Post order is a good way to go, I say. Doesn't let anyone get left behind and keeps things structured.

Tales of Sythus: Rise of the Shadowlords

Bruce Tamehart
[Kathar - The Rat Tail >> Kathar - The Rusty Brewer]

The old man's story was cut short when a woman's voice blasted the news of the Empress's death which quickly caused the patrons within the tavern to express shock that eventually turned into panic as they rushed out of the building. The news was a shock to Bruce and he looked at his old gang mates, and current underlings, with concern. "Head to the Palace and inform them I sent you," Bruce said, standing from his seat. "Ask for the captain of the guards and get an assessment of the situation, then report to your immediate superiors."

"Yes, sir!" They exclaimed before walking out of the tavern. Once they were out, Bruce produced the letter he had recieved just after his dine with the Empress and opened it, reading it's contents. A sudden dread washed over him as he crumpled the paper in his fists and walked out of the tavern, a few guards spotted him and turned away. Everyone had heard of the curfew, but he was a general in the army and far outranked any of the city guards. To them, it would seem he was patrolling the streets along with them, and even if they considered him a suspect, they'd have to involve Fingar which he assumed would be too much trouble for them to be bothered with, and so he walked down the main roads towards the Rusty Brewer when he heard shouts of several guards in one of the alleyways.

Perhaps they found themselves a suspect, he mused as the church's bell rang above him. The loud ringing noise causing his teeth and insides to jitter. He wondered why they had to make the damn bell so loud, it annoyed him and from his distance it might as well ring right next to him. He put a finger to his ear, trying to relieve tha pain as a few guards rushed past him into the alleyway, drawn in by their colleague's voices no doubt. Whatever it was though, he was they were capable enough of handling it, and he hoped it wouldn't require his intervention.

Bruce eventually approached a man smoking his pipe in front of the Rusty Brewer and greeted him with a smile on his face, "hello friend! I'm supposed to be meeting a man who goes by Lukas."

"He's been waitin' for ya. Upstairs first to ya left," the man said and Bruce nodded walking past him into the inn and going into the room the man had told him about. Once inside, he noticed four people within, he recognized Cerise and he raised an eyberow in confusion. It made sense to him, however, Cerise was trusted by the Empress and she was one of the closest people he knew to her. Shrugging internally he took a seat that faced the door while at the same time allowing him to glance at the windows and almost immediately started thinking of an exit strategy. Strange habits die hard, he sighed to himself.

Tales of Sythus: Rise of the Shadowlords

Name:
Bruce Stronghart

Age:
33
Appearance:

credit goes to TawnyFritz on DeviantArt

Race:
Human

Allegiance:
Supporter of the Immortal Nine

Class:
Warrior

Profession:
War General

Personality:
~Optimist//Idealist~
Bruce sees the good in everyone and doesn't believe that anyone or anything is wholly evil. To think that something was wholly evil, in his mind, would be an affront to the immortals as it would mean that they allowed something out of their control into their beloved world. Because of this, he is a cheery fellow who always try to see the best in most situations. Bruce is thoroughly convinced that goodness will come out of every situation, no matter how bleak or destructive.

~Narcissist//Full-of-Himself~
Bruce is strong, powerful, handsome, and a general. Narcissism comes naturally to him. No one can love Bruce as Bruce loves himself and he makes sure everyone around understands that. He is constantly praising himself for the smallest and greatest achievements and never fails to explain to people just how amazing he is. Of course, he understands that at some points this can annoy people, and thus he usually expresses his narcissistic side as a sort of joke.

~Charming//Intelligent~
If you're going to say one thing about Bruce, say that he's charming. Despite being considered one of the strictest generals in Kathar's army, he believes leniency outside of the military is a must, and does this by showing off his charm and quick tongue.

Coupled with his charm is his intelligence. He is a skilled tactician in warfare, learned in sciences and mathematics, and a decent merchant if he puts his mind to it. People are quick to assume warriors with thick armour and large muscles are brutes with little to no knowledge, and Bruce learned the value of knowledge at a young age from an unlikely group of urchins and began teaching himself for his own gains.
Biography:
Bruce grew up raised only by a single mother with three other siblings, their father having died in battle against a bandit raid. As he was growing up, his mother used to tell them tales of their father's great achievements and what a great soldier he was. Bruce, at a young and tender age, made a promise to himself that he would become a soldier like his father and began "training" every afternoon and evening on trees and other kids, constantly getting into fights and causing all sorts of trouble.

At the age of eight he joined a street gang comprised of rebellious kids, street urchins, and older teens who had nothing better to do with their time. His presence in the gang grew throughout the years and at the age of eleven he was voted on as it's leader where the gang experienced it's most prosperous period yet. With Bruce as it's leader, the gang raided the local bakery, butcher, and various other buildings to get their hands on items and trinkets to sell to other merchants. However, as the gang grew, the city guards grew tougher within the area and eventually at the age of fifteen, Bruce thought it best to disband the gang before they all ended up dead. A few agreed with his idea, while most called him cowardly and unreasonable.

After he left the gang he signed up for the military along with a few members from his previous gang. It was clear from day one that his superiors thought very little of him and they made sure that he knew it by abusing his rights and making him do the most menial tasks. However, his goal to become as great as his father drove him to mostly ignore his superior's bullying and practice relentlessly to prove his worth as a man and a soldier. It eventually paid off as his rank within the army grew quickly and was promoted to Captain at the age of twenty.

Around that time he took a year off to go back to his family and check up on them, revisiting his younger siblings to note that one of them had joined the second oldest, a young woman, joined the assassin's guild, and the next joined the merchant's guild while the last, a boy, stayed behind to watch over their dying mother. He told his youngest sibling to go and pursue his dream while he took over for him and towards the end of the year witnessed his mother's death.

The siblings all came back together after Bruce sent them word of their mother's death and once the burial was complete, he went back to the army and they welcomed him back with open arms. Inside, he partook leading in a few raids and skirmishes, proving his tactical prowess which eventually got him to be promoted to general at the age 31. Most thought his promotion to be a poor choice, mostly the older generals, but despite the prostests he wasn't demoted and continued to be a general and one of the most influential amongst them.

When the party drew near, the Empress sent a letter of invitation to him to join her at the party and to feast with her during the afternoon, as a recognition of his amazing feats within the army. He gladly accepted the invitation and once the feast was over and the sun was beginning to set, he went to the Rat's Tail with a few of his former gang mates where they saw a crowd forming around an old storyteller and decided to listen in.

Weapon of Choice:
Bastard Sword

Powers & Abilities:
~Supreme Tactician & Warrior~
Bruce's tactical skills are surpassed by only a few individuals within the kingdom and he is often considered as something of a prodigy. Spending more than half of his life within the army have given him skills and intuition often unknown to most bandits and mercenaries; his discipline, strength, and skills make him a formidable enemy and an equally great ally.

~Leadership~
One of the main focuses of the military is leadership, and being a general within the army proves Bruce to be a capable and well talented leader. He is cool under stress, quick of mind, and uses all of his skills to dish out orders that will give the best possible outcome of any situation.

~Magic~
Although his magic isn't the greatest as his main focus is on melee combat, but it is enough to heal himself from small wounds such as minor cuts, bruises, and injuries related to that. However using even that tires him out extraordinarily quickly, and because of that he uses it sparingly. He also has the minor ability of slightly intimidating his enemies with a small aura, causing those weak of mind to cower from his presence.
