Physical Description
Tall with lean muscle from physical labor working on his family's farm, Killian is the eldest son of his ten other siblings.  He has a kindly, face, still soft from youth but can possess a hardness to it whenever he becomes too serious, making him look more like the growing adult he is but one thing that can be said about him is that he has very soft eyes.  His eyes are the gentle color of the sky, pale blue and friendly. He also has white-blonde hair, worn in shaggy layers about his head, with no pieces any loner than falling to about mid-neck length (He tends to trim his hair if it ever makes it to his shoulder) and barely keeps the majority of his unruly layers out of his face (which frame most of his forehead and face).

He normally wears plain clothing, as his family was never rich, with brown, grey or ivory colored pants, and normally a worn, off-white shirt, whose collar is worn loosely open over his toned chest by leather laces.  His is fit, farming the land and tending to his family's apple orchid have kept him fit, but he's newer to the idea of fighting, despite what his father taught him growing up, and was excited when he finally got the opportunity to join the knights and focus on protective skills of swordplay and discipline.

He also wears worn, brown leather boots, about calf height and a worn black or brown belt on his pants.  He also tends to wear hand-me downs of his fathers, so all of his clothes tend to be well-worn.

He only owns one personal object, an old necklace that used to be his grandfather's. It's worn on a metal chain and hanging off of it is a worn, metal luck charm- though the image on it has been worn past the point of being decypherable from what it once was- but his grandfather assures him it was an image of their God, Angsar.

Personality
Kindly and naive, Killian has never experienced the darker aspects of the world, and since he grew up with a large family, finds himself easy to get along with most and tends to be outspoken, but can be firm when necessary.  He always dreamed of becoming a knight, viewing them as strong heros of his nation.  He has no real opinion on magic, since he's rather naive to it and never had the chance to encounter anything of the sort.
Killian will do just about anything to make others happy, even at the price of his own happiness, which came from growing up on a poor-farm during a few bad years.  Being the eldest, he gave up his own rations of food for days in order to ensure his younger brothers and sisters got to eat.  Now that he's able to be a knight, he's sad to leave his family, but more than eager to explore the world in hopes to make his family proud and earning them some much needed money.
He is also INCREDIBLY bashful. You put him around a pretty lady, and you can bet your buns he'll be stuttering up a storm and blushing profusely. X3

Magic/Abilities
He is human, so he possesses no magics.

Relationships
He has a large family. There are eleven children in the family (including himself), his mother and father.

History
Killian grew up on a farm. Their primary source of income comes from their apple orchard, which, because of some bad weather, has since withered in size. They keep live stock as well, so Killian is well versed in tending to fields of plants or herding animals.  Because they kept live stock, he learned at a young age to value life and the life an animal gives up in order for you to eat (though meat in his family was very rare) and he also learned some medicinal arts as well (stitching together wounds, general herbs for head aches, etc)
He's also very thrifty since his family was poor, and knows how to patch up his clothing in order to keep it lasting just a bit longer before it becomes even too worn for him to wear.

While growing up, Killian always dreamed of a knight, but when he was old enough to join, it was the same year their orchard suffered from bad weather, and he, suffered from illness as well.  When he became better again, he had to focus on helping around the farm, and it wasn't until recently that his father allowed him to leave home to join the nearby duchy and become a knight in training, and now, Killians dreams of becoming a knight are coming true.
