[color=4A4B4F][i]Twenty-five — Beorc {Spirit Charmer} — Swordmaster[/i][/color][/center]
[indent][color=4A4B4F]Personality:[/color] Cunning and intelligent, Martel never takes action without thinking thoroughly through the situation at hand. He is creative, crafty, and can be a bit devious but is willing to meet an end goal by any means necessary, in hopes that it will affect the least amount of people. Martel is also highly-educated, coming from a well-off family in the Begnion Senate. With having had such a studious and just nature growing up, Martel can come off as a bit of an arrow, always flying the path of what he considers righteous.

Martel is self-less, always thinking about the betterment and safety of others before his own, having been taught that every life is precious. He wants to see growth and prosper for all of Tellius, always one to want to reach a goal of everlasting peace. Deceit is something the young lordling despises, but hypocritically uses himself. At first glance, most people see Martel as a sickly, thin man under his robes and garbs, but he manages to play it off pretty well too. He uses it to his advantage when others think he can be walked all over, but in reality he has grown up to be a strong-willed, physically capable, and talented young man.

Commanding a very focused mind, there are many times he is sought out for leadership by those his age who are looking to make a name for themselves. He emits a warming aura and one for the growth of a person. Young adults like himself seek out his sagely advice, but in reality the young man is just as broken down and self-conscious as the others around him. Martel is able to just play along confidently enough that he can slyly walk on through.[indent][indent][hr][/indent][/indent][color=4A4B4F]History:[/color] Martel was born in Begnion to the Alba family. They live in Albany, near the capitol city of Sienne. The Alba's are one of the oldest families in the Senate and have stayed some of the most loyal to the Apostle as well, with Martel being no different. In his family history it is said that they are distant relatives to the royal family, having the possibility of having royal blood running in their veins. Martel is a non-believer in which he hopes that they don't because with that kind of power running in your veins then more troubles would lie ahead for those generations to come.

Growing up, Martel was a very sickly child. He would often times be running high fevers and would be on the brink of death it seemed. Things had gotten somewhat better as he aged, but still being bed-ridden for weeks on end as a toddler. It wasn't until he was about a teenager when his parents had taken him to a church hidden in the forests near the Begnion-Daein border that he had miraculously overcame all his illnesses. As a young teen, that specific memory faded into darkness, having it shine on through every so often as a dream. That was also the time during which a mark appeared on his hip that he was told to hide from the eyes of others. Martel was also informed by his parents that he must continue acting like a sickly, young man for if he didn't the eyes of all those around them would be prying away at the secrets that they are trying to hide.

From then on Martel continued the act of being an ill and physically weak young man for the sake of his family. Behind the scenes and away from the deceitful eyes of the other families of the senate, Martel was being taught many things by wise sages and taught by the finest of swordsmen, having gained a talent for sword arts.

To this day, even now as an adult, he is still seen as a meek and frail young man, but Martel learning and doing what he can in order to help create the change in the world that he wants to see.
