[quote=DAWNSTAR] And thus I bring into life our second heavy. I am sure the mages should be happy now.Name: Xavier HawthorneAge: 32Sex: MaleHeight:6'4"Squad Role: HeavyAppearance:Origin: SurraBackground:Xavier's life wasn't an easy one in the town of Banth. His father crafted weapons and armors for warriors and inducted his son into the buisness early. By the time that Xavier was sixteen, he had been taught how to forge weapons ranging from a simple iron dagger to an iron zweihander. Yet, Xavier felt the call of adventure and asked his father if he could leave to see other kingdoms. When Xavier's father told him no, Xavier took flight with a bundle of equipment his father had crafted. Life steadily became worse for Xavier as he traveled from Banth to Gond, the capital city of Gond. When the battered, beaten and almost starving Xavier arrived in Gond, he was faced with a lack of food and housing. The streets of Gond were not a kind place for the young male. The rare hand outs and odd jobs that Xavier worked barely allowed him to pay for food. Xavier finally managed to find a job as a guard. Xavier went through a month worth of training before he was allowed to even guard the walls of Gond. Xavier faced little battle and did nothing more than arrest the occasional theif. He advanced slowly through the ranks of the guards until he reached the position of sergeant. After reaching the rank of sergeant, Xavier faced heavy prosecution for being an outsider. There was a time when Xavier was charged with assault while arresting a man who caused a bar fight, the punishment was a brand put on his left hand. The distictive brand forever marked Xavier as a criminal and forced him out of Gond with nothing more than a few pieces of silver to his name and a set of armor and a long sword. The twenty-seven year old warrior wandered out of the enclosed lands of Gond and traveled through Tysus for a few years. Xavier was working as a salesword for anybody who would pay him the most. It was by fate that Xavier came to the Alabaster City. His last 'master' had payed him half the amount after hireing him and the last half was to be payed to him when he came to the Alabaster City. Yet, when Xavier showed up, the man who hired him had never shown up. It was just an accident when Xavier stumpled upong the Fifth Echelon's booth. Skills:-Xavier can craft and repair certain weapons and armors.-Xavier is somewhat good with a sword and shield-He is good at rating the quality of weapons and armor.Reason for joining the Fifth Echelon: Xavier joined the Fifth Echelon because he found its gurantee of payment agreeable. That and he wanted to find out more about other portions of the world.Other information:Xavier has wiwth him a simple shield and iron forged sword. [/quote] And so the 9th squad finds another one of its heavies, Xavier! Accepted, will edit into current roster. Sorry, gentlemen, had a pretty long night tonight. I believe there is one user who wanted to roll a sapper but did not get to post his character sheet up. Regardless, tomorrow the first IC post to start things off will be made. New members and squad members can 'join in', being transferred from other squads or companies, but only until the first engagement. I am afraid that after the first major battle I will be unable to accept new members. Until a good opportunity arises, that is.
