Icarus Calderune - Poisoned Apple Guild - twin scimitars - rogue - shadows
Icarus was a pretty average person, and what he lacks in personal history retellings, he makes up for in his stories. Oh how he loves it. He could talk someone's ear off if they let him. He doesn't talk about his own past, as said. That is a mystery better left unsolved. Only thing people know about him is that his name is Icarus Calderone, he lived in Egypt, and he is deadly with swords. He learned fighting in real life, and his mastery of this talent only continues on in this life. Video games were just a way to pass the time. He did it because his friends did. He was never an addict, and this wasn't just a random whim he picked up on. He only ever got NervGear when his uncle gave it to him as a Christmas present some years ago. He played online with friends overseas or across country as a means of staying in touch and interacting, even though his one best friend insisted on always making his avatars of hot chicks with super sized boobs. A lot of other gamers would go up to him and be all, "Dude, you should totally tap that!" And he would snort awkwardly and viciously reproach and correct them. All that aside, Icarus himself always created really macho characters despite appearances. He didn't care if they were ugly, chunky orcs or big nosed dwarves: if they could pack a mean punch, that was what he picked. He always loved the tough, muscle characters, so that was what he always wanted to portray his avatars as. Skill is everything to Icarus. That's why he picked skilled characters in game while improving and adding to his plethora of skills out of game. He doesn't despise weakness as a rule, just the weakness inside himself, which is something he always saw when he was younger. Mostly it was the things he got from his dad: the judgements, the actions against him. He exudes much more confidence now as his physical strength and incredible fighting style can back up any tough words he may speak. He doesn't just bark: he can bite too. But though he comes across as a little domineering, a lot of people tend to underestimate him since he's so... nice. Nice people don't belong in a guild full of murderers like the Poisoned Apple, but he did it not because he enjoys murdering people, but because he decided, out of the blue, to help Joshua. He saw this kid who couldn't walk, picked him up, carried him around, and then continued doing so ever since. He'll never admit to caring about people. That's not really Icarus' way. But he obviously cares somewhat. His sense of honor and dignity and morality are also rather interesting topics to get into. He holds a lot of different values on things, having established his own code on which to base what is right or wrong, usually forming loopholes for himself to slip through. He can be a bit of a conundrum. In real life and now in game, Icarus is pretty muscular with a football player's body, spiky blonde hair, cold gray eyes, and warm, tanned skin. He is pretty tall at age twenty, capping at six foot three.
