Anton Oakthorne
Bio
Anton is the son of Duke Arthur Oakthorne and a member of the Duke's court. He's not very fond of his noble work and would much rather be out questing, going on expeditions, and binding new crytures. Anton is good friends with Levi Loric and the two sometimes work together on missions that are beyond the skill of common militiamen.
Although Anton was born before the founding of Rootrun, he was very young when his father bound The Verdant King. His earliest memories are of living on a dangerous frontier. As the years passed, the town of Rootrun grew bigger and bigger around him and the true frontier became further and further away.
Nowadays, his day to day life is filled with managerial work and some occasional patrols. Sometimes, Anton can find an excuse to go on an expedition to fulfill the nostalgia of his more adventurous childhood, but knowing that his father was stalking a mythic cryture at his age, it's never enough to sate his appetite.
Ambition
Anton grew up hearing about the exploits of his father and his old friends, Lucas Loric and Kasper Starber. He longs to have adventures of his own that measure up to the tales he heard as a boy, and will take every opportunity to get away from home and strike out into the wilderness.
Anton's ultimate goal is to bind a mythic cryture of his own. As such, he always keeps an ear open for rumors about mythic crytures that he may want to seek out.
Strengths
Despite his laid-back demeanor, Anton is a man of action. He will jump at any opportunity for adventure or heroics to break the monotony of noble life, which has given him a reputation for helpfulness and getting things done around Rootrun and its villages.
In battle, Anton has a balanced repertoire of skills, wielding both melee and magic weapons. He also wears fairly heavy armor for extra durability. For his choice in crytures, Anton prefers to summon Air and Lightning types, giving him pretty good coverage against other types. All of his crytures can either fly or levitate as well, so they can access places that most won't be able to reach.
Weaknesses
Anton's lust for adventure can sometimes get him in over his head, and he doesn't always have the perspective to know when that is. His helpful reputation can also be a hindrance when people see him as the go-to person for every little problem. This can be compounded by his reluctance to tell anyone "no."
In the same vein, Anton is also reluctant to make his crytures do anything they dislike, which can make a problem with a simple solution far more complex than it needs to be.
Astral Pocket
Anton's astral pocket manifests as a chain of islands, separated not by water, but by an ocean of clouds. Stone towers climb infinitely high, their peaks obscured by higher layers of clouds in the sky. Each floor of these towers is decorated with murals and monuments that document major events in Anton's life.
At some point, Anton is always prevented from climbing higher into every tower, by one means or another. Even his crytures are unable to fly through the clouds beyond a certain layer. Presumably, this is because that part of his life hasn't happened yet, but he can't resist the urge to try every once in a while.
