Sheilo [+]

Sheilo is a rather rough an grunt looking individual who stands at a rather tall height of 6'7" in Hylian terms. He is a in some cases a blonde haired purple eyed dream boat that all that girls would love, while he is a tough muscle bound well toned monster to others. Born with a natural tan and a large frame Sheilo looks at if he spends all his time in the sun working out. His ears are sharply pointed at the top of the tips and perfectly rounded at the bottom with a petite yet fitting nose on his face. Even for his age he appears rather younger then most would consider him, his body is covered in Goron tattoos from head to toe in several different places depicting that he is in himself a goron. Like most goron he prefers to walk around with little to no cloths on except for his shorts and wrappings around his feet to help protect from the more harsher elements.

Age:
31

Species:
Hylian / Goron

Weapons and Equipment [+]

Dok'lor`e [+]

Sheilo's first weapon is a large two handed scythe named Dok'lor`e which loosely translated into Hylian terms means 'Blade of Protection'. This two handed scythe was special made by the finest blacksmith of the Gorons as a gift to Sheilo. The weapon is approx. at its total length from tip to bottom 6 feet long, the blades dimensions are 3 feet in total width. The pole of the weapon is adorned with special Goron fabrics and elegantly marked with Goron markings. The total weight of this blade is equaled at about one hundred pounds and is extremely lethal if wielded right.

Armor of the Goron [+]

Sheilo wears a set of armor that is mainly used by the Gorons who protect others, the armor is made of a special metal that is incredibly heavy but also a metal that offers great protection. The armor is mostly individual pieces of leather with metal attached underneath the leather that goes over certain parts of the body, meant to protect vital organs. However Sheilo does not having the usual tough hide that Gorons have by birth. He was made a special set of armor that forms in one piece and covers his upper body more efficiently.

Skills:

- Two handed weapons: Sheilo is a master of two handed weapons that usually require a lot of strength and precision to wield. He is deadly lethal with these weapons especially Scythes which is his specialty. Trained by special Goron protectors he is dedicated to his art, his will to protect his family his motivation. Given his size of his strength he is able to use these weapons faster then others making him a adversary to one who is not prepared to face him.

-Strength: Sheilo is what you might consider hell of a strong person, having spent his entire life among power houses who could lift rocks the size of a house with ease, naturally Sheilo inspired to become that strong and drove his dedication to gaining the same strength as the Gorons. While he has not reached that exact goal, his training and determination have improved his strength beyond most normal Hylians.

-Endurance: Like almost any Goron does, Sheilo has and abundance of endurance to back him up in any sort of situation. Training like a Goron is among the most extreme training methods in the world, and most are unable to keep up with the Gorons rock like endurance. Sheilo is able to keep going well after his limit if his or another life is on the line, and he is more then used to taking a hit and getting back up for more.

- Loving: While being a lover is not usually considered a skill it is sort of a prerequisite for most Gorons, while there is always a little fighting here and there and some distrust to outsiders, Gorons are rather nice and peaceful people if not provoked and Sheilo has grown up learning this live himself. He cares little for wealth or for gratification for anything he does, he is simple in a lot of ways and just wants to protect those he loves.

Flaws:

- Speed: Where these is strength there is usually not much speed, like many of the Gorons Sheilo is rather slow having concentrated on his strength then how fast he could cover distance. While he has a rather rock hard defense given his strength his speed is a major upset when it comes to an opponent that is way faster then he is. Up until this point living with the Gorons he has not meant many who are fast either way, which makes it a bigger weakness for now.

- Wholehearted: Lets face it Sheilo had lived with a rather peace living race his whole life, being trained for combat to protect and ti witness it first hand are two different things when it comes down to it. While Sheilo is no stranger then protecting his Goron family from potential threats, his perceptions on evil intention people are severely lacking. Growing up with honest Gorons his whole life he prefers to see the best in others before the worst which can make his decisions conflicted. He does not wish to harm anyone, but if its to protect others he will.

- Impressionable: Sheilo is not and complete idiot however he does not know as much of the world outside his Goron family like others do. Again knowing something and seeing it for yourself are two different things, and in that respect Sheilo lacks any real world knowledge. Sheilo would probably be trusting enough to lend his weapon to a would be thief if it would help them and not realize the mistake. Again it all goes back to his trust in the better of people then the worst and his little experiences with the real world only makes it worse.


