Just added extra details I mentioned during Role Play in game.
Name: Heath Andrew Thatchet Nickname: Hatchet, Heathy, Alias: Heath Knight, Andrew Knight, Sir Ulrich von Liechtenstein, Heath Ledger Affiliation: Xavier's School Gender: Male Age: 19, born in the medieval times, 14th-century Europe Birthday: June 14th Hair: Blonde Eyes: Brown Mother: Christina Thatchet, deceased. Father: John Thatchet, deceased.
Horse: Kattalin - Brown female with white socks and muzzle.
Skills:
Since Heath is from a time before mutants, he doesn't have any mutant abilities, but he does have fighting skills, he can fist fight, sword fight, joust, ride horses and a variety of other combating and Knightly skills, he is also rather charming.
Description:
A tall youth, though just under six feet, Heath carries himself with a grace of presence that is considerate to the woman especially around him, making sure to move swiftly out of their path if he were in the way. Swiftly read yto open doors and pull out seats, there's an air to the youths step that comes from years of sword play and watchful eye.
Strong of body, toned and fit, Heath's put on a healthy amount of weight since he's arrival at the school, while not entirely starved, Heath was hardly well fed either before arriving to this time. Colour has come to his skin, a healthy glow that shows he's well cared for. Never to wear shorts in public, nor be bear of chest, Heath unwittedly hides the scarrings that he recieved over the few short years of his life as a Knight and a combatant in the Kings tournaments.
A faint yet thick mark resides on Heath’s right thigh, where not only had a blade managed to cut his leg, but the horse had also managed to take a near serious tumble and pined his leg beneath her side. The fact it hadn’t broken had been a miracle, yet the wound had ripped open more from the struggle, the light hair that grows over the skin refused to grow back.
A small, fainter burn mark can be seen on Heath’s left calf, this was from when he was younger, and falsely accused of taking a blacksmiths Horseshoe, which he had actually paid for from another man to take home to his father. In an effort to stop the then 14 year old Heath from walking away from the man, he had struck the back of the boys leg with a poker, which had been sitting in the hot coals and managed to seer through Heath’s trousers to his skin.
On Heath’s back, there are marks from a whip that had cut into his skin, as a result, they criss cross unevenly, but are faint enough that at a distance could likely be overlooked. These lashings were given to Heath when he was 17 after a noble youth he had bested in a fight, accused Heath of stealing something, and had a manservant place the belonging in Heath’s bags while Heath was challenging another Knight. There was no evidence that Heath hadn’t taken it, so unfortunately the arrogant Noble had to have his wish for Heath to be punished accepted. Even though, it was ordered the whipping not be deep, Heath had never shown signs of such dishonesty before, and while no proof could be given in Heath’s favour, most who knew Heath doubted the word of the noble youth who spoke again the young Knight.
Heath’s left upper arm has a blade cut, though for the most part it completely healed, save a slightly lighter discolouration.
On the left shoulder, from the same fight as where he got the cut on his arm, Heath also got stabbed by the tip of a jousting pole, which had thrown him back and almost right off the horse before he regained his balance, or at least managed to fall off more safely then at first it might seem manageable. The wound was deep at the time, but the scar which remains is a shiny dent where his skin struggled to close up without infection.
History:
The story of Heath is a common one, someone who is on the wrong side of the tracks and does anything they can to try and get to where they want to be, a squire of humble beginnings who yearns to become a knight. Being a peasant such a life was impossible.. or so that's what he has been constantly told. Since he was 13 Heath had trained in the stables with makeshift fights that he created from scratch. If he hit one of the sticks coming out of the trunk of this 'fighter', then it would swing about, and since there was a few in various heights, he'd have to duck or jump over them. This kept him fit and healthy, as did his constant horse riding and his play fights with his best friend William.
By 16 he was highly skilled in sword fights and he began practicing jousting with his horse and a using long straight branches he could find in the nearby forest and using a tree as his target. By 18 he had taken part in mock jousting battles with friends from the village, he could defeat all of them, and everyone knew he was talented and skilled, easily able t be a knight.. if only he was born with Noble blood.
