[b]Race:[/b] Beorc
[b]Birthplace:[/b] Estala
[b]Appearance Description:[/b]
Gaivred could best be described as a bear of a man, big and fuzzy. Standing at about five foot ten inches and roughly two hundred sixty pounds. Thick muscle hidden beneath a layer of padding and very sun darkened. Hidden beneath the helm is a head of jet black hair a little on the long side and tousled more often than not. His eyes, resting under those thick black eyebrows, are sunken like caves. They brown colored with odd gold 'flakes' mixed in at the right light. His nose, which is broad, is a little crooked from repeated breakings. A strong jaw accentuates some of his masculine facial features. His mouth is a little wide and on the thinner side of average.

[b]Personality:[/b]
Gaivred is blunt, just so incredibly blunt. Meaning he doesn't deal with flowery language or beating around the bush. There isn't a subtle bone in Gaivred's body, and sometimes that causes trouble. Then again he's completely oblivious about it which mitigates some of that trouble. Which is why he learned early on in life to just shut up. Of course that doesn't always work since he has quite the temper. Another cause for trouble in his life since it seems to be so easily triggered. Part of the reason he was nicknamed Bear honestly.

Aside from those little faults he's a nice enough guy. Tends to follow the way knights are supposed to walk. Honorable, loyal, and chivalrous. Although while he follows their way he's not unthinking, he doesn't do what he's told to if it sounds fishy. He'll act like he does until he finds out what is what and has always done so since he was a young lad. Another thing that gets him in trouble it seems. He does not having the best of luck but his capabilities tend to outweigh his troublesome nature.

[b]Biography:[/b]
Gaivred has always had knightly qualities about him. Well the storybook ones anyway, the whole chivalry code that had been written down. Unfortunately as he got older he saw that knights didn't seem to abide by this code,. They were human after all and humans could be corrupted. It was during a small campaign that the incident happened that turned him into what he is today. A wanderer with a heavy chip on his shoulder for the nobility.

It was the night after a good battle, loses were low and the enemy sent running. The other knights and soldiers were merrymaking. But Gaivred's sober ears caught something that didn't fit the celebrations. Muffled screams coming from the floor above. So off the young knight went to investigate the sounds of distress, his heavy axe at his side. Locating the room he had heard the sounds from he quietly opened it. It was a well maintained door so there was nary a squeak, not that it'd be heard by the party going on down below.

It took his eyes a moment to register what was going on. But he flew into a rage when it finally registered. Entering the room he slammed the flat of his axe into the man performing such a vile act on an unwilling partner. The force was strong enough that the man hit the wall several feet away. Only to reveal Gaivred's superior officer, a rather high standing noble. That was the only thing that stayed his hand from sending the edge of that steel axe into his face. Turning his attention from the dazed officer he helped the poor girl.

Unfortunately the act, while good, had consequences. His superior officer was just given a warning and stern talking to. But otherwise nothing was done for the act. Gaivred however was stripped of his rank, removed from his post, and exiled to keep him quiet and out of the way. He hadn't done enough damage to warrant an execution, just wounded the mans pride. Gathering his things, he didn't have much really, he left with a more keen eye to the wrongdoing of those in power.

Gaivred started traveling the world at this point. Upholding the chivalrous order knights were supposed to be doing. Not this shadow that they tended to do, doing what they could to gain and not give.

[b]Other:[/b] His mannerisms are quite odd, almost the opposite of what everyone else does. If he's looking off to the side, as if looking for something in the distance, you have his complete attention. If he looks like he's watching you with his undivided attention his brain is elsewhere thinking of 'more important' things.

His horse, since he's still classed as a knight, is a mare of the Morgan breed. A good and sturdy horse that he raised himself.[/hider]
