[i]"Blood is shed and lives are lost, but for what cause?"[/i] [b][u]Personal Information[/u][/b] Name: Jasper Aldo Age: 18 Sex: Male Date of Birth: August 5th [hider=Appearance] [img]http://th01.deviantart.net/fs7/PRE/i/2005/156/1/1/knight_by_flo_moshi.jpg[/img] Jasper stands at 5'7" and he has a slim yet muscular build. He has golden eyes and a square chin. His face, however, can give off a soft and innocent look. He has black hair that is just above shoulder length. Jasper bears scars of all sizes. One of his many scars happen to cover the left side of his chest. It travels down his left arm and covers his hand as well. He always wears a brown, leather glove and long-sleeved linen shirt to cover up the damaged skin. Jasper generally wears comfortable fur-lined leather boots along with black linen pants and a white or red linen long-sleeved shirt. When he is on duty, he wears a iron plate chest piece with iron plated shoulder guards. He also wears an orange long-sleeved linen shirt and black dyed leather bracers. He also wears that glove to cover his hand. He also wears black pants and dark colored leather boots. He has a tan cloak as well. (Basically the picture.)[/hider] [hider=Personality] Jasper is not even close to a bystander. He has been known to protect his friends if they are getting beat on or if they are in a fight. He has a few female friends who have had their hearts broken. Unfortunately, for those guys who did such things, they got taught a lesson. With this being said, he can easily be labeled an overprotective individual. However he knows that people deserve freedom and he has learned in the past that he will not always be around to defend those he cares for. He sadly learned that lesson the hard way. Despite being overprotective, is an out going guy. He tries to put smiles on peoples faces and he does his best to be serious when he really needs to be. Jasper knows when he shouldn't say a word and when he should. If its one thing that he knows best, he learned that getting to know someones past is better than just learning their personality and their all around character. He also learned that looking at the light of the situation is always better. Remaining positive is the best thing to do, something he tries to attempt over and over again.[/hider] [hider=Biography]It all started with the relationship of Vicar and Elie Aldo. They were running there own business throughout their young lives. Vicar had been using a blacksmith shop for income. The shop was given to him by his father when he was a teenager. This blacksmith would be the same place where Vicar would smith a steel sword for his youngest son. The couple had four children. Two daughters and two sons. The eldest was a son names Eryx, who took apprenticeship under his father when he was big and strong at the age of 13 Jasper was 8 at the time. Jasper's two sisters were fraternal twins. Their names were Pegasus and Autumn. Life was great for the Aldo family. They ran the very shop that contributed to the arms of the humans during the Draken-Hume War. However that was something they wouldn't learn until later on in the generations. Jasper grew up helping his father and his brother at the shop whenever he could. Normally he would help people pick out weapons and armor. His brother taught him how to handle a sword and how to fight with his fists when it was really needed. Jasper's mother and sisters always tended to the house whenever they needed to. They would normally make sure the family pet was taken care of too. A large dog that normally ran around and played with Jasper when he was younger. Eventually the dog passed and the family would have lost their own blood and flesh that day. After the death of Jasper's comrade, Jasper continued his training with his brother in sword play and he even watched his father from time to time when he was repairing leather armor. His father taught him how to use a grind stone to sharpen a blade of any kind. Jasper soon learned the one thing that was hidden from him and his sister's for years. The family wasn't really for the Draken-Hume War. They had two sides to the whole thing, they didn't believe the war was worth it, but at the same time they believed it was necessary to carry out destiny that the human race seems to follow. Jasper didn't think much of the war and went on to tend to the family business or swordplay on his free time. Jasper's life was great all the way up until the past two years of his life. When he was 16, the new order known as the Wallguard demanded that the Aldo family's blacksmith shop go towards the effort of making weapons and armor for the Wallguard. Jasper's family agreed that they would deny serving them and that they would explain they were just a local shop meant to serve few people who were looking for a good blade or even a good bow and some armor. The Wallguard would listen to their explanation, but it would pay the largest consequence possible. The family was sentenced to death for "treason." They executed Jasper's whole family and kept him alive to serve the Wallguard. Few people know the truth, mostly adults, but Jasper knows the whole truth. Considering Jasper knew he was powerless against the Wallguard, the community that surrounded the blacksmith shop gave Jasper a place to stay. All Jasper had was the sword his father forged him, an emblem which he uses as a clip for his cloak his sisters made him, the armor his brother forged, and a dagger that has been passed down from his mother. Jasper has served two years in the Wallguard and had only had to take care of minor disputes with goblins.[/hider] [b][u]Combat Information[/u][/b] Primary Division: Assault Troops Secondary Division: N/A [hider=Weapons] Jasper prefers the curved, steel blade shown in the appearance picture. Aside from the design below the hand-guard, and the handle of the sword itself, the whole sword is steel. The handle is of a strong unknown wood and the design is made out of iron which has been painted over. There is also a [url=http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/105/c/0/Sinaa__s_Dagger_by_Aikurisu.jpg]curved dagger[/url] stored on his hip, which he always carries just in case he would like to duel wield or if he lost his sword in the line of battle. The curved dagger is made of steel with the handle being wrapped in red cloth and an amethyst placed on each side.[/hider] [hider=Abilities]Adaptive: Jasper can use his surroundings for just about anything. He doesn't have the issue of going into a new territory or area and feeling very uncomfortable about it. His survivability is not altered in a specific terrain and he will be able to remain stable regardless of climate. This ability does not just refer to terrain though. Jasper can pic up any one handed sword or a dagger and he can use it just as well as the person before him used it. Agile: Along with being adaptive, Jasper is quite agile. He is a fast runner and he has an ability to climb obstacles or get around them in odd ways. Along with this, his attacks are often swift and without hesitation. He has yet to meet someone who can swipe a pebble away from his hand or even out run him.[/hider] [hider=Techniques/Spells]Skilled swordsman: Jasper has been handling a sword as soon as he was old enough to pick one up. He was taught by his eldest brother on how to use one and how to fight well with one. When Jasper was around 11, he defeated his master, his brother, in a duel. Since then, he has practiced with his sword that his father made him and a dagger, which was an heirloom for generations in his family. Duel wield: A skill that Jasper had taught himself, Jasper learned that using two one handed swords, or even a sword and a dagger, can increase his chances of taking on multiple opponents at once. Him and his eldest brother have been teaching each other new ways to use duel wielding and their training has been going well, until recently.[/hider]
