********

********
Appearance:Due to his line of work Zedus exhibits a wild, unkempt look with long flowing hair and natural facial hair. He is more often than not covered in all manner of dirt and marks from his day to day activities. He stands at an average 6ft and has a well built, muscular frame. His build allows him to retain a fairly high level of athleticism while still possessing the strength to knock a man off his feet. Zedus can be seen wearing a plethora of mostly leather pieces of armour offering him protection without sacrificing mobility. He is especially fond of vests and sleeveless chest pieces as he feels that sleeves restrict his ability to react. The Scout can often be seen out of the corner of one’s eye as a simple hooded figure nothing outstanding to catch the eye or draw attention.
Personality:Zedus is by nature a lone wolf. He much prefers the solitude of the wilderness then the hustle and bustle of the city. Because of this he has developed a number of social stigmas which, he himself considers to be no big downfall. For example he finds it very hard to accept help from others even when he knows damn well he needs it. Stubbornness is a weakness which has grown from isolation, because of his unwillingness to socialize or interact with others, he lacks the ability to do so and can sometimes come across as cold and uninviting and he works far better on his own then when accompanied by his fellow comrades often viewing them as a hindrance or a liability. Despite Zedus’ inability to work with others he holds oaths and promises in high regard, doing his best to keep his word when he rarely gives it. While he believes others should also do their best to keep their word, he rarely expects this of them and has come to the conclusion that the only person he can always relay on is himself.

Back Story:
Zedus was born to Mary and Kyle Arklight in the City State of Rhondael. His father was a member of the Rhondael Military and was away on duty for long periods of time protecting his loved ones. As a young boy Zedus grew to look up to his father, cherishing the time they would spend together however brief it may have been. His mother stayed home to care for her only child and did her best to educate him to be an upstanding member of Rhondael. Zedus was a shy, timid lad who enjoyed reading the handful of books their simple home offered.
It was no secret to Zedus that the Egian Empire ruled with an iron fist and throughout his teens he witnessed a handful of displays of the Empire’s methods of dealing with those that apposed their rule. People who he knew by name would suddenly go missing after uttering words of doubt or heresy never to be seen again. Feelings of anger, hatred and constriction began to dwell inside the Rondaelian’s heart, feelings which drive him to this very day, the same feelings which led him to the decision to join the Rebel Alliance in an attempt to fight for his parents and his home. His parents however, knowing full well the danger their only son was placing himself in, urged Zedus to reconsider and choose a more peaceful life. They were unable to sway Zedus who has now been an active scout for just over 10 years and is beginning to make a name for himself through his exploits and deeds for the rebellion.
