Age: 18
Race: Esgal
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Sea Blue
Height: 6 feet 4 inches
Weight: 133 pounds


*Occupation:
Past Occupations - Tracker, Bird Trainer
Current Occupation - Scout



*Personality: Calm and peaceful, but knows when to show his true feelings when the moment calls for it. Grew up in a peaceful village, who figured weapons barbarian like, and diplomatics were better above all forms of combat. He soon learned that a weapon could do what diplomatics could not, and left the village. His past occupations have given him a sense of peace bettwen animals, esspcialy birds, and can see warnings from nature before others see them. Altho seeming at first slighty dim witted, he is rather smart in the areas he thinks he needs to be.


Appearance: Tall, but thin. Has broud wings, which are white in colour, and strong looking. They give him perfect upthrust for flying, which is perfect for his scouting ocupation. First look at him, and you would think he was a warrior of the Esgal army (since his clothing is very similar to the uniform), but there are changes to the armour, which would take a trained eye to see. As a scout he can notice the smallest things, or the less obvious, but he also learnt how to fit in with the crowd, by folding his wings and makeing them less obvious by tieing them down, folded, to his back with cloth. eye. He walks tall, and proud of his occupation, which has made him populor among merchents for spotting bandits on trips. One of the most noticable things about him is his hight, as not alot of people, which arent Esgal, arent too tall.


History: Carter Reeves grew up in a small peaceful town in the Esgal border. Frequent bandit raids left the village with not much to live on, and upon trying to rally the village to fighting back, was sentenced to his mothers house. A few hours into a raid, he broke out of his house, with the bow and arrows he was hideing, and flew into the air, to fire a volly of arrows down on teh bandits. Up to this day, he hasent returned to the village. He then got a job at teh age of 15 as a Bird Trainer. He enjoyed watching the birds and how they would track there prey, he thought he would fly one day and join the birds. His boss wasent too happy, and saw him as a freak. He flew for days, stopping in towns and learning local lores, and then found a hunters hut, which there he spent some time animals in teh forest, and the nature of how they hunt. When he hit the age of 17, he was old enough to become a scout. He flys in the sky, looking out for bandits, or scouting ahead for armys. He was a mercenary for hire, and he enjoyed it. He got an income which was enough to live off, and rent a small flat. He now does scouting, and a little tracking as a side hobby. But is still looking for more adventure, as he still feels like he hasent found his place in life just yet.

Skills:
Flying - Above Average (Due to wing span, flying experence and weight of equipment, he can fly to 24 feet high)

Bow and arrow- Average

Sword Fighting - Below Average

Knife Throwing - Average

Tracking - Average - Carter picked this skill up while staying as a hunter in the woods. He learnt on what animals are near by, where they have been and what direction they are going. He also noted how they hunted and what hunting techniques they used. He learnt to make traps and what plants where best to sleep under, as he figured, if the animals could sleep under them, then why cant he. Learning on how the animals respond to each other, he has a bond with animals he has learnt to communicate with, and is more peaceful with them than other people.

Reading the winds - Average - Ever since Carter first knew to fly, he was taught always to read the winds before flying. As if he flew up in a gale, then he could end up anywhere, dead or some belived in a different dimension. He soon learnt not to fly in high winded conditions, and while flying, when to fly higher or lower differing on wind volicity. He also learnt on what birds would do when he was training them, to compinsate on freak weather while flying, or to tell if there was a storm comeing, by the wind dropping and makeing it seem like perfect weather for flying.

Basic Education in Reading, Local Lores and History - Average

Wilderness survivle - Below Average

Equipment:
Yew Longbow
15 Steel Arrows
White steel plate, lightened for lighter feel
Iron Shortsword
3 Small Steel throwing knifes
Small bag to carry things in
Book of Lores around the world
Book of history around the world
A strange book titled "Adventures Kingdom, skys not the limit!"

Familier - An Egal which was found by Carter when the bird was young. He decided to keep it and raise it at his flat. It is now a companion of his, and where Carter flys, his Eagal follows. Strangely the bird can speak human dialect, and is often an attraction when they go out with the locals.

Flying needs to be clarified, how high, how fast? I'd suggest no higher than 30 feet high and no faster than 15 mph...

You also need to clarify how many arrows and what they are made of, as well as reduce the number of throwing daggers to no more than 3.

Didnt know what limit there was on arrows, so in an amount from infomation gathered.

Anything else you think needs changeing?

Nope, that's fine. I only limited the number of daggers because you have a good deal of other weapons. As for the flying, 24 feet is fine, but just don't move faster (on average) than a person can run... of course the speed with and against the wind will be determined by the setting you are in and the circumstances. Even if you are flying with the wind, do not power game it.

But you are approved, good luck and welcome to Althanas.
