name: Jahmes
age: 37
gender: male
race: human
alignment: neutral good
power level: medium tier medium (5)
timeline: medieval
appearance: Jahmes stands about 6'1". His hair is a dusty, premature grey and is slightly unkempt. His face is lean and deeply tanned, from many years of wandering. He has a scraggly beard, which is really little more than unkempt five o'clock shadow. his rough cotton shirt and khaki pants are heavily worn and have faded to a grey similar to that of his hair. He wears soiled brown leather boots, that are heavily beaten, but seem to have many more miles left in them. slung across his back is a brown leather pack which contains a number of essentials. He carries a long spear, the blade usually covered with a leather sheath. The handle is a well polished, contrasting greatly with the rest of his appearance. He usually has something cluthced between his teeth, such as a long stick match, a hand rolled cigarette (rarely) or a length of straw.
Personality: Jahmes is quiet and reserved, but will talk if he feels comfortable. He speaks little, but what he says is usually important or has some bearing on the topic at hand. Jahmes is usually the last person to speak in any conversation or gathering, as he likes to take an extensive amount of time to feel out the situation.
History:Orphaned at a young age, Jahmes was taken in by the sizable church orphanage located in his walled city. The city served as a base for a powerful religious order, and many of the young male oprhans were trained as soldiers. As he grew older, Jahmes showed a ruthless determination that gained the attention of the monks. They tapped him to be trained as a paladin, seeing the young man as a valuable future asset to the faith. He rose steadily through the ranks, eventually, at the age of 28 becoming a paladin elite. He was trained in the use of the cursed relics of the church, and was lead a great deal of missions. through the years, he became disillusioned with the mission of the faith, and through a great deal of reflection, came to realize he was an atheist. He left the church, taking with him the cursed sword that he had been trained to use, believing it to be too powerful to be in the hands of the church.
powers: Jahmes has few powers, but can do some limited healing, due to the bastardized spells taught to him as "prayers" by the church. He has above average reflexes and strength, but nothing superhuman. His speed of movement is heightened, both from training and from years of wearing a great deal of armor. He can handle small groups of normal humans or humanoid enemies, and can tangle one on one with a full vampire at night.
equipment: Jahme's weapon of choice is a spear that measures about ten feet from butt to blade tip. he also possesses a cursed and broken sword, within which resides an extremely old and tired demon, who only wakens when he feels like it. The sword has a broken blade, but the actual cutting edge of the weapon extends beyond the break, making it, in actuality, a complete sword. When aroused, the demon can unleash a significant amount of energy, enough to cleave through many magically imbued items and armor. but Jahmes rarely, if ever uses the sword however, and it is kept in a chained and inscribed sheath.
weaknesses: Jahmes refuses to use pretty much any form of magic, beyond the most basic of healing spells and wears little armor, as he sees it as a relic of his past life. He only fights when it is necessary, and prefers to leave most opponents alive.
