Raesis

User Image
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




╫Main Information╫


Full Name: Raesis Belvorenth
Bloodline: swordmaster
Age: 26
Gender: male
Nation: sol solis
Land: forest land of sulyll
Title: Soldier


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

╫Equipment Information:╫



Weapons: User Image
Golden sword was simply the name given to the blade for its shine. It is not constructed of actual gold ( I forgot to put this last time). His sword like all others is made from steel. Although strong it does have its limits. If it comes across any armor that exceeds its strength capabilities than it could easily break. The blade is a bit shorter than a normal sword to allow for fast, tight maneuvers when close to the enemy and so it can be withdrawn with relative speed.

Armor: Raesis has incredible skill with his blade. Such skill makes the need for more armor pointless and such add ons would only slow him down. With his speed being one of his main strengths he only has armor protecting his chest and legs with leather grieves and gauntlets. This armor by no means protects against everything but it does its job against weaker swords and arrows. It's his own sword that helps him with the stronger enemies. (hope this is ok)

Clothing: under his armor he wears a tight black turtleneck shirt. The bottom goes to just about his hip. Tight leggings extend from their down to boots that come to his knee. Over the mid thigh to the ankle is armor that only covers the front and just a small portion of the back is protected with leather. His footwear is also armor. Over his chest is a light chestplate and he has light leather covers (forgot their name) on both arms which go from just under the elbow to the wrist.

What else do they have on their person?: small coin purse, a travel bag, sheath, jerky, water,


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

╫Fighting Style╫
Raesis tends to keep a level head during battle. He believes that if even for one second he doubts himself then he would have lost the battle. His usual tactic is to rush the enemy and attempt a single hit kill by slicing off their head. If that fails then he switches to a speed tactic. He tries to hit them from all sides before they even know whats happening. If the enemy does somehow keep up with him then he will move to a stabbing technique where he would distract them long enough to get below them then stab under their jaw straight through the skill.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

╫Character Description╫


Personality: level headed, can be a bit sarcastic at times, kind when needed, loyal, strong willed, hot headed on occasion
Height: 6' 4"
Weight: 200 lbs
Eye Color: Blue
Hair Color: platinum blonde
Talents: besides his amazing skills with a blade Raesis prides himself on his people skills. He loves to talk. When ever he meets someone new he enjoys finding out all their is about them. On occasion he uses this knowledge to his advantage if he ever was to encounter an enemy that had some connection with that race.
Theme Music: Honor him
Battle theme
Companion: None
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


╫Background Information╫

Raesis was born deep in the Forest land of Sulyll. Since a small boy he had been trained to wield a sword. Ever since he could remember he had always had a sword in his hand. To be without it would be like losing his own arm. Never once did he feel neglected in his life despite his harsh training. As he grew he became stronger and faster as along with others his own age. At the age of 20 when he was at his best he was taken in as a soldier. He has been one ever since.

As he is a swordmaster and he writes his own code he feels he must seek out the problem instead of waiting for it to come to him. It was this that caused him to request of the king that he travel. By doing so he can vanquish any enemies before they even have the chance to get close to his kingdom. With the kings permission he left and has not returned since. He is constantly on the move and will only stop if weather gets in his way. (( let me know if this is too short...I just didnt see much happening in his childhood))

I'm good with all of this except the sword.
Not that it matters much with how we handle battle situations, but just for clarity.
You saw it is a 'golden' sword and gold is a soft metal yet it can slice through any armor.
And when we say any armor, we have Shadowmasters that had very strong living armor.
We want to avoid someone that has a 'one hit kill' strapped to their side for the most powerful of characters.
Plus armor is armor, nothing really 'slices' through it.
Perhaps bronze armor might cleave more easily but steel and the more supernatural one...doubtful.
I know that this is nit picking a detail, but I just don't want to let something go and then people complain about your 'over powered sword' later on.
Just clarify a little for me and dial down the total awesome of it.
lol
Thanks sweetie!

No problem :3 I understand I shall edit

Um if you get on while I am gone I was wondering if you could help me with the armor. I cant figure out how else to put it. And I hope my new description for the sword is ok

Thank you so much, and Approved!
As far as the armor, I understans what you are getting at but perhaps say something like:

While his expert swordmanship might make the need for defensive armor superfluous, he does where a few light steel plates over his chest and thighs, complemented with leather greaves and gauntlets.

Something like that, yes?
