His ears are covered on top with his shaggy hair. The back of his head is thick and matted and his neck covered in peachfuzz.

General Appearance: Tolk stands with a slight hunch, not always evident, from years of working hard days. His face is soft and still between a growing teen and a child. His chin is developing hard and square. His face is fair skinned and glows with youth on the prime of growing.
Tolk's body is lean and hard, with broad shoulders and well defined arms, being told by his village to train and condition as a defence from bandit attacks that have plauged the village and caused the death of Tolk's mother.
His feet are marked and weathered from years of walking barefoot, as is his prefrence. His face is evident of worry lines from years of abuse and a lack of a mother.
Tolk is almost always wearing a thin light-brown tunic cut off at the deltoid.
He wears thick leather pants sewn loosely together for breathing room. His boots (only worn during attacks ) are intricately carved at the bottom for traction, and rimmed at the bottom deep brown gradually fading to almost a cream top.

Weapon(s):
Pike- a large wooden pole 4.5ft (1.4m*) with a rugged broken star shaped blade at the apex (top) of the pole, slightly topheavy to provide momentum with his swings . The end of the star is spread into two wing shaped hooks(5 in long((12.7cm)) on each end parrellel and slightly curving forward ending on a harsh tip.
It was a gift from Maro, Tolks trainer, which has caused Tolk to idolize and emmulate his actions. Maro is Tolk's master and "big brother" helping him escape from his father from time to time.
Tolk is adept using quick lunginsgstabs, and slashes in quick succesion, Tolk lacks experiance and often charges head in with no plan of defence.

Small Dagger - This small dagger is seven inches(17.8cm*) in total, a three inch(7.6cm*) handle of hard weathered wood, and an elaborate deep grey stone pommel(the end of the handle connecting the blade) with circular counterbalances on each end of the pommel. The blade begins at 3in and wanes out to a harsh tip forming a very literal triangle. Of the metal quality, it is quite heavy and is not of perfect sources , emmulating the poor village.

Armor: Woolen tunics deeply green and brown. Ending just above the
knee, allowing flexibility. His boots are high and made of soft leather with worn soles.
When training Tolk is given a small sheild 13in( 33.1*)in diameter, and 3lbs(1.4kg*), it is attached to the forearm with a leateher brace, giving Tolk close range defences that he lacks in his training.

Carried Possessions: Two small pouches 2in in diameter used for small foods while farming, and a water canteen made of patched leather the size of a normal apple about 2 1/2 in tall., with a cylildrical shape.
His small necklace of leather strips , hanging from it is an oval of tanned leather with a image of the sun radiating onto fields of grain . This is to show the heritage of Tolk, he comes from a village worshipping the god of sun and harvest Dicio, who watches over the village and bestows his blessing to all pure blood inhabitents.

Dicio mask When in battle, Tolk chooses to wear the mask of his God Dicio, not only for protection but he is of a kind heart and not able to take a life. He wishes to intimidate an opponent rather then physically harm them. Made from grain husks and williow leaves to resemble a bushy reptilian beast, blessed by the village shaman.

Powers/Magic/Skills:
Dicio's Blessing- All plant life , and creatures feel a docile aura from Tolk. If any natural is within a 3ft(.91m*) circumfrence of Tolk, they are rejuvinated and blessed by Dicio as long as it is day time.

Limits: The blessings only effects beings in the sunlight and fatigues the person who has radiated this healing aura slightly. Due to the Gods main domain being the day.

Side-Effects: Creatures of night or poison feel malice and irritation towards all those with Dicio's blessings. Radiating the aura causes fatigue of holding the weight of stone bracelets and anklets to hinder movement.

Battle Strengths: High endurances and a long reach due to his weapon of choice the pike. Speed to attack multiple times quickly and effectively. Intimidation with Dicio's mask.

Battle Weaknesses: Lack of expeince and raw power due to being of a young age . An inability to kill due to feelings of sacredness to all life, Tolk will not take a life but will defend himself from harm. Dicio's blessing causes a heavy weight to encomber him near life receiving the blessings.

Can anyone come along and permit?
Im sure Tolk would love a freind in his small village, maybe a random merchant or anything you can think of
have a blast with it!

I'm pretty impressed. Nicely detailed for a first character.

General Appearance: Tolk stands with a slight hunch, not always evident, from years of working hard days. His face is soft and still between a growing teen and a child. His chin is developing hard and square. His face is fair skinned and glows with youth on the prime of growing.

Nice, but tell me what kind of clothes does he wear. I know you mention more of this in his armor section, but you don't mention anything about his pants in that section. I suggest keeping anything that isn't strictly armor (made to resist attack) in General Appearance.

Powers/Magic/Skills:
Dicio's Blessing- All plant life , and creatures feel a docile aura from Tolk. If any natural is within reach of Tolk, they are rejuvinated and blessed by Dicio as long as they remain in sunlight.

Is this power constantly in affect, or does he need to choose to use it consciously? If so, how long does it last? What would be the distance of "within reach"? Be sure to state these things clearly.

You have a couple of typos and stuff throughout the post. Try reading it closely or even out loud to yourself to catch them.

I hope I cleared up any confusion, I just edited the original post .
and thank you

Looks good.

Wooohhoooo can't wait to start.
