”His appearance was ragged, his face hidden behind the opaque shadow of his worn mask." APPEARANCE Beringer is 6'2" and 178 lbs, he has a fair complexion synonymous with nobility, his elegant features and indifferent demeanor accentuate his aloof appearance.

DOMAIN (Portfolio) Experience (Mastery)
DOMAIN (Portfolio) DESCRIPTION/EXPLANATION There are many different techniques in the world, both physically and mentally. From cooking to killing, with enough skill, everything becomes an art. The beauty of the many arts and forms of the world create a collage of beauty that Beringer pursues. Rather than create, he enjoys what has been created. He has no specialty but he could be considered the technical master of many arts. With absolute coordination and impeccable perception of both his own movements as well as the movements of others, his mastery is unmatched by human and demigod alike. Unfortunately, where Beringer is incredibly dexterous and coordinated, he lacks the physical prowess of other demigods. Although his strength and speed is on a different level from a human standpoint, he could be considered a runt before the physical prowess of other demigods. As he has no interest in affecting the world that he enjoys so thoroughly, his effect on the world has been almost zero; accordingly, one would have to specifically look for him to actually know where he was, but he has become of little circumstance to gods or other humans for that matter. He leaves no footstep upon the ground and no imprint upon the world.
DOMAIN ABILITES
-=Absolute Coordination=- To become a master in any sort of skill, one must of impeccable dexterity and total control over their own body. Beringer has unquestionable mastery over his own body down to the slightest twitch.
-=Mastery=- Beringer did not begin knowing the optimal movements and skills of each and every art of the world. No, his power is in the expeditious rate of growth in whatever he sets his mind to and the absolute mastery he reaches at the apex of technical prowess.
-=Crossover=- Beringer has the knowledge and mastery of many different skills, accordingly, he can apply his knowledge of one skill to another. Such as medical aid to combative strikes.
-=Professional Deduction=- Beringer has mastered countless martial arts and combative techniques throughout his life. Amidst battle, he is able to analyze his opponent's fighting style and adapt accordingly using his vast mastery.
-=Percieve=- Beringer’s extensive understanding of many skills and artforms, he is able to read the movements of others and predict the outcome fairly accurately. He does not have computer-like accuracy such as measuring exact trajectories or qualities on a numerical basis, but he can generate cause and effect estimate with a strong degree of accuracy, such as the tensing of certain muscles would lead him to believe that a high kick aimed for his upper torso was about to be launched, or that the movements of a cook would give understanding to the quality of the cook’s food prior to the food’s preparation. Habit that give way to information about certain areas of expertise.
”I have lead a foolish life, but I do not regret it.” HISTORY Although his body may not show it, Beringer is old, to the point that he can recall all of humanity’s history. He was not present for the initial creation of humans, but rather, in the second generation, he was born. Although Beringer’s blood contained the essence of Astarte, he blended notably well with humans. He grew at the same rate as the rest, the only unique feature being the odd speed at which he grasped concepts and abilities such as speech or farming. He walked before his similarly aged peers could walk and spoke before they walked. However peculiar his mental growth seemed, those around him continued to cherish him and his life was without want as his joy was in his growth
He laughed and loved, wept and shouted. He had learned with the rest of humanity, and although he learned at a much faster rate, he never separated himself from his fellow race. Humanity underwent subjugation from many angles and their survivability was low. Beringer had learned to survive with what he had learned and his resourcefulness and by the age of 20, he had mastered numerous fighting styles, and eventually, numerous forms of magic. The world had an allure to it that Beringer consistently pursued. To experience the world and exemplify it in its many arts became the dominating factor of Beringer’s existence. He spent the majority of his time learning, mastering the many arts of the world, the magics, the swordsmanship, and the liberal arts. Throughout all of his journeys, the one constant was the Astartian pendant that dangled from his neck. The origin of the pendant, Beringer lack the knowledge, but he has always held an attachment to the pendant and has cherished it as his.
Recently, Astartian Marks similar to his pendant have begun to spread, even to the knowledge of the reclusive wanderer, thus, Beringer has begun to follow the trail of crumbs towards the corrupted Astarte. His current objective is to find the source of his origin and unique talents.
"This grotesque slaughter is unsightly, leave, or I will remove such eyesores from this world" PERSONALITY Beringer is nothing if not passive. His actions can be ranked widely from the greatest samaritan to the most ruthless of evils, each and every action is done without kindness or malice. Experience is what he pursues, be it standing over subjects as a king or working as a grunt in a shoddy mercenary company. He has many homes and no home at all, he merely wanders the world in search of beauty, if his pursuit calls for him to become emperor or a lowly peasant, he feels no qualms. He is usually indifferent, taking on a jaded demeanor, rather than being unfeeling, any overwhelming emotions are simply muted. Even Beringer isn’t sure whether this comes from his own personality or from some technique to control his emotions before they cloud his mind. His countenance tends to be cold, but his compassion for the world runs deep, and hatred has never had a place in his thoughts.
He usually doesn’t speak much.
-=Emotional Indifference=- As a blessing and a curse, Beringer’s mind will automatically mute any strong emotions that may affect his decisions greatly. Either from personality or his innate mastery of emotions, he is extremely resistant to manipulation on an emotional level, but without such strong emotions, it can be argued that he cannot truly enjoy living, but no matter how much frustration stems from such an ability, it is muted.
ALIGNMENT True Neutral. He wishes to live in the beauty and dabble in the arts of the world, everything else tends to be of little circumstance, although his sense of beauty tends to be arbitrary and opinionated.
MUSICAL THEME
EQUIPMENT
”It smells of death and...allspice.” The armor has no unique properties beyond its large range of movement and wide variety of scents.
”In the moment between life and death, one can only look forward into the abyss and acknowledge just how dark death can be.” A matte black blade stretching a full 160 centimeters, absorbs all light and reflect absolutely nothing. Extremely durable, but no other unique properties.
”What is it? Useless...probably.” The Astartian Mark in the form of a pendant that has remained with Beringer since his beginnings. It has no special properties that Beringers knows of.
”To have both elegance and practicality is a gift that only the gods may give.” Armored gauntlets engraved with careful elegance and imbued with the ability to aid in channeling various magics, it cannot give magical capabilities, but serves as an enhancement. Made even more lethal by Beringer’s mastery of most known magics aside from Necromancy. It is also notably durable and built to withstand strikes of a blade.
Awesome! Will do. Also, is there a character type that's in demand? I'd prefer to just throw in a demi-human, but if we need more gods or heroes I can roll with those too.
I wanted to post really bad, but then I realized that Vesuvius had yet to post. I think I may have given her a lack of content to post on so I might start working on one now.
