Probably the best adventurer I've made yet. I'll just run down a quick description...
Kelvas The Slayer of Legends
This adventurer has seen hundreds of battles. He's slain dragons, razed goblin fortresses, slain zombie mammoths in the frozen arctic, battled the giant scorpians of the blazing deserts... He's been everywhere and seen everything. This has left him with a strange isolationist aura about him... Something about him just resonates with brooding power... This dark aura is why he's had to do all of these things alone. His pale skin and lips give him an almost vampiric look. He doesn't claim fame for his actions. He feels that he no longer has control of himself. He believes that he is a pawn in some god's great game... His dark blue eyes have seen much, but his young physique and youthful looks would not betray his age of fifty years. His long, flowing hair is as dark as night... His eyes of the deep blue-violet of sunset... He no longer smiles, nor bears his teeth at friend or foe, but wears an unchanging longing look... As if he wished that things could have turned out differently, but has resigned to his fate... His face bears nigh a wrinkle nor a scratch. His build is immense. He is a mountain of muscle and metal. His cloak is made of polar bear skin, pulled up around his shoulders. There is a dark iron chain connector running from one shoulder to the other keeping the cloak on.
He wears three bronze chain mail shirts under his breastplate. This gives his body a very stable and heavy look to it, but has proved to make him more or less invincible. His bronze breastplate is stained with the blood of his enemies. In the middle of it is a picture of a dragon's skull set in ebony. There are splashes of blood on his armor. It is scratched and worn from years of use.
His helmet is bronze with a crown of black glass spikes. The nose guard stops just below his nose, but above his upper lip. His deep eyes peer out from behind this death mask... There is a splash of blood across his helmet, some on his cheek. There is a large gouge out of the metal above his left eye.
His two handed bronze sword rests in his right hand, as if it had always done so. There are black flames of ebony set into the blade, running from the tip to the hilt. The whole sword is splashed with dried blood and scrapes. The blade has a few nicks in it. It's about as long as he is tall, about two centimeters thick, and about seven centimeters from edge to edge.
His large bronze shield hangs loosely in his left hand. It is ringed around the edges with black glass spikes and there are spikes set into the face of the shield. On the shield is an ornate picture of a demon's face set in ebony. Some of the spikes have tatters of blood soaked cloth, and there are splashes of dried blood on the face of the shield. When raised, the shield adequately covers his upper chest to his upper thigh.
His right gauntlet is covered in dried blood . There's fur coming out of the back of it, hinting to his padded fur gloves underneath.
His left gauntlet is untouched. There is fur coming out of the back.
His bronze plate greaves are splashed with dried blood. There is a large black loin cloth that runs between his legs, down to his knees. This is in tatters and stained with blood.
His bronze high boots are splashed with dried blood and dented. There's a little mud on the soles.
I sort of want the portrait to be a head to toe shot of him facing the viewer. He'd be in a combat stance with his shield raised about half way and his sword in a ready position. Maybe have the flat side of the sword face the viewer. His head tilted slightly forward to make it seem as though his eyes are shining out from behind the darkness of his helmet. The shield raised to be horizontal with his body, so the viewer can see it in detail.
Hope I gave you enough to work with!
