He has lightly tanned skin that has permanent traces of dirt packed in, which have gathered from his travels(he tries to wash as often as possible but his traveling makes it a rare luxury). He has bright blonde hair that he cuts short, along with his facial hair, and has blue eyes as dark as Sapphire. He has muscles but is quite thin, which makes his enemies underestimate him at times, since he lives on a lean diet. he's usually seen wearing banded armor with a cape that has the symbol of the order as well as leather boots and gloves. He always wears an amulet his father gave him under his current clothes. "Class": wandering knight Motivation: the death of his father made him realize how corrupt, and vile the world can be. So he decided to join the order so he could expose and fight evil, to prevent the kind of actions that lead to the death of his father, as well as to help the people of the kingdom in any way he can. He's fiercely loyal to the church and it's doctrine since it has given him everything he has and knows. History: He was adopted into the church by a priest at the age of 5. he was being raised and trained to be a priest within the church so he was to taught church doctrine, and dogma as well as how to read and write by his adopted father, father treavion. that changed when his father was killed by an assassin when he was the age of 12, and the local guards did nothing to investigate it. Once his father died he decided to join the order of St. David as knight to help people, and to fight evil wherever it lies. Strengths: literate: while training to be a priest he was taught to read and write Limited healing abilities: preaching is not a priests only duty, one of a priests secondary duties is to help sick, and injured people. Michael knows how to heal small to medium wounds Master swordsman: the order doesn't allow its members to use cheap tricks, and dirty fighting in combat so they give their members through training to make up for the lack of tactical choices in battle Weakness: Zealous: Michael is fiercely loyal to church doctrine, and is quick to tell someone if they do something considered blasphemous. If a person sides with some group that is deemed evil or does something that would make them untrustworthy he will disavow them. If the person does something evil enough he will challenge them to a dual Code of chivalry: due to the oath he took to join the order he is forbidden from using “dishonorable” forms of combat’ or using cheap tricks in combat Incapable of lying: due to his oath of his oath he's restricted from telling a lie, though he would count this as a strength, tactically it’s a big weakness. Although he is restricted from lying he’s not restricted from withholding the truth Despises magic: views magic as evil and dishonorable, with the exception of healing defense magic,. What is the most important thing to know about your character? He is loyal chiefly to the church if a side strays from the church's teachings he will not hesitate to leave and help the other side. What is your character's greatest flaw? He will keep true to his oaths even if it costs his life, wich it probably will be,. Why should your character be in a position to influence an entire country? Michael strives to be a paragon of virtue and righteousness and won't let the kingdom fall into the hands of evil as long as he draws breath. [hider=Writing example] Michael had been riding for hours he had seen nothing but road, trees, and the dust kicked up by his horse when suddenly a man came barreling down the road like a mad man. Michael Shouted, “you there stop, your going to spook my horse!”. Exhausted the man stopped and with a look of shock on his face he said “I've just been robbed… they took all the Money I had. I'm not going to be able feed my family for weeks” the man broke down. Dismounting his horse and handing the man all the money in his pocket and a water skin saying “here drink this and calm down, how many robbers were there?” “Six maybe seven why?”asked the man. “What a coincidence. There's a bandit group that I've been tracking down that's been causing trouble around here for months. Hey watch my horse for me.” Michael went off to go challenge the bandits. After 15 minutes of walking Michael spotted the bandits. Seeing that they set up a little ambush he decided to set it off. Walking into the trap the leader jumps out, but before he could say a word Michael says with a smile “I'm here to accept your surrender”. The rest of the bandits stepped out from there hiding spots, turns out it was six. “no we're here to accept your surrender along with all of your money.” “But I don't have any money.” “Well guess your no use to us alive then.” The bandits started to circle him until one of them decided to charge. Michael stood still, bracing for the charge until the last moment, then Michael lunged forward ducking under the blow and cutting the man's hand clean off. The bandits stood there shocked expecting their compatriot to take his head off. Taking advantage of their shock he charged the bandit next to the leader using his shield to knock him down, then swiftly getting behind the leader putting his sword to his neck and placing his foot on the bandits neck who he knocked down. “I'm here to accept your surrender” [/hider] [/hider]
