[b]Human Name:[/b] Aelwin “Al” Lelland

[b]Title:[/b] The Ant of Diligence

[b]Sex:[/b] Male

[b]Age:[/b] 28

[b]Occupation:[/b] Head Guard

[b]Personality:[/b] Extremely hard-working (obviously) as well as ambitious, Aelwin is stubborn enough to reach any goal he sets to himself. His focus tends to be single-minded and his belief that the ends justify the means may very well leave some unpredicted consequences in his wake. Aelwin prefers to work under some sort of a superior or at least alongside a trusted companion, because those are the only type of people who can stop him from making regretful mistakes on his path to success. Al can be surprisingly charismatic, inspiring people (especially if they’re already somewhat like-minded) to put in their share of work, and do so eagerly. Lassitude in both himself in others is certainly a pet-peeve, to the point where it isn’t uncommon that Aelwin overworks himself, which leads to stress induced headaches more than he would like. If he has any subordinates, he is willing to cut them some slack, especially if they prove to produce the desired results, however Al will gladly bear down on an underperformer with strict harshness.

[b]Appearance:[/b] Standing at 5’11, Aelwin is fairly muscular, though more to the side of compactly sinewy rather than outright brawny. He has a tanned skin tone and short dark blonde to light brown hair and is trying to grow out a decent beard. His eyes are such a light hazel that they seem almost eerily like amber. Al prefers to wear darker coloured cloth and leather materials, though due to his occupation, he also adds on a hauberk, a York type helmet, and his sword and shield, of course. Though even off-duty, he would at least keep his sword in its usual place on his belt, for personal safety.

[b]Fighting Skills:[/b] He’s well versed in using the traditional longsword and shield combination, mixing in the occasional kick, punch, or throw when necessary. As a combatant, he can and will either disable or kill opponents swiftly and efficiently, to the point where some might call him a killing machine, though his allies tend to appreciate his skill and dedication. He’s comfortable fighting even when mounted on a horse, and can perform acceptably enough with a bow.

[b]Special Ability:[/b] [i]Toxikinesis.[/i] Aelwin can generate various poisons (including drugs, both medical and recreational) from his body, most typically by transforming his blood, breath, or saliva into a toxin or venom. If he has an idea of what the effect(s) of the poison should be, he can create it, even if he doesn’t understand its properties as a scholar might. He’s definitely immune to his own creations, but any naturally occurring or man-produced poisons are not necessarily as harmless – his body does automatically try to neutralize them and eventually builds up resistance, but nonetheless, if a quickly working lethal toxin were introduced to his body (especially if he were asleep or otherwise compromised), he would have to consciously dedicate all his mental and physical resources (entering a somewhat meditative trance, if you will) if he had any wish to counter it successfully. Another benefit from this power is that he can always reverse the effect of his own poisons on the victims he subjected to them if he acts swiftly enough. He could do the same even with a poison from some other source (that is, not one of ‘his’) if he were familiar enough with it.

[b]Backstory:[/b] Not needed initially, however appreciated later on so interesting stories can come up. You don’t need to deliver it right off the bat but be sure have this up later on.
