Silence
Resolve level: 0 (Seeker)
Appearance
Age: 42
Gender: Male
Physical Description: Two meters tall giant of a man, with ashen pale skin. His blue eye is cold and calculative when he is calm, but become nothing more than a pit of rage when he is infuriated or in one of his zealous rages. He sports a black beard, somehow accentuating the grit that characterizes him. His face is a mess of scars, caused by blades, blunt weapons, beasts, and even fire near his left eye - whom is completely white, as a blade wasted it.
Attire: This errand knight armor. When he isn't seen wearing it, which is almost never, he can be found in a black and red tabard, whom he wears underneath the armor.
Biography
Quirks
Mankind Slayer "I've slain hundreds, think ye'll be any different?"
Irrepressible " 'Tis not even the longest campaign I've been through!"
Slugger "I've seen your weak spot. I'm gonna crush it."
Bloodthirsty
"Maim, kill, burn! Maim, kill, burn!"
Slow Reflexes "I have to study how it fights, understand its technique. You cannot rush your sword."
Guilty Conscience "I've killed so much of'em... men, women and child... ain't no redemption for me."
Synopsis: Silence used to be a Knight in a lord's army, obeying orders without a problem, bound by honor and duty. But he left the service of his lord when it became obvious to him the rebellions he put down by the sword were nothing more than famished farmers - and so he beheaded the man, and left the court onto his horse, abandoning his old name and persona to the profit of a fitting name - Silence.
Full: There is nothing more to his story. It allows me to role play him a lot better, since backstories hardly come to play in DDRP.
Misc. Notes: Silence speaks rarely, but when he does, it is in a gruff tone, and a Scottish-like accent. He mostly keeps to himself and seems largely disinterested by faith, seeing vestals and such as blind sheep. Even the way he walks speaks of danger; his intimidating height and armor, along with the habit he has of staring directly at people unexpectedly, did not help his loner persona to improve. He constantly keeps two bottles attached to his back, wrapped around protective leather; one is high-quality whisky, the other contains water from his homeland.
Skills and Equipment
Weapons: A long halberd.
Armor: This errand knight armor, perfect for travels and expeditions.
Other gear: Several scrolls and a crest on his shoulder, facing forward. The crest represents a howling wolf, white on a black background. The scrolls are merely deeds of his actions, whom he wears as a way to remember his sins. A whip is also attached to his the belt on his hip.
Strengths: Bound by honor and duty, Silence never leaves comrades behind, however he may despise or hate them. Already bearing much guilt, he refuses to let more men die on his watch. Diving into battle for redemption, he supports the people fighting by his side, despite preferring to be alone - he understands there is strength in unity. His great experience with his halberd gives him just the right opportunity to exploit any opening in an enemy formation and rush in, unleashing his brute strength among the ranks.
Weaknesses: While his zeal and fury can be a great tool in battle, it damages almost any type of social interaction he can have with people. Feeling crushed under his burden, he prefers to remain alone, driving away those who try to know more about him. He holds deep contempt for other "holy warriors", seeing them as nothing more than blind sheep sent to the slaughter by the Church, and not true warriors of the Light. Added to all this, he still holds the burden of the massacres he took part into, diving into suicidal charges to restore his honor. His protective armor also gives him limited sight and speed.
Redemption is a far light, but a real knight squeezes the life out of everything in the way.
