Season
Winter

Weather
The first great snowfall of a few days prior has coated the lands in a shining white that many would say is beauty embodied. The trees glimmer and chime with ice on their branches, and the evergreens are more vibrant and lively looking than at any other time in the year. The skies are cloudless, and with nothing to insulate the earth, temperatures drop low enough to be dangerous for long amounts of exposure at night.

Announcements
The Battle in Belfhaste Harbor is about to commence; all interested parties should report post-haste

The ice that has taken over the water has finally begun to thin; once it has melted entirely, normal naval activity can resume, as most ships are incapable of traversing such dangerous obstacles as enormous hull-piercing shards of ice. Most ships...

Jaune Moltreze; the blind Archer

Name: Jaune Moltreze

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Country: Lascia

Class: Vassal

Liege: Lady Serena and Lord Gliocas Willow

Starting Town: (For Outlaws and Vigilantes only)

Chosen Weapon: Longbow

Appearance:

He is tall, but not intimidating, unless you count the black mask without eyeholes that covers his face, leaving only his mouth exposed. Under the mask, his eyes are blind and colorless, and the upper half of his face is scorched. His hair is a demure blond, shoulder-length, not standing out easily, and may even be said to be quite frayed. His ears are tucked under the mask and the hair. He wears a brown robe, though his robe easily stands out from the many citizens who usually wear robes; for one thing, his is more like a coat, and he wears a shirt and pants underneath, of a darker shade of brown. His physique is light, almost fragile; his legs and arms are long, spindly, as well as his fingers. He is an archer, even if a blind one; his longbow and quiver he carries on his back. His feet are covered with boots. His voice is light and playful, as well as his steps.

Personality:

Calm, cool, collected, that is who Jaune is, usually. He is completely focused on something almost all the time, extremely persevering, and may do certain things just to accomplish what he wishes to do. Unoccupied, however, he could be extremely naughty, pulling pranks on random people, specially those who think he can't 'see' them. Well, his being idle is rare, as he is almost always bent on accomplishing some task, either for himself or for another, and the only things that distract him are...other tasks. He just cares about everybody else a little too much. He is even more considerate, given that he cannot see how most people look like, and has to rely on his sense of hearing and touch...and largely on his intuition. He is kind, and though certainly not naive, he could be 'blindly' optimistic. He is laconic, often, saying his plans to very few people, the ones he trusts the most. He can be a little secretive.

Biography:

Magic. He was born in Airgialla, but he was among the minority of those who can't do it. His father was a jack-of-all-trades artisan, wacky and all, sometimes scary in his impossible endeavors, but always gets something good for 'side effects'. His mother was a healer, but he had a weird genetic disorder that prevented him from learning magic, no matter how much he persevered. It was one of the disadvantages he wanted to overcome. That was his first goal, to prove that he could be good, even without magic. With only his skill, with only his capacity.

He took up archery. He taught himself, earning a thousand or so bruises and scratches in the process, more than he got from the haphazard experiments of his father, from potion-making, to baking, to making 'inventions' that seemed utterly useless to Jaune. He had tried learning magic from sneaking into his mother's books, and even the local neighbors, but it seemed that the diagnosis was right; he couldn't do it. That was why he doubled his practice in archery. He must be a good archer, skillful enough to beat the most powerful magician, the most powerful Psychic Pokemon. Night and day, whenever his father could not coop him up, or when he was not forced as a comrade or a guinea pig in his father's operations, he would practice. More accurate. More forceful. More balanced. He wanted to be able to hit from any situation. Up close. Very far. Moving. On the edge of a branch, amongst the leaves. He would become the best archer.

That was, until, something happened.

His father tried to do something about blacksmithing, even renting a Charizard for the ordeal. Things got pretty hot and burning, and flames...those were the last things he saw before he lost his sight. Completely. He had to start again. Like with magic, they said it was impossible. Impossible for one to be an archer without eyes. He tried, still. He couldn't stop now. Hardly had the burns healed from his face, he was practicing. He had the same bruises again. The same wounds. He will be like a Zubat. His world will be of darkness, but he will know where to hit. It's a game of blindfold chess, all the time. He slowly got used to it; relying on the sounds, the sensations. But he was back to a beginner again, as far as archery was concerned. There were a few things that he got, a better sense of balance, the loss of difference between day and night, sometimes, dreams and reality...but still, though his hands were practiced, they still have far to go.

He decided he would be a vassal, to be a better archer, and to be of service as well...though in the back of his mind, he wanted to prove to the Lord and Lady Willow that he, a non-magician, would be as much up to the task as a magician. He would gain his mastery back.

RP Sample:

Darkness. Everything was darkness, other than the sounds, the sharp, distinct smells. He could feel the slight echoes bouncing off the walls, the rustling leaves. He touched one of the wooden trunk walls. It felt like everything else, but this was the place where he was told to go. Other than the leaves whispering, it was silent. He liked it that way. It was easier to aim that way. He could feel no one yet, the bold, glaring presence of one who was living, who had blood flowing through their veins. Where could the lady and lord be?

It came to him. Steps. He was amazed at how light they were, how they had gone so long unnoticed to his remaining senses. They blended in perfectly well, as if they were at peace with their surroundings. It was surreal. There were two sets of footprints. He knew who their owners were. He took his bow, and stood in front of the two, and laid it before them. "Lord and Lady Willow," he said, bowing before them, "my bow and my service are yours. I pledge my loyalty and allegiance to your cause and to your will." He smiled, not knowing how their eyes regarded him, their presence merely radiating, a presence that was tempered and kind, not like some of the magicians who were proud of their skills. Their auras were almost completely of peace.

He took off his mask and showed his face to his would-be-lieges, as a sign of his trust in their keeping of him. "I wish to be your Vassal, if you will allow it. Tell me how may I be of assistance, even in the most meager of ways." He put back his mask, and picked up his bow, and waited until they spoke, and allowed him to rise. He hoped they would accept him.

Erm, I'd just like to confirm something...a Pokemon automatically knows all learnable moves of its primary type? I think I read it in a sign-up here somewhere...

I'll take the Houndour, nickname Abishai, male, with egg moves Fire Spin, and Will-o-wisp. XP

Thank you.

Well sort of. It knows all TM moves of its primary type automatically. Anything else has to be learned through leveling or actively taught by ya.
