He prefers to wear pastel clothing when he does not wear armor, and his gloved hand is found clutching a hand crossbow. His brown hair is cut jaggedly and amateurishly. His half smiles and amber eyes are beguiling and draw you in.

Personality: Stoic and calm, he prefers to meditate than take action. He refers to his adoptive father for almost all things he is unsure about, which are numerous. He is very much still a child and has not developed a drive for self-dependency.

History: He was born in the north, but his parents moved at a very young age to the south. Ostracized due to the psionic powers of his oldest brother, he and his siblings struck out on their own.

History: Trained by his mother for as long as he can remember he had it drilled in his head that it was his duty to serve his country.

History: From birth he was tutored by a cruel and relentless mentor. He couldn't stand his childhood mentor and eventually formed a pact with his mentor's previously failed apprentice to rebel.

History: He served in the navy to pay for his family's outstanding loans. He sought a place where he would be rewarded solely on the merits of his skills.
