PERSONALITY

Positive Traits:
- Creativity: Aramis is a very creative and tends to find very unexpected solutions to complicated problems. He could be quite a good General if he had the will.

- Determent: Giving up is not something that Aramis easily does.

- Loyalty: Aramis is loyal to his superiors, his friends and his patients. It's something that comes naturally to him. He always obeys direct orders. If a friend would ask him to do something, he does. Wounded soldiers will never be left to die.

- Unselfish: Though he is a follower of Chaos, Aramis is a very unselfish person. He usually sacrifices his own opportunities to other people. It just something he does.

Negative Traits:
- Reckless: Aramis has very little sense of selfpreserverance. He doesn't think twice about doing dangerous stuff, such as trying to save a wounded soldier from a hostile area.

- Unselfish: Putting yourself second all the time can also be seen as a negative trait. People tend to walk over unselfish people, take advantage of those unselfish people.

- Stoïc: Aramis feels he has an obligation to society/the world/the Greater Good/etc. Individual feelings towards him, such as love and affection, mean very little to him and also confuse him. You could say he's a bit stoïc.

- Heroïc: Aramis tends to have heroïc feelings from time to time. Or at least he tries to be heroïc. And this keeps getting him in difficult situations, where he has to choose between orders and friendship, obligations and wishes.

Fears:
- Being hated by his own people.
- Failing.
- Shaving.
Quirks:
- He fears shaving, so he only cuts his beard. It's because he thinks he will cut his own throat in the shaving process and die.
-Uses his own medical herbs for fun. Especially those with hallucinogenic properties.
Ideals:
- Everybody can and must be saved. No man left behind!
- A man is to society, what a bee is to its beehive.
Overall: Aramis Karraka is a man who would do almost anything for anybody. He will always try to help those in need, which frequently get him into trouble. He is a bit oblivious for love directed to him, but is nevertheless a very nice person to hang around with. Which is strange for a Chaos worshipper.

APPEARANCE

Hair Color: Dark Brown
Eye Color: Green
Skin Color: Tanned
Clothing: Wide dark-red pants stuffed in steel armored boots, steel Tassets (those armor plates that protect the upper legs) (I looked it up on wikipedia), short-sleeved black shirt covered by a Steel Cuirass (breast- and back-plate-armor (also wikipedia)), Steel Gauntlets and occasionally a very dark blue robe.
Weapons: A halberd, or anything that is in arms reach.
Height: 6'7".
Weight: 223 pounds.
Overall: Aramis is a giant for most people. Standing almost 7 foot tall, he is a terrifying sight on the battlefield and a remarkable sight anywhere. Conterary to most Apothecaries, Aramis is very muscular and quite strong. He has a beard, which is brown, just like his long hair (it reaches his shoulders), in case you did not read the things above. The beard is not short nor long. It's somewhere in between.
Despite his terrifying stature and his - to some - disgusting beard, he's got very gentle eyes, though the left one (for the viewer) holds a battle scar. His eyes radiate with wisdom and kindness (which is odd for a Chaos worshipper).
Picture: Nope, sorry. Use yer own imagination.

HISTORY

Family: Father, Deceased. Mother, never known, assumingly deceased.
History:
Aramis Karraka grew up in a small city (not a town) near the border of the Frost and the Fire nation. Actually, the small city crossed the border, so one part of the city was Frost Nation and the other was Fire Nation. His mother died when he was born and his father, who was an apothecary too, raised Aramis all by himself. At the age of 10, his city was captured by the forces of Chaos. The villagers couldn't care less, and the capture went very smooth. No raids, no pillages, no murders, no disaster. The forces of Chaos stayed far away from the city, which is not something you'd expect from the army of Chaos. The only thing they did was send a missionary to the city, who converted people by the day. Soon, The Goddess of Discord had quite a lot of followers in Aramis' city, including Aramis himself. Aramis' father taught him the profession of Apothecary, but at the age of 15, he started to work in Construction too. He worked for his father and for construction for 5 years, after which he joined the army as a warrior-apothecary. He always told people he joined the army in order to serve his Goddess, but in fact, he joined the army because his father died and he had no more family or relatives to live with. Meanwhile, has been with the army for over 15 years and the only reason to stay in it was that Aramis did not die yet. He has fought many battles and healed many wounded soldiers, but many soldiers died too and many battles were lost too. Aramis survived his first two years in the army without even a scratch, until a Fire Nation Soldier used a spell on him and set his sleeve on fire, burning and scarring his arm. In the 5 year in the army he was hit in the lower leg by an arrow. Two years later he gained the scar by his eye. The 10 anniversary of his loyal service was cellibrated by being knocked down by a Ballista bolt (a very, very large arrow), which luckily did not penetrate his armor. Though the war scarred him physically, it did not scar him mentally.

