GENDER: Male
AGE: 28
HEIGHT: 6'3"
WEIGHT: 176 lbs.
APPEARANCE: Short black spiky hair with white and red highlights which is slicked backed though a few strands of hair frame his face, deep purple eyes that resembles glittering amethyst gems. Tan skin, lean but not overly-muscular physique due to his training and certain activities done in the outdoors. On his right arm, a tattoo of black roses with gold tips can be seen with their thorny stems snaking around his arm up to his right shoulder, back and neck. All in all, he looked normal discounting his prosthetic left arm which is made from the finest alloys that can channel the bodies energies for it to function. This arm resembles that of a clawed gauntlet with an inch and a half long razor sharp claws. A ruby gemstone, in the shape of a teardrop, is firmly embedded on the back of the hand that emits a constant eerie glow. Multiple sapphire, diamond, amethyst, and garnet shards can be seen embedded on random parts of the gauntlet that also emit the same eerie glow in random intervals which resembles that of a twinkling stars. Numerous engravings are found around the gauntlet and the palm of the hand which depicts respectively both the different psalms and prayers to the Spirits, The Divine Voice and the Old Gods and the family motto, "Fight for what you consider is precious."

PERSONALITY: Hadrian's personality can be associated with the combination of an unforgiving snow blizzard and a lit candle in the middle of said snow blizzard. He is ruthless, cold, and downright hostile to people he does not trust. Though there are times he could be civil to these people; however, his level of propriety would only reach the aspect of courteous greetings. To most people, he would express himself with little words and simple gestures in accordance with propriety and decorum. The opposite comes when he interacts with people he truly know and trust, especially with his beloved twin sister. He would be kind, gentle and would exude an inviting aura that could calm most people. He would be talkative and, at times, would animatedly discuss with these people with so much familiarity that would denote that they are close--either as friends or as family. In short he displays a frigid front to those he does not truly know trust while he displays a warm and inviting front to those he truly know and trust.

EQUIPMENT AND ABILITIES
EQUIPMENT
- White Full Plate armor that covers almost the entirety of his body. Numerous black and gold rose patters can be seen on the surface of the armor especially the greaves, pauldron, breastplate, and gauntlet.
- A Claymore which is approximately 4.6 feet long. The blade is that of a standard claymore though it has been tempered multiple times in order to increase its durability and strength. At the center of the blade, the words "Defender of the Faith, Destroyer of Woes" is engraved in gold on both sides of the blade. A beautiful blooming black rose with golden tips could be seen at the base of the blade, acting as the rain guard of chappe. The cross-guard has the same rose motif as his armor and it is slightly angled by approximately 10 degrees. The grip is made of black fine leather and the pommel resembles a black rose in full bloom.
- His left arm is considered to be an arcane focus. It is said that the purpose of the arm is to help calm his mind, his body, and his senses. To boost his concentration and to channel the energies quickly needed to perform the most complex offensive arcane spells. He can channel his arcane power through the claws giving him a longer reach and a much deadlier offensive power if he loses his primary weapon.
ABILITIES (OFFENSIVE)
- Fire Claws - Conjures claws made of red fire for hand-to-hand combat. Claws can be lengthened based on the power pumped into the spell. Used in case he loses his sword.
ABILITIES (DEFENSIVE)
- Heaven's Illustrious Shield - Summons a fiery shield that, is so hot, could melt and distort most weapons upon impact preventing harm befalling the caster. Only drawback is that certain arcane attacks, upon the shield, have a 75% chance to distort the shield itself and harm the caster or the attack would not distort the shield and increase the defensive capabilities of the shield itself; furthermore, it has a 25% chance that nothing would happen to the shield and to the caster at all.

