Though he knows that of all things his own sadism may be his greatest weakness, he keeps his desires tightly bound, but well sated when possible.<br/><strong>Dislikes:</strong>Gerrard dislikes anything to be too easy because anything too easy must be a trap, challenge is best.<br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Gerrard seeks pleasure in the finer things, seeking art and beauty in the canvas of flesh. He knows that art must have conflict and it must have peace to thrive. He knows that an inevitable war between Aserit and Theiri is ruinous to both. He is an accomplished martial artist, though he keeps this hidden from most. In his experiences he has found that whether moral or immoral choices always cost, that as a ruler to be of any kind, in any position of power, the balance of choice favors either those who rise above all that around them, or those who use that around them to attain their goals. The best choices are non-violent, but violence has it's purpose, however distasteful. In the end there is no right, there is no wrong, only effective.<br/><strong>Habits:</strong>He maintains his gaze upon any he meets, squaring off against the target of his gaze. His focus is oftentimes unsettling. Gerrard's eyes will wander amongst any female before him. Gerrard seeks to find out any information that can be used whether from allies or foes, neither makes a difference to him, for any foe may become a friend, and any friend the most dangerous of enemies.<br/><strong>Skills:</strong>extensive unarmed martial arts training with dance like forms, some limited background amongst harder forms, for all art has soft surfaces and hard edges. He has extensively studied history to satisfy his drive to not allow the kingdom he knows that he will one day rule to fall as but a sidenote in the annals of history. He has made a study of the resources of the countries surrounding Theiri, looking to find any leverage he may apply to ease things into a more fortuitous structure.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong>Gerrard seeks pleasure in the finer things, seeking art and beauty in the canvas of flesh. As an hair to Theiri he has been exposed to many experiences that other nations might find vile in the name of seeking pleasures. He has found deep desires on the weary flesh after great exertion whether from sexual relations or from the dance like martial arts with which he has trained all of his life. Only passing as just a swordsman he shines when melding the blade with the martial arts he has grown up with. In his youth he would sneak out to see what the royal family may not see from the airy heights of the palace. During his pursuits he found darker pleasures than what might have been available to nobles at least those available through open doors. He found much of these to his liking, he avoids the use of any drugs that might alter his perceptions, for he has seen the depths to which those addictions lead in the rotting desperate eyes in the poorest of hovels. Watching the brawls in the dark taverns he knows that there is no such thing as fair, only odds and manipulation, and from the courts that few but the most brutish of dangers will advertise themselves without keeping further weapons hidden away for much later. He knows that art must have conflict and it must have peace to thrive and build up from the stresses of conflict. He knows that an inevitable war between Aserit and Theiri is ruinous to both. He is an accomplished martial artist, though he keeps this hidden from most. In his experiences he has found that whether moral or immoral choices always cost, that as a ruler to be of any kind, in any position of power, the balance of choice favors either those who rise above all that around them, or those who use that around them to attain their goals. The best choices are non-violent, but violence has it's purpose, however distasteful. In the end there is no right, there is no wrong, only effective.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Stats</strong></span></span><br/><strong>Sword fighting:</strong>1/10<br/><strong>Archery:</strong>0/10<br/><strong>Heavy Weapons:</strong>0/10<br/><strong>Exotic Weapons:</strong>11/10<br/><strong>Dagger/ Knife:</strong>/10<br/><strong>Strength:</strong>6/10<br/><strong>Endurance:</strong>7/10<br/><strong>Speed:</strong>10/10<br/><strong>Acrobatics:</strong>7 /10<br/><strong>Stealth:</strong>4/10<br/><strong>Grace:</strong>10/10<br/><strong>Horsemanship:</strong>0 /10<br/>
