Age: 260
Birthyear: NRC 266
Gender: Male
Race: Half-Common Elf/Half-Human
Homeland: Valis
Physical Description: Altaris is a man built more like his human father. He tall, well built and finely toned. His skin is slightly tanned and his eyes are a light blue. His hair is a bit long, and dark brown. His ears are half as long as an elf's ears, when he was younger, he'd hide then under his hair as he was often persecuted for being a 'half-breed'.
Clothing and Armor: Altaris wears soft white silk garp pants and a white silk shirt. He'd long ago come to love the feel of silk. Befitting his status, Altaris wears a suit of shining white plate mail with gold edged trim. A deep, rich, blue cloak flows from the armor. Hanging at his side is the blessed Sword of Marfa, sheathed in a scabbard of the same look as the armor.
Weapon: Where his magic lacks his swordsmanship replaces. He's very good at wielding a sword that's easily the size of his body (a 6ft long sword). It doesn't seem to hinder his movement, as others know, the sword is actually light as a feather. The sword was given to him by Marfa when he assended from Paladin to White knight, to Holy Knight, and finally Heavenly Knight. The sword has no powers but that doesn't mean it's not powerful.

Abilities: Altaris is a freelance knight who's been blessed with the title of Heavenly Knight which he achieved in the last war. Being a Heavenly Knight gives him access to spells that, being a half-elf, aren't supposed to be easy to learn or aquire. He can use most healing spells, some defensive spells, but NO offensive spells at all.
History: Altaris was born to a Alannian Footman and a common elven woman. He was raised in a happy home. His father was almost never there, due to the war. He knew very little of his father, mainly what his mother told him. By 7, he knew he'd never meet him. His mother knew she'd never see him either. The war spilled into their town and Altaris' mother was killed. Altaris was taken as a captive to be a slave. He prayed to himself day in and day out, as his form of strength and will to go on. He managed to escape a slave camp one night and ran until he could no longer run. He was on Marmo.
Though being a half-elf, it easy to mistake him as a human, his ears never grew longer, a blessing of sorts, but a curse at other times. Marmo wasn't a friendly place and he struggled to stay two steps ahead of his captures. Chance fell upon him when he made it to a remote fort, carefully hidden.
The chance meeting was with a Dark Elven Knight by the name of Azoth. He took the twenty-three year old boy back to the fort and began to see promise in him as a Knight. Training was rigorous. Altaris stayed the course and never stopped praying for better days. But he was thankful to be safe. Years whittled past and he grew stronger. By seventy-eight he was already a captain and was still rising in the ranks. Near his one hundred and seventh birthday he was a General. He was greatful, but felt a calling deep within and set out to travel.
The travels lasted a few years. Altaris started out with only the armor and sword given to him by the DoomKnights. His travels took him to many lands. He fought many enemies trying easy the sufferings of places he went. It started out as a whisper in the wind, but soon, he grew to understand a guiding voice in his mind was the Goddess he prayed to every spare moment he had.
Personality: Very strong willed and determined. He'll do anything he can to help others. He'd met Blaze a few times in their wanderings. He liked him as he shared a sense of justice like he did. He's very calm and considerate of others. Normally not one to complain but he knows when enough is enough. He's the kind of guy that would stick with you until the end. Fast and precise Altaris can make whole enemy groups run screaming in terror. He's dedicated to protecting every race in the land.
Alignment: Neutral Good
