Character: Kazij "Light-Burned" "Wolf Caller" Merivade
Age: 148, appears to be in his mid 60's.
Appearance: Kazij is just taller then average Arkans, standing at 5'5 and weighing nearly 200 pounds of muscle. He has a thick grey beard reaching down to his belly and hair on his head going down to the middle of his back. A simple iron helmet protects his head, and no skin shows save for his yellow eyes. His teeth are a bit sharper then usual, giving his grin a wolf-like appearance. His body has several scars, showing that in his youth he didn't understand the concept of avoiding attacks. A heavy leather jerkin made from several bearskins covers his body, laid on top of chainmail. A similar fashion of metal under leather was done for his leggings and boots. He has a small hunch at all times, and carries the air of a commander. A pouch at his sight emanates heat, where a Suntouched lays.
Bio: A powerful family birthed only one son, who has yet to make his own. Kazij was the son of a tribes Chieftain, who had fought in more wars then most of his warriors. Even his mother had participated, usually as an archer but occassionaly she locked swords. This is the beginning of most Arkans, born into families of War. This is what they were born to do. However, when he was 64, he came upon the mythical metal of Suntouched.
He tried to pick it up, but it felt cool to the touch. He had a bad feeling for what that meant, as his skin started to change. War scars turned black as if they were burned into him instead of cut. The land around him felt much warmer, and the stone was cool. He was now a light-burned; a man who was chosen, some say by gods, to find Mjurgnik and bring him home, to protect Arkanoj and the world from its darkest hour.
Kazij has been searching for nearly 80 years for the god. Alongside him has been his ship, the Teviruk Merivan, and it's thirty man crew, fighting in foreign wars as mercenaries. It has been noted as the men have hunted longer and longer, that Kazij has started to babble to himself and his weapons, talking about the golden halls of Jektan.
Weapon(s): A large two handed sword forged from Suntouched metal, and two small two-headed axes at his sides. A small wooden buckler trimmed with iron is tied to his arm as if to make some attempt at defense.
Abilities/Traits: No matter where the land, if there are wolves around Kazij seems to be a beacon to them. More then once, in a bout of insanity, he has claimed that the beasts wait for the day where wolf and man may hunt as one. Kazij has been known from time to time to actually howl, causing wolf packs nearby to join him in a fight.
Kazij's views of things allows him to watch people and get a decent idea for the type of person they are. He often claims that he lives on the outside, and sees through the mist of men, seeing true colors. These colors show a person for what they are. His eyes seem to pierce everything.
"You need to open your eyes to reality. Good and Evil do not exist, they are only tools used by politicians to muster a pitiful excuse for a war. We all do deeds that are both positive and negative."
"It's taken me a century, but I've finally discovered the problem with war with southern foreigners. You keep expecting prophecies and legends, you wait for heroes to come to save the day. Heroes are only people who do what must be done. While you rot in a ditch, I have things to do. Come men, we have a war to fight."
"I think I've finally figured it out. Arkans know when a thing must be done, and do it, regardless of a price. Meanwhile, it seems you southerners piss and moan about lives lost, trying to find a perfect way to do it. I'd rather have a good plan today then a perfect one tomorrow."
"Kinzei's light has surely marked me... Shine on then, holy light. You've burned me... now guide me."
"I've spent more years of my life looking for an invisible man. I myself never cared for the religions, but I hope this 'god' shows up soon, before I end up carving someone's head onto a pike and talk to my axes as I go insane."
"There's something us older Arkan's learned that the new ones didn't, and this hint is why we're alive and they are not. NEVER get involved in a War of Thrones, and NEVER listen to voices that come from dark places."
"So this is how it is!? You intend to sit here and ROT because your plan didn't work?! Fine. While you rust away like a captured dog, I'm going to dare to move. Come on men, we gotta bust out."
