The Mask
Name: Bob of Olau
Age: Eighteen
Place of birth: Olau
Gender: Male
Home: The knight quaters at the Royal Palace, however he is on patrol a lot.
Position: Knight
Cannon or original: Cannon
Face claim: Zac Efron
Appearance: To many people Bob appears to be a pretty boy, with his blonde hair and his bright blue eyes, but appearances can be deceiving. Someone that has been training to be a knight for nine years, and passed the Ordeal, would not be able to cope if he was a pretty boy. Bob has rather large biceps in both arms, but his stronger arm is his left, as he is left handed, which means that he uses his left to fight as well as write. His hands and feet re rather large for a mere nineteen year old, and on occasion he is called big foot.
Bob looks nothing like his father, Myles of Olau, as Myles had brown hair and Bob has blonde hair. Most people wonder where Bob actually got his looks from. One thing he inherited from his mother was beautiful blue eyes, eyes that are warm and friendly but when he is angry they could stare right through you. Bob is rather tall for his age, standing at 6 foot, another thing he didn’t inherit from either of his parents, although his half brother, George of Pirates Swoop, is also rather tall so he guesses it comes from his mother’s side.
Being a nobles son meant Bob was taught from a young age that appearance is everything, so he was taught to wear stunning clothing. However, when he is training in the court yards or riding he can be found wearing tunic and breeches, as they allow extra movement. His hair isn’t quite long enough to tie up like many other young men’s as he has a completley different style cut. Bob has a six pack. After years of training you would probably have a six pack too, would you not?
Personality: Bob usually puts on a tough act for his fellow knights and other people in the palace. Like any other man he doesn’t like to flaunt his weaknesses and tries to act as though he is tough and nothing will ever hurt him. He tries to act like everyone else does, as if they are all tough. He doesn’t see the point of being tough, but does I anyway to stick in. Like any other man Bob likes to joke and talk about girls.
Perhaps that is what people that don’t know him well will see, but there is another side to him that only Artemis has the privilege of seeing. There is a soft and sweet side of Bob. A side that is a complete hopeless romantic and only wants the best for her. He is very protective over Artemis and would be crushed if anything ever happened to her. Artemis and Bob are very cute together, even if they both do still flirt with other people.
Artemis is Bob’s first long term relationship. He is serious in a way, but not entirely. Before Artemis Bob couldn’t be tamed and he flirted all the time, but along came Artemis. She’s currently the most important thing in his life, even if she always confuses him. The thing is that he loves her so much but he doesn’t know if she is the right one. He wants to propose to her, but before he does he needs to prove that she is his soul mate.
One of Bob’s weaknesses is fighting or writing with his right arm. Sure, he can still punch well with his right arm, but if you were to put a pen or a sword in that arm it is completely useless. Another weakness would be black smithing. Of course he can mend a sword with great difficulty. Back when he was a squire, nearly ready to face the Ordeal he would tremble at the thought of what would lay in that chamber. But, more about his Ordeal later.
Bob is blessed with bravery and loyalty. He is very brave and bold, standing up for what he believes in even when times are tough and saying his opinion even when he knows someone might laugh. Bob would run to the end of the world and back to help a friend. Whether his friend needed help in battle or with something else Bob would be right by their side, helping them and supporting them all the way.
History: Many well noted people are somehow related to Bob. For example his half brother George, who is married to the Lioness, was once King of The Thieves and helped save the King. The there is the Lioness herself. Who in a way is pretty much his sister, although he thinks of her more as a cousin, who is well known throughout Tortall. Then Bob's father, Myles, the well noted scholar. His mother isn't quite as well known, but the few patients she treats say she's a great healer.
Bob was raised in Olau, born to Elini and Myles. Elini already had a son and Myles already had a adopted daughter, but they decided they would like to have a child them selves, which is exactly what Bob is. As a child Bob loved going outside to the ruins with his dad and younger nephews and nieces. He loved to play and heloved to hear his father's stories.
At the age of 10 he went to the royal palace and trained to be a knight. It was extremley hard work, but he thinks it was worth it. At the age of 16 Bob lost his virginity,to a beautiful blue eyed 17 year old. While at the palace he made many friends, enemies and met many girls. Most of the girls were not full time relationships and he doesn't even remember halfof their names anymore.
About 5 months before his ordeal he met Artemis. She was a flirt, but beautiful and she actually had a heart. His love for her grew and eventually they started courting and Bob became very serious. The Ordeal was one of the worst things he has ever experienced. It was horrible. First he had seen his family being tortured, next he had seen Artemis dead, thirdly he had been crushed by a pole, wothout being able to move and fourthly he had been crawled all over by spiders.
The experience was utterly dreadful, but he felt like he was really a man now and tht he could face anything. He still gets bad night mares about it,but he is begginning to be able to forget. Since the ordeal he has been sent all of the country, mainly on patrol and he hasn't been involved in a battle yet. His love for Artmis, or Arty as he calls her, is still strong and he would never do anything to loose her.
