Description

Name: Andrew "Hopper" Trapdoore

Occupation: Sarun Guard, fresh Recruit, also helps on the side as a tour guide.

Age: 17 1/2 years old

Height: 5'6'' (without the boots)

Bio: a Fresh recruit under the command of Radar, Hopper has joined to give his support and aid to the royal guard, unwittingly (as it seems) becoming the captain of a dummy team when the tournament had been found short of the invited that came. according to him, Hopper came from a farm near the outskirts of the town, having worked there as help before volunteering as a guardsman. however, there appears to be a lot more to him than it seems.

Personality: in general, Hopper appears to be a pretty casual, sociable guy, if not a little bit of a jokester. Due to his seemingly playful nature, most might assume that he doesn't take his job seriously...they would be wrong, as when he is on duty, he's plenty serious and a guy who follows through on orders and his claims. In a casual combat situation, like in a tournament round, he's a fair mix of both--he'll joke around and engage in a little bit of conversation, even showboat a little or brag if he feels the need, but he's comfortable enough with his skills that he can back up any claims he does make about them.

Abilities: Hopper is well known for his skill with knives, but he is also a nimble, acrobatic kind of fighter. Striking fast and quickly is part of his usual strategy, and he'll usually try to hit for weak points that he's observed, or make a misdirection to make an opening for him to strike. He does keep one trick up his sleeve, though--some form of magic he controls, though he won't use it unless he really has to, as it seems to have a way of making things appear in ways that they shouldn't, or not supposed to, and part of him considers it an unfair advantage to an opponent he's having a fair fight with.

Places most likely to find: Castle Grounds (either on duty or training), the Library, around town (as he does help as a Tour Guide), The French Red (good luck finding that place to figure out why)

People most likely to be around: Dice, Radar, Alto and Aluino. occasionally around Lloyd and Johnny or their parents, but very rarely. a similar situation with the mailgirl, Amelia.

Extra info:

-his helmet comes with the same straps as all guardsmen's helmets do (I just was in no mood to draw them on). Hopper rarely takes the helmet off in public.
-He keeps two knives on his person at all times--one in the holster and another tucked and hidden in the side of his boot. the one he keeps in his boot is a gray, standard version of the one he keeps in his holster.
-while sociable and friendly, Hopper does keep a good deal of his activities to himself, although no one really knows why.
-he does not being in terribly cramped spaces that he can't get out of. he panics if in such a spot for too long.
-while he treats Radar with all due respect, he can't help but have fun with the grumpy werewolf at times. he does mean it all in well fun, never doing it to be mean.
-despite his odd color of hair and eyes, he's oddly popular with the girls in his age range. not that he indulges himself in the attention, but he's aware of this and will tease his 'fans' slightly if he spots them.
-while he can brag and showboat, he's relatively modest and humble about his skills and never really exaggerates them. more often than not, he'll snark about someone else's showboating/bragging if it gets to be tedious for him.
-sometimes, usually when he's off duty, he can be a bit...out there at times. he's a lot smarter than what he lets on or how he acts, though it can be hard to see with some of his actions and wording.
