Every time she says "chest", prime, I get the wrong image in my head.

Name: Armendir Galamiel

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Race: Elven

Personality: Like most of his kind Armendir is endowed with an innate ability to stifle if not completely ignore his emotions all together. This can make him seem very cold to others, but it also makes him impossible to manipulate. With a stead fast way of thinking Armendir is fearless in a lot of respects and will likely be the first to go into battle when the time calls. But unlike most of his kind Armendir cares deeply for the men and woman who stand beside him in battle and out of battle even if he does not show it physically. He would die for them if the time called for it, and he do it gladly without hesitation. On a lighter side Armendir can be how do you say slightly awkward when it comes to social situations. In other words finding him in a pub is not a very common thing, and if you do it was probably because he was dragged there by someone else. Like most of his kind Armendir does not nor can he show affection like humans or other races, so most times the way he does can be viewed at as insulting or worse. In the end Armendir is extremely loyal, his loyalty's are deep set and uncorruptable, he is the greatest ally to have in battle even if not in the party afterwards and a fierce friend.



Backstory: Armendir never knew his home but he knows that he comes from a large settlement in the Westlands. Born with an innate ability to use bows Armendir is considered an elven prophecy, if you believed in such things. In his culture Armendir was consider almost like a treasure being his parents were both young members of the Elven council, on his taking into the knights the many people of his city thought this treasonous. But being Born into the lineage of the Knights, Armendir was of course taken from his home as a very young child and he was trained. Armendir's father and mother died very young in Elven years, so Armendir by all rights is the pride of his family line and also the very last of his family, and is charged with ensuring that his blood line continues on through his own children one day. Now Armendir constantly hones his skills with not only the bow, but the blade, his dedication remains with both the Knights and his homeland which he never knew, and his aspirations being one day he can visit his homeland just one time.

Knight's Raiment: Its is important to note that Armendirs Raiment is a set of armor and weapons that were passed down from father to son for many a year. This particular set of raiment can never be used by anyone not of Armendirs bloodline including his weapons.The magical property's imbued into his Raiment would just make anyone not of his bloodline sluggish, weak, and just a complete utter useless sog until it is taken off or dropped. The effects are immediate and last as long as you hold or equip his Raiment, and then slowly wears off when you drop it.



Skills:

Ancient scripture: Armendir has a special ability one in which has found him invaluable when traveling to ancient lands if the time calls for it. Armendir is born with a natural ability to look at ancient scripture and analyze it then read with it with little to no effort. It is unknown how this is possible at least by human standards. But there is a tail in Elvish culture that speaks of a child being born every 1000 years who has this particular ability. This is the only known explanation for this ability and the one that is mostly widely accepted by others.

Cooking: Like most of his kind Armendir is good at cooking, an ability which is very useful if out in the country side where finding normal ingredients are next to impossible. Armendir has a great knowledge of plants, and where to find them plus wild life that may be in the area. All of which are useful if you are running low on food and need something safe to eat at a moments notice. This skill also contributes to another skill which Armendir is special in.

Herbalism: Armendir has a very wide knowledge of plants which contributes to the fact that he also knows the same components which can be the healing effects that certain plants can have on certain wounds. This make him invaluable in a battle, with his natural Elven medical skills, he can take it a step further and make remedies which can be the difference between life and death for comrades.

Weapon special: Bow: Armendir is an expert with bow type weapons, he can use from short bow to long bow with deadly precision. He is able to make long shots and also a more rare shot where he can use multiple arrows up to three or four in one shot and spread them out to hit enemies that are coming in a line. His bow is merely and extension of his arm.

Weapon special: Sword: Armendir is a sword expert, while in reality his sword skills pale in comparison to his Bow skills, he is an formidable foe when it comes to different sword styles. He mainly uses long sword and is actually more or less restricted to long sword in the long run, his knowledge of other blade types is lacking which can be a bad thing and a good thing in some cases.

Magistra:

Healing Hands: Healing hands is a particular useful magical ability which make Armendir able to heal different types of wounds and in special cases can also cure someone of poison that has been put into their body. This ability however does come with a cost, and that is the fact that the larger or worse the wound is, the more energy magical wise that he will have to use to heal the wound. The effects of this spell can lead to dangerously low amounts of energy both magically and physically, in the worse case scenario, his inability to fight in battle until his energy regains.

