The Basics...
Name: Jacob Speelers
Age: 32
Gender: male
Race: Calormenian
Occupation: [Swordsman/Traveler/*mercenary]
The Look...
Clothing Style:
Jacobs no King or Duke, so his clothes are mostly simple tunics that he buys from the money he is sometimes paid by the foreign countries he is paid to fight for. Often though he likes to show off the muscles on his chest and is sometimes seen without a shirt on that makes people feel uncomfortable. Jacob may be gruff but that doesn't mean that he wouldn't put on something nice for a party or ball.
Overall Appearance:
Jacob almost has a wolf-like appearance to him with his curly brown hair and thick facial hair along with his dark eyes. He is about 6 foot, 7 inches tall and weighs about 216 pounds, often intimidating people with his height. He has a muscular body from the fights he has been in and is never afraid to show them off, much to the annoyance of some people who do not wish to see him with no shirt on. His wolf-like appearance sometimes even scares some people since some parts of his body are also unusually hairy.
Markings: a scar on his waist from a war

The Personality...
Personality:
A piece of advice to everyone: Jacob is not only wolf-like in appearance but as well as his personality being he often loses his temper and is usually gruff to most people he meets, thus making him severely anti-social. However, if people took the time to get to know Jacob, then he would be much more open than usual and not be as gruff. The man is often depressed because people judge him by his crankiness before knowing the real him and thus he has very few friends because of it.
As I mentioned before, Jacob is very wolf-like in both appearance and personality. He does not like to stay in one place for very long and prefers to be free from having to be told what to do. Of course it doesn't mean he wears loincloths and lives with wolves in the woods, he is a very civilized man, yet deep down somewhere Jacob has a gentle side that many do not see.
Strengths:
His muscles that make him look bulky and intimidating to people.
His skills with a sword that have caused him to fight in many battles.
The good sense of smell he has, if someone is hiding in a bush then he would know soon enough.
The survival skills he possesses which have permitted him to live on his own for so long.
Weaknesses:
His gruff and cranky personality which scares people away.
His wolf-likeness, both in personality and appearance.
His short temper which makes him seem scary.
His anti-social ways and the way he doesn't want to stay int he same place for very long.
The depression he sometime suffers from.

The Past...
History:
Jacob was born in Calormen where his mother left when he was just three years old and his father was a blacksmith who taught him how to use a sword and at the age of 19 enlisted in the army. Until he was about 23 Jacob worked for the Calormen army, and then after he was constantly harassed by his superiors to keep fighting but Jacob did not want to fight for them any more as they were becoming vicious brutes. Soon Jacob took his money and left Calormen, becoming a vagabond.
Soon Jacobs name started to be known by some people as the "wolf-warrior" who never stayed with an army, but simply fought, took his money and then left to move to somewhere better. Jacob joined the Archenland army for about 2 years when he was 25, but then he seemed "bored" by them and yet again left, this time going to the Lone Islands for some time to take a break, but while there kept himself in shape. Now 32 years old, Jacob has left the islands to come out of "retirement", hoping to find another army who will pay him to fight.
