Name: Bastian Baldesh
Str - 5
Dex - 20
End- 10
Int - 5
Wis - 20
Ene - 5
Occupation: Apprentice Dragon Rider
Nationality: New Atlantian
Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 150lbs
Age: 17
Hair Color: Light brown
Eye Color: Brown
Appearance: He has a fit build for a balance of speed and strength. the gentle curves of his face frame the eyes of someone who just isnt there. To say the least, he's aloof in alot of his actions, but he becomes feirce when fighting. On his forhead (right over the "third eye") there is a mechanical eye designed to see many things the human eye cant, mainly built to see high concentrations of mana. He wears a full suit of netherite armor and a netherstrand cloak, woven so tight it cant cut him. These do not impede his movement, youll see why later on. His prosthetic arms have extentions that go to his back and meet at his spine where there are 4 nodes. These nodes house talismans of certain elements, 2 nodes are to imbue his attack, 2 are to channel magic to his defense.
Personality: Aloof and seriouse, he likes being by himself most of the time until he's around someone he likes. He perfers to sit in the corners (unless there's a sunny spot to lay in... he loves the sun). He really doesnt care about most people, but those who befriend him are treated to the utmost loyalty and Bastian will defend his friends with the loyalty and ferocity of a wolf.
History: He never paid much attention to gaining an above average intelligence, he goes off of more natural, instinc prone feats (such as the ability to predict movement, speed and indurance). He did little more than cart the Netherite back and forth, so his legs are a little stronger than the average joe, but he doesnt know how to fight with his feet.
Before the fall of Atlantis, one of the mountains tops was cut off and reversed. The combined power of the most powerful magicians making a pact with Sylph caused this mountaintop to capsize and float. On this area was formed a New Atlantis. Dragonriders were popular for a form of transportation after hilltops underwent the same thing as the mountaintop, creating floating islands around the city. The entire place hides withing the clouds and travels in hurricanes if defences are set up. This is where Bastian comes from.
He grew up in a small residential island. It is a tradition to give young children a dragon at the age of 2. They grow up with these dragons and learn much about them. Bastian was given a very small firedrake he named Pyrus. His father owned a Ridgeback, built for strength and menuverability. His father ran a forge in the city center (the city was the largest island that was the nucleus of the entire place, made from the mountaintop in atlantis). He made bastian many, many weapons. He perfers his lance and sword, but his other, smaller weapons are housed on his dragon.
Bastian took up work as a Netherite miner. Netherite was the deep purple mineral inside the island. It was stronger, lighter, and more flexable than any other metal out there. Diamond could only score it. Bastian was gravely injured one day when one of the shafts fell in on him, crushing a section of his spine. His arms were disabled and soon they were unable to fix them, so his arms were amputated. He had a choice of relatively cheap, lab-grown arms which were just like his own (and fairly priced), full metal arms (which were very espensive), or biomechanical arms, the most expensive of all. His family wanted to get him the organic arms for the price they were, but the mining company paid for biomechanical arms to prevent getting sued (there were faulty supports, which could have put them out of business, had they gone to court).
Style: Bastian uses time-space magic that becomes invaluble with his dragon. He usually sticks to his melee weapons when riding his dragon to get closer to the enemy. Although not as intelligent as other students at the academy, he is very knowledgable in combat and applies most of his intelligence to that aspect (he chose this to become a soldier for his country).
Strengths: His riding abilities on his dragon and his weapon of choice, his twin blades. These blades appear as empty and very light hilts. Housed inside these hilts is a synthetic portal/materializer hybrid that will form blades of netherite, a mineral mined in New Atlantis that is stronger and lighter than most other steels. Bastian is strong against most physical attacks due to his armor and cloak (which covers areas exposed by the armor)
Weaknesses: Impact weapons. If he is knocked back, damage will still be done, and a blunt weapon to his helmet will still rattle him around very badly. Anything with enough force to knock him back, pretty much. He is weak to thunder magic if he doesnt set a thunder talisman to a defence node.
Spell List:
Compress: Time-space is compressed and quickly released, this can cause ruptures when used inside a living creature and it will dissolve stone from the sudden decompression.
Shift: Opens a rift big enough for him and/or his dragon to slide between dimentions briefly. This can be used to go through walls very easily. The downside is that the caster has to have enough energy to open 2 rifts: one into the transrealm and one out of it. If someone get lost or cant get out, scavenger-like demons slip into the transrealm to devour them. The transrealm is basically a vast, empty space with no ends. Instead of blacking out, there is a constant, endless and eerie light that gives the depths a silvery gray color instead of black.
Weapons/Gear: Claws. He gave up his own arms in favor of biomechanic arms that have small, sharp claws at the tips.
A 45 caliber, nickle plate revolver set in magnum.
6' Lance
Longsword with a hook at the tip so he can slash with it or turn it around and tear off flesh with it.
Two high-tech swords that appear to be just the hilt until the blades materialize (kind of like in Ultraviolet, but the hilt itself remains whole and is the device that materializes the blade). These are very light and they are built for speed, not strength. He can wield two when needed, but usually only sticks to one.
Items:
Note: Inside of his arms there are 6 vials connected to his veins (3 vials per arm), each containing a hyped up form of adrenaline. Bastian can release these into his bloodstream at will. Each release is slow and steady. It takes 5 posts per shot to wear off. What this does is it brings his intelligence down to that of a beast, practically making it 0, that goes into his strength. The downside to this is that he cant suddenly undo the effects, so if he needs intelligence, he must wait the remaining duration to begin rational thought again. When the adrenaline is released, he cannot speak english (he is reduced to the mannerisms of an animal) and he cant use his magic. He usually uses a sword or his sharpened claws.
Summons, Familiar, and Pets: A small dragon big enough to fit only bastian. It is made for speed and 20 yard long concentrated streams of fire that can blow away stone with its force at closer ranges (like a living blowtorch). His Dragons name is Pyrus. Pyrus is a firedrake (a drake was a smaller breed of dragon built for speed and maneuverability rather than strength) Pyrus was the runt of his litter, but he made up for it by gaining the strongest breath of them all. Pyrus can create fireballs by eating rocks and storing them in a special stomach. These rocks are coated with a highly combustible liquid. He regurgitates them, lodges them in his throat, then uses his powerful lungs to fire it through his fire breath.