Since he was not all of Heath's friends had insisted for him to cease having dreams of becoming a Knight, but he refused to give up, eventually by a run of luck, managing to become a squire to a true Knight. This wasn't his most ideal of jobs, to be so close and yet still so far from his dreams, but his master was kind and brave, treated him right and paid him enough to eat well enough every day or two. Spending this time at his master's side, Heath learned and studied Sir Arthur Kinsley’s moves and learned well from both his victories and losses.
His Master had one Knight that always posed a problem, the Black Knight, who's Armour was a dull darker shade, his attitude to match and many injustices rumored to have been caused by him.. yet not ever proven. The Black Knight (After a run of bad luck in his jousts against Sir Kingsley) had summoned the services of a wizard, who had promised good health to Sir Maximus O'Doyal, the Black Knight, and ill health towards Arthur, who was poisoned during his meal.
Heath was devastated that Arthur was dying, his Masters last words where for Heath to avenge his death.. and when Sir Kingsley died, Heath decided to joust in his place again the Dark Knight. With the help of his friends and a young writer named Geoffrey Chaucer, he forges a noble identity in order to compete in the jousting tournament and then with the new name 'Sir Ulrich von Liechtenstein' (Which Heath wasn't best pleased about) the new Noblemen made his way, armour and all, into the jousting arena.
The armour was slightly too big for Heath, unused to it, he was almost knocked off his steed, though in the next run, he had coped much better and struck the Dark Knight clear off his horse. This was but the first of his many victories, after that joust Heath had a thirst for it, he couldn't give it up, so he continued on for a year, a new armour made for him by a female blacksmith, defeating all his opponent, becoming the new champion of the King and Queen who always would go and watch.
Just a month before his 19 birthday, Heath was set up to fight against Sir Maximus O'Doyal, the Black Knight, once again to fight each other. His wizard had been replaced with another, for the old one was really a cheat and had no powers for the supernatural. This was however a true wizard, and Heath paid him no attention, thinking he was but another false trickster. It wasn't until after Heath had once again struck the Black Knight from his steed that Heath began to worry, for the Black Knight had demanded a sword fight, accusing Heath of cheating some how. Even though Heath was the one without a wizard (but in those times if you could afford a wizard then it was permitted). This was probably one of the reasons Heath was liked so much, people where convinced he was defeating champions that had charms and blessings placed upon them.
But Heath wasn't going to refuse the challenge, taking up his sword and turning his horse, leaving the jousting area and moving to where the barricades did not block their path. Raising his sword slightly, facing the Dark Knight, thinking now he'll be able to defeat this man who murdered his Master for yet another time, making this victory even more appealing for Heath. But as Heath waited for the Dark Knight to be armed with his sword, his horse, Kattalin, began shifting about anxiously, Heath glanced around as best he could with his helmet on, the visor wasn't very good when you wanted to look down. He could hair Kattalin's hooves stomping on the ground, a yell from his friends causing him to raise the visor so he could see what was happening, people where yelling, Heath's eyes glued on the figure of the wizard who had his arms in the air, chanting some strange language.
Before Heath could understand what was happening, it felt as if the ground had turned to water, both him and his steed falling through the lightly glowing ground and continuing to fall until landing with a splash in a lake, armour and all..
(I will start in the outer grounds from this point *Likes doing this*..)
While arriving at the age of 18, Heath currently is 19, turning 20 in the coming june.
Personality:
Honor, truth and the Knight-in-shinning armour hero that we have all read about many times, he's very charming and enjoys spending time with the ladies, he isn't one to swear and feels insulted is someone swears in the presence of a lady.
Likes:
Those who show respect, horse riding, jousting, dancing (But his style.. not this new modern type, he isn't used to it).
Dislikes:
Males who do not act like proper gentlemen should around ladies, people who are disrespectful towards others. Reading, maths and anything educational since he has great difficulties with it. Cheaters and dishonest people.
