Name:Vladarion Vanappledorn (Vlad for short or Van)
Age:274
Race:Human/Werewolf
Hair Color:Golden Blonde
Eye Color:Mystic Blue
Height: 6'0
Weight: 150lbs
Occupation:None
Personality: Vlad's personality is a unique one. At a young age being the youngest of two brother he always felt he had to be on top, be the strongest. Due to the constant strives for the "high seat" so to speak, Vlad developed a strong competitiveness. Vlad never likes to lose and when he does he tends to get very angry. His father pushed him to fight for what he believed in and to always stick to what he thought was right. "Don't let others form you like clay son" he would always say. Vlad looked up to his father very much, but when his father died when Vlad was only 12, Vlad found himself shrouded in darkness. His mother was the only thing that kept him in higher spirits from time to time. Although his mother couldn't keep him from losing his once happiness he always brought into the room, vlad through the years began to get over his fathers death and became happy once again. Now generally Vlad is a happy somewhat outgoing sort of person, but at many times finds himself shy and easily embaressed. He loves to make new friends, but finds it hard to take the first step and talk to strangers. In the end Vlad is half introverted and half extroverted, but now with his new power and what he calls a curse he finds himself developing more extroverted traits. Even seductive and manipulative traits.
Appearance: Vlad has golden blonde hair which is shaggy and comes to the shoulders. and a magestic mystic blue pair of eyes. When first looking into his eyes some may feel tranced by his eyes. It wasn't always this way though, just recently. He feels it's his werewolf side doing this. Clothing wise you would normally see him in regular cloth pants and shirt. Most likely a green shade of shirt since that is his favorite color and his pants would either be a tan, dark brown, black, or blue. Seeing as how Vlad is no longer enjoying the local taverns and inns he has been traveling so he wears chainmail that his father once wore, it holds the family crest at center. A golden shield with two celtic lions facing each other. Above the shield is a hand which grips a snake showing bravery. The chainmail is a dark emerald green and a little rustic at the bottom edges, but not bad. He wears black pants under the chainmail and darkhide leather boots. A katana in at his left side and bow and quiver lay attached to his back.
History: Vladarion Vanappledorn was born 274 years ago in a land far from here. The natives to the land called it Lespin. He grew up in a druidic society in which he found himself learning about nature and her calls. His mother, who was a master archer, no longer found herself working for the service of Lespin. Ever since the marking of 200 years of peace the country no longer felt it should keep it’s people in servitude. His father, a master swordsman, found himself in the same place as his wife so at that time they decided to have children.
Vlad had two older brothers, Ovlion and Tyrin. They both were always much stronger than Vlad, but his father always told him to strive to be better. Vlad always found himself competing against his older brothers, weather it be the better accomplishments in school or the last bread roll at the dinner table, there was always competition. Vlad’s father spent special time with him. It seemed his father either loved his youngest son more than his older boys or that he just wanted Vlad to be up to par with his brothers, but either way his father was always training with him. He always told Vlad “Son, stand up for what you believe in and don’t let anyone ever form you like clay. Always stick to your beliefs.” Therefore Vlad always did, and still does to this day.
At age 12 Vlad’s father died. The country of Lespin fell into a terrible war against a nation from the east. The Arch Druids did all they could to keep the enemy legions back behind the capitals walls, but in the end they fell. Vlad’s mother foresaw this and left with her children to live far far away from the capital city. She moved them all the way to the very southern tip of Lespin on the coast where she built a house for her children. There she taught Vlad everything he needed to know so that one day he could travel to the other towns and possibly even find what happened to his country. Vlad became very skilled in archery due to his mother intense training sessions. His mother even taught him some magic basics, but all Vlad was ever able to learn up until now, was a simple healing spell.
Once Vlad was 18 he left his home just as his brothers had done already. He went to a town called Cardale and started a job as a bartender in a local tavern. There he worked up until he was 22. By this time Vlad was strong and knew the ways of the world. The tavern he once worked in was now his. The owner passed it on to him after he died from a horrible fever. Vlad made good money with the tavern and was able to buy himself an estate in the outskirts of the city. His mansion was built within two years and when he moved in he loved the place. Through the years though it became a very lonely house, so Vlad found love. A young girl by the name of Sarah came to his Tavern which now was not only a tavern, but a shop and smithy as well. The tavern was the talk of the country as many traveling merchants came in and left feeling very happy. Back to Sarah though, she came to Vlad’s tavern after hearing word of it. She hailed from the same country as Vlad had come from, Lespin. Her and Vlad talked for hours about their homeland and of the horrible war. He soon began to court her. They were married within two years of dating opening a whole new chapter in Vlad’s life.
