MENTAL & EMOTIONAL

Personality People see Lonan as lazy and good for nothing, but what do they really know? Oh he is good at fooling people to hide his true nature. The man is nothing more than a conniving scoundrel. He is cocky, selfish, egotistical, narcissistic and just a regular ass. He is a playboy and he doesn't see why he shouldn't be with his looks. Lonan realizes that he is egotistical and ~~probably borderline~~ narcissistic, but that's just who he is. Nothing will ever change his ways.

To Lonan life is just a game and he is playing to win. He sees life as a fragile and temporary state of being. A state that can end just as easily as it began. One just needs to remember that Death is the prize that awaits us all at the end of this game. If he thinks he can use someone to get ahead in this little game he'll find a way to do it in a heartbeat.

If you are looking for sympathy or pity don't ever turn to him because more than likely you're not going to get it from him. Really it's hard to tell if this guy even has a heart. Lonan has never let anyone get close enough to find out. It's very doubtful that he loves anything more than riches, fame and himself.

Mortal Alignment Chaotic Neutral

Motivation Lonan is purely motivated by money and fame. He is also motivated by playing the game of life to it's fullest even if it means using people to get ahead.

Fear(s) Losing to the game before it's truly over. Getting attached to something or someone. He likes his life the way it is and doesn't care if he really has a heart or not. Truthfully he doesn't want to take the time to find out if he is capable of loving things other than himself, money, fame and playing the role of the lazy, good for nothing playboy bounty hunter.

Likes Himself, fame, money, woman, alcohol, sweets. Did he mention himself. Oh he also enjoys having Eririn as his companion. Being lazy and not exerting more energy than necessary and letting others do his dirty work.

Dislikes Losing, this is something he hates more than anything. Getting his hands dirty and having to do hard work. People who try to make him change his ways. Lonan also hates to feel emotions unless they are directed towards money or himself.

Strengths

Hiding his true skills and talent. Lonan hides himself well behind the mask of a lazy good for nothing playboy who every once in a while plays bounty hunter and gets lucky doing so due to having his mate. The man likes to leave people guessing and is amused when they realize he actually knows what he's doing in a fight. No one would really pick him to be much of a fighter much less be good at it.
Handsome face. Let's face it Lonan knows that his handsome features make woman and even some men attracted to him. He also knows just how to use this to his advantage to get what he wants. Although it does nothing, but to help inflate his already enormous ego.
Charisma. This is probably one his best qualities. From time time Lonan has been known to inspire others. Unfortunately he tends to just use his charisma to charm people and get them to do things for him. As a means to just use them for his own gain. It's such a waste of a great talent.

Weaknesses

Egotistical and narcissistic ways. Seriously this guy loves himself way too much. Oh and if you are ever talking with Lonan and don't want to get bored for hours just listening to him go on about himself the best thing you can do is keep the conversation on other topics. Don't give him the chance to start talking about himself. Thinking of himself gets him in trouble more often then not.
Lack of emotion. Lonan doesn't consider this to be a weakness, but it is one of his short comings. He would much rather not feel anything when it concerns other people. Now if it's towards himself, wealth or status then that's a different story. His lack of emotions can cause him problems from time to time and it's usually concerning his mate.
Wealth and status. The only thing he loves more than these is himself. He will do just about anything to gain them. Lonan doesn't care what the means are, who he has to use or who he has to step on. If he has a chance to get ahead he will take it.

SPIRITUAL

Faith & Morals Agnostic. He doesn't really believe in gods or spirits or anything of that sort. He does believe in the possibility that there could be some greater power out there that is pulling the strings. Lonan is motivated by wealth and of course fame.
Virtues Patience is probably one of the only redeeming qualities that Lonan possesses. One thing is for sure he doesn't mind waiting for an opening to make his move. Also if he can get something done by not having to resort of fighting and getting his hand dirty he'll do it. Despite being lazy the man does possess a bit of diligence in the respect of never giving up. If he isn't able to get what he wants one way then he will look for another. At times he can be rather meticulous with his actions to insure the results he wants.
Sins Sin is something that Lonan is no stranger to. At the top of his list is greed for wealth, status and attention. Next would have to be pride/vanity. He is one of the most self centered people that you will ever meet. One has to wonder how he can go around standing so tall while shouldering that huge ego of his. Another sin that makes the list is lust. Other than lust for himself he is a playboy, he also loves good booze. The way he seeks wealth and status you could say he even lusts for them as well. The man can be gluttonous when it comes to getting attention, seeking money or gaining fame. He will almost stop at nothing to gain them.

ATTIRE

Head/Neck He rarely wears anything on his head because he doesn't want to mess up his hair. Usually Lonan wears what appears to be a collar around his neck which is attached to the black leather chest armor he wears. If a job requires it he will disguise himself, usually by wearing his 'assassin' attire instead of his normal attire. For times such as that he will wear a black mask that covers his mouth and nose, hiding most of his face.
Chest/Back Lonan's normal attire consists of a crimson sleeveless shirt with black leather bottom under black leather chest armor and a black sleeveless jacket (trench length). The leather armor only covers his chest. The shirt cuts off at an angle and reveals a bit of his midriff.
Arms/Legs On his arms he wears black and crimson sleeves, covering most of them. Lonan also wears black utility belt over black pants and crimson leg warmer looking things over his black boots and pants.

WEAPONRY & EQUIPMENT

Weapon 1 Obsidian Blade (pictured above). A long black blade with a jewel encrusted silver handle. It's very useful in hand to hand or close quarter fighting.
Weapon 2 Zen Twin Swords.
Weapon 3 Bow and quiver of 24 arrows.

