03-20-14, 09:12 AM
Name: Tubal T. Cimentarius
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Weight: Around 190 pounds
Height: 6'1"
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Brown
Personality: Honest, quiet and at times trusting to a fault. Tubal was raised to help others and toil in the service of a greater good in the form of civic duty and labor. Despite this, he often battles with his baser instincts, often questioning himself. Idealistic and kind, his naivety may bring him to the threshold of what he views as right and wrong.
History: Born and raised in the deserts of Fallien, Tubal spent his life as most men did in the Cimentarius family, as a mason. Travelling throughout Fallien as a boy, he grew up in the shadow of great civic works that his family was employed the design and build, steeped in a tradition of masonry that nearly deified the hard work and secrecy inherent in the trade. At the age of fourteen he was admitted as an Entered Apprentice, performing the most menial labors required of a mason in his first years, freeing the rock in quarries required for those that had the skill to shape it. Three years later, he was given the title of Fellowcraft, where he learned the principles of his working tools, and for the first time, being allowed to see the first secrets of his trade, which he swore an oath to protect. It took him another eight years to reach the title of Master Mason, giving him the rights and privileges therein.
Though his studies and practical applications of his craft allowed him to lead a productive life, responsible for men and their creation of several large stoneworks, his knowledge did not extend to the politics and power struggles within his family. Tubal had two older brothers, both trying desperately to gain the adoration of an ailing father - in order to gain the head of the Cimentarius' fortune on his passing. When the day came, the two elder brothers cleaved the remains of the estate in half, bickering to the point of bloodshed. With Tubal caught in the middle, he sold the majority of his meager holdings, keeping only his working tools and a mule. Tubal was certain that his name would be a curse in Fallien within a few short years, and he would have none of it.
Appearance: Tall, but not too tall. Strong, but not the strongest. Tubal wears simple clothing mostly, sticking to tunics and pants that befit a man that is used to hard work, usually with a red sash wrapped around him to keep the loose, light fabric from drooping too much. One could consider him handsome if they look hard enough, but his demeanor is neither brash or cunning enough to be purely attractive at first glance. Despite his outward shyness, he walks with a confident gate. His habitual tobacco use is evident, his bottom lip usually sporting a lump of the chew.
Skills:
Attention to detail: From the years of shaping stone and erecting buildings, both civic and defensive - Tubal has trained his eyes to see faults in construction. This aptitude can be a help or a hindrance, as he can strengthen or destroy a defensive structure without too much thought. It is his nature to look for faults in the creations of others, as well as his own.
Swordsman (Basic): At one point during his years as a Fellowcraft, Tubal was assigned to protect work sites from thievery and subterfuge, wherein he was taught the fundamentals of the sword. Tubal has done his best to practice them since, though he would not stand too much of a chance against an experienced adversary.
Flexible learning: Tubal is well equipped mentally to learn new skills quickly. Able to pick up new concepts and idea relatively quickly, he has a thirst for knowledge.
Abilities:
Gerrymander Stone: One of the ancient secrets of Fallien masonry allows Tubal to manipulate rocks, boulders and ashlar. Although this comes at a cost, as this form of magic requires the individual's utmost attention and concentration. Even though Tubal can lift boulders too heavy to be held by hand, his muscles strain and veins throb as if he was physically carrying the stone. Therefore, depending on the size of the rock, it tires him quickly, both mentally and physically, able to lift and move boulders up to twice his body weight. Four times per thread, or until he has the opportunity to rest. NOTE: This is not a combat related skill. It is used only for non-combat related duties.
Resiliance: For the many years Tubal has labored in the quarries, he has learned to channel the pain of rigorous challenges. Allowing him to push his body to the brink, even to the point of collapse. This extreme endurance, though brief, can be enough to overwhelm a foe, or to make a narrow escape. X2 Strength for two posts.
Stone toss: If in the heat of battle, Tubal can combine his two abilities into one. This mixture of fear, rage and adrenaline pushes his mind and body to its peak. He can not only lift stones up to twice his weight, but also throw them towards an enemy at an impressive speed. Two times per thread, or until Tubal can rest. NOTE: This ability is not stackable with the other two. If he uses gerrymander stone, or resiliance in the thread, it will deduct from his ability to use stone toss. As an example, if Tubal uses resiliance one time prior, he can only use stone toss once.
Equipment:
Tyler's Sword: Simple iron sword, in the scimitar style.
Working Tools: Assorted tools such as a square, compass and gavel.
Mule: A female mule, named Ruth. Brown with a silky black mane. Ruth has an intelligent, but stubborn personality, sometimes to the chagrin of Tubal. It could be said that she is not owned by him because of her spirited demeanor. She is not afraid to run away from a fight, and has a bad habit of chewing tobacco.
Cart: A small wooden cart pulled by Ruth, which carries Tubal's belongings.
Tubal's signit ring: A simple gold band with Tubal's maker's mark impressed upon its oval face. He uses it for such mundane tasks as sealing correspondences, as well as for be allowed access into territory otherwise unpassible due to warfare or political strife.
