Personality:
Antoni has always been the care-free type, never letting anything get him down. He is very light-hearted with many people and so he is also quite popular. He can be serious though and when he is few people mess with him through either fear of being caught in the cross-fire or getting shouted at for distracting him. He is very loyal to both his work as a blacksmith and his side job as a fighter for the Minthold army when they are having small skirmishes.
He tends to act more serious when he is fighting in the army and doesn’t talk as much, leading to the conclusion that many people who see one version of him and then the other would think they are totally different people. He uses this to his advantage and is able to be a threat without being seen.

Dislikes:
People who threaten others
Thieves
People who kill others for their own gain

Weakness:
People close to him being barred from him.
Water, his armour will start to freeze up when he is in water.

History:
Antoni was born in a rather normal family in Minthold. His parents were miners in one of the various large mediere quarries. It had always been back-breaking work for them and as soon as Antoni had been old enough to help he did, doing various odd jobs in the mining industry. In one of his odd jobs one day he was introduced to the refinement of mediere and, being as curious as he was, he absorbed some of the rock mediere into his body.

At his age this was forbidden, as he was only 12 at the time, but when he started to see the effects it had on him, making him more able to help others he continued to absorb rock mediere until he was found out at age 18. By this time he was completely accustomed to using rock mediere and was somewhat of a master in his own right.
When he was found out he should have been detained but his parents, and various other miners, stood up for him and so, instead of being detained, Antoni was taken out of the mines and was put into the blacksmith industry, where most people who were proficient at rock mediere were sent.

The punishment of this was that Antoni was forbidden from seeing his family or friends in the mines ever again, or until he was forgiven for his actions by the ruler of Minthold, which would be almost impossible for him. For days on end he kicked up a fuss about not being able to see his loved ones again and that is when he gained his weakness of not being near those he makes friends with.

A year passed and by now Antoni had accepted his fate to remain a blacksmith for the rest of his natural life, making friends with the other blacksmiths and the people who brought his goods. In that year, when Minthold was in a small fight with another nation people were asking for soldiers to be put forward to continue the battle. Antoni answered the call and for days on end made his own set of armour for battle, made of some of the best materials and crafted by his excellent use of his mediere.
That was when he became a fighter for the Minthold army. He only went into service though when there was a battle near Minthold and otherwise continued his work as a blacksmith. Only the army generals knew the two were connected.

Currently, since there haven’t been many battles that needed Antoni’s attention he has stayed being a blacksmith, his suit of armour gathering dust in a corner of his small shop, which he shared with another blacksmith. With war being expected though Antoni will probably have to don his armour once again and fight for his nation.

Equipment:
(Normal)
His black smith tools including a hammer (can be used as a weapon)
A small knife in case he gets some unruly customers.
A gold, sectioned necklace given to him when he left the mines for good.

(Fighter)

Food rations.
Sharpening tools for weapons.
A small journal where he can draw and write about his experiences both when he is fighting in the army and when he is working as a blacksmith.
