Who served the Kings of Renaltia faithfully since the kingdom was founded. During the time when the Gods attacked one of his ancestors died protecting the king as a body guard. The son of that knight knowing the kingdom was losses, threw down his knighthood and took his families fortune and made it into a thriving business. He was born in the land that would later become the northern part of the Kingdom of Renaltia near the Templar order, the same land his ancestors owned in the old days. His families happiness short lived though when he was five his mother died during a winter giving birth to a younger sister. But she also perished that winter due to a sickness she caught. Leaving Jason to be alone with his father, a kind and generous man who taught him to act like a Knight of Renaltia, to serve and protect those less fortunate than him and never let evil men get what they want, saying evil only thrives when good men do nothing. During the Kingdoms rebirth his father claimed the right over lordship over his families old lands, to serve the Kingdom once again. With his fortune he help greatly with funding the Queen's on what they needed, for two years he worked closely with the Queens, giving them access to their families journals and history which they kept closely guarded. When Jason was 12 he was traveling to the capital with his father. During this trip his fathers caravan was attacked and killed by bandits, he of course when he saw his father fall tried to save him by fighting off the bandits. Untrained and young he was wounded in the attack and was knocked out, being left for dead. That's when he first came into contact with the Kings Rangers. Just when the bandits were pillaging the caravan a ranger happened upon them. He was on his way to take care of another noble... Who wasn't cooperating with the Queens. When the bandits saw him they attacked foolishly, out of the ten men only three survived. After binding the men and searching for any survivors, the ranger found Jason, patched his wound and brought him and the three men to the nearest fortress. Medical attention for Jason and the dungeons for the three bandits. The ranger left Jason there to complete his assignment and when he came back a month later he was about to take him home to his uncle, but felt inspired to offer Jason to live at the capital with him. The ranger explained he could go home and be like his father, and serve honorably as a knight of the Realm, in his own lands or he could live with the ranger, and serve the Queens more and become a Kings Ranger. Jason though of his fathers words "Evil only thrives when good men do nothing." He also remembered his telling stories of Kings Rangers and how much they did for the Kings, more so than many knights at the time. He wanted to honor his father and help the Queens more than he could than being a knight. His uncle was a great man and he felt he should follow this ranger. So he accepted to be Ranger William's apprentice. His training with William was different from most others due to the fact that William was stationed in the capital, spending a little more time in the castle than most apprentices, but after nine years he finally was skilled enough to be a Kings Ranger. But his mentor/ adoptive father in a way gave him an assignment he would have never had guessed, instead of taking up a post in the kingdom, he was assigned to the Queen's Blades. [/hider] Motivation: To make his father proud and honor to his family name. And for the Queen's and his duty as a Ranger [hider=Kings Rangers Lore]In Renaltia 1000 years before The Kings Rangers were an Elite intelligence and reconnaissance force, respected and feared through out the world. During the time when the Gods showed their wrath almost all of the Rangers were killed, trying to protect the royal family. Though few did survive, one of which was with Princess Kouri when she was "frozen" in time. Afterwards when the surviving Rangers regrouped and found out Princess survived they decided to continue their duties by protecting her location from the Gods, as well as gathering all information of the kingdom so it can survive the ages. As well as keeping up on their intelligence of other kingdoms to aid the princess when she returned. But they decided to keep to the dark, keeping their group small they managed to stay hidden. In the last ten years of the rebirth of Renaltia, the Kings Rangers have quickly regained their strength. As they where before, They're the eyes and ears of the Queens of Renalta, information gatherers and peace keepers of the kingdom. They don't answer to anyone but to the Queens, often being the Queens voice to her nobles or to other kingdoms if need be.[/hider] Stats and Traits Strength: 5/10 Agility: 6/10 Charisma: 5/10 Magical Endurance:0 Fighter: 0/10 Sniper: 4/10 Skill set- [hider=Longbow][URL=http://s388.photobucket.com/user/Aerandir24/media/E22D1E9A-5A15-4FA5-85AF-DC91C12FD4F8_zpsbyifxuzu.jpg.html][IMG]http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/oo328/Aerandir24/E22D1E9A-5A15-4FA5-85AF-DC91C12FD4F8_zpsbyifxuzu.