[Jasyn]

Your character's full name: Serenji Swiftarrow
Age: 22
Species: weasel
Gender: Male
Allegiance: Neutral
Appearance:

Serenji is an unnoticeable heigh barely below average of his species. He is the trademark long and sinewy, with surprising muscle mass oriented in his arms and back. His color is a rust red-brown. On his ears, snout, tail tip, and paws are midnight black striped with white-silver. His eyes are ash-grey and are flecked with forest-green. Along his left arm he has a swirling tribal-ish tattoo in earth-brown.

A scarlet shirt with high-collar and long sleeves to his wrist begin his attire. A yellow diamond-pattern brown viper-skin belt hugs the waist snugly holdin pouches for key molds and a garrote. A deep blue sharkskin jerkin goes over the shirt. His right hand is covered by a full-forearm, fingerless glove of viperskin. It is orange-tigerstripe over white.

Over his normal clothes goes one of three cloaks. Each cloak is peak hooded with a deep hood. Sashes below the neck are used to cover his snout. The cloaks go over his foot paws, and the sleeves are wide and open. The cloaks are open in front, and have a variety of pouches for poisons in every form and hand darts.

One cloak is a plain black. He uses it in the midst of night or in a fortress. Another cloak is mottled with black, browns, and greens of various hues. It's used for forest missions. His last is mottled beige, white, and yellow. Anything on the beach requires this.

Belongings:

Bow

[/b]:A longbow of black dyed ash. The bow is as tall as from his foot paw to neck. Each end has a slight recurve to add tension and access mobility. The twisted fiber string has a silencer on each end to absorb shock and keep the bow silent. The pull of this bow is extrordinarily high, few beasts can pull it back an inch.

Arrows[/b]:He has two. Both arrows have shafts of dark mahogony with crow fletching and obsidian heads.

One group of arrows is snipe oriented. The head is slim and needle-like and the fletching spirals from the head to the nock to add speed and accuracy.

The other group of arrows is used to pierce armor. The head is chisle-shaped and extrordinarily heavy. A cap of iron fits over the nock to add weight to the back and even out the arrow

Quiver[/b]:The quiver is a dyed maroon cloth bag. The cap is steel, and it is big enough to hold 40 arrows. An insignia of black thread forms an arrow in flight going through a spiky ring. The quiver attatches to his right hip.

Longknife[/b]:An archer needs a melee weapon to defend in close quarters. Serenji owns a single long knife that is a foot long and attatches to his left leg. It is twp finger-widths and sturdy. It is made of strong steel, and has a blood channel going up the middle. The blade starts from the bar cross-guard(half the length of the blade) and tapers subtly to a sharp tip. Both edges are keen and can slice a parchment in mid-air. The hilt is rayskin and the pommel is a half-inch spike.[/blockquote]Job or Position:

Sniper for Hire

Personality:

He is a mercinary, therefore he holds loyalty to none but gold. He has no friends, only momentary allies. He has enemies in abundance, and each holds contempt for him. He is perfectly prepared to face each and every one in almost any circumstance. He is emotionless, his capacity is empty of all but greed. Anger, rage, love, sadness and honor hold no meaning for him. He will, however, hunt you down if you have wronged him in anyway, and exact a terrible vengeance. He doesn't seem to care if that happens to him though. He will without regrets leave an employer if his rival has paid enough.

History and Background Information:

grew up far in the remote regions of the north. A dismal camp where everyone fought for food and shelter. The young were forced to fend for themselves at birth, otherwise they would perish in the unrelenting cold winds. His mother threw him into a deep pile of snow when he was born, and he sank deep. Luckily for him, there was an abandoned cavern that no records were written of. He managed to survive a long winter in the cave, sleeping. When summer came, a kindly couple discovered him. They took care of him untill he was eight, when he could easily take care of himself. When he was out foraging for food, his parents sold him to a slaver, and told him about it when he came back to his home. Crying, he was taken away. Yet they turned their backs on him and fingered the gold they got for him. Serenji was crushed. Then his heart turned as cold as the ice-encrusted snow that was his home. He took a knife in the dead of night, and stabbed the slaver multiple times. He stole a bow and quiver of arrows from the armory tent, and tought himself how to use it in the wild. His skill grew, and he wandered south. He eventually came upon a vermin tribe. They tried to kill him, yet he shot most of them. The leader, cowardly and weak, bribed him to become a captain. Serenji agreed, and got his first taste of paid work. He bounced between employers for many years. Killing and mobbing for years. No one has yet to catch this mercenary, though many have tried.

Any other details:

He is a sniper, therefor he rarely misses his shot. When he does, he knows that his target is someone to be reckoned with. Weak and inferior targets are never missed. He is coldy calculating, able to squeeze his way out of any situation. And he is good at hiding. If he doesn't want to be seen, chances are he wont.

He has no friends and a lot of enimies. He has no tolerance of great crowds, and remains sullen if forced into a social event. He isn't good under the spotlight either. If he ever gets forced to do anything in front of a lot of people, he will immediately turn embarrassed and try to wiggle out of said situation.
