He has an athletic slim physique, light by centaur standards but regardless powerful. His wild appearance is accompanied with a severe face, goatee and fu manchu style mustache. While average by centaur standards Iolaos is still considered somewhat towering to most races, approaching 7 feet. [h3][b]Background:[/b][/h3]Raised in the country to a low ranking family, Iolaos had little option aside from continuing in the footsteps of his shaman forebears. Sidestepping that he instead choose to enlist in the Yllendyr military. Initially thinking his magic potential would allow him to soar through the ranks but soon realized that shamans are an exception rather than the rule. Looking down on his ancestral art, Iolaos was forced to impress the superiors by other means. His intense drive soon earned him the top spot in his class and while officer training was out of question he went to enlist on further training to become a pathfinder. Careerist and eager to prove his worth, Iolaos was ready to test his strength on the battlefield. In spite of that he became a member of Squad 6, a place where the Imperium preferred to dump the dregs of his military. Determined as ever, Iolaos is now focusing his efforts to be reassigned to a more deserving place. Unfortunately he's right in the middle of war and caught in enemy territory which should delay his transfer considerably. [h3][b]Personality:[/b][/h3]TBA [b]Likes:[/b] being in the wild, books, challenges [b]Dislikes:[/b] works that are beneath him, being kept in check [b]Opinions on the Squad:[/b] A collection of rabble which he hopes to leave behind once his personal accomplishments shine through. [h3][b]Abilities:[/b][/h3]Iolaos is a capable soldier who placed on top of his class. He specializes in reconnaissance and finding his way through unknown lands. Thanks to his upbringing he excels at wilderness survival. As a runner type centaur Iolaos only has moderate superhuman strength but he's an incredibly fast runner, capable of matching if not surpassing the swiftest horses. He can also carry surprising amount of baggage although barring goblinoids and similar small species he can't really have people riding on him, not as if he'd allow it to begin with. His tall stature and large body can be also a drawback, though. He stands out and needs deeper trenches to be comfortably hiding in them. His large horse-like lower body also requires considerably more space to reasonably move. Iolaos is also a novice shaman. He left Ithaké before fully mastering the art yet his knowledge is considerable. Shamans use mind magic though more importantly they work with spiritual beings as their medium. Rather than commanding fire, they make a pact with a fire spirit to do that, for example. This of course requires a healthy relationship with spirits and knowing one's limits, because otherwise these spirits either refuse to obey or even choose to punish the caster. [to be continued...] [h3][b]Equipment:[/b][/h3]Iolaos has his standard Yllendyr military equipment like his uniform, remade to fit centaurs wearing it. He also has his service rifle and cavalry pattern saber. Lastly the rifle comes with a knife bayonet that is also detachable and can be a general utility tool. [to be continued...] [/hider]
