How's this? [hider= Lance] Full name: Lance D'Phiarlin Age: 34 Height: 6'3 Skills: Lance is a master Tactician and fighter. Keenly aware of his surroundings he is able to get an advantage almost anywhere on the battlefield. Not only this, but he is incredibly social, and is able to talk to others easily. That doesn't mean he's great at it however. Appearance:[img]http://i.imgur.com/Dh9wihx.png[/img] (Pretend he's a human, couldn't find a good human picture.) Usually wearing a tunic, Lance blends into the crowd, but when it's time for battle, Lance wears scalemail covered by a central breastplate. His weapon of choice ironically enough is a lance, yet he is trained with most other weapons. Equipment: His armor, his lance, as well as a sword and shield. He also keeps a dagger in his boot. He has a pack full of other generic traveling stuff. Like food.(Think jerky, and dried fruit.) And water. And flint. Religious beliefs: Lance believes in a strong sword arm rather than some so-called god. But if forced to choose, he likely would follow manduism Personality: Lance tries to be a nice guy, although he can be a little agressive. History: Lance comes from the country of Ebberon, located to the far west. Born to a pair of army generals, Lance had little choice but to be raised as a soldier. He had an iron will and a strong arm at an early age, and only continued to improve, even to the point of surpassing his parents. When Ebberon went to war with a neighboring country, Kyber. Lance was chosen as an ambassador, and was able to easily convince the king to stop fighting. Unfortunately, shortly after, the king was assassinated and Kyber went to war with Ebberon. Lance was chosen to be one of five leaders in charge of the main bulk of Ebberon's army. Here is where Lance found his innate knack for tactics, defeating Skrimish after skrimish, they had easily captured the main city of Kyber. Once the county was no longer at war, Lance was at a bit of a loss as to what to do. Planning was his specialty, yet he had no plan of action. He soon left bis homeland in search of some sort of purpose. He traveled for almost three years before deciding to become a knight. He was one once before, why not do it again? It was all he knew how to do. Of course, it wasn't that easy. You needed someone to sponsor you after all. Fortunately, there was an easy solution to this. Making friends with a knight named Blatzy, he then showed off his skills. Blatzy knew Lance was an experienced soldier, and sponsored him. Then was the trial. He needed knowledge on the Abbdi, as then the fighting part. Lance had somewhat of an idea of what they were, but didn't have a lot of knowledge. So, Lance spent the next month tirelessly studying them. How to fight them. How to kill them. What they can do. What they're weak to. All this and more was absorbed by Lance, and demonstrated his knowledge to Blatzy. Then the fighting part. Easy. Lance formulated a plan with the entire group. Recognizing everybody's skills and weaknesses. Utilizing blind spots, distractions, and range, the "Abbdi" was easily taken care of. Lance then waited for the ceremony. [/hider]
