Name: Blue Knight
Age: Unknown (around early 20's)
Race: Half-Elf
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Green
Height: 179 cm (5'10")
Weight: 76 kg
Occupation: Pirate -> Thief/Acrobat -> Mercenary
Personality:
Blue was a patient person for someone brought up in pirate community but still could never resist a good argument. Blue hates liquor and dislikes most liquids apart from water. He was quite a knowledgeable person so people would often ask for his advice about how to do certain things like how to subdue a bull without harming it or how to pluck a chicken without ruining the soft flesh. He uses his skills of the bow and experience of the sword for amusement and legally acquiring of money as a hired sword. Blue likes to hide his past as is ashamed of being abandoned by his parents. Blue still believes that his parents are seeking to find him but doesn't believe it will make a difference if so.
He has a case of low latent inhibition which is a process by which exposure to a stimulus of little or no consequence prevents conditioned associations with that stimulus being formed. To make it simple the mental process is that when looking at a jug he will not just see a jug but the parts of a jug and the shapes made out of a jug and trivial. This process usually creates either causes psychosis (hallucinations or delusional beliefs) or (in Blue's case) a high level of creativity and good memory for trivial things. Blue was a step off from a genius apart from the fact that no one accepted him by not being a pirate.
Appearance:
Blue has black hair with a streak of white near his forehead, his hair flows straight backwards caused by excessive running and jumping. Blue has green eyes but everyone still claims they're blue for some reason. Has a face that makes everyone think he looks like a wolf yet could never figure out why. Blue usually wears black, red and grey clothes but once was caught wearing blue and was made fun of because of it. He always wears a mask that covers his face and hair for numerous purposes yet everyone says he can't look that bad enough to keep it on throughout his whole life, but he still wore the mask. Blue likes to carry his bow strapped around his back. Blue wears a bag woven out of some strong stuff that also covers his bow from public even if it makes him feel the bow hard pressed against back. Blue keeps his knife inside his boot and his memento strapped to his hip lying parallel to the ground. Even though it is quite easy to see if carefully examined he keeps his memento and knife tucked neatly away in his clothes.
While at work he wears a navy blue shirt made of silk to mask his natural smells thus giving him away. Over his shirt he wears a black vest to use as a combat tool and as easily removable and replaceable piece of clothing. He wears what looks like black cloth pants but is actually a cross between tights and a night suit. His set of clothing gives him ease of movement and makes spotting or finding him in the dark a very difficult task even for professionally trained beasts.
History:
Blue was made to be a pirate having been left in the doorway of a pirate named Sam. The only clue to who his parents are is from a rapier with the words "Blight" written on the hilt. Sam didn't like the boy having no name so he named him "Blue" after his favourite colour and "Knight" after a knight that just happened to have walked across the street. Sam was away from the house for most of the days and sometimes even too Blue with him onto his pirate ship for adventures. Blue was cared by nobody but surprisingly still lived safe and sound. At the age of 2 he started finding things to do and by the age of 4 he was reading books. Blue's childhood invoked a rough upbringing but it all went well when he picked up swordsmanship at the age of 6 but soon later at the age of 8 gave up the sword for the bow. When he gave up swordsmanship he took on the name "Blight" as was inscribed on his memento.
The bow was more reasonable to learn because everyone always said he had a good eye and Sam had recently plundered a ship carrying bows and arrows which no one could really use. Blue rarely really related to anyone until he was 10 when someone stole his bow. At this point of time he started relating to people and for some reason noticed details that others never realized. The stolen bow case made him begin relating to people and, even thought the bow was made of crappy wood, he risked stealing back his own now crappy re-stolen bow. After he started stealing he always wore a mask but then took it off when stealing to lower the chance of being caught. All trace of his looks started disappearing with the mask so he kept it not for the looks, but for how efficient it was at its role. Blue started reading excessive numbers of books when he donned his mask and learnt stealth, how to disappear which is basically learning how to fool the human eye.
When he turned 12 traces that he was elf began to be more obvious, his ears grew pointier and his senses grew sharper and he became more like an elf. People didn't really mind him being an elf but Sam sure did mind, when Sam picked him up he looked like any old kid, elf or not. How was he to know that he actually picked up an elf? This was where Sam had doubts about raising him, he talked less and less with Blue but Blue never did care about Sam, he was only living with Sam because he couldn't earn enough on his own at the moment, soon his life would change.
