Full Name: Ardocc Iroqal
Other name: None
Race: Human
Side: Neutral
Birthplace: Aroughs
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Birthday: October 17
Eyes: Brownish Yellow
Hair: (Update) Brown, disheveled, and shaggy. Hes a few natural dreads in it. Goes past his shoulders with streaks of blonde through it.
Weight: 164
Height: 6' 2"
Magic User: (update) Not quite. Well really not at all. He has never tried but has heard alot about it. Witnessed it constantly, and is not afraid of it, but is able to live without it.
After a hard blow to his head in a recent skirmish he began to notice a larger presence in his own mind. Upon realization that it was his own larger consciousness he became very confused. He had never before that day contacted another or protected his own mind and he has yet to experience the abilities.
Clothing: (update) He wears a light colored cloth shirt with long sleeves and a deep V-ed neck. Nowadays it is quite ragged and the sleeves are getting torn and stained from fighting. He wears brown-ish leggings that are getting worn at the knees and his black leather boots are thin in the heels and falling apart. He enjoys going bare foot most of the time though. He has a long brown knee-length coat for when the weather is rough. It is heavy and nautical. it was his father’s. He is wearing it quite a bit now that he is traveling.
Preferred Weapon(s): Having lost his sword (which he is not quite adept with) he began using a large urgal longbow. It was nearly 5 foot in length and was made of a hard black substance as thick as his wrist. For close combat he wields a polearm with a slightly curved 2 ft long blade at the end of a 6 foot hardwood pole. He proves specifically adept at this weapon naturally, and is his only real combat skill. Additionally he wields a black dagger with a silver 'A' wrought on the hilt; a gift from Torin.
Personality: He is very driven and hard working. He has a very good time with others, but it is hard in these untrusting years. His habits almost seem immature but it's mostly because people are being overly mature. He is getting older and hanging around with younger people as he is traveling makes him want to be their father-like role model. He is a happy man nonetheless, always joking or telling a tale, also listening to whomever is telling their own tale. When fighting he has learned to be more tactical and examine his opponents. He has been bashed and bloodied too many times to be considered the man that he started out as, but he is calculated now in return.
Likes/Dislikes: Likes reading and archery hunting. He likes his ship and his freedom and responsibility. He dislikes liars, cheaters, and those who don’t know their way around a boat.
Family: Mother: Marolei Iroqal Father: Olbrode Iroqal Sister: Kalywien Iroqal His mother and sister are back home. His father died from disease mush like trench fever, which is typhus related, when Ardocc was 17 and had learned everything he needed to by that time. He worked as a delivery service on his small ship to support his small family.
Brief History: Ardocc’s father was trained by his father who was trained by the varden, so his father trained him in the same ways. Ardocc realized that his family could never survive if they had no income so he decided to take over the business that his father had left quite unfinished. His father had no immediate allegiance, but it was rumored that in his history there was involvement in the Varden, but nothing really documented. Now he spends his time sailing the seas around Alagaesia and usually needs to travel inland to complete the deliveries. He is sometimes forced to make deliveries for the Varden. He figures that the empire must have their own specific deliverers. Or maybe they use him and he doesn't know it. He has never been attacked on a voyage but he never puts the thought from his head.
His family is quite poor. He runs himself ragged by doing job after job and sending all the funds back home and never keeping much for himself.
(UPDATE)
During one such delivery in Teirm, Ardocc chanced upon a boy by the name of Torin. Torin was a young and talented thief, but not so talented as to not be found. Shortly after meeting Ardocc offered to shelter his new friend for the night in his small ship. During the night attackers set the deck of the vessel aflame and left them for dead.
They spent the next year or so with various companions completing missions that Ardocc participated in for revenge and to garner some wealth for his family. They rarely proved successful, but taught Ardocc that life was much more than just being a delivery boy, that he wanted to do great things and to make great his family's name. Now he has began to use the things that the young thief taught him to study the wealthy.
Anything Extra: He has an extraordinary ability to hold his breath.
