[color=#FFFF00]Name: - Zantos

Age:- 50

Gender: - Male

Skills: 1. He can use magic just as efficiently as anyone else, with his mind already knowledgeable on all the aspects that a seasoned magic user would know. He also knows a magic technique to equip objects with special properties, such as making a bag shoot out flames upon his will, without using magic or expending energy when it is used.

2. Also already learned are formidable swordsmanship skills. He has good combat techniques and can add his own quick wit to make unique moves that many times can give him an edge in battle. His level of swordsmanship is good as any young warrior, but he lacks some of the experience an older swordsman would have. Still, since he uses two blades, he usually has an advantage over others, not because of the extra sword, but because most fighters aren't used to fighting against two swords.

3. The last important skill he has is excellent bowman skills. He has excellent aim and many times knows how to use his bow in both close and ranged battle, and as long as there are not any particularly powerful opponents around, he might not even have the need to draw his sword, but rather wipe them all out with arrows.

Character Personality: Zantos has a very lively personality when he is feeling happy, but when he is tired or sad he is mostly laid back and cool with everyone. He tries not too show sadness much when he's feeling down with people he isn't too close with, but will open up gladly to close friends. He's a friendly guy, and most of the time honest, but may lie occasionally. He acts the age he feels, a teenage sixteen, knowing that he is really older but also knowing that for the other thirty-four years he has been trapped inside a jar of strange liquids. To help with this demeanor is also the fact that he has not aged at all since then. He is as most teenagers would be, flirtatious with girls and with a hunger for heroism. That's his one true dream, to become a respectable and well-known hero. However, the thoughts and mysteries of the past as well as the problems of the present due make him have to think seriously sometimes, and is slowly starting to mature more and more. He has not yet had any particularly heavy losses as in family or friends, but he can see it all around him and knows that it can happen anytime. The loss of his parents was something he expected, so it was not all too painful. It was still sad to know they died, but he knew the reasons and knew that it was inevitable, so he respects the way they were taken. Most of the time, he does not experimentation, although he does at times feel it stripped him of great times with his family. Also, he feels rather lonely at times, seeing as being trapped for that long in a jar has left most of his friends and family old and stationary, and a lot of his family dead.

Character History: Zantos was born in Ceunon and lived there until he was sixteen. During that time he had the normal life that any middle class city boy would have. He was always proud of his parents and liked the way they had many acquaintances in many parts of the Empire to help them out and give them gifts and special opportunities all the time. In this small city, there was always stories being told, many times the legends of great heroes, and he would always be awed by their acts and by the strange power they held over people, the respect they gained from them. Ever since then, he had always yearned to be in one of those stories, yearned to be a role model for young men and the character of a child's play. Unfortunately, one day the Empire's soldiers came in and took many young men with them, Zantos among them. This was done against the will of all the families. He was taken to the dark capital city of Uru'baen and was witness to many of the atrocities that took place inside the dark king's capital. He realized a lot of the story of the Riders and the evilness of the king, which before he had not cared about too much because it had not affected him all that much. As he was taken in deeper into the king's fortress, he made a vow to himself that he would join the rebel group he had heard about, called the Varden, to help overthrow the king. Finally, after going through many strange rooms, he was thrown in a chamber with all the other men and knocked out cold. When he woke up again thirty-four years later, he was in a giant jar of greenish liquid, floating and with a tube stuck in his mouth. He felt different, a lot more powerful and with new knowledge stuck in his head that he had not known of before. He quickly broke out of the jar and looked around. All of the men that had been taken from Ceunon were in the jar except for one, whose jar seemed to be recently broken like his. He quickly broke all the rest of the jars, but he realized as the men fell out that they were all dead. At that moment, his hate for Galbatorix grew even stronger, and he set out determined to escape from the capital. As he broke free of the room, he saw that across it they were about to execute a man who had broken free of it. The man yelled at him to run away now before his head was cut off, after which the men who had executed him started chasing after him. Being unfamiliar with the fortress inside Uru'baen, he went inside many rooms not knowing where they led. In one such room, he found the bow and sword which are now his weapons. After realizing that he was not going to be able to escape by running around, he killed all the soldiers chasing him except for one, whom he forced the truth out of. Gaining directions to an exit route he was finally able to break away from the fortress by blasting the front door open with magic, also blowing away the soldiers guarding it. He realized that he had acquired many new abilities, and at this time he also realized that he was running far faster than a normal human could. Realizing all the new abilities he had, he was able to reach the outer wall of Uru'baen and jump up and over it. Thus, he evaded the Empire and joined the Varden, gaining more knowledge about the status of the war and the going-ons with everything else. At the present, he has three weeks of being in the Varden.

Weapons: Both of his weapons are magically enhanced by magic he did not cast on them himself.

Zantos's bow is intricately designed with gold patterns of exotic shapes and what seem to be the runes of an ancient language. He does not know exactly where it came from or who made it, but it has a powerful spell cast on it that makes the arrow supply endless. As he takes the last arrow from it, it fills up with them again. He knows it holds more hidden power but he has yet to find it.

Zantos's swords are also intricately designed with the same gold patterns, all along the hilt, and even the blade. They is extremely sharp and seem to be made of a material similar to brightsteel, for they have the same properties as a Rider's sword. One has a curved spike jutting out of the blade near the hilt while the other has a small indent in it, which makes it seem as if it has two spikes instead of one. The spike on the other sword fits perfectly into the indent here, and when they are connected, the two swords transform into a large broadsword.

Likes: - Heroism, girls, friends, family, and growing stronger.

Dislikes: - Getting made fun of, betrayals, evil in general.

Animal Companions: - None

Character's Physical Description: Zantos is relatively tall, though not extremely big, only about 5'9''. He has an athletic body shape, with definable muscles on his body but not being too big. His hais is black and rather long, but the testing liquids he was in altered it so that all of it, even the part that reaches to his back right below his shoulders, is spiked. His eyes are a shockingly bright yellow, also a result of the testing liquids. He has a noticeable and rather big scar that goes from his left eye down straight almost to his lip, but it isn't disfigurating. His skin complexion is rather light, but not too much.

Dreams for the Future: - Getting a girlfriend, having kids, and becoming a well-known hero that everyone respects. Also to defeat Galbatorix.

Reason for Dreams: - He grew up in a city where tales of heroes were often told, and always envied the respect they gained from people. He hates Galbatorix for he hates the fact that he's the cause of him losing his family and friends.

Alignment/side: - Varden.[/color]

Hmm interesting. The glass jar filled with green liquid and the tube to the mouth sounds somthing like a vegitative state machine from some sci-fi movie...rather far fetched and could possibly be put under as futuristic.

That is just my opnion though, the other moderators will have to confirm. If they dont agree with it, I would go with maybe something like trapped in a crystal or something of a magical sort. Perhaps a casket that was filled with water then frozen with an ice spell. Idk just trying to give ideas lol.

Another thing is that you can give items magical properties...well thats fine but with no consequence to it? Hmmm maybe infuse the items with gems so you can store energy in them so they can peform the abilities without drawing from you initially, but refilling it later at some period.

Otherwise the bio is fine with me. Looks great. Awesome job. Just work on those things I mentioned and wait for another moderator confirm my conclusion of the whole jar thing. Then Ill accept.

Please dont post in other people's bios. If you need help, Private Message us.

Well I accept then. I'll move it.
