Name: Damian "Blades" Gerald

Age: 24

Magic: [hider=Blades Magic]This magic allows the user to summon ethereal magic sword blades to attack in a number of ways, ranging from raining them down on a foe to causing them to erupt from the ground in a line.

Blade Change swords:

Ares Blades- Basic straight blade swords, each with a single prong on the hilt of each to allow for a disarming attachment for opponents who also use a sword or similar weapon. Increases Damian's survivability. [url=http://i48.tinypic.com/15xan4j.jpg]Ares Blades[/url]

Hermes Blades- Shorter swords with a dagger blades coming out the bottom of the hilt, these blades were designed for speedy combat at close range and as such give Damian a boost in movement speed. The dagger blades allow for more versatile reverse hand grip attacks and follow throughs.

Hercules Blades- These are Damian's strongest blades short of the Armegeddon Blades, being twin claymores that can fire off blades at will if Damian lets it. Increases Damian's strength, allowing him to hit harder. [url=http://orig01.deviantart.net/99f4/f/2009/036/3/3/glacial_sword_by_shift_expectations.jpg]Hercules Blades[/url]

Armageddon Blades- These are the ultimate blades that Damian can wield, resembling the cutlasses that he arrived to Phoenix Wing with except for a couple of changes. The edge of each blade are now jagged along their length and the outer face of the knuckle guards are now sharpened to a lethal edge, though they can be blunted for capture purposes. Gives a boost to all of Damian's natural abilities, but he can only maintain them for a short time because of the stress it puts on his body to use them.

Skill Locks:

Skill Lock Alpha-This skill lock blocks access to several more powerful versions of Damian's spells and the spells Sonic Thrust and Ragnarok Blade. When released, his normally Orange magic energy and seal become green, indicating that he is now using more powerful spells and is, himself, more powerful.

Skill Lock Omega- Theis skill lock blocks access to even more powerful versions of Damian's spells and the spell Judgement Strike. When released, the green magic energy and seal become black, indicating a further increase in power.

Hidden Skill Lock Delta Breaker- This skill lock's existance is currently unknown of by Damian and blocks access to the most powerful versions of Damian's spells and the ultimate blade spell Shatter: Ten thousand blades. When released the black magic energy and seal become a bright white with a red undertone, indicating the final powerup and a whole new level of magic. Must be using the Armageddon Blades to even consider unlocking, but will eventually be able to without them. Large energy drain from ultimate spell, no magic energy left after use.[/hider]

Magic Level: S

History: Damian was born to parents who were both enlisted in the Fiore Royal Army. His father was a Captain with a brilliant tactical mind and his mother a compassionate sergeant serving in another regiment. His childhood consisted of following his mother's regiment around and spending time with his father when the two were on leave, with weapons and hand to hand training filling much of the family's time. When he turned eight, his mother was transferred to his father's unit and they spent more time together, with Damian enlisting, unofficially, at the age of fourteen.

Two years later, when he turned sixteen, tragedy struck. During a skirmish with some monster's, his father was killed and his mother fatally wounded. In the stress of the moment, Damian unleashed a hailstorm of ethereal sword blades that laid waste to the monsters and gave the Royal Army the time it needed to gather up the dead and wounded and fall back. As his mother died in a hospital tent, she held his cheek in her hand and said, "My son, your father and I love you very much. And for that reason I will ask you to find a Mage's guild to join and learn control of your powers. Go on to help rebuild what once we destroyed." The light faded from her eyes and the arm fell limp. Giving his teary eyed promise, the young Damian set out to find a guild, training with his magic at every chance he could grab.
