Evil is evil. Lesser, greater, middling... makes no difference. The degree is arbitrary. The definition's blurred. If I'm to choose between one evil and another... I'd rather not choose at all.
GERALT OF RIVIA
Theme:
Aliases: The White Wolf, The Butcher of Blaviken, White One, Gwynbleidd
Source: The Witcher
Age: 101

Alignment: Neutral Good
Occupation: Witcher
Affinities: Lucky
Total Essence Spent: 1950
Status: On the Path
Character Behaviour
Geralt is a stoic spellblade. Taken at a young age by the Witcher Vesemir as reimbursement for a contract, Geralt was thrust from the innocence of childhood into a world of danger and peril. Trained to become a Witcher and subjected to a myriad of mutations, even more so than the average Witcher due to his unnatural tolerance, Geralt quickly adapted to this harsh culture and the discrimination that life as a mutant would bring. Playing into the stereotype that Witchers are incapable of feeling emotion, Geralt can appear as aloof and taciturn upon the first introduction. To some, mainly those clients who require his monster-slaying services, he can appear quite cold and apathetic. Behind the rough exterior, however, is a deeply empathetic and morally humanist man - Geralt is capable of understanding and seeing the perspectives of others, able to take the time to listen and learn. He's willing to work with others when the need arises, and for those he'd call a friend or ally he's fiercely loyal and devoted, willing to go to the ends of the earth to make sure they're safe.
In combat, Geralt is a swordsman through and through. Carrying two longswords at all times - steel for humans and silver for monsters, Geralt does not fight like a knight. He is a sword dancer, combining his superhuman speed and agility in a battle style that is flashy yet highly competent. Alongside his physical prowess and dexterity, Geralt can also perform feats of minor magic known as signs, granted to him by both his mutations and his Witcher training. Though his magic is limited, only knowing the basic scrapings that a Witcher requires for their trade, requiring him to use these signs cautiously and carefully. Geralt also enhances his own body in combat through the use of alchemical potions and isn't averse to setting traps against his opponent if it'd be to his benefit. Finally, Geralt is a tactician - to be skilled with a blade isn't enough to be a Witcher. One must always be prepared against their foe. If Geralt has time, he would find out information about his opponents where and if possible, tactfully exploit their weaknesses and their flaws against them.
Physical Description
A man nearly a century old, Geralt looks to be in his 50s or 60s physically, his face blemished by stray wrinkles. Standing at 6'2, Geralt's most striking feature is his eyes - golden with feline-slitted pupils, they tend to occasionally glow and glimmer in complete darkness. Geralts hair is snow white, a unique effect of his grizzly mutations. His skin is just as pallid, almost pasty and sickly-looking. His body is littered with scars, old trophies that serve as testaments to his hunts, yet the foremost reminder is the scar that runs across his eye and down across his upper cheek. Often on the path and traveling across the wilderness, Geralt often sports a short white beard (though he despises it). In terms of attire, Geralt will often be seen wearing his Witcher armor - medium armaments such as a chainmail jacket, leather gloves and boots, and padded trousers. He's almost always seen with his two swords sheathed upon his back, just as any Witcher should be seen.
