Well this is taking longer than I thought so I'll post up what I have now...should hopefully have it done by the end of the day (my time) [hider=Icarus Candor] [h1][b][i][color=ff3333][center]Icarus Candor[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h1] [center][img]http://static.tumblr.com/211243ca506e360a35b918bf7a9f8462/xa4gzs1/AVrnjf992/tumblr_static_7vio9mip0vgo00s84csg84sc8.jpg[/img][/center] [h3][b][i][color=ff3333][center]Character Summary[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h3] [b][color=ff3333]Name:[/color][/b] Icarus Candor [b][color=ff3333]Aliases:[/color][/b] Phoenix Knight, Fire-born [b][color=ff3333]Titles:[/color][/b] Knight, Crusader [b][color=ff3333]Age:[/color][/b] 29 [b][color=ff3333]Place of Origin:[/color][/b] Erorth [b][color=ff3333]Gender:[/color][/b] Male [h3][b][i][color=ff3333][center]Physical Attributes[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h3] [b][color=ff3333]Build:[/color][/b] Strong, Muscular [b][color=ff3333]Eyes:[/color][/b] Ruby Red [b][color=ff3333]Hair:[/color][/b] Red/Blonde [b][color=ff3333]Skin Tone:[/color][/b] Slightly Tanned [b][color=ff3333]Tattoos/Scars/Piercings:[/color][/b] Symbol in the shape the Phoenix is burnt onto his back. [b][color=ff3333]Day To Day Attire:[/color][/b] Outside the realm of Combat, Icarus will still keep his Breastplate worn, however the rest of the armor is replaced with more casual and plain garments. A simple gray shirt underneath the chest piece and a fur vest layered over the top, with dull gray/brown leather pants that are best suited to travelling through various regions [b][color=ff3333]Strengths:[/color][/b] Strength, Endurance, Focused [b][color=ff3333]Weaknesses:[/color][/b] Stubborn/Tunnel Visioned, Maneuverability, Blunt/Rude [h3][b][i][color=ff3333][center]Psychological Attributes[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h3] [i][color=ff3333][center]Vengeful * Unyielding * Protector * Rash[/center][/color][/i] [b][color=ff3333]Sexuality:[/color][/b] Heterosexual [b][color=ff3333]Relationship Status:[/color][/b] Single [b][color=ff3333]Personality:[/color][/b] Due to both his blunt nature and lack of concern for social grace Icarus can come off as abrasive and aggressive upon first approach. Those that manage to stick around him though will find despite the rough outwards personality, Icarus can be someone that one would call a friend. His experience from his training have left him with a sense of justice and desire to protect those he deems as his comrades. While Icarus is by no means slow or dim-witted, his rashness can result in Icarus preferring simple, straightforward approaches to problems. Icarus is more than happy to cede the problem solving to those that are proven capable planners. Though one should be careful as Icarus can be rather vengeful and is more than happy to hold a grudge for extended periods of time if it turns out their plans result in serious danger to himself Icarus can maintain himself suitable in crowds or social situations when required by as a man of action he avoids this situations where possible. In the end, despite his rough edges those that manage to become his allies will have someone that would happily march to death’s door with them if the situation called for it [b][color=ff3333]Habits:[/color][/b] During the down time, Icarus will often find his hands drifting towards his sword or otherwise fidgeting with his blade. Cannot help but make his displeasure known when interacting with those he dislikes such as dark looks or dismissing shaking of his head [b][color=ff3333]Hobbies:[/color][/b] Icarus is also seeking to improve his swordsmanship. Additionally, he studies topics surrounding the nature of existence and life due to his connection of it. [b][color=ff3333]Fears:[/color][/b] Necromancy/Death Knights, Arctic Regions [b][color=ff3333]Likes:[/color][/b] Fire, Heat/Light, Combat, Competent Allies, Drinking, Blacksmithing [b][color=ff3333]Dislikes:[/color][/b] Cowards, Cold, Demons, Tricksters, Strict Social Conventions [h3][b][i][color=ff3333][center]Skills[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h3] [color=ff3333][i][center]A listing of skills, such as horseback riding or cooking.

