Age: 30
Physical Description: Alden is 6 even, with shoulder length messy black hair, and several days worth of beard stubble. He is handsome, with a powerful jaw, mid set cheek bones, and a perpetual grin that makes him seem younger than he really is. His bright green eyes, constantly sparkle with barely contained mirth. He has the lithe well muscled body of a swordsmen, and he moves with considerable grace and dexterity.
If one where to take more thorough examination of Alden's eyes they may notice a further detail. Around the outside edge of his iris's there's an intricate series of minuscule grey runes.
Alden rarely removes his shirt, but should someone see him with it off, they would find his body to be covered in scar tissue. Starting from just below his neckline, there is very little space that does not sport some relic of a past injury. A particularly observant person may also note that among these scars, some are a bright scarlet. These scarlet scars form an intricate series of runes hiding among the others.
Those of a more magical bent may be able to decipher the runes in his eyes and on his skin. Identifying them as sigils more commonly found on magical items. The most obvious effect of the runes on his body, are increased speed, strength, and durability.
The runes on his eyes give him the ability to detect magical auras and residue, as well as allowing him to see through low level illusions and glamours. They also maintain his vision regardless of the current light level, and even if there is a sudden shift. His eyes are also capable of dropping into the infrared spectrum in complete darkness.
The rune work on his body enhances his natural strength, speed, endurance, durability, and reflexes to almost super human levels. The effects make him a formidable opponent for most magical creatures though only because they are supplemented by exceptional skill.
This means that all though he is almost super human in a straight contest of strength or speed he would most likely loose to most other magically enhanced humanoids such as vampires or were wolves.
Alden's runes also greatly increase his healing rate allowing him to recover from injuries that would normally take a few months for a person to recover from in a few short weeks. Not only do Alden's runes accelerate healing they also enhance it. A normal persons body will repair itself until it is functioning again then stop, thanks to the runes Alden's body will continues to fix itself until it is in near perfect condition. His healing abilities enhance his already prodigious stamina as it repairs muscle damage and lactic build up and it also increases longevity as he does not accumulate long term damage as most people do.
Finally his body runes provide protection from people attempts to find him magically. Detection spells will be obfuscated their readings on his location being off by about 20 meters. Long distance scrying and tracking spells are only able to narrow down his area to somewhere within a mile radius. It should be noted that these protections can be overcome by someone with sufficient power or ingenuity.
His runes cannot be removed unless they are cut off of his body using an appropriate ritual knife and magic. If the runes are disrupted in any other way they will simply grow back in a few weeks time.
The final thing that only someone versed in rune craft and enchanting would be able to tell is this: The process of these runes being carved into his bodies would have been unbelievably painful. A normal person would have been driven insane or to suicide if they had this happen to them. During the carving process un-directed magical energies would begin to take hold and tear apart your soul. The pain this would not cease until the rune pattern was completed. This means the pain caused would be on a spiritual and physical level of incredible magnitude.

Kauri falls back and Alden lets her catch her breath. A lot of trainers would press the attack at this point, claiming that: "In a real battle your enemy won't let you catch your breath!" Once Alden got into the habit of training marshals he came to view that as exceptionally stupid. Yes, a real enemy wouldn't give you a moment to catch your breath but a sparring match was already far removed from actual combat. A real opponent wouldn't use a wooden sword or bark instructions at you either.
If you wanted your student to get some "real battle experience" send them out to get into a few street brawls. Work them up to fighting against mercenaries. Don't just keep beating them while they are trying to absorb their lesson. So while she pants he just folds his arms and waits patiently for her to recover.
"You are getting better."
He grins as he gives her some genuine praise. She remembered most of what he told her and she'd fought hard. It showed that she was taking things seriously. That she was determined to improve.

She wears small amounts of armor, such as braces, breastplates, and greaves, but they're usually very small and are built more for movement than they are for protection.
She is skilled with a bow and sword, both of which she carries with her consistently. None of her weapons are terribly special, but they're sturdy and well made.

Kauri turned and looked at Alden with a tiny smile in return. "Do you think so? I mean, I feel like I'm thinking about it more but I still feel like I'm a long way off from... well, doing anything productive, really. Still, I'm glad to hear you see improvement."
She had been trying as hard as she could. Even at home, she had been seen sparring far past hours she should have been in bed. Despite this, she hadn't been late to Alden's sparring lessons even once. The determination in her eyes had not left, had not wavered, not once since they had begun training. It was evident she wasn't there to play around.

"I do think you've improved tremendously," Alden confirms with a nod. "You aren't wrong, you are still a long way from being truly skilled. However, I would say you are already at the level of your average soldier in terms of fighting prowess. Considering that you started at almost zero experience a few weeks ago that's not an inconsiderable achievement." Of course, most soldier's were trained in a group by a single drill sergeant rather than privately by a Swordmaster. There were advantages to both but ultimately the latter provided for far quicker advancement.
"You'll be ready to go get into a few fights soon enough."

