Standing 6'2", Salo is a lean, athletic fellow weighing in at around 225 lbs. Short, dark brown hair rests on his head while a light beard has begun to spring along his lower face. Spending most of his childhood with Raiders and his teens training to become a Hunter, Salo never had time or ability to relax and his body shows. Numerous scars cover his back, arms and legs from when the Raiders "trained" him. Though a healer was able to restore most of his body, faint outlines can be seen A scar cuts from his right ear to right under his nose from his first solo hunt. Another rests above his left eye, about an inch long.
Personality: "A stubborn one, much like Grizz you are." A common phrase Salohcin heard training. After his parents were killed by the Raiders who "took him in" and seeing the real world, Salo's view of the world changed drastically over his lifetime. From the peaceful life of a small town, to never knowing when your last day may be, to the rigorous training that many Hunters go through, Salohcin has seen much. So nothing this world shows him ever really surprises him. Except for the beasts and creatures the inhabit this new world. They never cease to awe and amaze him.
Seen as a argent young-en who is overly confident in his abilities, Salohcin is an ambitious fello who is always looking the next challenge. Stupid though, is not something you would call him. Liking to think outside the box, Salo sees many solutions to one problem. Those who have gotten to know him will tell you he is loyal, kind, and and strong willed. "Helping those in need, knowing even if it's in a small way, can change someone's world." Salohcin has seen, that even through all the fear, terror, and evil in this new world, there is some good.
Biography: AF 36: Born to a farmer mother and father who had just settled down. Life was simple here, but safe. Or so they believed.
AF 42: Him and his family were taken during a raid of his small town some 20 miles south of Ambrosia. Raiders "played" with his family for several days before Salohcin got a hold of a pistol. Bang. A raider falls. The gun is quickly taken from Salo. As punishment, he got to watch his parents be burnt alive. Instead of killing the boy, the raiders decided to him their servant as a reward for "Having the balls to pull the trigger on a fellow human."
AF 46: Having spent the last several years as a "raider", Salohcin had seen much. He began to hide is emotions as to reduce the number of beating he'd receive. Late one night though, chaos erupted. The raiders as of late had been getting more daring, and as such a group of mercs and hunters were hired to deal with them. In a flash the camp went from calm to ablaze. Screams could be heard well over a mile of the raiders were ambushed. Unprepared, the camp fell quickly. A grizzled older man entered Salo's tent, a rifle in hand. "Who are you?" Steadfast the boy stood, showing no signs of fear. "Ah, a brave one you are lad. But I can see it in your eyes. It's ok. They cannot hurt you anymore." This shocked Salohcin deeply, expecting to be killed and captured to be tortured somewhere else. Tears began to form as exhaustion kicked in. The man caught the boy has he fell. "Shhh now lad. Rest. The names Grizzwald."
AF 50: After that night, Grizzwald, or Grizz as he was called by most, took Salohcin in. Treated like a son he never got to raise and as a father Salo never got to know, the two grew on each other. After being taken on a simple hunt years ago, it was decided that Salohcin would follow in Grizz's footsteps and become a Hunter. The creatures fascinated him, the way the Fall changed everything yet they adopted and have lived on. They gave him hope, that maybe one day, he to can adapt.
AF 54: "This is it" Grizz sternly stated. The moment was finally settling in. "I will pass." They both burst into laughter. Composing himself Grizz turned Salohcin around. "Look me in my eyes." "What is it?" Salohcin was curious as Grizz was usually so well together. "Be safe. Be quick. Remember your training." "It's ok Grizz. I'll be fine." A tear began to roll down the old man's face. "I know. But anything can happen out there." Unsure what to do, he embraced the lad. "Now go, before I give chase."
The next three days were brutal on Salohcin's mind and body. The beast he was hunting was Alpha Shard Bear. This particular one has been terminating a small village for weeks. Having already killed two people, the Hunter's Guild was hired to remove the bear. And this was a perfect test for Grizz's pupil, the man many have come to known as one of the better hunters around. Finding the bear was an easy task. It had taken shelter in a cave not from the village. The problem was finding a way to kill it. Over 85% of the bears body was covered with some kind of crystal. Bright red and vibrant, it was not hard to miss. The stuff would be tough to get through. Adding the ability of fire breathing, and this baddie was not gonna go down easy. Having already engaged with the bear once to get a feel of it's tendencies and attacks, Salohcin had a pretty good idea on how to bring the beast down. Some meat filled with a ice grenade should cause some internal damage, limiting or removing the fire breathing. A roar could be heard as Salo hurried back into his hiding spot.
"Awe man, you should have seen it." A group of bar patrons listened intensely as Salohcin stood on a table. Grizz was nearby, having already this story three times today. He told an exaggerated version of his fight with several close to death moments before beheading the creature with one swing of his sword. Grizz is pretty sure he'll never heard the real story, but that did not bother him. Happy to have his lad alive was all he cared about. After a night a drinking and story telling with other guild members, The two went to the Hunter's Guild's main base in Ambrosia. Grizz was officially retiring, getting to old for the hunts. And Salohcin, having passed his trail, was accepted in.
AF 58: "I was happy to have found you Salo. Happy I was able to make a change for the better in someone's life. Happy...." Salohcin paused as he read piece of paper in front of him. A small gathering of hunters was held in Grizz's home. 20 or so men and women sat around a large bond fire which had yet to be lit. Grizz's body lay still on the bundle of wood and debris, dressed in his old hunting gear. Tears lay at the brink, waiting for Salohcin to just let them free. But he held strong, "Happy to call you my son. Take care. And don't do anything stupid," A saddened laugh escaped his lips. Taking a torch from one of the hunters, Salohcin walked up to Grizz. "Find happiness in the Great Hunt... father."
AF 60: After Grizz's death, he sold the home and many of it belongings to the city. Using that money and the money he had earned from his rookie campaign, Salohcin bought new gear and began his new life. One fully dedicated to The Hunt and the Guild.

When preforming a mission or hunt, Tsreo will don his custom hunting gear. A mostly black get up consisting of simple combat armor and leather. A series of pouches and small bags line his belt and vest, allowing his to carry whatever he may need for his mission. The most unique feature is his helmet with multiple "visions", allowing his to see in the dark, thermo, and a magic tracer which can be set to track various crystals. Along with an electric crystal shard, Salo needs whatever magic he seeks in a shard as well. This limits its uses when the unsuspecting happens as it takes a fair bit of time to install and set up.
