Description: Standing at about 6', Anton is a cleanly-shaven young man with slightly long, jet-black hair. Even considering his age, Anton is fairly well-muscled, as expected from his previous job - and current hobby - as a blacksmith. Unlike some of the other Guardians, however, Anton is fairly humble and quite laidback, preferring to take things at his own pace. However, others have noted an iron determination in his eyes, especially on the rare occasions when Anton has been provoked.
Preferred Clothing: Generally, Anton will wear a lightweight tunic, with darker pants along with matching boots and gloves. While he's working at his family's smithy, he'll usually be found in a leather apron and sleeves rolled back. However, when adventuring, he will wear his signature white armored coat, along with leather-reinforcecd clothing underneath.
Equipment:
- Forgesong, a sword handed down in the Wulfram family, is Anton's primary choice of weapon. It is a slightly curved blade with a curved grip carved from some rare, white stone. Due to the blade's own masterful craftsmanship, it has never been scratched, let alone notched.
- Armor: Anton usually wears a white padded coat over jet-black leather-and-cloth armor. His white coat has a variety of iron threads running through them, which dramatically improve its protective capabilities. In addition, Anton also keeps quite a bit of his metal in the form of a gauntlet on his left hand, and sharpens his fingers into points on occasion.
Skills/Mancer Abilities:
Metalmind: Anton is one of the few Gaiamancers with the rare ability to control metal. While others would use this to make crude facsimilies of weapons, Anton's previous apprenticeship as a blacksmith translates into the precise knowledge required to make a wide array of weapons. Given the appropriate amount of time to do so, and Anton doesn't even require a forge to craft his own goods (although that, or a sufficiently skilled Pyromancer, does make the job significantly easier).
Hammer And Anvil: While it doesn't produce the brighter notes associated with an actual hammer and anvil, this move releases a quick series of miniature earthquakes in the area around Anton. The cacophany of cracks and rumbles, along with the actual shifting earth, is more than enough to topple most enemies.
Telekinesis: Along with his knack for manipulating metal, Anton is also gifted with telekinesis. While other Gaiamancers may use their telekinesis in displays of brute strength, Anton's is far more precise, allowing him to use multiple items at the same time.
Basalt Bastion: While this may be a rather simplistic move, being able to raise a barrier of earth that can block most types of offense is ridiculously useful - especially for a Guardian like Anton. While he can easily raise a barrier for himself, raising one that can withstand a heavy attack or a barrier that protects multiple allies isn't easy. In addition, the quality of the barrier is heavily dependent upon the terrain itself - sand would make barriers weaker, but easier to make, for example.
Shard Storm: Once he's used up his barriers, however, Anton prefers to retaliate immediately by fracturing and blasting the individual chunks of rock at his enemies. This retaliation usually takes enemies by surprise, and also forces them on the defensive, especially if they had previously exhausted themselves.
Blacksmithing: Since he was trained as a blacksmith, Anton is pretty capable in both metallurgy and smithing. While this usually means that he's a good person to go to when building something, he can also turn that knowledge into other offensive uses - like figuring out structural weaknesses in armor or on doors.

Personality: Anton is, despite his blacksmithing training and muscular build, a fairly gentle person. He's exceedingly cautious and precise in virtually everything he does, but he prefers to relax and take things at his own pace. Compared to the other Guardians, Anton is a a relatively normal person, who's only in as a Guardian because he's the first Gaiamancer from the Wulfram family in three generations. However, he does take both his blacksmithing skills and his role as a Guardian extremely seriously. Those who have tried to mock his family have learned this the hard way.
Family Status:
Father: Wilhelm Wulfram, the current owner of Wulfram & Sons Smithy, has been a blacksmith for his whole life, and doesn't intend to change that. Despite being almost 50, the head of the household insists on working daily in the forge. Despite not being a Gaiamancer himself, Wilhelm certainly has a similar temperament shared by most other Gaiamancers; he's a stern, disciplined man, but cares deeply for his family. He's slightly taller than Anton, coming in at 6'1", and has probably the coolest beard ever. He somehow ensures that it never catches on fire, which is just downright bizarre.
Mother: Brigid Wulfram runs the store section of Wulfram & Sons Smithy, which sells all manner of basic tools and utilities. If it's metal, Brigid definitely sells it. She's a fairly kind woman, but those who try to haggle with her might not like what they see...
Younger Brother: Mikhail Wulfram, Anton's younger brother, is an extremely talented musician. With his mandolin and charming baritone, he can often be found in The Lethal Spoon - but only when he isn't made to work in the forge.
Personal History:
Anton's a pretty average guy. There really isn't all that much to him!
