A large scale deformity is found on Geerd’s shoulder, it crosses the scales one over top of another making the illusion of a dent in his skin.

    Likes

    • Reading, as a hatch-ling he always loved the feel and smell of a new book in his hands, it gave him pleasure being able to tell his brother when he was wrong about the history of Hadar and the different battles that took place there.
    • Sword play, as he grew up his taste for battle was never quenched he enjoyed the sparring matches he and his brother would have during their nightly family time he would show off to his parents in hope they would get him formal teaching from the towns guard.
    • People, ever since he found the monastery in Daendroc, Geerd has loved the company of people around him, much so that he will try to get people in his company to bring their friends along on whatever they're doing.

    Dislikes

    • Crowds, when he grew up the town he lived in was infested by thieves and murderers so when he was young everyone was a threat and therefore he has a distaste towards crowds as he sees them as a crucial point of where one can die.
    • Archers, he sees the bow wielding fast moving archers as cowards unwilling to move to the front lines and chop down foes with a sword or axe.
    • Vampires, Geerd has a natural dislike towards what he sees as blood sucking freaks of nature caused by a curse that, in his head brought about the destruction of the great beasts of the sea, the sea serpents.
    • Vespids, Geerd has a distaste towards Vespid ever since his father had been killed by a swarm of these "beasts" as he refers to them sometimes.
    Abilities and Disabilities


    Strengths


    • Geerd Has trained most of his life with his shortsword causing him to understand the quirks and flaws of his blade, allowing him to fight with much skill compared to his formal education with a sword
    • he also has a massive amount of determination, prefering to fight to the last breath then to run away and hide this mind set also traversed into his education finishing everything to the best of his abilities before thinking about testing it on someone.
    • Geerd’s mind is one of his most powerful assets when working with people, he can usually pick up on subtle hints and then use them to push at certain points mentally that might cause the person to slip up causing “stress” to the persons mental load.
    Weaknesses

    • Geerd has no legs and as of such cannot move faster than a fast slither, he cannot jump or climb ladders this causes him to somtimes look clumsy as he has to find other ways of movement.
    • One of his biggest flaws emotionally is that Geerd is too respectful and trusting, sometimes allowing people to learn things about himself that he should have kept hidden, Geerd’s life is sometimes an open book.
    • Geerd’s unique style of fighting is more of a game to him and therefore he might make a few mistakes that can lead to someones demise, problem is he might not care enough to protect those mistakes openly allowing someone to strike him in order to strike where he wants oversighting simple things.
    Combat Styles
    • Geerd is an extremely offensive oriented fighter, using his sword and his body in a dance like movement can cause would be opponents to find it challenging to find spots to attack while Geerd finds the use of his tail and his blade perfect for the large opportunities he finds

    Weapons of Choice

    • Geerd mainly uses a simple hadarian shortsword, a small slightly curved blade with an ornate hilt and handguard with the images of the serpents attacking one another at the tail.

    • The second weapon in use by Geerd are two small throwing knives, kept in his armor, they have no hilt though a large dull grip is the only piece of the knife that isn’t sharpened.

    Relationships​
    (( Most of these are from an ongoing forum RP and are yet to be confirmed))
    Geerd works under the baron for Fong and sometimes even does a few odd jobs for the
    maiar, Geerd also thinks of Morei as a friend and sometimes even a mentor.

    One of the first Naga Geerd met after finding Nlisse he found a friend in Theren, he enjoys listening to Theren and sees the point in his hope to bring the naga race back to its rightful glory.

    One of the only naga in Nlisse Geerd has yet to trust Lanaskan just seems off to Geerd and he thinks its got something to do with his almost xenophobic hatred of the kades.


    Life Story​

    Birth:

    When Geerd was a young naga the events of the great battle of Feng Huang were just completed, he and his family were left alone in the ruined city. They had the needed supplies of a small wooden hut with small farm of wheat and a lone blade. They lived in comfort moving from section to section in the city gathering small trinkets and items they could use or sell to the few traders that came around the small hut. Most times these traders were nice and gave the two young lings a small discount for the meat and water they needed dearly.


    Youth

    When Geerd turned 8 his family decided it was time they leave their small hut in the ruined city and start to find if any other family or friends had survived the war. what they found shocked them, the once great city that had been the imperial capital had been all but been destroyed.


    They left the ruins in search of a new area of Hadar they could claim, somewhere they new might not exist, somewhere without the destruction the Kades had brought upon the land. The family lived a nomad's life for the next few years always on the move sleeping in small caves, gathering edible plants and fungi from the ground around them.


    When Geerd's 12th birthday came along they finally found a small clearing that had just enough fertile land to start a small farm. The group lived in comfort for the next few years but as they say, "all good things must come to an end," the settlement was attacked by a group of vespids, they swarmed the house ripping the fresh seeds from the ground. Before the family new what hit them the house was bombarded by vespid after vespid. Geerds father was barely able to hold his own before the swarm of insects descended and ripped the man to shreds.


    Geerd was traumatized, all he could recall was the sadness of seeing his father laying on the ground, a glossy look to his once shifting eyes. Once they managed to find a new area to rest, Geerd began to become antisocial preferring the company of the few books they managed to scrounge from the old cities than that of his remaining family.


    Young adult

    After the initial shock of loosing his father Geerd's brother took over the role of protecting his younger brother and their mother, they continued moving forward always on the lookout for the once docile creatures that had killed their father.


    Years later the group found their way back to the old wooden hut that stood tall over the many years they were gone. Seeing no alternative they set up once again searching through the city looking for something that could save their lives. Eventually Geerd turned 17 and was lucky enough to find a small short sword lying in the rubble of the small blacksmith that used to run nonstop during the nights of the great war. Geerd, who with luck found the blade to be a perfect fit for his small hands, took to the weapon and began practicing with it, excitement turned to anticipation as the young adult soon hoped he could have a run in with the beings that took his father from him.


    Though the true goal was to make it to Regalia, the only city that could offer him a challenge he could not resist, a match with the only army he ever knew able to totally destroy an empire. He got that chance when after sneaking to Daendroc happened apron a small monastery, found it was inhabited by a group of monks who needed protection, in return he could leave with the first person willing to take him. He found that person in his friend William Cinnaeus who happily took it upon himself to get the naga to the Rim isles from there Geerd was on his own.


    Only after meeting a certain Mr Morei was he able to properly make his first journey to the great holy city and in return now works for the baron helping him with his, personal matters.

    Aside from the two links that take me to the Forums Homepage in the Life Story, the character looks very well put together! I am approving with the assumption that you will remove these links to avoid confusion. :)
    Please, enjoy this character!
