Rory Bloomfield

Name: Rory Bloomfield
Age: 16
True age: 19
Sex: Male
Personality: Born the youngest son of a minor, but somewhat important noble, Rory was never found wanting for much of anything. In fact, only reason he even decided to become a Mondolin Knight was because of tradition for the youngest child to sign up for it, while the oldest inherits most of the lands. Absolutely baby-faced, he was spoiled beyond belief at the manor, but always treated everyone with kindness and respect, from the lowest of servants to visiting dignitaries. While his family is well respected and well liked by the people they govern, they are almost scorned by the other nobility, even bullied a little bit by those of higher prestige. He has a bit of a thing against such plotting nobles, even actions his own family has done, particularly his brother and mother.

Just the same, they also provide such good entertainment with gossip. And absolutely enjoys finding out other people's secrets. Even though he has no intention of ever using them unless it involves the security of the nation. He believes in oaths and words and honor. And doesn't believe anyone goes back on it. As such, he is a bit naive. But also a strong believer in justice, and heavily dislikes the Red Fang and their associates, believing the Freelands would be better without them. While he doesn't understand why Edia hadn't just asked for help, and heavily disagree with how they conducted themselves, in the end, justice was served, and doesn't really understand the tensions between the two nations.

He has a deep fear of alpha predators after almost being eaten by a fenroc, being saved by his older brother and sister. He only survived by diving into a downed, hollowed out tree with several large stones around it. He's a bit of a crybaby, and complained non-stop the entire ride back home.

He is closest with his sister, a master archer with a dead aim with a crossbow, and often takes inspiration from her. It was because of her that he discovered his unique memory abilities, and even his innate magic ability to form pictures from his memory. He learned his work ethic through her, since her odd placement meant that while she was guaranteed some lands from the inheritance, it wasn't much. Rory would often be helping her with something, from planting, to even doing his own laundry on occasion.

Dutiful, and with an odd talent with their ancestral sword, he pursued Lilian Toral. While he was rejected outright, and he did cry for a couple weeks, he vowed to win her heart someday. She was everything he wanted to be, after all, and even if things don't work out, she was inspirational to him. Even after losing her arm, and making him fear Heanta, he couldn't help but see the strong side of her in her depression. While he couldn't find the courage to try to talk to her, he was the first to notice her change, and finding that she just made herself a new arm. He practically swooned, and vowed to try even harder to win her heart.

It is often hard to tell if he's a well trained soldier or just another noble playing at soldier or a whiny brat. Though when the situation gets dire or he finds his resolve/inspiration, only death will quell him. Though afterwards he bitches about it being tough.

As cowardly and not good with feelings as he was, he is resourceful, being able to get out of trouble as much as he got into it. And while understanding the risks his particular job was, he was still fearful of being caught by those that he spied on. His duties likewise kind of got him unspoiled, but he still certainly preferred if someone else did his cooking and laundry for him, and certainly needing a bed and bath ready. While he does love his red wines, he is a weenie when it comes to alcohol tolerance. He is otherwise a very cheery and outgoing lad, often loudly proclaiming friend's names with enthusiasm if mostly okay.

Likes/dislikes: He likes Lilian and hopes to have something more than just friendship, gossip, and nice hot baths. He dislikes the Red Fang, plotting nobles (including his own family), and having to hide in less than desirable areas (though will out of desperation).

Fears: After seeing Lilian without her arm, he fears the Heanta, though lacks any experience with them. He also fears alpha predators. He also fears getting caught when "deep" in enemy territory.



Height: 5'8"
Weight: 137 lbs.
Appearance: He is a slender and lithe boy standing at a modest five feet and eight inches tall. He has blue-green eyes, and honey blond hair. He has a bit of a baby-face, which combined with his height and build, makes him appear much younger than he actually is, and tends to have quite a few suitors of both genders. He has above average flexibility, so while he can't bend in odd shapes or hide in ridiculously small spaces, he is certainly limber and agile.



Clothing: He typically wears the blue clothing above, and those shoes, complete with his Blue Rose Sword, though often doesn't bring it with him when he's home or in Mith Silvanus. When out on a mission, he wears his typical blue leather armor and shoes.



General Fighting Tactics: He is a spy, first and foremost, and knows how to get around. But when caught, or forced into a fight, he uses a graceful flurry of attacks to overwhelm opponents. That's usually enough, but not always. As such, he uses his speed and mobility to start harassing their sides and weak points, using his magic to hide and ambush his foes after hopefully losing them. Though his Illusive Fog ability is definitely his go to when he really needs to start poking and prodding, and wear them down. A bit of an acrobat, he can avoid and dodge with the best of them, even if by the skin of his teeth, and isn't afraid to punch or kick someone if the time or position allows it. He likes to pick apart people's armor, and slowly strip them out of them with attacks to their straps. He is a bit reckless and hardly ever plays defensively, almost always running and gunning, using his arm mounted crossbow to shoot at unarmored areas, thin the herd a little bit, or surprise an opponent.

