Name: Leonitus
Age: 35
Race: Human
Hair color: Brown
Eye color: Brown
Height: 6’ 2”
Weight: 185
Occupation: Kings Royal Guard

Personality:
Leonitus is a well rounded, yet suspicious man of many talents. He can be jovial and fun loving but seldom lets his guard down due to the years of dealing with the high born. His temper can be devastating but he usually keeps it in check. His aspirations, however far fetched they may seem, do not cloud the facts before him, he does not beguile easily
The time it took to achieve his present rank in the kings service has hardened his opinion of his fellow man to the extent of total mistrust. The men left in his charge hold him in the highest regard and look to him for guidance in any matters that may perplex them. He is the perfect role model and ideal mentor. He hopes one day to father his own son, but cannot do so while still in the kings service.

Appearance:
Leonitus’ muscular frame is deeply tanned and often emit’s a glossy sheen when covered in perspiration. His visage promotes fear in the hearts of his enemies when provoked, and swoons the damsels far too often. He has the ability to avoid discovery quite easily when the situation warrants, his disguises are immaculate
His eyes hold the stern gaze of a lioness on the prowl, his long nose intimates royal blood, his sleek figure is spry and lithe. He resembles most childhood heroes.

History:
Born the son of a serf farmer on the slopes of the mountains in his homeland, Arthuria. He spent his youth assisting with the mundane chores of animal husbandry, agriculture, horticulture and anything else he had been told to do. He quite often was reprimanded for mischievous behavior but endured puberty without any major mishap. He acquired his rank at the age of 25 with the help of an old man who guided him through the required tests of approval. His tenure as Royal Guard sped past with achievement after miraculous achievement to promote his rank to the dismay of his cohorts and the upper classes.
He received the rank of Lieutenant after saving the kings own life in an overthrow attempt to the thrown. The kings gratitude was evident in his advancement. It was he that was entrusted with any task that might be difficult or dangerous that the king deemed important to the kingdom.
During the past Aluvian war, he was decorated many times for valor and bravery, but never wears any medals for fear of their pomp. He will not behave as the higher born has before him.

Skills:
He has many skills, both civilian and military.
(above average)>He can split an apple with his long bow at 200 paces,
(average)>he can cleave a skull with one mighty blow with his long sword, and
(average)>he can lead a patrol of twenty through a narrow gorge undetected by enemy eyes.
(below average)>He can throw his voice across great distances to confuse and disrupt his foes.
But his most notable skill is
(average)>the uncanny ability to derive the truth from anyone. He seems to be able to break through the fog of deceit.
Although peasant born, he can

>his trusty Hickory longbow, wooden of course
>the long sword presented him by the king of Arthuria, pure Arthurian steel
>his personal dagger on his belt, steel again

Please split your skills and your equipment into bulletpoints so that I can read them more easily.

Don't submit your profile for judgment, I see them really fast.

On to the skills...you have eleven really strong skills. How about we reduce it to five for now (you can get the others you want via questing and leveling up), and then we'll work with them from there.

Also, your weapons can be steel for now, your armor iron, and you can have 20 arrows made of steel and any real wood.

Okay, with the skills you have, you can choose two to be above average, one to be average, and two to be below average, OR you can have one above average, two or three average, and the rest below average. Right now you have him as an expert in all five skills, so tone him way down, and please make notes in your equipment as to what materials your equipment (weapons, armor) is made of.

Right, so, what I'm reading is above average archery, average sword skill (or strength, one of the two), average stealth, average lie detecting abilities (I'll actually let that be above average, otherwise you don't really need to list it), and below average ventriloquism.

Am I correct?

That is correct.
