SSARAK STRONG, NO NEED ANYTHING OTHER THAN PANTS AND HAMMER.


Please, Ssarak has class, and skill, and maybe some intimidating muscular strength.
Ssarak Dyreackthanose

In the months following the year’s opening feast, Ssarak’s life experienced many changes, though this time, most were actually for the better. His training had brought him well into the intermediate stages of psychomancy. In addition to the normal classes, he had continued seeing Satori for private lessons to further increase his mastery of his blood. His wards had improved, his telepathy was more refined, and he had improved in the illusory tricks that could help protect him so he could work on breaking through enemy wards. The concepts of emotions and how they affected the mind were more familiar to him, which had been particularly useful in giving advice to Mar over her own struggles with emotion. He had progressed well in all of the abilities one would expect from an intermediate psychomancer, but one area in particular in which his private lessons had helped him improve was in his focused concentration. It was difficult for him to say why exactly, but the particular type of training for that aspect of his blood seemed to come more naturally to him. The concept of focusing all of his effort onto one, or a small number of tasks, of pushing himself to and beyond his limits, was something he had done for years in his physical training. To transfer those concepts to mental training was not as difficult as he had feared. In focused concentration, his abilities could be considered to be at expert level.

In his personal life, Ssarak spent as much as he could of what free time he had with Meirin. Although, considering how busy his days tended to be, that amount of time was only just at an acceptable level for him. Much of that time was during his daily exercised, which Meirin had continued to join in. Otherwise, he simply took the time to be with her when they were both available. One of the negative effects of his full schedule, however, was that he had few opportunities for earning coin. His basic needs were taken care of, but he could do little else beyond simply maintaining his present lifestyle. However, during his last mission, he had discovered a strange sword with runic markings. Upon bringing the blade to Val, she informed him that they were slots where runes could be placed, all three of which were empty. Since the sword had no other importance, he had been able to keep it, and have the runes applied. Given that he did not have the coin to otherwise upgrade his equipment, he decided to select runes that would maximize the blade’s versatility. The first two were easy for him to decide upon; they were runes which allowed him the ability to manipulate the mass of the blade, and to change its form, much like with shapeshifting in vitamancy. With that, his blade could adapt to have the properties of any melee weapon he could use, or even properties not found in standard weapons. The third, and most recent rune applied was a rune of demon bane. It had been a more difficult choice, but considering that he had accepted a mission delving into the Ravine of Demons, and the greatest enemy of the College, Kudd, had an army of demons, it seemed as if it would be a good choice. Since he now had his sword, he had been able to sell both his poleaxe, and even his dagger, to allow for the purchase of a simple metal shield. Although, it left him with little left over.

Currently, the mission upon which Ssarak was about to embark was not one he necessarily wanted to be on, but one that he felt that he needed to be on. He would have much preferred to join Meirin on Lyn’s hunt, both to help Lyn, and to spend more time with Mei. But, the importance of what they would be doing on this mission had drawn him to it. Not to mention, the wealth Tyrael was offering would give him the gold to perhaps do something he had been wanting to do for a while now. It would be dangerous, but he was as prepared as he could be.

Ssarak stood at the ready, nearby to Tyrael. He was in his armor, helmet included, with his sword sheathed at his side with a lightened weight and his shield on his back. It was not the place he would carry the shield if he wanted to use it quickly, but he did not tend to use the shield unless a great deal of protection was needed, since his armor served much the same purpose. Having both hands free allowed him more options in how he could use his blade. He had with him bags with the basic supplies the College had given him, along with items he already had, such as water containers and the blanket off of his bed.
@Fallenreaper, @Lucius Cypher, I have another question. Since Ssarak is doing a mission for the college, and doesn't have Ravine-delving supplies of his own, what kind of supplies would they give him for the mission? Ssarak would not have the coin to purchase anything beyond what he is given.
That's fine. Unless you have any more you would like Tzirret to do, we can do a skip to the next day in the next one if you like. The meeting with Meesei, Gallus, Colors, and the clan's leaders would be happening in the morning, of course, but we could also have another scene going, if you have any ideas for one. We could have everyone else gathered at breakfast with the clan, so anyone could be having a conversation, like Tzirret and La'khay about his promise, or just talking with his new acquaintances.
Without the context of their conversation M'ibasa seemed a bit confused at the sudden words of encouragement. He cocked his head to the side and shrugged his shoulders, looking at him strangely. "Um, okay. Thanks." He said quickly before returning straight back to the water.

Despite M'ibasa's confused response, Ma'tanza smiled, expressing more genuine gratitude. "Thank you for helping." She said, leaning in and giving him a quick hug in thanks. Stepping back into the water, she laid down and floated on her back once more, followed shortly by the rest of her friends.

"Maybe...it is time to relax now. That means no tackling anyone anymore, M'ibasa. Especially the clan's guests." She warned, prompting a groan from the young Khajiit.
@Freeshooter92There is only one non-GM Esyire.
@RanchGirl100Well, to anyone that shows interest, I always end up recommending the Esyire. Large dragon-people. All the races have their strengths and weaknesses, but they are clearly the coolest. But, there is a race list in the second post of the OOC. Or you could just make a race, though that would be a longer process.
@Lucius Cypher, @Fallenreaper I recall we were speaking about demon bane as the last rune slot for Ssarak's sword. He could have gotten that, right?

EDIT: With the other two being the mass manipulation, and shape manipulation.
I need to figure out what all the things are that Ssarak can now do. He has been sticking with those private lessons consistently.
With Tzirret's surrender, Ma'tanza released her grip on his head and rolled off of him, though she had to shove M'ibasa in order to get him to let go. The other two watching the fight laughed and applauded as it ended, and Ma'tanza quickly brought herself up to her feet. Extending her hand down to Tzirret, she helped him up as well, then gave him a pat on his back and a smile.

"Ma'tanza is sorry for hurting your neck. It just takes a lot to hold you down, mister werewolf." She laughed. Briefly, she looked down at her brother, who appeared to be quite excited from his victory, then smiled back at Tzirret. "Thank you." She continued, though this time in Cyrodilic. "This one's brother needed that victory. She likes to give him some encouragement every now and then. He just started his training, but he isn't very good yet, and doesn't win his fights very often. Ma'tanza likes to keep his spirits high."

As Ma'tanza spoke, her brother simply looked up at the two with a strange expression. Evidently, he was not familiar enough with Cyrodilic to understand the language.
