[Malkur]

Malkur Kyra (I have no clue who drew this.) Basic Information Race: Human Birthday & Age : Season of Winter, Day 12, 485 AV; Age 25 Gender: Male Physical Description Malkur is roughly 5'6" in height with an athletic build and square set features. His eyes are a simple brown color and the sides of his head are shaved low with side burns. The top of his head has much longer hair, with the back of the hair tied into a low ponytail. He has a chin stubble which tends toward the blondish color like the hair on his head. He is almost always in an old pair of plate armor, which lacks a helmet. The armor is ornately designed in some places, and strangely plain in others. Almost as if it looked like it was patched over the many years of its existence. Under the armor he wears simple brown leathers, lightly reinforced as added protection. He is often seen wearing a notched wooden shield with metal reinforcement strapped to his arm and a short spear with a diamond shaped head. When seen out of his armor he is oft shirtless, revealing very light scarring and a large burn on his right shoulder. Character Concept A young warrior seeking to follow his fathers footsteps as a caravan guard and mercenary. Always idolizing his father it was the only logical step for him, so he took up the armor of his father and began to travel the world looking for work as a warrior. Character History Born in Winter of 485 to a young mother and middle aged father he was born on the move. His father protected traders, travelers, and anyone else with the coin and enough reason to need protection. Rather then leave his family behind, his father dragged them along on these jobs. They never settled, and for many years young Malkur played along dangerous trade routes and befriended the children of those his father protected. From nobles to scum and back again. By his tenth birthday his father began training him in his preferred style of combat, the spear and shield. Taught him thrusts, counters, blocks and sweeps; the style which had made him at least slightly famous. Within a few months he began to challenge boys he met to mock battles, using sticks as weapons and small round shields, and developed his skills beating up unsuspecting children like himself. By fifteen he fought alongside his father on missions, getting in battles and even killing men when it was required. He was scarred, if only lightly, and fought with all his might alongside what had always been his idol. At age twenty Malkur and his father accepted the job from a man most felt uneasy around. It wasn't a combat job, but a simple courier assignment, normally something they didn't do, but the pay was good. So easy was the job, they did not even bring armor or weapons. Upon meeting the man they found why he was feared, for he snapped when asked what was in the package. In one fell swoop he shot fire from himself and killed the only man he idolized. Malkur himself was badly burned on the right shoulder. He narrowly escaped. He returned home to his mother, who quickly fell into depression at the news. Realizing he had no place in this world other then with the spear, he took up his fathers armor and traveled, and five years later he still does the same. Traveling, doing what his father taught him to do.

Languages: Common - Fluent Isur - Basic Pavi - Poor Equipment and Possessions Father's Armor(Starting, Heirloom - I will deduct the cost from my starting gold to make up for its price) - His fathers banded mail armor, an item he both carries with him into battle and in his heart. Though old and not in the best of condition, it means quite a bit to him and he would likely not trade for even the most valuable armor an Isur could make. However, over the years he has fitted and modified, as well as patched it for his own purposes. Making it comfortable and fitting for him in battle. 1 Set of Clothing (cloak/coat & footwear included)(starting) 1 Waterskin(starting) 1 Backpack which contains:(starting) o 1 Set of Toiletries (comb, brush, razor, soap) o Food for a week o 1 eating knife o Flint & Steel 1 Short Spear (- 2gm) 1 Large Wooden Shield (-7 gm) No Housing Ledger 600 gold rimmed mizas (starting without house) - 2 Gm -7 GM - 200 Gm ( -200 for heirloom being over 50 Gm) Current: 391 gold rimmed mizas.
