Lean. Dressed in dusty well worn travelling gear and a battered chain vest. A simple long-sword, straight with a cutting edge along only one side. An ordinary if weather beaten face, nose slightly crooked from having been broken and reset badly. A pleasant smile. Tattoos across the back of her hands and running down her fingers mark him as a member of some remote tribal people. Bright clear eyes, seemingly untarnished by any great loss or grief or despair or insanity. A good person. BackgroundTroll-bara Ang was born something more than mortal. As a young man, still with little more than fluff on his chin, he slew a troll, thus earning himself the title 'troll-bara' or troll slayer in the tongue of his people. But it was many years and many battles later before he fully came to understand what he was, and what he had been granted.As a younger person, Troll-bara Ang once railed against those bent on inflicting cruelty, misery and suffering in the world. He waged a personal, unceasing war on those who inflicted it, and achieved nothing. Except to drive himself to the edge of madness and despair. Now, he has come to accept that he can only do what he can do. Now, he travels the world seeking to alleviate what suffering he can. He lives to give joy a chance to bloom, where ever he can. He knows that He can only fail to change the world. But he also has come to accept that the only real failure is to cease trying.For the last few years, Ang has avoided great quests and kingdom shattering events. There are in such things, already too many forces ready to meddle. Instead, he has walked among the ordinary people - the farmers, artisans, labourers and herders of the world - settling disputes, healing the sick, lifting the poor and on occasions, slaying monsters. Of late, Ang's sword has seen little use, and for its part it is content to sleep in its sheath after so many decades of slaughter and mayhem. Indeed, after many years the sword and the chain vest are all Ang retains of his past life. Much of the rest has been given away, or sold for coin to be, in turn, given away as well.NotesIt would be nice to have a sword, just an otherwise ordinary sword, through which he can manifest his soul knife powers. Or perhaps a feat that allows him to do so? Mechanically, it doesn't really make much difference not having such a sword I suppose. Its just a flavour thing. For the armour I'm thinking something along the lines of +2 chain. Perhaps made of adamantine, or with something like Shadow. Perhaps the sword is adamantine as well, made of the same material, something of a pair.I also really like the idea of making him a half celestial. The special abilities tie in really nicely. The wings are a bit of a problem  - don't really fit the 'ordinary person' image. Perhaps a work around could be found for that. The wings were cut from his back. Or perhaps he just gave them up, symbolic of his break from the celestial host.[/sblock]I'm still keen to play Ang assuming that the half celestial template is allowed. dogheadaka thotd</blockquote>
