Character Name: Asaru Calafalas; He was named Asaru after the patron god of humans, as decided by his father but he takes his family name from his mother.

Age: 41 (Young adult in the helf-elf life span.)

Race: Half-elf (Human)

Gender: Male

Appearance: Asaru wears royal clothing (though he is not of royal descent) due to his family's wealth. He has faded red hair in the fashion of a warrior's bun (also considered a samurai bun), his skin is nearly pale even though he is in the sunlight all day long, has a slightly muscular body (in the sense that he has the strength desired, but no too much muscle mass to the point where it's hard to move). Across his chest is a scar from a wound he recieved while fighting a man who had been terrorizing his family.

History: As a child Asaru was raised as a fighter, using bladed weapons instead of bows or other long-distance weapons. Under his training, he was forced to learn how to fight blind, or in total darkness, so the amount of ambient lighting doesnt matter in the event he is fighting in areas that are either poorly lit or over-lit. At the age of 30 he joined the city guard, where he enhanced his hand-to-hand fighting skills. After only three years in the city guard, he resigned and left in search of something new.

Personality: When in battle Asaru takes on a different personality; in his mind, anything that comes near him with a weapon is an enemy. He is an honorable fighter and only kills when necessary.

Weaknesses: Power hits (he cannot take a lot of damage in battle), overheat (Asaru tends to overheat in battle, due to his speed), unarmored (Asaru does not wear heavy armors when fighting. Usually he is wearing either normal clothes or a thin leayer of leather armor).

Weapon: Longsword, Axe, Dagger; uses items from the ground, in the rare event that he has no weapons on his person, as weapons [rocks, sharp sticks]. As a last resort he will use hand-to-hand combat.

Other: Asaru is a quick fighter, his speed comes from years of training. However it comes at a price, he does not deal a lot of damage and he cannot take too many hits. However, it also has it's bonuses; because of the training he has had, he has precision striking, allowing for critical* hits. [* In the understanding that enemies can indeed take critical, or multiplied, damage.] He has an affinity to animals, domesticated or wild. (This includes, but is not limited to: canines [dogs/wolves], felines [cats], and farm animals [horses, pigs, lamb, cows]), but not wild beasts and monsters [lions, tigers, cougars, bears, etc]. He quotes himself after he wins a fight and when he is lecturing young warriors, "Weapons are an extension of your body, not a tool to be used."
