Physical Description:
Quite a handsome young man to put it short. 5.9 feet tall, somewhere between 170 and 180 lbs, athletic build, broad shoulders, not too many scars. He has light brown hair on his head, and bairly any hair anywhere else on his lightly tanned, fair skin. He looks rather good and he knows it, and has no problems showing it, although he should probably take more care of his overall appearance.

His light brown hair - aside from one small, freakish patch of white hair on his left which is usually covered by the other hair - is mostly longer than he likes it. However, he normally doesn't have the mood to take care of it. Just as well, he is annoyed that his facial hair continues to grow. His unshaved appearance displays an overall laziness towards maintenance of any body hygene.

Beyond this however, his clear blue eyes shine its way into the people's heart. He is always carrying a smile about upon his braod jaw, and is a master of looking warm and friendly, simply because it mirrors his inner being. Especially curious to most is the deep dimple in the middle of his chin. The size of his forehead, nose and chin area is approximately the same. He has a healthy, not too dark tan, covering his easily visible muscles.

He has scars scattered all over his body, but not covering. Some are more visible or predominating than others, but most of them are just small cuts from battle. He also has a tale for each one and appreciates them in a romantisizing manner.

Although not infused with pride, his posture is always grandly errect and correct.

Personality:
A really nice guy. His positiv character traits are friendliness, being outgoing, honesty, trustworthiness. He lets his instincts guide him, and has a good feeling for justice, mercy and warm-heartedness. He is the muscular, good looking guy everybody likes as a friend and enjoys being around with. He hardly filters his speech and talks bigger than he would actually ever act.

Unfortunately, these points are also a big weakness, coupled with his laziness and refusal to think deeper on a regular basis. He trusts people too easily, and always believes in the good of everybody. This, ofcourse, has often put him into numerous troublesome situations; and it is not a rare event for him to be used by others.

But his biggest weakness would be his weakness for good looking women. It's not that he is stupid. He just sets priorities. And having fun with women that jump start his body's chemistry is on the top of his list. However, since he is just this nice guy, he has a lot of friends to counterweight his enemies. Besides that, his masterful skills with big swords have always gotten him out of the deepest trouble, at least so far.

He is a faithful follower of Lii, the God of Justice, which also explains many of his actions. He believes more in compassion than in careful thinking, and will always go out of his way to protect the innocent. Since he can remember he has wanted to become a member of the Sentinels.

History and NPCs encountered

History before Roleplay:
Alexander of Deerfield's character and physical appearance is naturally explained by his historical background. He was brought into this world the firstborn son of a respected and wealthy nobleman and merchant in Arcadia. His grandfather owned numerous lands and businesses, but it was all wasted away after his death, by his own son, who divulged himself in luxury and morally questionable activities. This was further encouraged by Alexander's mother, who the merchant decided to marry, feeling a longing for his only healthy male offspring to be a legitimate heir.

They sailed to Wistvale to flee from debt before Alexander could remember, but continued their lifestyle to the expense of former business partners and friends of the deceased grandfather. Before Alexander finished the expensive school he was put into on further loans, his parents reputation hit rock bottom and the whole family was almost murdered on numerous occasions.

It was mostly thanks to Alexander himself, then still a teenager, that their lives remained untouched. He was a bright, mannered and extraordinarily open and warm-hearted soul who had made many contacts and friends who felt sorry for him and his brother. The only ones who learned from his parents' mistakes were him and his brother, swearing to eachother to be a better generation and right the wrongs their parents made. It was too late, however. Before they matured to adults, the entire family's belongings were taken from them, they were cast on the street to fend for themselves among the beggars and day laborers.

Alexander's mother quickly found another man to bind herself to, eventually using up her new husbands fortune in the same way. His father became a broken man who lived in the docks, doing heavy manual labor for low pay. He hated everybody in the world, including his sons. Alexander's brother left the city, keeping only sporadic contact with him. He couldn't bare remaining in Wistvale, where his family had spiraled down to its end.

Alexander stayed in contact with his brother, as well as his mother and as far as possible with his father. He regularly gave money and food to his father in an anonymous manner. His friends and the many people he met gave him work and a roof over his head. He eventually started a profession as a tanner and hunter, and occasionally a hired sword. Motivated by what has happened and the many people who helped him, he became ever more open and friendly to all, collecting more and more friends in his young adulthood. 

