Name: Leon Adalbert
Age: 27
Race: Human
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 149 lb.
Occupation: Swashbuckler

Personality: Leon is a charming and witty man, preferring to defuse any tension with a bit of humor, but not hesitating to draw his blade when challenged. He loves the opportunity to impress, and will do most anything with a bit of a flourish. He has a soft spot in his heart for women, especially the graceful dark elves. He cannot seem to stop moving, often flipping a dagger in his hand when excited, or fingering the pommel of his rapier when agitated or nervous.

Appearance: Leon Adalbert is a handsome man, with dirty-blonde hair falling about his shoulders and eyes of blue. He often wears a white button shirt under his green tunic, with black pants cleaving at the bottom-front of each leg for maneuverability as well as style. His boots are a similar color to his pants, though they are made of a dark leather. He wears a leather coat with small studs of brass on the shoulders. The sleeves are unbuttoned from the elbow to the wrist, letting the cloth hang loosely and flow behind him as he moves. To protect his hands, he wears gloves of a dark leather, similar to his boots but softer and more pliable for full use of his fingers. And finally, on his right ear is a single earring of gold in a very small hoop.

History: Leon Adalbert was born to a wealthy merchant family in Alerar. His father was known for the dwarven wares he stocked, having a deal with a group of dwarves in the Kachuk mountains. As such, Leon grew up in the lap of luxury, never really having to do much work of his own and relying on his charm and wit to get what he was after. Like many of the dark elven nobility and human wealthy, he was trained in swordplay and how to weild a pistol. His life has been fairly easy until now, though of late he has been experiencing a sort of "itch" for risk and intrigue.

Skills:
Fighting Style:
Light Sword Proficiency- Leon is trained in the use of rapiers, cutlasses, dirks, knives, and other light blades. He has average proficiency with these weapons.
Pistol Proficiency- Leon has learned the usefulness of a firearm in combat, and has average ability with such weapons. He does not, however, own such a weapon.
Dodge- Leon is skilled in dodging blows by twisting his body to avoid the weapon or simply leaping out of the way, but every so often he is hit. He's only human, after all.
Personality Traits:
Charming Smile- While this has no real use in battle, Leon's winning smile can get him places (mostly with beautiful women).
Constant Motion- As a personality flaw, Leon cannot stop fidgeting, whether he be tossing a knife, drumming his fingers, or fingering the pommel of his sword.

Equipment:
Weapons:
Rapier- Leon owns a rapier of steel, given to him by his father when he had shown particular aptitude for swordplay. The pommel features a leather wrapped grip and a golden-colored steel handguard, as well as a single blue sapphire set in the base. He carries this blade strapped to his left hip.
Dirk- Leon knows the usefulness of a smaller blade in day-to-day affairs, as well as in a brawl, where a rapier's movement is limited. Therefore, he carries a small steel-bladed dirk with a leather grip strapped to his right thigh.
Miscellany:
Signet Ring- Leon wears a small ring on his right ring finger featuring a single blue sapphire, matching the gem on his rapier, as a symbol of his status as a member of a merchant family.
