[center][b][color=cornflowerblue][h3]Personality:[/h3][/color][/b] 

[color=cornflowerblue]First paragraph: Treatment towards others[/color] 

[color=cornflowerblue]⋆ Behavior towards others?[/color]
[color=aqua]Bardulf is very introverted, only feeling like he can be himself around close ones who he’s known for at least some time. He isn’t afraid of meeting new people, but certainly isn’t good at it.[/color]

[color=cornflowerblue]⋆ Where on the spectrum of selfish to selfless?[/color] 
[color=aqua]Selfless to the max. Outside of giving away all of his food and possessions, Bardulf strives to make sure everyone is taken care of.[/color]

[color=cornflowerblue]⋆ Where on the spectrum of kind to mean?[/color] 
[color=aqua]Bardulf, if possible, would never harm a single animal or living creature. But he knows the cycle and balance of nature and how sometimes it requires bloody action.[/color]

[color=cornflowerblue]⋆ Is your character affectionate? Do they enjoy hugs and being touchy?[/color] 
[color=aqua]Bardulf never really knew affection until he met his wife, where he discovered he had a much softer side that his wife loved to cater towards. Now that she’s gone he’s back to his usual stoic-seeming self.[/color]

[color=cornflowerblue]⋆ Is it hard to gain your character’s trust? [/color] 
[color=aqua]Trust is perhaps tricky to Bardulf. He is openly trusting on a lot of surface issues but to really get to know him may take some time.[/color]

[color=cornflowerblue]Second paragraph: Reaction in Situations[/color]

[color=cornflowerblue]⋆ Easy to anger or does your character usually remain calm? What about irritation?[/color] 
[color=aqua]Bardulf can have his moments, but for the most part he remains very calm. In the wild a show of emotion can easily lead to one’s death.[/color]

[color=cornflowerblue]⋆ Patient or impatient.  Is your character impulsive?[/color] 
[color=aqua]When you wait in the pouring rain and mud for hours in order to get the drop on a buck you’ve been tracking for over a mile, you learn that patience is indeed a virtue.[/color]

[color=cornflowerblue]⋆ Brave or Cowardly? Are they brave to the point of recklessness?[/color] 
[color=aqua]Brave, because when his family needs someone to provide, he will do so.[/color]

[color=cornflowerblue]⋆ Anxiety hold you back? Do you get nervous?[/color] 
[color=aqua]Bardulf suffers from fairly dominant social anxiety due to his time in nature. It’s a miracle he even met his wife, let alone have a kid with her.[/color]

[color=cornflowerblue]⋆ Reaction speeds to situations.[/color] 
[color=aqua]He isn’t insanely fast but he mostly relies on his instincts to warn him of dangers. After being a hunter for so long, his instincts are spot on and have helped him out of a pinch several times.[/color]
 
[color=cornflowerblue]Third paragraph: What's in the Brain. Try not to be smart in every way possible.[/color]

[color=cornflowerblue]⋆ Intelligence level: Are you a cunning mastermind?[/color] 
[color=aqua]Smart in a survivalist’s sense. He can make traps, craft weapons, knows how to disassemble animals and prepare them for a wonderful meal. His knowledge outside of topics like this is very minimal.[/color]

[color=cornflowerblue]⋆ Charisma level: How well can you manipulate people? Do you make friends easily? Are you persuasive? [/color]
[color=aqua]He isn’t the most charismatic, nor does he like to be. He usually just states what the situation is to those who need to know and tries to let them know what he thinks is best, but doesn’t usually make much a case for himself.[/color]

[color=cornflowerblue]⋆ Sense of humor or no sense of humor?[/color] 
[color=aqua]He knows jokes usually but isn’t great at making them.[/color]

[color=cornflowerblue]⋆ Sanity level of character/do they struggle with any mental illness/disorders?[/color] 
[color=aqua]Bardulf is by no means insane, but he has undergone a severe amount of trauma in his recent years which has taken its toll on him. [/color]

[b][color=cornflowerblue]History(2 paragraph minimum):[/color][/b]

[color=aqua]Bardulf grew up in the countryside, born in the year 1528 into a small village that resided in the eastern half of Germany. His father hunted game for the villagers and his mother is a seamstress that repairs fabrics and sews clothing for the younger children in town. Bardulf didn't make enemies with the other kids, but he wasn't adept at making friends either. He mostly kept to himself, hiding in far off places, even so far as walking along the treeline rather than play with the other kids.

