[color=fff200]Name:[/color] Axon Lyrious

[color=fff200]Age:[/color] 24

[color=fff200]Allegiance:[/color] Imperium

[color=fff200]History (Optional):[/color] Will be discovered through RP!

[color=fff200]Personality:[/color] Axon is a bit of an odd man. He is calm and collected for most of his days, enjoying to smile and loving to celebrate with good company. Often he'll be the one to crack jokes and try to find the light in a dark situation. This could very easily be seen as obnoxious as he often tries to brighten what should most likely be a moment of concentration or concern. Though he really just doesn't have it in him, he finds it hard to take things serious or to be concerned about something when you could rather work towards solving the issue. After all it's already happened or is going to happen, mind as well keep a stiff upper lip and push on!

Though this isn't all about him... WHile he often comes off as a jovial and lay back individual he's hiding a monster inside... When things get truly dark, when he sees his companions fall or be wounded. When he grows heated he awakens the beast inside and he enters a state of rage, his mind blurring as his skills are honed further and amplified making him fight with one goal in mind, win. In this stage he needs to either let it run it's course or something massive has to happen to get him to calm down early.

[color=fff200]Tome (Color and Abilities):[/color] Axon's Tome is a vibrant red cover that is leather bound with tight lacework fixing the black trim that has ornate flourishes at each corner, tracing all along the edge and down the spine. Of which on the spine there is a red lash that rides the full length of the book. On either face of the Tome is a black obelisk that is made of various triangles and diamonds that make up the shape.

The shape his activated Tome takes is a set of War Claws that stretch up the full length of his arm. Despite each one looking organic, they are made of a very hard and durable metal that allows him to use his arms to block or deflect weapons while his fingers still bend at each knuckle and are sharp enough to cut just as well as any keen bladed sword. Black with red streaks riding up the full length they also have several spikes at each joint and several at his shoulders all pointing back with a slight curve.

Despite the heavy metal design they are remarkably lightweight allowing him to swiftly move using his rapid fighting style dancing and flowing around the field to claw, slash, and rend his foes.

The powers his Tome gives him are a tad odd given they also play in with his demenour. When he is calm and jovial they give him the domain over shadow, giving him the ability to dance and dash along trails of surging shadows further giving his graceful and swift fighting style a boost. Another ability he often uses are his shadow bolts that he casts out of his hands, shooting a shot of pure shadow energy the pierces much like a bodkin arrow and given the small and quick nature of these he often slings several at a target looking to pepper them with essentially bullets or shadow. The control of his shadows also allow him to reshape and change his War Claws to adjust them for specific uses such as longer claws for rending through several soft targets to expanding the shoulder pieces to allow him the ability to shield his body from harm or to shoulder charge a target. Finally it allows him to cast out slashes of shadow energy at a point target allowing him to cut things from afar by sending out a control slash much like his shadow bolts only with a large danger field at the expense of a slower speed.

On the other side of his power, when he is in a rage his shadow powers fade away to bring out his much more destructive, but also much more inaccurate fire powers. When he uses his Tome while in a rage his claws emit flames, burning along his arms as they become super heated and glow a vibrant red. Also in this new form all of his shadow abilities fade away only to be replaced by fire. Running along a trail of burning fire, his bolts becoming fire balls that explode into raging flames on impact, his shapechanging allowing him to fully encase his body in the flowing, burning metal as well as extend the length of his claws with pure flaming energy allowing him to burn through substances with ease. Then finally his slashes becoming made of pure fire as they cascade through the air and remain for a second on impact to light flammables on fire before exploding into a raging inferno.

Though it comes at a cost, he only has as long as he is in his rage and once he falls out of it and loses his anger he becomes incredible weak so much so that he's nearly on the verge of passing out and will be incapacitated for a good day afterwards while his body recovered from the insane amount of energy he released. Often needing somebody to help him even walk after he powers back down.
