[b]Name:[/b] Ismael Barbara 

[b]Age:[/b] 25

[b]Gender:[/b] Male

[b]Personality:[/b] Ismael is regarded as one of the finest huntsmen in all of England. That said, he's also known to be a bit off. He tends to be introverted. His hunting animals, hounds, a horse, and a hawk, seem to be the only creatures he trusts. While very intelligent, Ismael doesn't speak unless he has something to say, and even then, usually only when directly spoken to. However, despite his quiet and off putting demeanor, he's fairly active in his community. He hunts game and sells it to local butchers, he does odd jobs for those who are otherwise unable, and he has been keeping tabs on Robin Hood and his gang, perhaps interested in joining their antics.  

[b]Appearance:[/b] [right][img]http://i.imgur.com/fSU33Ez.gif?1[/img][/right]
Ismael stands at 5'9". His skin is a light brown, spotted with scars from past fights and altercations.

His eyes are the softest thing about him. He has chocolate brown eyes that look every bit like a sad hound dog's.

His hair is very dark brown, long, and curly. He usually sports facial hair, matching what's on his head. His clothing style seems more thrown together than actually thought out. Being in him line of work, where nice clothing would only get dirty and messed up, it suits him to dress humbly.

[b]Weapon of Choice:[/b] Hunting knife and trained animals.

[b]Other:[/b] His first language is Spanish, although he speaks English well.

[b]Background:[/b]  Ismael was born and raised in Spain. He lived in poverty with his parents and two older siblings, who were forced to beg and scrounge for food while their mother and father worked their fingers to the bones. When Ismael was 12, his family's money situation became so grave that they could no longer care for all three of their children. Him, being the youngest, was the first to be sacrificed.

Ismael was sold to a noble as a servant. Being the skinny kid that he was, he didn't have much use other than caring for his master's horses and hunting hounds. Over the next few years, he learned how to work with these animals, and eventually began training them as well. His master thought well of him; Ismael was a good worker, he was smart, and he did what he was told. However, when Ismael was 16, his master married moved to a far away state, selling off many of his servants before he went. 

Ismael was sold to a rich man in England who wasn't quite as kind to him. After years of being able to do as he pleased, as long as it was productive, Ismael wasn't used to being struck for his mistakes or being logged down by rules. His new master didn't want to hear his ideas or opinions, so Ismael became quiet. 

He was a fairly obedient servant, making few mistakes and needing little correction. The first and last time he truly stepped out of line was when he entered the house after a day of work to find his master beating his mistress. The woman was clearly in distress, and Ismael instinctively caught his master's hand without a thought. The man stopped his violence towards the woman, but only to turn it to Ismael. Ismael had never been beaten so bad in his life, and he wasn't about to stick around to break that record. 

When his master finally left him, Ismael left the house and ran. He didn't care if he had to beg on the streets like he did as a child; he wasn't going to stay and let himself be hurt. He traveled through several towns until he eventually acquired a puppy. He trained the young hound as he once did for his first master, and began to hunt for a living. Over the next few years, he managed to steal a hawk fledgling from its nest to train as his own. He now has several dogs, a horse, and one bird. Ismael has made a name for himself as a hunter, finally making enough money to live freely and without fear of starvation. But while he may no longer be in desperate poverty, he feels for those who are. 

Ismael is still getting used to the idea that his own opinions can be heard, at least if he speaks to the right people. He wants to do something about the growing gap between rich and poor. Having heard about the antics of Robin Hood and his Merry Men, Ismael has been pondering over whether he should seek them out to help the cause or not.
