Looks:

    ·         Age - 28

    ·         Height – 6’1

    ·         Weight – 210 lbs

    ·         Build – Slim, Atheltic

To far off lookers, Idrasate is a normal human being despite his slightly strange dress sense. He wears a large brown hood and a dark blue tunic with matching trousers. His boots like the belt and buttons are brown and made of worn leather. Idrasate also wears a thick brown cape that comes down to his hips. He uses his cape to shelter his pack or to wrap up in its warm embrace.

Should Idrasate lower his hood in the rare instances he does so, his looks almost normal. He has short, dark brown hair. two slightly large ears. its when you get to his face that you will notice something very different.

While the right side of his face is relatively normal with Blue eyes and and even skin tone, the left side off his head is very pale with a clear distinction between skin tones down the middle of his face. Pale Black veins follow down his left cheek and contrast with this pale complexion. Finally, Idrasate’s left eye is a sickly bright yellow color which has unnerved many people who make eye contact. when the planets align and someone is able to touch his pale side, it will be like touching a electrical current, nothing more than a numb buzzing sensation.

Religion – Idrasate has never given any indication that he is religious even though his strangle look may say otherwise.

Personality – Despite his slightly creepy look, Idrasate is a very cheerful person. He will not shy away from a good conversation and is often fond of a good hug. This has led to a modest number of good friends who were filtered from those who turned him away for his looks. He loves to go to public places with friends while he is not at work. His favorite place to go is Mr O's Fruit stall in the central market and any tavern with good cider!

Idrasate understands how he looks and while he would love to look normal, he will understand if you feel uneasy in his presence even if it’s an entirely different race. He will not talk about how his face became this way and will divert the conversation or outright ignore you until the topic changes. Persistence on the matter will make him agitated and unhappy or even angry if your a stranger. The one trait Idrasate prizes in anyone is honesty even if he isn't.

Idrasate will quietly psychoanalyze anyone who makes him uneasy or angry. This can be through mistrust or even to find a scathing remark he can use if needed. He does have a creepy tenancy to glare at someone he cannot figure out.

If anyone made a judgment based on his look then he would quickly become cross. He deals with this anger by making demeaning remarks about his accuser which can sometimes go too far. Should you be unlucky enough to really piss him off (usually by spreading rumors or just purposely attacking him), he will make it known and you would be lucky not to come out without either a good shouting at or even a black eye!

Idraste is very easy to get along with and has a lot of patience if you don't accuse him of something he has not done. He is often very helpful but his life has left him somewhat cautious of new people. Idrasate has no tolerance for anything with evil intentions and his moral code on this is strict. He vows to up root any evil that he comes across. If you accept him quickly and are honest with him, Idrasate will be a good friend to you, unless of course you betray him later on. Then he will lose it!

As has been suggested, while he as a lot of patience for people, his temper can be rather short if you know which nerves to pluck. Idrasate is not one to back down unless he is up against anything with Vernal Magic. This will cause him to quickly retreat and back off from conversation/argument . Idrasate's fear of Vernal Magic came from the same place as his pale face. A story that had only recently surfaced (see backstory for more info.) The only time he will not back away from Vernal magic is when he either has no choice, when he is fully into a fight or when his temper is reaching breaking point.

Finally, Idrasate can be a bit of a dope, he will often miss things that are blindingly obvious and may not be able to solve many puzzles. He hates riddles more than anything. his observation skills makes up for this in someway but this can still be hit and miss unless he is concentrating.

Inventory;

Weapon – Cat Claw "Flash". Idrasate’s Claw is hidden beneath his sleeve and a leather glove. it extends from his middle knuckle - Like wolverine from X-men except only the one blade. The blade is slightly curved and the cutting part of the blade (bottom of it). Idrasate can extend Flash by throwing his arm out (Claw is triggered by momentum). The blade shines with the mix of unknown metals including a yellow blade edge that seems to glisten from time to time. Idrasate names his weapon “Flash”

Note: The metals contained in the claw look just like silver but are much harder than normal metal. Those that have been cut by yellow edge have described a burning/stinging sensations for months after injury.

    ·         Grenades (50) - These are strapped to his back and hidden under his cloak. He can reach behind his back and grab one. there is a special twisting mechanism to stop accidental detonations. 

    ·         Silver chain (50) - Carries these in his pack but keeps a few under his sleeves just in case.

