Childhood: Born into the ever warring region of the Iron River, Icarus was born to into a simply blacksmithing family. Due to the use of a blacksmith in a time of conflict, his family did not suffer from poverty though it was not a rich life. Expected to take up after his father, his early years were spent watching his father and when able beginning to lend a hand and gain an understanding of the craft. Such a simple life was not to be for Icarus however, as the war-front eventually moved to consume his village. Its defenders overrun, the townsfolk were conscripted to various tasks; His father forced into constructed more weapons and armor for the army while the rest of his family was pushed into manual labour, digging through ancient ruins and unearthing strange objects
Due to the past events of Siriande, powerful magically artifacts lay hidden beneath the surface. The army that had conscripted Icarus’s family into their labour force was keen to find these artifacts and use them to gain an edge against their enemy. After working as a slave for many years, Icarus would eventually stumble upon an Artifact his captors so badly sought. In an Ancient shrine dedicated to fire and all manner of creatures born for it, Icarus would find the lingering essence of the Phoenix. While Icarus’s own memories of the events that followed afterwards are scattered, in the ensuing chaos and destruction he was able to escape with his mother and a number of other slaves, travelling north to the Katu region.
Adulthood: After eventually settling into a new life, Icarus still desired to know what had become of the rest of his family. Drawn towards both the idea of becoming a Knight and seeing it as a method to track down his family, he began to seek out a way to become one. Thanks to the unnatural abilities he had gained, he was able to prove himself as a capable squire and in turn a capable Knight. Through the years he trained he studied both his body and his mind, seeking to understand more of the abilities he had only began to uncover. Once he had finished his training, he turned his attention back to the war-torn region of the south. In the years that he had been gone the south as he knew it had changed as well. With few leads to follow, he began to search for his family, seeking to learn either their whereabouts or their fate.
Special Moments: While training in the Katu region, political unrest erupted into what would become know as the ‘Katu Rebellion’. Though the full extent of the politics were lost on Icarus, he knew that there was a strong chance he would be drawn into this fight similar to his childhood if he avoided it and instead through his lot in with the side he saw more in-common with. Over the following months he proved himself as formidable foe in battle, able to wage into the thickest of combat and emerged alive and at times seemingly uninjured. Though the war was eventually settled via a peace treaty between the two sides, tales of individuals like Icarus and other skilled individuals who had participated spread through the lands
During his later travels, Icarus had encountered a group which would refer to themselves as the ‘Black Grail Knights’. This group of unholy individuals comprised of Demons, Necromancers, Undead Abomination and Death Knights had heard the tales that had spread after the ‘Katu Rebellion’ and gained a strong interest in Icarus. Hounding him over the course of the next few weeks, Icarus would come to know that they sought out secrets related to immortality and regarded his connection to the Phoenix as one such secret, and that they would take any measure necessary to find out how it worked. Though he has been able to escape them so far, they continue to hunt him and have become a strong source of fear
Current Events: Icarus had been following up on a potential lead as to the where-abouts of his family. Resting at an Inn as he prepared for the travels the next morning, he awakes to find himself in a very unfamiliar setting.

Skills
A listing of skills, such as horseback riding or cooking. Levels include novice (1 pt), apprentice (2 pt), journeyman (3 pt), expert (4 pt), master (5 pt). Each character can spend 21 points & only two skills can be mastered.
- Weapons - Sword/Shield Style (Master): 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.
- Weapons - Martial/Simple/Improvised (Apprentice): 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
- Survivalist (Journeymen): After spending years travelling across his world, Icarus has had the time to refine the set of skills for surviving out in the wild. In general Icarus is able to find a suitable resting spot where available when out in the wild and is capable of foraging for food in the environments where it is available.
- Magic - Healing (Journeyman): 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
- Magic - Fire(Journeyman): 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.
- Awareness (Journeyman): 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
- Intimidation (Apprentice): 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
Talents & Powers
A listing of unique powers, magic, artifacts, and techniques. A maximum of four only.
- Dragonwurm Blade: 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.
- Essence of the Phoenix: 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 through various means and will 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
- Regeneration: Linked to the Essence of the Phoenix, Icarus’s heritage bestows him with the unique ability of regeneration. Though the ability is incapable of replacing lost limbs or replenishing fatigue that occurs from the loss of blood, it can easily close small wounds, knit together broken bones during the course of combat and allowing Icarus to fight on from what would be otherwise crippling wounds.
- Wall of Steel: 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.
