Cullen the Grandblade

[blackfox7]

Your character's full name: Cullen Stalanji the Grandblade
Age: 58 years, 1 season
Species: Ferret (Possibly part Wearet)
Gender: Male
Allegiance: Good
Appearance:

Cullen is a massive ferret with possible ancestry linking him to the Wearets of the past (his small ears being the best clue). His fur is somewhat short and sable-colored, excepting the fur on his throat and abdomen, which is cream-colored. His back and shoulders are covered with a network of pinkish scars that shows through his fur. The mask-like pattern characteristic of ferrets is slightly different with Cullen: it's cream colored instead of black or dark brown. He wears a polished silver-plated breastplate decorated with a carved pelican, and he wears this overtop of a chainmail tunic with no sleeves. He also wears dark blue pants and silver-plated shin guards clasped over them. His eyes are a dark, mild-hued amber, and his claws are clipped short so as to not interfere with his swordsbeastship skills.

Belongings:

His silver-plated armor articles, his long lance with serrations on the slashing blade, and the vunerable, chipped claymore that he's had for decades are his most prized possesions. He keeps the claymore in a black leather scabbard decorated with garnets and silver beads lashed to his back, and he also carries a canteen of mineral-enriched water that "hightens the awareness of the body and mind in battle".

Job or Position:

Retired Lueitenant for a far-off kingdom.

Personality:

Cullen is a very meek and mild creature, but when goodbeasts are threatened he is very courageous in battle. Still, he tends to be passive and will fold under non-battle related pressures. He never says much, but what he does say is short and full of experience. He talks to himself often, which reveals that he is a very intelligent creature of a contemplative nature.

History and Background Information:

Cullen was born in a country to the east of Southsward into a caring family that encouraged their young to follow their hearts. When he was 7 years old he became enrolled in the royal education system, studying literature, astronomy, and most of all weapons training. He learned to use such arms as a sling, a lance, a longbow, a sword up to the size of a zweihander, and a ball and chain. The King of the eastern lands soon recognized him as having great potential as a warrior and a strategist, and promoted him to Luietenant whan Cullen was only 16. Not long afterwards the kingdom was thrust into a war with a neighboring falcon dynasty in the mountains. The young Luietenant was forced to lead his regiment of 800 into an open battle against over 1000 trained falcon braves. In the course of the 2-day battle Cullen came face to face with the Emperor of the Falcons. The falcon and the ferret engaged in combat that lasted for about 4 hours, which ended in the falcon carrying Cullen high over the earth and trying to drop him, but Cullen managed to strangle the falcon Emperor with his swordbelt. Miraculously Cullen survived the fall with only a few broken bones. When he was strong enough to walk with only one crutch he was awarded a wonderous set of silver armor, a long lance, and a legendary claymore for his bravery.

Cullen found a wife 5 years later and had one son, whom he named after the King. The next 12 years of his life were focused on peace and raising his son. The ailing King died a season later, prompting the people of the Kingdom to ask Cullen to take up the crown, but Cullen refused, instead passing the position to his young son("He had wanted it anyway."). Confident that his home would be safe, he set out to repair his aging claymore...