"Quite a thought, that is. I'd like to think that I feel that confident, but I don't. I'm not accustomed to hurting other people. I've told you that, right? I was a, um, warden. For the herds. I was to watch them and make sure nothing culled them at night. Animals are pretty easy to scare off or get rid of, but people..." She trailed off, crossing her arms. "Well, I'm just not sure how I'll feel actually going up against them. The gem servants, they were different, somehow. Not people in the moments we were fighting them. Anyone who has any sense, though- what if I don't have the guts to hurt someone, you know? You've been different because you're my teacher."

"I've been different because you are under the impression you can't hurt me." Alden says with a wry chuckle. "Though that isn't true, accidents, luck, and skill can lead to you getting a strike home." Waving his hand he shrugs. "Even the best fighters can't be perfect all the time. But that isn't here or there." His eyes fix on her, his expression turning serious. "Your first fight will be a tavern brawl. Low chance of death, minimal chance of serious injury. I don't want you to become a killer but you need to get into a situation in which someone will hurt you, if you don't defend yourself."

"It would hardly lead to anything bad on your part," Kauri pointed out, crossing her arms. She smirked at him, though it vanished soon after she read his expression. She picked at the corner of her fingers for a moment, breaking eye contact with him. "I think I can do that. The not killing anyone part. That shouldn't be hard, right? Now I'm just not sure about the inciting violence so that I'm attacked part... I'm not exactly, you know, confrontational."

"I wouldn't worry too much about that." Alden says with an enigmatic grin. Oh, she was in trouble he was quite clearly plotting something. From there the lesson continued on as normal. More explanation going into how she could best use the environment to her advantage. Using a wall to limit avenues of attack. Using a dead end to corner quarry. How to find escape avenues and much more. When they are done he tells her to "Come dressed for a night out at the tavern." For her next lesson.

Kauri was suspicious. She had never seen the man show such an expression before, but it oozed with mischievousness. After departing from the streets, as she was getting ready, she made sure to wear something purely practical. Breeches and a blouse would do. She kept her sword on her belt, just in case. If this was just a tavern brawl, she doubted she would need it. A kick delivered by cloven hooves were dangerous enough. She wore gloves, the inside lined with white rabbit fur, the outside made of straps of leather.
When she was finished, she headed over to the tavern Alden had asked her to visit. She crossed her arms and looked around, getting her bearings before entering.

The tavern was a seedy little place near the outer wall. The sign out front proclaimed it, The Hare's Rest. An image of a hare with its head lain upon a bar a tankard next to it completing the image. The noise coming from inside was quite something. People were shouting, there was a great deal of banging, and every once in a while a woman's voice would call out in anger. She'd chosen well in her choice of dress. Her teacher was nowhere to be seen but he had told her to go inside so that's what she'd need to do next.

"Well, it's just about what I expected," said Kauri before walking in. She used to frequent bars quite a lot back in the day as a young, rowdy woman who didn't care about the consequences. These days, she was very different, but she still found some excitement stirring within her when she stepped inside. The noise, the smells, the energy, they washed over her in waves of nostalgia.

If one where to take more thorough examination of Alden's eyes they may notice a further detail. Around the outside edge of his iris's there's an intricate series of minuscule grey runes.
Alden rarely removes his shirt, but should someone see him with it off, they would find his body to be covered in scar tissue. Starting from just below his neckline, there is very little space that does not sport some relic of a past injury. A particularly observant person may also note that among these scars, some are a bright scarlet. These scarlet scars form an intricate series of runes hiding among the others.
Those of a more magical bent may be able to decipher the runes in his eyes and on his skin. Identifying them as sigils more commonly found on magical items. The most obvious effect of the runes on his body, are increased speed, strength, and durability.
The runes on his eyes give him the ability to detect magical auras and residue, as well as allowing him to see through low level illusions and glamours. They also maintain his vision regardless of the current light level, and even if there is a sudden shift. His eyes are also capable of dropping into the infrared spectrum in complete darkness.
The rune work on his body enhances his natural strength, speed, endurance, durability, and reflexes to almost super human levels. The effects make him a formidable opponent for most magical creatures though only because they are supplemented by exceptional skill.
This means that all though he is almost super human in a straight contest of strength or speed he would most likely loose to most other magically enhanced humanoids such as vampires or were wolves.
Alden's runes also greatly increase his healing rate allowing him to recover from injuries that would normally take a few months for a person to recover from in a few short weeks. Not only do Alden's runes accelerate healing they also enhance it. A normal persons body will repair itself until it is functioning again then stop, thanks to the runes Alden's body will continues to fix itself until it is in near perfect condition. His healing abilities enhance his already prodigious stamina as it repairs muscle damage and lactic build up and it also increases longevity as he does not accumulate long term damage as most people do.
Finally his body runes provide protection from people attempts to find him magically. Detection spells will be obfuscated their readings on his location being off by about 20 meters. Long distance scrying and tracking spells are only able to narrow down his area to somewhere within a mile radius. It should be noted that these protections can be overcome by someone with sufficient power or ingenuity.
His runes cannot be removed unless they are cut off of his body using an appropriate ritual knife and magic. If the runes are disrupted in any other way they will simply grow back in a few weeks time.
The final thing that only someone versed in rune craft and enchanting would be able to tell is this: The process of these runes being carved into his bodies would have been unbelievably painful. A normal person would have been driven insane or to suicide if they had this happen to them. During the carving process un-directed magical energies would begin to take hold and tear apart your soul. The pain this would not cease until the rune pattern was completed. This means the pain caused would be on a spiritual and physical level of incredible magnitude.

