Traits/Element:
Fencer - You trained with blades for long hours as a youth, either taking lessons in the genteel art of fencing from tutors paid for by your parents or by being taken under the wing of a disenfranchised fencer who may have turned to a life of crime. You gain a +1 trait bonus on attacks of opportunity made with daggers, swords, and similar bladed weapons.
justification – In order to develop a more “well-rounded” child, Floyd's parents felt that it was necessary that he participate in a martial art of some sort. They asked him what he would like to learn and his unexpected answer was fencing. So he spent the next 8 winters of his life learning the art of fencing.
Focused Mind - Your childhood was either dominated by lessons of some sort (whether musical, academic, or other) or by a horrible home life that encouraged your ability to block out distractions and focus on the immediate task at hand. You gain a +2 trait bonus on concentration checks.
justification – An intricate combination of a gifted mind with a somewhat strict upbringing in terms of school and extra-curricular activities gave Floyd a sort of mental “tunnel vision” mechanism. He can shut out various aspects of life to focus on a specific thing such as a teacher's lecture, his part in a scene of a play, or a match. Of course he needs the right motivation to bother spending the energy to focus.

Description:
Floyd Prince Tanner is slightly above average when it comes to his height at 6' 1” and slightly below average for his weight at 182 lbs. His skin has a healthy tan from spending the summers at the local swimming pools and his straight, ear-length hair is brown with natural light brown highlights. He has a slender athletic build from his various physical activities and a mind that is incredibly sharp when he wants it to be. Overall he is a fairly attractive young man of 18.
He is very personable, honest, and well liked by most of his peers. It is rare to be able to put Floyd in a situation that leaves him completely at a loss for words but at the same time he knows what words are too important to say lightly. Being naturally easy going and incredibly lazy, he hasn't had much experience with the dating scene despite being raised to be respectful and courteous. In a high school standard he would rank as a very eligible bachelor with above average traits all around.
Something is missing in Floyd's life. Some greater sense of purpose or meaning that he is always writing about in his free time. He wants out of this seemingly endless cycle of life to find himself, whatever that may be. One day something will just click for him and all of that untapped potential will come bursting forth for everyone to see.
RP Introduction:
“Floyd Prince Tanner! Get in here, son!” his father called out angrily from the living room. The middle name was evoked, meaning that he had to go see what was so urgent, even if he did hate that name. His father and his mother were sitting on the couch staring at his report card on the coffee table. “Why do you insist on bringing home C's? We all know you can do so much better. We see it every time you perform, every time you are having fun, every time you put your mind to anything.”
Floyd just stood there quietly not responding to his father. He didn't really know what to say. Even if this was a conversation that had happened a few times before, the proper answer to that question was still beyond his abilities to find. There was something about school, about authority, about that life that he was expected to lead that rubbed him the wrong way. It took too much effort to excel and at the same time too much effort to fail.