His unique one handed sword style, combined with his speed and agility, almost makes him look like an artist, and is almost always able to go right into another flurry of attacks one after another.

Heroic Trait: Hero Rush

Combat Stats-

( All stats are considered average unless stated. Stats must be balanced. You must decrease a stat to increase a stat. Raising one to good means you must lower one to fair. Read The Character Combat Stats Guide for more information)

Strength || Poor
Speed ||  Very Good
Agility ||  Good
Durability || Poor
Stamina || Average
Magical power || Very Good

Strengths: Photographic memory: To the point of picturesque. He can tell you where a person was sitting from memory at a banquet, who all they associated with, and use his Mage Quick Art to show exact scenes from his viewpoint, as well as describe them in great detail right down to where each glass was and the position of food. He is invaluable in the intelligence community due to this combination of trait and magic ability.

Resourcefulness: In combination with his abilities, he can often find out what he needs, then get out without being seen or noticed. Even hiding in some...undesirable places. Even in combat, he can outmaneuver most people and get the jump on them.

Enhanced Hearing: While not as good as an animal's, it is certainly top tier for a human.

Weaknesses: Enhanced Hearing: He is more heavily effected by sound based skills, receiving 15% more damage from them, and disorientation for one post (or one additional post if the sound based magic ability already causes it).

Spoiled Brat: A noble's son is not ever without want, even a minor one. Even with his missions out on his own where he had to hide in literal crap to avoid capture, the first thing he's getting is a bath and new clothes. He must have a bed to sleep in or else a hammock. He must have some amount of fine dining. He doesn't like walking for very long to get where he needs to go. He hasn't seen any major threat to him or his. He has lived a life of luxury, though has gotten out of it slightly thanks to his duties as a Knight of Mondolin. He bitches a lot.

Panicky: When faced with big beasties with lots of sharp teeth and claws, he panics. And does more running than actual fighting. Even against Heanta he would, particularly if he even comes across Korroth, the one that took Lilian's arm. While less likely, particularly if someone with more spine and confidence than him, against a huge crowd all at once is another instance where he'd rather run than fight.



Primary Equipment I
Name: Blue Rose Sword
Type: Small Weapon
Description: An ice blue one handed sword with a blue rose at the center of the guard on both sides. It is made of divinium.



Enchantments:

Name: Ice Rose Sting Type: Offensive Damage Category: Very Weak (up to x10) Description: A blue vine with half inch thorns is whipped out, made of ice. Or two. Or more up to ten. They can stab as well. Can also be used to swing from, but is both inefficient and they do have a tendency to break when supporting his full weight. Even with all ten out. After use, they are snapped off the sword and becomes normal ice. Can also be used to block off passages, though once snapped off, are easy to cut through. It has a reach of twenty feet. Duration/Cooldown: 1 post cd if 10 are used.

Primary Equipment II
Name: Stinger's Pride
Type: Small Weapon
Description: An arm mounted crossbow, with a smaller reach than even a short bow. Also has two blades made of enchanted steel with supports on top for defense. The "bow" part is collapsible. Accurate up to 50 feet. Lilian Toral enchanted the weapon with two enchantments, while Andreas Toral made the actual weapon.



Enchantments:

Name: Ammo Loader Type: Support Damage Category: N/A Description: A new arrow bolt is summoned to the chamber, ready to be fired. This is summoned from his personal stockpile that he tends to keep a good supply on. Duration/Cooldown: Passive

Name: Auto Loader Type: Support Damage Category: N/A Description: Automatically pulls the bow back, ready to fire another bolt. Relatively slow reload rate, able to fire twice per post. Would be faster if he does it himself, but when would he have time in a pitched fight where he's also using his sword? Works in conjunction with Ammo Loader, activates first. Duration/Cooldown: Passive Price: 600

Secondary Equipment
Name: Bloomfield Leather Armor
Type: Light Armor
Description: Custom made, light leather armor all around. It is all blue with white trim, and features a good pair of black shoes to boot. It allows for good mobility while providing at least some protection in case he can't dodge something.






Name: Cloaking Field
Type: Support
Damage Category: N/A
Description: He goes invisible when he stands still. Though if you look hard enough, particularly with a moderate powered light source, you can see some refraction. He can also still be smelled, detected by heat vision magic, or magic sensing abilities. He can stay invisible for two posts. To deactivate it, he can simply start moving. Wind is also troublesome, as it makes any loose bits shimmer (sort of like Predator, but more shimmer) like his hair and part of his leather armor.
Cooldown: 4 post cooldown.

