Character Name: Abel
Character Alias: The White Knight
Character Description: Being sixty five years old, Abel is not the young and handsome knight you would expect him to be. Instead of wrinkled, his battle hardened skin is thick and rough. He is six foot one, or at least, was. In his old age, he walks with a slight hunch in his neck. He also has a limp in his right leg from an old wound. Many scars can be seen on his face and body, and his hair, tied in a ponytail, is dark gray. His most notable physical feature, however, is the fact that he is missing his entire right arm from the shoulder.
Character History: Abel, in his youth, was a famous hero and a powerful knight. He was the stuff of legends, the kind of storybook hero that mothers tell to their children. He was the one that saved the village from the dragon. He was the one who rescued the children from the evil wizard.
Now he is an old man, and some would say he is but a shadow of his former self. His face is grim and his appearance menacing. He is no longer yound and handsome but old and rough. Children cower at his sight and it is apparent that he is not the same man anymore. In battle, his ability is equal to his strength as a young knight, and his intent is still bent on good will, though his methods may not be so pure. This new one armed version of Abel is no legend or beacon of hope, but he can still be a hero.
Combat Analysis: Fighting with only one arm has proven to be a difficult feat, but somehow, Abel has prevailed over his handicap. His method of fighting is quick and unorthodox, using his legs as accurate extensions of his body. He now wields a slim sword akin to a katana, only slightly shorter and straighter. His sword is attached to its sheath on his back by a short chain. His method parries enemy attacks using his feet while slashing with the blades on his shoes or his sword. His movements are like a snake's, and watching him spring from one position to another, raising his feet to head level in the blink of an eye to block enemy attacks, is quite incredible to behold.
As far as supernatural abilities go, the Abel of legend, the young Abel, had the gift of magic and control over the force of light. How far the extent of the new Abel's powers reach is, however, still in question.