ROLEPLAY SAMPLE

(I'm just improvising this, this is not really how I RP)

A battle between Forces of the Frost and the Horde of Chaos. Arrows and Ice spells flew through the sky, murdering men on both sides (well, the Ice spells killed only Chaosfollowers, though there were a few cases of friendly 'fire'). Aramis ran across the battlefield, searching for wounded soldiers to heal, enemies to kill and valueble things to sell. He saw one of the first, ran to him, planted his halberd in the ground and kneeled. "What's your name, son?" He said to the wounded soldier, who was barely 18 years in age. The young soldier talked slowly and stuttered, for he was in much pain and much fear: "Amnor Pitcoriz, sir." "Are you scared, Amnor?" "Y..yes, sir." "That's good, son. Fear is natures way of telling you you're not supposed to get killed." The wouned soldier smiled while Aramis deflected a couple of arrows with his shield, which he planted in the ground afterwards. "Where are you from, Amnor?" Aramis asked as he examened the wounds up close. "The village of Inymanir, in the S...southern mountains, Sir." The wounds were fatal, and Aramis knew that. He anxiously peaked over his shield for any incoming enemies and said: "Tell me about your home, son." While Aramis ducked for cover, arrows scattered off the shield and Amnor told him about the green valley wherein his town lay, the girls he had kissed and the sanctuaries in name of the Goddess of Discord there were.

Meanwhile. a soldier of the Frost Army had broken the lines and charged forward, towards the shield. Aramis peaked over the shield again and saw the Frost Soldier running forward to him. He grabbed Amnors bow (Amnor was a archer) and an arrow and fired it at the enemy. He missed, so he fired another one, which also missed. Aramis threw away the bow and picked up his halberd from the ground, swung it towards the Frost Soldier and decapitated him. A fountain of blood erupted from those neck and dyed the shield in a shade pf red.

When Aramis turned to Amnor, he saw that the archer had passed away. His head had turned to the side and the smile on his face revealed that he had died thinking about the green fields of Inymanir.

This biography looks great so far! I especially love his quirks.

However, you should make sure you use the form exactly as it is provided in the code, meaning include the blockquotes and whatnot. ^^ Simply copying and pasting the code part should take care of that. I just wanted to mention it before you got too far, so it'd be easier on you.

Welcome to Shadow on the Sun!

Thanks for the...uh, well... 'warning'. I could've copied and pasted the whole lot if I had finished it before your post, but I guess this was quite a bit easier.
By the way, pardon me for the small piece of 'gore' in my RP-sample. There are very little ways to bring decapitation and death in a suitable-for-children-fashion.

And, by the way number 2, let me introduce myself. On most Role-playing fora i am known as "The Soapmaker', which most people tend to shorten to 'Soap'. Though I may have a foamy name, don't mistaken me for somebody who's full of hot air. (No, there are no examples following).

I hope I will have a good time here.

Accepted!

Just one thing, make sure to change your display name to Aramis.


I love how he's different that your typical "gentle healer." He definitely sounds like a very interesting character. About the gore... don't worry about it xD It's perfectly fine here, we don't claim to be "PG" rated or anything.

Anyhow, hope you have a good time here too!
