    Basic Information (Required)

    • Age: 25 years old
    • Gender: Male
    • Race: Maiar
    • Main Ambition: Taner seeks to become a great doctor through study and practice as well as to create a safe and stable environment where he can develop a personal life free from the strain of past traumas.
    • Special Permission: N/A
    • School: School of Turall (Past)
    • Level: Fighter
    • Source: Private Tutor paid for by his Godfather

    • School: School of Biology (Current)
    • Level: Student
    • Source: Academy of Theron’s Hand
    Visual Information (Required)
    • Eye Color: Yellow
    • Hair Color: N/A
    • Hair Style: N/A
    • Skin Color: Various Shades of Grey (#8E97A9, etc.) and Blue
    • Clothing: Usually a nice cloth shirt, a pair of decent trousers, and some shoes or boots but occasionally something fancier for formal events if he feels he needs to impress someone.
    • Height: 6’ 9”/205.74 cm.
    • Body Build: Muscular
    • Weapon of Choice: Finely Honed Sword
    Personality and Abilities (Required)
    • First Paragraph: Taner is seen as a kind person who genuinely cares for people and tries to help them but most people who know him also see he is at times flighty and easily distracted. Taner at first glance is definitely hardworking and kind but if you don’t look close enough or bother to spend the time and effort to know him you won't see past his occasional stubbornness and naivete.
    • Second Paragraph: Taner is a pretty relaxed person with minimal anxiety, caused by the general stress of life and school, and he generally acts very ecstatic about the things and people in his life. He feels confident in himself most of the time not usually hindered by crowds and challenges unless they’re possibly lethal and he feels only the slightest dissatisfaction with himself when confronted by some names and events from his past.
    • Third Paragraph: Taner acts very nonchalant around friends and relatives because to him they are just people who he cares and trusts slightly more than strangers and he feels no real need to be super formal because if they did expect extreme formality then they wouldn't be true friends who appreciate him for him or family he would want to spend time with. Taner can be a bit nervous around those he is dating because he wants to present his best self but as a relationship progresses he feels more at ease due to an increasing feeling of intimacy. Friends and family see him as hardworking and kind like anyone would but they know him on a level where they can see past his flighty and freedom loving nature to his inner stability and happiness loving self.
    • Fourth Paragraph: Taner is a neutral good character meaning while he values law and rules he feels that when they don't serve the cause of good more than they hinder it there may need to be an exception. He does value people's lives but he feels that some people deserve less than desirable fates (i.e. Criminals and other black hearted people) meaning he won't interfere with the pain of the deserving but if the innocent suffer immediate action must be taken. Taner hates physically fighting people because he fears for both sides safety meaning fighting is the last resort for him. He would most accurately be called just as he hates to see innocent people suffer though he is not perfect in his judgement meaning he can wrongly accuse a person on the grounds of past, possibly unrelated, behavior.
    Talents
    • Aquatic Abilities- Taner is a Maiar meaning in addition to being adapted to land is he also acclimated to underwater as well. The skills he has underwater include extended breathing time, faster swimming speeds, and better overall maneuverability. These proficiencies mean that Taner can be a formidable adversary around and in water and he enjoys being in places with good water access.
    • Turall Training- Taner was given private instruction by a combat expert from the school of Turall allowing him to reap the benefits of their particular training style. He has enhanced physical attributes, such as strength, endurance, and stamina, from several years of a strenuous physical regiment, greater skill with small blades in combat including dual wielding, and he is a great dancer. These skills culminate in Taner being a formidable opponent in combat and on the dance floor to many lesser foes.
    • Jack of Many Trades- Taner spent a little over a year roaming Regalia picking up many interests and skills and before that he had to exert a certain level of self-sufficiency when his mother and father got sick, respectively, meaning while he may not be a master of anyone, of the minor skills he has obtained, he does know a lot of interesting things that can be very helpful at any time. These skills include cooking and baking skills, and a some knowledge of geography, and a few other minor abilities . These skills aren't meant to save anyone's life but they make great conversation starters and allow him to host interesting dinner parties.
    • Medical Proficiency- Taner has spent about the last six year devoted to studying the immense amount of medical knowledge Regalia has to offer by attending the Medical Academy of Theron's Hand and achieving the level of student. This rank comes with the knowledge such as "the basic principles of bone structure, the functioning of the humors and established herbology and medical practices for ailments". He has spend a good few years learning this knowledge and he hopes to one day achieve expert and help people as a doctor working in and around Regalia.
    • Strict Diet- Taner is a carnivorous Maiar meaning that his diet consists only of meat. This does not mean he cannot eat non-meat food it in fact translates to him deriving no usable nutrition from anything that isn't meat. Most non-meat foods such as potatoes, bread, and carrots are also accompanied by terrible intestinal distress due to the challenge his body faces endeavoring to process foods he wasn't meant to consume.
    • Limited Armament- Due to Taner's physic and stature he is restricted in the armor he can bare. The most protective armor he can wear is chain and only when is is specially modified to fit his immense build. This limitation reduces the protection he has in battle meaning that any hit can be a finishing blow, and he must also rely more on cunning in combat rather then brutish force.
    Life Story (Required)

