[/indent] [color=Maroon][b]INSTRUMENT:[/b][/color] [indent]Secret Seeker: Everyone and everything has a secret. Something deep below the surface that they seek to keep buried. The dark blade of this short 1 handed katana seems to almost whisper promises and lies in an effort to entice any such knowledge out of those who stare at it for a prolonged period. Light seems almost drawn in, the blade itself almost gives one the sense that it might sever the threads of reality. Its gleaming edge practically absorbs anything it passes through rather than cutting, gone as if devoured by the universe itself. RANK: Gold KEYWORD: Sword DAMAGE TYPE: Chaos DAMAGE: A SPEED: B SENTINEL: E SPECIAL: Secrets Exposed: Secret Seeker obtains knowledge about anything it comes into contact with, the depth of that knowledge being limited by how clean of a hit was landed. Contact with weapons or armor will allow Bardo to know information about them as if he owned it himself. A clean blow upon an enemy will give him an understanding of their strengths and weaknesses as if they were his own. Blocking a strike will give him knowledge of how best to defend against it. Attacking, repelling, or stabbing a melody will tell him the notes that make it up. [/indent] [color=Maroon][b]STYLE:[/b][/color] [indent]In Esper form Bardo merely appears as himself mostly, donning a solid black suit and blindfold, though the blindfold doesn’t impair his ability to perceive his surroundings in any way. RANK: Bronze PHYSICAL: E ARCANE: C CHAOS: D SPECIAL: The blindfold still allows him to perceive his surroundings and keeps him from becoming disoriented when moving through the air.

The papers and bits of matter seen when Bardo’s genre manifests as a form of dark matter and tend to distort light and reality in their immediate area. RANK: Silver ELEMENT: Gravity EFFECT NOTES: [Weightless [4], Suspend [4]], pull [2], Push [2], Blink [4], Shield [4], Reflect [4], Portal [4], powerful [0], Full Enhance [4], Restrain [4] SPECIAL: [b]Maximum Momentum[/b] Gives a singular rank increase to push and pull notes when cast. [/indent] [color=Maroon][b]LEITMOTIF:[/b][/color] [indent]Bardo’s blindfold serves to help keep him grounded no matter what angle he perceives the world from, ensuring he never feels a sense of vertigo or uneasiness regardless if he’s upside down or plummeting miles. RANK: Bronze [/indent] [color=Maroon][b]PR:[/b][/color] [indent]Rank: Bronze Disguise, Infrared Goggles, handcuffs Special: At Bardo’s willing the handcuffs can imitate the effect of suspend on themselves and whoever is locked up in them.

When he was younger Bardo always had to be right, and he made sure to tell everyone. He had a tendency to want others to know how much more he knew and just how wrong they were. Aging didn’t diminish these urges one bit as Bardo grew only more smug and self assured as he grew older. Bardo had a tendency to notice obscure details and memorize seemingly useless information at will, and he seemed even more drawn to things he shouldn’t know about. Bardo was always a tad bit of a loner, his family only consisted of an uncle who’d raised him since he was too young to remember, and his parents were merely distant faceless memories that he chose not to worry himself with. Bardo instead chose to concern himself with the workings of the world, seeking an education as a physicist with dreams of seeing the universe for real one day. At least until he found the book. Bardo was always someone who preferred to know the truth rather than speculate. When some of his classmates spoke of a haunted library on a rougher side of town Bardo couldn’t help but interject, much to their annoyance. On a dare, and a desire to prove them wrong, Bardo agreed to go there himself to disprove the haunting. What he found instead changed his life forever. There he found it, a dark tome, seeming to draw him in and whisper the promise of secrets and universal understanding if only he’d pick it up. Well, Bardo was never one to shy away from forbidden knowledge. [/indent] [/indent] [/hider]
