[hider=Notia Cragsky] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/4WEW3C8.jpg?1[/img][/center][hr] [b]Name:[/b] [url=http://i.imgur.com/6hKNeOd.jpg]Notia Cragsky.[/url] [b]Age:[/b] 18 ½ . [b]Gender:[/b] Male. [b]Race:[/b] Human. [b]Nation:[/b] Astopol. [b]Appearance:[/b] [url=http://i.imgur.com/aYNdcoy.jpg]Notia[/url] is a stoic-looking youth at first glance. His serene green eyes and blond hair are often reminiscent of the Astopol’s scenery. Rural and full of a quaint, transcendent peace. He stands at a height of 6’0” (182.88cm) even and can often be seen wearing an unorthodox though somewhat rugged and worn white mantle. His clothing can vary between his military uniform and casual clothing, Though usually he’d be seen sporting a black shirt, fit likewise-colored jeans, and hard-sole boots. [b]Personality:[/b] Notia is deeply indebted to his mother and by association to The Goddess of Miracles. So he shows undying loyalty to both. At his core, Notia is a rash, hardworking swordsman whose discipline and willpower has given birth to a powerful sense of duty. To mask his impulsiveness, he has adopted a quiet strength. He rarely speaks and more often than not will be the first to leap to someone’s defense. His mother, by nature, cultivated a empathetic sixth-sense in him. One that at times can make reconsider his actions midway and causes hesitance. Its this bad-habit that encourages the fear of failure inside him. Besides this, he has a hard time trusting newcomers into his life and often looks for betrayal in others. In their words, actions, or lack thereof. [b]Biography:[/b] [list][*] At the age of 16 his elder sister: Relena Cragsky and father: Lodall Cragsky was honored for their part in averting a small crisis. Seen as heroes in the eyes of his people, Notia too places them on a pedestal. To him, they were too bright to look upon. He begins his training with Lodall and Relena. He shows promise but is often neglected in order for Relena and Lodall to sharpen their skills on [i]worthy[/i] opponents. He begins to recede into himself, showing less and less interest in the affection of his mother: Ecva Cragsky. [*]Now 18, Relena leaves home in order to participate in upscale tournaments. She tells Notia to take the chance to grow stronger. Lodall, without Relena to distract him puts his all into training Notia. Father and son forges a bond for the first time; Notia finally feels seen. [*] Word of Relena’s death reaches the Cragsky home. She lost to a particularly vicious swordsman who used a vicious pale-blade. Lodall Cragsky leaves in order to avenge his daughter’s death. With tears in her eyes, Ecva senses a disturbance in Notia’s silent and cold goodbye. 3 months Notia heartlessly blurts out that Ecva was never like [i]them[/i]. She doesn’t dispute his claims but instead embraces them. She argues legitimate claims of harmonious balance, tender kindness, and unseen strengths. [*] 7 months pass without disturbance. Ecva sits out on her cobblestone porch often to watch Notia practice his elegant, complicated sequences. Relena returns with a stub where her left arm should be along with their father’s sword. Notia grows depressed for a year and half. He joins Astopol military to distract himself. Impressed with his natural talent, they test to see if he’s compatible with Talentium, which resulted in a phenomenal success. [*] Notia turns 17, still heavy with emotional baggage. Ecva and Relena takes him to the nearby monastery. They spend an entire week there. Ecva speaks of Lodall’s grisly determination. Relena, who still held capable skill with a blade, sparred with Notia in a almost kind-manner; recounting Lodall’s signature moves and philosophies. In the end, the two managed to exorcise Notia of his sadness. [/list] [b]Abilities:[/b][list][*] [b]Daring Sky |[/b] A sword skill that allows him to instantly defend against perceived attacks, transcending both space and time. This ability operates on a surreal version of muscle memory, usually consisting of pre-programmed defensive and offensive tactics (ie. A sequence of learned parries, dodges, or disarming techniques.)[list][*]Recognized by the prismatic undertone behind his green eyes. [*]Manifested from his desire to be greater than his father. [*]Lasts only two seconds at a time. [/list] [*] [b]Relena! |[/b] A sword skill that doubles the strength of his blows with every consecutive clash that lands on his opponent. [list][*] The sword must be held in his left hand. Manifested from his desire to honor his sister's sacrifice. [*] His eyes have a prismatic undertone to them. [*] If he swings and misses or waits over a minute to attack, the multiplier resets. [*] He attacks another target besides the focus of his (current) multiplier, the multiplier resets. [*] If he receives a [b]direct[/b] blow, the multiplier rests.[/list] [*] [b]Boundless Sky |[/b] A sword skill that concentrates and cultivates his willpower to a phenomenal degree, to the point that it allows him to mutate physically. His physical attributes are all quintupled.[list][*] A prismatic glow can be seen emanating beneath the skin. His hair grows wild, shoulder-length and changes to a unnerving white. [*] Manifest from his desire to protect his mother. [*] In spite of his unnatural boost in physicality, this ability snatches his will to fight further. [*] He has a time-limit of thirty seconds.[/list][/list] [b]Important Items:[/b][list][*] Cragsky | His Talentium katana. [*] Relena’s Charm | A solid slate of gold that hangs from the hilt of Cragsky. [*] Ecva’s Earring | A indigo crystal that hangs from his right ear. It holds the ability to heal him once a day.
