Strategic thinking: Javian's a damn good tactician. He commands, and he conquers, taking his own and his team's abilities into account whenever he gets to planning. He thinks something through thoroughly before taking to action. Javian tries his hardest to keep his head cool, and his thinking objective when he's planning a tactic. Charismatic: Javian's got the attitude of a knight. He shows authority and pondus to those around him, and it's shown in both his actions and words. He's a gentleman, and everyone knows it. Javian's able to calm down a situation before it gets worsened thanks to his charisma. [b]Equipment:[/b] His spearblade is his most obvious weapon, meant to offer the reach of a spear, the power of an axe, and the edge of a sword. He carries his father's kukri with him on his hip. On his shoulder, there's his shoulderpad, used to belong to his father, it's made out of mostly bronze, allowing Javian to amplify his spirit through it. [b]Backstory:[/b] Javian's father, Northstar Sr. Was a Dragon Slayer, pretty old, in his 60's when his son came into the world.. Sr. Was the only surviving member of the original Bronze Brigade, he had retired from the brigade a long time ago, but was still hailed as a honorary member of the brigade, and recognized as such by the people of Ashnator. Javian was born with high-expectations, to become a great warrior like his father. Javian's mother, Bella, got very sick when Javian was very young, so he never got to know his mother. He lived in the shadow of his father his entire childhood, and his father echoed in his life. He enlisted into the Martial Academy at the age of 11, as would all who wanted to join the military. He showed great promise, not only as a warrior, but also as a leader. Javian's father died when Javian was 16 years old, leaving the young boy, and people in the city, and in the brigade hurting. But Javian tried to move on with his life, inherenting his father's sword, and the piece of armor he had kept for over 50 years. Javian, was unlike his father, unable to manipulated wind, but instead able to manipulated the earth below him, allowing him to still perform powerful feats with his spear. Javian had been a candidate for the Brigade for the last two years, but not seen to be emotionally ready, despite proving to be one of the most powerful young candidates the City Of Bronze have to offer. But this time, it will be his time to shine. Leaving his old position as one of the 12 Captains of the Militia for the brigade. [b]Other:[/b] All characters do not have to have a military background to join the brigade. Javian's more of an exception than a rule.
