[@Lyla] - Well that took a little longer than expected, ready for you to review though [hider=Kairos Threadbare] [h1][b][i][color=44eedd][center]Kairos Threadbare[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h1] [center][img]http://orig07.deviantart.net/1c69/f/2015/182/7/e/war_priest_by_kaelngu-d8ziixv.jpg[/img][/center] [h3][b][i][color=44eedd][center]Character Summary[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h3] Becoming gifted with his magical abilities at a young Age, and coming from a family with too many mouths to comfortable feed, Kairos was quickly found a place in the military for Wresta and began to earn his keep as a medic. Despite his physical survival on the battlefield and his skills in treated the wounded soldiers of his battalion, his mental state did not cope with the situation well and led to a damaged psyche. In order to maintain his mental state, he took the words of his mentor’s outlook on the world to heart and adopted a seemingly care-free attitude. Though effective, the way he smiled even when putting his comrades back together was most times off-putting and helped him to earn his nicknames [b][color=44eedd]Name:[/color][/b] Kairos Threadbare [b][color=44eedd]Aliases:[/color][/b] Smiling Reaper, Flesh Warden.

Primary colours are brown and grays with highlights of white and red. [b][color=44eedd]Strengths:[/color][/b] Quick Witted, Analytical, Resilient to Pain, High Endurance [b][color=44eedd]Weaknesses:[/color][/b] Emotionally Dampered/Damaged, Low Strength, Slow to Adapt to sudden changes [h3][b][i][color=44eedd][center]Psychological Attributes[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h3] [i][color=44eedd][center] Intelligent * Relentless * Loyal * Strong-Willed[/center][/color][/i] [b][color=44eedd]Sexuality:[/color][/b] Open [b][color=44eedd]Relationship Status:[/color][/b] Single [b][color=44eedd]Personality:[/color][/b] Kairos has a very care-free demeanor and will almost always adopt a smile even when the situation may not call for it, such as an operating table. Though he gives of the appearance of a very relaxed individual, when he accepts a task given by a superior or an ally, he takes the responsibility seriously and will take great risks to complete that task if necessary. Though he is an individual capable of leading, he rarely seeks out such a role and is content to allow others who aspire for such positions to take them. Though Kairos can appear outwardly friendly, he is not prone in taking actions that show kindness or compassion, making those in his company deem him as reliable though cold. While Kairos can be merciless and follows a doctrine of strength and power, he is rarely cruel and avoids killing civilians or other senseless acts of violence. However his simplified world-view acts as a cover for his damaged psyche, and when that world-view becomes shaken or dislodged Kairos can become far more aggressive as he reasserts his own strength to survive. [h3][b][i][color=44eedd][center]Skills[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h3] [color=44eedd][i][center]A listing of skills, such as horseback riding or cooking. Levels include novice (1 pt), apprentice (2 pt), journeyman (3 pt), expert (4 pt), master (5 pt). Each character can spend 21 points & only two skills can be mastered. If your character knows magic, it counts as a skill.[/center][/i][/color] [list] [*] [b][color=44eedd]Magic - Weaving (Expert):[/color][/b] A strange magic that was gifted to Kairos by a divine entity. Unlike most Divine magic, it requires Somatic gestures to harness its true potential. Is often used as a healing magic but can be used offensively when required [*] [b][color=44eedd]Weapons - Sickle and Scythe (Expert):[/color][/b] Training with the Knights of Wresta have left Kairos the opportunity to try many weapons but only the Scythe (and its smaller counterparts the Sickle) seemed to come naturally to Kairos. The Scythe in particular is a devastating weapon against defensive opponents, reaching past and striking from unsuspecting angles, but makes for a poor defensive option [*] [b][color=44eedd]Medicine(Mundane Healing) (Expert):[/color][/b] On the battlefront, Kairos was left to treat many of the wounded. To help conserve his energies, he began to learn the more mundane surgery techniques used by other medics. [*] [b][color=44eedd]Battle Tactics (Apprentice):[/color][/b] Even only following the orders of far more tactically minds than his own has left Kairos will a small degree of knowledge of the flow of battle and tactics that can be used. Though no match for a general on a field of battle, he can out plan and maneuver the average group of bandits [*] [b][color=44eedd]Archery (Apprentice):[/color][/b] Though his skills with a bow pale in comparison to those with a