Simon
10-13-13, 03:34 AM
Name: Initiate Simon
Age: 21
Race: Human
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Brown
Height: 5'10
Weight: 180 pounds
Occupation: Squire Paladin
Personality: Simon is good-hearted and likable, with a good eye for a person's moral character. He does not second guess himself and often acts brashly. The initiate takes his role as a paladin very seriously, actively searching out evil and discord to redeem or punish.
Appearance: Simon is easily recognized by his long black mane of hair that he keeps tied back in a heavy braid. His face is fair and handsome, clean-shaven with a strong jaw. He has an athlete's build and a low center of gravity. On his left hand is the tattoo of a simplified serpent contained within two bold rings.
History: Third son of a wealthy and charitable Radasanthian nobleman, tradition dictated that Simon be pledged to the church. As an adolescent, he found that his talents lay on the martial side of his practices. Shortly into his teenage years he was stripped of his family name and sworn into the Lightwielders, a small, relatively fameless paladin order. He and a small group of other initiates now seek to become full-fledged paladins of the order through word of deed.
Skills
Heavy-Blade Focus: Simon favors heavy two-handed swords. He opts for power over defense, and knows how to wield his weapon in battle without fumble or mishap.
Martial Training: The paladin knows how to fight singly or as part of a unit. He supports nearby allies as tactically as he can, and does not break rank in the face of an enemy.
Spirituality: Simon is attuned to the forces of goodness that preside over mankind. He feels their presence and although he can not communicate with them, he often feels their will strongly in his own actions. He gains no special insight to tasks, but feels a sense of obligation when the opportunity to do good presents itself.
Abilities
Discern Lies: Any character that is the same level or lower than Simon that deliberately tells a falsehood within earshot of him is automatically revealed to the paladin as lying. This ability is supernatural, not intuitive.
Strength of Body and Mind: The Lightwielder Paladin's pious take on combat training molds strong bodies and minds. Simon is twice as strong as the average human and his willpower is comparable to his strength.
Equipment
Iron Bastard Sword: The blade on this weapon is the same length as a longsword and slightly wider, with a hilt designed for two-handed use.
Iron Composite Plate: This leather armor has sheets of iron protecting the chest, groin, hips, knees, and right shoulder. Scores of straps and buckles secure the plates in place and distribute the weight equally over his body.
Symbol of Faith: This silver disk the size of a cookie is the focus of meditation techniques, as well as supernatural abilities gained at higher level.
