__________________IN-DEPTH STUFF

Physical Description Hero is fairly average for an Adelan. Tanned skin. Dark hair. The tell tale gold eyes. He's well muscled from years of training and littered in little scars that do little more than attract little glances from curious onlookers. A somewhat handsome man, Herostratus has never found it helped him on a battlefield and surprisingly, the only reason he isn't covered in terrible scars is because he's a decent fighter. Even when he isn't in uniform he has a strong posture and can command the attention of other people easily by being in a room - which sometimes kinda sucks.

Long hair, usually done in a ponytail or braid, reaches to about the middle of his back - though down and unbraided it reaches a little lower.

Broad shoulders, large hands. He's easily very attractive... But he has one love and it isn't ladies. (Or men!) The battlefield. The effort he puts into his job as a knight keeps him fit and trim. Lacking people skills for the most part, he can be charming and charismatic in his own way - which in part is due to his good looks.

Personality  Calm and collected, he only resorts to violence as a last resort and it shows. He gains no pleasure from killing or fighting but being the best he can possibly manage is an ego stroke.

For the most part, he's good natured - if quiet and would be sooner found exercising (to keep himself pretty) as he would be found reading a book.


Magic/Abilities Hero trained for many years to be what he is. Raised in Ketra, he knew that being a Dragonrider wasn't really on the table for him but he trained anyway. He's talented  with polearms and is pretty darn good at riding a horse. Her name is Sunshine and he regularly stabs things with weapons from her back.

As a side note, Herostratus is, in fact, a werewolf. He goes through great pains to hide this from everyone - his family, his friends (does he have friends?) and his coworkers. He's a run of the mill kind. Chains himself up on fullmoons and does his best not to distrube anyone during the episodes. He does hot embrace his beast and dislikes his mother for giving hers to him.

Relationships

Sunshine - Hero's horse. A great palomino girl whom he loves more than most people.

History

His mother was from a southern tribe and his father was a wealthy man in Ketra. It was a bit of culture shock for her but love held them together and eventually they had Herostratus. An only child, his mother raised him with teachers and tutors and his father had him train with weapons in hopes of being selected to be a dragonrider. With no beastspeaking abilities, it was a failed plan although he was chosen for something else. Hero began his training as a young teen and in his early twenties began the regular tours through Adela.

It wasn't until after his mother died that he began his 'episodes'.

At first they were cause for alarm. He'd find himself alone in the forest, usually naked, and then have to pilfer pants from someones clothes line and make his way back home or to the barracks. As time went on, he began to notice the symptoms - and the cause - and chain himself appropriately to a sturdy pillar.  Despite his affliction, he grew as a soldier. Grew as a warrior.

Grew into a lonely man with a pet horse.
