Althos Silverblade

Righto, so I took some pictures of the massacre yesterday, figured I'd leave them here; admittedly there aren't many of the actual 'battle' given that it didn't last long enough, though I've got a fair number of the buildup and the sacking, so it's all good. - Silverblades Assemble in the Keep - - Reassembling in Vekaro - - All Troops Move to the Siege Camp - - The Cavalry - - The Trebuchets - - The Siege Camp - - The Sun Begins to Set - - The Spire Looms in the Background - - More Siege Camp - - The Battle Begins - - Soldiers Begin their Advance - - Cavalry on the Move - - The Elven Defenses - - The Cavalry Move East to Engage the Orcs - - Orcs Attack from the Silverblade Keep - - Scaling the Mountain - - The View from Atop the Mountain - - Reclaiming the Keep - - The Orcish "Hot Oil" - - Victory for the Empire - - The Fort Gates Breached - - The King of Holm Partakes in the Looting - - The Location of the Prince's Final Stand - - The City is Sacked - - Ave Oren -

*squints at the picture of the Silverblade Keep* Are those flags flying in different directions?

In Character Name: Thrale Age: 41 Race: Human What are your professions and talents?: My talents are solely in the art of swordsmanship, be that in battles or in the protection of an individual. Previous military experience: I have acted as a sword for hire for some time, working for whomever paid me, so I have seen my fair share of combat, though now I seek to pledge myself to the Silverblades; to hold loyalty to them and them alone. Do you agree to follow the Oath of Allegiance?: I do Out of Character MC Name: niv330 (an alt account of Lord_Kashi hence the forum acc) Do you have skype? (Not Required): Yes, am in the Skype chat Do you have teamspeak? (Not Required): Yes

OOC MC Name: Lord_Kashi Forum Name: Althos Silverblade Skype Name: dat_kashi How active are you: Up until now? Not at all; haven't played for a looooong time, though I would like to return to playing a character that I've had a lot of fun with. Timezone: GMT Date of acceptance to the server: October 2011 or sometime around then. Amount of other Characters you play: One - (or none other than Althos) IC Role Play Name: Althos Silverblade-Forel (though the Forel half is merely a formality, and he rarely uses it unless he's trying to sound fancy) Age: Well he was 37 when I stopped playing him, dunno how old that makes him now, but I like to think that he'd age like fine wine Status in family: Son of Braxis (not married or with children, not really sure why it says he has either on the family tree). Short biography of the character you wish to play: Born to Tara Forel and Braxis Silverblade whilst in Alras (I think that's what it was called anyways) - trained as a smith for a while despite his father's disapproval, due to his fascination with the creation of arms and armour. Trained with the weapons that he forged, and became a proficient swordsman, though he spent a fair amount of time of the vessels of the Navy (was in fact the right-hand man of the Captain of the ship that brought the people over to Anthos from Asulon - hand some pretty swanky quarters on that boat if I do say so myself). Took over Das Boot following the disappearance of his father, Braxis, though the Empire was not at war and the fort did not have to be defended during his time as Count. Went on a self-imposed hiatus during his time in Asulon (my history of what happened in Asulon is rather shaky being as I was not present for most of it, all I remember is the sweet-as Silverblade mansion that we had). Time to return perhaps? Why should do you think this app should be accepted: Because if you say no I will cri. Also I think it's time for some old family members to return.

Althos Silverblade-Forel Nicknames: The second half of his surname is rarely used, so he is usually just Althos Silverblade. Age: 37 Years Gender: Male Race: Human, although he carries some Elven blood from his father, Braxis Silverblade Status: Alive and well Description Height: 6'1" Weight: 162lbs Body Type: Well built, adapted to wearing full plate armour most of the time. Eyes: Deep Green Hair: Thick and brown; generally untidy, but when necessary, it will be combed to one side. Skin: Lightly tanned, with somewhat rough hands from when he was something of a smith. Markings/Tattoos: He has no noticeable scars on himself as he has been in few major conflicts, as well as no tattoos. Health: Healthy Personality: Althos believes honour to be extremely important, acting upon it and remaining true to his word - if he swears something upon his honour, he will not go back on it lightly. He is loyal to his house (Silverblade) as well as the Imperial Family, and would lay down his life for them. One of his flaws is that he is easily irritated and angered by those who will persistently ask him of something, and will snap at those who irritate him in the slightest way. Inventory: Althos almost always wear his greatsword upon his side, and is often clad in armour if this is the case. If not, he will generally wear fine clothes and carry a pouch of minas on his person. Life Style Alignment*: Neutral Good Deity*: The Creator Religion: 'The One True Faith' - the religion of the Holy Oren Empire. Alliance/Nation/Home The Holy Oren Empire - he resides in the capital. Job/Class: In Asulon he was a landed Count - in the present he does not possess land besides his homes, but retains the spoken title of 'Lord' Title(s): The Rt. Honourable, The Lord Althos Silverblade-Forel Profession(s): Whilst he once worked as a smith (though he was not particularly experienced in it) Althos now acts primarily as a swordsman, although he is also a naval man and enjoys being out at sea. Special Skill(s): N/A Flaw(s): Other than being easily irritated and quick to blunder when angry, Althos finds himself lacking in many skills that the common man should know - such as cooking. This is primarily because as a child, he chose not to learn how to look after himself, and simply had his father's servants care for him. Weaponry Fighting Style: Althos fights fully clad in armour, wielding his two-handed greatsword. Preferred Weapon: His large, one-of-a-kind, greatsword. Favored Weapon: Althos has always admired the weapon of Richard Silverblade, despite only having seen it once and not actually used it. Archery: Althos greatly dislikes the bow, believing it to be the weapon of a coward. Parents: Father: Braxis Silverblade Mother: Tara Forel Siblings: None that he has met, or has been made aware of. Children: None Extended Family: The members of House Silverblade Pet(s): None History WIP Artwork A couple of pencil sketches I drew of Althos, to give a better idea of his appearance than the Minecraft skin does.

Huzzah!

(( Very nicely written, good job Braxis. ))

[[ We humans would be lost without Game of Thrones :P ]]

Also Count Althos Silverblade should be on that list
