Name:
Leos Bartolomej



Appearance:
Amongst his people, Leos is an abomination. His abnormal growth and muscle mass has corrupted the standard long, slender frame of the Aleani, into a hulking giant of 6'4", with an astonishing weight of 250 lbs exactly. His monstrous body is wrapped in soft, earthy toned skin, like brown autumn leaves during fall. Coincidentally, there is further similarity between Leos and leaves present within the linear patterns in his skin and the veins in a leaf. These lines form intricate designs that cover his entire body, converging at a single point to form a Strange Symbol on the back of his neck. Though you would never know it, for the symbol is always obscured by dreaded locks of brown hair, which fall just passed his shoulder blades. His face has long since been a victim plagued by these obstructions. Often, stray, rampaging lochs will seek to interrupt the world seen through Leos' deep brown eyes, which discern that he has seen much more than his youthful features let on. This fact is reassured after hearing his voice that is filled with the certainty of knowingness from experiences pass.

Age:
26

Gender:
Male

Class:
Tribesmen

Personality:
On the surface, Leos comes off as a rather silly and lighthearted person, frequently engaging in comical behavior and retaining his oft-present grin even while making threats. He displays a childlike amusement for new situations whether or not they prove adverse or even potentially fatal, he has a penchant for wandering off on his own. Even with all these idiosyncrasies, Leos is extremely personable and has a particularly complimentary nature that easily gains him the friendship and trust of those surrounding him.

Of course, these aspects hide the complex and determined young man underneath. On the reverse side of his frivolous nature is his considerable shrewdness, which makes him quite capable of reading people and situations. He is particularly observant, taking into consideration even the smallest details of his surroundings in order to better understand and deal with challenges and is not above using cheap tricks or questionable tactics to ensure his own survival. Being singularly ambitious, Leos also has a remarkably tenacious will that allows him to overcome virtually insurmountable obstacles and accept inhuman burdens for the sake of his own ultimate goal. Lee has a considerable pride that will not stand for having his humanity insulted or condemned by his enemies, but Leos is also capable of shelving his pride if it becomes something that will stand in the way of his objective.

Leos is very protective of family and comrades, refusing to allow any harm to come to them and often deem their safety more important than his own in spite of his own personal ambitions and goals. Leos has to be reminded several times that his own safety is something upon which many people depend and he uses his loved ones as hid primary motivation when all hope seems lost. As such, he becomes furious when observing those who willingly or remorselessly cast aside their own comrades or brethren and is sickened by the idea of superiors who reject their duty to those who trust them.

Backstory:
Leos was born outside the walls of Arx, into the Aleani tribe. The Aleani is a warrior-nomad tribe, moving from place to place, and fighting any beast they may come upon. The Aleani have lived like this since the time of the Watchers, and although they have had hard times, they have flourished and grown since then. Being a warrior tribe, they pride themselves in fighting the beasts of the wild, and dieing fighting one is considered and honor, although it is not rare for a relative to vow revenge and hunt it for doing so. The Aleani seem to have a grudge against dragons, and killing one can instantly give one the title of chief or fame.

Leos being and Aleani, has been fighting beasts since age of ten with the other warriors. His experience in the wild could be said to be second to none in his whole tribe. He has encountered dragons, and lived to tell the tale. Despite all the expertise, experience and fame he has gained, life has always be difficult. Leos was the son of the Chief. His father unwittingly chose his brother to be his advisor and envoy, and out of jealousy, he usurped his father from the throne by challenging him to a Hunt (a ritual were two warrior hunt a beast of the challengers choosing) in which Leos' father mysteriously died during. Being the envoy, Leos' uncle to the throne, due to Leos no being of age, and Leos' family was throne out of the royal hut.

Leos vowed to restore his families honor, and since then has fought beast after beast, all in a vain attempt to bring back the little bit of pride he lost in his father.

Skills and Divine Abilities:
Fangs of the Chimera/Gaia Defenders

Twin, one-sided short swords named Gaia Defenders has been a heirloom passed down from generation to generation. Leos was given this blade before his father left for the Hunt. True to is name, not once have the blades ever failed him in combat, being the same blade that slayed a Chimera. It is capable of piercing the hides of many of the Wilds beasts. Leos still uses these blades as his primary weapon. Their name coincides with his occupation, making them very befitting for his ownership. At all times they are firmly placed in a custom sheath: one is located on the left side of his back while the other is strapped to his right hip.

Scales of the Chimera
A necklace that was attained during the fight with the beast that was also passed down. This to toughens the skin of the upper body to the point that it can withstand the blows of a one-handed blade. It can be likened to a weaker a form of Dragon Scale armor.

Mark of the Ronen (Normal Skill)
This is want the Aleani call thier strongest and most skilled swordsman's, and Leos is no exception. Training and fighting beasts and warriors alike since the age of 10 has given him plenty of time to master his sword skill.

Mark of Dragonfly(Normal Skill)
Aleani must be quick and agile in order to fight many of the beasts in with Wild. Despite his hulking figure, those who underestimate him are sorely mistaken. Leos is nimble and quick on his feat, and his reflexes are just as excellent.

Mark of the Gorilla(Normal Skill)
Being as tall and muscular as he his brings benefits, allowing him to wrestle many beasts of the Wild, even allowing him to hold his own against beast twice hold size without a weapon, beating it is another story.

Bilingual
Being a nomad tribe, they have been all over. The Aleani are capable of speaking many languages besides thier own by taking the time to learn it.

Equipment:
-Gaia Defenders
-Dragon Scale armor protecting the torso and vambraces
-Scales of the Chimera
-Gurkha Blade: This is a curved knife, similar to the machete, used as both a tool and as a weapon. It is symbolic amongst the Aleani when used as a weapon, signifying the courage and valor of the bearer in the battlefield. The blade's distinctive forward drop is intended to aid the cutting action by having the edge maintain an angle (rather like a guillotine) rather than just have a straight edge at right angles to the target, this angle provides a more "slicing" action similar to a draw-cut with a machete or saber. The Gurkha Blade is effective as both a chopping and a slashing weapon. In combat, it is used in two different styles: stabbing with the point, slashing or chopping with the edge. Because the blade bends towards the opponent, the user need not angle the wrist, which makes the Gurkha Blade more comfortable as a stabbing weapon than other straight-bladed knives. Its heavy blade enables the user to inflict deep wounds and to cut through muscle and bone. As a tool, its use has varied from building, clearing, chopping firewood, and digging to cutting meat and vegetables, skinning animals, and opening tins.
