Name: Amar Da'an Hashria

Race: Human

Description/Appearance: As is common to most of his lineage, Amar is dark skinned with black hair and black eyes. A strong nose and strong cheek bones add effect to his black eyes, giving him the look of a glaring eagle when he isn't smiling. His average height (5'8") and slightly above average weight (168 lb) give him a slightly stocky look, but as has been proven countless times, not one ounce of his bulk is fat. A rebel at an early age, Amar abandoned the traditional garb of his nomadic ancestry and embraced the 'Western' cultures 'day laborer' garb consisting of a loose fitting cotton shirt, tube leg pants with suspenders, brown leather boots and sixpence (http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.johnnorris.co.uk/uploads/images/product/main/Sixpence_1249576272.JPG&imgrefurl=http://www.johnnorris.co.uk/shop/ty_265-headwear-and-scarves/7640-seeland-sixpence-cap.html&usg=__X_C1aYjJYdxskEZ_MgeK6F4K5Wc=&h=139&w=300&sz=5&hl=en&start=0&sig2=GbMzHevGLDGipxAbCRbZ-Q&zoom=1&tbnid=jcQkRyEbE_OaaM:&tbnh=77&tbnw=166&ei=zVGhTInZOsTKjAfesKH4Ag&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dsixpence%2Bcap%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26s afe%3Doff%26rlz%3D1G1GGLQ_ENJP368%26biw%3D1920%26b ih%3D887%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=131&vpy=112&dur=425&hovh=111&hovw=240&tx=95&ty=81&oei=zVGhTInZOsTKjAfesKH4Ag&esq=1&page=1&ndsp=37&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:0) cap.

Personality: Considered aloof as a child, light of heart and a quick study, Amar has always thought of himself as a little different from everyone else. Where everyone else saw tragedy or sorrow, Amar instead saw humor and general amusement. It deserved him more than one cuff across the head but it did little to change his view of the world. Very few things caused him great distress and he is always quick to joke and brighten the mood of those wallowing around him.

Weapons: When he joined the army he was issued a traditional steel Kilij (http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.oriental-arms.co.il/photos/items/22/004022/ph-0.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.oriental-arms.co.il/item.php%3Fid%3D4022&usg=__6DN4pHmSBMZYiiAhhAhj7QOCkZs=&h=427&w=640&sz=19&hl=en&start=0&sig2=7g5Uz4mR3NIM91oowUkGsw&zoom=1&tbnid=j4d9YDZ84GAl-M:&tbnh=121&tbnw=183&ei=30qhTI6TENaSjAfnpbX2Ag&prev=/images%3Fq%3DPersian%2BKilij%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Dof f%26biw%3D1920%26bih%3D887%26gbv%3D2%26tbs%3Disch: 1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=762&vpy=209&dur=240&hovh=183&hovw=275&tx=153&ty=115&oei=30qhTI6TENaSjAfnpbX2Ag&esq=1&page=1&ndsp=34&ved=1t:429,r:15,s:0) slashing sword, a then functioning double-barreled flintlock shotgun (http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.eurotrader1.com/item_images4/22-1206.gif&imgrefurl=http://www.eurotrader1.com/rev_war.htm&usg=__NyuR4oSSkD6BnftaIpTUwX4AZOA=&h=135&w=650&sz=18&hl=en&start=25&sig2=8PEjmR5Z5BYFzxJienTdHw&zoom=1&tbnid=tt_EbMVCYvDUAM:&tbnh=85&tbnw=275&ei=PUuhTP_wLYiiuQOoy5zdAw&prev=/images%3Fq%3Ddouble-barreled%2Bflintlock%2Brifle%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Dof f%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26biw%3D1920%26bih%3D887%26gbv%3D2%26t bs%3Disch:10%2C114&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=60&vpy=525&dur=24&hovh=102&hovw=493&tx=223&ty=51&oei=NkuhTP2dC82NjAeJ0MH6Ag&esq=2&page=2&ndsp=24&ved=1t:429,r:9,s:25&biw=1920&bih=887) along with all the associated gear (http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.blackpowder411.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/John-Shorb-Pouch-and-Horn.png&imgrefurl=http://www.blackpowder411.com/pouches-and-bags/john-shorbs-personal-pouch-and-horn/&usg=__lc32Wh2C5R0xH9wXmKnB9V29B6w=&h=533&w=400&sz=537&hl=en&start=0&sig2=C2Fno4JwhqGJbxZAg0_KaA&zoom=1&tbnid=lLpAsZ0wMPZ4zM:&tbnh=120&tbnw=90&ei=YUuhTKzUIIu7jAfYrqX9Ag&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dblack%2Bpowder%2Bpouch%26hl%3Den%26sa fe%3Doff%26biw%3D1920%26bih%3D887%26gbv%3D2%26tbs% 3Disch:1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=116&vpy=38&dur=4760&hovh=259&hovw=194&tx=117&ty=136&oei=YUuhTKzUIIu7jAfYrqX9Ag&esq=1&page=1&ndsp=37&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:0). The shotgun fires two .68 IN caliber smooth bore musket balls. He currently has six, as well as enough black powder for four shots.