Blue started being a hired sword at around the age of 16 when he was kicked out of the city by Sam for not liking the concept of being a pirate. Blue now journeys around the world carrying the rapier and keeps a knife on him at all times when working. He once came to a temple and asked for a chance to look for clues of his case of awareness and found out that he had a case of low latent inhibition. For Blue the rapier is his hope and dreams all in one slim sword which was strapped to his hip. Blue works hard for money and likes to keep his cool around clients to keep a good reputation from then on. Many a client asks him to take off his mask but refusing those requests Blue loses many customers (and they lose their life) yet Blue has found some customers that care not of appearance and manner but skill and efficiency at doing their job the way they seek it to be done.
At first he was alone; Blue was travelling around the world visiting people of great knowledge and seeking wisdom. Throughout his journeys he has learnt many skills, languages and has become proficient with many skills. On a negative note in his travels there were too many a bandit lying in wait of some innocent coming along and being robbed and possibly killed. He needed someone to teach him how to fight in melee combat while keeping his composure, where he could predict what the enemies next move was going to be, preferably somebody who could fight on his own and also protect Blue at the same time. As you could tell if you saw him, Blue wasn't exactly the richest person you have ever seen so he couldn't just hire somebody to fulfill that role.
Skills:
Marksmanship: Blue has been using a bow since he was 8, elves being stronger than humans he could already use a simple bow made of wood at that point in time, he has been practicing with bows ever since then and is now quite masterful in the use of bows. He could fire upon anything for up to 50 metres as long as the target will be there at the time of impact, Blue can time where somebody is going to be as long as they suddenly change directions or stop. He can fire three arrows in a row at rapid speeds but must have aimed beforehand.
Stealth: Blue can hide in the the darkness unnoticed unless somebody shine a light upon him or touch him, this skill is inefficient when staying still as it would look like a dot of darkness against the regular shadows compared with while he is moving, he would look simply like a natural shadow where the moving speed shrouds somebody's vision.
Swordsmanship: Blue does not ever use the sword but still carries his memento around with him, his skills with his knife promotes combat in such close proximity that it usually involves him pushing away his enemy then running. He can only handle swords in a very basic manner.
Crafting: Blue crafts his own equipment and sometimes even sells then, the things he makes range from bows to knives to pendents. He is very good at crafting but it always takes him a long time making things for himself as he makes them to pinpoint precision.
Pirating: Blue has skills any ordinary pirates do like operating a ship, commanding a boat, reading the weather, wind and water flow patterns.
Stealing: Blue can steal things that are out in the open without being noticed but is not masterful enough to snitch something out of a pocket or a pack unless they are really distracted and people don't notice him doing it.
Acrobatic: Blue is very acrobatic because he has once worked at a circus doing balancing acts and the such, Blue has thought about it and found that it is not useful for combat in almost any way.
Linguistics: Blue is very talented with languages and learns them very quick, he currently has learnt many including: Tradespeak, Common, High Elven, Elven, Fallien, Drow.
Equipment:
Burlap Bag
Yew bow: Blue makes all his bows have a longer length for it to have lower air time and he gives it an extra piece of wood to let it rest on his elbow when aiming. This longer bow combined with the unique arrow heads he makes lets the arrow travel through the air very fast and quite very deadly. This has positives and negatives, positives is that it is very hard to pull out if the certain someone survives the attack and makes it that the arrow is almost completely silent. This suits Blue’s style of fighting very much as he usually keeps out of sight and out of range.
Iron-tipped arrows: Blue crafts all his arrows himself usually crafting them in two unique styles so that it lets the arrows be more powerful and the others go farther, the simplicity of the idea does not give away how much this goes with Blue's fighting style. Taking down guards armoured with leather at 50 metres (164 feet) away.
Iron Knife: Blue has customised this knife to be used specifically for parrying and pushing the enemies' weapons aside. This knife is actually very curved knife that is solely used to quickly block blows then escaping close proximity so Blue can use his bow. He doesn’t know how to fight with the knife so he asked for it to have a mechanism like a toy knife. Toy knifes can slash like a regular knife but actually can’t be used stab with. Its hilt is very short but with the stabbing motion the blade retracts back into an extra long hilt with a tip sticking out. This tip sticking out has saved Blue’s life many times always when the enemy has just stolen his weapon as it is very short but makes a cut that cuts him so blood comes out and that is the enemy’s sign that he is wounded or dead.
Familiar: Peck is held very high up in Blue's heart, a hawk that has been friends with him since he it helps him with distracting the enemy and scouting the enemies that Blue needs to hunt down and engage. Peck can communicate with Blue by speech because of Blue's origins as an Elf.
All ages are based on assuming that Blue was born the instant Sam picked him up (which is totally not the case), I will be adding/revealing content onto his history as I do some quests & RP some more. I hope this character will be accepted as I actually spent time on it, as many people do.