Each character can spend 21 points & only two skills can be mastered.[/center][/i][/color] [list] [*] [b][color=ff3333]Weapons - Sword/Shield Style (Master):[/color][/b] Having trained with a Sword and Shield for most of his life, the fighting style provides Icarus the perfect mix of defense and offense as needed. The shield can just as easily become a weapon of blunt force as the sword can be used for defensive parries. [*] [b][color=ff3333]Weapons - Martial/Simple/Improvised (Apprentice):[/color][/b] During his years of training, it was required for Icarus to try out most weapons to find those that he was most suitable with. Though he prefers the Sword and Shield style, his training with other weapons has left him capable of at least wielding any when required [*] [b][color=ff3333]Regeneration (Journeymen):[/color][/b] Icarus’s heritage bestows him with the unique ability of regeneration to aid him in combat. Though the ability is incapable of replacing lost limbs and replenishing lost blood, it can slowly close wounds during the course of combat and allowing Icarus to fight on from what would be otherwise crippling wounds [*] [b][color=ff3333]Magic - Healing (Journeyman):[/color][/b] Icarus has a natural talent for Healing magic though due to his own regeneration he has never pursued it further. These magics are best suited for out of combat [*] [b][color=ff3333]Magic - Fire(Journeyman):[/color][/b] Icarus also has natural talent for Fire magic, though due to lack of formal training his skills are unrefined. Though he can conjure somewhat powerful spells, they struggle to focus on a single target and all most originate from his point of origin. [*] [b][color=ff3333]Awareness (Journeyman):[/color][/b] After years of combat and adventuring, Icarus has honed his ability to sense the natural surroundings, often allowing him to tell when something is amiss with a situation or there is a subtle change in the atmosphere. He is not skilled enough to tell why a change may have occurred, only enough to sense that there may have been one [*] [b][color=ff3333]Intimidation (Apprentice):[/color][/b] Due to his rough nature and imposing presence, Icarus can often appear Intimidating despite the lack of any ‘formal training’. This will normally only work on those that are faint of heart, more hardy individuals would often just see Icarus as a brute [/list] [h3][b][i][color=ff3333][center]Talents & Powers[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h3] [color=ff3333][i][center]A listing of unique powers, magic, artifacts, and techniques. A maximum of four only.[/center][/i][/color] [list] [*] [b][color=ff3333]Dragonwurm Blade:[/color][/b] An ancient blade from an Age long since lost to the ravages of time. It is said to have been forged in the blood of a great Red Dragon, its essence forever imbued into the blade. The blade itself is deceptively heavy for the size of the sword, its centre seeming to glow like the embers of a fire. As the vigor of combat grows, the blade itself seems to burn with excitement as well, cleaving through flesh and metal with ease as the length of the blade begins to burn. For those skilled in the use of Fire magic, it may also act as a conduit of power, slightly amplifying spells that are funnelled through it. Despite the eons of combat it has seen, it is as undamaged as the day it was forged. [*] [b][color=ff3333]Essence of the Phoenix:[/color][/b] The world of Siriande has born host to many ancient creatures, their physical forms long since having yielded to the passage of time. Despite the death of their bodies however, their essence has lingered in the world and often infuses itself to other creatures who still walk the earth. Such is how Icarus has the Blood of the long dead Phoenix within him. Through its blood Icarus has his natural talent for magic and regeneration and also has an immense well of endurance from which he can drawn upon giving him the appearance of immortality to the untrained eye in combat. However this well of power does have a limit and if emptied Icarus would lose many of his natural abilities [*] [b][color=ff3333]Wall of Steel:[/color][/b] Though Forged during the same age as the Dragonwurm Blade, the Shield wielded by Icarus is the lesser of the two items. Though rare, multiple instances of the item exist leading many to believe that the items were crafted together to outfit an order or small army. Despite this though the shield’s have proven to be incredibly resistant to damage, absorbing some of the force of vicious blows to protect the wielder.
