The Lore of Battle Mage Goliath of the Desert
Goliath always lived under the shadow of his overachieving twin brother Danny, and carries the weight of his tremendously ambitious name. Coming from a family of battle mages sworn to protect the Forgotten Runes from the nefarious minions of the Quantum Shadow, Goliath was trained in the arts of war from a very young age. Descended from a lineage of some of the most celebrated warriors in the Runiverse, expectations were high for him...but Goliath never really liked to fight. He preferred to plop down on a hammock on the beach on a sunny day with a tall glass of pink lemonade beside him, and a good book describing the adventures of a wise wizard or noble warrior of the realms. However, if his parents caught him doing any such thing, it would've been an immediate beating followed by 100 push-ups.
Although Danny was obviously the favorite and the one who earned the highest grades, won all the mage tournaments, and was the most popular amongst their peers, Goliath also managed to find his niche in life. Combining his love of astronomy as well as the performance arts, he discovered a talent for illusion magic. Everyone thought he would fail the battle mage admissions trials, but Goliath managed to weave his glamours to make the other competitors take each other out until he was the only one left standing. His parents, though they preferred the direct approach to combat (fireballs and such), were begrudgingly impressed by the son whom they had previously thought would spend the rest of his life living in their basement. And thus began the saga of Battle Mage Goliath.
As a new recruit and the lowest ranking battle mage, Goliath's first assignment was to patrol the outer borders of the Forgotten Runes: the vast inhospitable desert known as the Sand. Although other battle mages deployed in the area usually just snuck off to the Zaros Oasis to hang out and gamble, Goliath took his duties seriously, and quickly earned a reputation amongst his superiors as a hard worker. Despite daily sunburns, some of which were intense enough to set the ends of his moustache on fire, he enjoys his job as Battle Mage Goliath of the Desert. He even met his familiar there, an orange suncat he named Garfield. Also, there's a female battle mage in his battalion he's developed a crush on, but since Goliath is shy and has no idea how to talk to women, she naturally doesn't even know he exists. Maybe one day he'll work up the courage to ask her out on a date (he knows a lot about stars and constellations, which is supposed to be romantic, right?).
