Name: Xylon
Species: Wolf
Age: 35 years in human comparison
Gender: Male
Occupation: Mercenary, traveler
Weight: 185 lb.
Height: 6ft
Physical Appearance: A silvery-gray wolf, a little taller than most. His pale blue eyes show indifference and coldness to all who look into them. There is a long scar along the left side of his body, from some fight long ago. The wolf's fur is not puffy but soft and sleek, his body strong but lean. He has no permanent-effect injuries as of yet, and wears a short-sleeved shirt of boiled leather, along with a fine black cloak and tough, dark leather boots. Wearing a belt that contains various herbs and tools, accompanied by a haversack of his back, Xylon is ideal for wandering throughout the lands.
Skills: Having been both self-taught and influenced by many warriors, Xylon prefers agility to strength, quickly eliminating foebeasts with lightning-quick movements, acting when the opponent least expects it. His kunai, light throwing knives with intricate balance, come in handy often and allow Xylon a target range of about 50 ft. When burdened with his haversack, the wolf may use his sword for close combat or his flail for fighting few enemies.
Personality: Despite his harsh beginnings, Xylon has learned compassion and caring, and these traits conflict with his natural desire to conquer. He also has a very strong sense of right and wrong, but can choose to override this. Over the seasons, Xylon has learned that a heart causes more pain than anything, and so treats most other creatures with cold indifference. This does not mean he cannot harbor respect for others, and sometimes will even fight them honorably if they should do so. However, he usually fights to kill and shows the opponent little mercy, aiming to quickly destroy them. He is either in one of two moods; a killing mood, where most any impeding beast will be slayed and the wolf battles with aggression, and a relaxed mood, when Xylon will be very perserving of his energy and fight only if necessary.
Weapons/Items: Xylon carries several medicines for poison and blood-flow, along with small picks and knives for studying the land and it's earth and vegetation. Although he's able to use most weapons, he carries a select few, two kunai strapped to his boots, several on his belt, a short sword and a light-weight mace-and-chain in his sack.
History/Backround:
Xylon remembers having neither father nor mother, growing up in the cold northland shores and badlands. When he was a little older, he started to stray beyond his homeland and traveled to several lands, including the cold wildcat kingdom, Salamandastron and even Redwall. Xylon has taught himself how to use weapons, and has either picked up or smithed the weapons he possesses now. Over the seasons, he has learned of the great lore and history surrounding Mossflower, and has even taken to scientific studies of the different lands now and then. When he was old and capable enough, Xylon became a soldier for hire, and was given many jobs from various horde leaders.
Other than this, he keeps pretty quiet about his past, and mostly avoids the subject all together.
