Name: Argon Blademaster (Colin Wildlough)
Gender: Male
Age: 32
Species: River Otter
Occupation: Originally a normal otter, Colin is now the hardened freelancer Argon Blademaster.
Physical Appearance:
Argon is tall and muscular, even for an otter. His face is darkly handsome, though filled with a hate than burns like fire. Argon has rough brown fur over his entire body except on his shoulder where he was tattooed. This tattoo is shaped like a eye with eight arrows coming out of it, and is clearly visible on his skin when his tunic is off. Argon's paws are webbed like all otters, giving him powerful swimming abilities. His eyes are as black as night, and as deep as an eternity of suffering. Argon has an unusual feature which sets him apart from others of his kind. He has a black stripe staring above each eye, running down his back, and ending at the tip of his thick rudder-like tail. He wears a dark brown tunic held on by a snakeskin belt. Over top of this he wears a strong black cape with a hood attached.
Possessions:
Argon's main weapon is a longsword with a black hilt and an iron guard and pommel. He carries two daggers that match it. Over his back he carries a pouch in which he carries food and other necessities. He has a heavy blanket for sleeping outside rolled up and strapped to the top of his bag.
Personality:
Argon has a dark and uncaring personality. He is full of a bottled up hatred, deep and everlasting. When interacting with other beasts, he tends to be rude and straightforward. The troubles of other creatures are annoyances to him, and their pain is his only pleasure. He seeks revenge on all things, whether or not they have harmed him. But he is a smart brute, an intelligent monster. His skills in battle are without question. He uses stealth and cunning in a deadly mixture with brute force to win the day.
Strengths:
Physical Strength: Argon has strength of iron, figuratively speaking. Even other otter would find it hard to face him one on one.
Blademaster: Argon is a master with all bladed weapons, hence his surname.
Swimming: Being an otter, swimming comes naturally for Argon. He is just as deadly in the water as on land.
Weaknesses:
Climbing: Argon can not climb, and is slightly afraid of heights.
Bows: Argon can not fire a bow and hit anything!
History:
Colin Wildlough was born on Green Isle in the dead of winter. He grew up the same way as any other otter, playing and swimming. But there was one thing that set him apart. He was a trouble maker. Colin would form little gangs around him and cause destruction and mayhem.
But worse of all, he would steal. At first it was just little things, food and the like. But soon he progressed on to money and trinkets. Finally, he began taking valuable family heirlooms and prized possessions of the tribe. Searches were set up to find these objects, but Colin had hidden them in a hollow tree he called his hideout.
One day however, Colin made his last raid. In the attempt, he was caught. One of his friends followed him as he made off with his loot, and finding the tree, reported it to the elders. The entire tribe was furious at Colin. They made him return it all, and he was kept in a locked room for several months.
He probably would have stayed there longer if one of his guards had not made a terrible mistake. The guard was not a mean fellow, and wanted to do all he could for Colin. When he came to give Colin his food he included a knife to cut it. Colin took his chance and used the knife to stab the guard and then fled the room. The guard was tough otter, and was able to shout out for help. Soon Colin was caught.
The only punishment considered terrible enough for Colin's crimes was banishment and dis-ownership by his family. The threw him out of their village and acted as if he never existed. Colin begged for mercy, he pounded on their doors, but the simply ignored him. Colin learned to fend for himself, catching and killing fish with his teeth and claws. He never met his sister Silenis face to face, though he learned of her birth from sneaking around the village. He only grew jealous of her and what she had, a family.
After several years of this life Colin decided that he had enough of it. He stowed away on a ship to Mossflower, where he made a living as a Freelancer. He gave his name as Argon, to hide his true identity. A few years later, he added the surname Blademaster because of his skill with such weapons. Argon gained a quite a reputation and became known as one of the best mercenaries in all of Mossflower.
Eventually, The Dark Circle, mercenary organization, heard of Argon. Their operatives offered him a position, which he gladly accepted. The symbol of The Dark Circle was tattooed on his arm and he has worked for them ever since. He was often partnered with fellow freelancer Viktor O'Malley, and they gained even more fame together.