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Main weapon of the Rangers.[/hider] Skill set- [hider=Ranger set of Throwing Knifes]As in the 2nd picture above. The larger of the two blades is made of far superior steel to normal blades (giving the blade a faint blue tint). It is longer than the throwing knife, made of a series of leather discs set one above the other and a short brass crosspiece. The blade is long and straight, nearly the size of a short sword. It is kept razor sharp on one side while the other end is thick and heavy. The throwing knife is short with the same hilt design as the larger, but the blade is thin at the hilt, widens considerably down its length, then narrows quickly to a sharp point. Both blades are balanced and both can be thrown if needed, while they both can be used in melee combat in a duel blade tactic.[/hider] Leader: 0/10 Seducer: 1/10 Sneak: 5/10 Mage: Experience Traits --Trait 1. The King’s Ranger - Whether formally trained or not, this character reflects some of the training of the once prevalent King’s Rangers, whom served faithfully and loyally to both the original Renaltan kingdom and the new one that has arisen from its ashes. They are masters of silence, especially out in the wilderness, and have learned how to spot and abuse weak spots in opponents... Though typically at a range, and this is most effective when they haven’t been seen as opposed to fighting openly and brazenly. --Trait 2. Charming Rouge - Perhaps the most antiquated concept known to man, a dexterous person with a silver tongue can do wonders for making enemies feel sympathetic towards them, making guards turn a blind eye, or flirt their way past individuals in their way to reach their ultimate goals. This makes it more likely that enemies will spare your character in a fight, and makes it easier to convince neutral people to aid your character. Conditions --Trait 1. Clean Blood - Clean Blood: This character is known as a clean blood, a member of their race whom has for several generations been lucky enough to avoid crossbreeding into other species for one reason or another. Due to this they can spend two extra points on physical stats. On the other hand, there are several creatures envious of clean bloods throughout the world... Especially vampires and lycanthropes, who prize the blood as being their equivalent to top shelf wine. Effect: +2 Physical points on character creation. Vampires and Lycanthropes are more likely to come after your character, as well as other... Estranged... Characters. --Trait 2. Powerful Connection - This character has a connection with one of the most powerful characters in the world, be they powerful through politics or powerful through sheer force of arms, and for one reason or another has earned their attention and perhaps even their care. Either way, in times of great need or upon request, said character might appear to help them, delivering information, or saving them from a particularly nasty spot... All for reasons that only they know. Effect: Grants your character a special connection with a legendary hero or villain of the realm, whom may come to your aid in times of great need or upon request. Note: You may request one specifically or leave it up to the GM to draw one for you and PM it to you for your approval. Characters include but are not limited to: Queen Kouri, Sarah Darkhammer, Amanda the Archmage, etc. --Trait 3. The Chosen One - There are two forces in this universe which attempt to keep balance against one another. Fate, the embodiment of order, and Destiny, the embodiment of chaos. While they are not living or sentient by standard definitions, they have throughout the thousands of years chosen champions for causes both small and large, but which nearly always change the world in some manner. Your character can receive such a fate or destiny, to either reject or accept with open arms. Fate: Those who become a champion of fate usually pursue a cause which grants power over others, creates stability, or otherwise attempts to create order. These are usually more impactful of those around you, sometimes at the cost of themselves. Unique --Trait 1. Kings Ranger Apprentice- Having been training since 12, the apprentice is very accurate with his shots while moving or in awkward positions, very effective and rarely misses. He/She is also trained to be expert trackers. Also with the cloak is well known through out Renaltia and can intimidate common folk (ex: peasants, bandits etc.) and on occasions some weak minded nobles. They also are given specially trained horse that are bred for incredible endurance, they are often mistaken for ponies for how small they are, but despite that they are fast and smart, being taught many tricks to help the ranger in certain situations.