**Note: The shotgun no longer functions, for reasons unknown to Amar. He's a soldier, not a gunsmith.

However, for logistical reasons, the shotgun is missing both flint strikers, the striker pan on the left side barrel and the right side barrels trigger. All items can be installed/repaired by Amar, but he runs the serious risk of irreparably damaging the weapon so it will have to be repaired by a professional gunsmith. This will be awarded as a spoil at the conclusion of a quest, based on the discretion of the moderator.

The plates and helmet are made of steel and the ringlets are made of iron.

Items:

Basic Survival Kit: A basic field kit issued to every soldier with a sealed pig skin of water, three days rations, poison removal kit, A Beginners Guide to Eatable Roots and Weeds book, wool blanket and entrenching tool.

**Note: Entrenching tool is unsuitable as a weapon.**

Skills:

Basic Survival: He's got the kit, he doesn't need anything else. Right?

Basic Marksmanship: He can shoot his gun, just don't expect him to hit anything beyond 80 yards.

Reload Drill: Military training has taught Amar how to reload his weapon up to 4 times per minute while in a combat situation.

Basic Swordsmanship: In the age of firearms, the sword is rapidly loosing its dominance on the battlefield. All the same, it is still a handy weapon to have on hand when your new, shiny technology fails, which it will and more often then you'd like. As such Amar was issued a sword and taught how not to stab himself, just don't expect him to do much more than slash and hack with wild abandon.

Military Drill: Let no one tell you that this is a waste of time, because Amar will probably have to laugh in your idiotic face. Where once he would have run, Amar now finds that he can stand firm thanks to the countless hours of discipline and drill pummeled into his brain during his military career.

Magical Abilities: There is no such thing.

Background: Ask Amar a question about his past and he'd probably just look at you for a minute, make a funny face, laugh and then tell you it wasn't important. Ask again and he'd tell you to stop asking and wipe the smile from his face. Ask a third time and he'd punch you, and not kindly.

Rising from general obscurity to the rank of Line Sergeant in the Bravo company, 3rd platoon, 4th battalion, 1st Division, Kings Musketeers, Amar Da'an Hashria made a candid point of never speaking to anyone of his shrouded past. What could be gleaned up however, through rumors and general word of mouth with the rest of his company and platoon, was a rather short list of rather disturbing events.

1. His family was murdered right before his eyes and the only reason he was spared was because he submitted himself to the whims of his attackers. Whatever that could possibly mean most people didn't care to fathom, but this was one of the more persistent rumors. Believers point out his tendency to laugh at every misfortune and refusal of sadness or sorrow. Possibly in an attempt to permanently forget or down play his past.

2. He murdered his family, but not before forcing himself on all the female members. This rumor was rare and usually spoken when out of earshot of anyone, so it's safe to say this isn't true. Although it isn't a stretch to link his strange humor with possible sadistic tendencies.

3. He's a child at heart, ran away from home when it became oppressive and simply just doesn't like to talk about it. One of a dozen possible scenarios, probably true.

4. He murdered a high ranking official in some distant province, (the exact province was never specified) and is currently on the run from the King. Amar Da'an Hashria isn't even his real name, and it could very well be anything. Again, a small whispered rumor that has no facts to back it up, or any logical connection with current behavioral patters.

The list goes on for several pages but it's rather safe to say that whatever past Amar is hiding, it's his own burden and not something he wishes to place on someones shoulders.

I need you to specify the metal of the sword. And I also want you to make it so the only way to repair the shotgun is by getting the repairs done as a spoil in a quest (if the judge approves them, of course). That's about it.
