Arkley Bronson

Appearance
Arkley was a man in the prime of his life at age twenty five. His dark brown hair was shaved around the sides and cut short on the top- a very clean militaristic look. His eyes were the color of chocolate and seemed to have a natural mirth to them, though this was likely because the man was constantly in good spirits and smiling. His face bore no facial hair because he was an ardent believer in shaving. When he was not in his standard issue Imperial Plate, his body was a wiry musculature- the type of body developed from years in the army as opposed to strongmen or weightlifters. His skin is a bit tanner than your average Lordaeron native.

Background
Arkley was born on June 14th, 9 K.C. at Caer Darrow to Joss Bronson, a Fisherman, and Millie Bronson nee Bluefield. Arkley spent his youth waking up early in the morning to go fish with his father and then gallivanting around the island with other boys pretending to be great heroes of the Alliance. All of that changed when Joss began to hear rumor of a plague circulating through Lordaeron. Joss was a superstitious man and believed that the plague would ruin their fishing business and thus took his family to Stormwind. Mere months later the plague would turn into the Scourge of Lordaeron and wipe out their former home.

In Stormwind fishing was much more competitive and as a teenager Arkley often found himself working a cart on one side of the city while his father covered the other. Ever the day-dreamer, Arkley would often find himself parking his cart just in view of the Cathedral where he would see the glorious Knights of the Silver Hand marching to and fro. This fascination would get the better of him and when his parents passed from a nasty bout of blood fever, he enrolled in training to become a paladin. Unfortunately conflict began to ring out around the world and Arkley felt it was his duty to join the Stormwind Army and make sure nothing like Lordaeron ever happened again. He left his training before it was complete, at the age of sixteen.

From there he was sent to Redridge as part of a unit to stave off Blackrock aggression, as reinforcements to Honor Hold after the Dark Portal opened, stationed at Wintergarde Keep where he fought to defend against Naxxramas' onslaught, as part of the unit garrisoned at Highbank during Deathwing's terrible war, and finally as part of the initial force sent on the Skybreaker to Pandaria. Arkley was given leave to Stormwind after Operation: Shieldwall began due to his long guerilla status in the previous months. While back in the capitol he learned of the First Regiment, a storied and valorous unit within the Stormwind Army. In late July of 34 K.C. he filed for a transfer to the regiment with Duke Maxen Montclair's approval and has been part of it ever since.
