-- Rank Description: Apprentices are paladins in training. Though their individual skill levels vary from person to person all apprentice Paladin's have several things in common. They have yet to master any of the necessary skills, either magical or physical, required to become a full blown Paladin though they do exhibit at least an extremely basic level of talent and understanding in all such areas. They are pious, and always obey the laws of the church. They are well learned in the ways of the church. Apprentices based on numerous things, the most important being that the youth has some connection to the church. are specially chosen at a young age and after about two years of basic schooling and training they are assigned to a master. This master is always an accomplished Paladin. From here on out the apprentice travels with his master, doing their bidding, and serving the church. During this time the master trains the apprentice and when the apprentice's abilities reach a certain point they are promoted to Rank 1: Initiate.

Personality:

-Valino's personality is a hard one to explain. On one hand the kid is the result of a life time of prious teachings, rigid structures and a dictator like father. This means that he has the up most respect for authority, is highly disciplined and has a strong moral code. It also means that he is prejudiced, occasionally stubborn and rather narrow minded. On the other hand he is still a boy, one's who never had much of a childhood to begin with so while he certainly isn't a deranged lunatic he does have a few psychological issues that stemmed from this mainly that he is easily frustrated, has a tendency to act brashly and can at times be unusually temperamental. He is also slightly anti-social and generally empathetical towards others.

Appearance:

-At first glance Valino looks like a model student of the clergy. His hair is cut short, and kept clean, his posture is near perfect and his facial features look surprisingly stern for one so young. His face isn't perfect and does contain some minor blemishes. There is a large scar on his chin, as well as one above his eye. His nose is slightly crooked and his skin is a bit rough. The child's eyes are dull, partially sunken. His face is always kept shaved.

History:

-Valino is a church boy born and raised. The son of a witch hunter turned priest named Valino Darashan II (the boy's mother died during child birth) the child never really had a choice. To him the church was life, his extremely pious and controlling father made sure of it. Valino attended a private military school owned by the church where he was trained mentally and physically to work for the church. The boy's muscular frame and natural athletic ability made him good choice to become a church soldier and after Valino's father pulled a few strings from with the clergy he was chosen to become a Paladin, special soldiers of the church that wielded both sword and holy magic and served its cause with out question. A couple years of this extra schooling later and Valino was assigned to his current mentor Sargent Marcus Sebushi. That was about six weeks ago.


Skills:

-Non magical skills

-- Basic Swordsmanship: Valino has received basic swordsmanship training. Nothing fancy but he has a decent grasp the fundamentals. Training includes basic ability to use the sword in combination with a shield.

-- Knowledge of the Ethereal Sway: Valino has extensive knowledge in the working of the church of Ethereal Sway. He is familiar with many related wittings and can easily recognize and interpret many wittings that he is hasn't personally read. He is also able to recognize figures who are important or infamous to the church.

--Extremely Basic Military Tactics: Valino has studied military tactics and strategy but not in any real depth. He kind of gets some of the basics but real experience but has no real experience nor nearly enough knowledge to be considered even a half decent strategist.

--Basic Horse Ridding: Valino can rid a horse comfortably had at a brisk trot. If the weather if fair and the terrain isn't treacherous he can even gallop, though at that point Valino can't really control the horse too well and risks falling off.

--Known Languages: Valino can speak, read and write in Salvarian and Common.

-Blessings

--Description: Blessings are buffs that a Paladin can cast on either themselves or on another. Currently Valino can cast one (1) blessing per day and he must touch the target (obviously this does not apply if he cast it on himself) and the blessing only last ten (10) minutes in a quest or one (1) full post in battle.

--Of Relief: The Blessing of Relief immediately alleviates 20% of all pain and 30% of all exhaustion that the target is feeling when the spell is cast (note: it does NOT cure the wounds, it simply alleviates the pain) in addition all pain and exhaustion suffered by the target while the spell is active is reduced by 10%.

-Miscellaneous Magical Abilities

--Sense Evil: A magical abilities that all Paladins posses, Valino's is extremely unrefined. It is generally weak, with only exceptionally strong sources providing a strong feeling. If Valino can feel it, the feeling is faint. By concentrating there is a chance that he may be able to locate the general direction of the source. If he is feeling multiple sources at once he cannot distinguish between them nor can he tell how evil or how powerful the source is. If meeting somebody who is evil Valino might be able to sense rather or not they're evil. Those who are capable at preventing detection by such sense will have no trouble avoiding Valino's detection.
