Personality
MENTAL & EMOTIONAL
[hr][/hr]
Personality
People see Lonan as lazy and good for nothing, but what do they really
know? Oh he is good at fooling people to hide his true nature. The man
is nothing more than a conniving scoundrel. He is cocky, selfish,
egotistical, narcissistic and just a regular ass. He is a playboy and he
doesn't see why he shouldn't be with his looks. Lonan realizes that he
is egotistical and [strike]probably borderline[/strike] narcissistic,
but that's just who he is. Nothing will ever change his ways.
To Lonan life is just a game and he is playing to win. He sees life as a
fragile and temporary state of being. A state that can end just as
easily as it began. One just needs to remember that Death is the prize
that awaits us all at the end of this game. If he thinks he can use
someone to get ahead in this little game he'll find a way to do it in a
heartbeat.
If you are looking for sympathy or pity don't ever turn to him because
more than likely you're not going to get it from him. Really it's hard
to tell if this guy even has a heart. Lonan has never let anyone get
close enough to find out. It's very doubtful that he loves anything more
than riches, fame and himself.
Mortal Alignment Chaotic Neutral
Motivation Lonan is purely motivated
by money and fame. He is also motivated by playing the game of life to
it's fullest even if it means using people to get ahead.
Fear(s) Losing to the game before it's
truly over. Getting attached to something or someone. He likes his
life the way it is and doesn't care if he really has a heart or not.
Truthfully he doesn't want to take the time to find out if he is capable
of loving things other than himself, money, fame and playing the role
of the lazy, good for nothing playboy bounty hunter.
Likes Himself, fame, money, woman,
alcohol, sweets. Did he mention himself. Oh he also enjoys having Eririn
as his companion. Being lazy and not exerting more energy than
necessary and letting others do his dirty work.
Dislikes Losing, this is something he
hates more than anything. Getting his hands dirty and having to do hard
work. People who try to make him change his ways. Lonan also hates to
feel emotions unless they are directed towards money or himself.
Strengths
Hiding
his true skills and talent. Lonan hides himself well behind the mask
of a lazy good for nothing playboy who every once in a while plays
bounty hunter and gets lucky doing so due to having his mate. The man
likes to leave people guessing and is amused when they realize he
actually knows what he's doing in a fight. No one would really pick him
to be much of a fighter much less be good at it.
Handsome
face. Let's face it Lonan knows that his handsome features make woman
and even some men attracted to him. He also knows just how to use this
to his advantage to get what he wants. Although it does nothing, but to
help inflate his already enormous ego.
Charisma.
This is probably one his best qualities. From time time Lonan has been
known to inspire others. Unfortunately he tends to just use his
charisma to charm people and get them to do things for him. As a means
to just use them for his own gain. It's such a waste of a great talent.
Weaknesses
Egotistical
and narcissistic ways. Seriously this guy loves himself way too much.
Oh and if you are ever talking with Lonan and don't want to get bored
for hours just listening to him go on about himself the best thing you
can do is keep the conversation on other topics. Don't give him the
chance to start talking about himself. Thinking of himself gets him in
trouble more often then not.
Lack of emotion. Lonan
doesn't consider this to be a weakness, but it is one of his short
comings. He would much rather not feel anything when it concerns other
people. Now if it's towards himself, wealth or status then that's a
different story. His lack of emotions can cause him problems from time
to time and it's usually concerning his mate.
Wealth and status. The only
thing he loves more than these is himself. He will do just about
anything to gain them. Lonan doesn't care what the means are, who he has
to use or who he has to step on. If he has a chance to get ahead he
will take it.
