Same one I used last time.
Name: Jerrod Athon
Age: 28
Race: Redguard
Gender: Male
General Appearance:
A clean shaven head and face, his head a muscular oval with ears and deep brown eyes fitting on them perfectly. His tone is moderate for a Ra Gada, being the normal light brown. You can tell the man is in shape having a well defined muscle tone around his body. He stands at 5’10 being the height of an average man, but weighs in at around 170 pounds. His body is lean, enabling the physical ability to move quickly. Jerrod is in his prime, his body not yet ready to deteriorate. That will come in a few years, but for now he is at his best. His feet are of the normal size and are well balanced, untouched and moved by the graceful agility. His hands are hardened from the grip of a bow, as well as the grip of alchemistical chemicals. They are rough and hardened, able to resist much strain; however, they are not crooked, his fingers straight for the grip of an arrow. His arms are lean like the rest of his body, as he does not need strength for his skills.
Psychological Profile:
An honest person, Jerrod is not deceitful of people; however, he does his best to keep quiet and tries to keep his head low. He isn’t the type who goes around telling everyone the latest news, and he figures if he just keeps his head down, he’ll stay out of any trouble. With his close friends and even others whom he does not know, he is kind. He doesn’t have an overly angry side. When he gets mad at someone, he generally either leaves the place himself, or he tells that person to think about what they are doing. With this, he usually doesn’t take things out violently. On any sort of “mission” where it is required of him to use his weapon in combat, he still prefers to lay his head low, only shooting when he has to. If he has to shoot, he tries to avoid directly confronting his enemy. He isn’t known as an extremely quiet or loud person, and neither is he looked upon as a leader. He keeps his head low, and follows his orders. Jerrod values trust much, and if someone were to betray him he usually would not trust them again unless they somehow proved their honesty again (but even then he would still remember the past). Jerrod does not enjoy ignorant people that put other people in harm’s way, but he generally doesn’t say anything to these people unless they make him angry or put his own life in danger. Overall, he is a serious person who keeps his head low, though he does have some sense of humor with his friends holding a slight grin on his face. Jerrod is a man who observes and takes in possible outcomes before making decisions; he is careful with himself.
Weapons:
Jerrod carries a 40 inch oak bow, held together in the middle by steel, which is wrapped in leather. The leather is used to get better grip on the bow. A fine thick linen string is attached to this bow as a string is necessary for the use of any bow. As a close combat arm, Jerrod bears a silver shortsword which he rarely uses. It is wise to have a close range weapon of some kind, for one never knows when his arrows or magic will run out. Jerrod rarely uses magic as an actual weapon, but he uses it rather to enhance his skills. Other than this, he carries a small iron knife, which he uses mostly to cut his bow strings. While he has never had to use it as a weapon, it can be used as one, not to mention anything else in the world. He carries a triangular leather sack strapped on his back used as a quiver. It holds around 25 iron tipped arrows, with the very front point of them being silver. He carries an additional 5 steel tipped arrows, which are colored red. They were given to him by the university, and ignite in flame on impact.
Apparel:
Dressed in a scarlet cloak, wearing brown leather boots along with a leather belt tying around his waist; he wears fingerless leather gloves for grip. Other than this, he uses extremely light leather padding on his shins (under his robe) and bracers on his wrists. He usually does not wear his hood but that doesn’t mean he never uses it. Under his cloak, he wears a comfortable lightweight tan linen shirt along with thin pants of the same description. Overall, he tries to stay lightweight in his attire, as he needs it for his agility, and more importantly his magical use.
Miscellaneous Possessions:
Jerrod keeps many little small tied sacks around his belt, one being slightly darker than the others. This one holds his string, while the others hold alchemical ingredients. He keeps most of his alchemical equipment at the arcane university, but he often carries one or two small empty bottles around with him, and on some occasions a mortar and pestle in its own sack, which hangs from the side of his belt. He carries a special amulet that was given to him by the university. This amulet has the power to detect any life in the area for one minute; however, the amulet must recharge and it can only be used once a day for a week. After the weekly period, he must use a soul gem or another power source to recharge it. He also carries a small handbook on Alchemy, which he often finds useful when he has time to look through it. It is almost like a field-guide sort of thing.
