[b]Name:[/b] Garoth Brightwing

[b]Age:[/b] 20

[b]Gender:[/b] Male

[b]Race:[/b] Human

[b]Appearance:[/b] [hider=Garoth][img=http://wallpapr.biz/wp-content/uploads/Wolfs-Rain-Kiba-Wallpapers.jpg][/hider]

[b]Occupation:[/b] Guardian and Craftsman. He’s the man people turn to for all those little items that they need made (or fixed). 

[b]Skills:[/b] Garoth has a fine eye for detail, which is why he excels at smaller projects. Fixing a wobbly chair, smoothing out splintering wood, or just making a fashionable engraving on a perfectly functional item. It is this meticulous nature, though, that often causes him to fall behind on larger projects. He is also able to work repairs on metal items, but has neither the skills nor resources to build them from scratch. 

[b]Powers:[/b] The Brightwing family has inherited the ability to transform into a griffin. Every Brightwing has this ability, but few have mastered it to the degree that Garoth has. In a matter of seconds, he can transform into the mythical beast at will. This process is relatively painless for Garoth and he can maintain the form indefinitely, but if he is severely injured he will revert back to a human. In addition, he can harness some of the creature’s power while in human form. With concentration, he can acquire eagle-like vision, a vice-like grip, or inhuman swiftness for brief moments. 

[b]Inventory:[/b] A silver locket with the Brightwing family crest engraved in it – an elegant wing.

[b]History:[/b] In the past, the Brightwing family had been at the forefront of the fights against the malevolent gods. Whenever a clan or village wanted to stand up against oppression, the Brightwings were there. And it cost them dearly. Generations of hopeless battles brought the once prolific family to the brink of extinction. Garoth’s grandparents became the last living members of the clan, and rather than throwing their bloodline away in one last battle, they decided to retreat.

The Brightwings’ arrival at Kado village was a mixed bag of emotions. On the one hand, the village would be graced with the citizenship of a strong and renowned bloodline; they were sure to contribute their fair share to the community. On the other hand, was the outside world such a lost cause that these once brave warriors were now ready to quit? Even so, the Brightwings were welcomed into the village and earned a good reputation among the citizens.

Garoth grew up on stories of the glory of his ancestors, but like everyone else of his generation, he had never seen a real battle. The Brightwing family is on a comeback, and Garoth has many cousins, but none have come close to his level of control over their griffin abilities. Garoth wears his family name with pride, was an overachiever in school, and still continues to work hard on even the most menial tasks.