COMBAT ABILITY

Rating System
[Perfect] - [Excellent] - [Above Average] - [Average] - [Below Average] - [Poor] - [Terrible] - [No Skill]

Hand-to-hand [Excellent] -- When he does have to fight he doesn't mind going hand-to-hand. He actually prefers close range fighting verses long range.
Melee [Perfect] -- Don't let his looks fool you. Lonan knows how to fight and is a master with the twin swords that he carries.
Ranged [ Above Average] -- Close range fighting isn't always an option so he picked up using bow and arrows for ranged attacks. He prefers them over using throwing knives or other throwing weapons.
Magic [Poor] -- Like most humans he is lacking in the department of magical abilities. None of what he can do is really worth noting as they are mostly just small illusion type things that most would consider parlor tricks. The only use they are is to entertain others to earn some money.
Mounted [Above Average] -- Lonan is quite at home with riding on horses. His fighting while mounted isn't too shabby either.

BACKGROUND

Kingdom Affiliation To be determined - will contract with the highest bidder
Marital Status Eririn's 'lover' when it's convenient, otherwise Lonan is single
Occupation The Lazy Narcissistic Playboy - aka Bounty Hunter
History Lonan Xavier Corbin was born in the kingdom of Yuua the only son of Julius Lester Corbin and Mary Elizabeth Abendroth Corbin. He doesn't remember much about either of his parents. They both died in a mysterious accident when he was a small boy. At the time his only living relative was his maternal grandfather. Gunther was a terrible man. Lonan didn't know the reason and never would find out why, but his grandfather hated him and didn't try hiding it. All he knew is that he couldn't do anything right in that man's eyes. If he done the smallest thing wrong he would get beaten or locked away, sometimes days at a time. Lonan was over joyed when Gunther finally 'passed' away. Of course he may have helped him along the way a bit, but that man had taught the young boy that life was merely a play thing and a game, if you will. As long as you were in control and knew what the prize at the end of the game was there is nothing to fear. All you have to do is enjoy playing to it's fullest.

When the old man died Lonan was only ten years of age. The boy was already damaged beyond repair as he was tossed into an orphanage. There he changed even more. He became more cocky and egotistical. None of the other children wanted anything to do with him, neither did most of the adults. Lonan played people off of each other to his advantage. After all if life was a game like his grandfather had taught him then he was going to play it to win. He wasn't about to let anyone treat him like that man had ever again. Nothing was going to be given to you free in this world. If there was something he wanted he would have to take it. So this is what he did. The boy's stay at the orphanage lasted until he was thirteen. Tired of people trying to control him like he was their puppet instead of them being his he ran away. To start a new life and see where this game took him next.

For a while Lonan just travelled from place to place never staying long. He would do odd jobs, picking up skills along the way. His journey lead him to a man named Dimitri. Dimitri was a master swordsman and bounty hunter. The man's laidback lifestyle along with how he was able to basically get what he wanted with ease. The man had status/fame and some wealth. It took Lonan several times approaching Dimitri before the man finally agreed to teach him who to improve his fighting skills and to teach him the ways of the world as it were. Even though the pair spent years together Lonan never opened up to Dimitri about his past, but Dimitri didn't care. He did however get annoyed with the teen and his narcissistic ways and his little care for lives other than his own. Despite this the older man did all he could for the teen in hopes that maybe he would change. Of course he never did.

The pair parted ways after a disagreement. By this time Lonan was twenty and more than ready to leave the softy behind him. He had learned everything he needed to survive and to get what he desired. Even though they split on not so good terms Dimitri gave Aisland to him as a farewell. This pleased the man as Aisland was his favorite of the two horses the men had bought together a few years back. He spent the next year traveling on his own as a solo bounty hunter. Most people laughed at him when he told them he was a bounty hunter. They just couldn't imagine this narcissistic, lazy, good for nothing man as a bounty hunter. Things were rough at first, but that didn't bother him one bit.

One day while he was travel through the forest using a short cut to get to the next village he ended up falling off his horse. Well he thought it was a short cut, but really he had just managed to get himself lost due to his stupidity. A man had offered to guide him to the next village safely for a fee. Lonan being the tightwad that he is didn't take the man's offer and ventured out on his own. Anyway Aisland threw him off due to a bear startling him. The stallion took off running, leaving Lonan on the ground to deal with the beast. The bear roared at him as he pulled out he reached for his swords. What happened next seemed like it was in slow motion. A woman came out of no where and easily defeated the beast that was twice her size.

He had to have her he thought to himself. With her as my partner I can easily gain wealth and fame. That is what he thought in that moment. Raising to his feet he dusted himself off. As the woman cleaned her blade he spoke up complimenting her on her skill as well as her strength. Lonan's words were velvety and smooth. She didn't take much convincing to become his partner, which pleased him.

A couple of years passed and the two grew closer. They developed a friends with benefits type relationship which was fine with him. As long as Eririn was happy and it kept her by his side then he would play the role of her lover even if he didn't feel the same. It be able to use her to keep him from having to soil his hands suited him. So far she was the best pawn he had found to use in this game of life that he played.

All together the pair have been partners for five years now. Eririn has become dependent on him and in some ways he on her. With the news of the princess' disappearance and there being a handsome reward for her return or for her death Lonan decided it was time to go on a new venture for cash. Just like usually he would align himself with the highest bidder. To him it doesn't matter if the job is to bring the princess back alive or dead. All that matters is the cash and what fame this will bring him. He cares not if it the results of his job will bring about the union or destruction of the two kingdoms.