His father,Gregor Siegfried, took it upon himself to show the boy some skills so that, come adulthood, he wasn't seen as some sort of "mooch" on the townsfolk. He taught Bardulf how to hunt, carve and make weapons (specifically spears and bows), as well as how to track down prey. His father always stressed a few key points and lessons to the young boy as he showed him the dangers of the woods that Bardulf so readily approached at such an early stage in his life. Bardulf learned about the balance of nature, and was told to only hunt what was needed. No more, no less. He discovered the dangers of the forests, from the large obvious threats to much smaller, conspicuous dangers.

Taking these lessons to heart, Bardulf perfected his hunting skills during his teenage years, to where he could match his fathers level of professionalism, though some would say it helped that Gregor was beginning to age away from his prime. As he grew older, Bardulf's mother would take her own role in guiding the young adult towards a more promising social life. He showed him some finer clothes, and would often invite him to come along to social outings so he could experience the bustling activities within the village rather than "staying hidden away in the woods day and night". Bardulf begrudgingly followed along his mothers examples, and would improve himself bit by bit. This would later help him meet and eventually marry his future wife, Kristine, who he met by the age of 16. They crossed paths at a festival held in the center of town and as if it was meant to be, the two talked practically every day until nightfall. 

After a few years of this, Baldur learned to open himself up more to others, especially Kristine. By the age of 20, Baldur had resigned himself to spend the rest of his life with his soon to be bride. As a test of his ability to start and provide for a family, he built his own house in the nearby woods, still holding onto his own tendencies of isolation, but wanting to stay close enough so the village was a short walk away. Within the next couple of years, he and Kristine had a cabin in the forest to call their own, with a baby girl on the way. For the next decade, the two regularly stopped into town, traded the meat hunted by Bardulf and some pottery that Kristine would make in her free time. An honest living, just the way Bardulf was raised and the way he enjoyed. 

It wasn't until Bardulf turned 32 that he would see his first personal tragedy. He had witnessed deaths before, both animal and human alike. But seeing his father slowly pass on due to an illness that no one could cure proved to be damaging to the man. However, with the support of Kristine, he found the strength to honor his father's memory and began to provide for both his wife, daughter, and now mother.

Then, in a twisted turn of fate, Bardulf would face another test of will. This particular night, the game he had hunted took longer to trade than normal, as well as the pots Kristine had made throughout the week. As night fell, Bardulf, Kristine, and Nathalie began to make their way back to the cabin, when Bardulf felt a chill run down his spine. Just outside their cabin door, one of the largest bears he had ever seen had wandered by, and its gaze turned towards the family. It all happened so fast. Bardulf remembers it all in a blur, an exchange of claws, and his trusty halberd. But one slip up was all it took for the bear to strike the man and have him at the animal's mercy. His wife couldn't watch any longer, and did her best to intervene, and ultimately was struck and killed by the bear before Bardulf's eyes. In a last ditch fit of rage, the man picked up his weapon and managed to strike the animal under its neck, causing it to flee. But the damage was done, and Bardulf could only crawl to his wife's lifeless corpse as he now lost 2 of the closest people he knew.

Weeks later, Bardulf, having healed from his wounds despite still having a nasty scar, was making another trip towards the resting place of his deceased wife. He held a bouquet of flowers that he had found in the wild, wanting to clear his head like he always does. Since the incident, he had moved back to the village with his mother so he could help take care of her, and she took care of Nathalie. The weather that night was frightfully overcast, as a rain storm had made its way over the village. Bardulf felt himself drag his feet, flowers hanging by his side as he wandered the woods aimlessly. Before he knew it, he stood in an open field, and a thunderous boom sounded overhead. Every part of him screamed to get away from where he was, but the call of the storm was simply too alluring. It was as if the lightning itself beckoned to him. He held his arms aloft, looking towards the clouds as if to taunt the very skies, and in a strange phenomena, a crack immediately sounded followed by a swift bolt of lightning.

If anyone was around to see it, you would only see a flash of bright light, hear the boom of the energy colliding with the earth, and witness only a prominent scorch mark where the man once stood. All evidence of his existence was erased in a flash. Yet, where one tale ends, another begins.
