Name: Apollo
Race: Sheikah
Age: 29
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 154lbs
Eyes: Red
Hair: Blond put into a ponytail that reaches the middle of his neck
Nationality: Hyrule
Description:
Face: Rapped around the top of his head is a white bandage that doesn't have anything to do with injury but he simply thinkS it looks good. He has several scars on his face from various training accidents.
Body: Apollo has lean muscles that give him reasonable strength but don't get in the way when dexterity is needed. He has a slight tan the color of copper.
Clothes: His clothes are simple and keep him from standing out much. He wears a long sleeve shirt that has white sleeves and the Sheikah marks at the elbows. The rest of it is blue. His pants are all white with the Sheikah mark at each knee. His magic pouch is blue on the bottom half and white on the top half.
Personality: He holds himself in an odd emotionless state when trying to blend in with a crowd but when with people he trusts he is very cheery and talkative. He will make friends but only after researching them an making sure they aren't a threat. He dodges in battle mostly as he tries to avoid swordfights preferring to use stealth.
Weapon: Apollo has two katanas. They are extremely sharp and cut through what he has the physical strength to. They are made from a near indestructible metal but they will bend when put under enough pressure. The sheaths are on his back and make an X shape.
Shield: On his right arm is a metal plate reaching from his wrist to elbow. A small button makes more plates emerge from within fanning out to make a slightly jagged circle covering a good portion of his body. This shield stays open as long as Apollo holds down the button.
Sub-Weapon: A double bladed knife, with blades on both sides of the shaft. The blades are about 10 centimeters wide and 20 centimeters long (the shaft is also 20 centimeters long), giving the whole knife a length of 60 centimeters. The blade, when not used, is retractable into the shaft, making the knife only 20 centimeters long, and very portable. When the knife is retracted, the knives can be extended by a spring mechanism which is triggered by two switches on the handle, to prevent it from triggering in inconvenient situations. This blade is hidden in a leather case in his left sleeve.
Inventory:
Skills: He is very agile and strong, and can run up a 3 meter vertical surface such as a tree before needing something to grab onto. He is also able to jump about a half meter in the air hand standing, and 2 meters on his feet. He can also run at great speeds, almost as fast as a well trained horse. He is also able to use a bow efficiently, but he does not carry one with him. He can hold his breath for ten minutes at the most making him an excellent swimmer. He can ride a horse but not very well. He's ambidextrous (left and right handed) but his left is steadier by a small margin.
Magic:
Night Vision: Apollo can use this spell to see in the dark. It takes absolutely no energy and he can use it for as long as he wants.
Presence Hiding:He can easily hide in almost every place and situation by hiding his presence and aura. This causes other people to overlook him, thinking of him as something unimportant. This is a standard spell and takes almost no energy.
Invisibility: This spell simply makes him invisible. It's more draining than Presence Hiding but not by much. This lasts as long as he wants it to.
Strength Boost: This spell is his hardest to pull off. It's the most draining and he can only use it a short time. He loses some dexterity but gains the strength of a Goron. (This max time for this to be used is four posts.)
History: Apollo was born on a mountain near Lake Hylia. As there was little oxygen he became faster and stronger when going to lower ground. Before he could walk he could throw knives. He received his first katana at age eight. He wielded it with both hands. On his tenth birthday he received his second katana. He was then taught hot to fight with two weapons. It was on his twelfth birthday he received his secondary weapon. He was then taught how to use the katana and knife or just the knife. After being taught these and various other skills he was put to work. He did mostly low risk missions that wouldn't do much if he failed. He was given a sort of teacher named Sunari. Sunari was an older Sheikah that Apollo went on higher risk missions with. He also gave guidance and wisdom. Soon Apollo gained enough experience for Sunari and him to be equals.
Now at age 29 Apollo is nearly a Sheikah elite. He likes this as now there are less restrictions for his missions. He gets to pick while the elite are assigned missions. He has many missions under his belt and feels ready for more!
