Name: Richard Brandstone
Other Aliases: The Titan
Gender: Male
Race: Sheikah
Archetype: Templar
Nationality: Hyrulian

Physical Description:
Standing at an astounding 7'1" ft / 2.15m, Richard easily stands face-to-face with most Goron's. He is lean for his size and surprisingly agile; through training and the gifts of his bloodline. He keeps his long dirty blonde hair in a pony tail most of the time and his deep gray eyes flash crimson in direct light (a tail-tail sign of his Sheikan blood.) His rich olive colored skin shows signs that he spends most of his days under the sun. In keeping with tradition he also has a tattoo of the Sheikah eye on his left-arm and wears it proudly.

Personality:
A fun-loving and gentle soul, Richard craves the spirit of adventure. He is a cultured young man and aches to spend most of his days traveling. Having sailed to far away lands and back, he enjoys weaving stories for anyone that will sit and listen.

Family:
His family is living, though he does not keep in touch with them regularly. He comes from a middle-class trader family that lives in the small village of Karariko. While he cares for his family, his love for travel has kept him away from home; though he occasionally stops to send them a letter, updating them on his latest enterprise. Richard's parents are both living and active traders. He has one older brother, whom he is not very close with. Mainly because of their difference in age and interest. And while they are proud of their heritage, his family has not taken active interest in the study of the Sheikah arts in at least two generations. However, their instincts will not allow them to ignore a call by the royal family.

Magical Talents:
Next to none; though he is quite knowledgeable in the field of spellcraft, he has never trained in the arts himself. His bloodline gives him an affinity for the craft, but it has never been tapped into.

Weapons and Talents:
Because of his size, Richard tends to carry larger weapons that most. Wielding a two-handed sword in a single hand with relative ease, he usually keeps a short sword on his belt as well. He has limited skill with a bow, so he usually packs several throwing knives on his body as well. He prefers not to fight and is usually able to avoid such conflict simply based on his size; however, he has learned the necessity for weaponry through personal experience.

Strengths and Weaknesses:
Despite his obvious advantages in a fight, Richard is also quite cunning and prefers to use his mind over brawn. He is, too a fault, overly caring and trusting. He is not a skilled range fighter by any means; and while he is knowledgeable in the magical arts, he is not capable of casting spells of any sort of complexity.

History:

Richard has spent his life traveling, ever since he was young. His family is living, though he's not in consistent communication with them. Richard was always an adventurous young lad. Just as his parents raised and expected him to be. Though they lived in Kakariko, his family made weekly trips to Lon Lon Town for trading purposes. Though he did occasionally attend a local school, he much preferred learning from the men coming and going out of the merchant hub of Lon Lon.. Traveling a constant interest of young Richard’s, he often day dreamed of seeing the world. Just as his parents had, and his grandparents before them. The idea of taking in the sites of the world was often an overwhelmingly exciting thought, he wanted to go places his family had not, see things his family had not, and meet people his family had not. That idea alone tickled Richard and gave him hours of daydreaming as he sat around the bustling town, watching caravans going to and fro.

Kakariko was a good place to be raised, as it is now a rather small town, so it was easy to know one’s neighbors. Besides, there were plenty of personal experiences to be had. Richard learned the back streets of the town over the years, quickly knowing every secret the small village had to offer, which was plenty despite its size. He also learned of the places history and past battles of his homeland of Hyrule. In Lon Lon though, Richard often caught unwanted attention though, during his exploration of the streets. He often went through growth spurts, making him more than a head taller than most young men his age, no matter what age he was. By the time he was fourteen, he was already as tall as most full grown men. This made it exceedingly easy to get close to the traders and pirates often passing through, as he appeared to simply be one of them.

Though Richard’s young life would not have seemed a rather exciting thing to behold, it was filled with endless excitement for him. Richard’s family was supportive; and though not wealthy, they never wanted for possessions or money. By his eighteenth birthday, Richard set off on his own. He settled first for exploring the rest of his home land, Hyrule and learned a great many things. Including sword play from the Gerudo women, masonry from the Goron people, fishing from the Zora, and herbal knowledge from the Kokiri. He learned to speak a dozen languages and a dozen customs. It was a long, exciting time for Richard: those few years.

On a venture back to Karariko to visit his parents, one spring, Richard caught the attention of a boat captain as he passed by the docks in The Great Bay. The captain invited him to have a drink and the two were fast friends. It was this friendship that quickly lead to Richard’s fist adventure off the shores of the landmass of Hyrule and Termina. It was at this time that he traveled the world, seeing the lands outside of his home. He saw many things and learned from many people. He trading valuable goods across the sea and lived with the wind against his face for several years. Richard quickly became worth his salt as a trader and adventurer. Despite his large size, Richard was quick to make friends where ever he went. His friendly disposition and fun loving nature a good match for nearly anyone of any land, as a smile knows no racial or linguistic border.

At this time, Richard has returned to Hyrule to become reacquainted with his home land. It would appear that there is no end in sight for his love affair with traveling and trading. Don’t let his size put you off; there is no kinder soul and no better companion to have.

Since the update to the Sheikah stats, I'm moving my +1 from magic, to agility.

*flexes muscles*

Time to do a little upgrading.

I have 25 EXP to spend.

15 on increasing Magical Item Use from 2 => 6

3 on Endurance 0=>2

and 4 Points on increasing Defensive Combat from 3 => 4

Which raises my defense to 22.
