(Note, The White Company is a newer group, formed when the Marbrands arrived in Metterden. As such, to start out with, Jurgen only wished to be a soldier in the militia of Metterden, though when he was about eighteen this changed to The White Company.)

Jurgen Ardelis was born in the year 1558 at the small town of Metterden, an area in the rugged north, to Jameson and Katla Ardelis. Throughout his childhood, he was raised with little issue, putting his best efforts forth when he could; His father, a soldier for the militia of Metterden, pushed Jurgen to perform at the best of his ability and to be an honest and hardworking member of Metterden, regardless of his future occupation. Jurgen's mother was an animal breeder, and so taught him from a young age about the value of animals to the city, and how they provide the town with food and leather for families and soldiers alike. It was common that Jurgen would venture outside to see his father in the guards' barracks, he was either training or working with another soldier named Avis Hedin to secure the wooden walls of Metterden. While he watched his father, Jurgen developed an interest in the militia, wishing to follow his father's path as a soldier; though he also had interest in animals, wishing to also be either an animal breeder or leather-worker in Metterden. After deep consideration over the next year, he realized there was a also a third choice. Practicing to become a leather-worker while training himself with both sword and shield until he could qualify as a soldier of the militia. He would have something to fall back on if he never quite did follow his father's footsteps, and it wouldn't hinder him in any way specifically.

 

At age sixteen, Jurgen began working for the town's current leather-worker, Avis Hedin (The same soldier his father worked with), who showed him how to clean the leather so that it was usable on the tanning rack. He was also taught the basics of crafting some items with leather, such as banners and item frames. After a year, Jurgen explained to Avis that he actually wanted to be a soldier, and that leather-working would be a side job, just as it was for him. Avis took that into consideration and after a few days he began training Jurgen in the art of combat, using wooden sparring swords as they first began, but moving to dull iron short-swords after several months. It was in this time that Jurgen truly felt happy, he was training to do exactly as his father did, perhaps even better, and all the while he was working with leather just as his mother said when she spoke of her occupation. Two years afterwards, Jurgen, eighteen now, was still a beginning leather-worker, but at least moderately proficient with a sword, so Avis began teaching him the more advanced parts of combat, showing how he could use his surroundings for an advantage.

 

A month would pass from them, and while Jurgen and Avis were training, a courier arrived. He gave a letter to Avis, and after a minute of reading over it's contents, Avis looked up to Jurgen and began to explain that he had to leave for his hometown, Westport, because his sister was dangerously ill and would most likely not survive to the end of the month. Given the time this happened, Jurgen was left with little guidance; his father needed required to travel far south to attend a wedding between his sister, Margaret, and a rich merchant named Galev Indosil, for a month. Jurgen's mother was still in Metterden at the time, and he found that she was able to continue his teaching in the leather-works, which she showed him the proper procedure for obtaining leather and such from animal breeders.

 

When Jurgen's father returned, Avis sent word that he would not be returning, as he found that his sister had a son, Aren Langevold, that had yet to be raised fully. He was eleven at the time, and Avis explained that he would remain as the acting parent, but that Jurgen had the necessary knowledge to run the leather-works, and that he'd only get better with time and practice. Avis also mentioned that, since he'd not be returning, Jurgen should make an attempt to join the militia (now known as The White Company) for the first time, as he had the proper training with a sword. For three months, Jurgen considered when he would attempt, all while running the leather-works with a small amount of assistance from his mother, since he had not yet found a long-term supplier for the leather he needed.

 

It was a month before he reached age nineteen that he made his attempt to join The White Company of Metterden, and during the process he was asked questions, tested by a member of the Company, and given tasks to complete before he would be considered. He passed the first and last things without much issue, but when he was tested by the Company Trainer, he quickly realized that his training from Avis had more than prepared him for the test, and he bested the Trainer soon after they began. Now a recruit for The White Company, Jurgen continues to run his leather-works smoothly, and practices with the other Company recruits often. Jurgen had followed his father's footsteps, becoming both a soldier, and a leather-worker, and without a doubt has become more than he could have wished for when he first saw his father and Avis training in the barracks.

 

Personality Traits: (what are your character's quirks?; habits?; likes and dislikes?)
He's often quiet, though hardworking and intelligent. He prefers those that put their equal share of work into the things they do and, as a result, dislikes the lazy and those that lie or are dishonorable.

 

Ambitions: (what does your character aspire to be?)
He continuously works to be an honorable and hardworking swordsman and leather-worker, as he wishes to serve The White Company to the best of his ability.

 

Strengths/Talents: (what is your character really, really good at?)
Jurgen is efficient with a sword and practices very often with the other recruits of The White Company.

He is exceptional at traversing the wilderness, having grown up in the semi-rugged town of Metterden.

Jurgen is also decent with leather at a tanning rack, and is practicing his skill so that he may become exceptional as a leather-worker.

 

Weaknesses/Inabilities: (what is a skill that your character needs to work on?)
He is poorly skilled with a bow, because he doesn't have great vision. He can see, but things more than twenty-five yards away are blurry.

Jurgen is slightly quiet, and often doesn't talk as much as others would prefer during conversations.

 

Appearance: (what does your character look like?; how tall are they?; hair color?; scars?)
Jurgen is a tall and lithe man, reaching about 6'1", and is well-muscled. He has steely, emerald-green eyes, and thin black hair. He has three scars along his left forearm, though they're rather faded. He weighs approximately 75 kilograms, and is fit for working during long periods of time due to his training from Avis and the Company.

 

Skin: (please provide us a screenshot of your character’s skin; if you need help, see our screenshot guide here.)
