Name: Dane

Species: Hylian

Specific Description: Dane stands at approximately 6'2", with blonde hair and blue eyes, with a lithe, atheltic build that hides not only a strong body, but a strong mind and will. Has a lightly tanned complexion, but looks like a normal Hylian otherwise, including the pointed ears. Male

Typical Species abilities: Hylians have a strong skill with both magic and martial combat. Dane uses both as a swordsman, turning his magic inward to increase his natural reflexes and strength to greater heights than a normal swordsman, even imbuing slashes and thrusts with fire and wind spells. Also has a great amount of dexterity and speed, allowing him to more aptly wield his duel weapons.

Backstory: Dane is an interesting character, having been born in Castle Town but spending most of his life out in the forests and fields of Hyrule. His father was a ranger of sorts who spent his time hunting out pockets of monsters, stalfos, wolfos and the like, and wiping them out with both magic and blade. When he grew to be old enough, his father began to teach him how to properly use a sword, starting with basic parries, slashes and thrusts and eventually going into more advanced maneuvers. 

Dane, however, never knew his mother, who his father said died of an illness when Dane was no older than two years of age. The magic his father knew he learned from his mother and so it was the same magic that Dane learned, though in his travels he has learned other forms of magic as well. In the years since he was old enough to wander as a ranger himself, he's lost his father and the small home they had lived in and now has a small cabin built on the edge of Odon Forest well away from an old village. He didn't like the feeling he got from it when he passed by and he could remember his father clearing out monsters from there more than once in his youth. 

For now, he is in Castle Town, investgating the shops for the goods he needs before returning to his cabin in the woods and resuming his monster hunting ways. He also spends time in Telma's Bar to see what information he can get about happenings in the other lands.
