Editing Proxenus

*[http://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/It%27s_dark_in_here wiki]
==Combat==
*Bow combat for Proxenus is pretty much as you'd imagine.

*Spear combat is a little bit different. He'll generally stab and then move, relying on his phenomenal reflexes to avoid being struck in retaliation. He will rarely need to fight in a static line, so he darts backwards and forwards making slower fighters chase him. His ability to use short strike ranks and then move away before he can be hit makes him a difficult foe.

*He's naturally an asymmetrical fighter. When fighting in a scrum he'll keep and eye out for someone fixated on the guy facing him and stab him, gunning for flank modifiers and no parry to knock them out of the fight quickly. His spear's long reach is useful in this.

*He knows that an enemy, confronted by this sort of attack, often moves in to grapple. This is the main danger he faces, so if given a chance at an aimed shot he likes to disable legs and then stand back to deal with the immobilised enemy.
==Background==
The Yelmalion Sun Dome infantry are a dour lot; tough, hard, aloof aristocrat heavy infantry who are feared in battle, cool to acquaintances and lords in thier own homes.

Well, that's the preferred model of templar.

Proxenus, however, is a bit of a smart arse.

His peers like to ponce about, pretending to be all serious, but deep down Proxenus knows they're just as petty, small minded and stupid as, well, everyone. It's all too much to take.

No, the Sartar neighbours are more fun. They don't take themselves as seriously, and when they lie to your face they've got that gleam in thier eye that tells you it's all a game, and they want you to enjoy it too. Much more Proxenus' speed.

This sort of attitude doesn't make you exactly popular around the Sun Dome, and Proxenus frankly doesn't give a rat's. This is worse, because templars are always stressing about what people think about them. This means if there's any jobs that need going north, some long face in a beard turns up on Proxenus' doorstep with a long winded oration about devotion to duty, honour and so on.

Bugger it, any excuse to go to the Tin Inn.

Proxenus is a middling farmer-soldier of the Sun Dome settlement south of Apple Lane. He doesn't really fit in with his fellow templars, being a sort of frivolous and light-hearted individual not prone to the serious demeanour expected of Yelmalio's chosen. As such, he's usually keen to escape the stuffy confines of the town and is often picked to courier messages to other Sun Domers in the area. Of course, as the Sun Dome elite prefer only Light Sons to interact with 'foreigners' he is not supposed to talk to anyone on his way. This often seems to slip his mind.

*You have an urge to swim a lot.

*On the Mundane plane gains the Lizard claw feat. 1 pt of POW to activate, works like a 1pt iron claw/fist spell.  This can be increased by repeating the Heroquest on the mundane plane by fighting a Thunder lizard with big claws and invoking the myth.
