Name: Ser Mathias Rowan
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Race: Half-Elf (Elven Father and Human Mother)
Country of Origin: Raelus
Religion: Unlike many from Raelus, Mathias worships the Church of the One. He became a converted one when he stumbled across a believer who had taught the religion to him.
Appearance:
Mathias has the looks of a hero. His long, golden hair falls in sheets to his shoulders, framing his angular, handsome face. He takes every possible care with his hair, for it is his pride and joy. Whenever he appears in the sun, vibrant rays reflect off his head. His face is almost as fair as those of the Elves. Many women have pledged their love to him, but he turns them aside. His strangely beautiful face is the product an Elf-Human marriage. He is a Half-Elf. His ears are slightly pointed, but it isn't completely noticable through his long, golden mane. His face is a light cream shade, much like his fathers, so he takes his dark brown eyes from his mother. His nose is rather thin, and is rounded at the end, his chin, a chiseled piece of art. His chin is angular like an Elf's, but it is chiseled like a Human's. A thin, well-kept golden beard borders his beautiful chin.
His body is very muscular in general, but his arms would be considered larger than the average warrior's. His large muscles almost popped out of his chain mail the first time he put it on, so the nearby blacksmith forged him a new set. His chest is well muscled as well. He wears a heavy steel breastplate, as well as steel greaves, gauntlets, and boots. His breastplate has the sigil of House Karrwood, a house he serves as a knight: A crimson sun with a grey fist in the center. His sword's sheath is on his right hip, and his axe holster on his left. He draws his weapons from opposite hands.
According to legend, his smile can brighten anyone's day, even if it seems to be going to Hell itself. When he flashes his winning smile and lowers his head so his eyes glint, a woman's heart can melt and a man can find himself aroused for a moment. Almost nobody can resist the aura of charm that wraps itself around him.
Personality:
Rowan is the perfect example of a knight. He is chivalrous, handsome, and brave. Whenever around women, he puts his best manners on. When in the company of men, he is the life of the party when there is one. He always seems to know the right thing to say. His voice is deep and powerful, so he is the loudest person around when it comes to shouting competitions. His reputation to be stubborn is the same as the Dwarves'. Once his mind is set, it will not be changed. Mathias is not exactly stupid, but one would be correct to assume that he isn't intelligent. He is a good strategist, but whenever possible he goes for the "Swing first, ask questions later" tactic. He accels at it. He will not tolerate any question of his honor, and will deal with the culprit quickly and painlessly. He doesn't enjoy causing pain, but he believes that one cannot get through life without doing so. Rowan is a firm believer in the Church of the One. He carries a copy of the Book of the One with him at all times and reads it everyday. It is because of his faith that he rejects woman after woman, even though they throw their bodies at his feet. He anxiously awaits the day he meets his future wife.
Fighting is a second nature to Ser Rowan. He is always the first into battle and the last to leave, either kicking and screaming, the absence of enemies, or the fact that he's dead. Mathias is quick to start a fight. He knows he could win easily by using his strength and surprising quickness to end the fight quickly. When he can't end it quickly, he goes into a defensive stance so he can out last his opponent. When he gets into a fight he knows he can't win, he tries his to talk his way out with his honeyed words and dashing smile. When all else fails he goes down in a glorious show of courage. He'll gladly fight to the end for a cause that he believes is worthy.
Being the only son in his House, he is held with great honor by his parents. This has allowed him to becHome a little hot-headed. In his mind, Ser Mathias Rowan is the perfect being. He knows he's handsome, he knows he's smooth, and he knows he's a good fighter. He fails to see that he isn't a genius though. His ideas are always right in his head, no matter how stupid and idiotic they are.

Weapon Preference: Mathias is different than others from Raelus. He wears heavy plate armor with a chain mail suit under it. He prefers not to wear a helm, for it would block any view to his hair. For weapons, he uses a broadsword in one hand, an a double-headed axe in the other. He is of average skill with a bow.
