Hadrian has lived through the years and has since developed into a later maturity. He's no longer grasped by hectic rashness of his youth but he still retains much of his youthful inner fire within him, sometimes showing its self when the older man gets riled up. After seeing all he's seen in his life, he has grown somewhat desensitized but he still holds a soft spot for innocence, tranquility, and beautiful women.
After all these years, Hadrian has grown quite intellectual, especially after being commissioned as an officer in the Hylian Knights. His line of duty required him to be smarter than any enemy he may have to face, and he did just that. Using the Hylian Library as his tool, he spent hours and days, weeks and months just studying about the world and what she has to display. Of course, his time spent in books was completely overshadowed by his time out in the world, learning first hand how the world works. He's practically been all over the world, numerous times. There have been a lot of friends and a lot of enemies.
The most obvious trait is his pride and stubbornness. At times it can seem like arrogance, but arrogance has little to no backbone; usually just an illusion of pride to hide insecurities. Hadrian's pride is tried and true, forged through the blood and tears he's shed. The only ones that believe he's arrogant are the ones that don't know his tale. The ones that do, definitely knows he deserves his pride.
APPEARANCE, Sir Hadrian Ecclesius
▌Within the thicket of street lamps and shops, a strange man walks down a stony road directly in front of where you stand. Horses neigh and gallop past him while children run across the street, playing under the star-filled sky. His attire differs greatly from the common folk of this town, causing him to stand out against the crowd. Where gray and brown clothing flourish, his are dirty white clothes that wrap tightly around his thin frame with the exception of his baggy pants. Strapped horizontal at his lower back is a large, expertly crafted sword long out of commission. Long, unruly gray hair that will dance in the slightest of breezes rests at the top of his back. Now tarnished golden light armor lays atop the white clothing. The craftsmanship of the armor shows that it was once a polished, glowing set worn only by the high class. Grasped in his gold-plated hand is a soft white staff that doesn't visibly glow but you can feel something holy radiating from it. The staff head curves in elegant designs never before seen. Inlaid in the white wood are ancient, golden runes that you're unable to decipher. You begin to notice a humble melody being tapped out as the bottom of the staff strikes the rocky road. Naturally, the sound of a staff hitting the ground would be drowned out by the town's activity and the distance between you and this enigmatic man but there's something different with this person. The enchanting tune continues to play, even as the man comes to a stop.
▌The tight grip on his staff begins to loosen. He gives no indication to why he stops but simply stands in the middle of the road, staring forward. He plucks the staff from its sturdy foothold in the ground and slowly turns halfway around. You instantly notice that hes now looking directly at you. A thick, gray beard and mustache covers the lower half of his aged but still handsome face. His light gray eyes refuse to break from yours. Just from their look, those eyes tell you stories of heroics, legends, lust, deception, and countless other tales of yore. His staff finds a place in the ground but you see no reason for this man to use a staff after seeing his ease with walking. A friendly smile curls his lips when another stronger gale begins to pick up. You can feel the wind trace across your skin. As you continue to gaze at the man, you see the head of his staff begin to dissolve and dissipate in the winds. More and more of the staff begins to fade and within a few moments, the man himself begins to disappear in the breeze. He winks to you before a strong gust blows through, taking the man from view. The particles float into the wind and out of sight completely and you are left to stand there and ponder what exactly just happened.
WEAPONS and ARMOR,
Weapons ▌Buster Brave- Unique in every way, this blade displays impeccable tenacity and immaculate craftsmanship. Given to him in his younger years as a Hylian Knight, the weapon itself has seen more combat than most of the current Hylian Knights have, combined. The metal used in the forging of this blade is unknown, but obviously rare due to the changing hues that occur naturally down the length of the sword. The hilt and pommel are forged of the same material but adorn with high quality craftsmanship to ensure perfect balance. What makes this weapon so stunning is not only its appearance, but the feel of the sword itself. If handed the sword, most would stumble and drop the blade due to the shear weight, heavier than two full grown men. Only the elder Knight himself knows why this occurs, but takes joy in allowing others to test the blade's swing. However, Hadrian refrains from using this amazing companion in combat anymore but won't relinquish the reasoning behind why. Hadrian seems to be able to wield it with no hindrance whatsoever.
▌YGGDRASIL- A pure white staff that Hadrian uses as his primary weapon. Golden runes are engraved in the length of the staff but seem indecipherable to almost all people. An almost divine aura can be felt coming off of the staff. Through his storytelling, Hadrian will claim that the Great Deku Tree itself broke off one of its branches and gave it to the old Hylian Knight as a gift.
▌GLYPHS - On each palm of his hand, Hadrian has inscribed two golden Hylian Crests. They act as a focal point for most of his magic. They don't increase the effectiveness of spells but to Glyphs allow his to channel the energy better than other spots on his body. On the soles of his feet are two more glyphs; as on his palms, they are the Hylian Crests. Damage to the glyphs doesn't effect his casting ability but complete removal of them will put a dampener on his ability.
Armor
▌HYLIAN KNIGHT EQUIPMENT - All magical damage the Hylian receives when wearing his armor is decreased by one level. The armour also decreases damage dealt by Darkness or Shadow magic by an additional half a level. Any light-based magic attack is increased by half a level in damage.
ITEMS, ▌None
KILL TROPHIES, ▌Vucon’s Fangs