Piercing Veil: This is the second and only know magical ability that Armendir has, this ability allows him to imbue a small to large portion of his own magical energy into the arrows he uses with his special family line bow. The shot in comparison to a normal shot is twenty times more lethal, and this ability allows Armendir to pierce many type of armor with little effort with his arrows. However like Healing Hands this ability is also very costly in a battle, Armendir depending on the amount of magical energy he uses will be weakened every time he uses this ability and the same effects will apply like in healings hands. Which in the end makes this magical ability deadly but also one that can not always be used or used a lot in one setting.

Thank you Lionheart When I read the OOC talk after putting up my bio I realized you said it was closed for applications and was hoping you would like my bio enough to take me in, this RP looks like it is gonna have a really good story line ^^

It was your Raiment that intrigued me most of all. I like the fact that they are ideals, I assume held by the character. This gives more credence to the perfect weapon aspect. You know, my ideals are my weapons, my honor is my armor. It gives the basis for a very interesting character and I look forward to seeing him fleshed out.

I am really into those types of ideals, things having a lot of meaning not just random things thrown together for the heck. It is why I love the Elven culture, and chose and Elven race as my character, my real taste coming from Lord of the Rings. How they were not just known for their abilities in combat, but also for the ages of culture that they brought with them, the deepness of every Elven man and woman, always a story behind them. An like the Elven race everything about him is steeped in deep tradition and honor just like his race.

"A war is not just fought and won through violence and blood shed, but also through wisdom and learning through the pain and loss of our comrades. Only when we understand such principles will we ever truly find peace in the world."
- Armendir

Just an example of who my character will grow to be and is.

Uh, I thought you told us a raiment was summoned for each person at the age of ten?

That is correct. A Knight's Raiment is projected at age 9-10 and is the perfect weapon for the Knight who uses it. Now who is to say he didn't project his family's heirlooms? Or at least Weapons that looked like them. I can't speak for where the actual weapons might be but perhaps those aren't actually them? Maybe because he has been so distanced from his family he's never even seen the weapons, just their names and that they exist. I don't know, and it's up to Rai to determine that.

I can't say what he's thinking, but I read that it's the actual objects, not a copy. He said "they can only be used by members of his bloodline"

learning through the pain and loss of our comrades. Only when we understand such principles will we ever truly find peace in the world.

This bit reminds me of Pein from Naruto. Hopefully the wisdom bit will help him temper his attitudes and not turn him into a homicidal sociopath.

Lion after all that happened I'm pretty sure we're all waiting to see whether the falcon reacts to Ancient Elven Bird Whistling better than it did to Plain Regular Bird Whistling before doing anything.

Next time on The Falcon Whisperer: Angry Half-Asleep Bird Mumbling!

Ok guys I will clear this up, I was vague when I put in my family heirloom items. The weapons he has now are in fact similar to his family's heirlooms however they are no where near the same. They can mimic certain aspects but they are nothing like the family heirlooms. He does know what they look like because his father whom he seen rarely was the one who wielded the heirlooms before he died. Armendir does not have them, or does he know where they went since his father died, I wanted to describe the weapons so if the time came in the RP for him to obtain them you would know. But in hindsight I should have stated they were not the real ones an I apologize for the confusion, and I hope this clears up the conversation.

A character list has been added to the OP. Also it seems Gisk has withdrawn from the RP.

Really? I can understand the more soothing part, but I think an elf and a samurai have pretty similar dispositions. "More calm and diplomatic" my ass, it's not like Minato acts like I do.

*Crosses arms and huffs, pauses, and huffs again*

It's the elf's natural charm and disposition towards animals, it's more of a racial trait. An unnatural grace that soothes most in proximity.

That explains the soothing part, but if anything Minato is MORE calm and diplomatic than him. That's the part i'm calling you on.

Honestly i'm just complaining because i'm bored out of my skull right now.

Well, you know, it would have been nice if elf-boy also had the slightest reaction to Dry, but I guess Elves are finetuned to ignore dwarves and half-dwarves.

Oh crap lol I completely forgot your chary had said something to me. Apologies ^^ ill have Armendir get you an ale later on to make up ;)

So uh, yeah feel free post, get ready for the courtyard, have breakfast, talk, you know have some fun.
