Weapon of choice: Longsword, though he also carries a knife and sometimes a crossbow.

Armor of choice: He wears mostly leather armor for the sake of dexterity, sometimes donning an undercoat of chainmail if he is expecting a particularly difficult fight..

Strengths/Abilities: Drystan is very skilled in combat, especially proficient in swordplay. He is strong and agile, making him a very capable fighter. He has a lot of experience, having been a member of the royal guard previously.
He is a fast learner also, picking up skills rather quickly. He can especially pick up on people's personalities, often using this knowledge to get into their heads. He recently picked up a bit of basic alchemy. While he can learn the basics of a number of skills, he isn't as proficient at anything as he is at swordplay.
He is very confident and a little full of himself. Having so much experience, this makes him very courageous. He is never known to run away from a fight.
He is also very determined when he sets his mind on something. If he gets a job, he doesn't stop until it is done and done well.

Weaknesses/Hindrances: Drystan is constantly on edge, causing him to fly off the handle when pushed too far. This can cause him to be rather unpredictable.
He has a tendency to be rather abusive towards people close to him. This isn't always on purpose, either. Because of this, he doesn't tend to keep many close friends.
He can be reckless at times, as well. Often putting himself in situations where he puts himself or others in danger for no other reason than that he can.
He is materialistic and can be a bit possessive.

Personality: Drystan can be a bit cynical and dry. He doesn't have much compassion and is driven mainly by his selfish desires. He is a bit of an adrenaline junkie, often seeking fights just for thrill of it. He is somewhat sadistic, thoroughly enjoying hunting and killing criminals and monsters.

History: Drystan grew up in Sankt Gallen on the outskirts of Belvoir. He was a fighter from an early age, often picking fights with the other kids around town. He was a bit of a strange child, almost never crying but, instead, laughing when he got hurt. He was also a rule-breaker and a hell-raiser for his parents.

As he grew older, he began finding uses for his tendencies. He quickly started picking up odd jobs that involved any kind of fighting, sometimes slaughtering farm animals for nearby farmers. He joined up with a mercenary band when he was a teenager. With them, he traveled throughout the kingdoms until he landed in Rothenburg. He settled in here, taking a job as a city guard, often volunteering for patrols outside the city walls.

He moved up the ranks as an effective swordsman until he ended up in the royal guard. When the King and his advisers came up with the Hunter's Guild, he was one of the first to volunteer.
