Need some help piecing together my Dark Knight's background / history. Her name is Rona Wolfsblood; a traveling Highlander who tries to deliver justice and erase evil in everywhere she goes. Here's a brief summary of her background. Basically, I need help deciding what this creature that she's hunting down is (want it to be powerful and sentient, perhaps a demon of sorts but nothing as important as Ifrit, obviously, something that can be unique to her character story). I also need help figuring out how Soul Crystals work and if this is a practical thing that could happen.
Here goes!
Rona's parents were killed when her village was destroyed by some wondering monster / creature / demon when she was a girl. A Dark Knight who had been tracking the monster down to put an end to it came across her in the ruins and took her in. They came across a second ruined village with yet another survivng child, and took him in as well. Now responsible for two children, the Dark Knight stopped wandering and brought them back to Ishgard to raise and tran them in the ways of the Dark Knight as brother and sister. When they were in their late teens, the brother got frustrated that the creature that killed his parents and destroyed his village was still alive, accusing the Dark Knight of being a coward since he hadn't yet gone to face it. A black mage eventually came to Ishgard and promised the brother that he could help him defeat the monster, as he was after the same thing. The brother started to fall out of the ways of the Dark Knight's teachings for a couple of years as he trained with the Black Mage in secret, and when Rona came home one day from her training, she found her home was destroyed and her adopted father was nearly dead, and learned that the brother had killed him in an attempt to steal his crystal so he could have the power to defeat the monster himself. He managed to steal half of his soul crystal, but held on to the second half to give to Rona in his dying moments, though her father asked Rona not to hate the brother and to forgive him and find him to try and bring him back in to the light again. So Rona's current mission in life is to find him, make the crystal whole again, stop his evil ways, and defeat the monster once and for all.
And that's what I've got so far. Thoughts?
