When Bidzil sets his mind to doing something there is normally no stopping him. He can't turn a blind eye to what he sees as wrong and ends up getting involved in problems that are sometimes better left alone. For the ones that he cares for, he will fight until his dying breathe. Loves a good joke or pun. He also like to explore and doesn't mind a good fight. [b]Bio:[/b] [hider]Bidzil is a young transcendent human that was found in Trantis. Bidzil only had one wing however, and this was the first time in history it has happened, the people of Trantis saw Bidzil as a bad luck charm. He was an orphan found left outside the guardhouse, no note or anything to tie him to any lineage. He was taught from old texts how to hide his wing, but being a transcendent, everyone still knew. Many other towns heard the news of a transcendent youth coming to Trantis and wanted to know more, but the town hid him in fear of the other towns reactions. When Bidzil got older, he would run around town and swim through the waters of trantis on his own, causing mischeif. He never hurt anyone, but could be seen as a bother sometimes. Bidzil got to know one of the guards, Millan, in town well enough to where he looked up to him like a father figure. Millan would tell him stories of grand adventures, especially one about a beautiful wish granting oracle, that he swore up and down was a true story. The man inspired Bidzil, even to the point of trying to become a guard himself as he got older. Although he was denied for not wanting to risk the death of a transcendent for whatever superstitious curse that may bring, the guard did teach him how to use various weapons. Bidzil took to the blade quite naturally, and became a competent sparring partner with the guards in town. Bidzil had started working odd jobs around town as well, trying to earn enough money for his own place. While successful, it amounted to a tiny hut on the shoreline, which Bidzil was more than happy with. On his birthday, The guard said the he had purchased a gift for Bidzil, but it got stalled in Salna. If he wanted, he could run and get it, and he should be able to make it back by the time his shift was over. Bidzil eagerly went to Salna, about an hour or two's walk. He couldn't fly of coarse to only having one wing, or else he would have tried that. He picked up a package, not knowing what was inside the thin, long crate, and headed for home. The sky hard started turning darker, quite rapidly for it to be normal. Bidzil wasn't sure, but there was a dreadful feeling in the air as he picked up his pace. He ran full throttle to return home, only to arrive to a vast crater in the earth, the dirt black as night. The great lake that He had swam in for his whole life was completely empty, and the shattered remains of Trantis littered the lake bottom. There was not a soul in sight, no blood, but clothes blowing by in the wind, left behind by their owners. Bidzil ran to check the guard station on the coast. he kicked open the door to find just piles of gear and weapons where men once stood. And in the chair Millan would normally sit and used to tell him stories, was his usual red guard's cloak, the sword fallen on the ground still in it's sheath. Bidzil could not take in what had happened, it made no sense, it was too much too fast. After mourning the loss of everything he ever knew, he took with him Millan's cloak and his sword. When he left the guard station he decided to open the gift Millan got for his birthday. In it, was another sword, similar to the guard's blade, yet customized to Bidzil's liking. Bidzil equipped both, creating a way to carry both sheathes for the blades, and headed back to Salna, to report the news. Salna, however, already had a messenger visit them it seemed. There was a crowd of people gathered around a wall wailing in anguish and fear. Ten dead guards laid in a pile, and on the wall, written in their blood, read this. "A new king rises. The Grandis Empire has returned" The people of Salna already knew of the fate of Trantis. The messenger that had come to them told them as much, and warned them coming coming of a new king, to prepare to submit or be crushed like Trantis was. This enraged the guards in the area who then attacked the stranger only to be slaughtered. Once the messenger finished his sick message, he left. Bidzil stayed in Salna for a few days as a refuge, earning some money from some work, but the happy air of the city was completely dead, having lost their sister city and a portion of theirguardl guard. Bidzil ended up recalling the tale Millan used to tell him about the wish granting Oracle, and tried to find any information on it that he could. The librarian in the town shook their head at the request, but he still led him to some books on it. From what Bidzil was able to gather from the vague texts, there was something called the 'Vanishing Kingdom' that the oracle resided in, and it could only be summoned by first gathering the treasures of all the great nations and placing them on an alter. The Vanishing Kingdom will then visit Hitala, and will be stay for a week before leaving. The Oracle can grant any wish or give any knowledge to the ones who seek it, but all requests come at a price. From Salna, Bidzil traveled to Kalla village, where he thought would be a good place to start as any.[/hider] [b]Equipment:[/b] Millan's Guard Blade, Custom Trantis Blade [b]Abilities:[/b] Swordsmanship, Wing reveal/hide (though no flight), Transcendent energy attacks (when wing is revealed) [b]Extra notes:[/b] While well trained in swordsmanship and used to sparring with his towns guard, he has never had to actually take the life of someone before leaving for Kalla. Often when settling disputes, he strikes an opponent with the heavy sheathes like the Trantis guards are trained to do. The are able to do this by their weapons dual sheaths. One outer sheath that hold's the sword and sheath inside, and then the true sheath. The swords have a type of latch to keep them connected to their true sheaths, which are also made of a light metal material. The guards and Bidzil are trained to use the sheathed sword as effectively as a regular sword, thus once unsheathed, their skills with the blade become much faster. A blade with it's true sheath can still be lethal if used right.
