Welcome to Gaia! ::

Character Name: General Tay Lorien
Transformation Name: Mercury Knight
Elemental Power: Ice
Transformation words: "Mercury Knight Revelation!"; varies by level.
Transformation object: Signet Ring of Mercury
Confidantes: Surya (another knight who won't show up), Luna, Ami.
Age: 2 years older than the Inner Senshi
Description: see picture in signature

Abilities (* means can be used even when not transformed):
*Heal- Tay can use his planet energy to heal wounds, but it requires considerable concentration and meditation.

*Channel- Tay can boost other senshi powers by giving his energy to them.

*Heat Aura (might be considered a special defense)- a thin translucent blue force field that blocks weak ranged attacks, and temporarily holds off larger attacks. Especially effective against fire and water based attacks. Normally an invisible sphere around him, it can be used to protect others by motioning his hand towards them. Very similar to Sailor Mercury's Aqua Guard in appearance.


Attacks:
*1. Ice Cutter- An ice crystal sword. Its stab can freeze weak enemies. When sword is swung and "Ice Cutter" is spoken, it throws small shards of ice. Standard soldier attack, not associated with being a knight.
2. Sweet Lily Caress- 4 lilies appear around the enemy on the ground. A circle of pink light engulfs the enemy, paralyzing them with love energy. Doesn't actually damage though, and only works against living creatures.
3. Glacial Axe- Most powerful attack. Only used against hordes (hundreds of enemies at once),because nearly all of his energy is temporarily drained by a single use. An giant axe is summoned, and swung down to hit the ground, creating a long fissure in front of it where icicles rise out of to pierce and freeze the enemies. He then can choose to leave them frozen, or shatter them with a horizontal swing of the axe (which sends out a sonic wave to finish the maneuver).
4. Lonely Chorus- A calming voice attack. Combines with Mercury Aqua Rhapsody to become the attack "Beautiful Duet."
5. Teardrop Breeze- Wipes tears from eyes to create a swirling water attack.
6. Snowlight Blizzard- An attack of light and snow (if Heat Aura counts as an attack, then I'd get rid of this one).

History:
Past- Served during the Silver Millennium under the Queen of Mercury, and a few times under Queen Serenity. Secretly, his true loyalty lay onto to Princess Ami. Trained by General Ura Vilya; attained knight armor at age 15. Was promoted to General at age 16, after Ura was killed during the escort mission. Two years later, he had a special mission on the Moon. He returned to Mercury right before the Moon Kingdom fell. Tay was brought to the future by Sailor Pluto and the Outer Scouts.

Present (during the series)- Tay has never been far from the senshi, protecting them secretly and boosting their powers. I'll also note that Ura was reborn as Urawa Ryo (Greg in U.S.), but lost his memory, although he could still partially predict the future. Tay revealed his past at some point after the senshi regained their memories of the Silver Millennium.

(obviously, most of the history is taken from my 5 chapter story.)

Tay has long, bronze-brown hair, ice blue eyes, and is very protective of Ami, AKA Sailor Mercury. He is the leader of the Mercury Royal Guard, a lonely job indeed, but is on the Moon on special assignment. He is very intelligent.
Realizing his destiny, Tay finds his way to the battlefield, but helps only in desperate times, and makes sure to not be seen by anyone (in knight form), including the scouts, unless caught. He will help if he thinks the scout of Mercury is endangered, but will be at a distance, using a long-range attack, to protect his identity and mission. However, if desperate, he will join the other scouts, and then at that time more will be revealed about him.

*Information that is spoilers*
Other information: Naturally, Mercury is his idol, and looking at the sailor girl of water, you should see no reason to change that opinion. He rarely swims, but loves the rain. It really reflects his lonely heart, which knows that his mission will only succeed if he stays alone. He is a loner, and rarely seen with anyone. Most often, he is seen as a student trying to hide away to study or read, or watching a ballroom dance from a balcony.

*It is very difficult for him to complete his mission, while studying, watching over the Sailors, and secretly loving Ami, his future Queen. His mission: to prevent the destruction of the Moon Kingdom, and protect the Princess of Mercury, whatever the cost.
*(My plot) He has had premonitions of the coming of Decaytor, Master of the Dead. His dream predicts that Decaytor will bring dead creatures called NegaSins (pride, envy, gluttony, lust, anger/wrath, greed/covetousness, sloth) to life with a artifact called the Rebirth Ring, which can be used for both good and evil to bring things back to life (It was originally Saturn's Ring). He is here to make sure that the tyrant doesn't destroy the Moon Kingdom.
*NegaSin names: Japanese- yokushin (greed), jiman(pride), okayaki(envy), onnazuki(lustful man), houshoku(gluttony), rokujou(anger), bushou(sloth) akugyou-sin, maou-devil
*If not transformed, he can give some of his power to the other scouts, or use some of his attacks anyway.

*end spoilers*

Transformation: Raises both arms together above his head, with his left hand holding the right wrist, and yells "Mercury __ Power!" The Imperial Ring of Mercury (on his right ring finger) glows with a bright blue tint, an icy waterfall cascades down over him, and his arms and hands are covered in armor first. He turns around, and drops his arms out to the sides quickly, and a navy blue cape is created from the water flowing down his back. He grabs the cape by each side, and covers his torso with it. The view rotates again, and he looks down, watching the drops of water hit his legs, and they form armored shin guards and boots on his feet. The waterfall disappears. The blue cape shines brightly for a moment as the view looks back up. He throws the cape back aside, revealing blue and silver knight armor, light blue clothes, and a sword hanging on a belt by his right hip. His hair flies back, and a clear blue headband appears across his forehead. Finally, he stands tall and serious, arms crossed, eyes closed, head nodded, cape blowing behind him in the wind, with the planet Mercury in the background.

