Gender: Male
Species: Human
Ethnicity: Adelan
Height: 5'7
Occupation: Officer
Residence: Whatever outpost/camp/fortress his army resides in
__________________IN-DEPTH STUFFPhysical Description: It is enough to just see Alvaro once to know pretty much everything there is to know about him. His dusky copper skin, bright quicksilver eyes and dark hair are what most people imagine when thinking of an Adelan. His strong build, pronounced muscles and the scars scattered on his skin make it clear that he's a warrior, someone who's seen many battles and is rather able to take care of himself. Finally, the worn armour in the national colours indicate both his occupation and rank.

musicPersonality: Alvaro is a fiercely patriotic man, one who loves his country and king deeply and is willing to do anything to protect them. To his family, he's their great pride and joy, and a chance for the Narvaes name to be spoken across all of Adela. To his fellow soldiers, he's a commander who leads them to glory and is well worthy of their loyalty. To the other citizens, he's an object of both intense admiration and burning envy. He is a rising star of the army, one that a lot of hopes hinge upon.
Naturally, such high expectations have a way of affecting a person. Fortunately, rather than go to his head and make him an insufferable arrogant prick, it just imposed a heavy sense of responsibility on him. While he appears to be a very considerate and compassionate person to the people around him, he doesn't extend the same understanding to his own actions, and holds himself to the highest standards there are - ones even he has trouble meeting.
The curse placed on him is a cause of constant concern. His days are literally numbered, forcing him to work under a time limit. At this point, he's gone past frustration and repressed any fear or anger, and is focused completely on the practical aspects of his incoming demise. It fuels his intense dedication even further - many have mistaken his complete devotion to his craft for a burning ambition. Being forced to acknowledge his mortality, he is driven to accomplish as much as he could in the time he has left.
Magic/Abilities: - Leadership
- Excellent grasp of tactics and greater battle strategy
- Trained in combat with many weapons, although his favourite is a spear
- Unknown to almost everyone, he has a minor magical ability that enhances his thinking ability, allowing him to see patterns and flow of things, while boosting his mental speed
Relationships: - His family
- Fellow soldiers in the Adelan army
History: His family were minor nobility, very fixated on raising their station in life and spreading their influence. His father Estavan used to be a dragon knight who lost his position in a tough battle that claimed his partner's life and left him with an injury spelling the end of his military career. Estavan sent all of his children to the military, deciding to live vicariously through their successes.
Alvaro was clearly the biggest success. His natural talent in battle, combined with plain luck and diligence, contributed to his high rise through the ranks. He quickly gained a reputation that only grew, and resulted in more promotions. The soldiers under his command developed a fierce loyalty, and his superiors were divided between those were pleased with his skill, and those envious of him.
His perfect life was soon ruined. An enemy clever enough to hide himself managed to place an insidious curse upon him. It was simple and effective, set to activate and take his life on the first day of summer. Alvaro was left with less than a year to live. The time limit forced him to reconsider his life up to now and speed up his pace. He could no longer afford to take his time - if he was to claim the title of a Commander, he would have very little time to achieve it - and even less to actually enjoy his success.
Character Limitations: Since he's a capable warrior, I would request that you refrain from landing automatic hits/assuming specific responses. If you have something in mind, please let me know and I can figure something out. Moreover, his curse is not something I want fixed - I made him specifically in order to play a character with an irrevocable time limit.