On the eve of Vlad’s father’s death, he took a walk through his court yard. He took seat on the edge of the fountain he had built and thought back on his life. The fountain’s noise soothed him. Under the moonlight the water was like a liquid mirror glass. He looked up to his room window and watched his wive’s shadow as she got ready for bed. The moon’s shine illuminated the whole courtyard, it was the full moon, the harvest moon at that. Vlad doesn’t remember much of this night only that as he was getting up to go back to his house he was knocked to the ground by some beast. He fought viciously trying to remove the beast’s arms from his own, but to no avail the beast overtook him. It took one bite before Vlad was able to stab it with his small dagger. The beast ran off without even making a sound. The next few days he spent sleeping in his bed. His wife Sarah cared for him bringing all the medicines she could find and fixing soups he wanted. Vlad soon healed and went back to his normal life until on the night of the next full moon. He fell to the ground while on his balcony. He still remembers the horrible pain. Vlad was transformed into a werewolf. He did not know this at the time, but when he woke up the next morning in the forest he knew what had happened. He killed many people in his own rage. In worry he killed his own wife he never returned home. Now Vlad wanders the forests still trying to conquer his rage form.
Skills:
Marksmanship: Teachings from his mother were never hard and intense until it came to marksmanship. His mother was known for her skill and to be taught by her was a blessing. He learned quickly and developed the eye of the archer very quickly as a boy. He can shoot off two men with one arrow, that is if he concentrates and isn't in the heat of the battle. He also learned the Three Arrow Shot. Taking three arrows from his quiver he pulls them back on the bows string and with one fling his arrow fly off killing three men maybe more (Critical hit if more I guess you could say).
Swordplay: Not as good at the sword as he is with the bow, Vlad can still use his sword well. His katana is light and made of very good steel, but due to not as much training Vlad never learned certain special skills in swordplay. He knows the basics and can still win in some sword battles.
Transformation (Werewolf): When transformed into werewolf form he has learned most control over his form, but when enraged or on full moon he is uncontrollable and may even kill his own allies in his rage. When in this form he has extremely high sense of smell, sight, hearing etc. He gains super strength, but even though he is a raging beast he can be taken down. Silver is like acid to him. He can't even touch a plate made of silver in human form or werewolf form.
(Note on magic: In Vlad’s magic it is very hard to cast it and he needs time to do so. He has to make a connection in his mind and when he makes it the words stream from his mouth and the magic is cast onto the enemy. This drains much of Vlad’s power and if used more than once at this time he will black out or even die. To regain strength he eats or drinks.)
Magic:
Wind Swril: Although his skill in magic is very very small he can use some. He came across this spell when fighting the werewolf off that bit him. The spell requires the muttering of words "Al'que Vestra". After the words a burst of wind swirls up around the enemy and sometimes knocks them down. If the spell is mastered it will send the enemy flying into the air only to come down to either death or breaking of bones.
Healing wave: This spell is not as draining as the wind spell, but still can be devastating to Vlad if over used in any way. The spell can close open cuts and heal bruises and possibly even heal bones, but at this time he only feels safe healing maybe a finger or toe that has broken. To use this spell Vlad must mutter the word “Vlas’dan” Although Vlad is limited in his ability he can aid others in healing very well. It seems he almost feeds off their "mana source" if you will. Vlad can use this spell once in a battle, and up to three times in a quest.
Equipment:
Dark emerald green chain mail: The mail was made with rings with an inner diameter smaller than 1/8" which is known as micromaille type. It's made of steel.
Pants and shirt: Under the chain mail he wears a green linen shirt long sleeve to keep not only the scraping of the mail, but also the bugs during summer times. He wears black pants or blue pants which are linen as well.
Shoes: Dark hide leather boots with leather lacing as well.
Sword: A katana made of steel. The sword was forged with a certain metal along with the steel to give the blade a red shine. His father wore it in servitude of his nation's forces. The blades sheath is a sanded wooden sheath that has the letter engravings of STL, His father's initials.
Bow and Quiver: The bow Vlad wears on his back is his prize possession. Once his mothers bow, though remodeled to fit to some of his likings, the bow almost seems to glow in the night when the moon shines. The bow is made of ivory and the string is a white strong string. The middle of the bow where the arrow lies is gold with a highly decorated design.
