Name: Shorik Arlion
Age: 16
Race: Human
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Sapphire Blue
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 137lbs.

Personality: Shorik is a freindly person. In most cases, he does not suspect people when meeting them, and will try to befriend them. He is also brave, and loyal to those close to him. However, he is a teenager, so on occasion, his emotions will cause him to over-react. He is somewhat mature, and he is caring. The fact that he cares for people could be one of his greater weaknesses. In battle, Shorik is focused, and more serious.

Appearance: Shorik was given a tall and skinny body frame, though he's built it quite well with muscle. The young man's hair semi-short, and sort of just lies on his head as it pleases. Shorik never really cared to style is so much. His skin is the colour of your average caucasian male. As for clothing, Shorik looks pretty simple. He wears a red, long-sleeved tunic, black cloth pants, brown travelling boots, and two brown belts. The first belt is worn the traditional way, across the waist. It has been made with pouches to hold small items. The second belt is worn diagonally on his chest, going down from the right shoulder. This belt has the sheath for Shorik's weapon attatched to it.

History: Shorik was born in a small town in the Salvar region. His father used to be a swordsman-for-hire, while his mother was once a talented mage. Both of them quietted down in this small village after marriage. Shorik also had an older brother, Aerigen. Childhood was fairly normal for Shorik. He played with his brother, and the other childeren. Shorik had taken more after his father, and learned swordplay from him. Seemed normal, eh?

One day, however, a few months ago, his brother disappeared. This shocked both him and his parents. Aerigen had always loved his family and his home. For him to leave was out of the ordinary. Shorik's father wanted to go and find his eldest son, but age was catching up with him. Shorik was aware of this, and went in his place. He promised hsi parents that he would return home once he had found Aerigen. Since then, he's kept to that promise, and hasn't returned. His search for his older brother continues on...

Skills:
Swordplay- Shorik has an average skill level when it comes to using one-handed swords.

Swift N' Nimble- Shorik is naturally skilled at evading attacks, and can also attack quicker than normal. In general, he's 1.5x faster than the average person of his frame.

Sonic Slash- Shorik darts by an enemy quickly, and gives them an series of three random slashes. Due to the speed of this attack, last-minute blocking and evasion are difficult for the target to pull off. Though, this attack cannot pierce armour, and is useless against fully guarded enemies.

Equipment:
Weapons
- Warrior's Sword: A longsword forged with the width of a broadsword. It is light enough to be held in one hand. The hilt is navy blue, and has a symbol in the center. This symbol represents Hope. The handle is wrapped with black leather, and has a sapphire embedded at the bottom. The sword is made of steel.

Armour
- Shoulderguards: Steel armour used for protecting the shoulders. These have no other defining features about them.
- Plated Gauntlets: These brown gauntlets are made from leather. Each of them has a sheet of steel plating over the forearm. The plates are rimmed with gold, and both have a design of a pheonix engraved in them.

You can be average with your sword. That's still skillful, but at a specific level of skill compared to others trained in that art.

I'll allow you to get two extra slashes in with your Sonic Slash, for a total of three random slices. Five is pushing it, really, for a level 0 character.

You can be 1.5 times quicker than the average person of your size.

Okay, I have a stipulation for your approval, which I don't think you'll have much trouble with. I'm going to have to ask that you not sell your sword or your gauntlets. I'm allowing precious metals and stone in a level 0 character's equipment.

And with that, allow me to say the following: By the powers vested in me by the administrators of Althanas, you are hereby approved.
