Description: Engelbert is an elderly man but has not yet acquired the stooped walk of the infirm. With a mane of unruly red hair he can seem difficult to approach and quite intimidating to more timid individuals. This effect is enhanced by the white of his beard. The stark contrast of colour has never concerned Engelbert but it does seem to attract stares from youngsters. Like many of the elderly, Engelbert’s eyebrows are of the large bushy sort. They also seem to wriggle of their own accord when he gets excited and rushes his words. His eyes are merely a brown hazel that is greener in colour near the pupils.
His clothing varies depending on his situation. Whilst traveling, sturdier rough clothing is worn but more colourful items are used in towns and cities.

Anything you'd like to add: He has knowledge of herbs and treating wounds gained from his long life traveling amongst feuding or warring people.

She can stop people dying by crying, she also learnt how to speak all languages when she was a toddler. Razgriz wants her dead because she’s a better mage than him.
She has a sword that was passed down to her by the God of swordfighting, it’s a super ornate katana that has magical powers and can cut through anything. She has loads of knives and throwing stars hidden in her clothes. She has a magical ring that deflects magic away from her.

If your character is even REMOTELY like this. I will punch you through the internet, I swear, I will hate you to death.

In fact, if your character resembles this one even the minutest amount I will kill myself. And when my tainted spirit finds its destination, I will topple the master of that dark place. From my black throne, I will lash together a machine of bone and blood, and fueled by my hatred for you this fear engine will bore a hole between this world and that one.
When it begins, you will hear the sound of children screaming - as though from a great distance. A smoking orb of nothing will grow above your bed, and from it will emerge a thousand starving crows. As I slip through the widening maw in my new form, you will catch only a glimpse of my radiance before you are incinerated. Then, as tears of bubbling pitch stream down my face, my dark work will begin. I will open one of my six mouths, and I will sing the song that ends the Earth.


[[Engelbert: You idiot. You forgot to add that she's so light she can ride the pegasi, despite the fact we've said adults can't. Her steed is the Pegasi Queen. The most intelligent and beautiful of the pegasi because that's the only steed worthy of being ridden by her. Afterall, why ride a normal horse if she can fly.]]
