Appearance (if description or picture):

His mother mysteriously disappearing, he was raised in a poor settlement by his father, a kind man who taught Granis how to survive by scraping by in the harsh environment. When Granis had turned fifteen, his father passed away by way of disease, leaving him to find his own way in the world. Shortly after, the strange malady struck Granis, leaving his left eye white, blood-shot, and useless, but otherwise leaving him unharmed. Bereft of any known family, he roamed the wilds for months on end until a wandering mage crossed his path.
This man, Kalthus Canter, took him in to his cottage, adopting the previously lost-in-mind Granis. During this time, the mage saw in Granis a potential for magic, and taught him how to wield the ever-burning energies of Fire. He was taught the ways of magic by day with Kalthus. By night, the ways of the sword from the various texts Kalthus owned, studying particularly the style of the ancient warriors of old, when the ways of the blade were at their strongest. This went on for five years, partially molding and shaping Granis into the man he is now, though his magic lacked in most areas but one (as described below in *weapons.) Upon his day of “graduation”, the day he left the care of his mentor, Kalthus bequeathed upon him a set of heirlooms of his family. A set of bronze armor, a large, round bronze shield, and a re-forged steel katana.
Equipped with his only possessions, Granis set out into the wide world, the various foes and experiences he encountered sharpening his skills and changing him fully into the man he now is. He generally wanders around, looking for mercenary work.
Personality: Granis is rather hardened person, liking few and trusting less. Though he is of the faction of Fire, his loyalties are to himself or those with the right amount of coin. This does not mean he has no morals, and so never accepts a contract of “questionable” nature, due in part mostly to the repercussions that most of those have. He is very analytical and calm, applying his tactful nature to any and all situations that require (or don't require) it. His lack of associates is partially due to the fact that few approach him for anything besides a job, causing him to be wary of people in general. It is unknown, even to himself, if he can trust people beyond merely using them.
*crush: None currently
*pet: None currently
*weapons: Aside from his mind, sword, and shield, he has created a unique spell with the aid of Kalthus during his time spent with the mage. It is the expulsion of a green flame from his gullet (essentially vomiting.) This flame does not burn, but rather dissolves whatever it touches, moving as a liquid would. He was also born with a slight mutation, making his hands have but four fingers instead of the usual five. This reduces his dexterity with his hand-work, but compensates for this with an unusually strong strength in the remaining digits.