[hr][/hr]
SPIRITUAL
[hr][/hr]
Faith & Morals
Agnostic. He doesn't really believe in gods or spirits or anything of
that sort. He does believe in the possibility that there could be some
greater power out there that is pulling the strings. Lonan is motivated
by wealth and of course fame. Virtues Patience is probably one of
the only redeeming qualities that Lonan possesses. One thing is for sure
he doesn't mind waiting for an opening to make his move. Also if he
can get something done by not having to resort of fighting and getting
his hand dirty he'll do it. Despite being lazy the man does possess a
bit of diligence in the respect of never giving up. If he isn't able to
get what he wants one way then he will look for another. At times he
can be rather meticulous with his actions to insure the results he
wants. Sins Sin is something that Lonan is no
stranger to. At the top of his list is greed for wealth, status and
attention. Next would have to be pride/vanity. He is one of the most
self centered people that you will ever meet. One has to wonder how he
can go around standing so tall while shouldering that huge ego of his.
Another sin that makes the list is lust. Other than lust for himself he
is a playboy, he also loves good booze. The way he seeks wealth and
status you could say he even lusts for them as well. The man can be
gluttonous when it comes to getting attention, seeking money or gaining
fame. He will almost stop at nothing to gain them.
Equipment / Abilities
ATTIRE
[hr][/hr]
Head/Neck
He rarely wears anything on his head because he doesn't want to mess
up his hair. Usually Lonan wears what appears to be a collar around his
neck which is attached to the black leather chest armor he wears. If a
job requires it he will disguise himself, usually by wearing his 'assassin'
attire instead of his normal attire. For times such as that he will
wear a black mask that covers his mouth and nose, hiding most of his
face. Chest/Back Lonan's normal attire
consists of a crimson sleeveless shirt with black leather bottom under
black leather chest armor and a black sleeveless jacket (trench length).
The leather armor only covers his chest. The shirt cuts off at an
angle and reveals a bit of his midriff. Arms/Legs On his arms he wears black
and crimson sleeves, covering most of them. Lonan also wears black
utility belt over black pants and crimson leg warmer looking things over
his black boots and pants.

WEAPONRY & EQUIPMENT
[hr][/hr]
Weapon 1
Obsidian Blade (pictured above). A long black blade with a jewel
encrusted silver handle. It's very useful in hand to hand or close
quarter fighting. Weapon 2Zen Twin Swords. Weapon 3Bow and quiver of 24 arrows.
Hand-to-hand
[Excellent] -- When he does have to fight he doesn't mind going
hand-to-hand. He actually prefers close range fighting verses long
range. Melee [Perfect] -- Don't let his looks fool you. Lonan knows how to fight and is a master with the twin swords that he carries. Ranged [ Above Average] -- Close
range fighting isn't always an option so he picked up using bow and
arrows for ranged attacks. He prefers them over using throwing knives or
other throwing weapons. Magic [Poor] -- Like most humans he
is lacking in the department of magical abilities. None of what he can
do is really worth noting as they are mostly just small illusion type
things that most would consider parlor tricks. The only use they are is
to entertain others to earn some money. Mounted [Above Average] -- Lonan is quite at home with riding on horses. His fighting while mounted isn't too shabby either.
History
BACKGROUND
[hr][/hr]
Kingdom Affiliation To be determined - will contract with the highest bidder Marital Status Eririn's 'lover' when it's convenient, otherwise Lonan is single Occupation The Lazy Narcissistic Playboy - aka Bounty Hunter History Lonan Xavier Corbin was born
in the kingdom of Yuua the only son of Julius Lester Corbin and Mary
Elizabeth Abendroth Corbin. He doesn't remember much about either of his
parents. They both died in a mysterious accident when he was a small
boy. At the time his only living relative was his maternal grandfather.
Gunther was a terrible man. Lonan didn't know the reason and never
would find out why, but his grandfather hated him and didn't try hiding
it. All he knew is that he couldn't do anything right in that man's
eyes. If he done the smallest thing wrong he would get beaten or locked
away, sometimes days at a time. Lonan was over joyed when Gunther
finally 'passed' away. Of course he may have helped him along the way a
bit, but that man had taught the young boy that life was merely a play
thing and a game, if you will. As long as you were in control and knew
what the prize at the end of the game was there is nothing to fear.
