Name: Cato Domitius
Class: Soldier --> Paladin
Hair Color: Red
Eye Color: Green
Age: 28
Appearance: 
As the above image suggests, Cato is adorned by red hair, a protruding chin, and armor colored to a green-and-silver hue. His stocky, muscular build aids him well in battle, as well as his brawny arms and legs,which can generate a lot of power when used effectively.
Clothes: Refer to the above image. Excluding his armor, Cato generally wears a lightweight tan tunic underneath his setup, and utilizes plain leather boots for footwear purposes when not in combat.
Personality: Cato is a very practical fellow. He abides by his own morality, and possesses a high sense of honor and ambition. He iswell-spoken, albeit soft-spoken. Making friends is a difficult task for him,although anyone who becomes close to him would know that he trusts them as ifhis life truly depended on it. He possesses a keen knowledge of warfare,although he is quick to underestimate. Nevertheless, his aptitude for duty is immense.
Born in: Ilia
Story: Cato was born to an expansive family in a small Ilian village as the fourth born out of seven children (six siblings, from his pointof view). While the Domitius family name carried no weight in Sacae (the entirefamily was composed of commoners, although his father, a retired soldier, was an excellent blacksmith), they managed to prosper adequately enough to put food on the table.
As early as the apex of his childhood, Cato’s interests and ambitions differed from those of his other siblings. While the latter were more enticed with continuing the family’s farming and smithing enterprises, Cato’s eagerness to explore Elibe began to get the best of him. However, his father frowned upon this prospect, and cited his own experience as a soldier as an arduous and vexing one. According to him, war bore no glory.
While Cato agreed, he never truly understood this reasoning, and nor did he want to at the time. War seemed like a natural progression of things – after all, disputes had been settled by warfare for centuries. It seemed like an effective, yet oddly fair practice. When he relayed this intrigue with his family, they seemed to mistake his admiration for complacency.
It was a simple affair, really; the mechanics of warfare had long since interested him. Perhaps his most tumultuous experience (prior to enlisting as a recruit) occurred when Cato, then sixteen, declared to hisfamily that a mundane life in a small village didn’t suit him. Arrows in theform of personal invective were exchanged accordingly, and Cato stormed awayfrom the wake of his disdained family in a huff.
After receiving a letter of apology from his family about amonth later (thanks to a passing courier), Cato pressed onward, training as a recruit and eventually becoming a full-fledged soldier. Currently, he proudly serves, although he also admits that his father may in fact have been correct after all.
