E-mail address: MSN/AIM/Yahoo: IC info:Character Name: Ex Arcadus
Gender: Male
Age: 26
Race Human
Class: Soldier
Home Turf: River City
Weapon(s): Iron sword
Appearance: White skin, short dark brown hair, dark brown eyes. 6' 80kg, fairly slender for a human yet still fairly well muscled from years of slinging a sword. Likes to dress in comfortable cotton trousers and shirt with a tough leather jerkin over top and heavy black boots. He carries his long slender iron blade on his hip where it bounces as he walks. He is well tanned from many hours in the sun and numerous scars cover his body from countless battles. He only has one real arm, the other, his right, being cut off in a fight with an Arcadian Guardian, and soon after being replaced with a magically crafted steel construct. He wears a black fingerless glove over his real (left) hand to cover up the mark of the holy Arc.
Personality: Ex is often quiet and spends much of his free time simply thinking or pouring over maps and plans by himself. But when in the field or leading his unit he changes completly, becoming a born leader with an iron hard confidence and belief in his men.
He is loyal only to those that have proven their own loyalty to him first and believes in leading through doing and showing the world a better way of life through his own actions. Yet he is obviously often troubled by his past and a dark scowl will often pas his features.
History: Ex Arcadus is the bastard son of the late Lady Arc, last true born Arc of the Arcadian Empire, and her bogy guard, an Arcadian Guardian. After fleeing the knighthood of the Arcadian Guardians in his late teens for a murder he never commited, he took the name of Ex to cut himself from all he ever was and came to River City. Hunted by the son of the empire's regent Ex discovered he was the last hier to the throne of the empire and has since hidden his true identity from all but those he trusted.
Atleast until Captain Zane Striker, the mercenary that took him in after the damage he caused in River City fleeing from the regent and the empire, used a special piece of Magicite that marked the back of his hand with the symbol of Holy Arc, the blazing sun. Gaining him the nickname of the
Mercenary Prince to the people of River City, to his own men and to the other mercenary clans, yet many know nothing of the mark as he keeps it hidden. To this day the empire is too busy to investigate the rumours of the mark and consider Ex killed years ago.
