His mother both the abused and an abuser, showing to him only weakness when he needed anything, but, and the women of his life serving similar roles, one might say that Vasarius was [i]fated[/i] to be isolated. Now a wandering Hunter of beasts, be they men, mer, or true monsters, Vasarius has been through far more than a rough upbringing--not to mention an unfortunate chain of romances, each ending in their own tragedy. Having gained quite the reputation in Olias and lands beyond, Vasarius is something of a figure of infamy, standing above common [i]Hunters[/i] as example to what a man can achieve when truly driven. However, much to the chagrin of more noble souls, Vasarius is not exactly the image of honor and valor, but instead is a crass, ill-spirited man with a grudge against the world, and a distrust of practically anything and everything with a modicum of sentience.

However, despite his personality, Vasarius is rather intimidating, with his dark clad armor, one remaining eye, and stature of six(6) feet and five(5) inches. While his key talents are a mixture of a keen memory and strong resilient body, Vasarius has nonetheless dipped his hand into the art of magic. However, much to the chagrin of those mages who know of him, the hunter has twisted it to his ends, perverting it from an art and turning it into a mere instrument to be played for his benefit. Through this it is revealed that Vasarius' Sway is quite considerable, covering a maximum of 10 meters in a sphere around his person. However, his true strength comes from his Élan, which has taken most of his Sway due to his continued use of Augmentation magic on his physical form. As a result his body is suffused with mana even when at rest, mana which he can influence on an instinctual level to impart himself with greatly enhanced physical capabilities.

While his ranged magical capabilities could not be said to be higher than the 3rd Order(Tier), his ability to physically augment his own person, objects--given time--and even others could be said to be at least of the 5th Order(Tier). Perhaps second most notable of his talents is his ability to work spells [i]inside[/i] of things within his radius, though the effect is far stronger when imparted via physical contact. In essence, this ability allows him to enchant objects by altering them on a surface level. While he does not do so often, the Hunter is just as capable of altering things at their root, so as to permanently change their nature.

[u][b]Equipment:[/b][/u] Carrying only what he must, Vasarius often wears his signature armor, though not with his helm donned oft times. This armor has been influenced by the Hunter's magical talents, making it far more durable than it ought to be as well as quite flexible, doing little to restrict his range of movement. However, as a result of his tampering with the core structure of the metal it has become heavier, gaining mass due to the mana that has solidified within it, becoming an essential part of its make-up. Nonetheless, due mostly to his physical prowess, Vasarius more often than not shrugs off the weight of his armor, moving almost as if unimpeded.

Aside from his armor, Vasarius carries a fair amount of miscellaneous ingredients, which he uses for poisons or to damage more [i]complicated[/i] beings such as demons and fae. Additionally he possesses a horse which carries implements for travel and sustenance as well as the occasional trophy. It should be noted that despite his relative infamy, Vasarius is not wealthy by any stretch of the imagination, as he has the tendency of spending his coin on brief escapades, gambling, or drink in alternating order. The rest goes towards the upkeep of his equipment most times.

Last and perhaps most notable of his belongings is his [url=http://i.imgur.com/XSfCgRW.jpg]spear[/url], which is his Implement. The item holds its own [url=http://www.whats-your-sign.com/celtic-symbols-tuatha-de-danann.html]symbolic meaning[/url], initially leading people to believe that Vasarius is entirely single-minded in nature. However, when it is revealed that the spear is composed of mana-infused metal as well as some technology straight from Vaemia, its symbolic meaning becomes somewhat more muddled. Regardless, the weapon's abilities are relatively simple. It cuts and it pierces, but not just flesh as the weapon can shear through mana as well, parting it along the path of its movement and pulling it inwards as it passes. The weapon is durable, infused repeatedly with mana over years of continuous usage, and taken care of quite regularly by its owner. The weapon, as his implement, strengthens his workings of magic in the realms of the physical world. Conversely its mechanical components reveal a complexity to these actions, thus subverting the spear's general meaning of directness, allowing for more complex and nuanced workings to be achieved with its use. Last among its notable properties is the spear's ability to retract into just its handle, though the bladed segments remain visible. Vasarius calls the weapon Dhaerym.
