Physical Description


Pahoran Rayunia is as much an embodiment of his race as are any of his brothers. As one first looks at him the most noticeable aspects are his Avialae attributes. His seven feet and three inches of height that has him towering over other race, but fairly average among the Avialae and his own kin. His second most prominent feature the broad white feathered wings. When fully stretch they reach a good 20 feet. He usually keeps them folded either behind him or wrapped around him as a type of cloak.

After one notice the Avialae heritage other features begin to come through. Pahoran’s face shows aspects his maternal lines. One would normally call him a half human and half Hytori. His skin is fair but with an almost inner glow and not the sickly pale found among humans. Thought his skin is relatively clear of imperfection there is just enough hint at his human ancestry. His slightly angular eyes are a brilliant ice blue also a hint of his Hytori heritage. His hair with its dirty blond color was a loud announcer to his human heritage. He also trims it short to help with his combat lifestyle.

Pahoran has a handsome face with his piercing blue eyes. While his coloring has strong hints of his
Hytori heritage as does his pointed ears. His face is a beautiful mixtures of Hytori and human facial structures and doesn’t seem to really seem to favor either.

Pahoran has a few scares from going up and his rigorous fighter training. Though they were well tended so they are just faint lines the one has to be up close to see. Most of them are on his hands and if you can see them up close and with out gloves you can see them.

Personality


Pahoran Rayunia is not what people expect him to be. One the surface the young man is energetic and active, one would even say he is a go getter. Most people don’t think he has much depth but in reality he has a strong moral code.

Pahoran enjoys traveling but doesn’t have that nomadic bug that seems to have affected his family. This is part of the reason he has joined the sky guard. It allows his to keep practicing but let’s him stay in one place.

Pahoran at this point really isn’t sure which path he wants to take. Either a fighter or a mage. He has an interest in both, but deep down he also has an interest in art. Ultimately what path he will choose is still open.

History


Pahoran Rayunia was born to Bapona and Ruthora Rayunia. He was born in the Citadel of Light in the year 100 during the Age of Steel. He was born to two Knights of the Dawnmatryr. Pahoran actually come from a long line of Knights. His father’s father was a knight and his mother’s line went back generations. The baby was the fifth child to his parents. They lived peacefully in the citadel for a few years and then the Imperium descended upon the fortress and besieged it.

To this day Pahoran still remembers parts of that time. The citadel was holding against the Imperium but it wasn’t pleasant for one so young to be confined. He made the best of it and had a pleasant early childhood. Then came those final days when the citadel fell. His family was prepared to fight but was instructed to depart. As a family of knights they could support and train each other in case the worse happened. So it was that the Rayunia family slipped of the Citadel and fled north.

The journey wasn’t easy and Pahoran’s family didn’t abandon their values. Pahoran’s older siblings were still trained to become knights. The family mostly worked as mercenaries as it allowed them to move from place to place with out anyone paying attention. After all who would expect the Dawnmatryr to work as mercenaries. Though they were selective about what jobs they took always sticking to one time jobs that involved bettering a local situation.

So it was that Pahoran continued to be taught the ways of the knights but also at the same time he learned how to fight as his brothers taught him how to defend himself. He was also exposed to culture as they traveled. After a couple of years they finally found themselves Kalzasi which had been their destination the whole time. Pahoran’s grand father was able to meet with his old contacts from before he left and while he had citizenship ship still was able to get it for his children and grandchildren.

So the family settled in. Pahoran grew up in the duel cultures of the Knights and Kalzasi. In Kalzasi Pahoran’s youngest brother was born. The woman in the family set up a wagoneers company where they would transport good to and from the city. While the men set up a mercenary band that mostly took employment guarding the wagons.

Pahoran went through all of this but thrived with the challenge and the training that occurred behind the surface story. He was a member of the family and happily took the combat lessons and the hard training just as he had seen his older siblings do. It was when he turned 18 that his mother, a spell forged in her own right, made him a Reaving rune. It was a grueling ordeal but much battered Pahoran emerged from it as a Reaver and on his first step to knighthood.

Eventually Pahoran also descended into the Warrens to prove to the city he was a man. Again a brutal test but when he emerged he was accepted by Kalzasi and his parents officially made him a knight. It was at that time Pahoran decided to join the sky guard and not the family business. His mother, a loving but strong willed matriarch was disappointed but his father approved. So it is that Pahoran is the first to try something new in the family.

Arcane Ledge

First Arcane Taken: Reaving

Level: Apprentice
Received: Character Setup - See History
Location: Between shoulder blades.
Pacts: 1st: Longsword; 2nd: Pistol

Novice Techniques

Pact

The foundation of a reaver’s powers is the ability to form the Pact. A Pact should only ever be performed on a mundane weapon or soul cairn artefact. Attempting to form a Pact with a pre-existing runeforged artifact and other such objects is a recipe for disaster and something only the most esteemed masters can hope to achieve, even then there is only a slim chance of success. Reavers gradually grow to be able to maintain several Pacts as they progress in power. Pacts can be formed with: Blades, Bows, Maces, Polearms, Arrows, Shields, even Guns. If a player has a question about whether or not an object can be formed into a Pact Weapon, ask a moderator. The rule of thumb is that it should be something that is intentionally designed to be an instrument of war and battle. Pact weapons are an extension of the reaver. They spend a considerable amount of time doused in the wizard’s aether and even being housed within their very soul. As a result of this, they are very unique magical objects. Over time, a pact weapon’s appearance will begin to take on physical traits that reflect beliefs that the wizard may hold or certain attributes about them. While purely aesthetic, a reaver’s pact weapon says a lot about them and their journey as a reaver in general.

