Thael is a towering 200cm tall, and weighs something in excess of 200 lbs. He is an imposing presence to his enemies, but a reasuring one to his friends. Thael’s hair is a sandy blonde colour, and he has blue eyes set in a strong face.

Thael is usually dressed in uniform: others might rush to change into civilian clothing the instant they can, but Thael is perfectly comfortable remaining in uniform. When he does don civilian clothing, he keeps it straightforward and functional: jeans and a plain t-shirt. Part of his choice of clothing is the fact that it’s very hard to find clothing that properly fits his large frame.

[b][u]Personality:[/b][/u] As one might expect from a man of his size, Thael is a loud, exuberant person. He has an infinite supply of boldness and bravery, but often acts without thinking, which can land him in difficult situations. He is generally very cheerful and enthusiastic, and he wears his emotions on his sleeves. Thael lives by the adage "Give it 110%" and is very hard working.

Thael’s greatest weakness is that he’s stubborn, or at least not a very flexible thinker. Once he’s formulated an opinion or taken a stand, he is extremely reluctant to back down. This is exacerbated by his deeply seated sense of right and wrong. While Thael has memorized every ‘by the book’ maneouvre there is, he reacts poorly to changing circumstances and is bad at improvising. Thael is very self-conscious about this shortfalling; he worries people think he's stupid. Thael is also concerned that despite his best efforts, he won't be selected for command positions.

To his credit, Thael is a very compassionate, caring individual. He believes in protecting the weak and standing up for what’s right, and he’s extremely loyal to his friends. Thael is unfailingly optimistic. He sees the best in everyone and everything, and he never loses hope. Sometimes he can be a bit blunt or tactless. Fittingly enough, his astrological sign is Taurus, the Bull.

[b][u]Biography:[/b][/u] Thael’s childhood was fairly normal. His parents were loving, he was well looked after, and generally lived the carefree existence of a child. His father served in the military, while his mother worked for a public health agency. Thael idolized his father, and always wanted to grow up to fill the old man’s shoes. Thael met Sam and the others at a young age, back when people still called him Jared. From the first day, Thael was in awe of Sam. Thael was always bigger and stronger, but he could never command attention the way Sam did. When the kids played games together, Thael liked to opt for the direct approach, but Sam’s keen mind worked out complex strategies and pulled them off effortlessly, a trait Thael still wishes he had.

The calamity brought about big changes in Thael’s life. His father died 6 years into the First Contact War; the man’s remains are still out there, somewhere in the wastes. His mother had to drop her work in health policy and return to actively practicing medicine, so she was keeping very late hours, often leaving 14-year old Thael to take care of his 3 younger siblings. The death of his father made Thael all the more determined to fill his shoes, and the boy was thrilled when he discovered he had the makings of a Guardian.

This determination drove him through his adolescence and especially through his years at the academy. Thael wanted to become the ideal Guardian, and he put everything he had into that dream. Both his room and his person were always imaculate, ready for inspection at any time. He spent hours in the gym, perfecting his combat techniques and improving his physique. He spent just as many hours at the library studying, and has maintained an impressive GPA. Despite all this, he still found time to be there for his friends. With graduation approaching, Thael hopes that he'll be selected for a command role, the last thing he needs to become that perfect Guardian.

[b][u]Weapon:[/b][/u] [url=http://files.asgard-rpg.webnode.cz/200000186-76d1c78690/HTTOL-21-2.jpg]Spear[/url] and [url=http://filesmelt.com/dl/oolaciletowershield7.jpg]Shield[/url] Both are made of a military grade carbon-titanium alloy. Thael is extremely proficient at using both weapons, and spends long hours practicing with them. He is also well trained in hand to hand combat.

[b][u]Limit Break:[/u] Hope Will Never Be Silent!:[/b] Holding aloft his spear, Thael and his companions are bathed in blinding golden light that heals their wounds and lifts their spirits, as well as making their enemies flee in terror. Allies fight with extra vigour, run faster, and are more resistant to damage for the next few hours, and they even faintly glow a warm golden colour. Terrified enemies can take days to recover. Thael's limit break is triggered by concern for his loved ones, so either when his allies are wounded and all seems lost, or when someone he loves is in mortal danger.

[b][u]Spirits:[/b][/u]
[b]Light: Sunspear:[/b] Thael throws his spear at an enemy, and a number of lances of blinding light appear to strike multiple enemies or focus on a single target. Unfortunately, the spear does not magically return in any way, and Thael must retrieve it.

[b]Light: Golden Aegis:[/b] Thael raises his shield which projects a barrier of light much larger than the shield itself. The barrier protects Thael and any allies behind him from most attacks, though the barrier does have limited endurance and can be overwhelmed by powerful attacks or a large number of weaker attacks.

[b]Protection: Guardian Leap:[/b] With superhuman strength, Thael leaps to a nearby ally's side. The force of impact is directed to nearby enemies, who are thrown to the ground and temporarily stunned. The height and distance this leap can achieve is considerable, even for a Guardian.

[b]Courage: While I Draw Breath (Passive):[/b] Thael is not easily incapacitated. He suffers wounds like any normal guardian, but he refuses to succumb to them; he feels less pain and is less crippled by his wounds. Thael won't go down until he is near death. Unfortunately, the spirit that provides this resistance can not sustain Thael indefinitely; no more than a few minutes when he is badly injured. Another disadvantage is that when pushed to it's limits, so many of Thael's spirits are devoted to keeping him alive his other abilities diminish in strength or even fail. Once Thael is out of danger and can relax, the injuries take their toll, and Thael takes longer to heal naturally than other guardians due to the strain this ability frequently places on his body.
