His face matches his age, with wrinkles and creases adorning his face. An ample white beard adorns his face. White, unkempt hair razes atop his head. Within his small eyes, there can be seen a dark brown hue. His eyebrows are thick and add a sharpness to his facial features, culminating into a serious, straightforward, if a little wizened expression. [b]Weapons and Equipment:[/b] -Crossbow: A crossbow of simple construction. It is worn from its use on the battlefield, but still fires as true as the day it left the armory and into Victor’s hands. -Knives: A set of 5 knives that Victor carries on his person. They each vary in design and construction, as they are also souvenirs of Victor’s travels. -Doctor’s Bag: A bag containing basic tools necessary for speedy medical intervention. -Leather Armor: A light set of sturdy armor that provides ample protection for those on the move. [b]Skills:[/b] -Medical Knowledge: Years of training and study have given Victor the know-how to properly treat disease and maintain health. Combined with a lifestyle of travel, Victor is quite the field medic. -Small Arms Proficiency: Though his training included many types of arms, Victor preferred to stay unencumbered to maintain speed and concentration on the battlefield, both as a combatant and medic. As a result, he has expertise in weapons no larger than a shortsword. -Crossbow Marksman: Victor’s skills often meant that he was relegated to the rear of any formation. As a result, he honed his skills to operate optimally in his position and now possesses familiarity with crossbows. -Perceptive: Being perceptive has been a critical skill for Victor, whether it be locating the source of a major hemorrhage in a soldier or spotting said soldier in the midst of battle. His senses have been trained in order to ensure not only his survival but those of the group as well. [b]Flaws:[/b] -Aged: Experienced as Victor may be, his age is beginning to show. Victor is not as strong as he used to be, much less than that of many of Hyrule’s warriors. -Aloof: If there’s one thing that Victor needs to work on, it’s his bedside manner. Victor is not the best conversationalist and does not often put the effort in closing the distance between him and the people around him. -Love of Money: Being a part of a merchant caravan has instilled Victor with an inflated sense of the value of rupees. He is motivated by pay and looks to eke out the most rewards for his services. [b] Bio:[/b] Victor was just a young kid when Hyrule was saved, but the daring exploits of the Hero of Twilight forever left a mark on Victor’s mind as he grew through childhood. Born and raised in Castle Town, Victor was constantly exposed to tales of adventure and people of diverse background. It was during this early period where Victor’s ambitions led him to be a fighter just like the Hero of Twilight. At the age of 21, he enlisted to become participate in the Hylian-Gerudo War. When Victor returned home, he was disillusioned, the stories of valor in battle replaced with the real experiences of war. Victor lamented the losses suffered and the actions taken by both sides of the war. Wanting no further part in the Hylian army, but possessing few other skills than his battlefield experience, Victor became part of a travelling mercenary guild contracted to protect merchant shipments for the ever expanding Malo Mart. Victor also refused to just repeat his experience as a mere soldier on the battlefield; he began to study medicine, hoping that the knowledge would enrich him, maybe to help him take one further step to becoming the hero he dreamed of. Victor would go on to travel across Hyrule and distant lands as soldier, studying physician, and mercenary for the coming decades. Over this period, Victor saved numerous people, from merchants to villager to travelers; but each casualty suffered took its toll on him. He began to tire of dreaming of heroes and glory, finding that rupees, green or silver, were becoming the only things worthwhile to come out of his travels. The disappearance of the Hero of Twilight could only cement the dissipation of romantic ambition. Now that Queen Zelda is summoning heroes from all over, and rumors of a danger that threatens all of Hyrule looms over, Victor’s mercenary guild assigns him from the caravans of merchants back into the Hylian army. This time, Victor has more experience, more knowledge, more skills, and yet, mixed ambitions. He’s ready to seal his contract, but somehow he feels there’s something more, something familiar that’s driving him back into the battlefield. [/hider]