    ·         Healing Potions (50) - Also kept in his pack.

Magical abilities;

    ·         Dispel Psyonics - Source of this comes from yellow eye. he will lose this ability if it becomes damaged.

Backstory

Despite his father’s career as a Hunter of the Wicked, Idrasate lost his mother to a unknown demonic entity, While this had a large emotional impact, it inspired him to seek and destroy the evil forces that threatened the kingdom.However, due to his limited knowledge and emotional turmoil over his mother, Idrasate was difficult to train and was often the least skilled in match ups.

His inspiration, unaverred, took him through many long years of the guild until one dark day, while “hunting” a demon, at the Hydronic Deneb Stones, he vanished. After a guild search party found him three weeks later, he was unconscious but alive; his face now changed to what it is now. Nothing else was the same with him since. When asked what had happened at the stones, Idrasate had claimed that the hunt had failed but he had found the stones oddly reassuring and in need of investigation. After further questioning, Idrasate revealed that something had attacked him. He said;

"Someone had vanquished the demon... It looked like Vernal magic... with all the flowers and plants growing around the stones. Last thing I remember was leaving the stones after taking notes and my mind just froze... M- My body was not my own and it refused to obey . I c- could not breath and I... I passed out. I thought... I thought I was going to die..."  

While he was in the infirmary, he was visited by doctors and priests to try and establish what had happened to his face. The presists could not detect any magical damage and the doctors could find no negative impacts to his physical state other than the change of looks. While the priests still debate this from time to time, Idrasate's face was concluded to be demon magic scarring and that none of it remained thus the case was no longer investigated.

After spending a surprisingly short amount of time in the infirmary, Idrasate began to find new confidence and skill which seemingly came from nowhere. These sudden personal revelations led to him challenging his main rival Drocask Fernheart just four months after the incident. Fernheart was your typical bully who preyed on the weak, often Idrasate, with her high ranking status. She abused him verbally and often lashed out at him, trapping him in a cupboard or some other small place he didn't like.

Idrasate stated that the loser of the duel would resign themselves from the guild. Full of confidence that she would beat an opponent she had done many times before, Drocask accepted. Word spread like fire of this bizarre challenge and even the guild leader was notified.

On the day of the duel. Many had gathered in the guild hall. It was believed that nearly 80% of the guild attended to what was now labeled as some kind of joke. Idrasate and Drocask both arrived. Both swore on the terms set by Idrasate and the match began. The battle lasted for nearly 8 minutes and no matter how she tried, Drocask could not match Idrasate's speed and new found skill. She tried name calling and various underhand tactics to win but all this did was anger Idrasate more. Finally, in a spectacular climax, Idrasate sent Fernheart flying and won the duel.

Enraged at her defeat, Fernheart attacked when Idrasates back was turned, a knife in hand. Idrasate was saved by several officials who tackled Fernheart to the ground. Idrasate was filled with such rage at her dishonesty that eye witnesses would later swear his yellow eye had began to glow and his black veins turned darker. To everyone's amazement, Idrasate turned back and left the hall. He knew that Fernheart had been exposed as a bully and a sore loser. Drocask was expelled from the guild and faced criminal charges for attempted murder. Idrasate had fairly and outright defeated a high rank, exposed her as the evil woman she was and all this had been seen by everyone. Not a bad day!

With new found respect, Idrasate trained and studied relentlessly without any resistance from other guild members. One night when the guild leader saw him, after reports that he was still steadily climbing through the ranks of the guild even after the duel, she asked him what spurred him on. What was he striving for. He responded with "If you had a gift that you thought would grown into something great, would you not cultivate and nurture it?" Unsure what to make of this question, the guild has leader kept a close eye on Idrasate to this day. While he has never done anything to warrant concern or worry, she still wonders about what kind of person that the "Half Pale" is shaping him into.

To this day Idrasate enjoys and modest life in the guild and is considered one of the better guild members despite objections from others claiming he is too mysterious and untrustworthy. His only problem now is dealing with these migraines he has been getting over the last few years. They seem to come like a blow to the head. They rarely strike but they have been getting noticeably worse with each attack. Idrasate is hoping that these attacks keep at bay during the tournament. His father, a proud man and now retired, lives outside the kingdom in peace. Idrasate has vowed to rid the world of the evil and with his recent rate of improvement; the guild leader is beginning to suspect he just might.