However, the overall society and public remained adversed against him. He was forced to give up his family's name to avoid inheriting his father's debt, and took on a new name inspired by his trips in the wild, following his work. It was in a field of deer where he regularly went not only to hunt for skins and food, but also to find tranquility; thus the name Deerfield. However, he refused to give up his claim of noble birth, which would always remind him of his promise to regain his honor. His overall hope to improve his position was to join the Sentinels or become a Paladin, which would alleviate the issues of the past. Just as well, he held a need to start collecting some wealth if he was ever going to marry a halfway respectable woman.

History in Roleplay:
He started a hard working but enjoyable life in "Armor Alley" where he made many friends, including Izz(NPC), Luna(NPC) and Orff(NPC). Then, by chance, he came upon a group at the North Gate, when he was bartering with Rohan Luthgold(NPC). Together with Zalini Mutt Alucard, Alexander Ravenhurst, and Miroslaw Zygmund, he travelled "By Wood and Thorn". Soon after that outing, he had another mysterious adventure with Miroslaw; they were part of "The Hunt" and encountered a couple orcs.

Then, something life-changing happened to him. After he told Zaedus in "The Menagerie Tavern"(page 42) that he wanted to join the Sentinels, he became a raw recruit the next day at the "Training Grounds"(page 1).

"Meteor Mayhem"

NPCs in Alphabetical Order of First Name:

Izz:

Izz, 21 years old, is a small but busty young woman. Her eyesight is poor, so she can't see far. However, she is a master of craftsmanship with fabrics, especially sheep wool. She is shy but a good and friendly soul. Most of the day, she will focus on her work and take care of her younger (and sometimes older) brothers and sisters. She loves sailing and the sea in general. That makes her recent loss of farsight just the more bitter. She has to be animated a great deal, but eventually, she can be a fun person to be around.

She thinks Alexander is a good person and trusts him, but sometimes she feels that she needs to help him just like a little brother. Her family hates him and she would never consider an affair with him; she says that he is too much of a "black sheep". She works together with Alexander and Luna in a medium size shop in Armor Alley.

Luna:

Luna, probably around 40 years old, is a slender mother of two sons. She refuses to reveal who the father(s) is(/are). She is a hard worker and expects the same from everybody else. She excels at all things fashion and design, very creative with her products but stubborn in relationships to other people. Her biggest priority is earning money to give her sons what they need. She loves creating drama and will make and elephant out of every fly. However, she gets along perfectly with everybody who acknowledges her as the boss. Luna is no stranger to illegal activities.

She has a love-hate relationship to Alexander. She thinks he can be quite useful and amusing at times, and there are occasions in which she relies on him. But most of the time, she treats him like a child as is frustrated that she can't influence him like her two actual sons. She works together with Alexander and Izz in a medium size shop in Armor Alley.

Orff:

Orff, 49 years old, is a smith with an own smithy across the street from Alexander's leather workshop in Armor Alley. He can be a grim sight, but actually has a soft soul. He loves his wife and his many children with all his heart and does everything for them. He is generous and forgiving by nature and an almost perfect father, even if he tries to make the world believe otherwise. He is packed with muscles, hair and scars and has seen many battles in his life. He is no war hero, but he has killed more than a fair share of enemies during his soldiering days.

He considers Alexander to be a good friend of his and does in fact love spending time with him. He knows how the leatherworker thinks and appreciates his warm and friendly personality. The two men trust eachother with personal troubles, but know how to respect intimate spaces.

Awesome. I noticed your items are now related to your workshop, which is just fine. As Kiko said, you can't generate extra income with your store but by all means, role play it as an occupation. I am surprised more people don't!

As for Ingenuity, it is the creation/repair/dismantling Talent, among other things. You would be quite average (as average as any regular person) with crafting without points in this talent. In a setting where people might have some familiarity with leather working, you would be a regular Joe. You wouldn't be crafting fine pieces of armor; mind you. Welcome to the site and let us know if you have any more questions.

Oh! Almost forgot - you get 50 gold for a great application. You may want to purchase some adventuring basics from the store, to help you starting out.

Also, avatar's are 150 X 200. If you'll link me where you found your image, I'll make one to size for you.

Thanks again!

5/68 acclaim
(5 points left of a total of 50 starting and 18 earned in 3 threads.)

[Ramir]

You have completely baffled me. But sure.

[Neko]

Bareknuckle Belt
This seemingly simple belt betrays an ingenious design. Light plates of metal placed in well planned locations allow for greater protection without the added burden of unneeded weight. It is designed to add a little protection without effecting encumberance.
- Grand Belt.
- 1 Slot

and


Winged Hatchet
This hatchet was specifically designed and balanced for throwing. While not magical, the improvements to the design allow it to function much better than lesser weapons of its type.
- Grand Thrown Weapon.
- 1 Slot

Here's your updated gear...
