Characters Name: Ramses deBezna
Characters Journal: _serpentarius_
Characters Age: 27
Characters Race: Boreal-Halfling
Characters Class: Holy Knight
Physical Description: Ramses is a stout, rugged man who stands about 5'9" tall. He has hazel eyes, and mid-length, feathered black hair streaked through with a deep emerald green, and a caucasian complexion though despite this, Ramses has fine greenish scales flecking his collarbone, neck, forehead, elbows, and his pelvis. The big giveaway, though, is that he has no legs. Instead, Ramses has the long, thick, muscular lower section of a giant constrictor snake! He goes clean-shaven, and when he allows his beard to grow in, it's sparse and fair. He wears a suit of heavy, cumbersome Holy Knight's armor, though when compared with the norm for his class, one finds Ramses' armor lacking in the protective Holy enchantments. This, along with a cream-coloured cape embroidered with a green symbol that looks like a "U" with a curving line horizontally through the center, forms the basis of his uniform in the Church. A deceptively simple-looking, well-used broadsword is strapped to his left hip, to be drawn in his right hand. He also possesses a medallion on a gold chain that always hangs around his neck, bearing a square green crystal within a round silver and gold framework crafted to resemble snakes twining about it and each other. The same symbol that appears on his cape is visible within the stone when the light strikes it correctly. On his left hand, Ramses bears a simple golden band that symbolizes the promise he made sworn into the Church of the Goddess.
Current Location: Esmyr
Background: Ramses came from both Boreal and Eiflan stock, though he was left in an orphanage near Liyhur by his father, as his mother wanted nothing to do with the mortal and their offspring after he was born. From a young age, Ramses was a bit of a loner with an exceptionally strong sense of justice and morality, who looked after the other children in the orphanage. When his skill with a wide array of talents began to manifest, he was placed in a school to learn basic reading, writing, and arithmetic, as well as the basics of magic and swordplay. Ramses excelled in a focused fighting style that allowed him to pick out his opponent's weaknesses and exploit them, while ignoring useless distractions such as doubt, or fear. When Ramses completed the training that his school was offering, he took to the road in order to broaden his horizons, and grow as a person. Not too long afterward, the young man found what he considers to be his place in the world, and a strange place it is; Ramses is the first, and so far only, Boreal-related Eiflan to join the Order of Holy Knights.
Personality: Ramses is a good, kind, decent person who struggles with his ancestry to avoid doing something horrible that he knows he'll regret. A wise person, Ramses is well-travelled and generally knows the right thing to say at the right time, to avoid a conflict that might otherwise occur because he is indeed the spawn of something evil. Always one to help those in need, Ramses has always had a strong sense of justice, and is one to do the right thing, even if that thing is going to get him into trouble, land him in hot water, or whatnot.
Anything else we should know? Ramses cannot learn Holy Magic, because he is a Boreal-Halfling. Instead, he utilizes advanced sword techniques usually reserved for Knights or Swordsman. Due to his Boreal heritage, Ramses manifests the ability to change his form between that of a humanoid, and a large Boreal snake-monster. When in combat, Ramses fights with a precise, relentless one-handed style that exploits and capitalizes on an opponent's mistakes, using his Halfling psionic abilities to boost himself, providing stronger, more devastating blows.

  4. Smite: An especially vicious cut to a vital location, nothing is held back, making this a killing stroke!
