Name: Bradley
Age: 10
Gender: Male
Race: Eastern Human
Class/Rank:
Abilities: Bradley wears the Belt of the Hero, a belt composed of metal medallions linked by chain. There's eight in total which are meant to have gems. Thus far he only has two:
-Emerald of Agility: Grants him temporary bursts of extreme agility.
-Topaz of Hearing: Temporarily increases his hearing to levels in which he can hear even ultrasonic soundwaves.
Sadly he has no control over the gems at all and they tend to activate only when he absolutely needs them.
Personality: Bradley is a clever and resourceful boy who is great at using his wits to defeat opponents. Still he can fight and often comes up with strategies and tricks to defeat opponents much larger and stronger than him. With people he's outgoing and cheerful, often cheeky. However he can get quite serious and solemn when he's alone.
Appearance: Bradley is a fairly athletic boy with brown eyes and light brown hair in a medium length boy cut style. He wears brown shorts with the Belt of the Hero holding them up. Over his torso he wears a dark blue tunic with a folded down collar and a second, normal belt for it. He wears a greysih-blue cloak down his back with a bandolier over both holding a quiver and shortbow. He wears a thin blue bandana around his head and brown fingerless leather gloves on his hands and basic travelling boots on his feet.
Weapon/Magic: Shortbow
History: Bradley's mother died when he was very young and he was raised largely by his dad. His dad was an explorer and always went on journeys to far off places to bring back treasures and artifacts for the lord or various nobles. Being a scientist he also researched and studied them and he often found something to bring back for Bradley. The boy always waited eagerly for his dad to return, in the meantime being looked after by a babysitter.
And then shortly before his tenth birthday, his dad didn't come back. Bradley waited and waited for weeks after the day his dad said he would be home. Each night dreaming of him welcoming his son in the morning and apologizing for being so long away. But these dreams never came to fruition and on Bradley's tenth birthday his sitter found him crying on Big Nose Rock. The place had been named by Bradley and his father as such cause they both thought it looked like a huge nose.
The sitter helped cheer him up a little by giving him a short bow and quiver for his birthday. But the next day two soldiers showed up at the house. As Bradley was technically the temporary master of the household they spoke to him. They told him that they would be evicting him from the house if his dad didn't return in a week due to lack of payment.
Upset once more, Bradley wandered into his dad's study and a small chest caught his attention. Finding the key on the desk he opened the chest to find a metal belt, two gems and his father's notes. He discovered the belt was called the Belt of the Hero and the gems fit in the medallions and once there would grant the wearer special abilities for short periods of time. He was surprised to find a note to himself as well reading:
If you have found this Bradley, then it means I have not returned and am in great danger. This belt is the true reason for many of my trips. It's a belt of legend that I've been searching for over many long years. Now you'll need to use it to find me. I don't expect this of you understand Bradley, it would be dangerous and I'd rather you stay at home where it's safe. Whatever you decide to do, don't let that belt fall out of your hands.
Love, Dad
Bradley packed that night, keeping the belt hidden under his tunic, and set out to find the rest of the belt and rescue his father. Not knowing what danger lay ahead, but not caring.
