Hwei Iosusa
21 - 5'10 - DogfallsLight Bearer
Personality:
- Relaxed
- Although beating back the evil hordes can hardly be called a simple task, Hwei approaches it with a sort of carelessness that often invites scorn. Underneath his can't-be-bothered attitude, though, is a strong sense of identity and indeed, "inner peace," that fuels him in his quest to restore light to the world. His calming nature spills out onto those around him, filling them with a sense of peace in otherwise hopeless situations.
- Curious and open-minded
- Hwei has always wanted to travel the world. Sure, the conditions may not be perfect, but with the goddess's blessing protecting him, he can't think of reason to hide away at home. He is open and friendly with new people and new experiences, even when perhaps he shouldn't be. He gets distracted easily.
- Noble
While Hwei would never call himself a hero - that's a bit too serious for him - he can't turn a blind eye to the evil of the world. Witnessing much of the destruction first-hand lit the fire inside him, and watching the brave sacrifices of the light bearers convinced him to join the fight. Whenever possible, he will try to save others. He has a particular soft spot for children.
History: A dancer and acrobat of the floating circus moored in Dogfalls, Hwei enjoyed an exciting life of performing till the abyss came upon the world. Although Dogfalls was protected, Hwei could not ignore the terrible things happening around him, and sooner or later, he felt like he had to do something more than make merry to the people of the city. It was time to join the fight. An encounter with a Light Bearer only strengthened that belief, and it wasn't long after that that he received his own sigil from the goddess of light.
Spells and Abilities:
- Martial Arts
- Hwei practices a type of martial arts that serve as the basis for his dancing and can also be used for combat. His durability and reflexes are both good. He excels at hand-to-hand and one-on-one encounters, but falters when faced with multiple enemies or long-range attacks.
- Spirit Stances
- Hwei can assume certain stances that give him boosts in defense, offense, speed, and healing. They only last for a few minutes, however, and using them depletes his spirit energy. The more rhythmic and fluid his combat is, and the less damage he takes, the more his "spirit energy gauge" refills.
- Spirit Arms
- Once Hwei has saved up enough spirit energy, he can manifest extra arms to aid him in battle. They only last for a few minutes but are very powerful. (Sometimes he uses them out of combat to complete menial tasks, like folding laundry and washing dishes.)
Weapons or tools:
- Dancewear
- Traditional dancewear, consisting of sandals, loose pants, and jewelry. Hwei's weakest point is his chest, which is left uncovered, but he can use the loose scarf around his waist to bait and distract enemies. His jewelry likewise provides a shining effect which can blind enemies.
- Gauntlets
- Protect his hands from harm and pack a harder punch.
Miscellaneous Information:
Hwei is highly religious and worships quite a few "lesser" gods and goddesses. When he's not fighting or performing, he can be found praying, meditating, or performing ritual dances in front of his pocket altar, which he always carries with him.
