“You don't need a reason to help someone.”

N A M EPagonia Calore

A G E25

O R I G I NForgotten Village of Hellion

V I S A G EPagonia  takes the appearance of a young boy, making people think that he's just a child, much to his chagrin. Pagonia  has a very light skin complexion, but not pale. His body is rather toned and muscular, most noticeable area being his abdomen, as he possess a complete set of abs, though its well hidden by his armor. He acquired his frame through his brutal training with his Master. Pagonia  stands at 5'10. 

He has golden-blonde hair which he wears short. Pagonia  has golden eyes that complements his hair. Ouranos has two main scars on his body. The first is on is right above his right eye. The second one is on the left side of his neck right where it meets the shoulder.

P E R S O N A L I T Y   T R A I T SPagonia  is a guy with very kind heart and pure intentions. Despite any troubles at his life, he continues to keep his smile truly alive and sincere, in order to seal the hope and strength in himself and in others. Pagonia  is a protective and supportive one; even if he doesn't know how to help, he will do almost anything to help his friends or unknown-to-him and innocent people. He is quite polite, trying not to be rude in conversations and/or when he is in a bad mood. He is a calm individual, which can not be driven crazy or become mad easily. On the other hand, if somebody turns him up to the boiling point, then you surely can begin your preparations for the worst things ever. But, reaching the boiling point is a hard enough task.

L I F E   E X P E R I E N C E SThe eldest of three kids, Pagonia  was born 30 minutes before his identical twin Ouranos and 10 years before Zestasia. The little town of Hellion was his home and his father sat as one of the few individuals involved with the Guild close to the village. His father took interest in teaching his twins the art of combat alongside his former master Garland Windbridge. Garland would soon become his caretaker.

Hellion was one of the many towns to face ruin during the conflicts between the Guilds and the Imperium. Luckily Pagonia had not been in town at that time but he never got a chance to say goodbye to his family (not knowing Zestasia and Ouranos had lived). Garland had already made a place for himself in the Imperium, taking in Pagonia . Anger flooded his emotions but he wasn't dumb enough to disobey Garland.
For many years, Pagonia trained under Garland's supervision. A beautiful master/student relationship that would end in tragedy, surrounded by all those that doubted the old master. Garland's longstanding condition, one considered as a judgement by the Gods, finally took him from his ward. Pagonia left the Imperium that day with Garland's sword in hand. 

The Imperium's downfall and Pagonia's destiny would soon intertwine.

E L E M E N T A L   A F F I N I T YAqua

A T T R I B U T E SDurandal: A sword passed down in his master Garland's family. The blade is made from high quality metals and is incredibly durable. Durandal is a symbol of the once noble Windbridge Family, having spent years being conditioned with magic, so the blade easily acts as a medium. A bit on the heavy side, Durandal is an elegant blade in the hands on any swordsman.

Acrobat: Pagonia has been shown to be a talented acrobat. Able to keep the opponent guessing as he moves around the battlefield. He has great speed to go with his skills, helping him evade attacks. His skills in battle are amazing that he can do impressive flips and jumps to get to his target making it difficult to get a solid lock on him to attack.

Expert Swordsman: As a young boy, Pagonia was taught a few points of sword combat. However, it was not until Garland taught him "Way of Valor" that he became an expert in the use of his master's sword. However, the second and the most important style taught to him was Way of Demon, this form is an aggressive combat form relying on a combination of power, strength, and speed. After the death of Garland, he created what he called Way of the Sparrow, the original purpose of this form was to counter long ranged magic and blasts, it is considered as an effective defensive technique by Pagonia .

