Race: Half-Isur
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Birthday: 72nd of Fall 493 AV
Birthplace: Sunberth
Appearance: Valinos stands at 5'8, his deep mahogany hair has slight streaks of blond and tinted ever so slightly with a dark blue, is usually kept tied in a braid or pony-tail, it hangs to slightly below his shoulders. His eyes are that of deep emerald with a slight blue shade mixed in. With an emotional trigger, the blue becomes much more dominant. He has prominent cheek bones and a slight stubble kept trimmed and short. His lips full, curled up in a mischievous, knowing smile usually.
Valinos stays tanned, weathered from staying out-doors more then not. Though due to his heritage, with the Isur blood, it does hold a slight azure tint to it, but it easily over-looked. Valinos' body is well formed, not as fit and imposing as a full Isur, he has kept in shape with his daily life. He weighs 200 pounds, solid and caries little weight that isn't muscle, but he is far quicker then you would anticipate. His left arm does hold a slight dark greenish tint, hinting at a bloodline of the Coglias clan, though he does not know anything about them but the information told to him from his father.
Character Concept
Valinos is observant, watching people, expressions, interactions before he engages. He likes to know the mood of a room or situation before he makes his presence known. His mind is quick, very tactical, seeing changes in the flow of a room and adapting smoothly and quickly to most situations that would other-wise catch people off guard or surprised. He is a dark loner though, most likely to keep someone at arms reach to protect himself. He has lost many and feels the only sure way to survive is to keep to himself.
This does not mean he is without emotion, he holds to his word with an iron fist. If his word is given in promise, he does everything he can to keep that promise. His personal honor is very important to him. Valinos has suffered through his years, so he is very protective of those he does let in, or those weaker then himself. He struggles with self-survival and this protective nature often though, since to protect another, you usually have to be in harms way yourself.
His morality and ethics are a bit in the grey though. Being raised in or near Sunberth is no easy thing. Sunberth would sooner see you fit for a dip in the Shyke Creek over anything else. As such, Valinos has learned to get dirty when it is required of him. Ultimately, Valinos is a survivor, doing what needs done to keep himself, and those few he counts friends, alive over the alternative. Although there are limits to this view, children would be his weakness... and slavers, not fond of slavers no matter what.
Character History
Valinos was raised happily until he was 12 with is little sister Valana who is 10, His Isur father and human mother lived happily on the out-skirts of Sunberth. His parents were happy, their lives in a happy routine. Until it all fell apart.
Early winter, animals woke the house, the sounds of slaughter echoed through the hills as a raiding group moved through the small area. Valinos' father fought with everything he had, even his mother mustered up enough to defend home and family. But in the end it was not enough. The family destroyed, parents dead, and they moved in on Valinos and Valana. Even then Valinos was determined to defend his remaining family. Standing in the mingling blood of his parents he lashed out with a dagger, catching a captor across the stomach, a scream echoing in the small home. But it was his only attack as a counter came quick. The raiders left him for dead, a wound most would see as fatal rendered him near death on the wooden floor, the sounds of his sisters screams echoing in his head as they took her as a slave. It was unknown how long he slept near death. When he awake, it was with a cool woolen cloth to his head, a homely lady with a peaceful smile upon her face.
"Rest, the room is paid for another week, lucky child." was all she said, his savior unknown.
It has been 6 years since that day, his travels have taught him much, and he is returning to Sunberth, still looking for the little sister who was stolen from him, and the villain responsible.
