His body isn't overly muscled, but it isn't fat as well. However, he has some fat, so he could be warm during the harsh winters in the Far North. The long and loose darken hair is tied, because it would most likely get caught in branches or get grabbed by bandits. His face makes him look older, but that's just for all of the stress that he kept to himself ever since he left the Kingdom of Dawn The clothes are just something that Mathis brought at Southarbor when he first set foot at Vasili. Since the day he got them, he has added in a couple pockets and kept it clear. His armor is just made out of hardened leather, so he could move around while he is firing his bow. He also tied some leather around his legs to put his dagger in, it's a lot easier to pull it out when he needs it. They don't look 'wealthy' and the colors are mostly dark, but Mathis doesn't care how 'good' his clothes looks.[/I] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 【[U]Full Name[/U]】 [I]Mathis Azaïs[/I] 【[U]Alias[/U]】 [I]Mathis[/I] 【[U]Gender[/U]】 [I]Male[/I] 【[U]Age[/U]】 [I]Twenty-Nine[/I] 【[U]Sexuality[/U]】 [I]Questioning[/I] 【[U]Birth Place[/U]】 [I]Dawngaurd[/I] 【[U]Nation/Allegiance[/U]】 [I]Kingdom of Dawn[/I] 【[U]Profession[/U]】 [I]Explorer[/I] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 【[U]Personality[/U]】 [I]Mathis is loyal and honest with people that he cares for; however, he isn't a person to trust. He doesn't flirt as much as the common man does and he isn't such on what gender he likes. Since he has spent time exploring the Far North, he has become more curious and risk-taking of things. Like, go to a tribe's camp and write down stuff on how they made their homes. And he is optimistic to the bad side of things. Because of his times away from civilization, he doesn't know how to socialize with people that well. Of course, he has the manners and he does talk to people; but, he isn't emotionally with people at all. Especially with the wealthy or most people who were born in Vasili, those kind of people Mathis hates. However, he doesn't state that when he meets them. His hate could be just anger over the fact that Vasili tried to invade his home country.[/I] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 【[U]History[/U]】 [I]The only person that Mathis loved more was his mother and brother. His mother supported his dreams of becoming an explorer and brother told him that he would still love him 'no matter what happens'. School was his second home as he spent time studying the history of The Northern Lands and the world. And at the age of fifteen, he was for such that he wanted to become an explorer. His father didn't like that and told him that goal was 'so stupid that he should just become a farmer'. His mother and brother were supportive of his dream and soon he was going to explore Far North. He spent years getting ready for the expedition to the uncharted lands. Mathis trained on the bow and arrow and learned how to survive out there. He also learned how to use a dagger by his brother, just in case he didn't have any arrows left. Funding the expedition was the easy part, because his charm and determination got him the funds needed. At the age of twenty-six, Mathis was ready to leave his family and nation behind. With the war between Dawn and Vasili going on, he had to leave quickly before Vasili launch another invasion. He said his goodbyes to his family and left Dawngaurd. He boarded a trading ship going to Southarbour and prayed that the ship wasn't attacked. Thankfully, he got off the ship at Southarbour and soon hired guards to escort Mathis to Fort Cain. The ride from Southarbour to Fort Cain took a long time; however, he decided to stop at Boulder Tower. The guards didn't agree with his decision, but they went anyway. He documented the whole area and it's people before racing away the area as the people threw rocks at them. He then spent two years of his life documenting the area around Fort Cain and other parts of the Far North. He published his first book, [i]Beyond Fort Cain[/i]. It was an interesting book about the tribes of the Far North and the areas beyond the control of Vasili. Mathis' book was mentioned all over The Northern Lands at schools and scholars debated about the book. It kept Mathis exploring the Far North and the tribes for many months until the plague surfaced. While traveling back to Fort Cain, Mathis and the guards were riding their horses. The peaceful ride soon turned deadly as a man came out of the woods and attacked one of the guards. The man managed to bite into the guard's neck and he was running towards another guard. However, he was put down by Mathis' arrow and dropped dead below the guard's feet. They raced towards the wounded guard and carried him back to the Fort. The fort was the best option, because they were away from any nearby villages and even the tribes didn't have the proper medical equipment. Thirty minutes of carrying the man on horseback later, they got to the fort. By that time, his skin and blood soon became darken and he was immediately sent to the nurses and doctors for help. Mathis and the others were told to wait until the wound was treated. And they went out of the room and waited outside. They heard mentions of the plague from people at Rundorm; but, they didn't care much about it as the plague was away from them. As they were talking to the fort's guard about what happened, they heard screaming coming from the room and sounds of horror. The fort's guard ran towards the room and saw the wounded guard chewing on a doctor's left arm. Outside the fort, the infected were running to the fort and they were near the fort's wall in a couple minutes. The people were starting to panic over as the plague was invading the fort. The guards defended Mathis against the infected, which gave him to get his horse and race away from the fort. Of course, he knew that they were going to die and he thanked them for helping him the last time. He raced away from the fort as the infected soon claimed Fort Cain, Mathis knew that he needed to get to the nearest town and report about it as soon as he could. So, he rode to Boulder Town and rested there for a couple days. He helped the people pack their belongings and rode with them to Titus. He stayed there only for a couple and then went to Minorhold to get on a ship, that was going to the Kingdom of Dawn. However, he learned that his home country was shooting down any ships trying to cross the channel. Mathis couldn't believe it and now he didn't know what to do. He decided to go to the Crossroads and then to the capital, Sovereign. At the capital, he would hide there until the plague was under control and go back to his home. Mathis needed to find a way out of this hell hole and this plan was the best one.[/I] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 【[U]Skills and Abilities[/U]】 [I]Because of his profession, he's better educated than most people in the Northern Lands. Mathis knows how to read and make maps, in fact, he has some made of the local tribes' villages. With the maps and other information, he knows more of the Far Norths than anyone else. Well, he doesn't know beyond the village of Rundorm and he barely knows the Grey Islands. And his charismatic and persuasion has improved, due to his time in the Far North and with the tribes. They are useful for getting out of sticky situations or just getting something for someone. Other than those skills, he knows how to aim and fire a bow and he also knows how to stab someone with a dagger. And he knows about the history and the politics of the two countries.[/i] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 【[U]Weapons/Tools and Magic[/U]】 [I][u]Weapons/Tools[/u] He has a bow and arrows that he uses for defensive. And he also has a dagger that he uses if he runs out of arrows. [u]Magical Spells[/u] Mathis doesn't have magical spells to cast or anything that's magical.[/I][/center] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [i](I [s]don't[/s] love your milkshakes.
