In-Character Information
Character’s name: Samuel Kelford
Character’s sex: Male
Character’s race: Human, Heartlander
Character’s age: 23
Biography:
Samuel was born in Johannesburg on The First Seed, 1561. This was to Joseph and Elizabeth Kelford, a merchant and seamstress respectively. His parents were relatively successful in their occupations, despite being commoners. As a result, Samuel was relatively well off in his childhood, and lived in a middle class townhouse in Felson until the age of thirteen. At the age of ten, his father was murdered by a jealous merchant competitor, and as a result took over his father's business. Samuel, however, is not a merchant. He assigned the majority of tasks to assistants and trusted friends. Although he owns the business, he rarely is involved in it, and simply receives a portion of the profits every month. The merchant company headquarters currently resides in Johannesburg.
At the age of thirteen, during a trip to Fi'Ceru, Samuel fell from a significant height while climbing. While this was not great enough to permanently injure him, he grazed a rock on the way down. This resulted in a large, deep gash down his back. Fortunately, the healers in the region were more than capable of fixing this damage. While the wound healed, Samuel still has a large scar as a memory of the accident. During that same year, during the voyage to Axios, Samuel's mother became deathly ill. Samuel and his mother, under the supervision of healers, currently reside in a townhouse in Johannesburg. In the coming months, Samuel hopes to seek mages capable of tutoring him in different types of magic.
Personality Traits: Beginning at an early age, Samuel had a fascination with magic and the races of elves, often traveling to Fi'Ceru. Samuel was often forced by his mother to practice sewing, and as a result has a distinct fear and dislike for the art in general. Samuel is a very practical person in general, usually only wearing or carrying what is necessary. Samuel has a significant sense of honor, and is by no means a bad person. Samuel has an affinity for the cold, and a dislike for the heat.
Ambitions: Samuel aspires to gain vast knowledge of practical magic, and one day be a masterful mage.
Strengths/Talents: In addition to spending much of his time practicing the art of swordsmanship, purely for self defence, Samuel is a quick learner. Although something may be foreign and unknown to him, he is almost always open to learning to things and gaining new knowledge. Samuel is also relatively charismatic, often finding himself able to sway a decision with diplomacy.
Weaknesses/Inabilities: Samuel is not very dexterous, and as a result is very poor at climbing and sleight of hand. He also has an extreme fear of the art of sewing, and generally avoids working with tailors and seamstresses. Samuel has a great dislike for small children, and avoids being around them whenever possible.
Appearance: Samuel is 5'10", an only slightly muscular build, weighs approximately 163 lbs, with dark brown hair, dark blue eyes, and a long diagonal scar across his back.
