Appearance

Polished and well kept were not just words used to describe Vincent's armor, but also the man himself. Well groomed and maintained, he was seen as a shining example of the Moseke Knights, one of the reasons he reached the rank of Steward at such a young age. Always the one for rules and order Vincent kept his hair cut short in the military style, and his face clean shaven. Trained from an early age for the Knights, Vincent was raised not only with a shield and sword in his hands, but also with tactics and stratagem drilled into his mind. Due to his upbringing Vincent is well muscled and, standing a head taller than most others of his race he strikes a very imposing figure. Vincent would never be called beautiful, he was far from homely either. Though one the one thing about him that always seems to turn heads are his eyes, emerald green, piercing, full of fire and intelligence. Sadly, that was how Vincent held himself, but when he took on the name Gray, everything changed. His hair has grown long and is often left unkempt. A shadow of a beard has been allowed to grow, and the polished armor swapped for dull leathers and a gray hooded cloak. Along with the change in attire, Gray has wrapped the hilts of his swords in cloth to conceal the craftsmanship, and design. As they were a gift from his father for his promotion they are styled after the Moseke Knights. The only thing that seems to have been left unchanged from Vincent's fall to "Gray" are his eyes, though maybe the fire behind them has started to burn a little darker.

Personality

Vincent has always had a strong sense of justice, sticking up for the bullied, and weak. As time went on that sense only grew more concrete, and resolute eventually gaining him the notice of the Immortal Ethelynda. Kind, yet unyielding in the upkeep of the law. Merciful, yet fierce in defense of peace. Stoic, yet passionate about protecting his family and the people of Rynmere. Then, that was all snatched from him. Since the massacre of his family, and his transition to Gray, he's become cold and distant. Preferring to stay to himself, and rarely speaking beyond the necessary. Though he has become colder, his sense of justice hasn't dulled, and he still can't stand to see people being mistreated. Often stepping in to handle the situation before disappearing again.

History

Since Vincent was a child he had been raised by his father, a Warden in the Moseke Knights, to follow in his footsteps. Where some may have thought this unfair and rebelled against it, Vincent didn't. He saw the respect his father's men had for their superior officer, and the love the people of the city had for his family, and wanted nothing more than to live up to that legacy. Devoting his early childhood to training and tutoring Vincent quickly progressed in the arts of war, diplomacy, and leadership.

Squiring for his father, and eventually obtaining Knighthood shortly after his 18th Arc. Becoming one of the youngest Stewards in the history of the Moseke Knights was one of the shining moments of Vincent's life, and one of the proudest for his father. His rise through the ranks of the Moseke Knights was seconded in his father's eyes only by Vincent's acquisition of the Taithir. Shortly after attaining the rank of Steward and being graced by Ethelynda tragedy struck the Ordyn house.

The family was butchered and their home in Andaris burned to the ground to make the massacre look like an accident. Vincent survived the attack, but just barely. Wounded while fighting the assassins that had attacked his home, Vincent's father took and hid him under the bodies of the rest of his slain kin before turning to fight the men himself. Though dazed and barely conscious, Vincent watched as his father was cut down and beheaded. When Vincent was finally able to move again, the house was already ablaze, stopping only to pick up the twin swords his father had gifted him upon his promotion to Steward, he made his way from the burning manse.

When word of the tragedy reached Vincent it seemed that no one knew he was still alive. That day Vincent was pronounced dead with the rest of the Ordyn family, and Gray was born from the ashes of the ruin manse. Since, Gray has traveled the city looking for any clue on the group that murdered his family, and staying out of the way of any who may recognize him. His time on the streets and staying out of the light of the law, have caused Gray to walk a delicate line. Though he has yet to actually break any laws, it doesn't mean that he has remained untainted by the shadows either.

Housing

Gray stays at the local Inn, preferring to forgo the luxuries of the finer suites, for the affordability of the cheaper rooms. He usually pays for the room a fortnight at a time.

Marks Section

Marks

Taithir

Abilities

• Serpents Hood
  • Named for the technique many snakes use to appear more threatening, Serpents Hood generates an aura around the user that makes them appear like significantly bigger threat than the people around them, drawing the attention of enemy combatants towards the Shield-Bearer and away from more vulnerable targets. This ability lasts until the Shield-Bearer deactivates it or is rendered unconscious or dead.

• Enduring Scales
  • The Shield-Bearer's skin takes on a scale pattern, allowing them to absorb more physical damage than they could before. Poisons and toxins also take longer to effect the Shield-Bearer. The effect only lasts for a single Bit, and takes a Break to recharge before it can be used again.

• Protective Skills I
  • Add an extra three skill points to one of the following skills: Any Weapons Skill, Shield Use, or Endurance. Any skill points granted by this Mark can break the 100 point cap on skills.

• Honor's Shield
  • A skill that serves as a boost to the Shield-Bearer and their allies, Honor's Shield boosts the capabilities of the users own shield and those of their allies with a fifty yard radius, allowing them to block abilities that might otherwise shatter, pass through, or go around their shields, allowing them to defend against skills and techniques that would otherwise be much more dangerous.

• Inspire
  • When this skill is activated, those around the user find themselves able to resist the fears and doubts that plague their minds, allowing them to act in spite of them when they might otherwise be unable to do so. This does not only apply to martial fears and doubts, but to fears and doubts in all facets of life.

• Nobility's Endurance
  • A skill that requires a short sentence, of the Shield-Bearers own design, to activate, Nobility's Endurance grants all allies within hearing range of the Shield-Bearer, as well as the Shield-Bearer themselves, a boost to their endurance, allowing them to take more punishment than usual. The effect lasts three Bits and can't be used again for a Break.

• Calm Mind
  • For a short period of time, the wielder of this skill is able to calm themselves completely, leaving them immune to taunts or other attempts to anger them or otherwise knock them off balance.

• Noble's Shield
  • As the shield of the helpless and weak, no Shield-Bearer should be without their own shield. Noble's Shield will generate a golden tower shield when used and will last until shattered or deactivated, ensuring no Shield-Bearer is without this defense. However, these shields are no substitute for a real shield, as they cannot take too many heavy blows before shattering. In exchange, however, these shields have a cooldown of only a single bit.

• Second Wind
  • A skill that activates when the bearer is on their last legs, this gives them a burst of sudden energy at the moment when they need it most. However, this ability has a large drawback in that it can leave the bearer bedridden for several Breaks.

Celarion

Abilities

• Bond (Minor)
  • The Favored can Bond with 1 other person. In doing so the Bonded individual gains a single glowing band around their left forearm. The Bond remains as long as both the Favored and the Bonded allow it. The Bond only functions within 300 feet of the Favored, and dissipates shortly beyond that distance.

• Illustrious Skills I
  • Add an extra three skill points to one of the following skills: Blades, Leadership, Discipline, or Endurance. Any skill points granted by this Mark can break the 100 point cap on skills.

• Bound in Battle
  • The Favored and those Bonded with them are better able to fight together. Their tactics and movements flow almost seamlessly with little-to-no spoken communication. The Bond passes insights and slight thoughts between those Bonded while in combat together.

• Brilliant Weapons (Minor)
  • The Favored is able to create weapons out of solid light. The Favored can only generate one melee weapon at a time. To produce a weapon, the Favored must be in an area of substantial illumination (ie. Outside during the day, in a well-lit room, or at night during a full moon).