Way of Valor: The Way of Valor is a simple style of combat, it was developed during the transition period from swords to magical weapons. The swordplay is simplistic and raw. In the hands of a master, the blade-work was described as "like watching water flow over the falls." In combat, this form encouraged deliberate tactics, calling for continuous, step-by-step advancement while cutting off the opponent's angles. Way of Valor was specialized towards engaging multiple opponents, the wide, sweeping motions being ideally suited towards attacking numerous adversaries. However, Way of Valor was not as useful against single opponents, as such enemies had complete mobility and could find a weakness in its's comparatively clumsy blade-work. Despite the pull to kill, the style was designed for the purpose of disarming without seriously injuring.

Way of the Demon: As a "Way of the Demon" expert, Pagonia  was always on the offensive, attacking with wide, fast, and powerful swings, constantly calling upon his magic to aid in his movements. By using magic, he could overcome his natural physical limit and be a much more aggressive swordsman as well as perform amazing feats of acrobatics, such as somersaults and backflips, not only for attack, but also to evade the attacks and strikes of their opponents. Using this form, Pagonia can move at high speeds and can rain fast blows, jumping and attacking through the air. Powerful and quick spinning attacks could be utilized from all angles, either from ground or air.

Way of the Sparrow: The original purpose of this formed as mentioned was to deflect and counter incoming range based attacks, specially magical energy blasts. Becoming the most defensive of the forms known to him. Sparrow form utilizes tight moves, subtle dodges and short sweeps designed to provide maximum defensive coverage, leaving the duelist less exposed to ranged fire. It follows the original "non-aggressive, non-lethal" philosophy of his grandfather and mother and was created out of respect for their ideologies. It utilizes motions that occurred very close to the body, in an attempt to achieve near-total protection and expend as little energy as possible while executing moves. This form stresses quick reflexes and fast positional transition. This technique minimizes the body's exposure. Since, its defensive nature can cause prolonged combat, he further added a few offensive movesets to the form. The newly modified form also requires a higher level of physical strength than the other forms. As mentioned before it was "solely" designed to protect against enemy's magical attacks and weapon strikes without compromising one's ability to launch powerful counterattacks. On the downside, while this form is great for countering several enemies, it lacks effectiveness against single opponents.

(Not learned) Way of the Dragon: Described as one of the most dangerous forms, Way of the Dragon borrows the aggressive approach of Way of the Demon and the skill to defend oneself without using much energy from Way of the Sparrow. Described by Pagonia as "the hardest form to master", Way of the Dragon is a vicious yet graceful form. The form despite being extremely aggressive is actually very erratic and unpredictable and this is what makes this form truly remarkable. Having the speed, agility and power of Demon Form and coverage, ability to deflect and defense against several assailants of Sparrow Form. It has been argued that the Dragon Form is basically an amalgam of the Sparrow and Demon form although Pagonia  refuses to share his own opinion.

Way of the Wind (Dual-Wield): Originally developed by his  great-grandfather, lost to man is the special form known as "Way of the Wind". While Pagonia has not been able to perform it yet, according to him, he has been studying his ancestor's notes and diaries and trying to recreate the lost form.

Glacies Subcinctus: The user gathers stray magical energy upon their swords, which condenses to its utmost limit and shapes itself on the end of their sword, giving it a sharp cutting edge while the temperature is lowered as to transform the blade into ice. The design of the sword when under the influence of Glacies Subcinctus is that of an extremely large broadsword which is highly sharp and durable, capable of trailing large amounts of ice in its wake, which can damage the opponent. The user is able to change the properties and composition of the spell through thoughts alone into alternate forms as long as it still counts as a "sword" - while normally, it takes upon the form of a long sword which makes it a jack of all trades so to speak, the caster is capable of changing it to shorten or lengthen the blade to get the jump on the opponent; not only this, Glacies Subcinctus can be altered further to change shape to suit the situation, as by chanting katana, the caster can make the icy blade brought into existence more suitable to slicing, and rapier makes it more suited for piercing attacks; alternate forms aren't limited to but also include a cutlass, zweihänder, and a jian. No matter the form it takes, Glacies Subcinctus seems to be completely weightless, as the wielder of has displayed the ability to make it as light or as heavy as they deem it to be suitable.
