Ganelon Brama

Attributes

Physical Strength & Toughness
Ganelon possesses a respectable amount of strength. While not a brute among brutes, there aren't many who would win against him in an arm wrestling match. Recent events, as well as his earlier training, have only served to strengthen him further. In a battle of pure physical power, even hardened warriors might find themselves pressed facing Ganelon.

Dexterity & Agility
When not wearing his armor, Ganelon can be quite quick. He has good reaction speed, and can maneuver himself with some level of skill. While swifter than your untrained citizen, he falls into the average when it comes to fighting-men. As one would expect, wearing a suit of full-plate tends to slow one's movements. He is able to do short motions quickly in full armor, such as swing his sword and block with his shield. However chasing someone down, trying to climb is made extremely difficult in full gear.

Charisma & Presence
Ganelon was raised by merchants, and one doesn't get far as a merchant by being rude or foul mouthed. He was always a black sheep in that aspect however, and possesses roughly the same charismatic talent of the average citizen. He is able to be polite when he wants to, but more typically he just speaks his mind on matters.

Will Power & Spirit
There are limits to what Ganelon will, and will not do. He couldn't tell you what they were when asked, but for him there are several personal rules he keeps to himself, that he refuses to break. He's not particularly strong spirited on most matters, but neither is he weak willed. He has a respectable mental resilience, though it's not something he's trained or worked towards.


Skills

General Combat Prowess
Ganelon fights his best in his armor, with sword and shield in hand. He can prove more than a match for most unarmored opponents, and in certain circumstances can defend himself from multiple attackers with only some difficulty.

Unarmed
Ganelon uses his strength to his advantage when fighting with bare hands. He may have no technique to speak of, but he's been in more than one fist fight. He can hold his own in a tavern brawl, but against someone who has special training in unarmed fighting, he doesn't have much of a chance.

Swordsmanship
While Ganelon is able to defend himself while just using a sword, he'd much rather have a shield in his other hand. He able to parry to an extent, but his sword fighting lacks true finesse. An experienced sword duelist would be just beyond Ganelon's own ability.

Sword & Shield Combat
Ganelon likes to be able to stick something substantial between himself and a foe's attack. Deflecting strikes, and counter striking appropriately comes more easily when he has a shield in his off-hand. The power of his shield bash is significant with his full strength behind it. He can give most experienced melee warriors a run for their money when he has both a sword and shield.

Firearms
While he knows how to load and fire matchlock weapons, Ganelon has little training with them, and even less experience. Any shot he fires is liable to miss if not fired at something relatively close, and reloading a weapon would take him considerable time.

Riding
Ganelon is able to ride horseback well enough, having some experience with it. It was never something he really enjoyed, and he never picked up a real knack for it.

Mounted Combat
Fighting from horseback is not something Ganelon has ever tried, nor has he ever desired to. He prefers to fight with both feet on the ground, and leave the horseback fighting to the knights.

Magic Use
As of yet, Ganelon has yet to learn any spells. For now he is simply memorizing sigillum from a small book given to him by Alec.
