Height: 6'0
Weight: Without armor; 165; With Armor; 315
Eye Color: Brown

Race: Human

Personality

Cruentus tends to be quiet and resigned in his climbing parties, but still he uses his shield to protect them and his share of the loot. He's in it for the money and fame, and likes nothing better than getting a good pay off and moving to his next task. Although, he does have a small good conscious that causes him to sometimes help out random strangers then regain his composure and ask for a reward.

Equipment

Heavy plated armor, that he wears everywhere. A red bladed sword that is made of strong metals mixed with gemstones. Also, a large iron wrought shield that has ruby coverings to add to its weight and keep it in top shape for fighting the evil beasts.

History

He was brought into this world and began to see that his parents were poor, soon he left stealing away on the night of his thirteenth birthday to become a climber and make a name for himself. After a few runs he began to learn about the nature of the various beasts and was soon becoming less of a straight out attacker and more of a shield. Soon he purchased a shield and began to train with it wearing a heavier plate armor. Within the next two years he had mastered his shield and sword combo. On his last excursion into the towers he lost his entire group to the beasts, he ran and made it out with his life and now wanders the land looking for more experienced members to join with and climb to the top to see the real commander of the tower.

So begins...

Cruentus Contego walked past the liquor stores shining walls and kept his eyes focused on the shining bronze street. The sound of his well oiled and sturdy armor clanking and scraping lightly against the metal street. Letting his shield shift down from his shoulder by a few centimeters he would keep his left hand on the crossguard of his weapon. Barely taking notice of the woman drinking outside the shop.

Cruentus Contego drew his left foot up to his right and let his gaze wander up the woman that had fallen instep with his long strides. Hearing the word climber a small grin would begin to tug at the corners of his mouth "I may be a climber, but if there isn't money or something else to be gained in the journey you can count me out." he said the words smoothly and quickly before shifting his shield the two centimeters back up his shoulder to have it within his grasp "and who might you be, asking strangers if they're climber?"

Cruentus Contego raised his left hand from his sword and ran his fingers through his brunette locks. The grin spreading over his lips as he looked down at her with his piercing brown eyes. "a team, and what would the goal of said team be?" he asked her while pointing to a small park with large copper benches "why don't we go sit and discuss it?"

Cruentus Contego slipped down into a sitting position his long hawktail style sword set quickly upon one edge of the table. The red blade and tips pointed diagonally outwards from himself. The point would not be aimed at her however, "So miss Sha'rik, about this expedition you mentioned what would the aim be and how much money are we looking to make along the way..oh and whats the beast we would be primarily hunting." He asked all the questions in quick succession his voice breathing the words easily, as if it were rehearsed.

Cruentus Contego sighed and leaned back carefully stretching out his upper body. "well climbing the towers the easy part, as for the monsters whats your plan for handling them, what all are you going to gather into the team beside me and yourself, that is if I decide to go along." Letting a single breath escape beneath his teeth he would try hard to keep the grin from slipping or growing larger. "it sounds straight forward but are you ready to fight the beasts that tore apart whole battalions of the empires soldiers?" he would carefully shift his left arm and move his shield down to set it lightly on the ground behind himself.

Cruentus Contego rolled his shoulders back and they gave a slight crack sound before the grin took over his features. "Well you better start looking, because we'll need more than just two to get past the tower." He would heft the shield up from the ground and hold it out to her with ease "here see if you can lift this for me" his grin would mysteriously vanish as his features began to harden into a very serious and cold expression "if you can't even lift this those monsters will eat you alive." he said coolly his eyes not wandering from her face.

Cruentus Contego 's lips parted slightly as a small chuckle left his throat. Reaching out with one hand he would easily lift the shield while standing, if she had no objections he was just going to walk away carrying her and the shield back towards the road "See, easy enough to lift after awhile, and you lifted it, however barely ..but don't worry I can always lift it for you" he would grin again "for all your talk of cunning plans you really don't get teamwork do you?"

Cruentus Contego smiled softly and turned back to face the exit "maybe you should train before you go to sleep, wind is also the first towers beasts affinity, I hope you have some other tricks saved up" he would turn and wink to her before slipping outside the city and wandering towards the normal place he had been camping and training.
