About The Scarlet Knight“The Scarlet Knight”, Proud Champion
Current Appearance:
The Scarlet Knight is wearing scale mail with a red-colored helmet with two short (4") stag horns atop it, sweeping back. He wears red boots. The rest of his armor is of a basic color, and his cloak is nondescript and battered. He is 6'3" and on the thin side, but when seen without his armor on, his arms and legs are powerfully muscular. He is never seen without his helmet or a cloth hood and mask on (both red). He carries a steel shield, shortbow, and a quiver of arrows as well. When he eats, he wears a red hood/cowl to continue to hide his face somewhat, but a red goatee can be seen.
Personality:
The Scarlet Knight is something of an enigma. So far, he has spoken almost exclusively in some form of poetry -- rhyming couplets, limericks, sonnets, or haiku. He occasionally forgoes this rule during the heat of combat. He is open in his devotion to Arazni. The Scarlet Knight -- who goes by 'Sir Scarlet' or 'Bucky' depending on the speaker -- has revealed to the party that he is a noble-born member of Brevoy lineage, but not which House. While not sharing the reasons why, he's stated that his former life as an aristocrat is no longer available to him and a part of his past, and that he feels shame regarding his carefree and idle youth, seeing his younger self as little more than a spoilt noble. The Scarlet Knight shares a connection to the woodlands in particular that he's not been able to fully master, nor explain. He feels more comfortable in forests than in other geographical regions, and at times almost feels like he can 'hear' what the woods might be whispering. Specifically, his connection to the woods manifests itself in the appearance of a thin Japanese maple tree whose coloring is a fiery red or dark crimson. When summoned, the tree grows behind The Scarlet Knight almost protectively, and maple leaves flutter about him within a 10' radius. This tree has proven unusually useful, once providing a small branch from itself for the Knight to use as a weapon during a fight. (This space will be filled in as time goes on.) Attacks:
