*Recreated*

Aye, same here.

*Recreated*

I decided against using stock talents from the games and instead listed what I thought were his five most prominent abilities or skills. If that's not okay just let me know.

Garen Steelsinger

Name: Garen Steelsinger
Age: 32
Sex: Male
Race: Human
Class/Sub-class: Warrior

Appearance:

Portrait

Abilities:
Combat Mastery: Due to countless hours of training and even more hours and years of combat experience Garen has a very keen grasp of martial combat. Skilled with the sword, lance, warhammer, crossbow, and many other armaments. Also something of a strategist Garen has disciplined his mind to think many moves in advance, as such he's not only an able and dangerous combatant but a capable and quick-thinking commander.

Survivalist: Garen has spent enough time in the wilderness to easily survive on his own for months, even years at a time.

The Song of Steel, Dance of Death: Garen himself would say his extreme proficiency with his blades came with hours upon hours of practice.
Other more superstitious crowds believe him to be a demon warrior incarnate, whose only purpose in the world is to reap death upon whomever he pleases. Whatever the actual case, Garen is so attuned to his weapons and his body that when he fights his blades sing a funeral dirge for his enemies. The only sounds to be heard is the whooshing of blades slicing the air, the clanging of metal beating metal, and the screams of his defeated foes.

Personality: To most Garen is a rough, cynical person having seen and dealt with enough death to make the man cold and indifferent to the cruelties of the world. As a wanderer and professional soldier Garen is disciplined, shrewd, logical, sarcastic, and at times a bit ruthless. Still, his iron like persona has soft spots, particularly towards children whom if he's in an area long enough will teach kids how to read, write, and otherwise survive. He gives those he counts as friends high regards and always pay his debts, loyalty with loyalty, blood with blood.

History

His father was a hunter and was murdered by a band of darkspawn when he was a boy. After that Garen and his mother survived the best they could, eventually she perished as well. After that the boy was recruited by a mercenary company called the Dragon's Blades at the age of 8. He was to serve the fighters much like a squire and eventually become a fighter himself.

He stuck with the company for 10 years, becoming one of the group's most respected fighters and tacticians. He showed great leadership capabilities and quite the mind for battlefield strategy. The group had an established territory, the local villages were grateful for the protection and the company had food and lodging. Garen served as the one of three members of the company known as the "Dragon Heads" for a couple years, marrying the village chief's daughter, Elaine.

The two had a daughter named Alys, they were happy, blissful. However the bliss would not last... One night after returning with his men from a monster hunt they found the village in flames. Tevinter Slavers were ransacking the town and carting off it's inhabitants. Garen and his men did all they could and saved a few. But when the dust settled, Elaine and Alys were nowhere to be found, the village was ruined, burned, and what was left of the population didn't want to be anywhere near there.

After that Garen left the Dragon's Blades, intent on hunting down the slavers and finding his family. That was his mission for years, until finally he did. He and his closest friend Jeremiah Cross who was a tracker hunted the Tevinter to their lair. The two stormed the place, finding horrific things, corpses, tortured, mangled, or worse. Finally the two found Elaine, or what was left of her. They searched but Alys could not be found. And so the two returned and went their separate ways, with Garen wandering the world. Listless aside from finding his daughter.

Now the world is threatened, and a call for heroes has been issued. Though no hero himself, Garen has decided to lend his twin longswords Gwynt and Tân to the cause of saving the world. For if the world is destroyed, if Alys still lives she will perish with it.

Fate/Renegade Star [Fate/stay night Roleplay]

I think I'll withdraw. I find, sitting down to do it that I'm not really "in the mood" for lack of a better phrase, to write a servant. There's plenty of fine people here, I'm sure you'll do well. Good luck and have fun everybody.

Dragone Age: The Black Warden

If you'd like, you can have my sword....Or bow...Or axe...Or whatever it is I decide to use.

Fate/Renegade Star [Fate/stay night Roleplay]

If we're reserving I'd like to take Archer.

I'm curious as to know how much knowledge about the series would be needed to understand everything? Is basic, I've seen all the current anime enough?

Fate/Renegade Star [Fate/stay night Roleplay]

I am tentatively interested.

Fire Emblem: A Blinding Light

I post, I wait to see who else posts, then get sad when I realize that's all who's gonna post ;-;

Fire Emblem: A Blinding Light

Alvin stuffed the stone back in his pocket quickly after the bandit turned from him. The man assured the young prince that should they follow they'd slip past the Jehanan forces and the bandits wouldn't hurt them, sounded too good to be true. Still, Alvin knew how to play his cards close. "Very well." He motioned his group to start following the bandits, catching Aldo and giving him a quiet message. "Keep an eye out, tell grizzly and Marwood the same." Four pairs of eyes should be plenty, six if you counted Medea. The plan was simple really, just play along and be on guard. If they tried anything well, it would be time to put his silver tongue back into practice.

Fire Emblem: A Blinding Light

Alvin stood silently, thankful he was blessed with companions as faithful as these. "Thank you, my friends." He listened carefully to Marwood's and Aldo's input. "Sion, if he is even aware of our mission, would expect to find us in Renais. I've no doubt that if he doesn't know now he very soon will." It was very difficult to argue when not one, but two of his companions argued for one course. Though one was arguing in, perhaps naive faith while the other was a callous, calculated insight that was tactically sound. Be that as it may it was a mortifying thought. If Sion attacked, use Renais as a distraction to slip away. Would they do that with Frelia also?

"The only Jehannen who knows what I look like is their princess, and perhaps the king, though I was a young boy. And I find it very unlikely that Refeala would lead the manhunt for me herself, now if it were Marwood....." He shot his fellow prince a sideways smirk, he needed a bit of humour after how down his friend sounded at the thought of the Jehannen Princess.

By that point, the bandits that had helped them escape still hadn't dispersed. Alvin didn't notice that fact until their leader spoke to him.

"You may know these woods like the back of your finely manicured hand, but you don't know these roads like a bandit's. The forests you hunt in are now crawling with Jehannen mercenaries, specifically the Dagger Guild, the Broken Blades and the Jagged Teeth, you wouldn't make it halfway to Renais before you were run down like dogs."

The man drew closer to him with each step, the one side of his face obscured by his hair. His one visible eye was trained on ALvin so intensely it made him want to run and hide, still the prince was trained to maintain his posture no matter the situation. So he stood, stock straight staring the bandit dead in the eye. As the bandit leader drew closer though, Medea stirred behind the prince, a deep snarl rising in her throat as she raised her head to look at the the perceived threat. A swift word and gesture from Alvin was all it took for Medea to back down. Though she was still eying Archibald apprehensively. The bandit stopped in front of him, finishing with a single demand.

"Show me the stone."

Alvin wasn't sure what to do. As far as he could tell these bandits didn't have them outnumbered, but maybe they had reinforcements. Maybe he wanted Alvin to show the stone so he could steal it, now or later. A tough call, and Alvin's mind went back and forth over and over again like a waterwheel until he finally reached into his pocket and seized the stone. Wordlessly showing it to the bandit in front of him.

Fire Emblem: A Blinding Light

Dammit Aldo! Such a betrayal! I thought you were loyal to me! But I see that dashing bastard has bought you! What did he promise you? Money? Power? Women? .........Men?
