[b]Name:[/b] Tyden Konrad [b]Nickname, if applicable:[/b] Ty [b]Age:[/b] 29 [b]Appearance:[/b] [img=http://s6.postimg.org/67239wq69/Warrior.jpg] [b]Home Country:[/b] Tyden comes from the island of Seisau, located deep in the south. Seisau is one large island, which used to be part of the mainland millions of years ago but seperated and moved further into the ocean ever since. The only way in and out is by boat. The landscape is dominated by a vast rainforest with very diverse wild life. This diversity was found to be very attractive by those that study wild life as well as those in search for new cures to various diseases. The people of Seisau where always careful not to destroy the diverse flora and fauna located here. Seisau's primary strength is it's navy, one of the largest in the world. They do not have an army, since they never really needed one. They do have however, a peacekeeping force that keeps things in order on the island. Seisau is a military state, ruled by the navy, who disposed of the last king, a power hungry tyrant, 5 years ago. The island only has 5 cities.

[b]Background:[/b] Tyden was born in Seisau as the son of a blacksmith. His mother died after giving birth to him. He was a lonely child and had no brothers or sisters. Twenty two years ago the king of Seisau, tired of the continous threat represented by the children of the Shade, decided to create a group of specially trained people to hunt down these magic users. Tyden was one of those chosen to be the first hunters of Seisau. Like all other candidates, he was taken away from his family at the age of 7 and sent to the training camps, where he was trained to become a hunter. He was subjected to the grueling, and sometimes inhuman training that was instituted by the king. For all hunters, graduation came at the age of 19, when they were given an knife and sent out in the wild to survive for a week. They weren't supposed to kill themselves or something like that. Just survive. And that proved to be no easy task in Seisau's lush rainforest that had dangers at every step. At the end of the week only three quarters made it back alive. Tyden was among them. From that point forward Tyden and his fellow hunters concentrated their lives solely on hunting down any magic users located throughout the territory of Seisau and bring them to justice. Many were captured in this matter. Punishment was death, either by decapitation, incineration or torture. All of these executions were public. Every time one or more magic users were killed, their execution was transformed into a real spectacle in the towns of the island. Despite the genocide of magic users in Seisau, the ordinary people living in the island see them as heroes and protectors of good and they were also treated like kings. When Tyden recieved the invitation to come to Adin he saw this as an oportunity to see how the outside world is like and what kind of danage magic users have done there. So he accepted and the next day he went off. [b]Strengths:[/b] Agility - During his training as a warrior and hunter, Tyden focused primarily on speed, agility and fast reaction, leaving strength for 2nd place. Resilience - An important part of Tyden's training was represented by pain tolerance. He was taught, through torture, to withstand as much pain as his body allows him to. Hand-to-hand combat - Tyden is deadly as long as he has a blade in his hand. He is also skilled in some form of kickboxing, originally developed in Seisau that also allows the use of knee and elbow techniques beside punches and kicks. [b]Weakness:[/b] Will PM in a sec.

It's not his fault though. He was raised that way.
