Name: Gwyar Ariethous Fraoch.
Nickname(s)/Title(s): Aries, Khorne, War God, Skull Lord.
Age & Grade: 16 & 11th. (December 21st Birthday.)
Gender: Male.
Sexuality: Closeted Demisexual.
Class(es): Knight (Primary) & Cleric (Secondary).
Appearance:
Gwyar resides at a height of 6’ 4”, a rather intimidating height to most. Though even how he holds himself is enough to intimidate most, he practically adds another inch with how confidently he holds himself. His skin tone is pale ivory-porcelain with neutral undertones, which adds to his overall paler, sicker look. He has almost no freckles on his body, except for one or two here and there.
--
Gwyar has a diamond face shape, meaning he has a smaller forehead and a smaller chin, and the middle of his face is wider, the whole thing on the longer side. His cheeks are on the slimmer side. Now for the nose, something that he’s glad about is the fact that it is an aquiline shaped nose, meaning it's the stereotypical 'normal' nose. His lips are downturned in shape, making confident, sly smirks or thin, pressed lines as his resting expressions.
--
His eyebrows are rather thick in thickness, with a rather obvious arch. Finally his eyes, these are a deepest hooded. His eyes are a deep, warm amber-brown that makes them almost seem red. His face is framed by wavy, red hair that has blonde highlights going through it, all completely natural. The back of his hair is fluffier than the front by a long shot, and the back of it goes to his shoulders in length, the front goes down to his chin. It’s usually tidy and out of his face in either a ponytail, a bun, or a braid.
--
His body structure could quickly be described as rectangular, a short torso matched with longer legs, everything about him screams lanky. Especially when taking into consideration the fact that this man weighs at around 140 lbs, his BMI at a 17.04, underweight by 12 pounds.
--
Gwyar is one to really care about what he’s wearing, though he acts like he doesn’t. EIther way, he’s usually wearing darker, but brighter clothing that follows the same pattern. Sweater, jacket/hoodie or cardigan, baggy jeans, and military style boots. The usual colors for these are black or gray sweaters, red & black jacket/hoodie or cardigan, black baggy jeans, and red & black military style boots. It’ll rarely stray from this color scheme, though if it does it’s usually to add some more grays, blacks, or reds. He also wears a silver chain necklace, along with a few silver finger bands/rings; for what he says is good luck. He also has white stud earrings that he wears at all times.
--
Now for the ‘fun’ part… Scars. Gwyar has plenty of scars. Mostly at his forearms. Though he does have one that goes from the right corner of his lip all the way up to right under his right eye. He also has one that looks like a slash across his neck. As well as a scar that goes from the top of his left eyebrow to his hairline. Lastly, he has many scars littering his scalp, all hidden by his hair.
Permanent Damage:
A curse that results in bloodlust/bloodthirst from even the simplest of wounds(like a papercut) being in a three feet radius of him. This curse also sharpens his senses and makes him unable to differentiate between a friend or foe. Each time this happens, it lasts indefinitely, being stopped only by either something sudden/loud enough to catch him off-guard or enough damage being dealt to him at once(something of equivalent force of something falling on his head) that he gets shocked back to normal by the pain.
--
He has another curse that just really makes the first one worse. Any enemies that he kills, he will start to hear their voice in his head. With the exact personality and memory of who he is that they had while alive. Which usually turns them into really mean devils that he has to deal with on top of literally everything else.
Personality:
To put simply, Gwyar is loud, confident, and laidback. He doesn’t care what anyone else says or does or thinks. He has a very ‘Who cares what the world says? What matters most is what you say’ mindset.
--
Of course though, that’s only how he shows himself. Quite honestly… He cares- A lot. His ego is very easy to break, and ten times as hard to build up again.
--
He’s fiercely loyal, and it’s both a downfall and an asset. Both for the same reason. He’ll never betray someone once he sees them as a friend. Once a friend, always a friend. Even if they end up hurting him too many times to count. This has caused quite a few toxic relationships that had only ended due to dumb luck.
--
Something else that’s a blessing and a curse is how honest he is. Which is very. The only way he can lie is by hiding things- And even then… If someone finds out and questions him on it, he’ll end up telling the truth. This has caused his loyalty and honesty to have many internal battles- The outcome tends to depend on whether or not he subconsciously knows what he’s hiding will end up causing more harm by lying than not.
--
More often than not, what he’s hiding is how he truly feels. It’s just about the only thing that he doesn’t have to battle honesty v loyalty with, either.
--
Guilt is something that is very easy for him to feel… It doesn’t matter how long ago it was; if he’s reminded of it in a way that could make it seem like it was his fault- Then he’ll take that to heart. And no matter if someone else tells it in a different way later on where it wouldn’t seem like his fault; the guilt will linger.
--
To him; actions speak louder than words. People can lie with words but it’s harder to lie with actions. And even his own lying, when he does it, tends to follow this pattern. It’s harder for him to act fine than it is to say that he’s fine. He can wake up and say he’s fine, but he needs a few minutes to actually work himself into acting fine.
--
He also has absolutely no social skills. This being attributed to the fact that he only really ever had the voices that decided to come in as those to talk to after his sister’s death, and the bullies that had decided that he was a good target, and the days on end where he wasn’t able to leave his room. So social interactions, cues, and skills are practically nonexistent.
Strengths:
Secrets; He may suck at lying. But hiding things and keeping secrets? Wow, it’s so easy. After all, distracting people from the truth is a way of hiding things, not lying- And that’s kind of what he defaults to under pressure. Even with himself.
Tolerance/Endurance; There’s a reason he doesn’t have any physical permanent damages. And another as to why God is part of one of this dude’s titles.
Loyal; Once trusted, always trusted. He doesn’t betray those he cares about, ever. He expects the same, but won’t complain if that isn’t what comes to pass.
Stealth; He’s great at being quiet and eavesdropping, light on his feet and flexible enough to make sure no one catches him.
Adaptable; He’s actually very good at switching between things like terrains, advantages/disadvantage, offense/defense, solo/teamwork, and weapons.
Weaknesses:
Lying; He cannot come up with lies to save his life. He’s more likely to try and distract someone than to lie blatantly to their face. He sucks at it that much. Though, at least he’s aware of that fact.
Trust Issues/Paranoia; Yeah. Turns out that magical cults trying to kill you don’t actually help with learning to trust people and being more open with people. Who would’ve thought?
Loyal; Ah, the other side of the coin. Once trusted, always trusted. Doesn’t matter how many times someone hurts him. And that sucks.
Self-Esteem Issues/Social Skills; He sucks at believing in himself and he sucks at talking(probably because he sucks at believing in himself). Someone else need encouragement? Easy! He can encourage them to the point where it’s borderline intimidating. But if he needs encouragement? Yeah… Nah. He has no idea how to do that.
Emotions; He sucks at dealing with emotions. Especially negative ones like stress, powerlessness, hurt, sorrow, and the like. If he feels as though someone has betrayed him or as though everything is getting to be too much for him to handle- He won’t do anything about it other than bottle it up, pretend it isn’t there, and try to distract himself from it. Which usually leads to him getting conflicted/mixed feelings and/or things getting worse.
Equipment:
Sabre of War; A sabre that enhances his battle insight, strategy, and overall ability in battle. It was his main weapon and a cause for one of his titles.
Oakeshott XII of Sense; An oakeshott type XII that would allow him to find the location of his teammates(no matter how far) and enemies(in a one mile radius). He often used it if separated from the others or, if they knew an attack was coming, he’d use it until he sensed enemies and then alert the rest of the group. To use it, he has to be holding it(this only gives him a general sense of direction and an idea of how to get to teammates) or have it planted in the ground King Arthur style(this gives him its full effect).
Gladius of Stealth; A gladius that, when held, acts as a stealth boost/aid, allowing him easier access to sneak/surprise attacks and ambushes.
Tomahawk of Mercy; A tomahawk that if it strikes, it strikes clean. The name comes from the idea that clean cuts are more commonly seen as a mercy, since they can either kill faster or be healed faster.
Armor of Protection; In theory, anyone could wear this armor without being slowed down, regardless of class or strength. Though he hasn’t really ever tested this theory, since he hasn’t felt the need to. It’s also supposed to slow one’s bloodshed. It’s basically just supposed to live up to its name.
Bag of Storage; One of his less creative names, it’s a regular, old, red duffel bag. Except for the fact that it’s kind of like Mary Poppins bag, since it can hold way more than it should be able to. It also doesn’t actually hold the weight of the things inside of it, so it’s much easier to carry than something holding armor, weapons, and god knows what else should be.
Skull of Terror; Full warning and disclosure… Please do not ask if this skull is real or not, as he may or may not know the answer. Now that, that’s out of the way! This is a skull. That he found. It’s easily the upper skull to some kind of creature; what exactly? No idea. But he wears it as a face mask regardless. And whoever meets his eyes while he wears it gets paralyzed with fear, giving him the perfect opportunity for an attack!

