Race: Isur
Age: 59 ( born in the year 452AV)
Gender: Male
Weight: 250 lb
Hight: 5 foot even

Physical Description: Ivan is not a tall man, but many think him to be a very large one. His body is thick with muscle, and he has a well kept beard to symbolize his accent to adulthood. Many scars show over his torso, from decades at the forge and practicing combat with his kin. His skin is a bit darker then most others in his family, for some reason unknown to him. The silver veins over his skin is very hard to see except in his left arm, because of this. So long as he can keep his left arm covered and out of bright light he can pass as a normal (though rather short) human. He wears his short red hair up in small spikes, using a mixture of watered down honey and a few other herbs to also give him a pleasant fragrance.

Character Concept: Ivan is very strong. From early on, he was taught to fight almost more then he was taught to forge. Because of this, he has a slightly different muscular structure then those of other clans. His father had wanted him to become a warrior of the Isur, but a he has other plans. Ivan does not want to spend his years with the rest of his kin. He had loved a girl, one of his clan mates. He had proved his might by defeating all her other suiters in battle, and had even gotten engaged... A week before the wedding was supposed to take place, she died of an illness. A month before her death, he had learned that she was pregnant with his child. His home had too many memories that pained him, and so he departed. His father, ever the kind and understanding man, had given him a parting gift. Sense he was going out in an unknown world, he needed protection, thus his father gave him his own shield. It folded small, and was easy to carry. It was the only thing he never had to earn from his father, and is a great treasure to him.

The hammer is the tool of the forge, and it is also a tool of battle. Ivan wields his hammer in battle, though he usually just beats the hot metal with his bare hand. He is easily offended, though he wont show it.

Religion: like the rest of his kin, Ivan is a devout worshiper of Izurdin. It was this god that had given him his mighty arm, of course. All of his work is proof of his dedication to this God. that was how he looked at things, anyway. Before times had changed.

His only disfigurements are the many scars he got while training. It happens.

[Ivan]

Disposition: Ivan is angery. He has blaimed the other races for the end of the world as it once was and the death of many of his kin just a few short generations ago. He also blaims his own people for the loss of his wife, who died of a sickness when none seemed to even want to help. He has even turned his back on Izurdin, though he would not oppose the God. Ivan is hateful twards every race, and thus feels nothing but pleasure when he kills, or sells them into a life of servitude.Ivan is very prideful, and when giveing his full name will not say his family's name, but rather his title "stone crusher" in it's place. Let it also be noted, that in hate he distrust everyone. He is Very cautious.

People: Ivan, once again, hates people. The only people that are not likely to feel the force of his hammer for the smallest slight against him are his mercenary companions. A saying was drilled deep into his mind as he grew up, groomed to join Izurdin's Hammer. " He Who Fights At My Side Shall Be My Brother." Those who are in his command and who goes into battle with him are the only ones he would spare, even protect. Otherwise, he rather not make a friend.

Beliefs (general): Ivan does not care about drugs, alcohol, or any such mind altering substances. He has never taken any. He prefers dark colors to his clothing, and favors midnight as his favorite time. It gives him an advantage, due to his heireditary night vision. He uses both hands equally well, but favors his left in unarmed combat for obvious reasons. He has a habit of never setting down his hammer if he can help it. Its his favorite weapon. He is very fit and his favorite bodily feature is his left arm. His future plans are to advance in the ways of combat, and get rich doing so.

Beliefs (religion): Ivan once worshiped Izurdin. That was before he left home. Ivan gave prayer for hours at a time for his wife's wellness, but the god turned his back on him, so he turned his back on the god. While he no longer gives prayer to Izurdin, he holds no anger and no ill will for the god. He has, though, in his anger, turned to the worship of Rhysol. He has become, more or less, evil. Thus he pays homage to the God of it. The other gods do not concern him.

It should be noted that these beliefs may not be fact. It should be taken into account that the only person ivan has loved has been lost and his entire life has been lost as well. He likely will never see his family or home ever again. All that he knew and all that he cared for is gone, thus he seaks something to blaim for it. This great loss has made him a bit... mentally unballenced, to say the least.
