Knight of Fire

Name: Seed Age: 25 (Born SY 435) Star: Teni (Star of Majesty) Hometown: L'Renouille, Highland Kingdom Occupation: Captain in Highland's 4th Army Weapon: One-Handed Sword, Tine. A rather unusual sword, Tine is best described as a scaled-down estoc with some elements of a katana. It has a long blade more suitable for thrusting attacks than cutting ones, although it does have a solid cutting edge, while its handle is wrapped in blue-black cloth in a similar pattern to a katana with a gold, oval pommel and a steel blue hilt that resembles a circle placed on top of a rectangle. It was commissioned for Seed when he was promoted to an officer's rank and has served him well in many battles, whether they were against the Jowston Army or troublemaking punks in L'Renouille. Its advanced forms are Lasair and Olldóiteán. Runes: Head: N/A Right Hand: Rage Left Hand: N/A Class and MP Tier: Runic Fighter, 8/6/4/2 Character Description: ![]() Seed is a tall and handsome man with medium-length red hair parted down the middle, brown eyes, and a medium/athletic build. He is usually dressed in a long, almost robe-like white coat patterned with two red stripes with a smaller white one running down the center. This striped pattern runs down the sides of the front, forming a U-shaped pattern at the bottom, a vertical section of stripes below this, the edges of the lower sides, and down the sleeves with a horizontal band of these patterns running around the elbows. This coat covers up a simple pair of black pants and Seed's armor which consists of ornate silver greaves and gauntlets and a simple silver breastplate. Lastly Seed wears a double-wrap belt where he keeps his sword's scabbard to his left, attaching the scabbard to the belt with a strip of red and white cloth in a similar pattern to his coat except for the fact that the white stripe is much larger. Biography: Seed grew up in a poor family in L'Renouille, living the normal life of a Highlander peasant. As he got older he grew discontent with his lot and began looking for a way to help his family, but his personality never lent itself well to mundane work and he didn't have the money to get the same advanced education that many other Highlanders had. Not sure of where else to turn, Seed eventually enlisted in the Highland Army, hoping to better himself. This turned out to be the best decision he could have possibly made. Seed's superiors noticed that he had an immense talent for swordsmanship and he picked up on magic well, too, especially when it came to Fire and Water-elemental spells. It didn't take long for Seed to distinguish himself in the various border clashes and small wars between Highland and Jowston, eventually earning the rank of Captain in Solon Jhee's 4th Army and a much more comfortable life. Along the way he met a fellow officer named Culgan and became good friends with him in spite of their different personalities and he is also on good terms with Solon himself. Seed had recently been stationed at the Jowston border along with the rest of the 4th Army, but they soon received word of the peace treaty and King Agares handing over control of the Highland Army to his son, Luca. Consequently he just made it back to L'Renouille in time for a boring weekend. A part of Seed is disappointed by this, as there are few things he enjoys more than an intense, pitched battle, but he does understand that there are benefits to peace. Still, there have been rumors buzzing around the 4th Army that their new supreme commander, Prince Luca, is mentally unstable and isn't likely to remain quiet for long. Although Seed himself isn't sure how much of these rumors are real and how much are just gossip his warrior's instincts are telling him that something big is likely to go down soon, and he's ready to do whatever it takes to ensure that Highland comes out of it on top. Personality: Brash, impulsive, and notably temperamental, there are few things in this world that Seed enjoys more than a good fight. These combination of traits make him an incredibly dangerous enemy in battle, although his recklessness sometimes gets the better of him and lands him in trouble. Outside of battle Seed is generally an upbeat and friendly guy who's happy to grab a few beers with his comrades anytime, though his lower class background gives him little use for trivial formalities and often causes him to speak plainly and bluntly. He also has a sharp wit and is capable of delivering some truly biting sarcastic remarks, though he has enough sense to keep these sides of him in check in front of his superiors. Also in spite of his impulsiveness Seed actually does have a good grasp of military tactics and has the potential to become a great general someday. Seed's last defining character trait is his absolute loyalty to the Highland Kingdom. Rather than pledging his loyalty to certain members of the royal family the way Kiba Windamier does with King Agares, Seed considers himself loyal to the kingdom as a whole and will do absolutely anything to defend it. For Seed there would be no finer way to leave this world than to give his life for the sake of his beloved Highland. RP Sample: A red-haired man grumbled and rolled over in bed as sunlight began to peek through his window. Even though those who knew him best might think he was avoiding sunlight because of a hangover, that actually wasn't the case for once. Instead it was simply the behavior of a man who wasn't looking forward to a long and boring day. King Agares had just signed a peace treaty with those Jowston sissies and he had gotten back from the front lines in time for a slow weekend, leaving the valiant Captain Seed of the Highland 4th Army with very little to do. Still, Seed knew he couldn't stay where he was forever. Sighing, he reluctantly dragged himself out of bed and threw on a simple green bathrobe, grumbling to himself as he walked out to the kitchen to make himself breakfast. After looking through the food he had on hand Seed finally settled on a simple bowl of sugared corn flakes and had just picked up a bottle of milk when he heard a knocking at the door. Wondering who it was, Seed put the bottle down and walked to the door, finding a familiar soldier from the 2nd Army standing at the doorway. "Good afternoon, Captain Seed," the man said cordially. "How are you, sir?" "All right, I guess, just bored," the fiery officer replied with a shrug. "Anything entertaining coming up, like a riot down in Hastings District or something?" "Not quite a riot, though I am here to tell you about some entertainment," the Black Garb soldier replied. "In celebration of the peace agreement King Agares is holding a peace ball at the castle tomorrow evening and expects all nobles and ranking officers to attend." "Ugh, I thought you said you were talking about entertainment, not some night full of stuffy nobles," Seed grumbled. shaking his head in disgust. "And what's worth celebrating about the peace agreement anyway?! If we had one more week out there I guarantee you that fat bastard in Matilda would have started something and we'd have finally gotten the chance to conquer that rathole once and for all!" "It's not my place to question what His Majesty Agares is thinking, sir, I'm just here to deliver the message," the soldier replied plainly. "Though off the record I wish we had at least been able to give Muse or Matilda a bloody nose." "Yeah, so do all of us," the red-haired man responded. "All ranking officers, though? Well, Kiba did just hire that cute sorceress from the port out east and I don't think she'll be there to escort Klaus, so maybe it won't be a complete loss. I'm still going to bring a flask of Sam's strongest stuff from the Bloody Claymore, though." "That's the way to look at it, sir," the other warrior said with a salute. "The ball starts at 19:00 hours tomorrow evening. Best of luck, Captain." Seed closed the door as the soldier walked away, returning to his breakfast with a sigh. He never was a fan of those big fancy balls. Sure, there were plenty of smoking hot nobles' daughters there, but their overprotective fathers and fiances usually spoiled the mood for him, and the environment was way too stuffy for him. The fiery officer would rather be getting drunk and either starting a fight or going home with an attractive, less picky woman at one of L'Renouille's many taverns. Still, odds are he wasn't going to suffer through this alone. Solon and Julia would no doubt be obligated to appear, and Culgan would be there as well, likely with another date from his mother's frequent attempts at matchmaking. Finding out whether or not one of these dates was an actual good match for once never ceased to amuse Julia and Seed couldn't help but find it slightly entertaining as well. He was hoping his old friend would catch a good break for once tonight, though. "I guess all I can do is just wait and try to amuse myself today," Seed thought to himself, quickly working through his cereal. "What the hell am I supposed to do, though?" |
