Character Description and History:
Dariel isn't a significant human being. He's your everyday average man. Tanned complexion, black hair cut short with a straight shape up. Usually sports a goatee, an over sized t-shirt (black or white being the only colors) that hangs well below his waist, sweatpants that have a baggy fit, and sometimes a hoodie that he keeps his head warm with on the cold days. Stands just under the six foot mark by less than a full inch, sporting a very lean well built 175 pound frame.
Dariel lived a more or less typical childhood. Born in the hospital, taken home happily by his mother and father where he was raised, cared for, went to school, and had hopes and dreams of being a hero. It started off as him casually mentioning it over dinner one day. Then it grew to be a long distance hope. Soon, it consumed him. From the second he watched his first 1 on 1 Zoids battle Dariel knew, that he wanted to become a pilot. People always asked him why subject himself to the harsh lifestyles of being a Zoid pilot. When he the potential to be so much more, a lawyer, a businessman, a paramedic, musician, anything was easier than the up and down brutalities of sanctioned or unsanctioned battling. His answer was always the same:
“The purest form of existence lies in bonding with your zoid. To face another zoid to prove your the better. To fight, to survive. To win, to lose. Its where I belong. Its where I'm alive.”
As poetic as his words may have been, it wasn't simply “I want to pilot” and they'd hand him zoids and a battling license. His parents were the least supportive of throwing their son into that world, and so he was forced to continue his schooling for better or worse. But his dream never died, nor did his passion. But it wasn't until he met Max that his dream got that chance. They're relationship began as two random students doing an assignment in class as partners, then grew to being friends. Soon, they were spending most of their days hanging at each others house, or playing in the warm sun outside. But it wasn't until his friend Maximilian's father passed away that the two finally began their dream. Max's father was a very wealthy man and his death passed that onto Rayleonard's son. With the fortune of the Thermidor's funding a transport and 2 zoids for each their careers began parallel to one another.