Bio:
Sheilo does not know when he was born, sheilo does not know who his mother and father were or are, an most of all Sheilo does not know any other world then the Gorons philosophy and this suits him fine. After all one can hardly miss something they never truly knew or had. Sheilo was just a baby when he was found on the mountainside by an Goron Elder who was out for a stroll that particular night. From that moment on Sheilo was taken in by the Gorons and with a few hitches here and there and the realization that Hylian babies don't eat rocks, Sheilo grew up to be a fine young man in respects. He grew up believing in the beliefs of his Goron brothers, to love not to hate, to protect family with life and above all else to always be honorable. Sheilo never wished for anything in life and lived for the most part a simple life. From the moment he could understand he was fascinated by the Gorons and their ways, he strives so much to be like them and to become a loyal brother to them. He trained hard like no other Hylian could, he became a part of the Gorons family, by time he was becoming a man he was as much a Goron as any other Goron. Once a man he decided to become a Goron protector, so he began his training in the art of two handed weapons, a specialty of the Gorons due to their strength, in a few short years he had taken to the training extremely well and soon enough he was a gifted individual in the way of combat. By the age of twenty five he received the tattoos of the Gorons which was in reality a painful process but he now bares them with pride. Now at the age of thirty one it seems that dark times are ahead, the Goron Elders have felt an evil on the horizon, one that could spell doom, hearing the call of Princess Zelda far up in the mountains Sheilo has decided to answer, the want and the need to protect his Goron family his motivations. He travels out into the world for the first time ever.

Bio:
For as long as anyone can remember the Nordins lived at the base of the Snowpeak mountains. The family name is likely connected to this but whether that is true is lost to time, as is why they chose to live there. However popular belief is that it has to do with the weapons the family made and sold. Rivaling even some Goron craftsmanship Nordin weapons were heavy hitters, War hammers, Battle axes, Broad swords, long swords, spears. The weapons they made were sturdy and ice cold to the touch, some curse of the mountains. Nevertheless if one was in the market for heavy weaponry Nordin was the high end and hard to come by, the only way to get them was to travel to the Nordins themselves. Naturally Blacksmithing was the family tradition but Wylin would never be the blacksmith her brother was, she was a fighter and the family could see it. She learned what she could from visitors and her family, taking bits and pieces of techniques she became an avid fighter. Her specialty was spears. She was promised a family treasure a double sided halberd as soon as she could wield it. Her family would not live to see that day.

It was just a house fire, no assassination, no murder, no big fight. Just a stupid house fire. It was summer time then and that meant there were warmer days and nights, Wylin loved the night sky and went to go find it while her family slept. There would be no house when she came back, she would never quite understand why the fire started but it never felt right. Not that she could have investigated, the one night she had left them was the one night that had mattered. In a fit of self loathing she set off to the mountains, it was an act of suicide but it had made sense at the times. Starving and weak she walked for 3 days until she collapsed, ready to die on the mountain her family had loved. That was not to be, a traveler had tracked her from the burnt ruins of her home and caught her on the brink of death. After being nursed back to health he decided to teach Wylin a thing or two, his heart wasn't big he wanted the money a fighter like her could bring in. His intent was to buy a weapon but instead he gained an apprentice, the man was a mercenary as Wylin would one day become one as well. Why she would follow in the footsteps of a man who forced her to kill is a questions she still asks herself regularly. She would eventually kill him after he tried to force her to kill innocent beings. This past is not a thing she talks about willingly and she rarely uses her last name.

Her family died 8 years ago, she killed her 'mentor' 3 years ago and now a country she hardly knows calls her to save them, the situation must have been worse than she thought.

I'm super interested. Can I still join up?

<Snipped quote by Sapphire>

Okay, so, I would like to know more about why he forced her to kill innocents and if he saved her, why did she kill him? A little more depth and perspective into what was going on in Wylin's head would be appreciated. Also, some more description on the flaws would be nice and I'm not sure strength and endurance are skills. More like attributes. It's also sort of hard to read, so it would be appreciated if you spread it out more. In the future as well, many GMs would be grateful if you waited before posting in the Character Section.

