Basic Information
Name: Joric Valgard
Age: 33
Sex: Male
Birthplace: A foreign land to the north known as Asgeir, home of the Varan.
Profession: Warrior/Bodyguard/Mercenary/Adventurer
Caste: Freeman; he does not own property himself however.

Physical Description

Joric stands about 5'10, which is slightly shorter than most Varan (who stand an average of 6'0). He has a well-built body from years of working as a lumberjack, being employed as a soldier, and fighting for a living in recent years, weighing approximately 175 lbs. He has a light skin color, like most Varan, but spending time in the mild temperature of Oussard and Fraux has made him a bit darker than his kin. He has dark blue eyes, a rough stubble (and tries to keep it short and shaved), and a strong, distinctive face. He has shoulder-length dark brown hair which he usually keeps pulled back.. Most would describe him as a "rough kind of hero".

Character Story
Joric was born far in the north in a harsh wintry region known as Asgeir, home of the Varan. His mother was a housewife and his father worked the lumber mill. He grew up with his two brothers and his only sister. Like all Varan, Joric and his brothers were taught to fight from a very young age, and he eventually started to work the lumber mill with his father before becoming an actual lumber jack in the forests near his home.

Around age 20 the country of Asgeir was being invaded by the Scoatcha, a long-time neighbor of the Varan. Military doctrine in Asgeir states that all able-bodied men must pick up arms and muster together to defend their land, and so Joric and one of his brothers, along with their father, marched off to join the war effort. Joric fought in the five-year war, relishing in his victories and gaining invaluable combat experience. In its sixth year, Joric realized the war was no longer about protecting the homeland, or gaining honor, but rather it was a war of conquest: one which the High King of Asgeir was winning. Disgusted at the lack of honor and tradition, Joric abandoned his brother and father to return home.

It wasn't long before others felt the same way and a rebellion uprising began. Though small and lacking arms and supplies, the rebels employed successful guerrilla tactics that irritated the High King. Joric himself joined up with the rebels and fought alongside them to free slaves, most of which were Scoatchian slaves. Unfortunately, the rebellion began to falter and was easily crushed a year later. Joric was captured and would have been sentenced to death, but service in the Varan Military allowed him to be exiled instead, so Joric chose the latter.

Forced to leave his homeland, Joric sailed south and began a wanderer. He took up a profession of being a mercenary, bodyguard, blade-for-hire, and bounty hunter in the many places he visited. He eventually made his way into a land fraught with war between the two fiefdoms of Oussard and Fraux. Joric never took a side in the war, believing both sides were fighting for the lust of greed and power. He did, however, serve as a bodyguard, mercenary, blade-for-hire, among others for various captains and generals in the war.

But now the two forces have called together a truce to deal with a strange mist. Being the hero he was born to be, Joric takes up his sword and shield to venture into the mist with his comrades.

Equipment – Combat
Weaponry

• Sword-and-Shield Combo

Joric's go-to weapon is his steel sword. It is strong, durable, and reliable, but nothing special. The hilt is black and metallic. He also carries a round steel shield, roughly 2.3 feet in diameter, has a curved surface, and was forged by Joric himself. The shield was made in a such a way that it isn't nearly as heavy as other steel shields, but isn't quite as strong. He uses the shield to deflect the average strike or arrow, but it's not exactly capable of deflecting heavier blows (like a warhammer); he normally uses his superior agility to evade such attacks. He usually has his sword sheathed on his belt on his left hip, while his shield can rest on his left arm, or slung over his back,

• Bow and Arrows

Joric carries a quiver of arrows and a bow on his back, though he only uses them when necessary, preferring instead to close in on his opponents and fight them personally. Varan are taught how to fire a bow and how to hunt, but that's as much training as he has, so he's not particularly accurate as an experienced archer. His quiver is strapped over his back and his bow and also be strapped on his back.

Armour: A common short-sleeved white shirt is worn beneath a short-sleeved chainmail cuirass that hands down to his waist. Over this cuirass is a blue and white surcoat with tattered endings that hang down to his knees, a brown leather belt around his waist. He has brown leather pants, brown leather boots, and brown vambraces. Like all Varan, he also has his Ki'gar. the Ki'gar is roughly 4 foot long and 1 foot wide, is dyed blue with white trimmings, has the image of a black wolf's head on it, and has the family name written in Varan below the wolf's head. He normally keeps this wrapped around his neck and hanging over his shoulders, or hanging off his back like a short cape.
Auxiliary: Joric is a Varan, who are known for their brutish methods of combat. He'll pick anything up and improvise it as a weapon, whether that happens to be a rock, stick, or even his helmet. If nothing else, he'll use his brutal hand-to-hand skills to finish off his opponents, and his Varan blood makes him a relentless fighter.

