[Caellath]

Talendir sighs at the birdman's antics and wraps more bandages around his hands. As he walks he hears shouting and watches as the boy runs past them.

The mercenary watches the development of the affairs, runs after the boy and if it seems he is in any danger, Talendir intervenes to help him.

Spoiler: Talendir Exomedil - Soldier (click to show/hide)

Name: Talendir Exomedil
Stats:
-HP: 75/75
-MP: 0/0
Inventory: (see below/linked to class; you may include a small, nonmagical trinket or memento; your basic clothing is assumed to be on you)
-Broadsword
-Heater Shield
-Chainmail (soaks 12 damage from mundane attacks, adds +4 damage to electrical effects on you)
-Broken greatlance handle: A beautifully designed and crafted part of a spear/polearm handle, measuring around 5 inches and partly broken. Judging by its sheer resilience, the business end of the weapon it once belonged to was very heavy.
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Description: Slightly tanned skin, honey-colored eyes and pitch-black hair in a ponytail, tied with a small tattered dark red ribbon which can get him some weird looks from anyone who notices it. Tall and strong, with well-defined although not exaggerated muscles. On top of his chainmail he usually wears a long-sleeved black jacket with an equally black vest and brown long-sleeved shirt underneath, plus an extra shirt under the chainmail. His pants are black and so are his resilient boots. Under his clothing, the skin over large areas of his body is riddled with scars, varying in size and shape. His hands are covered in bandages.
Class: Soldier
-Hardened: You take -3 damage from all physical attacks.
-Great Strength: You can use heavy weapons without penalty or increased danger from failures.
-Few Words: You aren’t much for talking with strangers, and are less likely to convince people you don’t know. (-1 to speech/persuasion rolls for strangers)
-Brother/Sisterhood: You bond closely with those around you, and are willing to risk yourself to defend them. (+1 to rolls in which you are acting to protect another party member)
Skills:
-Weaponmaster: You have an incredible depth of knowledge on weaponry, and gain +3 damage to all successful attacks with melee weapons.
-Squire History: You were once a squire for a knight, and can make small repairs to damaged weapons and armor. (+1 to repair rolls for medieval weapons/armor)
Background: Talendir was born to a simple family which desired a better future for its children. Turning into a knight meant having a shot at brighter days by renting your sword and skill to a lord, and because of that their small boy was sent to be a squire at a castle. He learned how to perform repairs in weaponry and armor as well as how to ride a horse, the last one as a hidden activity. The lord of the castle did not care for lowborn assistants nor was willing to allow the knight assigned to Talendir to teach the boy anything but the skills needed to keep the older man's armor clean and his weapons sharp.

Even in an environment were all opportunities seemed to be denied to him, he still strived to fulfill his and his parents' dream, working during the day and practicing whilst all the souls inside the property slept, focusing on melee after getting his ranged warfare capabilities up to a reasonable standard. His abilities grew exponentially as the result of dedication and training, and his self-inflicted crucible to become a knight finally ended at the young age of 16, when his skills with close-combat weaponry had become so unnervingly obvious he managed to soundly defeat a knight and was granted full knighthood by the lord of the castle by sheer interest in using him as a tool for war.

Talendir became known for his ease in wielding extremely weighty weaponry as it was no more complicated than swinging a dagger around, and capitalized on that fame with his heavy set of armor and weapons, usually carrying an enchanted Horseslayer greatlance and a very large steel round shield, both of which had part of his smithing efforts. His happiness would not last long, and he was expelled from knighthood at the age of 17 for reasons unknown during his first campaign. The events of that time caused him to take on a sour and occasionally jaded attitude as well as becoming hostile towards paladins.

He started to work as a mercenary soldier to survive, gaining experience through a couple of years before being attracted by the call for adventurers.

((@Spinal_Taper: The soldier is supposed to take hits for the team. Remember that. Also, you are lacking the status.))

((Yeah, but by theif they meant me, I believe. I think I may want to run away.))

((Aero is not the thief in question. Though it would be rather amusing to see Talendir chasing after him.  ))

[Caellath]

A young boy runs past you, heading for the gate, followed by shouts of "Thief!".

((How about now?))

((Happy times, I found a pretty good map generator, so you'll have a visual aid once you get your hands on one ingame. I'll update it periodically to reflect new knowledge of the world.))

((HUZZAH!))

[Skyrunner]

'Obviously,' Merchant Mina thought, 'the boy is not the thief, because he's ... too obviously not the thief. Anyways, I don't have proof, and it's an unneeded expenditure of energy, so there's that.'

Paladin Mina, who was in control of Mina's body right now, ran after the boy as best as she could, but not shouting stupid things like "Stop right there!" In her experience, it made stoppees actually go faster.

[Flying Dice]

Derm

You snap your fingers in your pocket, channeling a flow of power into the boy [5], reducing his personal gravity to a fraction of normal. With his next step, he starts drifting away from the ground, shouting in astonishment. You walk past him and through the gate. Outside, the cobblestone quickly turns to packed dirt. A few travelers are on the road, and farms are visible in the fields to the north-east.

-5 MP.
____

Hedric

Thinking back on your knowledge of gemstones, you attempt to assess the price the ruby could bring [6], and hastily conclude that you are going to be stinking rich and will never have to work again, yes sir!

____

Sinterous

You ignore everything around you, concentrating on a second attempt at the same enchantment. [2] You accidentally put too much force behind the spell, and the sphere flies out of your hands, clattering against a wall. Several people stare at you strangely.

-4 MP.

____

Aero

You take off, speeding towards the fleeing boy, only to find that... he has already taken flight!? You close, attempting to grab him [5], and successfully do so, getting a tight hold on him. He struggles against your grip [6] and breaks free, hitting himself in the face. The boy drifts away from you, stunned.

____

Talendir

You shake your head in disappointment. You consider bandaging your hand, but it isn't bleeding so you shrug it off. When the boy lifts off, you blink, then run down the street in an attempt to halt his ascent. Before you can reach him, you see Aero grab him, then promptly lose him. You look around [5], and climb up onto a parked cart, jumping towards the boy. You snag him by the ankle and land safely, holding him like a human balloon.

___

Mina

You silently chase after the boy, [5] reaching him just after Talendir lands.
