[Amon Toh]

Background: Amon Toh was the first and only son of an Aiel Wise one who was once Far Dareis Mai and a noble of dead Malkier. Seeing as his mother was far from home and his fathers homeland was swallowed by the blight the two of then lived as wonderer's always returning to a small estate in the hills of Shinar. It was here that Amon Toh Was Born; with both parents separated from their homelands and families they decided tho name him in the old tongue " The Dragons Honor." His child hood was far from laid-back. As soon as he was big enough to walk unaided his training began. He learned both the Borderlander and the Aiel ways of fighting. He learned the use of both one handed and two handed swords, how to use both short and long, staffs and spears. He learned how to fight with knives and daggers of all shapes and sizes. He learned how to use the long and short bows as well as slings. He learned the Aiel ways of unarmed fighting as well. However his training was not all martial. He was taught to read, write and speak the old tongue and how to deal with the basic math of that was needed to run an estate or a unit of men. He learned how to track game. However while his learning was of that of a noble he never learned the subtleties of the court. He had knowledge of how the different courts where ran and some of the history of both the Borderlands and the Aiel. {Including bits of what only the Wise Ones knew.} He grew fast and strong. Running around the rocky hills always climbing the steepest rockiest parts he became quite agile.

When he was 14, he was walking around in the woods around the estate when he saw the remains of some strange carvings in what he though to be boulders. He went to get a closer look and fell though the roof of a long lost storage room. He managed to grab hold of the edge and drop down into the room unharmed with the exception of a few scrapes. The room had an odd and weak glow that seemed to be coming from these round balls in the walls. The room was small with the remaining objects mostly gone and decayed. However he noticed an odd stone in one of the walls and when he went to feel it, the stone pushed in. next a huge slab that crossed most of the room started to slide away, reviling a long bundle of rotted cloth with parts of something metal sticking out. Carefully Amon examined it quickly finding what appeared to be a hilt. As soon as his hand closed around the hilt the hold length of the sword lit up briefly. Shocked but unharmed the young boy picked up the blade bracing himself for a heavy lode yet found the sword to be just as light as a normal long sword, even thou this sword was close to 5 feet long and 5 inches from edge to edge. He then climbed out of the sunken room and held the sword in both hands feeling some strange kinship with the blade. He started to try to go through the forms he knew and found that due to the swords odd shape and size he couldn’t. He thought about this dilemma for a bit and then tried to modify them to account for the length of the blade he found that it’s seemed to gain a wait with the swings and then lighten again on the return. Suddenly feeling impulsive he swung the sword against a tree not even thinking about what could happen. Looking away slightly to prevent damage to his eyes from wood chips he barleys felt the passing of the sword thought the tree. Shocked that there was such a minor reaction, he went to the tree and looked at it. all he saw was a slanting line where he thought he must of just scratched the tree some how. Then he put his hand next to the tree and felt a slight movement. he stood there open mouthed as the tree fell cut cleanly all the way though.

Amon practiced with that sword every day. He learned how to keep the sword in motion constantly with out it stopping, however his father insisted that he continue to train with he other weapons as well. He learned how to use almost anything as a weapon. Then on his 18th birthday strange things started to happen. When he and his parents would go on outings to the blight to kill shadow spawn now and then he would find blows some how deflected at the last second as if they had hit a shield. He would see a trolloc trip when there was flat ground. Sadly one day his mother started to notice theses occurrences and told him that he was beginning to channel. Before his 20th birthday his parents said he must leave and fight the shadow in the way of the Aiel. He decided to go back to the old room one last time, just for old times sake. He packed his belongings and saddled the horse his father said he should take for his journey and rode out to the place where he had found his sword. He looked though the room with the up most care. Most of what he found was useless but then he found this odd white pendent. It was about the size of his palm and had the image of a man that was twisting. No wait the man in the image wasn’t twisting he was untwisting. He felt some odd resonance with the pendent so he decided to keep it. He then left for the blight for what he thought to be his last time.

He spent the next 6 months in battles with trollocs. He found that when he would channel he would no longer feel the sickness that used to plage him afterwards and that some how the source felt cleaner when he had his pendent touching his skin. He would sometimes go alone into the Blight and other times he would join groups of Boarderlanders to hunt down shadow-spawn. He was often laughed at for his swords size people saying how was it useless but when they saw him fight and how he cut though trollocs and maddraal they soon came to respect him. However soon some of them started to notice how his luck worked, to notice all the weird happenings that would occur around him. While he could control his ability to a small degree in the heat of battle, especially when dueling with a maddraal, he would find him self casting small burst of flame. Soon people took note of this and stopped letting him join their hunting parties.

After leaving the Borderlands he wondered for a few years learning many important lessons and including to avoid cities and large crowds, after a few accidental fires. Then one day on one of the rare times he ate at an inn he heard a rumor of some place, supposedly in somewhere in Andor, for people like him to train and once more fight the shadow.

[glow=red,2,300]Hey Im done for the momnent this one is ready for approval i think(will i be able to still change this once its moved ie add more background)[/glow]

[Temanin]

As long as that pendant doesn't completely remove the taint, then I say you're approved.

And heading to the Black Tower, eh? I know I few people there.

Cheers, and good RPing.

[Amon Toh]

cool i guess the pendent then just filters away some/most of the taint
edit:
the pendent has to be touching his skin to work and he has to pull the source thougth it. he cant use as much as he could unadded but there is very little taint left.

i in tend to him being a primarly a fighter not a chaneler. his chaneling will be more suportive, ie baisc wards , improved focus,, small atacks. ect

[Temanin]

Well I only said it couldn't because just to make the Eye of the World, an entire circle of Aes Sedai channeled till they died, and that wasn't exactly a large amount of the One Power. But I'm a-okay with filtering most.

And that's another thing of yours I now want, by the way. ^^

[Amon Toh]

i was thinking that it was made around the same time as that happened right during the brakeing of the world. also the sword was forged with the one power before the brakeing

[Temanin]

I'm perfectly fine with the sword, I'm just a little hesitant on the pendant removing all of the taint. Hmm. Perhaps you have to channel through the thing to remove the taint, but it also reduces the amount of the One Power you can hold, and slowly you grow more and more accustomed to pulling through the ter'angreal and it takes you a while to realize your true potential on the One Power. *Ramble ramble ramble*

Ah, the wonders of plot devices. I say go RP some, good sir, and good hunting. ^^

[Tony]

Tsk tsk tsk. You forgot this again Temanin.

[Temanin]

Good grief. I'm losing it, obviously...

[Tony]

Naw. It's actually not that important. I think it's just fun to use. ^^