Abilities – Physical
Passive Ability - Athleticism - Joric is very fit, strong, and agile. He's a capable man with great cardio and moves with great efficiency.
Passive Ability - Man-at-Arms - Joric is a skilled swordsman, although he has used and trained with various other weapons. He can pick almost any weapon on the battlefield and use it efficiently.
Passive Ability - Shield-Expert - Joric is skilled with use of a shield, especially with his own shield, which he forged himself. Joric can even his shield as an improvised weapon, using it to bash and beat his opponents.
Activated Ability - Varan Shield Wall - The Varan's most common formation during battle is to form a tight-knit shield wall to advance towards the enemy. To fight in a shield wall is to show brotherhood and unity. Advantages of the formation protects against archers, greatly improves camaraderie and morale, and can keep enemies from breaking the line. Assuming his allies would adopt such a tactic, Joric's efficiency in battle would increase greatly.
Activated Ability - Varan Charge - Varan are known for their relentless courage and daring bravery, and Joric is no different. He will charge headlong into battle, fighting multiple enemies until he is victorious or is struck down. At times the Varan may be in his world, oblivious to his allies and just kill whoever he sees as a threat.

Abilities – Magical
Joric does not have any magical abilities.[/quote]

Basic Information
Name: Jacques Aullard
Age: 23
Sex: Male
Birthplace: Fraux
Profession: Soldier
Caste: Freeman

Physical Description

A shorter man believed of larger stature most are surprised to see that Jacques barely reaches the top of their chest. Though he is rarely shorter than women, he is known as the smallest soldier among his fellows, a trait he's teased for. He takes it in good heart though and the blond haired man is rarely seen without a beaming smile of pearly whites. He's considered, to his knowledge at least, decent looking though no real stunner. He has broad shoulders and is well muscled and speaks in a deep tone making him the little package with a big punch.

Character Story

Jacques was one of six sons and eight children to his father Albert. It was tradition in the family that the first born be named after the father and Jacques was a close second seeing as he was a twin. Named instead after his oldest uncle Jacques grew up in a loud and lively household. Though they lived within Fraux the Aullard family had strong ties to the neighboring fief ruled by the Duke Blanchard. To this effect his family was sworn to two lords which made some matters dazzlingly confusing. Nonetheless his family was never too poor and held good standings with the law for the most part.

As Jacques grew older he became fond of the ideology of knighthood and protecting and serving the greater good. When he was of age he was enlisted as a man of arms with Fraux. The fief was known for its trade abilities and this resulted in a heavy military presence along the trade routes that were easily struck. With only a few good scraps to his name and no real life altering blunders Jacques had hardly seen the worst of mankind as he fended of bandits alongside his friends. He never expected to be summoned to fight against the Ouissard land though and it shook his world for the first few months.

Stationed within the reserve units he saw little blood other than that of the injured men that returned. He worked primarily as a rear security, doing watches and sometimes patrols. Though separated from his family and old friends he made new ones and made the best of what was given to him. When the retreat from the mist was sounded and the treaty signed Jacques was among the many that volunteered to enter the mist and discover its secrets.

Equipment – Combat
Weaponry:

• A standard issued spear, of nearly seven long with a simple leaf blade tip. The pole is fashioned of wood for balance.
• A short mace, more of a hammer really, is his second weapon. The head has small flanges and the whole thing is fashioned out of metal making it powerful, but tiring.

Armour: Jacques wears a soldiers typical armour. Leather boots with pants bloused at the shin. An under layer of thin leather padding atop which a chainmail hauberk is worn. He wears thick leather gloves and a metal helmet to keep his head about him. He carries a heater shield in his left hand or across his back when atop horseback.

Auxiliary: As a last resort Jacques relies on his heater shield as a weapon, using it to smash into enemies.

