*Personality: Esther is what normally preople will say is a quiet type. He normally is not the one to rush into conflict and he tends to be calm and calculating. He normally is seen with a straight face even with the most stressful of situations. When people get to know him he has a little bit of a quirky sense of humor. He tends to be social when the occasion calls upon it and treats people with an odd sense of respect. He also is loyal to people he is close to and if you are a friend of his you have made a friend for life. Though Esther seems to be full of intellect, he has at times a strange shyness around women and tends to seize up or suddenly go silent when a woman passes by him. However, Esthers heart is in the right place and he has a high sense of what he thinks is right.
Appearance: Esther is seen with short blond hair and soft brown eyes. His clothing is a strange looking set of black robes with a second lair of white robes under it. Under those two sets of robes he wears a light chain tunic which offers him a little bit of protection mainly against ranged attacks. Untop of the robes he wears a strange showy ornate decoration which is a symbol of what he is, a Duskblade. Esther has soft fair skin, which normally makes him seem fragile, but he is far from fragile. He has a rather skinny yet fit build and stands shorter then most humans.

History: Well unlike most tales of tragedy and death Esthers story starts out as peaceful as can be. Esther was a product of a human fisherman who lived in Corone who had also fell in love with an Elven healer. They soon enough became partners and within a few years later Esther was born. Esther was normally a happy child. Assisting his father in fishing and gathering herbs for his mother to make remedies. He lived a happy life and when traveling he often gets home sick. When he turned the age of ten there was a strange wanderer within there small village on the island. He had a strange arcane aura about him and by luck and chance Esther ran into him. The man saw something in him that most did not this man was about sixty years of age and he was a Duskblade. Seeing a natural amount of magic about the boy he asked his parents permission and took him in as an apprentice.

Esther not really knowing what was in store for him was first rebellious not wanting to leave his family. However, being not exactly wealthy and wanting there son to be successful they signed papers making the man his legal guardian. Within a few weeks, the man began to teach him. First, he was taught how to wield a blade. As Esther exceeded in how to use a sword they worked on arts that are more complicated. The elder man taught him how to use arcane energy. Making Esther swear not to use it for wicked deeds he continued to teach him the style that the Duskblades used. First to conjure up the magic but later on to infuse it within there weapon and strike there enemies with magical force. Recently though he felt the tug of fate calling him to travel more and see the world. So about a month ago Esther left his family again giving big hug to his father and mother promising to write to them and continue on his journey…
When Esther turned twenty, he and the elder man had parted ways. Esther remembering all the knowledge and always learning new skills through his travels. Never forgetting his old home and the training the man had put him through. He soon journeyed back to his home and when he turned twenty-two, he found his family again. Ahh it was a delightful reunion. As luck seemed to run in the family, the father made a big catch starting his own fishing company and making a lot of money and his mother still a successful healer. There he stayed looking after the weaker people within this island kingdom as kind of a non-official law enforcement figure. Though crime was never that big where his home was.

Skills: Esther is rather skilled with the blade. Due to the style that he was taught he does not attack with brute force but with swift strikes. Which makes his more difficult to do damage to a fully armored foe. Then again when attacking swiftly and gracefully one using this style normally implements strategy like cutting off the straps of the armored plate. With the style they are also capable of infusing magic within there blade to deal devastating damage.

Esther is more of a swordsman and archer apposed to being an archer. He does not carry a bow and rarely needs to.

His Spells alone are what follows: ((Will Update more in the future))

He has the ability to create fire by summoning power of the elements. The fire can be shaped with his mind and also be launched to attack by distances. It is not to be confused with a Fireball but more of a stream like a spurt of flame or a small bolt. This can also be infused with his blade engulfing the blade in flames.

He can summon the elements of electricity to form a small shock and shock people at a distance. Though he is not strong, enough in this discipline to form lightning that takes years of practice. He can also charge electricity into his blade allowing him to strike and shock his foes.

He is able to shoot a ray of energy out of his hand to temporarily weaken his foe for a few hours. This fatigues it makes them feel weaker working as a muscle relaxitive. He can also infuse this within his blade. The down side is it only can be used twice a day and takes years of training to strengthen it.

Esther can manipulate the wind around him to glide short distances. Though he can glide further with more training, he can only glide up to one hundred feet. Or slow a landing form a high altitude.

Esther is lastly capable of channeling arcane energy into his hands, which allows him to shoot bolts of magic at his enemies. He can also channel it through his blade allowing it to be filled with arcane energy. For instance, he will be able to harm ghosts or his blade will be sharper and cut through steel.

Equipment: Esther carries with him a Sword which has runes etched into them that allows the blade to store magical energies into it. He also carries a backpack on his back with a bedroll and a water skin. On his side is a small pouch, which he carries knickknack that he finds on his travels or other useful items he might find. Lastly his back has a few loafs of bread and trail rations.

I'm afraid you have too many skills at this point, especially since most can be used as both a projectile and a weapon enchantment. Please remove two spells of your own choosing.

Next, I'm not very comfortable with the following: "With the style they are also capable of infusing magic within there blade to deal devastating damage.". I figure you're talking about the potential of this particular style. I just want to remind you that you shouldn't be able to do devastating damage for a few levels at least.

His fire spell should only cause mild burns at this point.

Likewise, shock should be able to numb a limb for a short period of time (around a minute seems fair), but nothing more drastic.

Ray of energy should weaken his enemies for a few minutes at this point, not hours.

Lastly, his sword can be made from steel at this point.

Make those edits and I'll approve you.
