This is Darick, a character in my book. He's an adventurer- kind of like a character in an RPG game, with a hand in everything related to the plot. In his world, if something's happening somewhere, he's not far away.
And why does he do it? Because he can. He wields Vaidfate, a blade that can claim its share of mighty deeds.
Oh yeah- I guess I should mention that he is young in this drawing, in his twenties. As I know him, he has a mane of grey hair and doesn't wear that smexy beard, favoring the salt and pepper stubble.
