His armor looks worn and damaged, with numerous nicks and scratches all along the body and helmet. Beneath his armor, his looks are moderately handsome and dignified, if somewhat pale with ash blonde hair. His body, if seen bare has many scratches, marks, and muscular tone due to years of rigorous training, work, and questing.

[*]Swordsman: Reiner is extremely skillful in wielding any bladed weaponry from short swords, daggers to knives.

[*] Stubborn: Reiner is not keen on changing his mind in most situations where his opinion or decision counts. [/list] [b][color=a36209]Personality[/color]:[/b] Reiner is stoic for the most part, calm in most circumstances and simply unable to devote himself to anything outside of preparations to deal with Monsters, or Bandits after the ordeal he went through as a child. Because of this, he lacks the ability to understand certain social norms and doesn't notice the affections of those around him. His desire to Hunt stems from two places: the [i]helping[/i] aspect of preventing what happened to his village happening to others and to hone his skills that had been implanted into his mindset by his precarious upbringing. To this end, he has a single-minded devotion that has led to him being rigorous in hunting, leaving nothing to chance, and he pushes those under his care into being just as prepared to avoid suffering because of a mistake. He will not hesitate to put himself against odds that will all but ensure his death. [b][color=a36209]History[/color]:[/b]Reiner Degenhardt was once an ordinary boy in a small fishing village near Overresch. One day, his best friend left to work on a farm in Estramoz for a few days, and the two fought because he couldn't go with her. Later that night, his village was attacked by a large pack [i]hungry[/i] and angered monsters, of goblin origins and everyone he knew was taken from him. He hid in his house's basement, locked in there until nightfall. He snuck out of the house, seeing the [i]remains[/i] of those who fought back, and tracks of the rest either being dragged or carried away. Degenhardt was attacked by monsters who hadn't left yet. He was saved from [i]death[/i] by an unknown, armored traveller; Reiner spent 5 years under the wing of the traveller, being trained and raised by him, before parting ways. After parting ways with his mentor, Reiner took up the charge of travelling, and in part, hunting. He honed his craft, his skills of trade, that he was so graciously taught, and began roaming, wandering, around local villages in search of ways to assist. He would assist any village or group with good intentions, that required the enlistment of his services. Soon, his travelling became more focused on the genocidal aspect of hunting monsters, him being relentless with hunting down and finding dens, or nests, of Goblins, those who destroyed the life he once had, and greater, to prevent such hardships from befalling another, or as best as he can. He gained a reputation of his merciless killings of monsters, enough to catch the eye of the nobles of Rothenburg, being that there were prospects of less monsters in general to deal with, he received an invitation to the Hunter's Guild, which he gladly accepted to the fact of furthering his personal Crusade against monsters.
