Mattius Grey

[Mattius Grey]

Mattius Grey (The Lost One) Basic Information Race: Mixed Blood (Benshira/Human) Birthday & Age : November 4th, 25 years old Gender: Male Physical Description Mattius is a mixed blooded individual. His father was an Benshira and his mother a Human, his skin is a much lighter tone of ebony then full blooded Benshiras but a darker shade then most Humans. It is a deep reddish that can be mistaken for a Human tan at times. Mattius is extremely muscular, his body type is lean and cut rather then bulky and full of sheer power. Mattius keeps his hair in a liberty-spiked mohawk and ties the strands of hair with beads and trinkets. He wears a blue tunic and a white undershirt, with a pair of dark, leather steal-toed boots to match. He also keeps a dark hood over his face most of the time and usually only takes it off to sleep. He ties a dark, black bandana around his face as well. Mattius' arms are literally covered with tribal tattooes that are personal heirlooms of his family history. They detail events in his life in the act of growing up. Mattius stands six feet two inches tall, and has very good posture. His weight is balanced evenly between his muscular feet and his shoulders are perfectly aligned. This is where the perfect ends. Mattius eyes are a blindingly off-color blue that puts most people off when they are first seen. They seem to reflect a reddish tint when in direct sunlight, but otherwise they are a striking blue. Character Concept Mattius is nomad, a scavenger and outcast by choice. Being the illegitimate child of two separate races, he has never really fit in with anyone or anything and so he travels from town to town journeying through lands to find some sort of meaning for himself. He is not much concerned with money, his horse and tent is all that he needs. From all his traveling, he remains very physically fit. Indeed it comes naturally to him, and he loves to be active. He is not afraid of danger, he is a bit too hotheaded and will rush into any situation headlong without preparation, if given the chance. He is slightly irresponsible and a very quiet, somber individual. He has never felt a connection to anyone, nor love for a single being except his father. His quietness makes it hard for anyone to get close enough to see that he is an intelligent, deep thinker. His social awkwardness has lead him through time, trial and error to be very reserved. Though strong, he has no education in any sort of fighting beyond his own quests and journeys. He is a lone wolf not out of sheer choice but because he drives people away from him and never stays in one place long enough to make friends. He is always on the hunt for something new to see, something new to save. Though Mattius is not very good at relationships or physical tasks, he is a quick learner and a very gifted athletee and can pick up on things rather quickly if given the chance. The problem is, he has never been given the chance. He has much potential but has bean beaten down by the weight of the world. Mattius is very intelligent, he derives his political and world views from personal, eye witness experiences and not from other people's hearsay. That is why, if he would open up, he would appear to be very knowledgeable. Indeed, he is a wise man who's council has never been sought. Character History Mattius grew up in the desert, as his father raised him. In the early stages of his life he learned that he was not like other people in the region, and from a very early age he realized that he identified more with Humans that visited the town from time to time, then his own people. His father tried numerous times to get him to conform to the way of the Benshira society, but failed miserably on each occasion. Mattius never agreed or co-existed with the strong religious influence in Benshira. He was not sold on the idea of a higher power and did not devote his life to the practice. He was indeed, disgusted by the narrow-minded ignorance with which the Benshira people lived their lives in service to a god. Though Mattius never fit in, he did enjoy his time with the Benshira. He trained very hard and learned from the ranch hands and warriors returning from bounties how shoot a bow, and has never stopped practicing since. He is proficient in this field. Mattius was a rebel child and could never be told a thing by those who he did not respect. He had a head of his own and it was always getting him in trouble. From this he has derived a sense of self-reliance, but is very incapable in troubling situations at times. Through it all, his courage usually gets him out of the thick of things but not without a few bruises and reminders. Eventually, Mattius' father realized that his son was destined for other things, and so he sent Mattius out of the village to find whatever he was looking for. Since then, Mattius has been wandering, saving people and things that needed saving, journeying, and exploring the world. Time has slipped away from him without him noticing, and so now he is on his way back through the world to the desert, to show his father what he has made of himself. Training (Skills, Arcana, Gnosis, Lore) SKILLS --------- MEDICINE: 10 WILDERNESS SURVIVAL: 20 BLIND FIGHTING: 10 Horsemanship: 10 LORE --------- Mattius does not believe in the strict rules of any organized society. He believes that the traditions and ways of doing things of any society should be questioned and interrogated repeatedly. Since he has seen a wide view of the world, he has seen the variation in which beings operate, and so he knows that there is not a singular way to do things for anyone. Mattius also believes that courage and lack of fear is a value to be respected above any other. He does not put value on personal relations because he has almost none, and thus by doing what he can to face danger and save people, he gets a sense of place in the world. He cannot stand a "weakling", or someone who is not very brave. He will not associate with them and will usually kill them, or try to.

It has a blue handle adorned by a red snake that slithers it's way up the base and wraps around the blunt edge of the weapon. It has a serated edge and is very deadly when equipped with poison. It was sacred to the priests of a certain Temple, but his father would never tell him where he got it. Ledger Thread List
