Acamen Hopsfield

Acamen sat in his parent's tavern, taking a break from the process of brewing. It was a harsh, but rewarding process. Sweat dripped from his brow, but it was always worthwhile to help his elderly parents around their house. With the extra business caused by the cold, they needed it desperately. The brewer's son had offered many times to buy them a castle and some servants, but the couple always wanted to live the modest life. Initially Hopsfield couldn't comprehend their want of moderation, but over the course of many years he had grown to understand his parents.

Still, the white mage wasn't sure where he would be if he hadn't headed out on his first quest at the tender age of fourteen, or leaving permanently at sixteen. What if he had stopped when he had gotten married? Acamen's thoughts slowly drifted back to his years of adventure, along with all the fun and all the suffering. The suffering ...

The hole of those lost never truly healed, but over time others covered the wounds. Hopsfield looked up, noticing his daughter running towards him along with a messenger boy. Acamen looked at the poor kid, raising his hand to stop him. "I'm retired. Tell your lord to find someone else to save him from whatever is bothering him." The kid wheezed, almost collapsing on the ground. Ezekala steadied the messenger, and despite his reluctance to speak to the child Hopsfield restored his endurance instantly with a flick of the wrist and a small spell.

The messenger blinked, surprised at his sudden recovery, and immediately handed the letter to Acamen. The light mage browsed through the contents, then looked back at the child. "I'll be at my tower. Send the others there. I have some things that may be useful for our trip."

The messenger smiled, glad his trip turned out well. "You won't regret this Exemplar! I knew we could count on you!"

Acamen glared back at the child, giving off his best and most intimidating smile. "You're wrong. I already have."

Two weeks Later
As Acamen returned to his tower in the north, he realized that none of the letter's contents had been false. While the village had been unusually cold for it's location, the rest of the world had snow. Acamen's calendar stated it was July, but he wasn't sure. For the most part, he avoided cities and therefore avoided the worst of the suffering.

He returned to the mountain that marked his home. It was a small but steep mountain, the black inclines at a large enough angle to prevent the grip of snow. On top of it rested the Tower of Gold, which was really more of a fortress. The walls were made of what appeared to be marble, and the roofs of the various towers along the edge had golden caps placed upon them. In the center stood a keep grand enough to be the envy of kings.

The only way to reach to top conventionally was to take a drawbridge that lowered onto a nearby hill, and to travel through a short underground ramp until one reached the plateu that the mountain stood on.

The drawbridge lowered as he approached, and the white mage entered the warmth of the keep as quickly as possible. The others should arrive sometime during the next day, and then they would be off. For the most part, the keep should have ample previsions for their journey.

Okay so after my character is approved by the GM I'll post the IC. It'll probably take me a bit because I need a brake after typing that.

Examplar of the Brilliant Gold

Acamen Hopsfield

Human White Mage

Appearance
While not wearing robes, Acamen appears to be flawless. That is not to say he is handsome, just to say that no blight or blemish or disfigurement has touched his body. Compared to most men, the white mage is smaller than his reputation, standing at a modest five-foot six and lean in build. However, that build is 145 pounds of pure muscle from his many years of traveling. His light olive skin indicates than he was initially from the south, but his recent travels up north have slowly drained away his native coloring. The white mages eyes and hair are both a brilliant gold, probably a result of an overuse of white magic.

Age: Fifty Six
Race: Human
Gender: Male

Rise to Power
Born into the peasantry, Acamen's was the son of a brewer. Acamen could be said to be part of the middle class, so being friends with some of the more well-off children was not uncommon.

The future white mage had been childhood friends with Maruna, the daughter of the local baronet. As they approached the early teenage years the two started to become more romantic and the baronet split them apart upon being informed that they had been holding hands and kissing. Despite the possibility of being executed, Acamen walked straight up to the lord's manor and accused him of being unfair. After all, this was true love. The local baronet, sympathetic to Acamen, stated that the reality of the world was that Acamen was the son of a high quality brewer while Maruna was nobility. The lady had already received a marriage offer from a thirty-something year old knight who had taken lands in a recent war.

Acamen stated that Maruna wouldn't be happy with the knight, which the baronet agreed to. So the baronet made an offer; if Acamen could prove himself more manly and bring along a larger dowry than the knight could offer, Acamen could take Maruna's hand in marriage. Acamen vowed he would be back by the end of the week. The future mage immediately went to the tavern his mother ran, the village laughing at the young man.

Acamen returned with five times the knights drowry at the end of the week. The baronet, surprised, asked how Acamen acquired so much gold. Upon summoning a golden staff of light engraved in draconic runes, it became clear that Acamen had defeated the dragon god of light. The baronet was glad to allow Acamen to join hands with his daughter. The village threw a party for them, singing praises to their new hero.

Two years later Acamen broke up with Maruna because she had become a bitch. Her reputation as the hero's girl made her gradually become insufferable. Acamen, wanting to avoid the fallout, left home at sixteen to explore the world.

