Ah, I'm definitely interested. May I reserve the Healer? [ I'd also be willing to double up once other people have chosen. ^^ ]
I'll edit this with the form in a minute.
NAME: Azaleh [ Aza ] Capricorn
ROLE: Healer
SEX: Male
APPEARANCE:
Azaleh has always been tall and lanky for his age; with a slender build, he has never been strong. Long and straight black hair falls freely to his shoulders, unless he finds the need to tie it back into a loose ponytail. His eyes are a pale blue, and are usually narrowed at something that he finds unsatisfactory. His favorite color is light blue, appropriately, and it is what he may generally be found wearing, as shoes, pants, a shirt, a jacket, and even a hair tie. His clothing is always well-arranged, and he is never unkempt in appearance unless he has literally just crawled out of bed. As a whole, Aza is generally very tidy in appearance.
PERSONALITY:
If asked to describe Aza, the most common response would likely be "mercurial, capricious, and arrogant." Indeed, he has never been an agreeable person. Though he is not particularly rich, he turns his nose up at anything that strikes him as tainted or imperfect, angering even his closest friends without hesitation; the one exception to this is illness, as he does not turn away patients. This quirk is not his only good trait, though they are often hidden by his faults. He tends to be generous to those who he sees as deserving, and though he hates stains left by blood, grass, and mud, he has never let this get in the way of his job, which he sees as his duty.
HISTORY:
Aza was born to a skilled herbalist and a zither player. He has always followed in his father's footsteps and admired his mother's skills. From a young age, he learned the different kinds of plants and their effects on the human body and other uses. Beginning from age ten, he helped his father treat patients, and when he turned eighteen and his father and mother died within two weeks of each other from the same plague, he took over the business. Since then, he has vowed to himself that he will find ways to cure every illness, so that he won't lose his loved ones again; recently, he closed the business, deciding to travel in search of new remedies.
SKILLS:
Aza is familiar with all reasonably common plants, medicinal and otherwise, and also has a small amount of skill with the zither. Though he carries a knife for self-defense, he is really not very good at fighting; his main skill lies in treating injuries and illnesses. He also has enough knowledge to poison and kill others if he finds it necessary.
ABILITIES:
Aza has always healed more quickly than his peers, and has never become severely ill. However, recently he has found that the patients that he likes seem to heal faster than those that he does not like. More and more, and especially with children, he finds that minor wounds seem to close up beneath his fingers, and that coughing seems to ease when he is near. Though it is not something that he can consciously control, it makes him uneasy; he wishes that he knew what it was.
