Zivilist Gott

[Zivilist Gott]

Zivilist Gott Name: Zivilist Gott Race:Human Age:28 Birthday: 484 AV, 32nd of spring Physical Description What can be said about Zivilist’s appearance? One word to describe him would be uninteresting. He stands at an average height of 5’10 and had brown messy hair, both regular and facial. The hair on top of his head always looked like it needed a desperate trimming while his facial hair was usually kept as stubble. As if to complete the ensemble his eyes were also brown and were as bland looking as the rest of the man’s appearance. The overall shape of his head looked blocky, while his nose looked a bit wide and chiseled. His physique was somewhat athletic, but not noticeably so. Over this physique he wore a plain white shirt, a pair of brown pants and regular boots, ye gads even his clothing looked to be boring. In winter times it is at least accompanied by a fur coat, the only interesting thing in his entire clothing alongside. Another common thing he wears is a pair of leather gloves, however that is only when he partakes in any form of swordplay. Character Concept Despite the bland appearance of our friend, he is at least passionate of his work. An instructor of the gentlemans art of Rapier Swordplay, which in truth isn’t quite gentlemanly. He knows his art is simply for the art of self-defense, any form of elegance is simply a side effect of that art. When it comes to perfecting his art one can find that he will place everything to the side and doesn’t quite appreciate interruptions that don’t relate to him perfecting his style. For the most part he is a decent, honorable, man, he prefers to avoid trouble if possible and will not take advantage of anyone. He is somewhat sarcastic as well but that depends on the situation. Others often view the man as boring at first glance, from his appearance to the tone of his voice, which sounds like something that simply sucks the joy or excitement out of everything…… and in certain situations that voice can be quite humorous. He is also somewhat pragmatic when it comes to combat, although he believes it to be something that should be done with honor he has no illusion that for the most part; real combat is a bloody affair where honor only exists alongside morality as a restraint from performing truly gruesome acts. Character History Born to Zeltivans Eliza and Schneider Gott, Zivilist is their first and only child. His father, a merchant with a penchant for traveling, and his mother, you run-of-the-mill housewife, were both loving parents to the young boy. Despite living in better conditions than most they had unremarkable lives, other than the patriarch of the family commonly traveling for variable lengths of time, Gott had a fairly unremarkable childhood. His mother would simply keep their home tidy and help the child with his studies, cooking their meals and gossiping with the other woman of the city like an old hen. Zivlist himself simply spent his time with friends his age and learning how to read and some simple mathematics, gaining his first crush and all those other lovely tidbits. As he grew older though, into his teenage years, he realized himself how boring his life was. From such a young age and to simply assuming nothing interesting would happen left him quite depressed and caused him to decline from the world. Eliza, his mother, fed up with his attitude gave him this simple suggestion “Find a hobby” ad not wanting to disappoint dear old mummy, he did just that…. Not, quite simply any hobby he thought off he never quite had the courage to attempt. That is, predictably, until he met a middle aged man by the name of Valentino Sorezzi, a retired guardsman from the wave guard, during the man’s training sessions. As he saw the man move gracefully as he swung and thrusted with a rapier, he was captivated…. Not by the man but the technique he used, if it were into the man I’d think that would have had some odd implications. Simply seeing the man’s technique gave him the courage to ask to be taught on wielding such a blade, it was something captivating, something to remove some of the mundanely feel of his life. Valentino agreed, and with permission from his mother along with paying a small monthly fee began on the path of becoming a swordsman. During these sessions he learned the proper stances, how to wield the rapier proper and all the other basics that applied to it. He also bonded quite well with his instructor, seeing him as a father figure whenever his own is often away. Alas, Valentino’s life was cut short by his death, found dead in the comforts of his own home, no one knew what caused his death. He wasn’t so old that age would take him, nor did he show any sign of illness the days before his death, he simply died. The tragedy of death did not stop there, only a few years later did his own father disappeared, the ship he traveled on was declared lost at sea. At this point there was only him and his mother, who had took to tailoring in order to ease living expenses while Zivilist decided to move out. In the end he decided to follow his mentor’s footsteps and joined the Wave Guard, he thought it an exciting idea. A way to protect to make us of his skills and pay tribute to his late master. At first though, he was rejected, suffice to say his swimming skills weren’t as adequate as his skills with the Rapier. At first devastated, but… it was a small matter that needed fixing, he only had to make his insufficient swimming Sufficient. In the end he trained himself, swimming each day till he reached the proper level of skill. On a happy note he applied once more, and succeeded. Currently he has served a few years as part of the Wave Guard, and shows no sign of leaving it.