Magic Skill:
Jerrod is skilled in the arts of Alteration, knowing unlocking and locking spells as well as a variety of shield spells. He also knows one particular water breathing spell, which he usually doesn’t use, but knows because of a study at the university. One of his other three major schools of magic is mysticism, where he has learned the main skills of life detection, as well as some soul trapping, telekinesis, and dispel spells. His third is illusion, where he knows a few spells and techniques: Night eye, the ability to cast light, a chameleon/invisibility spell (that cannot be used often do to magicka use), paralyze, and a silence spell. He knows some destruction magic, and although he is no master at it, he can pop a little fireball here and there (although he rarely does, as it isn’t that useful). Overall, Jerrod is best with his Illusion, Alteration, and life detection spells because he uses them and practices with them. He is a very good thinker at using magic to enhance his physical abilities. He knows very little restoration and conjuration (and destruction), only holding the knowledge of what it took for him to get recommended to the Arcane university.
Class name: Mystic Archer
Class skills: Alteration, Illusion, Mysticism, Marksman, Tracking, Alchemy, Sneaking.
Class description:
The Mystic Archer uses magic to enhance his normal stealth and marksman abilities. Mystics often use their alchemy skill to make poisons for their arrows and other potions to increase their stealth skill. They are no match for any warrior in face to face combat, their shortsword side arm not able to do much against thick armor. With larger opponents, they usually run or use their agility to defeat their foes. They are lightly armored, making them vulnerable targets to hand weapon swings, but are often hard to hit, being very quick, much quicker than any large man dressed in heavy armor. When in a combat group, they prefer to shoot their foes from a distance, and sometimes offer to share their alchemical makings with their party members.
Knowledge:
Jerrod is a knowledgeable alchemist, and has long been interested in the works of the Ansei and sword singers do to him wanting to know the ancient abilities of his own race. His alchemy knowledge consists of plants of many regions, from High Rock to Black Marsh. He also has studied some on Thu’um as well as the Ayelids and some Khajiit culture. Overall, he knows more of his own Hammerfellian culture. Since being in the university, he has studied Colovia and Nibenay. He is currently studying Vivec and the Dwemer in an effort to increase his knowledge of them. After he learns about those subjects, he plans to move on to the ashlanders and house dagoth. He knows a good bit about the Neverar, Dres, and northern Argonian tribes. Other than that, his knowledge of Morrowind is invalid, and he wants to strive to improve it.
Bio:
Jerrod was born in Chorrol, to a traveling Redguard Hunter and a Redguard Mages Guild member. His parents settled down in the city, where his father learned the ways of the region hunting for a living. His mother did work at the local Mages Guild hall. Before long, the decision was made that his mother be moved to the Arcane University after advancing in rank through the Mages Guild. His family moved into the large city, but his father still hunted the same deer and mountain lions. The boy grew up, learning to hunt with his father. His father taught him everything he knew in hunting, and soon it became Jerrod’s hobby. His father used his mother’s alchemical poisons to hunt, and thus this sparked his interest in alchemy and ultimately magic.
He made an effort to learn some magic from his mother, and by the time he was a middle aged teenager he could pull a few magic tricks, mix some potions, and sling a bow; not to mention trap and do a little sneaking, as both were necessary for hunting. At the age of 18, he set out to get his recommendations for the Mages Guild. Each city he trudged along to a different school of magic, and eventually he was able to gather a recommendation from every guild hall in the province. This took him some good time of course, as it had anyone. It was arranged for him to be stationed first at the Arcane University, and that is where he has always been. From there, he studied further into the schools of magic and history, most importantly illusion. His parents live in the Talos district, but he chooses to stay inside of the Arcane University. There, he lives with his friends and the girl he loves, a half Imperial-Redguard woman named Esther, who is an expert in Ayelid knowledge and a fellow Alchemist herself. They are engaged, and plan on getting married in 18 months.
Specialty:
A more than capable Alchemist with a decent knowledge on many aspects of history and research (listed above); capable of stealth and observing, scouting. Capable at ranged combat.
