[/center] ----------------------- [center] [i][b]Personality :[/b][/i] Owen often appears grim and cold to those around him. He has a very gruff exterior around people that he is unfamiliar with, but those that know him well know that his grumpiness is simply an act. Owen is very caring towards those that earn his trust and respect. He is strong willed, stubborn and fearless. [i][b]History :[/b][/i] When Owen was born, he was raised as a commoner, even though his family had ties with the Lesser House Fenix. There were rumors that his father was an embarrassment to the house, which resulted in Owen’s immediate family being cast out. The rumors were never proven, and Owen was too young to remember the true cause. His father resorted to alcohol in an attempt to hide his shame, which only caused him to grow bitter and angry with the world. When Owen was six, his father’s anger grew to the point where he would find fault in nearly everything. This led to the beatings. Owen soon learned to make himself invisible. If he could stay out of sight, his father would not be able to punish him. After years of hiding from his father’s wrath, being invisible became a second nature to Owen. He began to realize that he could go nearly anywhere and people would not even be aware of him. Owen found himself getting into more and more places that he didn’t belong, just to see if he could get away with it. It was a way to escape from his father, and Owen welcomed the challenge. For a long time it appeared as if nobody noticed him. But, unbeknownst to Owen, a Ranger had been keeping an eye on him. The Ranger was impressed by Owen’s skill at hiding himself, and getting into places he shouldn’t have been able to. The Ranger approached Owen on one of his exploits, and, instead of punishing him, offered to take him on as an apprentice. Seeing it as a chance to get away from his father, and to travel and have adventures, Owen jumped at the opportunity. Leaving his home, Owen went with the Ranger and trained for many years. He soon realized that being a Ranger was not all about fun and adventure as he had first thought. The training was very difficult, and there were many times that Owen thought about leaving. But then he would think back to his father, and his resolve would harden once again. After he completed his trials and became a full Ranger, Owen was given his own territory to look after. He quickly became known for his skills with a bow, as well as his ability to seemingly disappear in virtually any setting. Owen did not follow the customary tradition of recruiting an apprentice for a long time. He worked better alone, or so he kept telling himself. Owen became a highly trusted figure in the Ranger Corps and was elected into the Ranger Council. Although he has been patrolling the Hials region alone for many years, the rest of the council has been urging Owen to find an apprentice. Reluctantly he is starting to think that it might be a good idea, and has begun searching for a suitable candidate. [i][b]Theme song :[/b][/i] TBD [/center] --------------------- [center] [i][b]Clothing and/or armor :[/b][/i] A Ranger is very rarely seen without their famous cloaks, and Owen is no exception to this. The Ranger’s cloak is a mottled pattern of green and grey and is designed to camouflage the wearer perfectly into their surroundings. The cloak is one of the main reasons that many fear the Rangers, thinking them to be sorcerers who are capable of rendering themselves truly invisible. Owen also wears light leather armour underneath his cloak that grants him some protection without impeding his movement too much. [i][b][u]Tools and weapons :[/u][/b][/i] ======= [b][u]Name :[/u][/b] Longbow (Doesn’t have a name for it) [u][b]Description :[/b][/u] Owen can use the bow with incredible precision. He uses the bow for hunting, as well as for killing when necessary. The draw on the bow is very powerful, leading to a larger degree of penetration in the shots. [i][b]Appearance :[/b][/i] The bow is crafted from a dark wood. It is a simple design with no real flourishes. Owen keeps the bow in good condition, but there are still a few scrape marks that he can’t get out. ======= [b][u]Name :[/u][/b] Saxe Knife & Throwing Knives [u][b]Description :[/b][/u] The Saxe Knife is quite a large and heavy knife. It is balanced to be thrown if necessary, but its main purpose is as a defensive blade in case the Ranger’s bow doesn’t keep the enemy at bay. The throwing knives are standard throwing knives that Owen keeps in strap across his chest and his right wrist. They are relatively small and, as such, do not cause vast amounts of damage. They are highly accurate, however, and can cause significant damage if thrown in the right spot.

He is a highly intelligent horse, and has been trained to not let anyone ride him without the secret phrase. Colt has been with Owen for years, and has taken on many of his owner’s traits.
