-Background-

Samhain Aeramis was born to Gilford and Ana Aeramis. The Aeramis family had been minor nobles for generations after Jarrod Aeramis won small acclaim on the battlefield. Jarrod was awarded with the lands that would become the family estate of Stormpoint. Stormpoint is located along the Garnet Coast on a small peninsula. The estate gained its name after Jarrod experienced storm after storm batter the land. It created a hardy set of farmers and fisherman. They became known for their tenacity and stubbornness. From these traits grew a creativity and resourcefulness that they had to rely on in order to succeed. These in time would be passed onto Samhain in his teachings.

Sadly Samhain's mother died several days after giving birth to Samhain due to an infection from giving birth to the young man. This left Samhain in the care his father who at first was a man of honor and piety. However the loss of his wife drove the once great man to the bottle. At first it was an escape on days where he could not get Ana out of his head. Soon it turned into whenever he had a hard day, to anything that was remotely a challenge and then finally to every day for any given reason. It was in this spiral that his father would fritter away most of their family’s estate that had been in their family for numerous generations. During this time Gilford took many women to bed and that quickly joined the drink as one of his primary vices. This led to four, known, half siblings that ranged from five years Samhain's junior to eight years his junior. Through much convincing eventually the servants of what was left of the estate convinced Gilford to keep his philandering down to the mother's of his children.

Things would drastically change the day Gilford set his hungry eye upon one of the slaves that was kept within the walls of Stormpoint, Eallyrl. When things did not as Gilford planned he was left sore from a physical assault. Demanding retribution Gilford would call his eldest son to his chambers. Words quickly became heated as years of frustration seeped out of Samhain which led to a moment that he never thought was possible. Reaching out he took one of the pillows that lay on the bed and he began to smother the head of the Aeramis estate. A few moments later his father fell still in his bed, lifting the pillow he discovered that the deed had been done, placing the pillow back on the bed and closing his eyes Samhain left. Gilford would be discovered in the morning by servants that were loyal to Samhain before any of Gilford's bastards or 'playthings'. Working without even consulting him they finished up positioning the body so that it appeared that he had died during his sleep. Gilford would be laid to rest three days later and it would be at that time that Samhain would inform Eallyrl of what his father had intended to do to her for his own pleasure. In return for sparing her this fate she was to be beholden to him until her death and would never question a word he said. Without a thought she agreed and their bond began a new era.

Samhain would end up in control of what was left of the family estate upon his father’s death. With the family reputation in shambles and any wealth gone Samhain immediately set out upon the task of rebuilding what his father had destroyed. After six years he has managed to settle all of the debts of his father and brought his family’s name back out of laughing stock to the level of a peasant. His eyes are set much higher than his current position and won’t stop until he reaches that height. With Eallyrl at his side Samhain knew it was time to go beyond just trying to perform damage control on his father's reputation and is now ready to make one of his own.

-Land-

Stormpoint, see description above, holds a worn down estate on its plat of land. Also requesting the acquisition of what would be Eallyrl's plat, with her permission, as she is a slave to Samhain and has been owned by the Aeramis family most of her life.

-Languages-

Common Tongue, Light Tongue

-Armor-

Samhain typically wears more ornate leather armor that is supplemented by thick clothing and a cloak that is accented with a wolf fur collar and pauldrons. It is one of the few pieces of family history that he managed to save from his father's drunken spending. The armor had been passed down for three generations from his great grandfather and was one the family's most prized possessions. Though Samhain owns a heavy set of armor it is more just for decoration and is no where close to combat quality. (Armor sets not yet available for IC use)

Samhain currently walks around in a set of finer blue and gold clothing with the blue being the primary color. The cloak that falls over his shoulders is one of traveling quality and is fastened with a simple broach. He has chosen to not yet wear his family's set of armor as he does not yet deem it ideal to do so.

-Weapons-

Bow (Journeymen)- This is Samhain's preferred weapon and has shown remarkable promise with the bow at a young age. He was able to compete with the adults at the family estate. By the age of twelve he had reached the point that one of his teachers had scraped together enough money to purchase him a bow that he would cherish and guard. The bow was made of a red yew with a strong flax bow string. Along the curves there are black engravings stretch all the way down to the middle. In the middle of the bow, where his left hand would hold it are dark blue and gold wrappings. His teacher told him that though it may not be the most pleasing combination colors to the eye it would make it stand out. That the red yew grew plentiful upon his family lands, the black engravings were wards that brought steadiness and accuracy, and that the blue and gold were the colors of his family.

Weapon Skills

Unarmed- Novice
Bow- Journeyman 

Quick Shot- Through quick reflexes and a quick eye Samhain can fire two arrows off in quick succession from his bow. (Samhain is able to fire twice in one post. One post cooldown. 20 stamina)

Steady Shot- A deep breath and a steady hand allow Samhain is able to launch arrows with increased accuracy making potentially severely damaging hits. (Samhain fires his bow with increased accuracy with the potential of devastating wounds if unblocked. One post cooldown, 20 stamina)

Defensive Fire- Run, they are too close! Samhain rolls backwards, firing a quick shot aimed at creating distance and then returns to his feet. This is not possible to execute in heavy armor. (One post cooldown. 20 stamina)

Alright then! Everything looks to be in order (though that might change if any updates are made).
Only a few things that needs to be changed.
Weapon skills of Journeyman rank use 20 stamina

Quick Shot- A bow can be fired more than once in any given post and the distance to the target (if they are moving forward). The move itself doesn't need to be fixed I was just curious as if you thought a bow could only be shot once per post.

Steady Shot- I would assume with the name that it is a single shot with increased accuracy, or is multiple shots as long as the mode is active? If the latter the move will have to be changed slightly.

Defensive Fire- That move is fine but I would add that it can only be done in light, or medium armor, as rolling around in heavy plate armor isn't very easy and would be difficult for someone of low skill with a bow to roll and then fire.

[Samhain Aeramis]

1. Steady shot refers to increased accuracy.

2. Added armor restriction

3. Added Land formal description, including land acquisition request

[Void]

Steady Shot, so it is increased accuracy for a single shot? One shot is higher in accuracy than a normal shot, or is it for multiple shots when Steady shot is active that all shots are increased in accuracy?

[Samhain Aeramis]

One shot

[Void]

Approved!
