Fears:

• Death before proving himself

• Spiders

• Burning

Positive Traits:

• Agile (+3): You are particularly flexible and poised.
  Explanation: You can dodge an attack once every three posts regardless of difficulty.

• Diehard (+2): You can remain conscious after attacks that would fell others.
  Explanation: Allows for 1 A Rank spell to be shrugged off. Damage is still applied, but no pain is shown. Limit of once per battle.

• Swift (+3): You are fleet of foot. When running, you move three times your normal speed.
  Explanation: You have a passive C Rank speed buff at all times.

Negative Traits:

• Compulsive Honesty (-2): You cannot tell a lie, nor can you behave in a deceitful fashion. You tend to be blunt rather than tactful, even if it means insulting someone who you and your companions are trying to impress.
  Explanation: You can't lie and you will tell the truth when someone asks you something instead of lying. So if your team is impressing an ogre and the ogre asks if you guys are truly from the guild you guys claimed you were and lied about it, you will screw it up and say the truth.

• Curiosity (-1): You're a naturally curious person and you find mysteries of any sort irresistible. In most circumstances, alas, your curiosity overrides your common sense. This forces you to investigate something unusual, even if it looks like it might be dangerous.
  Explanation: You will walk deeper into the forest you have never been before. You won't turn around from the castle that you have never seen. This can result into getting you into very dangerous situations.

• Daredevil (-2): You only really feel alive when you're staring death in the face. Your character is addicted to the thrill of death-defying stunts, pushing themselves to the limit at every available opportunity.
  Explanation: You can't refuse the opportunity of engaging into combat with anyone or anything that is stronger than you. You also always volunteer and perform tasks that have a risk attached to them when you are in a group.

• Greedy (-1): Money makes your eyes light up with joy. The more, the merrier, as long as it spends. Once in a while, whenever you're divvying up shares of the loot, being offered a hefty bribe, or catching wind of some fabulous treasure, the flaw can to convince you to grab for as much money as possible.
  Explanation: You may act differently when money comes into play.

• Hedonistic (-1): You love a good time. You party too much, drink too much, and eat too much. You have trouble resisting an invitation to join someone in a drink and sometimes shirk your duty if offered a more enjoyable time elsewhere. Whenever a good time is presented you let your guard down. You're also not capable to resist seduction of any sort. It's just not in your nature to resist such opportunities.
  Explanation: You always give in when a good time is offered such as drinks, women and other things. Even in the midst of a dangerous raid through a castle you decide to stay in the room that has wine and beautiful girls in them even though they could be monsters.

• Indecisive (-1): You have been known to hesitate when faced with difficult choices or split-second decisions. If forced to choose between letting a villain escape and rescuing a loved one from being lowered into a snake pit, you're likely to agonize over the situation until something--perhaps a cry for help from your sweetheart--forces your hand.
  Explanation: You take too much time when making decisions. You can never instantly make a decision when it is presented to you.

IV. MAGIC

Magic: Woodland Blessing
Caster or Holder: Caster
Description: Woodland Blessing is a style of magic with similar characteristics to wood magic. Though wood magic in general is a more defense type of magic, this magic relies more upon causing medium to long range damage by using roots and a bit other materials from nature. It goes a bit above being to manipulate a few plant types, such as vines but not going to deeply into that. When reached to a high enough level the user is capable of manifesting trees which can then cause a change of land for the users advantage if used correctly. It is more heavily used upon the environment to use underground advantages to use wood to further strength the users options. Focus is an important necessity while using this magic, as needing to channel their magic into the ground to get the source to widely use further boost their strength. Woodland Blessing isn't a relatively hard magic to learn though is quite an ancient magic in which the book is needed.
Strengths: Wood in general is quite a blunt element and can cause quite the bit of internal damage, while adding in a more pointed variety can cause piercing damage as well. Giving the use of roots that can be manipulated from the ground give a more mid and long range offense giving it an advantage over short ranged opponents, while also having short range capabilities. Not only has it's offensive purposes but quite the variety of defensive properties as well. At a higher level of ability the user could enhance the properties of the trees around them growing in size and shape, while also eventually being able to forge trees to further advance the users options in battle, though it is not a task easily done.
Weaknesses: The main weakness to wood is fire of course considering easily being able to burn most of the magic used. It is more suited for an area with trees, having less support from the environment makes it more difficult to use. Needing a calmer mind to use it's abilities to the fullest, as a simple mistake can cause the user unknowingly use the wrong source hence not being able to use it correctly. The user is able to project wood from their body, though it isn't nearly as the more advanced environmental capabilities.

V. HISTORY

History: Koza was born on March 2nd, in the outskirts of Balsam. Both his mother and father were both caring and loving and his childhood was fairly well. Though with them living quite far from most civilization lead to slight loneliness with no one to play with. This all changed when he turned to the age of eight. He was out one day and returned home to a roaring inferno surrounding his home. He not sure what to do ran looking for people but to no avail as he lost himself in a forest. The moon the only source of light to be seen throughout the darkened area. Crying and walking still trying to find out where he should go or what even to think at this point at his age. Tiredness grew quickly in the boy so far to the point where he collapsed from his position and lay asleep.

He awoke the next morning in shock hearing a terrifying growl. He slowly moved his head in fear to see a beast staring at him with hunger written in its menacing eyes. The beasts head grew closer to Koza as he just laid there nervously shaking in fear. It opened its mouth and let out another roar before a fast motion cocked from it's head towards Koza. He closed his eyes and yelled for help.

After he hadn't been eaten yet he slowly opened his eyes to see the beast hung from a tree by a sort of random root from the ground. An elderly woman slowly made her way towards him. He questioned the lady what happened to the beast and who she was. She punched his head a bit calling him stupid for being in this forest alone, she answered his question saying her name was, Setsuno. She was a mage that used a kind of wood magic and lived in the forest. Koza cried to her saying he had no where else to and if she could train him to get stronger. She declined his offer but he wouldn't take no for an answer, he followed her to her home inside of a tree and continued to beg and pleased for days. She giving him food every once in a while out of kindness and interest for his dedication. She eventually caved in and let him inside to teach him how to use her magic. Koza was determined to learn and do whatever it took.

His training was difficult as she wasn't a great teacher though after years of training and working he finally grew to successfully use wood magic at a great level. But age began to weaken Setsuno to the point where she was near death. She explained that the wood magic he knew now was only the stepping stone to using her full magic, she then handed him a decrepit sort of book titled "Woodland Blessing." It held the secrets to further advancing from the magic he learned to new heights. She grew a proud smile but gave him a hit on the head for old times sake. She also told Koza of a certain place in Balsam known as a guild for wizards and that was also another stepping stone to becoming the great mage she knew he could be.

He left her house a few days later, Setsuno now resting in her grave. He had read the book and it was clear to him how to master, Woodland Blessing. After getting a hand of the new grade of magic he headed to the guild, Sabertooth where he took the next step as a mage. With all the other members and the will to get stronger for the guild made him know Setsuno was correct. This was now his home and he'll do his best to make all of them proud.