<Snipped quote by The Survivor>

originally I had it noted that it needs work and you're definitely right. I posted in the char section on accident and I'm really sorry. It was just a bad idea to push to get it finished tonight because that's not my A game or the impression I want you to have of me, its late where I live and I should have just finished it tomorrow. The bio is probably going to have another paragraph I think so there will be more explanation.

As of right now she's not well put together but I have all my ideas there, at least that's something.

@Zeroth I really like Seeker.

It's done! @The Survivor

Bio [+]

For as long as anyone can remember the Nordin family has crafted weapons from their home at the base of the snow peak mountains. Beautiful weapons made of snowpeak metal, a material cold as ice and difficult to work with. As far as Hylian weapons went theirs were some of the best. Naturally, blacksmithing was the family tradition and trade, one Wylin could not say she excelled at. Her brother had once, but she was always better at using and caring for the weapons. It came naturally to her, the strength that she needed to lift such heavy weapons didn't. Not to say Wylin was weak, considering her age and size she was strong but not strong enough, not for a while. With age came greater strength, augmented by her training, the Nordin's would find her able to use the family weapons at a much younger age than expected. She showed skill with war hammers and in sword play but her true gift was in spears. As such it was to no one's surprise when she claimed an old family heirloom, a double sided halberd, as her own. It wouldn't be long until her family couldn't keep up with her progress. From that point on much of her training would come from visiting warriors in the business for a Nordin weapon. It was in that early part of her life that Wylin dreamed of becoming a knight of Hyrule, protecting people and stopping evil. She had drive and determination then, hope and optimism too.

That would all change in the short span of a few days.

Wylin assumes it happened in the middle of the night during the summer of her 15th year, based on speculation as she was not there at the time. Restless, Wylin had set off to a secluded clearing where she frequently trained and blew off steam away from her family and the house. Hours passed, she lost track of time and was startled to see the sun begin to rise. Wylin headed home expecting a lecture, she found something much more horrifying. The house was a pile of smoking rubble, every thing was gone except for the armor and halberd she had with her and her father's sword. He took it to the grave with him, protecting his family, like she should have been. That morning she buried her family. For a short time she refused to move or help herself, at the time she had wanted to die but life had something else in store for her

Two days after the attack a traveler looking for the Nordin family found her, the man was no saint and its likely he would have let her die if he hadn't thought she could tell him where her family's weapons had gone. As soon as she was well enough to talk the man interrogated her, when she revealed she had nothing for him but what was left he took her father's sword and was going to leave her to die but he stopped and did the only act of kindness she had ever witnessed from him. He asked her if she was any good at fighting, she told him she was the best in her family. Skeptical, he then asked her why she had been unable to protect her family. She hadn't been there and told him as much. After a moment he told her she was now his apprentice and if she was lying about her skill or disobeyed him that she was going to wish she had died with the rest of her family. That was the only promise she ever trusted him to keep.

This man, her new 'mentor', was mercenary and not the good kind. Morality meant nothing to him, neither did lives. He was driven by only one thing, money. To that extent he was trustworthy, he would always get the job done. No extraneous questions or going back on deals. Even though she hated him Wylin learned a thing or two from him about people and how to stay alive in a business as violent as theirs. The jobs they took were never clean, only dirty jobs paid enough to be worth taking. Sometimes they took jobs for bandits, infiltrating towns and weakening them. Sometimes they took jobs for corrupt mayors, taking care of families who refused to pay ridiculous taxes. Sometimes their targets wouldn't even fight back, that was when her mentor had her do the dirty work for him. He was a terrible man but whatever scrap of a conscious he had was bothered by killing defenseless beings. Wylin had no choice to follow, the few times she dissented all ended horribly. This lasted for three years and would have gone on longer if not for a fateful injury. A job had gone south and her mentor had taken an arrow to the side. He was unable to continue fighting, he ordered her to finish the job but her chance had arrived. He sensed her anger and tried to plead with her, he had saved her life after all. For that she was grateful, his death was a quick one.

Though she was free she was lost, with out a purpose she disappeared from all civilization for a few months. Wylin would return, stronger and with the determination to balance at least some of the the evil she had done with good. She could never be a knight but she could help people. She took only clean jobs and refused any payment besides the bare minimum for necessities. Wylin may never forgive herself but its likely she'll die trying.

Her family died 8 years ago, she killed her 'mentor' 5 years ago and now the land she once terrorized calls her to save them, the situation must have been worse than she thought.
