[B]NAME[/B] – Marlowe Anders Bladeson (Vallis)
[B]AGE[/B] – 19
[B]ALIGNMENT[/B] – Hero
[B]APPEARANCE[/B] – Marlowe has shaggy dark brown hair, and it is obviously unkempt and not well maintained; in fact, Marlowe's hair is so dark, most believe it to be black. A good description of the color would be a "chocolate brown". Marlowe's eyes are slightly sunken in and for the most part, he keeps deep, purplish rings under his eyes, a mark of a complete lack of sleep. His nose is small, tipped slightly downward, and his nostrils do not flare much. His lips are thin, and a thin mustache and goatee surround his lip and cover his chin. Instead of being a proper goatee, it create more of a van dyke look; since his mustache and goatee do not connect.
His physical shape is slim; his arms are not extremely muscular. His chest and gut are relatively flat, though they lack tone. The main distinguishing feature of his torso are his bevy of scars covering his chest and back; signs of what seems to be a very radical surgery. For this reason, Marlowe keeps bare torso hidden from anyone he meets, for this is a sense of shame and disgust at his own person.
His legs are average length, and like his arms, slightly hairy. The hair on his chest grows in slight patches, since the surgery has caused scar tissue where hair still has not grown.
As far as clothing choices, Marlowe tends to trend away from armor, staying with a simple tunic shirt, slacks, jacket and cloak covering his torso. His usual colors are either a soft burgundy jacket and white tunic, or a simple white shirt. His slacks trend from a dark brown to a light khaki. For footwear, he keeps a pair of dark brown leather boots. He also wears a leather belt, and usually keeps a leather bandolier where he keeps his greatsword scabbard. 
[B]STYLE[/B] – Mainly a weapon fighter, but has some aura skills as well, as taught by Viera.
Zweinhander: Marlowe is slowly learning how to wield his huge blade, Hard Edge. As of now, his skill is amateur at best. However, he is able to channel energy through the blade
One Handed Blades: Marlowe has used a saber for the majority of his life. While most of his skill with the sword is self-taught; Marlowe spent much of his time with Otis and Kath learning proper sword techniques. 
Hand-to-Hand: Marlowe focuses on boxing and grabs in his fighting style, and has no proper martial arts training, beyond the aura arts that Viera has taught him. Because of that, his fighting style is brash, strong, but constantly open to dodges and counterattacks. 
[B]TECHNIQUES[/B] – Marlowe's fighting style depends on his weapons. With the Hard Edge, Marlowe is capable of causing massive damage with his swords, and is able to channel spiritual energy through his hand or blades. As of now, his skills are extremely novice, and Marlowe is constantly learning how to hone his abilities. 
[B]GM APPROVED ABILITY[/B]: Regeneration: 
Due to a horrific procedure done to Marlowe years ago, Marlowe, for all intents and purposes, cannot die. This does not mean his body is invincible; the opposite is true. He has stamina, pain thresholds, he feels pain and he can be physically and emotionally scarred. Marlowe is also the only person who can survive a Kirhas attack from an Orderling. It does knock him out completely though. 
[B]CHARACTER BALANCING[/B] – Marlowe's main weaknesses are focused less on his body and more on his psyche. Marlowe is easily pre-dispositioned to traumatic stress disorders, and struggles with loss, due to losing his family over his life. Marlowe's greatest physical weakness lies in that his body has no natural armor. His skin is easily cut, pierced, shot or maimed, and he still feels pain like a regular man. He can be knocked out by sheer pain, and his own regeneration causes him immense pain as well. His body also rejects painkillers and medicine, forcing him to suffer through sickness and pain. 
[B]PERSONALITY[/B] – Marlowe comes across as friendly, open, honest, kind, overly idealistic, foolish and brash. The perfect storm to cause problems with a group that has no qualms with murdering innocent people. In fact, it's Marlowe's personality that gets him in the most problem. His "charge and save everyone" approach, which never works, is how 90% of his fights begin, and they tend to end with him missing teeth, pints of blood and sometimes a few parts of his body. 
Marlowe also eats roughly 200% more than an average person, but that is less of an "idiotic hero trait" and due to the rapid metabolic rate his body undergoes due to his "body's enhancements". If given the chance, Marlowe would consume up to six meals a day. And he loves it. (He's never met food he didn't like)
[B]BACKSTORY[/B] – Marlowe Anders Bladeson was born poor, to a fisherman and a woman who ran away from her conman father. His childhood was fairly uneventful, until his father was lost at sea, his mother became sick and passed away, and custody transferred to his only living relation: his grandfather. Marlowe spent his childhood and teenage years as a cabin boy for his grandfather's airship, which doubled as a gambling house and dance hall. For most of his youth, he was surrounded by vice and greed, and his grandfather did not help him learn morality. Still, he dreamed of being a scholar instead of a gambler, and focused on his studies, trying to enter a prestigious magic academy.
Oddly enough, he was scouted by members of the academy, and was asked to be an laboratory assistant, on the grounds that he may receive preferred admission after assisting the scholars. Instead of assisting the experiment, he became the experiment. His body was cut open and used as an experiment for runic magic transmuted onto the human body. He survived the experiment, but the scars from the surgery never healed, yet other fresh wounds on his body healed in seconds. Seeing him as their first true success, the academy attempted to use Marlowe as a vessel for their God. After that, it's all a blur, as Marlowe's memories then shift to him washing ashore on Dun. Worse off, no one in the area knows of his own home. Or any cities he knows. Or any of his gods. 
[B]ORIGIN[/B] – Marlowe washed ashore near Dun and traveled around before meeting Kath, Otis and others; and it is there he met and fought the Order. Since then, he has been embroiled in combat with them, and has spent a whole year traveling the country of Derim to get stronger. His physical...abnormalities make him an interesting subject of the Order, at the very least. Or, he's a horrible thorn in their side. 
[B]OTHER[/B] – Before everyone thinks that Marlowe is OP, allow me to say this: my job is to make your characters look GOOD. That also means my ass is going to get the brunt of all the awful stuff, and I'll be setting up awesome stuff for you guys. Plus, Marlowe sucks as a fighter.

I'll do fancy editing and crap later. Boom. I smashed it out in like 20 minutes. My hands hurt.
