It is difficult to comprehend what may lie within this code of conduct that he follows, but all will agree that he is fair in all his assessments when addressing a situation. He is a decision-maker, strategist, warrior, and thinker. Syn holds no mercy to those who combat against him or he feels they are wrong in a certain action. It is this conviction that he holds himself accountable with in all assets of his.[/color] [b]Biography:[/b] [color=silver]Syn was born under the Oakheart Sovereignty and matured into a knight of renowned status during Jane Oakheart’s reign. She would coordinate a rebellion to take place in the middle of Ethelon, this event would shift Syn’s line of thought as his world would be turned inside out. What he had been conditioned to believe unfolded before him to be untrue and proven to him by his own Princess. Soon after these events he would be assigned to hunt down other knights who defected with the Princess. In good conscious, he knew he could not bring himself to kill other knights, who he had trained, trained with, and fought next too. Instead Syn would break his oath to the Oakheart Sovereignty and was introduced to bounty hunting by a friend of his who had been receiving contracts from the Heaven’s Sky at the World Court. Syn would join his friend for a few years fulfilling contracts for the World Court. These contracts included artefact hunting, bounty hunting, courier service, personal escorts, etc. Five years into providing services for the World Court, Syn’s friend was killed in a conflict between two city-states that The World Court was trying to mitigate violent escalation. Unfortunately, the mission was unsuccessful and Syn was left with taking his friend’s role as Captain of the “Aeon Rise”. The ship had too much sentimental value and had already been modified to fit Nasargiel; the dragon who has never left Syn’s side since his days with the Oakheart Sovereignty. [/color] [color=silver]Skills/Abilities/Talents: [/color][list] [*][b]Acrobatic:[/b] [color=silver]Syn is built from years of conditioning the body to take immense physical pain. It is one of the many focuses during one’s training to becoming a knight and dragon rider for the Oakheart Sovereignty. This type of training is paired with acrobatics, sustaining long durations of muscle exertion in order to perform a purpose. “Find the state of balance in your body, through peace in your mind, with blood on your hands.” - Syn’s Mentor, Valius Dregger.[/color] [*][b]Ship Mastery:[/b] [color=Silver] Syn has the ability to read the weather, navigate the skies, steer the ship, and command others with complete assertiveness through his decision making. He is experienced, unwavering, and has a dominant aura that surrounds him. His strong ability to fly and lead a crew is without question.[/color] [*][b]Drake Riding:[/b] [color=Silver]Syn was once a knight of the Oakheart Sovereignty, his training provided him the methods to ride a dragon. In his years spent with the Sovereignty, he has been riding the same dragon that goes by the name of Nasargiel.[/color] [*][b]Hand & Sword Mastery:[/b] [color=Silver]Syn does not prefer the gun toting life, he does find them honorable as it requires two individuals to disassociate with the experience that is a duel. He feels that when fighting another man or woman for the sake of purpose and to keep your own life, if done with a blade or hands, it becomes a personal experience for both involved, bonding is created, and a level of respect can be formed. This allows for the loser to accept defeat by a stronger opponent. This is the way Syn believes fighting should be done, but he is also aware of the cowardice methods that exist.[/color] [*][b]Telekinesis (Artefact Trait):[/b] [color=Silver]During one of Syn and his friend’s expeditions to recover a few artefacts for the Heaven’s Eye, Syn kept one. A ruby red stone with purple canals or veins stringing throughout it, encased in a small gold locket. This locket hangs around Syn’s neck and amplifies his electromagnetic field to be able to pull and push objects from a distance.[/color] [/list] [color=Silver]Weaknesses:[/color][list] [*][b]Inept Gunslinger:[/b] [color=silver]]Syn is not very good with the gun, he in fact dismisses them altogether as a method of taking another life. He views them as a cowards device for destruction.[/color] [*][b]Inept Tech User:[/b] [color=Silver] Syn is not current with most of what is being brought out into the world through technological advances. Therefore trying to use it can be quite difficult for him to comprehend. The only tech he is really familiar with is the tech on his ship.[/color] [*][b]Dragon’s Bond:[/b] [/list] [color=silver]There is a mental and spiritual connection that man experiences when taming their dragon. It is a bond that cannot be expressed through words and most will not relate to what the words are expressing anyways, unless they themselves experienced it. This link so to speak that occurs is what expands into a collective thought box for both the rider and dragon. It enables them to communicate without speaking a language through voice, but instead on a separate channel. The drawback of this is when the rider’s dragon experiences pain, because this same experience will resonate within the rider.[/color] [color=Silver]Equipment:[/color][list] [*][b] Revenant Guard Rapier:[/b][color=Silver]A sword taken off the corpse of a dead pirate slain by the hands of Syn. The rapier is said to have belonged to a secret organization that had vaulted many artifacts. The organization had guards to keep watch over these vaults, and these guards were of immense magical and physical prowess. The sword was first discovered in a cave by a treasure hunter when hunting for rumored artifacts, stolen by a pirate, and taken by Syn.[/color] - [b]Physical Attributes[/b]: [color=silver]The sword is slender in appearance with a guard that umbrellas over the handle at 25%. Where the knuckles would be located if holding the handle, there is an extension from the hood of the umbrella guard that curves out and back in toward the bottom of the handle. The curved guard for the fingers and knuckles has an existing curved blade that follows the contour of the guard providing the option to punch with a blade other than just swing. The guard is black with gold vines and flowers swirling across it. The handle is oak red with a silver band in the center of it that divides two equal lengths to give a sense of position with your hands if using two to wield it. The total length of the sword is 3’10” and about 12” belongs to the handle.[/color] [*][b]Heart Locket:[/b][color=Silver]The heart locket was discovered by Syn when hunting for artifacts. When he opened the locket, it displayed a stone amplifying one’s ability to manipulate objects from a distance. The interesting part is that when used, the wearer can feel the power of origin pulling or pushing from their heart.[/color] [/list][/hider] [color=Silver]Other:[/color] [hider=Nasargiel] [u][b]Nasargiel[/b] [/u] [img]http://wallup.net/preview/?wallpaper=artwork-dragon-fantasy-art-concept-art[/img][/hider]
