Overview
Adonis Thedas
Appearance
On most accounts, Adonis is considered attractive. His build is generous, something he accrued over his time spent in the Anirian Guard. While his muscles may not be as rippling as those of the Nords, they are extremely refined and show through the flesh. He has a scar that runs from his left pectoral down to his abdomen, a memento from his former "Brothers in Arms". Curls spring forth from atop Adonis's head, though only two come to rest upon his forehead.
Adonis dresses for the day he has ahead of him. When he is busy being a merchant, he is usually dressed in fine linen garb. The apparel is used to exude the wealth he has garnered in order to bring in more and finer clientele. Jewelry is also sported on his person, in the fashion of pendants hung from his neck and rings hugging his long fingers. He does however keep his family heirloom, the Will of Thedas, fashioned around his hip.
When his services are requested for more than just merchant work however, Adonis is more sensible of his appearance. He usually wears a white cloth shirt underneath a small, metal breastplate connected to a leather abdomen belt that is fashioned by a leather harness. During colder temperatures, he wears a thick, leather jacket over this. His pants are also made of a thick leather, protected behind metal greaves and tucked into black boots. The Will of Thedas is instead fashioned around his shoulder, for quicker responses.

Skills and Abilities
Striker- Through years of training and first-hand experience, Adonis has become proficient in hand-to-hand combat.
Duelist- While Adonis can settle down small crowds of thugs and the like with his blade, he excels in one-on-one swordplay. He does, however, struggle against well experienced spear users since his blade can only go so far.
The Gift of Gab- You can't become a wealthy merchant off looks alone. Adonis can talk his way out (or in if needed) of almost any situation.
The Will of Thedas- The Will of Thedas is a sword that has been passed down to the son of a Thedas for generations. There's many rumors on how the sword came to be, but not even the Thedas family knew of its exact origin. Upon first appearance, it looks like any other sword might, with its blue hilt and two and a half foot (76.2cm) blade. Only a Thedas who has taken the Sworn Oath and undergone the Rite of Lineage can truly use the sword as it was intended. Once a proper wielder of sword touches the blade and says the world "Accal", the metal shines a bright, blue color and vibrates to a hum, almost as if it's waking from a slumber. The cost of using the weapon as such is high, however.

Personality
Growing up in a household of great stature in Vel Anir, Adonis learned that there was more than just a fighting nature to politics, even for his warmongering home. There was a way of dealing with the poor so they wouldn't rebel just as there was a way of dealing with the wealthy so they didn't attack needlessly. Sure a rebellion or revolution could be crushed with brute force, but that won't kill the desire to do so again. Learning this, Adonis became a person who was known to rally men and women under his stead, instead of berating and belittling. He seems to exude an aura that attracts people around him, it's part of the reason he's a successful merchant. He welcomes new friends/clientele, but keeps most at a distance for particular reasons.
As kind as he may be, Adonis still has the mercilessness of an Anirian Guard. Everyone has their tipping point and that includes him. Once beleaguered by anger, he becomes very difficult to "settle". Most of his morals go out the window, along with his sense of reasoning.