Scythe, they are sufficient enough that he is not a danger to himself or his allies. Slow moving-targets or stationary targets at a short to medium range are a possible shot [*] [b][color=44eedd]Swordsman Spirit (Journeyman):[/color][/b] It is often said that after a swordmaster has survived many battles and duels that they begin to develop a sense of ‘Ki’ related to combat. Over a long period of observation, such a warrior can begin to sense the intentions of an opponent. As a Journeyman, Kairos can begin to guess his opponents moves after an extended dual. [*] [b][color=44eedd]Artist (Apprentice):[/color][/b] In his spare time on the field, Kairos took the opportunity to learn a talent not related to battle. With his steady hand and analytical mind, he has some talent for it. [/list] [h3][b][i][color=44eedd][center]Magic[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h3] [color=44eedd][i][center]A listing of favorite or unique spells, if any. If using the alternative magic, one spell must be replaced with the artifact that gives it. Maximum of four.[/center][/i][/color] [hider=The Basics of Weaving] The Magic of weaving involves the manipulation of ‘Threads of Life’. These threads can be defined as manifestation of ‘energy’ that accumulate both inside and along the edges of a creature’s physical structure. Living creatures and any kind of construct, body or otherwise animated creature contain a version of these thread of energy. Though these threads are invisible and intangible to the naked eye, when empowered by the magic of weaving they become illuminated by the energies flowing through them. [/hider] [list] [*] [b][color=44eedd]Mending:[/color][/b] The most basic kind of Weaving and what Kairos is most well-known for. By mending a subject’s damaged threads, Kairos is able to perform more potent healing as wounds are almost ‘knitted’ together [*] [b][color=44eedd]Rending:[/color][/b] A crude offense spell, when Kairos strikes with his Scythe he can cause it to tear at the target’s threads. The result is a wound that bleeds profusely despite its location or severity [*] [b][color=44eedd]Empowering Weave:[/color][/b] Kairos can direct his energy into another person’s threads, energizing their form and providing a general boost of energy and heightened performance. [*] [b][color=44eedd]Lifetap:[/color][/b] When in dire circumstances, Kairos has a more sinister type of attack that involves ripping at an enemy's own threads and adding the torn mass of energy to his own. Due to the dark and highly questionable nature of such an attack Kairos is cautious about using it unless necessary [/list] [h3][b][i][color=44eedd][center]History[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h3] [b][color=44eedd]Parents:[/color][/b] Both Alive - Though Kairos ensures some of his pay is sent to them, there is minimal effort to contact them [b][color=44eedd]Siblings:[/color][/b] Five Siblings, Three brothers and two sisters. Two of the Brothers also joining the Militia of Wresta though one fell in battle. The other Brother has risen through the ranks as a skilled Archer, though they are often on separate fields of battle they maintain a cordial relation. The remaining siblings are mostly unknown to Kairos, only learning of their status through the occasional letter from a parent or an update from his brother. [b][color=44eedd]Childhood:[/color][/b] Early in his Childhood, Kairos experienced a Divine event while with his parents, the strange glow that surrounding him alluding his family to its importance. When the extent of its powers were determined he was quickly enrolled into the military for the advantages his talents would bring [b][color=44eedd]Adulthood:[/color][/b] Early in his career, Kairos unit was ambushed and he was forced into combat with the rest of his comrades. Through his Captains leadership the group managed to survive but Kairos struggled with the consequences of his actions. Needing a way to maintain his sense of sanity, he clung to the Captain’s motto of ‘The Strong Survive, The Weak Die’ as a rationale for justifying the actions. Though it worked, his outlook on the world as a result of the rationalization was not healthy. [b][color=44eedd]Special Moments:[/color][/b] The stormy night where his group was ambushed, and where he made his first kills. His ascension through the ranks as his skills as a medic were proved. His first contact with the Divine entity that granted his powers to him [b][color=44eedd]Current Events:[/color][/b] As his magical abilities have grown, Kairos has explored the boundaries of life and has become curious. Along with his warped worldview, he has began to question parts of the world and believes the Artifact could potentially provide him the answers he seeks and the power to obtain them if necessary.
