Common skills: 
	- Basic cooking : boiling, roasting, baking... 
	- Basic cleaning : fabrics, houses, blades...not bows. 
	- Construction : lean-to, tent, basic irrigation and farming, huts. 
	- Reading : Imperial, Elven, Orc 

Fighting skills: 
	- Swords 
		Estocs - Fighting with an estoc requires some fine motor skill, unlike the falchion. Users are trained to penetrate otherwise thicker armor by running opponents through in key vitals within a short range. Unarmored opponents get the privilege of getting hacked into pieces by the side of the blade. 
		Zweihander - Similar to an estoc, but it should be duly noted that the user in question may be very well overcompensating for self-esteem, whatnot with its ludicrously heavier weight and increased length. Hacking and chopping is a viable option, given the force generated from such a weapon. It should be duly noted that Zweihanders are agoraphilic. 

Magical skills: 
	- Elemental 
		- Light 
			- Blind - Focuses the energy from a stone into a concentrated ray; temporarily blinds opponents for a turn, or if done repeatedly in quick succession, may damage eyesight for a longer period of time. 
			- Refraction - Focuses incoming photons into the stone, rendering the user invisible except for a shining spot where the light is focused. Can only be done briefly. 

Languages: 
	Imperial 

Personality: 
	Esther is quite the plain man, despite his descent from a military family.  Because of his sore lack of knowledge, he has little input to most conversations other than the most basic questions.  He's punctual and diligent, at least.  For the opponents that would stand against the Empire, that may be something to fear or exploit on the battlefield.

Bio: 
	Like his forefathers, Esther was born into indentured servitude thanks to his ancestor's accrued debt, and so spent his life farming to pay off. Only, by the time he was 17, he was relieved of the debt. During this period, he often switched between managing the lands and keeping the house for his lord. In the latter times, he'd also spar with the lord using a stick. To pay for his younger sister's tuition at one of the Empire's military academies, Esther opted to sell the farm and everything in it. His residing lord happily bought off the land by contract, and so Esther went off to the cities to pay. While waiting in line, he noticed a few fliers that asked for more volunteers to travel to the new continent. Esther, cognizant of his own strength, did the only logical thing left : join. With what little money he had left, Esther took some tips on using a stone, and finalized his intent with a few months of conditioning and a month of training. And that was that. No letter to the sister, no warning beforehand, nothing.
	The succession of the Dietrich name was her responsibility, after all.

Equipment: 
	- Tunic, trousers, socks, shoes...clothing in general. 
	- Estoc 
	- Bedroll pack 
	- Hatchet 
	- Brightstone - A crystal specially designed to focus energy into light magic.

Reasoning : 
	Who the hell would want to be tied to a patch of dirt for their entire lives in a place far too crowded with people of all kinds? There's plenty of acres to claim in the other continent, and the surplus money could always go to his sister...[/hider]
