Ademar Acero
Appearance
Ademar in person and afar is a massive, hulking individual of a human. Large densities of muscle and fat encompass his person, honed by the training he has received at the Academy as a Dreadlord. His body is detailed by scars and healed, but not faded wounds he has received from combat whether in the training grounds or on an actual battle. His eyes blue as the Cortosi Sea and his hair brown like oak, although sometimes he is seen nearly bald or short which he prefers most of the time. A scar on his right eye from the dagger of an enemy to avoid being blind in his right eye. He’s exactly the man one would have multiple foes attacking him at once.
Skills and Abilities
When I was an apprentice I ate four dozen eggs: every morning to help me get large; and now that I'm a Dreadlord I eat five dozen eggs, so I'm roughly the size of a barge. Basically Ademar is larger than the average human height for males and his great height is complemented with great strength. Even without using his magic, Ademar is a warrior you do not want to close the distance with and engage in close quarter combat.
A warrior in heart and spirit: Ademar is not a natural born citizen of Vel Anir or any of her sister cities, but one thing that he shares in common with Vel Anir is their militaristic pride and strength. He knows nothing, but the art of war. A trait he has carried from the culture he was born in, the Siruk.
Close Quarter Specialist: If you're smaller than Ademar which a lot of people are, don't fancy the thought of engaging in close quarters with him. Blessed for his natural, physical traits he is a great wrestler and striker with some skills in complex grappling techniques. Along with this he is skilled in melee weapons, even some two handed weapons require little effort for him.
Enhanced Magic: Among his peers, Ademar is one of the few Dreadlords with a unique magic that is fairly uncommon to the Proctors when observing him in the Academy. He does not carry magic that can change the world around him like pyromancy, rather his magic changes his body. He can alter his body; his skin can be hardened as steel, muscles stretched out, and more incredible applications with this kind of magic. Of course, everything comes with a price. If, for example, his arms enhance to become like armor, then his legs or another area of his body becomes weak. Another way his magic can be used is by touching objects and absorbing its hardness and other properties. There is still a price, but it's less taxing.

Personality
Like most Dreadlords, Ademar became a product of his environment although much more arrogant and stubborn than his peers he graduated with. He truly believes in the philosophy that the strong will take what they can and want, and the weak will suffer what they must. Ademar does not value the idea of diplomacy, always being forward and using violence as an answer. He respects those who are stronger than him, and absolutely devalues those who are weak. He has little friends, the few that he has are within House Virak.
Rank and strength should correlate with each other in harmony. If a Dreadlord of the first rank is weak and has become a dull tool, then Ademar will undermine the Dreadlord and disregard their orders. Though if a Dreadlord that Ademar outranks is proven to be capable, then he will spare some respect of that warrior. He also speaks whatever is on his mind without a filter, a trait some appreciate with the other half frowning at.
Whenever on leave time, he mostly spends that time learning new strategies and honing more of his skills and body, though he does use little of his time enjoying a mug of ale and bedding harlots. There is some ounce of humanity in him, but it is completely overshadowed for his lust of war and conquest.