Name: Mage Quick Art
Type: Support
Damage Category: N/A
Description: Allows him to imprint images instantly onto a "canvas" of some sort with a touch. The canvas can be anything minus most special materials, with only divinium, twilight wood, enchanted steel, and aurilium he can mark on out of the special materials. He can only imprint directly from his memories, and from his viewpoint, so if he was knocked out or not watching a scene, he wouldn't be able to imprint those, nor would he be able to imprint a knife on someone if he can't see it. Illusions or poisons can have an effect on this as well, distorting the image in accordance to their effects (from blurred lines to replacing someone completely with something else).

This also includes human flesh or clothes, though it is harmless and doesn't cause any pain, the image is about like super tough dirt to scrub or wash off, taking a few days to fully get out. While he can do small "canvases," he prefers a standard 8 X 12 in. parchment/material. He can edit the size of the image, and even focus on certain parts of the memory, recreating just that section of it. All images are with full color and the same lighting as the memory.

Cooldown: Passive, but can be turned off and on.

Name: Four-Hit Slash
Type: Offensive
Damage Category: Weak x4
Description: His arm or limb glows blue for four quick, consecutive strikes, dealing weak damage no matter how slight the strike is. Most effective with a weapon. Is quick enough to slash at a sword from someone doing a heavy downward swing four times and stopping it.
Cooldown: 4 post cooldown.

Name: Illusive Placement
Type: Support
Damage Category: N/a
Description: He overlays himself with an illusion of an object. The object can be anything nonliving, but must be around his size, though does have a little leniency, but must be at least his exact measurements. If he's standing straight up, he can make himself look like a decorative suit of armor. Or when kneeling down, a vase with a big pedestal to hold it or a large rock. He can only hold it for a post, and cannot attack or move with it active. He can still be traced by scent and by tracing magic, but wind is no issue with this. However, if someone tries to touch the item he is posing as, they'll find out that it's an illusion when their hand or object goes through the illusive parts.
Cooldown: 2 post cooldown.

Name: Illusive fog
Type: Support
Damage Category: N/A
Description: He creates a dense fog around 50 yards in diameter. Visual distance is only five feet, and at that range, they're a shadow. Rory is unaffected, and magic sensing becomes useless. This lasts for three posts. Wind or shockwaves can blow this away.
Cooldown: 5 post cooldown.


Appearance: The front most part of his honey blond hair turns blue, and his eyes become a more solid blue color.


Name: Invisible Man
Type: Support
Damage Category: N/A
Description: Same thing as Cloaking field, except he can move around, with a slight distortion effect (though less severe than with wind blowing his hair and loose bits.) and is typically unnoticeable to the untrained eye. Lasts for a single post.
Cooldown: 5 post cooldown.

Name: Doppelganger
Type: Support
Damage Category: N/A
Description: Five "clones" of himself appears. While he can switch places with one of them once, they have no physical form, thus can't do any damage. They lasts for 3 posts, or until all of them are hit once (even if it's just by the weapon, when hit, the clones disappear), or two if he switched with one. They act in accordance to his will.
Cooldown: 6 post cooldown.

Name: Rushing Slash
Type: Offensive
Damage Category: Average
Description: A predictable, but extremely fast attack that closes a 20 foot distance (max, can be shorter, but min. distance is 10 feet) fast with a prepared slash/hit. It's fast, and is extremely difficult to dodge/block/parry, though possible if they can predict his prepared stance/attack well enough. He must be in a prepared stance and his entire body glows silver just before he strikes.
Cooldown: 2 post cooldown.

Name: Portal Transport
Type: Support
Damage Category: N/A
Description: He opens up a portal directly in front of him that is the same size as him. A second one opens up 30 feet in front of him, assuming there's nothing in the way, otherwise at the wall directly in front of him within his eyesight. So long as they can fit, anything can go inside of it and end up further away from him. He cannot pass through it himself, and is primarily used defensively.
Cooldown: 3 post cooldown.

Name: Thousand Cuts
Type: Offensive
Damage Category: Very Strong
Description: The attack in total would be classified as Very strong, but is very much a barrage of light cutting magical energy that travels 15 feet. Medium armor is highly resistant to this, as the magical energy literally just small three inch cuts, and there is a thousand of them, granted restricted to a ball of about 8 feet in diameter.
Cooldown: 5 post cooldown.

Boosts:  Speed +2, Agility +1, Strength +1, Durability +1.

