APPEARANCE,
Varian simply exudes power. His appearance, although somewhat feminine, is imposing; this is not a man that one can easily ignore. His ears are tapered to points like most Hylian's, although Varian's are more vertically-aligned; he also has the typical fair coloring attributed to his race. His long hair is a light, almost white-blond, and his skin is equally pale, which creates a stunning contrast with his bright, almost neon green eyes. He has a rather thick build for a Hylian, built up over years of weight training and hard battle; he stands at about six foot two and weighs a little under two hundred pounds, most of which is just muscle.
Varian only wears the robes that signify his social standing on rare occasions; more often than not, he'll wear simple leather armor, or his ornate gold battle-armor if he's doing important things.
WEAPONS,
Sunstrider. Varian's greatsword. Strictly a two-handed weapon if he wants to actually fight with it; however, he also sometimes uses it as a shield as he uses magic. From the end of the hilt to the tip of the blade, it's about five feet long. The double-edged blade is about a foot wide.
ITEMS,
He wears a simple gold ring on a chain around his neck; this is really his only truly personal item.
ABILITIES,
two open slots.
RACIAL ABILITIES,
Magic Senses // Level Four // Beyond truth and lies, the hylian is able to pick up on some of their opponent's powers. Namely, they can figure out all the details of one of their opponent's powers. Duration, cooldown, damage, whathaveyou. This only works for one ability.
HISTORY,
Varian was born to a respectable noble family of Hylians; he was raised to be a lord, and taught all the rules of society and exactly how to act in each situation. He had no taste for such things, and although he complied with his parent's teachings, he took his own route in enlisting in the Hylian Knights. Varian's father happened to be the Knight Captain at the time, so he had a bit of an easier time, which he hated. He worked twice as hard to make up for it, but it wasn't quite the same. Varian was sixteen at the time.
There was a battle. His father was killed in a mysterious accident. A new Captain was appointed, and Varian finally got the equal treatment he wanted.
He wasn't too distraught over his father's death.
Years passed. Battles were fought, and Varian proved himself time and time again; he cut down any enemy in his way with power and grace, and his aid was the turning point of a battle on more than one occasion. He balanced melee combat and magical prowess, so whatever he couldn't beat into submission physically, he beat into submission magically. He had a natural head for strategy, knew the pros and cons of every kind of territory in Hyrule, and figured out the strengths and weaknesses of most of the races. Varian was an exemplary warrior all around, yet he had no desire to take command. He was a soldier, not a commander. He didn't give orders, he followed them. He did as he was told, and that was all. Defend Hyrule: those were his orders. And that was exactly what he did.
As he grew into his late twenties, he took up hunting. He often took Minish with him, usually dog Minish; on one particular occasion, this proved to be enormously helpful.
He was going to take down a deer, but one of his companions stopped him. The deer was a Minish, they told him, so he spared her. He did more than that, in fact; he took her home, healed her wounds, fed her, clothed her, cared for her. Touched by his kindness, the woman -- Kaela -- became determined to find out what made him tick. She wanted to repay him, somehow.
They became friends. Lovers. Husband and wife. They married, had a child -- Genn, a baby boy. Those were the best years of his life. Varian loved her, he truly did; even with the slight disapproval that surrounded their interracial marriage, they had a happy six years.
When Varian was thirty-five, Kaela thirty-two, and their son six, Kaela died. It was a sickness; random, rapid, and mortal.
He wasn't quite the same after that.
He became emotionally distant, even with his son; in fact, the most emotion he showed was when he was with Genn, but even that was limited to a rare small smile. Apathy ruled his life, and though he still contributed to the Hylian Knights, he wasn't as devoted or charged as before.
Four years passed. Genn turned ten years old; there was a small celebration. Varian began teaching his son how to fight, the only thing he felt he could properly pass on.
Another high lord offered his young daughter's hand in marriage to Varian. Not wanting to slight the lord and thinking that she would be a good companion for Genn, Varian accepted.
The two are betrothed. Only time will tell what happens now.
