[b]Height:[/b] 6'4 [b]Weight:[/b] 237 lbs. [b]Personality:[/b] Confident and collected, Rhodri is the shining example of a groomed upbringing. He is almost always presentable, well kempt and poised, though his abilities to be a little less direct in his choice of words leave something to be desired. He strives to be polite, but will often times wind up insulting someone without realizing the negative connotations of his words. He is also terrible at gauging the capabilities of other people, and will often assume that tasks that are easy enough for him should be so simple anyone could do it. As one might expect, when your parents are important, other important people will want to mingle you with their children. As such, it is hard for Rhodri to say that he's ever made any real friends, having been engrossed in his training and education more than anything, leaving little room for anyone else. In fact, a genuine approach of friendship made to him might leave him speechless. [b]History:[/b] Born the 3rd son of 4 to Talfryn Gwynfor, Rhodri was born into a life of great privelege, but also one of great expectation. Each son of Gwynfor was brought up with the loftiest of expectations in due line with the reputation their family upheld. Being born of the second marriage of Talfryn with Mariva Godwin, there was always a slight rift between him and his two eldest brothers that not even brotherly camaraderie could overcome, mostly since it was largely assumed the majority of the estate, inheritance, and political importance garnered from both would go only to the one deemed worthy as the successor to Talfryn. The youngest brother Brother, Morgan, and kin to Rhodri was the least focused on the competition between brothers, mostly due to his frail body and sickly nature preventing him from ever having a true chance at becoming a Song Knight. In spite of the enormous pressure to succeed placed upon him, Rhodri found great company in his and Morgan's mother. Mariva was a kindly woman who, in spite of their marriage being purely for political purposes, devoted herself whole-heartedly to Talfryn. Tensions would only grow further, as a year before Rhodri was to be enrolled into Crescendo his eldest brother's life was brought to a swift and painful end on the field of battle against a swarm of Dissonance in an effort to protect one of the Southwestern boglands. Carrying the heart of his eldest brother and greatest opponent in his heart, Rodric did all he could within Crescendo to hone himself. [b]Instrument and Weapons:[/b] For his weapons, Rhodri uses a pair of flanged maces that are hollowed in the shaft in order to drive more of the force of impact to the heads. Beyond being made of durable steel, not much is of note to his maces save for that they seem to be very well-used. In terms of an Instrument, Rhodri will use his own muscular physique as a drum, pounding on his flesh with his hands. While in his armor, he will use his maces on his armor instead in order to conduct the sound, the durable spirit armor having become accustomed to the blows. Still kinda smarts though. [b]Magic:[/b] Rhodri's magic involves extending the protection offered by his Spirit Armor to others in the form of a song that gently wraps itself around the user's allies. The spell itself has to be cast once for each individual he chooses to extend protection to, and for each extra he extends it to, it divides itself accordingly. The protection also seems to slightly boost the effects of the person's Song Magic as well.

[b]Weight:[/b] In his Spirit form, he weighs 534 lbs, while his armament form will weigh a mere fraction at 36 lbs. [b]Appearance:[/b] A draconic beast of great size, Hywel's most defining characteristics are the singular broken wing on his back, the fact that he has no legs, merely a rather short, snake-like tail, and a maw that stretches all the way to the center of his torso. He is certainly one big mouthed lizard, with an almost armor-like hide that aids him in shrugging off weaker attacks. [b]Personality:[/b] As a spirit that (probably didn't) had held great importance, Hywel is very full of himself, believing that even with his diminished strength, he is still a being that commands respect from mortals and lesser spirits...which he also deems to be every spirit he meets. In terms of morality, he is a spirit that believes that laws are made as unbreakable absolutes, and will often chastize others who break or bend societal expectations. In his words, a soul is "Most Delicious when pure" and as such he views his new life as an opportunity to no longer devour the wicked, but instead to sample the benevolent. He will encourage relationships between favorably moral allies and his master in order to curry a chance to lick at the fruits of their morality. [b]Powers:[/b] In spite of his girth, Hywel himself is fairly weak as far as spirits go in terms of magical abilities, with his only true power being to form a suit of Armor on someone that he comes into contact with. He tends to synergize better with people he believes "Taste" good, which also means that in turn the armor will become much more protective and maneuverable depending on how much he favors someone's flavor. According to him, Rhodri tastes "Somewhat Dry, with a hint of Sweet aftertaste." Given that this armor form is his only Power, the armor itself rangers from simply plate-mail quality to Juggernaut Status based on the "flavor" of the person using it. On a scale of 1-10, Rhodri himself weighs in at about a 7. On a day where he's done several good deeds, it could be assumed it jumps to 8.
