Ericnox Lightsoul
Appearance
Ericnox is not a very imposing man when it comes to build, height, or even the way he is dressed. Short, well kept hair, and a seeming never fully gone 5 o'clock shadow, Eric is rather normal looking to most humans. His armor, though with some embellishments, tends to be more aimed for function over form. Leather armor, minor bits of plate, and overall focusing on mobility instead of simple turtle might.
The only item that really stands out is the blade that he uses. Ericnox uses something that would be considered a classical executioner's blade, complete with the inscription "When I raise this sword, so I wish that this poor sinner shall be granted eternal life."

Skills and Abilities
Perks:
Swordsmanship – Eric is a skilled swordsman, while not on the same level as the heroes of ancients, Eric is still a solid fighter and swordsman.
Physical Strength – While not on the level of say, an Orc, Eric has been a warrior and soldier most of his life, so he is stronger than a normal person, despite his overall lean build.
Cooking – While not the greatest skill in the world, Eric is used to having to cook meals, and has learned how to improvise and make small, flavorful meals with limited supplies.
Ambidexterity – Ericnox is naturally ambidextrous, though he doesn't use this in combat very often, tends to be left hand dominate.
Bilingual – Common/Trade Speak and Elven
Magical Abilities - Ericnox is able to tap into some divine magical abilities. This mostly focuses on himself (Blessings: Physical enhancement) or against his foe (Smite style effect) and still follows all the usual prayer based requirements, and drains physical stamina from him. As most of these abilities are focused for combat, he can use them several times, and instead must plan things out.
Flaws:
Paranoid – Eric, due to his history and personality, is a naturally paranoid person, and tends to keep himself on higher alert. It tends to leave him a bit high strung and overly stressed.
Bad Shoulder – Despite having it healed, it was done quickly, and has never fully recovered, as such, Ericnox has a bad right shoulder. It causes him pain when used for prolonged periods of time.
Weakened Eye Sight – Ericnox has weaker than normal eye sight for a man his age. He has difficulty seeing longer distances (Near Sighted) and this has impaired his use of ranged weapons.

Personality
Ericnox is a calm man, at least on the outside. While he does suffer from a massive case of paranoia, he is still able to form bonds, it takes a bit of doing. Overall however, when he feels comfortable and safe, or at least safe enough, he is a kind man, caring and respectful, and one who loves a good laugh, all forms of humor (dad jokes are his favorite, oddly enough).
When in battle, it seems to be a different game for him. He almost has a tunnel vision like effect, which is how his shoulder was injured, and he focuses on the person he is battling to the almost full exclusion of all else. There is no witty banter most of the time, not light teasing, nothing... It is just Ericnox and (in his eyes) a soon to be dead person. He has a strong sense of duty, honor, and a moral code, and will do everything to make sure he is able to uphold it. This, however, doesn't mean he is stupid. His moral code doesn't mean he will spare every person he bests in battle. He will match lethal force with lethal force as well. His sense of honor is more that of a man who understands the true meaning of it, and not what most would consider honor, and his duty is to the ones who loves and calls his own family... And may the gods

Biography & Lore
Ericnox is, for all intents and purposes, what would be considered a classical Paladin. Raised as a farmers's son until the age of 12, he was sent off to join one of the many training camps for soldiers. While still young, he was one of the few who showed a fair bit of promise and talent. His ability to use a blade and shield in either hand, or even to use a sword with both hands, switching the order of them to change things like angles, striking power, and stance, was something that helped push him forwards.
While within this training, he started to show a strong side to him, his ability to adhere to an ideal. Upon completion of his training, Ericnox was sent into the world with his unit. During this time, he was still young, only his teens, but sent on a small scouting missions, and worked to help remove the 'water behind the ears' as it was. During this time, he met a female elf in battle, and despite her years of training over him, he still proved every bit her equal.
It has been many years since that point, and he tends to no longer speak about his time in the military, his life in his twenties, and what he has been doing, but it is clear he has not remained idle. His original weapons and armor have long since been improved beyond the norm, and he carries himself with an air of confidence and presence, despite being paranoid around magic user.
He has recently arrived in Fal'Addas with an Elven woman and many others at his side. His reasons are his own for this.
