Age: Has stopped counting, but possibly over a millenium old. Physical appearance of a human in mid-twenties. While he is not ugly, he is far from being handsome either, and many lines cross his face.
Gender: Male
Species/Race: Human, or was once.
Occupation: Wanderer, though often mistaken for a warrior or someone oriented toward combat.
Height: 1.82 metres
Weight: 70-odd kilos
Build: Slim, extremely agile, but of low physical strength or endurance.
Hair: Dark brown, mid-length; hasn't been combed in centuries.
Eye Color(s): Changes depending on emotion. Usually ashen gray.
Clothing (armor): No armor to speak of, wears loose dark blue trousers and shirt, plus light boots.
Accessories: A long sword, with a slightly broader blade and longer handle, strapped across his back. Unbreakable, but nonmagical. Carries a leather pouch with various small gems in his pocket which he usually uses as currency; no riches here, overall value ranges somewhere around a mid-sized wallet. In the wilderness he may be seen carrying a bag or satchel with minor supplies. There is nothing special about it; it will be made of whatever he has bought before or caught during his trip and will get rid of it once he doesn't need it anymore.
Known abilities/skills & power level: Over centuries of wielding he has developed a bond between himself and his sword, becoming more as an extension of his mind than a weapon or a tool, thus allowing him to use it with astonishing ease. This only applies to his sword; while he will be able to use other weapons with some degree of skill, he won't be nearly as good as he is with his sword. Essentially, the heavier it is, the clumsier he will be.
Also, he is fairly good in hand-to-hand combat; while he may not be overly strong, he makes up for that with speed.
He has gained an extremely refined sense of intuition, responding to those "little voices" in his head a lot quicker and in fact, often relying on them. On occasion that allows him to act a moment in advance; not see, more like react in advance. However, he knows better than to depend on it. Also, his intuition makes him able to use or even assemble and maintain most machines, even if he himself has no idea what the thing is supposed to do; it pretty much works on the "I suppose this wire goes here, and this is supposed to be plugged in here" basis. The only solid exception to this are computers; if you make him use one, except the hard drive to be erased, fragmented, formatted and infested with bugs that appeared out of nowhere somewhere within the first five minutes - if you're lucky. Okay, I'm exaggerating a bit here, but you get the idea.
As far as ranged weapons go, he can hit the broad side of the proverbial barn; he knows how to use them, but it's obvious he doesn't do so often.
He also posesses minor regenerative abilities, and any non-lethal wounds will innately heal themselves in time; scars will be gone in less than a day, broken bones, if left untended, will stitch themselves back in week or so, and so on. Able to withstand {though not necessarily ignore} massive amounts of physical pain.
What is your ambition?: "To make it through the day."
Character description: He does not choose to tell much, or practically anything about himself, and when asked, most likely he will either give a very vague answer, or ignore the question altogether. He seems very erratic, often reckless and prone to quick mood swings. Never smiling, his expression, when there is one, is usually of a faint frown. He doesn't seem to care for the company of others, or in fact care about anyone at all, including himself. When having to choose, though, he will usually side with those that need to be helped; the side of "good", if you will. If asked for a reason, his only reply is likely to be simply because he chose to. However, one should keep in mind that he values his own life above everything else. When fighting he will forgo any pretense of a fair fight if he thinks it's necessary and if the situation looks unwinnable, he'll run and to hell with anyone who stays behind.
Though he is quite adept at hiding his emotions, to an observer either perceptive or simply one that he has spent a moderate amount of time with, it is noticable that he carries a great deal of pain inside. He also seems to hate deities with a passion.
Mind reading/control susceptibility: PM me if you have to know.
