## Background

*"I surrender my soul, Gorum, hear my call, one day I'll sit beside your throne, In Elysium's great hall, like so many before me, I'll die with honour and pride, the right of the warrior forever to fight by your side.
Send a sign, raise the sail, wave a last goodbye, destiny is calling, immortality be mine.
Call the witch to cast the ruins, weave a magic spell, we who die in battle are born, not for Heaven, not for Hell.
We are sons of Gorum, the fire we burn inside, is the legacy of warrior kings, who reign above in the sky.
I will lead the charge, my sword into the wind, Sons of Gorum fight to die and live again, warrior ships cross the sea, in cold wind and rain, sail into the black of night, magic stars our guiding light.
Today the blood of battle upon my weapons will never dry, many I'll send to the ground, laughing as they die.
We are sons of Gorum, the fire we burn inside, is the legacy of warrior kings, who reign above in the sky.
I will lead the charge, my sword into the wind, Sons of Gorum fight to die and live again, warrior ships cross the sea, in cold wind and rain, sail into the black of night, magic stars our guiding light.
Place my body on a ship and burn it in the sea, let my spirit rise Valkyries carry me, Take me to Elysium where my brothers wait for me, fires burn into the sky, my spirit will never die.
I will lead the charge, my sword into the wind, Sons of Gorum fight to die and live again, warrior ships cross the sea, in cold wind and rain, sail into the black of night, magic stars our guiding light."* -Ballad of a Gorumite

The up and coming scion of Lastwall's Whitestone noble house Mars has served as his family's sworn blade and bulwark maintaining the oaths of his line for three years after graduating from the Crusader Collage of Vigil. Forsaking the Sword and Shield of his forefathers was a brief upset in his training as the War-scholars of the Collage observed Mars combining a defensive finesse with sheer brute force through a sword first considered too large and cumbersome for a knight of Vigil, scholars still debate on whether this is the only reason Mars ascended into the ranks of Lastwall's knighthood as his dueling and combat prowess were nigh-unmatched while his scholastic pursuits were pitiful if at all existent.

"The Orcs and the Dead won't care if I have read your bloody tome, Precentor Martial."

Mars' faults were quickly forgotten as he began his service to the realm, ceaselessly striving for more and more glory in battle, found at the front of every engagement and the last to leave few soldiers would even consider the academic prowess of Sir Whitestone while he stood before them holding back the green tide.

## Description

A giant of a man Mars stands at well over 6'7" in his master-craft armor which he is rarely seen without, emblazoned in the white-gold of Lastwall and trimmed in the harsh iron of Gorum his allegiances are all but hidden. Seemingly a walking armory he is never seen without one of his weapons, while in active duty he is a sight to behold, with a shield on his back covering the sheath of his massive Greatsword *'Gloria Invictus'*, a longsword at his hip and a duelist's dagger on each forearm 'Armed to the Teeth' could be an understatement. Surrounded by an aura of confidence Mars' fearless nature seems only befitting of a knight of his status, he speaks with intention and is quick to act on his words should they come into question or his truths be doubted, while he is open and respectful towards those who have shown their worth in service he is haughty and disdainful towards those unproven treating them as he would otherwise a petulant child.

*Gosh it disturbs me to see you, Mars Whitestone
Looking so down in the dumps
Every guy here'd love to be you, Mars Whitestone*

 *Even when taking your lumps
There's no man in town as admired as you
You're everyone's favorite guy
Everyone's awed and inspired by you
And it's not very hard to see why
No one's slick as Mars, son
No one's quick as Mars, son
No one's neck's as incredibly thick as Mars Whitestone's
For there's no man in town half as manly
Perfect, a pure paragon!
You can ask any Tom, Dick or Stanley
And they'll tell you whose team they prefer to be on
Who plays darts like Mars Whitestone
Who breaks hearts like Mars Whitestone
Who's much more than the sum of his parts like Mars Whitestone
"As a specimen, yes, I'm intimidating"
My what a guy, that Mars Whitestone*

 *I needed encouragement*"*Thank you, Herald"
Well there's no on as easy to bolster as you
Too much? "Yep"
No one fights like Mars Whitestone
Douses lights like Mars Whitestone
In a wrestling match nobody bites like Mars Whitestone
"When I hunt I sneak up with my quiver
And beasts of the field say a prayer
First, I carefully aim for the liver
Then I shoot from behind"
Is that fair?
"I don't care"
No one hits like Mars Whitestone
Matches wits like Mars Whitestone
In a spitting match nobody spits like Mars Whitestone
I'm especially good at expectorating
\*Ptoooie\*
Ten points for Mars Whitestone*

 *"When I was a lad I ate four dozen eggs
Every morning to help me get large
And now that I'm grown I eat five dozen eggs
So I'm roughly the size of a barge!"*

*Ooh*   *Who has brains like Mars Whitestone
Entertains like Mars Whitestone
Who can make up these endless refrains like Mars Whitestone*"*I use antlers in all of my decorating"
Say it again
Who's a man among men
Who's the super success
Don't you know, can't you guess?
Ask his fans and his five hangers-on
There's must one guy in town who's got all of it down
And his name's Mars Whitestone*
