Name: Meridian Cervani
Age: 32
Class: Assassin
Build: Large medium build. Tone makes him stronger than he looks.
Hair: Silver, wrapped back in a traditional martial arts style ponytail.
Eyes: Silver
Clothes: Black...always black. Black Gi pants adorn his legs, tightened by a band at the bottom....while a meshed shirt, also black, encompassed his chest. Black guantlets, flash-forged steel and covered with true dragon scale., adorned his wrists...used in blocking weapons on the attack as well as added strength when attacking. Black robes were worn over this, though they may not be worn in more rubbed places. Silver trim adorns the robes, runes...not exactly having any power, follow along the outside. Boots were made of black dragon scale....
Weapons: Main weapon consists of a Dato Katana. Four and a half feet long, with long scribes cut into blade telling of his past, of battles....a running account for those worthy enough to defeat him....or...kill him. Extremely sharp, made by his teacher...a legendary swordsmith, it seemed to have a spirit of it's own....having yet met it's match. Talons made of Dragon scale permanantly adorn his fingers, a rite of passage fixating them to his fingers. Incredibly sharp, he still keeps to his sword skills in combat...using them only in his specialized style of martials arts in hand-to-hand. Leaf-bladed knifes adorn his chest, and waist...18 in all. 6 visible on a strap on his chest, 12 around his waist. These were merely used for fleeing enemies, those two cowardly to face him. Tri-blade, formed into the wings and head of a dragon, lay hidden in the tip of his ponytail....another implement of his martial art style.
Abilities: His martial arts style gives him select abiliies, such as preternatural strength and suprising speed. These are not constant however, and can only be used during the heat of battle...and when the martial art is used. Basic elemental magic, mainly consisting of the elements. His spirit-infested blade is nothing magical, nothing due to it's enourmous size it must allow the blade to pass through any object relentlessly to avoud being useless.
Other abilities/attributes: Due to the rites of passage within his sect, and the symbolic, honorable hand to hand combat with a dragon before being blessed with it's spirit....he as well as heightened senses. The talons become a gift of the Dragon, a symbol of honor and bravery in the face of overbearing life risk. Hearing, sight and smell were more overpowered and heightened than the rest...for the rest were useless. The symbol of his sect, the Drao-kin, lay burned into his arm....as well as the three large scars going across his entire chest from the ritual battle with the Dragon.
Personality: A loner in question, he keeps to himself above all. More adapted to the shadows more out of comfort than necessity, he still greeted anyone to approach amiably and friendly....a gentleman in all cases. Honorable to a fault, he reveres the style of bushido overall....to where an opponent hold shonor above combat and never attacks an opponent's back.
This style has been outdated since ancient times, due mainly to many unhonorable people combating. Quite a qeustionable trait, and one that ties with his honor, is his willingness to challenge his opponent to single combat, without any weapons. Again, a shifting of his training in the art of Drao-Kin, or the Dragons Spirit....a deadly martial art that few master, and even fewer have heard of.
Background: Born in the secluded town of Arkasis, he was raised by the Monks there. Never knowing his father, and even his mother....for she died as soon as he was born, the Monks took them in as their own. Raising them in their select martial art, Drao-Kin, they saw in him the sole hope that they had for their village. Raised honorably, he was prized for his calmness under pressure....which within this martial art was rarely found among those learning. Completing his full trainingg at the age of 19, having spent over 10 years honing himself, he bid good-bye to his new family....and went out to the world as the only honorable assassin. Now having spent over 10 years in his trade, he has a reputation as a strange one....but an assassin who has never missed a mark. His money he sends back to the village, which prospers under his care as the Head Monk has died. Being named in his place...he will do all he can to protect it's honor.....

~Silver orbs gazed about this dismal abyss, shaking his head slightly as robes were packed into his satchel. How very annoying...it seemed that fool was wrong in his directions after all. Moving further through the swamp, heightened senses overwhelmed by the stench within...he stepped through the foul water...~
~Further in, sparse trees scattered about the wasteland....it seemed neverending. A mental shrug, and he continued on....senses slowly clearing as he sighed softly. He would need to get another job soon, even though there was a large enough sum at Arkasis to last many, many years. He did not wish to fall upon his duty as Head Monk, and it would soil him to do so. Light scent filled the air, almost a relief from the stench...but wilde all the same. Gazing about he growled softly, silver orbs seemingly swirling within his visage as he stopped...and gazed about...~
"Be you friend nor foe, show yourself..!!"
~He slipped into a stance...taloned hands curled into dragon's paws as he awaited...no movement seen, though the scent was close. He watched and waited....Blade draped across slim back within easy reach, the soft singing keening through the air that it created...the soul within....~
(3 a.m here, sorry about the intro. I think the double kill is two see both techniques, since this is a fight to see if I become a trainer...) |
