Appearance: Neras Frostfawn stands around 5'10", and he weights around 170lbs. He has a athletic body that he keeps in shape with his martial arts and acrobatic training. His think black hair dangles down past his ears, so he can either let it hang loose or tie back into a short top knot if he doesn't want it in his face. If sunlight hits his hair just right, his hair has a touch of red highlights in it. After his mothers death, he started to learn that standing out wasn't always a good thing, so he tends to wear clothing that blends into the crowd or situation. On warm days, he tends to wear simple gray linen shirt with black pants and leather boots. On cooler days, he adds a black coat to his attire.
When he working for the Sun Birth, he tends to wear his padded leather armor with his small leather shield strapped to his back. On his hip short sword and scabbard along with his angle knife and scabbard. When he is hunting outside the city, he tends to wear his leather armor along with his archery gloves. He wears his quiver on his right side of his hip and his short sword and scabbard on his left hip.
Character ConceptNeras Frostfawn is a typical Sunberth shanty town trash. He was raised by his vantha mother after his inarta father abandoned her when she was pregnant. Neras never met the man, but he knew his mother still loved him. Regardless of the whole abandoning her and their unborn child in the worst city imaginable, she still had hope that his father would return. Neras was always a trouble maker from his time in the crib to his life on the streets of Sunberth. Since he was raised by a single mother, she would often leave her infant son to go on hunting trips into the wild to bring back game to sell the meat and furs. This would leave young Neras for days on end by himself with friends and acquaintances of his mother. They weren't as successful in keeping him well behaved as his mother. In his preteen years, he would often lurk around the market place picking pockets, harassing sailors at the docks, or playing tricks on foreigners to the city. The half breed was extremely out in his preteen years, and he was always playing with the urchins of the city. Often he would test is agility through acrobatic contests with his friends stupid other games like being the best beggar in the market. In his youth, his vantha mother told him epic stories of great swordsmen and women of ages past and awe him of stories of eagle riders of Wind Reach, so you would often find him sometimes in a crowded street swinging his wooden sword around at imaginary foe or monsters.
Even if his vantha mother and him were away from Avanthal, she would still teach him the religion and culture of her people. He would ask about his father's people, but she would sadly tell that he would have to wait for his father's return from Wind Reach. He never did, and eventually, he started to resent his father and his people for abandoning them. During his teenage years, the boyish playfulness of youth started to manifest into something more competitive. Neras' ego started to emerged as he embraced the lawless life of Sunberth. Neras started to belief the only way to survive in the city was to sit on top of the food chain of his peer groups. He would often get in fights with rival youth his age over turf, and he started to odd jobs for the adult gangs of the city to get street cred with them. His mother was born and raised a vantha hunter, so when she found out about his attics in the city, she started to make him go with her on hunting trips into the Syliras wilderness. He hated it, but these were probably the best bonding times that he had with his mother. When his mother went into hiding in the winter of 516AV, He decided to take on jobs as a mercenary. He had no real trade skills, and he was good with a short sword, so mercenary work seemed the best fit for him.
