PERSONALITY,Silas is a fairly thoughtful person, the kind of man who keeps to himself… mostly. His quiet demeanor hides his more tactful train of thought and though his face often displays a sense of brooding he can be quite caring… when the situation arrives. He is a very loyal individual and is generally dedicated to the task at hand- a very objectified individual. Being a straightforward individual he will remove whatever gets in his way, though in some recess of his mind he likes to think he would treat women better -in essence he’d like to think of himself as a gentleman- his goal often obscures who or what he’s pushing aside.
On a military basis he is a good fighter, determined and thoughtful of the battle at hand, but as far as human interaction goes he is sorely lacking and far from Romeo. His unsociable demeanor makes connection with others difficult and awkward to say the least.
APPEARANCE,From head to toe he is…. A man most certainly, but there is so much more to be said about him. One could say he is bland preferring a monochromatic wardrobe to perhaps something a little more… festively colored. His hair is edging on the longer side falling near his shoulders in an almost “fluffy“ manner. Dog hair would be a good description; it’s about as well kept. As though it is trying to blend in with his dull clothing his hair is mainly a grayish silver in color with the tips being just a shade darker. His eyes are smallish, with thin dark lashes and a serious, narrow gaze that almost completely shades their lovely Prussian blue color. He has a bit of an angular face, not like the face of a Greek god, but more like a slab of plain stone. His nose his straight and his lips are thin, serious. While his body is well toned it in no way reflects his ill-toned social skills… not that it ought to. A thin string holds the canine of some large beast, it’s a bit grotesque, but who‘s complaining, at least it‘s some kind of decoration.
While most of his upper body is exposed, leaving that handsomely defined stomach out there for the world to see -seriously, what about modesty- he wears a strangely cut black jacket. The neck line is trimmed by a good deal of whitish fur and the front and back only falls to the bottom of his ribs while the sleeves cover his arms along with a good portion of his hands. His pants are a deep gray in color, bland like everything else with the only decoration being a silver hued belt. Though he wears black combat boots not many would know that since his loose fitting pants cover them almost completely.
Kiva is of average height, and slightly petite. Her body structure is often called bird-like. Her hair is styled shoulder height, and looks sloppily cut. Her bangs, of the same length as her chin, covers the right side of her face, and is held up with a small round pin. There is a tattoo in the shape of curved v on it's side underneath her left eye, and being the only one you can see, it is a light blue green. She wears a simple forest green dress that falls just under her knees. The sleeves cover her palms, and cut off in a diagonal across her fingers. Her left sleeve looks cut off, and has a baggy piece of lighter green material exposing some skin where the sleeve should be. And over the dress, which does not cover her shoulders, there is a cloak that flows down to fall barely above the hem of her dress. Holding up the cloak is a pin identical to her hair pin. And last but not least, her foot wear. She has a brown colored pair of boots with sandal straps covering the material.

NON-MAGIC,Silas carries a bag of essentials, like jerky and a water skin as well as a money purse. He has another bag for some simple leather working tools.
MAGIC,
-Kiva: Kiva is a demon who possessed the whip. All that is left of her is her spirit, yet because she is housed in the whip she can revert back to her original form. She can cast VERY simple fire spells. The only thing it's good for really, is starting a campfire. Other than that she is very good with linguistics, and can drive any sane person mad (Not Literally, she's just blasted annoying, and would make a very good lawyer, as she can find loopholes in just about anything). How she has not done this to Silas is a mystery.

RACIAL ABILITIES,Acute Sense- The Hylians have a natural ability that doubles their senses for five posts with a two post cooldown.
WEAPONS,
Whip (magical): Called Kiva, the whip more often than not takes the form of a young women. She can also be found talking for him most of the time and handling all social interactions. Originally it was something he had crafted himself.
HISTORY,
Silas grew up in Kakariko village along with his father Variin, Uncle Darina, and mother Khitlene. His father was a Tanner, providing the leather to his wife's brother (Darin) who then worked with the leather. His mother, having no true occupation, sat contentedly around the house sewing, and knitting, forgetting her life. She has short term memory loss, due to a recent serious head trauma, and it has grown worse over the past five years. She can't seem to remeber where she is, or who is around her. Not wanting to show that this bothered him, this is when Silas adopted his “serious face”.
Silas began learning to use the whip soon after his Uncle began to teach him the inner workings of leather work, and made his own weapon. He trained as often as he could, and often avoided going home until he had learned something new, or had improved so that he could show his parents how well he was doing.
He was quiet as a child, but very adventurous, often coming home with multiple cuts and bruises, and once even a missing tooth. Not having many friends, he often played by himself , creating fake enemies, imaginary battles, and playing against himself in chess. However, during the few times he did associate with the other children it was often to stick up for someone who was being bullied. He never said a word, but when he came around the other kids were prepared for a throw down. The girls in the village, often romanticizing everything, easily compared him with the Hyrulian Knights, commenting on his "obvious sense of honor".
He completed school with passing grades in every subject, but excelled in math and history. And so Silas took up his uncle's trade as his father thought it would be difficult to become a traveling Tanner. He did learn a few basic tricks about how to keep leather, and a few lessons on how to spot the quality stuff. Silas worked hard around the house in addition to his training, keeping the shed stocked with chopped wood, and hay for the family's single horse. And thus Silas grew up to be a fine, well-toned, young man.
When he was grown, Silas was often hired by the villagers to hunt monsters. This is how he met Kiva, a demon who derived her endless pleasures from catching villagers and playing mind games with them, often switching ‘personalities’ to confuse them, and pretending she didn‘t know what was happening, etc. Anything to mess with them. The villagers hired Silas to kill her, when one day she went too far and caused a girl to commit suicide. The villagers viewed this as murder and immediately called for Silas, who battled the weak demon. Her strengths lie in mind games, not melee. Dying, and absolutely furious that he had spoiled her fun, she grabbed a hold of his whip and faded away with these words “You will never be rid of me.” It wasn‘t until later when he realized that she now inhabited his weapon, and it wasn‘t until much later that she realized, that as he was her master now, she could not harm him.
Soon after this inceident he finished his apprenticeship, and left the house. Now they wander Hyrule looking for any kind of work they can scrounge up, be it Mercenary, or Leather worker. Kiva harassing him every step of the way.
As a side note, Silas was never very good at magics, and if he ever does learn a spell he can only ever perform very basic versions.
