Arrow Alamis Ammir

Name: Alamis Ammir
Alias(es): "Fox Diamond" "Alexander Loche" "A.M." "Alpha Two"
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Eye colour: Blue
Hair: Black
Age: 23
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 162 lbs.
Laterality: Left-Handed

Weapon(s): Rapier, 2 Daggers, Blowgun with Blowdarts, Poisons; lethal and non-lethal, ability to improvise weapons
Armor: Clothing (Basically none)

Skills/Magic: Alamis has trained himself in stealth and acrobatics, lending him extensive mobility and evasion. However none of these abilities are augmented in any way; they all rely on his actual cunning and physical strength. Examples of his abilities include: fast running speed, impressive vertical and horizontal leap, above-average endurance, capability to hide effectively, move silently, and knowledge of poisons.

Appearance: Alamis stands at around at the average height for humans, with an athletic build and pale skin. His black hair extends down to the base of his neck, and it is nearly always messy or wild. His blue eyes are unreadable, though they seem to always be scanning his surroundings subtlety. The rest of his face is as unreadable as his eyes, usually carrying a look of slightly aloof boredom, though Alamis is adept at bluffing and his expression is apt to crack into any emotion, genuine or artificial.

As for weaponry, Alamis prefers discretion and usually appears to the casual eye as just another unarmed, everyday human. However he usually has weapons concealed all over his person.

Personality: Alamis is taciturn, opportunistic, and cynical. He experiences emotions like anyone else, but is experienced at concealing it and/or shaking it off with a type of dark humour. He has little regard for laws, customs, and honour, though he is intelligent enough to not underestimate any opponent. Alamis readily assumes that every enemy probably has an ace up their sleeve or a backup plan, and he usually tries to fight accordingly. As for his opponents, he views anyone as a potential opponent, but until then, he typically leaves people to their devices. His general philosophy on people is summed up thusly: "Live and let live. Unless I have a good reason to let them not."

Alamis is primarily motivated by material goods and money. His emotions are reigned over by him rather than the other way around: he views grudges and vengeance as petty and simply a distraction from the real reward or the real mission. Cynicism leaves him incapable of embarking on a selfless quest for good. Despite his rather cold-blooded outlook and personality, he would rather not kill anyone not in his way, and is not adverse to friendship (but achieving it with him is no mean feat).

Bio: Born to an unmarried woman by the name of Alexandria in the slums of the massive city of Bellgate, Alamis never knew his father as he had left Alexandria before even she knew she was pregnant. Alexandria worked at a tavern for fringe pay at this time, and she often sent Alamis on little chores to help add to their scant income. Things went on like this quietly for a long time, until Alamis discovered thievery.

Spying a drunken but wealthy merchant on the street one fine day, Alamis shadowed him until he was in a relatively deserted area, and then quickly mugged him. He disappeared quickly after that, and brought his mother the valuables, weaving a story of how he found them on the street to allay suspicion. And so it went, another day, another robbery. He was making money at a breakneck pace before long, and his mother (along with him) were moving up the economic ladder steadily. But just as he was beginning to reap the reward at the age of 16, disaster struck.

Having slipped up in one of his thefts, he'd been caught. Of course, with one mistake, a chain reaction occured, pieces fell into place, and most of his other robberies were found out quickly, turning him into an instant wanted man. His mother was killed while being interrogated, his material wealth was quickly liquefied, and his house burned down. With all the chaos and disorder in his life, Alamis gave himself no time to grieve; he quickly seized his emotions and shoved them aside for the sake of survival. He grew his hair out, shaved off his usually identifying mustache (which he has kept off) and invented a fake identity: "Alexander Loche" named after his mother.

Working under this alias, he managed to work up enough income to leave Bellgate, not to come back until he has the means to clear himself of his charges. He lived as a nomad from then on, travelling from city to city, land to land, accumulating more and more wealth obsessively through bounty hunting, mercenary work, and common theft, but never sticking around long enough to be caught again.

Strengths: Alamis' strengths are obvious; he is cunning, stealthy, physically imposing, and overall a formidable opponent. In addition, he is an experienced thief, tracker, and has extensive knowledge of poisons. He has good control of his emotions, and is focused and determined. His left-handedness is an oft-overlooked advantage of his, exactly for that reason: most people are expecting to fight a right-handed opponent.

Weaknesses: Alamis is greedy, tends to be self-serving, and overly cynical. He is slightly paranoid, and so has trouble being loyal to people, and believing that people may be loyal to him. Because of his style, he does not don armor, which makes him rather fragile in combat. Despite his skill at evasion and his extensive endurance, Alamis is mortal, and so he will eventually get tired, less able to evade attacks, which is his only defense besides stealth.
