Name: Zifo Althius
Age: 18 yrs
Hair color: Light brown
Eye color: Brown
Height: 1.86 mts
Weight: 87 kg
Occupation: Soldier

Personality: Zifo is a man of action. Rather than spend his time thinking about the nature of things, Zifo prefers to solve one problem at a time. When things go wrong he tries almost anything to make it go right. And if he makes a mistake or fails in a determine task, rather than mourning Zifo prefers to discover what went wrong in order to not repeat it again.

Zifo is a sociable person, someone you can spend your evening talking with. Don’t expect from him, though, grand speeches regarding the heroism of past warriors, or an afternoon of philosophical chatter. Zifo has simple tastes and desires, and expects nothing more from his life than a short, but well performed service in the army. Strong-witted, he embraces death at the beginning of every combat. As his father used to say: “It matters little for a soldier if he lives or die, as you soon will discover. Focus on killing the guy in front of you, then the next one, until there is no one else to kill. If you make it that far, then you should begin worrying. For until you’re dead there will be no rest to your soul. No peace what so ever”.

Appearance: With a made-up body for the army, Zifo resembles those epic warriors clad in silver armor found only in legends. Muscular and strong, his body is a perfectly oiled machine with only one purpose: kill. He has long, light brown hair that cascades almost to his shoulders. Also, he has brown eyes. Zifo is taller than the average 18 year old adult, measuring an acceptable 1.86 mts. Used to the soldier’s life, Zifo prefers his torn, almost all-
the-time dirty military uniform: a simple green tunic, a worn-out brown pants and a matching leather breastplate.

History: Zifo was born into a hard-working family that runs a prosperous farm. His father, Luthius Althius, was an infantry soldier serving under a local lord. Luthius career ended dramatically when he was crippled during a battle, which earned him the property title of the farm he later began working in. Zifo began helping in the farm from an early age, stage in which he learned the importance of hard work and duty to your blood.

Zifo developed an interest in the army ever since he saw a military parade at the local lord's palace. Thus, Luthius prepared the young Althius to become the best soldier he can be by keeping a rigorous training in all aspects of the military craft. From memorizing ancient battles to physical exercise, Zifo's training knew no boundaries. At the age of 14 Zifo enlisted in the army. Recruited as an cavalry soldier at the services of Lord Fromburg, Zifo must show what he is worth and, with some luck, make it through some battles, earn enough rank to be proud of and then die in an unknown valley among his fellow comrades.

Skills: Due to the fact that Zifo endured excrutiating training from a young age, he has the ability to endure more physical pain and to deal more easily with exhaustion than the average man.

Zifo is able to use different kinds of weapons a cavalry or an infantry soldier commonly use, like for example swords, daggers, sabers, lances and bows. However, his skill in archery and with a saber and a lance are below average. Zifo prefers to fight with a sword and a dagger simultaneously, types of weapons in which he is skilled above average.

Equipment: As primary weapons, Zifo uses a simple steal sword along with a small steal dagger. Complementing his arsenal, he carries a small bow with a set of 10 plumed, steal-heads arrows. Zifo wears a brown breastplate made out of leather handed to him when he enlisted in the army.

To have endurance to the point of losing consciousness is a bit much, for now, but I will allow you to have above average endurance.

He can't be proficient in the use of the five weapons you listed. He can be above average with his sword and dagger dual-wielding, average with one weapon, and below average with everything else.

Also, please separate your endurance and weapons skills.
