(if applicable): none -BIRTHDATE: August 1st -HEIGHT: 5'6 -WEIGHT: 162lbs -EYES (colour and shape): Kelden's eyes are of grayish-blue color -BUILD: Kelden is fairly muscular, but his slightly shorter than normal stature and the loose fitting clothes he wears makes him look more smaller than he really is. -COMPLEXION: Kelden's is quite tanned from his work outside under the sun. -FACIAL FEATURES: Kelden has no outstanding facial features. -IDENTIFYING MARKS: None. -HAIR (colour and style): Kelden has wavy light-brown hair that he likes to keep cropped short at around chin-length. -VOICE: Kelden's voice is deep and authoritative. -DRESS/ATTIRE: Kelden likes clothes that fit loosely around his body. His usual clothes includes a shirt of sapphire blue, a loose fitting jacket of off-white, and a pair of dark slack-legged pants. -JEWELRY (if any): Kelden wears a small silver trinket around his neck that was a gift to him from Julian, his girlfriend who is now dead. -WEAPONS/TOOLS (if any): Kelden carries a dagger as a back-up weapon. -ARMOUR (if any): None. -PERSONALITY: Kelden is a very mischievous and fun-loving type of person, but he is also slightly irresponsible. He can get easily carried away, and he has a bad habit of totally disregarding any consequences that might occur because of his actions. -BACKGROUND AND HISTORY: Kelden was born and grew up in Bledavik. As a child, he was very active and loved to explore around the city, and as he grew older, his love for exploration also grew and expanded. During his early teen years, Kelden explored the areas around Bledavik and the Ethos dig- sites around the city. Often, he would stumble across buried relics and treasures he would sell off for a living. During his trips, Kelden encountered a girl by the name of Julian, who later on became his girlfriend, and they began to travel the world together. But their happiness was cut short rather abruptly when Julian was killed in an accident during one of their trips together, thus leaving Kelden with bitter memories and a wounded heart. He still continues to hunt for ancient relics and treasures to make a living for himself, but his bright spirit had been dimmed somewhat by the sorrow of his lost. -BIRTHPLACE: Beldavik, Aveh -MOTHER: Danielle Silvarus -FATHER: Raymond Silvarus -SIBLINGS: None. -MATE: Julian Lamberg (dead) -CHILDREN: None -OTHER RELATIONS: A friend by the name of Brasco occasionally travels with Kelden whenever they have a chance to encounter each other on the road. Brasco is the leader of a group of treasure hunters that deal with illegal digging around Ethos dig-sites. The group he leads is much smaller than Bart's group, and isn't even significant enough to be even worth mentioning. -SECONDARY SKILLS: None. -ABILITIES/DISABILITIES: Kelden fights with his bare fists using martial-arts, but he also has some skills in edged weapons like short-swords and small knives. -HOBBIES: Adventuring, hunting, explorating. -CURRENT RESIDENCE: Bledavik -CURRENT LIFE CONFLICTS: None at the moment. -OTHER NOTES: None. -GEAR NAME: Valkyrie -GEAR DESCRIPTION: The Valkyrie looks fairly slender. It stands just a little shorter than an average military gear, and though it is more slender and smaller than most military gears, the Valkyrie's strength and speed makes it a fairly competitive fighter. However, the Valkyrie has relatively weak armor, so it doesn't do as well in a lengthy battle where defense is necessary. -CLASS: light-attack gear -PRIMARY FUNCTION: Kelden uses his gear mostly for exploring. -WEAPON(s): The Valkyrie can use its fists to attack as well as rods and swords. -ABILITIES/DISABILITIES: The Valkyrie is a little stronger than an average light-attack gear, but aside from that, it has no extra abilities on top of the speed and agility that any average light-attack gear would have. However, the drawback to the Valkyrie lies in its exceptionally weak armor and its low Ether amplification abilities. -HOW YOUR CHARACTER ACQUIRED THE GEAR: The Valkyrie was giving to Kelden by Brasco (look above,) but the young explorer's friend did not explain how he got the gear in the first place. However, before they parted, Brasco left urgent instructions to Kelden to alter the exterior appearance of the Valkyrie as much as he could so that it would not be recognized by the Ethos or the Aveh guards. After that, Kelden occasionally added bits and pieces of gears he's found to the Valkyrie to alter its external appearance. (Perhaps I will write an episode on how Brasco got the gear for Kelden later.)