BRIEF HISTORICAL BACKGROUND (WARNING: IT MIGHT BE VAGUE - DISCOVER MORE AS CHARACTER PROGRESS)
- Origins: Family line originated in Tyr, Krestmere and Jotun. Clan was nomadic at the first few generations and clan assets fluctuate. After a few generations clan moved to Volstack to finally settle down. Upon settling down, clan assets reached new heights. Creation of mercantile, blacksmith and mercenary guilds brought familial prestige. A generation later, these guilds unified and formed the guild known presently still as Obscura Rosa headed by Maximilian Grayfang Angelos, great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather of the Angelos Twins.
- Birth: The Angelos Twins, Hadrian Estel Angelos and Lyalee (Lia-lee) Seraphina Angelos, were born. Parents were Lucretia Angelos nÊe Shadowmoon, noblewoman and ranger for the Umbra Arundo Obscura and Erich Wilhelm Angelos Grand Master/leader of the Obscura Rosa. At their early four years of their life, their parents noticed they were far more intelligent than regular children thus the parents seized the opportunity to teach them at an early age.
- Age 5: The twins began their training which consisted of physical conditioning and the basic stances and forms in hand-to-hand combat. Basic education for the twins begins.
- Age 6: Start of weapons training and specialization training in hand-to-hand combat. Twins discover their Arcane Potential. Hadrian took an interest with the blade than the arcane while his sister took the subtlety of the Arcane Arts than wielding a blade.
- Age 7: Start of Arcane Training.
- Age 8: Advanced Weapons Training begins. Education of twins now involve the basics of the "family business" such as the mercantile, blacksmith and mercenary sector of the guild and the basics of society at large such as politics, economy and the like.
- Age 12: Twins given a choice to pursue which path. Hadrian chose the military-political path while focusing on his Sword Arts/Styles while Lyalee chose the political-economic path who also dabbled deeper in the Arcane Arts. Thus began their more advanced specialization training. Oftentimes, the twins share what they learned to each other thus gaining a basic understanding of different subjects taught to them. Arcane training progressed well. Twins achieved the rank of Master Apprentice, though Hadrian halted his arcane training due to his chosen vocation. Rising tension between rival clans and families especially the Vaharian clan.
- Age 16: Hadrian is declared Heir/Master of the Dark Rose of the Obscura Rosa. Lyalee will be declared Heir/Master of the Dark Rose after Hadrian becomes Grand Master/leader.
- Age 18: Coming-of-age party for Hadrian, for Lyalee is still 17 at the time since Hadrian was born a minute before midnight followed by Lyalee 15 minutes late. Party was interrupted by an attack at their home. Lucretia and Erich dies trying to protect their family and clan members. Lyalee was kidnapped during the commotion. Hadrian took the responsibility as "unofficial" clan head and guild leader. Search parties dispatched to search for Lyalee, Hadrian also joins the search. 4 days later they came across a camp made by mercenaries near the border of Alzeran. They stormed the camp after seeing one of the mercenaries wear the Vaharian insignia, a lions head in front of a golden sun. Hadrian loses his left arm in the skirmish and saves his sister though she loses her right eye before he came and rescued her. His sister was traumatized; never again to fully trust the company of men but her own brother. Hadrian made a vow to protect his sister and make the Vaharian clan pay for their transgression.
- Age 18.5: Hadrian, along with a contingent of Obscura Rosa's finest, infiltrated the Vaharian clan compound. The adults were systematically executed while the children were blindfolded and led away from the carnage. Some of the children were adopted by other families but most stayed and integrated themselves in the Angelos clan as a branch family.
- Age 19: Hadrian officially became Clan Head of the Angelos Family and "Grand Master of the Dark Rose" of the Obscura Rosa while his sister became "Master of the Dark Rose". Their training intensified in light of recent events.
- Age 27: His sister achieved the rank of "Master Arcanist" while he achieved the rank of "Master Swordsman". Their physical prowess are up to par with the best their enemies and the Queen has to offer and during the eight year period they expanded the family connections in the political, economic and military world.
- Age 28: PRESENT DAY.