The interior is what she expected. Dimly lit, with dirt floors, the low tables were filled with rowdy men who worked general labor around the city. Also, a few that looked to do less reputable work outside the city. The serving girls were liberally using their serving trays to keep people from touching her and even though she was a rather distinctive woman, Kauri attracts no more attention than anyone else.
The way towards the bar or an empty seat would be tough, made more so when something catches between her legs. Kauri would be sent stumbling forward knocking into a serving woman who would then dump a tray of ale on the head of a large angry looking man. The fellow lets out a rather intimidating and impressive string of curses as he rises to his feet, his attention on the serving girl and murder in his eyes.

"Oh," said Kauri aloud as she witnessed the incident. I suppose Alden was right about not worrying about this part.
Swiftly regaining her balance, the hooved chimera stood up to face the rather irate man yelling at the server. She grabbed the back of the young woman's dress to draw her backward, putting Kauri in the middle of the two. "Calm down!" she growled, staring straight into the man's eyes. "If you're going to do anything stupid, though, get on with it. I don't have time to waste!"

The man's response is to whirl on Kauri, his hand coming up and swinging for her face in what would be a painful backhand. Of course, it is also terribly slow and sloppy compared to her trainer. His feet aren't set properly, his balance would be easy to destroy. Not only that but his wind up for the blow, compared to short sharp blows Alden had been teaching her to open with, made the attack rather telegraphed. Alden frequently told her that fight ending blows should come after you've gained an advantage by taking momentum and balance from your opponent. The short of it is, if Kauri was ready to fight as she should be, it would be easy for her to form a counter move that would take the man out.
"STAY OUT OF THIS YE BLUE...."

The barmaid was tossed to the side so that she would be out of the line of fire, allowing Kauri's worries to narrow down to the hulking drunk before her. As he wound up to attack, she took a smooth step back, hooves gliding over the floor. Once the swing came, she curled her fists, aiming a jab at the man's face.
"I beg your pardon?!" she scoffed.

"Bitch!"
The large man finishes as her fist collides with his face. He was big, drunk, and hadn't been expecting her to sway back or launch a counter attack so smoothly. He stumbles back a bit clutching his face. His nose wasn't broken but a thin stream of blood was leaking from it freely.
"I'll kill ya you blue whore!"
He bellows once he has his footing, rushing at her. His goal was to bull rush her, get her with a tackle, and carry her to the ground. Of course, such a move could be effective but usually only if you caught your opponent off guard. He'd taught her the proper way to respond to such a move, of which there were a few. From planting her feet and lowing her center of gravity below the charger. To snapping a knee into his face. To simply sidestepping, it all came down to how she wanted to handle it.

Kauri felt a bit of panic well up in her as the man charged, but it all seemed so slow. She followed her first instinct and swiftly moved out of the way, but deciding she was feeling a little cheeky, she hooked a chair over her hoof and kicked it into the man's path.
"Sorry, sorry. What part of me is blue? I've got absolutely no idea where you're getting that one from. I would consider getting your health checked if I were you."

The man hits the chair and goes crashing to the ground in a heap of swearing and pain. "YOU FUCKING CUNT!" He roars at her not even paying attention to her taunt. She did look a bit blue, her pale skin taking on the hue to the drunk at least in the dim light. Grabbing a tankard the man whips it at Kauri as hard as he can before grabbing a chair and charging.

"Blast!" cried Kauri when the tankard came flying at her. She was barely able to cross her arms to defend her face in time, though the tankard still hit her hard. She shook her arms and sucked air through her lips, trying to shake the pain, but she didn't have time. The brute charged at her, chair in hand.
If that hits me, I'll be beaten into gruel, she thought as she attempted to throw herself out of the way, bracing her shoulder for a roll. She did her best not to waste any time, and attempted to pick up a chair and slam it into the brute's back before he finished his charge.

If Alden saw her take that hit from the mug he'd have been disappointed. If she'd been paying attention she would have seen it coming and been able to dodge. After all, a tankard was a poor projectile, not balanced and ill-suited to throwing. However, her follow up of a shoulder roll into grabbing a chair and hitting her now off balance opponent was a solid rebuttal. The chair cracks solidly into the man's back and he goes down. If she followed Alden's lessons she would know that now is the point where she should deliver a follow-up blow to knock the man unconscious. If she failed to do so she would find his meaty fist lashing out to grab her ankle and pull her off balance.

Don't use your hooves, thought Kauri, You'll kill him.
Knowing she had to act fast regardless, the woman reached down, grabbed the man by his hair, and attempted to knock him out with all the strength she could muster in a punch. If successful, she'd find herself stumbling backward in a chair in sheer disbelief. "Sorry, ah. Am I still allowed to get a drink?"