Abilities – Physical
Passive Ability – Hardiness: Jacques is good at taking a hit, or two or three for that matter.
Passive Ability – Cunning: He's smart and has a bit of a silver tongue and can influence some people to see his side of things.
Passive Ability – Balanced: Jacques stands steadfast at all times and is difficult to topple.
Activated Ability – Brace: Trained how to brace against cavalry bracing against simpler blows comes naturally.
Activated Ability – Rally: Bolstering the spirits of those nearby Jacques appears the leader, if only temporarily.

Basic Information
Name: Albert Aullard
Age: 23
Sex: Male
Birthplace: Fraux
Profession: None
Caste: Outlaw

Physical Description

Against a background of civilized people Albert stands out as a ruffian and a lout. His reddish hair is unkempt and messy, matted with dirt like his bear. His eyes have deep bags under them and his nose is crooked from being broken once too many times. He is average height, but lean and looks nearly malnourished. He always has a general dirtiness in his attire and person masking any chance of looking decent he may have, even if it is only appearing the part.

Character Story

Albert was one of six sons and eight children to his father Albert. It was traditional in the family that the first born son be named after the father and Albert was the first, albeit only briefly as he's a twin. Growing up in a loud and lively household Albert always roughhoused with his brothers growing up. Though they lived within Fraux the Aullard family had strong ties to the neighboring fief ruled by the Duke Blanchard. To this effect his family was sworn to two lords which made some matters dazzlingly confusing. Nonetheless his family was never too poor and held good standings with the law for the most part.

As Albert grew older he became fond of a girl his age. Chasing after her he found that her family and his were of about the same social standing and he had hoped to marry her. His lovers father had other plans though and had sealed her fate with a man of higher standing to garner financial support to purchase more land, and in turn gain more wealth. This culminated in a bloody brawl between his lovers fiance and himself that left the other man lying in the dirt with a knife in his gut. Fleeing persecution Albert became an outlaw and sought life away from prying eyes and hands that would leave him dead for a few coins.

It isn't uncommon, at least in his experience, to find other outlaws. Though he'd rather not trifle with the sort he built a good rapport among a fair amount of them and was welcomed to any table they sat at. He always swore he would return to his lover with a fortune and steal her away from her greedy father, ignoring that he knew full well she would already be married to some other wealthy man. His friends would commend him on this feat and would drink to his salvation.

Before the offer came for someone to venture into the mist to find its reason Albert and some ruffian friends were caught in the mess when traveling through roads from village to village. He began to see the mist for what it was, though it did little good for he couldn't escape.

Equipment – Combat
Weaponry:

• Though somewhat unusual that an outlaw would carry a sword Albert does in fact carry a short sword. Maintained to the best of his ability the straight blade has a simple crucifix hilt and leather bindings. He isn't an expert in its use, but is capable with it in his hand.
• Despite being a somewhat offhanded weapon the dagger that Albert holds in his left hand is the workhorse in his duels. With it he can parry and redirect blows and even turn a shield to the side to get in the guard of a pesky adversary.

Armour: Albert wears little armour. He has leather boots and plain cloth pants, wears thin gloves meant only to protect his hands and a quilted leather vest. This little armour amounts to nothing more than preventing bruising in the case of a brawl, and pales in comparison to true armour.

Auxiliary: As an absolute last resort Albert truly has nothing other than his fists. He can grapple, but it leaves him open to being poked with a dagger which he'd rather avoid.

Abilities – Physical
Passive Ability – Nimble: Quick on his feet and fast with his fingers Albert moves quickly and concisely.
Passive Ability – Perceptive: Albert has a good set of eyes and sees what a lot of others miss. He's also good at feeling out a persons limits and knows when he's pushed too far.
Passive Ability – Aggressive: Maybe too much at times, Alberts aggression makes him a hard hitter and a mean fighter.
Activated Ability – Riposte: Able to quickly work around peoples movements and anticipate their next move Albert can slip in for lethal blows.
Activated Ability – Dirty Fighting: Underhanded tricks are somewhat of a specialty and they work most of the time when he tries them.

Physical Description Cyril is a rather lanky man who some would still refer to as a boy, with jet black hair and two thick caterpillars sitting atop a pair of emerald green eyes. With a rather large nose and thin lips encased by a slight beard that has began to show on his almost baby-like face. Standing about 6'00'' flat, Cyril can easily be described as large but still doesn't seem to grasp his entire body yet often underestimating his strength and occasionally losing his footing or underestimating his height. Being raised as a squire, Cyril's body is hardened and accustomed to the tasks of a warrior and he can defend himself as one would.