All you have to do is enjoy playing to it's fullest.
When the old man died Lonan was only ten years of age. The boy was
already damaged beyond repair as he was tossed into an orphanage. There
he changed even more. He became more cocky and egotistical. None of the
other children wanted anything to do with him, neither did most of the
adults. Lonan played people off of each other to his advantage. After
all if life was a game like his grandfather had taught him then he was
going to play it to win. He wasn't about to let anyone treat him like
that man had ever again. Nothing was going to be given to you free in
this world. If there was something he wanted he would have to take it.
So this is what he did. The boy's stay at the orphanage lasted until he
was thirteen. Tired of people trying to control him like he was their
puppet instead of them being his he ran away. To start a new life and
see where this game took him next.
For a while Lonan just travelled from place to place never staying long.
He would do odd jobs, picking up skills along the way. His journey
lead him to a man named Dimitri. Dimitri was a master swordsman and
bounty hunter. The man's laidback lifestyle along with how he was able
to basically get what he wanted with ease. The man had status/fame and
some wealth. It took Lonan several times approaching Dimitri before the
man finally agreed to teach him who to improve his fighting skills and
to teach him the ways of the world as it were. Even though the pair
spent years together Lonan never opened up to Dimitri about his past,
but Dimitri didn't care. He did however get annoyed with the teen and
his narcissistic ways and his little care for lives other than his own.
Despite this the older man did all he could for the teen in hopes that
maybe he would change. Of course he never did.
The pair parted ways after a disagreement. By this time Lonan was twenty
and more than ready to leave the softy behind him. He had learned
everything he needed to survive and to get what he desired. Even though
they split on not so good terms Dimitri gave Aisland to him as a
farewell. This pleased the man as Aisland was his favorite of the two
horses the men had bought together a few years back. He spent the next
year traveling on his own as a solo bounty hunter. Most people laughed
at him when he told them he was a bounty hunter. They just couldn't
imagine this narcissistic, lazy, good for nothing man as a bounty
hunter. Things were rough at first, but that didn't bother him one bit.
One day while he was travel through the forest using a short cut to get
to the next village he ended up falling off his horse. Well he thought
it was a short cut, but really he had just managed to get himself lost
due to his stupidity. A man had offered to guide him to the next
village safely for a fee. Lonan being the tightwad that he is didn't
take the man's offer and ventured out on his own. Anyway Aisland threw
him off due to a bear startling him. The stallion took off running,
leaving Lonan on the ground to deal with the beast. The bear roared at
him as he pulled out he reached for his swords. What happened next
seemed like it was in slow motion. A woman came out of no where and
easily defeated the beast that was twice her size.
He had to have her he thought to himself. With her as my partner I can
easily gain wealth and fame. That is what he thought in that moment.
Raising to his feet he dusted himself off. As the woman cleaned her
blade he spoke up complimenting her on her skill as well as her
strength. Lonan's words were velvety and smooth. She didn't take much
convincing to become his partner, which pleased him.
A couple of years passed and the two grew closer. They developed a
friends with benefits type relationship which was fine with him. As long
as Eririn was happy and it kept her by his side then he would play the
role of her lover even if he didn't feel the same. It be able to use
her to keep him from having to soil his hands suited him. So far she
was the best pawn he had found to use in this game of life that he
played.
All together the pair have been partners for five years now. Eririn has
become dependent on him and in some ways he on her. With the news of
the princess' disappearance and there being a handsome reward for her
return or for her death Lonan decided it was time to go on a new venture
for cash. Just like usually he would align himself with the highest
bidder. To him it doesn't matter if the job is to bring the princess
back alive or dead. All that matters is the cash and what fame this will
bring him. He cares not if it the results of his job will bring about
the union or destruction of the two kingdoms.
