Personality: Samuel is a quiet and reserved man who almost never betrays what’s on his mind. Not given to highs and lows of emotion in any circumstance, he’s often perceived as a cold, fearsome figure, and it’s not far off the mark. He’s dispassionate, awkward in social situations, and relentlessly task-oriented, with very little time for what he perceives as nonsense.
About the only thing he is openly passionate about is his loyalty to the royal family, to whom he feels he owes everything in his life. There is nothing he would not do for them, and consequently he is known as among their most feared servants, bordering on their attack dog, for he is utterly ruthless in their protection and service and would scour the nation for any threat to them, if they commanded it of him.

Hobbies: Fancies himself something of a poet, when he’s not working.
Fears: Fire, Failure
Likes: The woods, rain, poetry, dogs, birds, a good pair of boots.
Dislikes: Housecats, small talk, kids, salads, incompetence, holier-than-thou attitudes.

Talents & Powers

A listing of unique talents, magic, or posscessions. Royalty and Knight Commands may have one two major and two minor. Knights 1st rank may have one major and two minor. Knights 2nd rank may have two minor. Knights 3rd rank may have one minor. Nobles may have one minor.

• Necessity (Artifact/Major): A great oak longbow infused with the power of the wind, granting its wielder the ability to knock an arrow, aim and fire at blinding speeds. The arrows themselves can be empowered to cause a gust of wind as they travel, but only Samuel knows precisely how to make them do that. Legend holds that the bow was made specifically for him, after he outwitted the last Woodwitch and learned her true name – a fanciful story to be sure, but he’s never confirmed nor denied it.
• Windborne (Power/Major): Samuel can call upon the winds to bear him aloft, thus granting him a limited power of flight (when he’s outside, at least). He gained this power when he interrupted a Woodwitch ritual to summon a Primordial Spirit of the Wind, instead having the entity become partially bound to him.
• The Everbag (Artifact/Minor): A small purse enchanted to have the carrying capacity of a massive backpack – Samuel uses it to carry all his camping equipment without being encumbered. A gift from the queen from when he was made Knight Commander.
• Farsight (Power/Minor): Samuel can ‘zoom in’ his vision, essentially functioning as a built-in spyglass. Also a side effect of interrupting the ritual.

History

Parents: Deceased.
Siblings: Older Brother, Younger Sister. Deceased.
Childhood: Born in a small cabin in the woods near Azure Gate, Samuel was the child of a woodsman and his wife. He had a happy childhood being taught the craft of his father, until one fateful day when he was fifteen years old that his home was consumed in a forest fire, taking his entire family with it.
Adulthood: From then on, Samuel lived on his own, at times more beast than man, sticking to the woods and honing the skills of his father. He might have lived that way forever, were it not for one day he explored deeper in the woods than ever before. In an ancient glen unknown to human eyes, he came upon six creatures known as Woodwitches, old and malicious and terrible. The Woodwitches were engaged in a ritual to summon a being of primordial wind, for they felt that the nearby city was an affront to them and sought to lay waste to it. Samuel blundered into the middle of the ritual and became imbued with a strange power, narrowly escaping from the witches with his life. Without knowing why, he flew immediately to the capital and demanded an audience with the queen, where he explained what he had seen – the next day he led a company of soldiers to the clearing and scattered the Woodwitches to the corners of the forest. In gratitude, the queen knighted him and placed him in charge of hunting them down – when this was completed several years later he was made Knight Commander, the long arm of the Queen, a position he has served faithfully in for years since.
Special Moments: The death of his family, the incident that gave him his powers.
Current Events: Samuel is a queensman through and through, and has been training his special order of knights to seek and eliminate any threats to her. He was recently called back from their large camp in the woods to investigate this new threat to the kingdom, having not been in the city for several months prior.

Anything Else: -

@TheWindel - The only slight I see is where her spells and items originated from - excluding her blade, which was handed down. Like where did the items come from and where did she learn the spell? Otherwise I think she's an excellent character. ^.^

Kolburn’s trademark hat and coat are always seen on her figure; besides that, a variety of shirts and skirts serve as her day-to-day attire. She always keeps her blade on her at all times.

_{☪ S T R E N G T H S ☪}

Kolburn’s strength lies in her sheer ability as a sword-fighter, bolstering power, speed, and precision in her blows. She also possesses incredible leadership skills and can belt out a smart military tactic or two when she can be bothered for them.

_{☪ W E A K N E S S E S ☪}

Kolburn’s weaknesses reside in her emotions. Despite her cold exterior, she is easy to anger and will lash out with action before considering them first. She’s also horrible in average interaction and diplomacy. Furthermore, she only knows about one spell and lacks a large magical reserve.

A cold, often domineering woman, Kolburn is one who takes no excuses. Always quick to follow her instincts, she is often shrugging other’s opinion to do what she feels what must done. Unfortunately, this kind of mentality has put her at odds with others before and she’s no stranger to heated arguments of conflicts of interest. Despite this, it’s been said that she’s actually a nice person once one can overlook her glaring tendencies to shove others away. Above all things, she despises being controlled unless it is a necessary sacrifice, fiercely, scarily, loyal to those she considers her fellow comrades. Even if she does appear impossible to approach sometimes.

_{☪ H A B I T S ☪}

Kolburn has a habit of adjusting her hats in times of serious nature. Whatever it does, it sure works in intimidation. She also has a bad habit of apologizing profusely when found at fault with; either that or jumping to conclusions and sparking debates.

☪ Wayfinder (Power/Major): Kolburn’s one and only spell would be one of the offensive nature. With it she has the ability to conjure forth up to nine blades and use them freely in combat. She has complete range and control over these ethereal swords, using them either in close combat or as ranged weaponry. It was taught to her by her mother.

☪ Coiled Fort (Tool/Minor): A whip that serves both as a tool of discipline and as a weapon. Coated in black and kept at her side, Kolburn can also use it for ranged combat as well. It was received from her mother.

☪ Eclipsed Princess (Weapon/Major): The sword that has proven tried and true for Kolburn many a situation. While it holds no special properties, the Knight Commander’s sheer skill with it have shown it to be a deadly weapon regardless.

Both alive, though Kolburn doesn’t speak about them much.

_{☪ S I B L I N G S ☪}

Kolburn is a single child.

_{☪ B I O G R A P H Y ☪}

Kolburn’s life has always been for the sole pursuit of getting stronger. Be it among her peers or among herself, the prospect of becoming powerful as always appealed to her. As a child, she made sure to do the best she could in all her studies. While this kind of behavior isolated her from most of her friends, some stuck true to her with their loyalty. That same loyalty remained in both herself and her comrades as they each progressed through life. After being given the rank of Knight, she slowly rose above to greater authority before finally becoming the rank of Knight Commander. Now with her newfound power, she yearns to put her skills towards the greater good of defending Azura’s Gate.

_{☪ S P E C I A L M O M E N T S ☪}

Kolburn remembers the day she became a Knight Commander fondly. Her former superior gave her both the sword she wields today as well as the rank that she now bears proudly in Azure’s Gate.
