Alright first character application for a long while, and I'm sorry if it's derpy as all hell. Also excuse my cussing it just makes more sense than accurately trying to describe certian things he does. Yes I'm lazy. If there are any edits that need to be made or you want more clarifcation then please do not hesitate to ask, I will answer to the best of my abilities. Thank you :D [hider=Kaito Calderon.] [img]http://i.imgur.com/99OPioC.jpg[/img] [b]Name:[/b] Kaito Calderon. [b]Titles:[/b]Lord Calderon, The Crow, The Monster. [b]Age:[/b] Estimated to be 400-500 years old. [b]Height:[/b]6'3 from foot to crown. [b]Weight:[/b]165Lbs [b]Race:[/b]Halfling. Half-Mahjarrat and Half-Elf. [b][u]Weapons and Equipment:[/u][/b] Kaito's armaments consist of a long 7ft spear named Aegis. The blade of the spear is razor sharp and makes up 2ft of the weapon. The shaft is 5ft long and made of a composite elemental metal that acts as a conductor rod for his magics, amplifying his power. A foot long cross guard sits at the base of the blade, making it more a short-sword on a long stick. His clothing consists of black battle robes, with only light armour covering his vitals. The armour is made of steel, expertly curved to deflect attacks and inlaid with brass to make it more resistant to force. The robes themselves are made partially of leather so a basic layer of armour also protects his skin. Along a belt he wears are a few pouches contain varying goods. Some contain liquor in metal flasks, whilst others contain poisons. At the back of the belt sits a small dagger pouch, which he utilizes to throw an opponant off guard before he closes the gap with Aegis. [b][u]Abilites and Skills.[/u][/b] His fighting style is unique, an almost graceful blend of magics and what would be equvalent to Qui-Gong Wushu, or Chinese Spear fighting. By spinning the larger weapon as if it was smaller, it can make prediciting an attack very tricky, since the blade is almost in constant motion and usually used to distract from his gathering of anima to cast his spells. Being a Mahjarrat (See triva for greater race details and abilites) he has some mastery over the arts of runeless casting, essentially drawing the power from within. His gloves which appear to be directly melted onto his skin also flow with power thus acting the same as Aegis. The gloves also have a sneaky trick, in that they are bound to Kaito and cannot be removed unless killed. Being an Elf he is naturally gifted with a superior athletic ability thus making him fast and strong, whilst being able to dodge most attacks, provdided that he isn't clumsy or over-confident in a battle. He will utilize his environment for sneak attacks and will often manipulate the shadows to conceal his location from unsuspecting foes, thus making him incredibily dangerous should they be fighting in a darkened arena. His long ears grant him advanced hearing allowing him to hear attacks from behind, although this can be used against him, should one choose to do so. [b][u]Personality:[/u][/b] Kaito is a dick. This is just plain and simple. He lives almost in comtempt of other living creatures and will often appear bored, or as if talking to another living creature is some kind of profound punishment sent down from some unknown enitiy. He thrives for power and will often crush those who stand in his way to achieve this power. However, once he gets into battle its almost as if he becomes insane, a grin will often fixate his face under his masked helmet. There have even been reports of him laughing insanely as he hacked at one of his foes. [b][u]Background:[/u][/b] Not much is known about Kaito's past apart from what he tells people. Born to a pair of peasant parents in a decent sized town he was working from the age of 12 as a hunter. He claims to not remember his early life, or his father being around much. By the age of 19 he was working for a group of freelancers aptly nicknamed The Crows. He took one of his aliases from this group as they taught him how to fight with larger and longer weapons. His life from age 19 to age 200 was a blur to him, seemingly lost in ale fumes and womens breasts. By his 300th year he began to grow bored and went in search of another adventure, ending up at a rather aptly named Academy of Heroes. He figured being called a hero would earn him a few free drinks, possibly the key to some ladies bedchambers. After spending a few years there he grew bored yet again and left without a word, opting to spend a few hundred years terroising bandits thoughout the lush countryside. He had found one of their pits in the mountains and took it over for himself, his old uniform stained red from the blood it had drank. By the time he was 400, he had heard of a man named Tommen Calderon, whom was seeking bold mercanaries to aid him with some problems. Naturally Kaito was fond of some gold and strode off in search of this wayward lord. After doing a few odd jobs for Tommen, a few killings and the like, Tommen decided to blood Kaito into his family, casting away his old name, and gifting him the new name of Calderon. Kaito's first job was to act as hand for Tommen, as he became the Steward of the capitol city in which they had lived. After a few more years of Stewardship, Kaito and his new found family had settled into a large castle, taken from some genocidal maniacs. It was here Kaito was named Hand of the King, a role he still serves to this day. Not much is known as to what caused him to discover what was often called 'The Dream' but he embraced this new found power with gusto. Around the time of his (for want of a better term) 'Awakening' there was a civil war brewing within another noble house. Kaito sought to head this off before it began and met the head of the house on a giant continent of ice. A battle ensued and in an attempt to kill his foe, Kaito planted Aegis into the firm ice below, and cracked the great contient asunder, which prompted the hand of another to speak to him. No-one seems to know where he has gone to now, some suspect he has gone to a warmer place.

These are well worth a read to better understand what and who this mysterious race is. http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Mahjarrat http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Moia [/hider] [/hider]