History:
His mother was a single mother who was almost always at a bar or club. When she wasn’t, she was with some man.
--
For the first few years of his life, he was left home with his older sister. Who tried to give him the world, even if it was practically impossible for the 9 year old sister.
--
When he was 6, he learned quickly about the hardships of the world, to put it lightly. When he was 6, his older sister couldn’t take it all anymore and committed suicide, right before his eyes. There was no funeral, as his mother didn’t care nor did she have the money.
--
For the next three years, he dealt with bullying and parental neglect on his own. The neglect usually consisted of locking him in his room for days or just plain out ignoring him completely. The bullying was because he was seen as ‘too sensitive’ and ‘insane’. He took these words to heart.
--
When he was 9, he ran away from home; taking only a small pocket knife with him. For a year he lived on the streets, and then he was found. They first tried to find his parents, it was found out that his mother had overdosed in his absence, and that his father had been dead for years. So instead, he was placed into an orphanage.
--
He learned quickly that no one would want him due to the same reasons he had been bullied. He stopped telling people how he felt.
--
When he was 12, he burned down the orphanage and ran away again. Whether this was on accident or not, he isn’t sure. He isn’t even completely sure he was awake when he did it.
--
He was unofficially adopted when he was 13. Meaning he was taken in and offered him a place to stay as long as he helps the two adults with whatever they asked him to help with and didn’t complain or make his presence known. Of course, it’s a bit hard for someone to go completely unnoticed and obedient for 3 years, so they ended up sending him to Redcliff after an incident that they couldn’t just ignore like they usually did.
Reputation:
Ah. Gwyar was seen as the awkward, weird, outsider kind of person. The kind of guy you didn’t want to get involved with in case they were a drug addict or stoner. Also kind of the type of guy that you saw in the hallways and either glared at, scoffed at, ignored, or stared at with either fear or admiration. He didn’t make friends easily, but enemies? Definitely. He managed to get into so many fights. And win most of them, too. Now… Not much has really changed. Though he gets into fights either more often or less often(nobody can tell) and he wins every single one now(not much is a threat compared to the magical cult).
Relationships: Open, PM me. He was in a toxic relationship before being sent to the camp, but who knows what’ll happen with that now that he’s faced off against an entire magical cult.

Other: The words "It/Its/It's" can trigger him, though only if he's extremely tired or if his head is being too loud. Even when he isn't though, he tends to avoid the words in his own speech, though he hasn't really told anyone else of this trigger.

Tell me if any of this needs to change, I just saw an opportunity and decided to take it.
