Saz (Level 1)

Attachment 255

Name: Saz
Age: 26

Appearance: Platinum blonde hair, green eyes, toned musculature, notably wears bandages on torso and forearms.
Personality: Not overly reserved, but prefers not to involve himself with others when it can be avoided. He is driven toward uncovering the secrets of his past and will eschew most everything else for even the smallest glimpse into his origins. Due to his obsession, it is difficult for others to find him endearing and he only truly befriends misfits and strange bedfellows.
Equipment: Two Iron Broadswords, scabbarded at the small of his back.
Skills:

*Swordsman (Adept) - Though uncertain about where he came from, Saz innately understands blades and even shows a degree of skill in utilizing them on the battlefield.

*Affinity (Flame) - While he does not overtly seem to channel magic, latent energies aspected to fire are inherently drawn toward Saz. He seems to show greater vitality in the presence of volcanic activity or open flame, though it is unclear at a glance whether or not this actually has any effect on the man. Anyone who sees him in such situations may consider this a form of pyromania.

*Survivalist - Saz has learned to live off the land. Because he lacks knowledge of his own past and he has no apparent home to return to, necessity drove him to understand how to forage and hunt for food, as well as how to take shelter from the elements.

Abilities:

*Inexplicable Vitality: Wounds that are inflicted on Saz seem to cure at an expedient rate. Small, minors wounds may close entirely within several posts, while larger wounds may slowly reduce in severity. If someone were to watch this process, it would seem as though the flesh and sinew were being welded back together.

*Boiling Blood: Saz's core temperature is immense for whatever reason, and because of this, poisons in his bloodstream (for example, alcohol) quickly burn off or weaken. This will not fully heal him from poisoning, but it can slow the effects long enough for him to seek medical attention. (In the case of drunkenness, it will take him longer to become drunk, and he will recover from the affliction quickly)

Background / History: Much information about Saz's past is lost. The explorers who found him in the Mountains near Alerar described to him the cave where he lay, unconscious and barely breathing. The scene was purportedly bare and dark, and the air devoid of humidity. During Alerar's hottest season. he was not troubled by cold, but he had lost all of the sweat in his body. Markedly, he had a fever unlike anything the world travelers had even seen; and the apothecaries in Nauplez could not explain it with any known medical knowledge. It was as though his core temperature naturally ran that high, because even when it fell, it was still intense for a human.

Armed with his health at the very least, he resolved to scour the world for any knowledge of where he came from, or how he came to be in the mountains of Alerar, alone and bereft of his past.
