Shen'daar Gantharon
Age:
29
Profile:
Height: 5 feet 10 inches
Weight: 180 lbs
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Green
Build: Athletic
Complexion: Tanned
Description:
Emerald green eyes contemplate you from a refined, chiseled face, gaze earnest and unwavering, the man's stance and shape indicating an athletic but powerful build. The fine features are in stark contrast to the glowing blue war-paint traced in runic symbols on his face, arms and legs, outlining and accentuating musculature and bone structure. He wears a simple forest green tunic falling to mid thigh, open at the chest, exposing more glowing runic sigils. His hair is the earthy brown of the trees he calls home, hanging about his face in heavy waves down to the shoulder. A strange aura of power is perceived by those in his presence, evidence of abilities other than mere swordplay.
Personality:
Shen'daar is confident, intelligent, honest and opinionated. Upon meeting someone for the first time he will quickly make an appraisal and determine them to be either friend or foe, and his outward demeanor will clearly reflect his feelings toward that person. He is nevertheless respectful to most people he meets although he can be seen to be slightly aggressive or arrogant upon inital contact. He has no love for sweet-talk or diplomacy as these qualities are considered by him to shadow the pursuit of truth and honesty. Owing to the tragedy experienced by him at a young age, Shen'daar finds it extremely difficult to trust those that he encounters, thus he has few real friends. Once his friendship is won though, it is of an extraordinary depth, and he will gladly jump into certain danger in defense of those that he cares for.
History:
Shen'daar grew up in the forests in the central area between Rialis and Sialis on the Western Continent. He was taught woodslore, herbslore, archane, and swordplay by his uncle Ere'dann as both of his parents were killed in front of his eyes when he was only 5 years of age. He began to visit the towns of Rialis and Sialis at the age of 10, going there to gather supplies for his uncle and to sell animal pelts and rare herbs to the townsfolk. Despite living in the forest, he has a well rounded education and is particularly knowledgeable with regard to the history and mythology of the land of Terra.
Motivation/Goal:
Shen'daar has two prime motivations: To become more powerful in his swordplay and archane abilities, and to seek out the man that murdered his parents. The only clue he has to this person's whereabouts is a strange amulet that was found near his father's body after his death.
Character Class:
Warrior (Weapons Class) / Archane (Chaos Archane)
Familiar: N/A
Weapon:
A flaming longsword traced with glowing runes. Shen'daar also has a bow and quiver of arrows for hunting.
Demon/Spirit: N/A
Fighting Style:
Shen'daar wields his magical sword in his right hand with great expertise, while saving his left hand to launch magical attacks and cast incantations to aid in combat.
Abilities:
Flame Burst: On command his magical blade will burst into flame, which cannot be extinguished by any conventional means. He can also launch white-hot fireballs from the tip of the blade or either of his hands with a single word. These fireballs decrease in effectiveness if Shen'daar fires several of them without resting.
Chameleon Way: Shen'daar can cast a Chaos Archane spell that renders him undetectable by blending into the surrounding enviroment. In any woodland areas this is undetectable even by magical means. Useable three times per day.
Animal Summon: By sending out a mental summons, Shen'daar can call any nearby animals to his aid, whether it be for a simple task such as an eagle to send a message to another person or for a wolf to assist him in combat.
Runes of Deflecting: The glowing runes on his body are semi-permanent and are a form of defense that is always active. They act as a magical shield against physical and magical attacks. These are directly related to his health, energy and willpower and as he becomes more injured, demoralized and tired their glow and effectiveness decreases.
Skills:
Due to growing up in the wilds, Shen'daar excels at swimming, climbing, hunting game and is an expert tracker. Few animals or people can disguise the paths they have taken from his keen senses. He is also quite skilled in herbslore, owing to his upbringing.
