eventually his own father gave up on training him, and he became the tacit disappointment of the family. With heroic ideals still in mind, he continued training on his own, hoping that one day he could get accepted into Beacon, the school where the best Aasimar are trained to become knights of the realm. Without his father's endorsement, or official training, Maegor did something unspeakable in their culture. He sent forged transcripts as part of his application. Someone as unskilled as him would've died during their initiation process (where they had to battle monsters in a dungeon), but he was lucky enough to be partnered with one of the best up-and-coming Aasimar knights of their generation, Renora Nikos. His kind, goofy nature endeared him to her, and a friendship was born. Knowing his background, she offered to train him, and under her guidance and unique teaching style, he started rising quickly through the combat rankings. His joy was cut short a year into his time at the school when a group of Fallen Aasimar sabotaged the school, leaving it open for a monster incursion. In the resulting battle, Renora was killed protecting him when he had made a near fatal mistake. The school was overrun, and he and many other students scattered to the wind. Unable to return home, he decided to venture out into the wild gaining experience killing monsters and doing good deeds for others. He may never be a true knight in title, but he sure as hell will try to live up to the values. For the most part, Maegor adheres to a strict code of honor which sometimes leaves him at a disadvantage. He comes off as naive, and can be overly trusting. If it weren't for the natural Aasimar ability to detect evil, he'd have been screwed over a bunch of times. However, there are rare instances where he's willing to break with his code and do something morally grey if he thinks it will lead to something good overall.
