[hider=Abilities/Skills][b]Rage[/b] - A common ability possessed by all barbarians, its a forced trigger of the fight or flight mechanic that exists in every human, except there is no flight for him its fight and only FIGHT. this state causes a chain reaction in the body that increases Strength, stamina.
[b]Tough Skin[/b]Thanks to the constant exposure to icebaths and intensifying heat from sweat rooms Gideon is able to withstand intense weather conditions without much clothing or armor
[b]Scent[/b]The longer Gideon is around a person the the more time he has to capture the scent and able to track them with relative ease.[/hider]

[Hider=Artefact][b]Guise of The Undying[/b]
This Artefact is not a single item its a set of pieces that together form a cohesive Artefact. Each piece gives a different ability(s) but should they ever be seperated then the artefact will cease to function until reunited.
[b]Helm[/b]-Howl of the undying- This allows for Gideon to raise his voice to be heard several miles away like the howl of a wolf. This can also be used to inspire courage making them feel as though they can take on any foe.
They can however reject the inspiration.
[b]Cowl[/b]-Embraced by the Darkness- This allows Gideon (Only at night)To blend in perfectly with the darkness and allows him to see through it clear as day for 40ft.
[b]Grieves/Vambraces[/b]These allow Gideon to run faster and lift more than normal and even faster in [i][b]Rage-side effect of using any of these in rage will cause him to burn out and require a full 18hrs of sleep. he will become sluggish and start speaking nonsense.[/b][/i][/hider]


Brief history - Gideon was raised amongst a group of battle hardened  barbarians and was shown the ways of combat since he was able to hold a dagger. From that point on his life consisted of fighting, practicing, learning, training. the elders would attack him in the dead of night more often than not to be sure he was able to defend himself at a moments notice this processed until the ripe age of 13. At the age of 13 it was time for his proving his rite of passage into manhood if you will. It was simple you were shunned from the clan until you bought back a worthy kill.

 Gideon set out after being shunned and days later after braving the elements and the beasts he was after he returned with not one but 3 larger than average adult sized ebony wolves. And was welcomed almost immediately back into the fold being praised and ready to begin his next stage. to find a band of brothers or start his own.

Gideon Chose the latter of the two He loved and respected all the teachings of this Band but he felt a call there was something that called to him a force if you will. Gideon would heed this call and as a parting gift he was awarded the 3 blades and a set of armor fit for a warlord that was comprised of his first kill. a helm made of wolf skull, and the rest consisting of greaves and loincloth and a cloak made of Obsidian wolf fur.

Gideon became a wanderer of sorts and wandered for quite some time until he happened upon a small valley that he could use to rest, this was quickly disturbed as he awoke to the sight of a fairly hungry group of coyotes. It was already to late they had pounced on him, knocking away the 1st few the others got good licks in on him while he was trained to defend himself it never happened against 7 opponents at once, and one got a deep bite into his heel and another into his shoulder. Gideon stood ready to fight for his now presumed dinner, but As he stood it was made apparent how deep the bite was and this caused him to damn near buckle. (Enter the amazing Mirage) just as he dropped an arrow struck the ground. In moments the coyotes had passed out and he felt an arm around his waist and a smaller figure supporting him as he was walked to a nearby home. 

It was then that a duo was formed and quite inseparable, she nursed him back to health and he became the household muscle and the brawn in their duo. Truly Gideon felt that this was a bond that was necessary he was normally cautious but teaming up with Mia just felt...right. Winters came and went and the two only grew stronger in their teamwork and further strengthening their bonds.