The white mage immediately met up with an angel, also named Maruna, and after much confusion started traveling with her. Over time, they defeated the dragon gods of water, fire, and darkness. They acquired artifacts from each of them along with a ridiculous amount of wealth, on the sole condition that Acamen never explained to anyone how the pair defeated the dragon gods. The angel, although initially annoyed that Acamen had defeated one of her gods, eventually grew to appreciate the young man. Maruna started to cook the mage dinner, sing him songs, and take care of him.

Ten years had passed, and the angel eventually gave up and simply asked the white mage what their relationship was. The white mage blinked, assuming they were just good friends, and she was simply being nice to him because she was an angel. After some violence and a little convincing, they were married. Acamen was twenty seven.

Years passed and the pair took down many beasts, great and small. They fought in the Schattenwald over the years. They healed the wounded. They cured great kings of ailments no other could. Eventually they had a child. After raising her for ten years the pair returned to adventuring, stepping up their game. Partially wanting to impress the other and partially wanting to impress their daughter, the parents would head into more and more dangerous quests. Their reputation grew. After confronting an entire undead army together in Schattenwald, Maruna died in Acamen's hands. The forty four year old mage ended his career on the spot.

Combat Skills
Acamen is a masterful white mage. Not just a simple healer, Acamen is adept at calling upon both his own strength and those in the heavens to smite those who stand before him. He can enhance allies endurance, allowing them to fight longer. He can cast heavenly chains upon those who he wants to capture or who are moving too damn much for him to be able to cast a major spell on. He can temporarily allow himself to fly, granting him a bird's eye's view of the battlefield. These are just a few examples of his white magic.

The Exemplar also has learned the spear well, but most of his strength is because of the weapon itself and not natural talent.

Hobbies
Brewing - Sometimes, Acamen wants to experience the nostalgia of his home town.
Singing - Having learned it from his wife, this is one of the things Acamen learned from her over time. He sometimes does it while he fights.
Games - Want to play tafl? Acamen will be your player.
Melee fighting - While having little talent in the area and incapable of acquiring divinity, Acamen has always enjoyed the tales of knights.
Reading - He is a Magician and therefore gathering knowledge is essential.

Your Gear
The Brilliant Gold - While normally a staff, the points can join together at the top to form a spear. This staff enhances white magic and is the sign that Acamen defeated the dragon god of light. He holds this weapon dear.
The Purity - The robes Acamen wear give him resistance against mind altering affects and combined with the small amount of armour beneath grant him protection against melee attacks. Somehow, they seem to weigh only a few pounds. Formally worn by an archangel, the dragon god of darkness granted these to Acamen
The Crusafix - A holy cross enhancing his abilities to call upon the heavens, this formerly belonged to Maruna. He holds it sacred.
The Crimson Flame - The legendary sword of fire granted by the fire dragon god. Having never actually used it, Acamen is looking to give it away.

Your retinue
Thirty Golden Lances - Heavily armored and riding white horses, these Paladins are loyal to Acamen after his deeds in the name of the dragon god. Many of these men were personally trained by Acamen.
Ezekala - Named after her grandmother, Ezekala is Acamens twenty five year old daughter. An angel, she wears her mother's robes and wields her sword. She has a special hatred for darkness and is somewhat immature (she is mentally sixteen due to being an angel). However, she is incredibly strong.

Retirement
Acamen's twelve year retirement rotated between his parent's tavern and the tower that he and Maruna lived in. At his parent's tavern he focused on raising his daughter and enjoying himself. The white mage learned to brew and how to run a buisness, and enjoyed life in a more casual manner. He remet with Maruna, and found out that she was happy with her marriage to the knight. After catching up, they rekindled their friendship. Maruna is somewhat of a mother figure to Ezekala, and advises her on life.

At his tower, the white mage continues to study and trains his daughter along with the next generation of Paladins and Lightcallers. Regarded as one of the best teachers, many of his former students are excited to see him in action and are eager to travel to the north.

It is rumored that sometimes he visits the dragon gods he defeats, but that is not certain.

Your family
With both his parents still alive (mostly due to being around a healing bulb) and his daughter, Acamen has his family that he loves. Many of his students are like children, and will visit him from time to time in order to tell him of their accomplishments.

@ancient dragon Now THAT's not something I was expecting. However, I would consider your character old enough, powerful enough, and famous enough. Accepted.

THE ROLEPLAY WILL BE STARTING TOMORROW, as I think that is everyone.

The Accomplished

Yeah. I'm just going to commit a large amount of lore robbery and save this stuff for my 'standard fantasy world' document on my computer. It's easier if you produce the content than me XD

The Accomplished

@Hunter of Dreams I think your character will be funny to bring along. Since her fame is mostly due to her race, I wonder how she'll match up with the others. Post in the CS section.

@Dead Cruiser And that's a terrifying bastard. Post in the CS section.

The Accomplished

Yeah, if I get a few more character sheets up tomorrow I may be able to start the IC by friday or saturday, which would be nice.

@ancient dragon Thanks. I know you worked hard on that CS, so I advise that you save it somewhere and keep it as a stock one.

@Deadnaut I don't think I've ever laughed while reading a CS. Welcome aboard you alcoholic bastard XD
