Rough outline of Aries L. Dire's Story-
As a child he grew up in a wealthy home, his father, Luther D. Dire, was the general of the militia in the province they lived in. During his prosperous youth he had everything at his finger tips, but always felt alone aside from his brother Virgel as if that in itself matters. Virgel and Aries had a horrid relationship, they often fought and bloodied one another over the simplist of reasons. As a follower of Vega since birth he has taken up the teachings and is wishing to spread the knowledge amoungst his future youth.
In his adolesent years, he enlisted into his father's militia along side his brother Darius. While enlisted he grew into quite the soldier, favoring the weapon of his idolized god, Vega, he fought on with a giant battle fan, as a fierce component of battle. During a mission into southern regions to cease the docking town of Ithrencere, belonging to the followers of Daijinn, for trade route purposes to lands farther south of the Baslisk Sea. As they were deployed unto the city the were attacked by savage beasts known as Grunglings, Grungling themselves are of no threat to most armed forces, a single man can take down a mass of twenty Grunglings with garden supplies. With these however, they were well armored, well equiped, and had mounts of ravens and Di-Reeden. The militia had fought on hard but lost to many men to continue the campaign. Amoung the men lost was his father, he was devastated by this, he made a solumn oath to search out the means in which the Grunglings had aquired such provisions and tactics. As a rememberance of the battle he has kept the blood stained armour plates of the last Grungling he had slaughtered that day.
About three years after the events of his father's death, his brother Darius took it apon himself to start another militia in the province to protect against bandits and Grungling. Virgel had left about two years prior leaving only a note saying

"Dear Family, I do not plan on returning on good terms with our people. I only wish to tell you that I am safe."
~Virgel S. Dire

With very little to do, Aries came up with a job selling Skri to traders and travelers whos mounts couldn't make it in the heat or sandstorms of Vega's Stomping Grounds. During his salesmanship he met up with a varity of people, problems, and paradoxes. Amoungst the people he met two in particular that stuck in his mind forever. One is the woman of his life, Lisa M. Dire [Zeimes]. and the other is a fellow from a city far east, past the lands of Isis and in the far corner of the blazing lands of Azazel, They spoke to one another for a good while, enjoying a night of drinking and he even saw the man off. The only problem with the man is, he seemed so familiar, like someone he should know but can't place the face with anyone. For the fact they never knew one anothers name, it would be hard to remember much more, so he simply went on knowing that somwhere in the world there were two people whom he would spend a time with and will miss.

Now he is a twenty-two year old Raven-Kin living his life searching for awnsers to the questions he asked as a child, he seems settled in to everyone but it is far from the truth, he has been planning to leave as soon as the time wills it. He will take only his camals, his wife, and his collection of insects with him to travel to the farlands to meet people whom will allow a Vega follower amoungst them, which means that him going to any docking towns for trade is out of the question due to the emerging war between the Vega and the Daijinn.
