Username: [Hiuko]
Name: Icarus Zilitherandinaricktus (To his friends he is called Icky)
Race: Insectus
Age: 570
Weapon(s): He usually uses a combination of two small bombs, a spear, a cross bow, and two scrimitars. There are a plethora of other weapons he can use though.
Armor: His exoskeleton is a very hard shell.
Magic: None

Strengths: He is extremely dexterous, very intelligent, and not remotely fearful of anything. He is also great at analyzing opponents and he can make extraordinary weapons.

Weaknesses: He can sometimes come across as emotionless and his limbs are like sticks, barely any muscle at all. He is very weak but he makes up for it with the weapons he makes.

Appearance: His shell is tan colored and he is a 6ft tall six armed insectoid. He doesn’t have any private areas to cover up really but he does wears cloth over his shoulder and around his wait to carry weapons for quick access, the cloth is nice and breathable in the desert, even if it does suffer much tear and wear from the grinding desert sands. Most of his other stuff is in the leather saddle bags the camels he and his monster hunting companions own.

Personality: He is extremely intelligent and, as per his race, he is fearless. He fearlessness is literally genetic to his race, the Insectus. He may come across as emotionless but he does have emotions, but after 570 years he has mastered his emotions quite well, especially for someone so young... well young in Insectus terms anyway.

History: He was born in the nest and he grew up there for 100 years. Then he was old enough to work and he became an inventor, he made many gadgets for tunneling to expand the nest further under the ground. He did that for 450 years and got bored so he asked the mother if he would be allowed to leave to use his skills to learn about the world above. Since there was a lack of Insectus adventurers the mother allowed this and he had to return every 50 years to give a full report on his analysis of the upper world. His tenth year on the upper world he walked into the church of forgotten children and met a young girl named Miranda, she was only twelve at the time. She was an exception to the normal human reactions, she actually liked how Icarus looked and from that day forth she called him Icky. He made residence in that town and visited her often to tell her tales of his latest hunt. When she turned 18 she failed to become a monk so she became a traveler and Icarus went with her to make sure she was okay. They ran across some bandits and in that fray Miranda met Berz and Icarus decided to let Miranda go and left her in the hands of Berz. He met her years later and joined the Desert Storm which her and Berz created and a short while after that he met his friends Kruz, Abak, and Slith. They banded together and monster hunters and Icarus convinced them to join the Desert Storm. Also after hearing Miranda call Icarus “Icky” they have never let him live it down.

Other: Fearlessness is not aggressiveness. If there is a giant beast that wants to kill them they will face it and only fight back if it attacks first. If the beast though is not aggressive they will still face it despite its size and appearance and they will discover that it is gentle. They are not afraid of anything and do not act with any preconceived notions despite what they may have heard before hand. Also he analyzes everything, literally.
