II. APPEARANCE

Height: 6'8
Weight: 240 lbs
Hair: Bald except for 1 curl of yellow hair
Eyes: Blue
General Appearance: Aldo is a remarkably large man who absolutely towers over most of the other members in his guild, making him very easy to spot in a crowd or at a distance, and has an exceptionally-sculpted and well-defined musculature honed from years of enthusiastic physical training. While his physique is usually barely hidden beneath his uniform, it seems he need only flex all his muscles at once to tear his garments to threads and leave him shirtless and bulging - a carriage he seems to generally prefer. His complexion is rather light in comparison to others, while he seems to have blond hair like the rest of his family, Aldo's head is completely bald save for a single lock of curly blond hair hanging from just above his brow. His eyebrows, too, are bare of hair and he sports a thick, blond handlebar mustache, which hides his mouth while accentuating his strong, clefted chin. Though these characteristics give Aldo a rather menacing visage, his eyes are blue and kind-looking with notably long eyelashes that appear to run in his family to some degree.

III. PERSONALITY

Personality: Despite his towering presence and intimidating physique, Aldo is decidedly softhearted and almost comically emotional, quickly bursting into tears of sorrow, compassion or joy in most situations. He is a particularly caring individual, who goes out of his way to offer aid to people in need and takes great pains to look after his friends, allies and subordinates - though his great propensity for giving hugs frequently does unintentional harm to those unfortunate enough to be embraced by his powerful biceps. With a rather boisterous demeanor, Aldo appears rather fond of loud, grandstanding speeches and dramatic comments, can be unwittingly pushy in his attempts to help others and is particularly protective of youths, demanding that they eat, sleep and exercise well in order to grow healthy and strong. Proud of his own physique and believing it to be a supreme work of beauty and art, Aldo frequently removes his shirt to show it off in both welcome and unwelcome attempts to buoy the spirits of those around him. He will take off his shirt on many occasions, whether it is to partake in labor, confront someone in battle, to cheer someone up, to show off and boast, or feeling extreme emotion of any kind.

Likes:

• Flexing
  

• Working out
  

• Long Speeches about muscles
  

• Helping the weak
  

Dislikes:

• Those who harm the innocent
  

• Lazy people
  

• Corrupt authority
  

• Those with no will to fight on
  

• People with larger muscles than Aldo - Aldo takes great pride in his figure, and will become very competitive if he feels he is being "outdone"
  

• Tight spaces - these prevent Aldo from both fighting to full potential and from completely expanding and showing off all his muscles
  

Motivations:

• To "one day hold together the world with the love of his muscles": because it follows all his themes
  

• To protect those who find the world unfair or depressing: Aldo finds that those who are treated unfairly are mostly those who cannot defend themselves
  

• To have the absolute perfect and unrivaled muscles: it has always been his life goal to perfect his body since he was young
  

Fears:

• Losing his Muscles
  

• Death as most people
  

• Watching innocents die
  

• Ghosts or Spirits - because of their ethereal form, Aldo fears that he cannot use his muscles to defend himself from ghosts with simple brute force
  

Positive Traits:

• Diehard (+2): You can remain conscious after attacks that would fell others.
  

• Fortitude (+3): You are tougher than normal. You can take more hits than the regular Joe.
  

• Enhanced Strength (+3): Your character is slightly stronger than other characters when it comes to physical strength.
  

• Daunting Presence (+2): You are skilled at inducing fear in your opponents.
  

Negative Traits:

• Cautious (-1): You are uneasy engaging in behavior that carries a chance of failure. You must spend twice as long performing any skill that requires an action. For example, deciphering a page of text would take 2 minutes for you instead of 1.
  

• Bravado (-2): You are rash in combat, refusing to show weakness by falling back from your enemies' blows. You either face it and stop it, or get hit in the progress. In addition, you cannot fight defensively.
  

• Vulnerable (-3): You are not very good at defending yourself and moving out of harm's way. In combat you take hits easily, in roleplay terms this means that you can only dodge one out of three attacks, regardless of how easy it was.
  

• Tongue-Tied (-1): This disadvantage comes up whenever you try to discuss anything of importance and relay pressing information and such. You have the tendency to incorrectly state facts, forget or mix up names, and generally say the wrong thing.
  

• Reckless (-1): You lack the emotion of fear. Unfortunately, it is often an important cue that keeps men from doing foolhardy things. Sure, you don't flinch at the sight of even the most hideous monster, but neither do you feel the need to run away when outclassed.
  

• Proud (-1): You don't like accepting help from others. If a gift or offer of aid smacks of charity or pity even the slightest bit, you grow indignant and refuse it.
  

• Righteous (-1): The end justifies the means. You are willing to perform morally repugnant actions in order to achieve noble goals. Unfortunately, this can alienate those people who might support your cause if you didn't use such heavy-handed methods.
  

IV. MAGIC

Magic: Strong Arm
Caster or Holder: Holder
Description: Aldo utilizes a style of combat magic that has apparently been passed down his family line for generations and mixes magical skill with physical prowess. With the aid of two metal gauntlets strapped to his fists, Aldo's punches create explosion upon impact from the kinetic force of the punch. These explosions vary in size depending on the moves smaller explosions for launching the projectiles and larger explosions for his normal melee moves.
Strengths: other than being able to create explosions upon impact Aldo's magic also allows him to create artillery by transforming raw stone or brickwork into projectiles which are then launched with the force of his punch and explode upon contact.
Weaknesses: This magic is very dangerous to those near or around Aldo and even to the user himself since the explosions cannot be controlled. So the user runs a high risk of damaging his body or those near him. The other restriction is to the size of objects he can cause to explode making it require more punches to tear away at the objects surface.

V. HISTORY

History: Aldos past is very uneventful since he was born in a rich family called the Salavatores. There line can be traced all the way through the ranks of rune knights as the leading generals. But unlike his father and grandfathers, Aldo strived to become something different a normal mage for a guild he heard about called Lamia Scale. But as with all his family he was horrid with caster type magic so he did something to counter balance that, he began to work out everyday enhancing his physical strength and stamina. As the years went by Aldo grew in size and strength even at the age of 19 he was of massive build bigger than most of his family and friends. He even continues his regimen everyday until he hit the age of 25 and began his travles around the world leaving his family behind.

Five more years went by as he traveled Aldo now the age of 30 found himself in a tiny village being attacked by some thieves who were fire type magic users. Upholding his sense of honor and helping the weak he decided to run into the village to stop the thieves. The men were to weak to handle Aldos muscles as he beat them to the point of running in terror from him. As they left a few of the villagers came to thank ALdo one in particular was a old man who noticed that he didnt use any magic or even had a guild tattoo. In response to that Aldo stated he had no ability to use caster magic, the old man thought it through and knew of the best way to truly thank Aldo. It turned out the old man was a blacksmith who could fashion any form of holder type weapon for people who couldn't use caster type magic. The old man crafted two metal fist covers befitting Aldos style of fighting. As Aldo left the old man gave him a warning of the strength of the magic and told him to continue to help the weak.

Another 5 years went by as Aldo wandered the lands mastering his fist like magic but rarely resorted to using it since its destructive properties. Now knowing he had the power to try and join a guild he sought out the guild Lamia Scale one that he dreamed to join as a little kid. As he entered the guild hall he saw its magnificence and all the people who seemed to be like family greet the large burly man. They allowed him to join and now he can finally help others with the strength of a newly found family.
