Haldo De'Mort






Personality

---

Haldo’s persona is a case study in psychological chaos. He doesn’t just come off as mentally unstable. He embraces his mental instability. It shows in the way he makes jokes and wise-cracks in every situation, even in the heat of battle. He demonstrates many traits of psychosis, hearing numerous voices in his head and manifesting irrational perceptions. Yet he is somehow able to function as a competent mercenary. This indicates a certain level of sanity that allows him to sufficiently process the world around him. However, it is impossible to determine the extent of such sanity due to his chaotic mind.

Some influence from his up bringing usually maintains a part of his mind and keeps it preserved, this side is mostly built up of the easy going ,protective and honest gentleman he was taught to be. This can be shown rather freaquently in his behaviour if one is able to look through his other outbursts or how bold he is.

Of course this is more or less a cover up for his genius,his level of logic or manner of processing information and reason is completely different from that of any other. He is able to plan out the deaths of people or see the winning team of a war before the battle even starts, He is highly analytical and can use even the slightest details to somehow manipulate or understand a person better. Had he not been mentally unstable he would have become quite an amazing strategist. Despite his problems he is quite friendly,to a certain point.


History

---

Haldo was born as the eldest of 6 with 3 of his younger siblings in their early teens,two are twins and are about 2 years younger and a second eldest sister who is behind him by one year. Naturally from as early as he could remember he has been protective of them and would let nothing touch his family, he was raised in a family of rangers,druids ,hunters and beast masters. All his younger siblings had already chosen a path along those four but Haldo didn't want to follow into the family business so to speak.

He was trained in the ways of his family at a young age and picked up a bow and arrow as his first weapon, but after a few years he suddenly vanished while out training before he could be taught all the skills of the family trade. His family assumed he was lost forever since they weren't able to find him meanwhile he left simply to try and descover what the rest of the humans had to offer instead of living only in the wilderness. While out on his first day he figured he should join the military. At the age of 16 , most wouldn't have been able to join but considering the fact that he could already hunt rather well not to mention His accuracy with weapons. Both got him accepted at a young age and from 16 to the age of 20 he was forced to live in a military base which was more than he signed up for.

Forced to train nearly everyday he had no interaction with humans as the military shaped and moulded him into what they saw as a proper fighter. He was the first soldier to live in the base and train nearly all the time not only physically but mentally. during such a training process his mind was slowly broken over the years due to isolation from people his age or from people who weren't his trainers and the constant pressure his body was under. When the coarse was finally finished he was finally allowed to join other soldiers , he did well in the first battle and the second but in the third he began to break down. It would seem he never got a chance to sit and think or in his case talk to all the voices that had developed to keep him company while in training. Haldo decided to leave the army , He prefered the silence that came with travelling alone.

As time went by Haldo became a thief since the civilised world wasn't what he imagined it would be and he had turned his back against nature. Eventually he not only stole for himself but for other people that would pay him and soon developed into a mercenary. He came back to the army as a mercenary who was sent to kill a few of the military's ranks while they slept (roughly four) appeaerntly though they were army men they still had business they hadn't sorted out.from there he was labled as a problem, At this point his weapon of choice was a pair of matching swords or daggers. He was hardly really seen since he killed them in their sleep and left but some people claimed to see him then described what they saw in detail.

He is currently wanted in two cities but most people often assume it was all a tale since that is how most describe what they have not seen themselves.
Roleplay Sample

We aren't an Assassin you know,there is a difference between that and a mercenary a voice spoke softly in Haldo's mind as he walked calmly through town. He didn't seem worried in the least since he was hardly ever worried The weather seemed to agree with him since it was a morning right after rain and the air seemed to carry a bit of water in it but in a way seemed cleaner than normal air. The voice spoke once more though he didn't pay much attention to it Are you that set on messing up the scene? He spoke back to it finally believing he was part of a play of sorts. Almost as if he had seen the movie before he silenced the voice with a Shhhh, this is my favorite part! he spoke at a reasonably loud volume since most could hear him as he suddenly took three quick steps up a wall,jumped towards the opposite wall with enough momentum to sustain two other quick steps then held on to a ledge and pulled himself upwards. a platoon of warriors came walking in through town instantly and it was as if he had been part of a play since he timed it perfectly and was already on the roof.

now, I don't want to spoil the scene for you but keep a close eye on the platoon. he spoke to the voice as if it were a person watching a play with him. He got into position almost naturally and fired of an arrow at one of his targets. The crowd began to panic and in that panic he was able to jump onto the horse of his first target and kill his next target with a dagger he found in his first target's pocket as the dead soldier sat lifeless on the horse. What are you waiting for, let's make an escape He spoke to the target that was on the horse with him. With no response Haldo gave a sigh and pushed him off Well might as well borrow this then seing as you prefer hanging out here May fortuna be with you, I don't know how they treat people who help people like me get away. he quickly took hold of the controls of the horse and began to make it galop away with a few soldiers on his tail. He was content as he had managed to get both his targets ,as he took in deep breaths of the air that still contained some rain in it.
