Physical


Balcex is tall and fairly muscular, albeit not much, dark hair that cuts off around his shoulders slick with sweat from hard work graces his deep set face that seems to be set in a way that to most comes off as angry, or possibly violent, if one is especially timid. His nose points outward and matches the jutting that comes from his chin as well. He is roughly 158lbs and 5'9", and typically dons a Ramie Cloak held together by a simple buckle, keeping him pleasently warm and free from unwelcoming weather, beneath it is his Studded Leather Vest, It is neither worn nor weary from battle, as while Balcex has studiously trained with his sword, he has never actually used it for actual purposes. A belt holds his pants tight to his waist and a harness holds his spear, positioning it at an angle on his back. On his lower half of his body is his flaxen pants which seem to be worn and weary from long travel; they are neatly tucked into his high boots which although worn and dirty, seem to be in fairly good shape, as if they are well taken care of. His Talon Sword, passed through his family since they acquired it is almost always wrapped in cloth and held in his hand.



Personality


That everlasting smile, it both confirms and denies what lies within the passages of echoing caverns and staircases that is his mind. One would not be able to understand how someone so cheerful, almost a phantom spewing happiness from it's soul, could just as readily show wisdom the feels so unfamiliar with the speaker, it defies all rhyme and reason, disobeys the order of things, This carefree youngling should never have a grasp on the world in such a way. He should never be able to express that kind of intelligence left to the elderly who have experienced a life much longer than he. And then, that wisdom fades, and he is his normal self, carefree and happy, that childish smile upon his face as he makes jokes and laughs. That fierce wisdom hidden away, lost once again in the passages of time. Leaving you dulled and baffled by how quickly it all happened. An Akalak say it was another soul. They would be wrong. One might say he is insane, That would be a misunderstanding. For it is none but himself within his mind, and when he sees fit, he will eject his true opinion, his true face behind that mask of cheerful goading and the facade of laughter, and release what it truly means to be a traveler.

But perhaps that's not all, for one should not forget his little quirks, for while they are, in essence just quirks, they are in some ways something that would define him far better than just his strange facade. If one were to notice, you would find he always has a hold on that sword of his. Why? That is a curious thing, but the answer has never come willingly, There are speculations, of course. We gather it is something to do with his past, perhaps a family problem. We cannot tell much more, he evades all questions about the sword. It's like trying to seperate a Inartan and a Wind Eagle, I'll give much to see someone break that petching wall down, the curiosity is killin' me. Oh, That's not all, oh no, I dare you to touch his shoulder, even in kindness, it's far more dangerous than attacking the guy, Don't know why but that left shoulder is a walking death trap, almost lost my own life for that, Needless to say he won't be on my caravan again.

History


It is often true to say that the happiest of people are hiding the darkest secrets. And these secrets are often hidden well. Balcex's biggest secret is his family life, and his quest to destroy his sister, one way or another. You see, there was a time when he and his family were together, and though he and his sister were fighting often, noone would doubt that they loved each other, at least on the surface. It was often they fought over who should be given the sword, each had their own reasons for wanting to be granted the weapon that had been passed through the family. Balcex was the only one who studiously trained for it though, as long as he could get away with it, He would be found, practicing sword strokes, religiously moving to the rhythm that would be required to handle the blade. He would bend and turn, slide each foot back and twist, and then repeat the process once again.

Perhaps it was his own fault for what befell the day he was given the sword, an honor he knew well enough that his sister wanted, more than could be described. She would tussle and moan and fight, trying everything she dared to get that blade into her hands, and when all was lost, and the blade was placed into Balcex's open palms, her mind snapped. She became cold and heartless, being forced into another path while Balcex trained, now with his granted weapon. She plotted, and waited, and Plotted once more. She could bear her family no longer and left, taking up her own residence and her own work.

Balcex training had continued and on such a particular day he was sent out to survive a single day and night outside of Wind Reach, a tradition for those who were granted the sword. Away from his home, he waited for the night to end, and unknowingly, escaped his sister's wrath. And to what was this wrath? you might ask. That answer, is as simple as the story, for she had wanted that sword, and as cold and heartless as she became, she slayed her parents in search of it, she would have slayed Balcex, had he been there, for that night she slit the throats of her parents, and when she came to slit the throat of Balcex, she found an empty bedroom, and she fled, the only thing that was left was a scribbled drawing, something that while those who were looking for a killer would not know of, but Balcex would.

The drawing was of a leaf tied to a strand of hair, and though not colored and badly drawn, it gave him enough to know who the culprit was. Yet, he could not prove it. Nightmares and dreams plagued him as he thought about his cruel sister and the vengeance that he wanted, to convict and destroy her for the crime she had committed, and to rip her soul from her body. He could not live in his home much longer, such as were the nightmares that plagued him and so he traveled, to better himself and eventually find his sister and murder her, as she had murdered his family.


Heirloom


Balcex's Talon Sword has been passed through his family for a few generations and upon each generation that the sword is given the story of the weapon is told.

"This sword has a story. Along time ago, let's see, it was about two hundred years ago now. This sword belonged to a rider, and he flew his wind eagle as well as you and I can walk. He was as majestic on that eagle as you could believe, but something like this is impossible to last, he and a fellow rider had fought, and on this particular day, I cannot say why, but they were out for each other's blood. And they fought viciously, but luck was not with our majestic rider, for during the fight his eagle twisted to avoud death and he had swung his weapon, and the rider's own weapon slayed the creature, this slayed the man's heart, and he soon gave his weapon to another rider, this rider also slayed his own Wind eagle by accident, as did a few others until noone wanted the sword anymore."

"But our family are not so superstitious, and we knew how rare it would be to obtain a sword such as this one, and so, we bargained for this sword and we took it up as our own, and it has been with us since. You mujst never lose this sword, nor forget it boy. This sword is the only treasure our family has, and we are not so juvenile to lose it. At one glance, it is but a sword, but remember that to our family, this sword is much more, this is our history."