    Taner was born March 13th 280 in the waters of Northern Hader. His mom, Leila Akana, was a teacher and his father, Kekoa Akana, was one of the tribe's greatest warriors and they raised him together until the Chrysant War forced many Maiar tribes to the surface. While Taner’s tribe was mostly unaffected by the rise of the great serpents his father was called to the cause of the fight against the Essa Empire and for 3 years his mother raised Taner alone. During the 3 years his father was gone Taner’s mother became sick and seemed very close to dying. When Taner’s father returned he immediately took Taner and Leila to the surface to a life he hoped would be more stable than their tribe could provide. For several months after the move, Taner was happy and his mother was recovering but then Leila began to feel ill again and 2 weeks before his 12th birthday she died. After this Taner was of course sad and angry as anyone would be, but his father refused to show weakness and pretended to be unmoved by this tragedy. Months passed and as Taner came to terms with his lose his father became unstable, not only because of his beloved’s death but also due to some lingering shell shock from his soldier days. When Taner was 13 his father sent him to live with his godfather, Lord William Landon who Kekoa served beside, due to Kekoa’s worsening mental state. Almost as soon as he arrived Taner was given private combat lessons from a Turall combat expert as William wanted him to be a solider like he had, but he disliked the perspective of becoming of solider and being affected by it like his dad, so he ran away from William and his manor when he was a little older then 18. Taner spent less then a year learning, working, traveling around Anglia, and he acquired new skills and interests in this time. Such as when an inn keeper he was working got ill like his mother and was treated by a doctor from the capital. After this he became fascinated with medicine and becoming a doctor and he moved to Regalia to join the Medical Academy of Theron’s Hand. To this day he lives and works in Regalia affording a comfortable living and studying medicine.

    @Valentinian I changed some lore in-compliant details in his skill information and life story, and I changed his weakness to a less weird and annoying trait.

    Here's my review -
    • Basic Information
      • Expand on your character's main ambition. Currently it lends little-to-no direction to the character of Taner. I want to see you put some thought into this.
    • Talents
      • Please include the fact that you've learned both Turall and Biology in this section so as to provide a proper balance. Preferably as their own individual talents.
    • Weaknesses
      • The notion that he is specifically bad at archery isn't so much of a weakness as it is something that everyone who hasn't used a bow exhibits. Please find something else to balance out the various skills/strengths this character has.
    Mark this change in red and tag me when you're done.

    I want you to add a physical weakness because your currently capabilities are too excessive.

    Would you be able to provide an example of one such weakness as the few that I came up with don't seem to be very good.
    For reference they are:
    • A sensitivity to dry, hot environments which make him tire faster.
    • Extremely sensitive "pressure points" located on his back, arm, and neck which can immobilize him, incapacitate him, or cause severe pain to various degrees.
    • An inability to wear most armor, chain mail would be the most protective still allowing him to move, due to his immense stature.

    @Valentinian
    I changed the name of Taner's godfather because I mistook an active noble family for an inactive one. I don't believe this changes anything of consequence, but I do believe it will reduce confusion in the future.