Materialize

By tapping into the power of their rune, the reaver opens the door for their weapon to manifest in the physical realm. It costs a reaver next to nothing to simply manifest their individual pact weapons. A materialized pact weapon will remain in the physical world until it is actively dismissed by the wizard, shattered or dematerialized.

Dematerialize

The wizard recalls their pact weapon into themselves. Many reavers brace themselves as the weapon instantaneously dematerializes in totality once recalled. They are then subject to the full force of the pain induced by the act. If able, most reavers meditate before recalling their pact weapons into themselves in order to mitigate the severity of the experience. As a result of this, most reavers build up extensive meditation skills and develop a high tolerance for pain. A pact weapon will dematerialize on its own if too far from the reaver.

Returning

Pact weapons are continually tied to the wizard they are bonded to. By reaching out across this bond, the wizard can return their pact weapon to their side at will unless unable to do so. The pact weapon does not inherently possess the ability to pass through solid objects and thus it can be blocked from returning to the wizard’s side if summoned in this manner. It does not dematerialize and then rematerialize in the wizard’s hand unless they actively will it to do so. Dematerializing a pact weapon will induce its effects on the reaver, always.


Apprentice Techniques

Projection

Projection is a means by which the reaver can channel their awareness through their pact weapon. It becomes a proxy for their sight and hearing though they are only capable of perceiving up to a limited range. The pact weapon must be placed wherever they are attempting to project their awareness. While projecting, the wizard is blind and deaf to their immediate surroundings until such time as they cease projecting.

Sanctuary

An evolution of dematerializing but one that requires a specific set of circumstances, the power of sanctuary was developed to lessen the effects of dematerialization with pact weapons. The reaver initiates this by stirring their aether into motion and slowly opening up themselves to recalling their pact weapon into themselves. In order to mitigate the experiences written upon the aether of the blade and thus reduce the amount of pain one feels upon recalling it, the reaver must give the weapon new experiences. This is achieved by entering a slow, meditative series of steps with their weapon. The sanctuary lasts as long as the wizard has the strength to sustain it but must be undertaken for double the length of time of the fight in which the pact weapon was used. It is a strong tool but one that must be balanced with the mage’s own fatigue and overall wellbeing. There is a time and place for this technique and in the heat of battle is not one of them.

Varnish

The ability through which a reaver can channel other forms of personal magic through their pact weapon. The reaver must be touching their pact weapon in order to first bestow a varnished ability upon it. Channeling the power of the Rune of Reaving, the reaver partially dematerializes the pact weapon. They then subject the pact weapon to the magical effect they wish to varnish it with. The aether of the weapon will retain this arcane form of programming and will then be able to reproduce that specific ability until it is fully dematerialized. The varnish will only allow the weapon to manifest the specific ability it is varnished with. The properties of dragonshards can be applied in this same manner. All varnishes will dissipate once the weapon is next dematerialized and must then be reapplied upon being materialized again. Activating a pact weapon’s varnished ability is the same as using the ability oneself in terms of aether expenditure.

Morphosis

A Reaver's relationship over the weapons with which they form a Pact is a unique thing. Nothing quite displays this uniqueness than the ability of Morphosis. Through Morphosis, the reaver can alter the physical structure of the weaponry they have formed a Pact with. The reaver partially dematerializes their pact weapon and morphs its physical form into the shape desired. The caveat to this is that it must be of the same family of weaponry and it must be a weapon that the reaver has knowledge of in terms of use. For instance, a reaver can take a basic longsword and introduce a serrated edge to the blade provided they have used or studied a longsword with a serrated edge. This ability, above all, is a key reason why reavers tend to be so diverse in their knowledge of weaponry and fighting styles.[/b]


Second Arcane Taken: Kinetics

Level: Novice
Received: Growing and Renewing
Location: Along spine on lower back..

Novice Techniques

Aether Sight

The kinetic gains the ability to perceive the aether around them. By opening themselves to this perception they can see the Flux in motion within the world. This enables them to insert their aether into the Flux of that which they intend to move in whatever manner they desire. The Aether Sight imparted by the Rune of Kinetics does not bestow upon the wizard the ability to read into the properties of said aether. They are simply able to perceive the motion of the aether around them.

Push

Iconic among kinetics is the ability to push objects seemingly with a thought. Kinetics know this isn’t entirely true. Pushing is achieved by extending one’s aether into the Flux and creating an outward ripple that cascades against the object the wizard desires to move. This in turn shoves the object in the direction the wizard wants.

Lift

The wizard extends their aether into the Flux and redirects the currents around them in order to shift it in an upward motion. This aether when gathered around the intended object causes it to rise out of what would be considered its normal current at that point in time. Objects at rest are easier to lift than objects in motion as they require less of an interruption of their movement through the Flux.

Pull

Acquired at Novice. Reaching into the Flux, the wizard redirects the flow of aether in such a way as it now moves toward them. This in turn produces the effects of moving the desired object toward the wizard.