History: Born at the Bloomfield Manor, his family has governed a small, but well placed bit of land that allows for swift trading between the capital city of Mith Silvanus and those in the lower part of Mondolin. And combined with the fact that they have among the most well maintained roads, they have long enjoyed a good stream of income from those coming through. Even if most of is invested back into the people who live in their domain. Rory was born the youngest, his older brother destined to become the next head of the family, and his sister...basically whatever she wanted.

In part due to his looks, and his position as youngest, he was spoiled a bit, always getting whatever he wanted, and throwing a huge tantrum when he didn't. Up until his sister just whacked him once and told him to knock it off. Likewise, his parents also stepped in a little bit and told him that a "dignified man treats everyone how they too would want to be treated. You don't want to be treated like crap, do you?" From then on, he started to change a little bit in how he treated others.

One day while he was exploring, he found a large beast, that then tried to eat him. His brother and sister, nearby hunting, heard his screams and used their crossbows to take down the large Fenroc. Why it was there was unknown to them, but it was heavily malnourished and weakened already.

Starting to pay attention more to his sister, he started asking why she was doing chores he saw the servants do. "Because I want to be self-reliant. If you're going to be a knight, you're going to have to do much the same." He started doing little things with her, and gained a greater appreciation for the servants they hired. He evens started to do a little bit for himself. He was still every bit a spoiled child that panicked at anything big and had sharp bits to them, but at least he could get by. It was also because of her that he learned that he can recall very specific details in his memory. Almost eerily.

He was eventually given a tutor, hired by his brother, to learn how to handle a sword, and prepare him for becoming a squire in the Knights of Mondolin. For a full year, he was made to train with a sword, creating his own sword style, and given suggestions by the tutor, who he later found out was with his brother. It was also during this time he started paying attention to the nobles around around him, and their plots. The gossip was good fun, but the crap he was finding out irked him a lot. Even some of the things his brother and mother did disgusted him. He started to alienate himself from his brother, but not so much the tutor.

He was eventually sent to Mith Silvanus for more official training as a page. Smaller than most of the boys, he was almost classified a girl right off, even though there were a few there. Including a Lilian Toral, whose fierceness scared him at first. But then he started to admire it. It wasn't long before he confessed that he would like to date her, despite both being only 13 years old. Of course, he was rejected, and he cried for a few weeks, but became determined to be a man that she can look up to and see herself with. To date, he was one of the few pages able to keep up with her, and even beaten her a couple times...although she had by far beaten him more often.

Unfortunately, trouble was brewing in the south. The Asentari, a new race. It was later that he found out that Lil's mother was once a knight, and was asked to come back and go forth. When he heard what happened to her, the poor boy left flowers as consolation, but never had the courage to go up to her and try to console her. Shortly afterwards, he would be upfront with her, admitting that it was he that left the flowers, and that he was a bit of a coward when it came to hard feelings. Admit that he didn't know how she felt, but if there was anything he could do for her, she can force him to sit down and talk at any time. At this point, a tentative friendship started to form.

She even enchanted an arm mounted crossbow for him, after his parents commissioned one on his behalf to her father.

When he was sixteen, he was sent to the east with a different Knight Instructor than Lilian for group exercises. It was during this time that he started to scratch the surface of his magic abilities, being practically made for subterfuge and spy work. It was only after returning to the capital did they learn what happened up north. Again, Rory was devastated at how much one can possibly lose. A lost arm, and relieved from duty, done in by a Heanta that even another Heanta feared. The report honestly made him hope he would never meet one. He couldn't help but feel like she'd been cast aside. He tried to argue that she had a talent with enchanting things, and that she could still be quite useful and powerful in that regard, only to be brushed off. His crush on her was well known.

The blond kept his distance and kept watch over her, feeling a bit down, but confident that she will bounce back, and become stronger than ever. It wasn't long that he suddenly noticed a burst of energy from her, and her going back to Mith Silvanus, his question as to why completely unanswered. It wouldn't be until later that he found out why. She made herself a new arm. And she wouldn't be turned away this time. Rory was present when she underwent the trials, and she blew them all away. The boy could have swooned. And he was the only one even close to her level.

Both of them became full fledged knights together, though through different recommendations. Though his was a little controversial due to his personality quirks. Still, after seeing the new arm, he opened up an investment with the Torals, to continue research and development of such prosthetics. It wasn't much, admittedly, but hopefully enough to keep going with the research to help others that were in Lil's position.

While Lilian went on to continue making waves, he stayed relatively unknown, and finding out secrets and doing his best in the Intelligence division. While quickly becoming a valued asset there, they made sure that he kept in obscurity, despite his preference for blue clothing.

Side notes: He can be annoying.
