Jace

From Alirpg

Jace Belden is, for lack of a better term, the wandering mercenary gypsy who raised Taiya. After his mother's death (due to illness), he struck out on his own convinced that a life of adventure and complete freedom was better than anything he'd find rooted in place. He adopted/befriended the gypsy girl soon thereafter, and the two became their own sort of family over the 9 years they were together. It was this close connection to Taiya that resulted in Jace's death at the hands of Blackbird 7.

Jace is rough, sarcastic, protective, and easy-going. He is very firm about what he chooses to believe and very focused in his actions. He can come off as rather intimidating since he refuses to hold back for anyone and can appear very gruff or dangerous. But he is still the more mature, polite, and interactive between Taiya and himself.
