Name: Laoch Chosaintóir Species: Sidhe Court: Mostly neutral but leans more towards the Unseelie Title: The Wandering Knight Appearance: Fairly mundane for a Sidhe. His most defining feature is his height, reaching a little over 4 and a quarter inches. His muscles are corded and wiry, giving him a slim but toned look. The only other notable thing is that most of his left ear has been torn off and a large claw scar covers his chest. His wings are pretty normal, big enough to give him flight and durable enough to take some damage. The only thing abnormal about them is that they are fairly dull, not giving the glossy appearance most of his race has. Background: Laoch never really liked the monarchy, he felt it too strict and inflexible. However he kept this sentiment to himself for he felt his duty to his family, who were strictly Seelie, was more important than his ideological differences. As he grew older his family noticed that he wasn't really all that great at architecture and no matter how hard he tried he just couldn't improve, so instead of moping about it and becoming the family fool he decided to focus his energy in the arts of warfare. In this branch of art Laoch found his purpose, hours after hours he would spend training his body until eventually it was a weapon all its own and afterwards trained in the use of blades. Simple things made of steel and found within the homes of the Bigguns, he didn't know where they came from only that they had the words "X-ACTO" etched into them. Using these tools he became the best warrior in the family, easily being able to take on any of the others in single combat. Yet as the Biggun saying goes, all good things must come to an end. A troll had appeared around the families territory and was causing trouble, in retaliation the patriarch of the family sent Laoch and a large detachment of warriors to deal with it. After hours of battle and many casualties the day was won, taking the head of the troll as a trophy Laoch went home only to find ash. Since most the warriors had gone to kill the troll, a rival family sent there warriors and razed his home to the ground and took most of their artifacts. The only thing left of worth was a set of armor, locked in a vault they rivals couldn't open. Seizing the armor for himself he and the remaining warriors went their separate ways. With a heavy heart but unburdened shoulders, Laoch decided to make a name for himself as a sell sword and a wanderer. Traveling the world under the employ of Unseelie explorers. Personality: Gruff, level headed, and prideful. Whenever Laoch talks its always to the point, seeing as spinning long winded lectures as a waste of time. Nonetheless he has a mighty patience and can endure rants, speeches, and overly long apologies for quite awhile before he grows tired of listening to you ramble. Laoch also has a good head on his shoulders and is in control of his emotions almost all of the time, giving him almost a lifeless, mechanical feel from most people. However with those he is more familiar with he is much more warm and lively. Due to his pride as a warrior Laoch cannot fight someone without a weapon or some way of defending themselves either with glamers or summoned beasts. Adversely his pride also makes it impossible for him to not give it his all in a fight no matter the opponent, from the strongest troll to the weakest fairy he will fight with equal determination and effort. [b]Talent:[/b] Martial Prowess- Laoch has spent almost his entire childhood training to become a warrior, as such he knows how to use most weapons efficiently with the most amount of skill placed in the use of blades. However his knowledge stops at the more technological weapons like explosives and things of the sort. Growing up in a Seelie oriented family restricted him from many of the technological advances that others are used to. [b]Knack:[/b] As stated above swordsmanship is Laoch's greatest skill. He specialized in wielding two smaller but equally deadly blades at once, giving him a major edge in single combat but a minor disadvantage in fighting many enemies at once. [b]Flaw:[/b] His fear of failure stems from his inability to save his family and house from utter destruction. Whenever the possibility of failure becomes likely he will become less reliable and more reckless as he scrambles to ensure victory which could lead to serious exploitation from a more level headed strategist. Major Skills: Swordsmanship, hand to hand combat, intimidation, scavenging Glamers: Resplendence 3, Enchantment 1 Charms: Has a dreamstone located inside the family heirloom he wears around his neck and a flux capacitor worn as an accessory on his belt. He knows of one location of which his family used to gain charm and it is located within a newspaper cartoonists studio. Artifacts: Laoch's armor is comprised of mostly real world metals but the inscriptions located in the chest plate, boots, and gauntlets give them more durability and protection from enchanted weapons at the cost of complete destruction should he gain a Bigguns gaze leaving him defenseless if he survives the encounter. Mount/Conveyance: No permanent one but he can use resplendence to gain a temporary mount. Allies: Equipment: The blades Laoch wields are just steel, no magic involved.
