Its string is made from exceptional boar sinew, it's a fairly rare material around these parts of the world. The limbs have been decorated with masterful paintworks and end in long points shaped like dragon heads. The handle is wrapped in rare hide and decorated with symbolic writing. The narrow quiver is made from light leather and is supposed to be worn around the archer's back. The outer side has been decorated with silken ribbons, which seems to mean a lot to the archer. In the hands of a trained archer this bow is capable of firing arrows up to 154 meters while still retaining lethal power. The arrows paired with it are long and sleek, and are carved with intricate patterns. They are a red colour with golden tips and silver feathers. When fired, the arrows make a soft sound whilst going through the air, almost like a whisper.[/hider] - Sword - [hider=Description] A long, thick, straight blade made of silver is held by a grip wrapped in fairly common, navy blue goat leather. With a single, sharp edge this weapon is the perfect choice for slicing and dicing while also offering you a way to effectively block attacks. The blade has a broad, straight cross-guard, creating the ideal weight balance to allow for smooth and accurate swings with this blade. The cross-guard has an ornamented spider on each side, this weapon is clearly meant to be taken care of with dedication. A fairly small pommel is decorated with gilded linings, no expense is spared for this gorgeous weapon. The blade itself is engraved with a small, blue gem at the bottom of each side, that glints in the light when in battle. Also on both sides of the blade, the words "memento mori" are engraved above the gem.[/hider] - Shield - [hider=Description] This reinforced sharp heater shield, made from ebonsteel, offers unyielding protection, especially against piercing attacks and slashing attacks. Not the work of a mere amateur, as this shield was forged by fury dragonkin in an ancient workshop. The shield's edges are augmented with metal rings and have been decorated with feather-like metalwork. Its center is ornamented with painted symbols and small scrolls attached with wax. It's clear this shield stood the tests of battle. Dents, scratches and scorchmarks made by who knows what leave mementos of beating the odds, but one this is for sure: this shield isn't done serving just yet.[/hider] - Leather Armor - [hider=Description] A clearly used (but also polished) set of leather armor that Dune wears as a memento of his previous profession. [url=http://cosplaysaga.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/kraken-leather-armor-cosplay-1024x760.jpg]Appearance (ignore the creepy looking guy.)[/url][/hider] - A Folded Flag - [hider=Description] The flag is made up of two vertical stripes and a circle in dark brown, dark purple and dark gold. Its emblem consists of two eagle claws with a droplet on either side, joined together by a haze of fire that surrounds the circle in the centre. The emblem stands for Dune's anguish, his misfortune and his pain.[/hider] - Medium Satchel - [hider=Description] A medium-sized satchel Dune normally wears over his shoulder. It is made of a hardened leather, and has a wolf emblem etched into it. It contains two pieces of rabbit, a small piece of venison and a small pouch made of deer hide that carries his coins.[/hider][/i] [b][color=FFEC3C]Skills/Magic/Talents[color=black]:[/color][/color][/b] [color=FFEC3C][b][u]Shifting[/u][/b][/color] [i]Luckily, since Human form is a part of a Shifter's cycle of forms, Dune still has his Shifting abilities.[/i] [color=FFEC3C][b][u]Strength[/u][/b][/color] [i]Due to his Alpha-to-be training, Dune has higher strength and endurance than the average human being. He can't instantly snap a bone, of course, but still strong enough to do some damage.[/i] [color=FFEC3C][b][u]Healing[/u][/b][/color] [i]Though not as good as it once was, Dune still retains a part of his healing abilities. He can't, however, heal a severe wound or burn. He is now also vulnerable to other metals as well as gold.[/i] [color=FFEC3C][b][u]Animal Instincts[/u][/b][/color] [i]Dune has exceptional hearing and a keen sense of smell, though not surprising. He is able to follow a scent trail like a wolf, also, and has above average reflexes, making him able to catch an arrow.[/i] [b][color=FFEC3C]Demeanour[color=black]:[/color][/color][/b] [i]Dune is quite an independent man, though not surprising since he doesn't speak a word of English. This means he doesn't know the sense of companionship, so feels quite alienated away from his Pack. He is, however, loyal and forgiving, but not too confident around other species due to his upbringing. It is, in a way, like the relationship between man and ape.[/i] [b][color=FFEC3C]History[color=black]:[/color][/color][/b] [i]Dune remembers only small segments of his memories (four years can be like a lifetime for Shifters), and even then has had to write them down in the hopes that he can grip onto the past. The main parts he can remember are pivotal moments of his life, like his first ever kill, the first time he shifted, and being trained and taught by his father. He occasionally goes back to this little journal and jots down recounts of his days, just so he can look back upon them. At one time he had to write down the abilities he had to remind himself they were there.[/i] [b][color=FFEC3C]Extra[color=black]:[/color][/color][/b] [i]Dune speaks the Old Tongue, which can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-MT9Y72ChDpUrg_BDiDsC4IjXWtqYAXix3VM1yoVsf8/edit[/i]
