CHARACTER

Outwardly self-confident and social, Herja finds it easy to approach strangers, and often does so with little hesitation. He cares about people deeply and will go out of his way to interfere with what he finds to be injustice or needless cruelty, but has likewise learned to pick his battles more carefully than he did in his youth. There is a more intense side of him that will every now and then put him in trouble for it, but for the most part Herja makes for a friendly and polite company.However, the consequences of his past actions still follow him like a restless spirit: though he has no memories of them himself, he used to be known as a frequent cause of bar fights and other physical altercations, often started over something insignificant and petty. There are establishments that still refuse to allow him access, and people who recognize Herja's face through the sheer anger the sight of him still evokes in them - and yet, when asked, none of them seem to remember his name or even where he came from.

PROFICIENCIES

   LITERACY      Herja speaks fluent Common and Hingan. He's able to read and write in the former (albeit a little slowly), but has difficulties when it comes to writing and reading Hingan text due to lack of practice.   HUNTING      Expert. Herja became a hunter's apprentice at sixteen summers, and has well over a decade of practical experience under his belt. He's been trained in tracking and trapping as part of his apprenticeship, and specializes in Coerthan wildlife and terrain.   HEALING      Intermediate. Herja has been studying and practicing Conjury on-and-off for several years. He's eligible to assisting full-time healers during emergency/crisis situations and prepared to treat most injuries associated with his line of work as a hunter, but is not considered a professional healer.   SWORDSMANSHIP      Intermediate (high end). Herja has been practising with a sword ever since he was a child, but began using a greatsword only at an adult age.   DARK ARTS      Intermediate (low end). Has received formal mentoring from another Dark Knight and is in a possession of a soul stone, but doesn't get many opportunities to use (and practice) externally perceived skills due to a desire to secrecy. He does, however, have a good control of his inner darkness and is at low risk of losing the control.

HEALTH CONCERNS

Suffered a traumatic head injury that has resulted in various permanent, neurophysiological problems. These include retrograde amnesia with damage to long-term memory, difficulty remembering new names and faces, involuntary muscle spasms, nerve pain, weakened sensitivity to externally caused physical pain, and headaches.Unrelated to the injury, Herja also appears to have problems related to concentration, impulse control and physical restlessness. He's mellowed a little with age, but spending more time with him will make these traits stand out.