HISTORY,
▌Just by looking at the man and seeing his fierce eye, you can tell he's been through a lot.
All that's notable about his childhood and adolescence is that he was born to a Hylian father and Human mother.
Thirty-five years ago was when he first enlisted into the Hylian Knights. Like everyone else who first enlists, he was the grunt, the bottom of the totem pole. He had to earn respect and his place in the ranks. Being only half-Hylian made it significantly more difficult while in the lower ranks of the enlisted sector. He had the dedication and motivation to push through any obstacle and his higher ups noticed that.
He was leading his own squad just a year out of the Academy, a feat most would say. He carried out over twenty-five successful missions the year proceeding his promotion to a squad leader. The most notable of which was overtaking a fortified enemy forward operating base with only five other men. Outnumbered 1:7, he used his cunning and intellect to sneak into the camp, undoing the enemy forces from the inside out. The squad suffered no losses and only minor injuries.
By his sixth year in the Knights, he was commanding his own division nicknames The Sentinels. Of the Sentinels, there was one officer above him, and four squads, of fifteen men, below him in the chain of command. They were one of the top divisions for over seven years following their commission. In turn, the higher ups signed the Sentinels into a special forces unit. While they still fought in the front lines of war, they were more renown for missions that required a unique kind of knight because war is fought with intelligence, not always brute force. They were sent all over the world and this is where Hadrian gained his thirst for adventure and exploration. He encountered so much more than he ever had before.
Three years later, he was promoted to a Master Sergent where he only spent a year and a half before being commissioned as an officer. He surpassed most of the junior officer ranks and starting at Lieutenant. Since his commission, he began pushing initiates at the Academy. His training was some of the hardest, pushing recruits to the limits all the time. Between training recruits and studying in the Library, Hadrian's life has gotten to quiet for his tastes.
The name Sir Hadrian Ecclesius, goes a long way in Hyrule and esspecially The Knights and Hyrule Castle.

Okay, wow, nice coding and stuff.
Just need some clarification on the abilities. What exactly does Free Burst do? As I understand it now it's essentially a magical attack, but you describe it as moderate with no cooldown, which seems a bit much. As for Hadrian's Wall, is that basically a guard ability? One post block-all and then cooldown? If that's the case cooldown might need to go to at least two posts.
Other than those minor things, really nice character sheet.

Fixed the cooldown for Hadrian's Wall. Free Burst is essentially just a burst of energy. Once its cast, it cant be manipulated again, like water leaving a hose nozzle. It can only take generic forms at low levels. Like if the element was fire. It would be like a flamethrower or molotov. Thanks for the compliment

Alright, going to need at least a one post cooldown on that and then you should be good for my approval.
