ABILITIES: Hal is only human, so he has no supernatural powers or abilities. Physically, Hal is of average strength and agility, though he gets winded a bit quickly in strenuous activity. He is a decent fighter with a sword and shield, eventually going on to be known as England’s great warrior king- but he has a few years yet to reach that pinnacle. Right now, Hal can only be considered average and able. He has exceptional alcohol tolerance as well, despite his frame. Considering his upbringing, Hal has a strong education, fluent in both English and French and well learned in writing, arithmetic, though his attention span wavers and he has difficulty keeping focus. He needs to really force himself to concentrate, but when he does he is an exceptional student. He has very strong political views, believing in a strong military force to intimidate opposing kingdoms rather than bend to the will of others. But he can be a good negotiator, provided the situation ends in his favour.

FIRST-PERSON JOURNAL SAMPLE: (network post, re: superhero curse)

I do apologize, as I realize the hour is quite late indeed, and more likely than not there are plenty of you in need of catching up on lost beauty sleep. It will not take long, I assure you, I only make a small request.

As a result of recent ... shall we say, capers, it would appear that I find myself in need of a tailor, or seamstress. For some reason, I was entirely convinced that I could fly, but in order to do so, I was in need of- well. A cape. Suffice to say, my efforts were in vain, and I've now utterly ruined a prized possession of mine.

It would be thoroughly appreciated if someone could repair the damage I've caused to the poor thing. While I currently have little means of payment, surely we could reach some agreement.

I thank you for your time and consideration. You've my utmost gratitude.
