Name: Kalte
Appearance:
Apparent Age: Very early twenties
Gender: Male
Nation: Raised in Grado. Born in Carcino.
Class: Mercenary

Level: 4
Background: Born in Carcino, Kalte traveled with an old merchant, Larkson, as long as he could remember. From a young age business man brought Kalte from place to place all over the continent, while Kalte wasn't sure if he even had any real relation to the man. However he didn't complain, Larkson acted as a father figure to him, showing him beautiful sights and teaching him many things. Kalte enjoyed his time on the road and holds the precious memories dearly to his heart. However during the their travels in Grado, Larkson's age began to wear on him and it wasn't long before he fell ill. He entrusted Kalte with what little fortune he had left and told Kalte, now a teenager, to find his way to the Capital and enlist in the military, as Grado's Emperor would likely never turn down an able young man.
So Taking the advice Kalte made his way to Grado's Capital. After finding his way to the castle. He begged and pleaded to be enlisted. Eventually he came in contact with Garric, a prominent Sword Master, of the Grado military, or what remains of it. Garric saw Kalte and agreed to take him on as his squire. Kalte spent many years enduring Garric's rigorous training. It was very apparent why Grado was once such a strong nations as the training he endured would surely break the will of most men. However the fruits of his labor paid off and he eventually graduated. He had grown into quite the strong warrior, not many his age could match him, due to his strong master.
Now Kalte had become a mercenary of sorts. Though he is very fond of the Grado Empire. He mostly would travel and assist villages with minor problems that didn't require full military attention. That way he still served the military. He acted more like an agent than a mercenary in those regards. His ties to the Grado Empire is what led him to be in the Castle when Jehanna attacked. He was there telling his master what about his travels, but was quick to take up a blade to the attackers.
Plot-Susceptive: Yes, that's the most important part.
Equipment and Items:
-Iron Blade
-Vulnerary
Personality: Very strong willed and calm. Though he may seem rather careless and reckless since he likes to take the frontline, his master however taught him to always have a backup plan. Loves to spar and practice his swordsmanship. In practice fights and everyday life he often acts a little carefree and jokingly, but will get serious in the face of real danger.
Ability Assessment: Kalte is very strong and skilled with a blade, as Garric's training pushed the human body's limits to the extreme. Overall he is rather well-rounded in most skills because of his masters style of training. However his knowledge of magic and defending from it is very limited. Despite the mages and shaman at Grado he never actually fought magic users before. So it's his main weakness as most weren't too fond of training with him, and when they did, they hardly went all out. Kalte's main abilities are his offensive capabilities. His skill and strength allow him to hit the sweet spots and with a lot of force. Being on the frontlines he can take damage, but he prefers to strike first. Especially against mages as he is not too fond of catching on fire.
Quirks/Talents/Aspirations/Other:
-Quite the haggler after watching his foster father, Larkson, haggle as a merchant.
-Favorite weapon is the the sword. He want's to become talented enough to take on even skilled lance users some day.
-Enjoys travelling and camping under the stars. Also loves music and dancing as he was surrounded by it at a young age. Has a habit of humming tunes while walking and practicing.
-Magic really freaks him out, he doesn't understand it at all. In combat he doesn't mind as long as it's not pointed at him, but it still gives him an uneasy feeling.
-Loves finding treasures and listening to old legends and tales, especially those about treasure.
R-button Summarization: A strong-willed Swordsman his master can be proud of.

Since you seemed fairly open to NPC creation, I made a Sword Master if you don't mind. I don't have many plans for him IC wise besides his existence for character development and background. Though I have idea's of what to do with him if you want help thinking of any.
