----------
Weapon:
----------

Due Terrore- Two magnificent iron katanas adroitly crafted by the warrior dwarfs of Alerar. When combined, the swords softly emanate a light hue. It is said that they are the source of Dharyn’s magical aptitude. His swordsmanship is presently untapped. He relies more on the magical aptitute of the blades than his own strength with them.

----------
Armor:
----------

Macht - A long, elegant velvet and polyester robe that was flawlessly hewed by the ancient elves of Raiaera. The robe has been enchanted to feel weightless to the wearer. The robe is rumored to have been worn by Kierka, an honored elven general during an old Althanian war. The robe is sheer white, a symbol of Kierka’s pure soul.

----------
Skills/Abilities:
----------

Vitale - By combining determination with strength of will, Dharyn is able to create a dark energy source that can rejuvenate physically damaged areas of the body. The energy is taken directly from Dharyn’s soul so it has a fatiguing effect on his body and excessive use can result in his death. Dharyn opts not to use this ability during a battle because of how it affects his body. Like all of his spells, Vitale is focused through his magical katanas.

Aurora - This ability is initiated when Dharyn moves his katanas in an arcane motion. The circular motion of the swords draws negative energy from entities that are present in the vicinity which can be directed towards an opponent. The resulting energy fluctuation is generally shaped like a rod, but can be manipulated with different motions of the sword. It would leave a light burn on an unprotected foe. The ability grows in power as Dharyn grows in experience and grows in size when he purchases longer swords.

Scudo- By manipulating dark energy to his person, Dharyn can devise a small rectangular energy shield to deflect certain attacks. The shield is very effective in repelling projectile attacks, but it lacks the strength to impede a direct physical assault. The energy used to create the spell reflects his eyes, giving the shield a dark tint. Like all of Dharyn’s abilities, Scudo is directed by his swords.

----------
History:
----------

Dharyn is a bastard child, born thirty-four years ago to a human mother and an elven father in the small town of Larapool in Antioch. While Dharyn was still in the womb, his father severely beat his mother and forced her into premature labor. The combination of the internal bleeding and the stress of labor left his mother severely weakened from the process.

For the first three years of his life, Dharyn traveled across Antioch with his ailing mother, who was unable to support the unique child. For years he lived by stealing and scrapping. His mother cried every night when the young Dharyn would bring back food, but she would eat it. She was always proud of her son. A year later she left Dharyn in Lavinya, unable to bear the pain of witnessing her child grow in poverty any longer. Dharyn traveled to Scara Brae and was accepted into the Vara Moire School of Magic on a grant from an old Althanian mage, Mazik. The details of their relationship are sparing, but the two have shared a number of adventurers.

Dharyn grew quickly, transforming from a gifted child into a skilled young man. He took the finest classes that Vara Moire offered, and often found himself absorbed in the many scrolls found in the libraries of the university. The library became a second home for Dharyn. He spent many hours adrift in the halls memorizing Althanas’ history. The Vara Moire library helped Dharyn develop a passion for history that would be a driving force in the next five years of his life.

Despite his schooling, something was missing from his life. Dharyn went on many journeys across Althanas following his graduation. He had no friends and preferred to travel alone. He met many people along the way, but never held anyone aside from Mazik in any regard. Though he often pretended that it never happened, Dharyn still remembered his childhood vividly. He often thought of his mother, and what became of her. Sometimes he would cry for her on his long journeys overseas. Dharyn was an emotional wreck, but no one truly knew what the young man was feeling.

On his third and final journey, Dharyn traveled to Alerar in search of a weapon he’d read about at the university. According to legend, two elves of Alerar had two swords forged in order to defend their land during an old Althanian war. Using the assistance of some local dwarves, the two infused their magic into the swords. In order to prevent the enemy from stealing the swords and utilizing its power, the elves enchanted the swords to need one another to perform magic. The two elves used the sword to defeat their enemies and were buried with them in hand. After a long search, Dharyn found the tomb and the untouched swords. They glowed softly when Dharyn put them together.

Dharyn’s return trip to Corone changed his life forever. On the way, he found a woman that had been attacked by bandits lying on the side of the road. The only thing that was visible on her broken face was her familiar dark eyes. He had seen this woman before: it was his mother. He immediately tended to her and took her to a nearby town where they set down in an inn. Battered, she shared everything with her son. That night, Dharyn learned of his abusive father and of his troubled childhood. He learned of his mother’s coping methods and the pain she’d felt every time he’d stolen food. She told him that he wanted to die. A great rage filled Dharyn’s heart. His mother was alive, but he wanted nothing more than to enact revenge on all those who had done her wrong, including himself.

He ran out of the inn, leaving his mother crying behind and set out to find the bandits that had taken everything from her. Dharyn found them at a pub in a nearby town using his mother’s possessions to purchase alcohol. When he arrived he said nothing, and proceeded to slay every person in the pub. He murdered not only the bandits, but the innocent bystanders as well. The swords that had once glowed white were now black, reflecting the feelings inside of Dharyn’s heart. When it was over, no one was left to witness the horrible crime. He took his mothers possessions and brought them back to her. When he returned, he found his mother lying lifelessly on the bed. She had died while he’d been away.

Extremely confused, Dharyn fell to the ground beside his mother. The emotions swelling inside of his body burst at once. He cradled the body as though his mother was a child, but he did not cry. He’d left her to die. Dharyn proceeded to bury the guilt he felt under a thick layer of hatred. He felt hatred for his father and for his mother for dying. He couldn’t understand why anyone would WANT to die. If the purpose in life was to die, then what was the point in doing good? Soon the guilt was gone, permanently smothered beneath his anger.

Then Dharyn disappeared for six years….

What's the robe made of? Seems to me that a robe worn by a general would be pretty strong.

All of your abilities need a limit on how many times they can be used per battle/quest. 2 for all of them is a good number, I'd say.

Somewhere in your profile, include how good he is with his weapons, since that's considered part of his skills. Below average is what I'd allow for a character with 3 abilities.

Changes have been made. I hope you'll find them to be acceptable.

The limitations are fine, but I also wanted for you to have a limit on how many times each ability can be used. That's what I meant by 2 for each sounds good. The first one is okay as is, since you won't use it in battle.

I don't believe you made the third edit I asked for...

Attack Style: Balanced
His swordsmanship is equal to his magic ability. Both are notably weak.

That's a style, a balance of attack and defence, not a measure of ability. I need 'Swordsmanship' or something similar put under your skills, and there you can note how good he is with his weaponry.

It's just easier to find on a casual glance that way.