"I am the tragic poet, the lone soldier of the frost. I am the leader of the Royal Guard of Mercury. With swiftness and intelligence I protect those associated with the kingdom of Ice. With the warm fire in my soul, and the cold water of my birthright, I shall conquer! I am the soldier of tranquil solitude! For the sake of my kingdom, I am the Mercury Knight!"

This information is from a FF7 rpg that I converted him slightly for.
Character Name: Tay Lorien
Race: Human
Age: 25
Ht/Wt: 6ft, 200 lbs
Eyes: Ice blue
Hair: long, blonde/brown

Elements: Light/Holy, Ice, Waterfall

Regular Powers:
*Heat Aura - an aura that blocks ice, water, and fire ranged spells automatically.
*Summon Ice Armor - Highly increases defense, decreased speed, requires a great deal of energy.
*Summon Neo Ice Armor/Speed Mode - Highly increases speed, and some defense.
*Waterfall - boosts and heals allies.
*Empath - fore go attacks and gives part of my hit points to an injured ally.
*Crystal Sword/Ice Cutter - This is his basic physical attack. Tay uses a short sword made of a large ice crystal. Ice Cutter is when the sword is swung to make a ranged attack of small ice shards.
*Sweet Lily Caress- a unique and mysterious power Tay developed in his training. It takes magic from pond lilies, and converts it into pink light which can paralyze a person's body with pleasure. It can be focused as a beam of energy to hit enemies, or made into a protective wall to block the opponent's path. It can't stop projectiles, and doesn't affect things that have no emotions.
*Combine powers - He can add his ice power to other elemental attacks used by allies, making new attacks.

Materia: Blizzaga, Ice 1,2,3, Protect (all), Cure, Heal, Haste

History:

Tay is from a monarchy in a remote ice region. His particular gift for controlling ice led to his being trained as a soldier. His abilities were such that he acquired the power to summon the legendary Ice Armor. Because of that, he became the leader of the country's knights. But one day, he vanished.

Something about him has changed since then. What could have happened to him? Does it have something to do with a girl named Ami? And what is his connection with a cloaked traveller who goes by the name of Poe? His past will eventually catch up with him, and his future is what's at stake.

Poe: a dimension wraith. As the author, I am the original soul of all of my characters, and thus can morph into any of them or use their abilities. Sorta like a godmod, but he is a wanderer and neutral, so he doesn't often use his powers.

Tay's FF7 Limit Breaks

Level 1

1. Coldstab - Using his high speed training, Tay dashes in and stabs an opponent with his sword, possibly freezing them if the sword cuts through flesh.

2. Solemn Prayer - Similar to his Empath ability, but can revive an ally as well. Tay kneels at the side of an injured/fallen ally, and gives them a portion of his hit points.

Level 2

3. Windchill - Tay swings his ice sword around above his head, then points it at the enemy. A blast of icy wind pushes the enemy back, possibly freezing or paralyzing them (Blowback, cold, paralysis).

4. Aura Defense - Used on all allies and self. Temporarily deflects elementally-based spells. Tay puts out an open hand, and a translucent-blue spherical aura surrounds the party.

Level 3

5. Crystal Storm - Tay takes a high jump, another one of the things he was trained for, and starts spinning his ice sword while in mid-air. When he points the sword down at the opponent(s), a barrage of ice shards appear at the tip of his sword to blast the enemy.

6. Purification - Summons a waterfall on one ally by making a hand sign while crossing his heart, then pointing at that person. That ally gains their limit break, and Cure, Heal, Haste.

Level 4

7. Glacial Zone - Tay first summons his ice armor, to give him reinforced strength. He then summons a giant ice axe, which he holds with only one hand, though it seems impossible to do so. He takes a very high jump, and throws the ice axe into the ground. The force of the axe hitting the ground, as well as its ice power, encases the area in ice, and all enemies for a long distance are frozen by the spreading glacier, and take cold and impaling damage (from large spikes of ice appearing from the ground). There is a 25% chance of Tay fainting after using this attack, so he only does it when he is surrounded in a way that there is no other way to escape. There is also a slight chance that, if he hasn't fainted yet, he will use it's second ability, Icebreaker, where any enemies frozen by this effect automatically shatter into small fragments and are destroyed.

Poe's limit breaks, if it ever gets that far... 1. Surging Rage- use when ally is hurt. Poe attacks all enemies blindly with continuous, random magic spells. 2. Talon Blitz - extreme speed long fingernails claw multiple attacks. 3. Abyssal Cloak - one non-boss enemy is sucked into a black hole, instant death. 4. Alias - Poe becomes one of my other rpg characters and gains their abilities for that battle. That character cannot gain a limit break. 5. Mightiest Pen - Copies one ally's limit break. 6. Infinite Return - Triggers a counter attack in boss battle only. Next big attack is backhanded and reflected at enemy(enemies). 7. The One - Gathers all personas into one body to perform a final huge attack. Poe isn't meant to be a regular character though, since he is so powerful... more like an npc that shows up from time to time.
