Name: Valek
Age: 27
Race: Human
Hair Color: Long and gray
Eye Color: Brown
Height: 6’ 2”
Weight: 180
Occupation: Hunter of animals and man alike

Personality:
Valek is more of a loner. He tries to keep to himself because he hates small talk and conversations. If he needs information on a prey, he will act like he is interested in a conversation though. If ever information is kept from him, he will find a way to drag it out.

Appearance:
Valek wears mainly his large black leather overcoat (provides minimal armor) and a midnight black cowboy hat. He stands tall, but usually stands in the shadows. His hair flows down to an inch below his shoulders. He is a man very few would want to be found in an alley alone with.

History:
Valek was born in the land of Fallien. As a young boy he was taught the ways of poison making and herbal remedies. His parents were somewhat wealthy traders, who often used animal furs as their main commodity. As Valek grew, his father taught him the art of hunting animals to help aid in the family business of fur trading.

As time went on Valek’s lust for new kinds of animals to hunt became great, until finally he overheard a few men talking about a bounty out for a few small time criminals. Valek sprang to action, and after a week and a half of tracking he found his prey. From then on Valek hunted man and animal alike. The animals for their fur and the men for the bounties placed on their head.

Skills:

Stealth: Moderate- able to creep about in the woods when hunting prey or attempting to eavesdrop.

Marksman: Moderate- able to hit his target within one foot at up to 45 yards. (In a quest…20 yards in a battle)

Hand-to-Hand: able to hold his own in any fist fight. Knows basic fighting skills and defense skills.

Swordsman: Moderate- efficient in sword/knife fighting, but would normally only use it if close range battle were absolutely necessary and hand to hand was not an option.

Poison Making: Currently only able to make sleeping poison to add to his darts. Also knows which herbs to use when in need of healing.

Weapons:

Blow gun: a three-foot long blow dart gun made of oak wood. Around the shaft about half way down is a dart holder that circles all the way around the gun. Holds up to 8 darts.

30 small needle darts that can be filled with different types of poison and be reused.

Hunting Knife: foot long steel bladed hunting knife. Usually used to skin a hide, cut rope, and if necessary, fight.

Current poisons:
Vadha’Kanikkali (A weaker form of Vadha’manikkali) - Unlike its normal counterpart, this younger weaker version only causes its victims to fall into a sleep-like state. Once target is injected with the poison, a loss of basic motor skills begins to happen. Then within 3 minutes the poison reaches the heart which slows it to the speed of when the target sleeps. Target is out for 1 post if it is a quest. Target just losses some basic motor skills if it is a battle.


Equipment:

20 feet of heavy duty rope.

Vials to hold poisons in.

Basic outdoor equipment-fire starters, matches, water jug, fold-up blanket, cooking utensils, sharpening stone.

Hide cleaning supplies

Familiars:
Ke’lor- a small hunting fox which helps Valek hunt down prey. Although Ke’lor is small, his razor sharp teeth can still take a chunk of meat if trapped in a corner. No special abilities other than basic tracking skills.

For reference sakes, moderate = average.

Only one minor edit is needed. The blowgun can be from any real world wood, so no ulder.

Just fix that and you'll be a-hunting in no time.

Well, I prefer female characters with red hair, but good luck anyways. ;)

You are approved! I'd say 'Welcome to Althanas' as well, but you already made yourself at home here. :P
