Name: Reyin Nova
Age:22
Race:Human
Appearance:
Reyin is a solid five feet, eleven inches tall and has a rather lean athletic build, looking as though he weighs close to 180 pounds. His blonde hair is cropped fairly short, though due to his lifestyle the hair is often unkempt, messy, and generally in need of a good washing. His eyes are green, and his face is considered by many women to be boyishly handsome due to the lack of facial hair.
Of caucasian descent, Reyin is naturally light skinned and despite his constant time in the outdoors, he remains unable to develop a very dark complexion. The only real distinguishable markings present on Reyin are a number of small scars dotting his chest and lower torso, although none of which appear to be large enough to cause a fuss or tell a story over. A natural athlete, Reyin's muscle definition is mostly apparent when actively working muscles, not when relaxing or during low-intensity activity.
Constantly on the road and living off the land, Reyin is usually wearing the same pair of clothes for weeks at a time. As such, a typical shirt of his is a thrice-stitched over white shirt, with tanned leather armor etched into the shoulders to offer some moderate protection. His pants are composed of the same tanned leather material, as Reyin tends to favor functionality over comfort. His sword, long enough to be uncomfortable at the hip, is often set into its scabbard with the strap looped over his right shoulder.
Personality:
Reyin is easily described as an easy-going, laid back kid. Good natured and incredibly naive, Reyin does his best to help out others, all the while trying to increase his own notoriety and fame. A bit of a showoff, Reyin is perceived simultaneously as both arrogant and selfless. Should there be two ways into a building, instead of walking straight into it Reyin would be more likely to free-scale the building and walk in through the roof access.
Equipment
Weapon(s):
[1] Long sword: Reyin's main weapon is four and a quarter feet long from the pommel to the tip of the blade. The weapon itself is fairly utilitarian, containing no intricate designs or special engravings. The sword is sturdy, double edged, and designed with a slightly elongated hilt allowing comfortable room for two hands should the situation warrant it. The weapon is kept in it's scabbard and looped around Reyin's back, with the hilt exposed over Reyin's right shoulder.
[1] Hunting Knife: Reyin's weapon of last resort. The hunting knife is best used for skinning dead animals and is more apt at hacking and cutting tough flesh than slicing. The knife also isn't the most intimidating weapon in the world, barely measuring just under a foot in length at eleven inches, with a blade length of seven inches. The knife is only sharp on one end, though the point is often used most effectively in an actual fight. This weapon is kept at Reyin's hip, protected by a solid leather sheath.
[1] Short Bow: A makeshift hunting bow Reyin strung together to feed himself while in the wild, this bow doesn't have much stopping power. Mostly used on small game, Reyin was only able to take down a deer with this bow after tracking the blood trail for several days. The arrows Reyin makes for this bow are home-made and crude in design. Their flight path is shaky at best, reducing the effective range of the bow to about twenty to twenty five feet. This weapon is usually slung over Reyin's left shoulder, and is typically one of the first items removed should a fight break out.
Miscellaneous:
[2] Ring of Animal Handling: With this ring, Reyin can communicate with animals. He found it in the forest during the events of Valentine Day, and has yet to actually test the thing out. The ring itself has the appearance of a coiled cobra, though Reyin is unsure if that is important in the actual usage of the item.
[1] Duffle bag: Needing something to store all of his crap in, Reyin went out and bought himself the cheapest dufflebag he can find. A rather plain affair, the bag cinches at the top and is tied off with rope. It can either be carried by this rope or by a shoulder strap stitched into the side.
[1] Backpack: Upon realizing that he was under orders to retrieve as many documents form a secret facility as possible, Reyin bought himself a backpack to bring along for the journey. It's not as spacious as his dufflebag, but it is far less cumbersome when traveling through rough terrain.
[1] Sketchbook: Reyin is a closet artist, and while his works of art aren't exactly worthy of being placed in a museum, he has a personal collection that is kept in his duffle bag. Various landscapes and portraits are found within, with nothing truly out of the ordinary on display.
[1]Charcoal: What Reyin uses to draw. To prevent dirtying his medical supplies or spare food, he usually keeps it in a small pouch tied to his belt.
[1] Medical Supplies: For emergencies only, Reyin carries with him at all times a roll of bandages, a needle and thread, and a small bottle of grain alcohol. Oftentimes these are kept at the very bottom of his bag.
Abilities/Skills
[1.5] Talented: Reyin is a natural born athlete, gifted with an enormous amount of physical talent that allows him to succeed in almost all areas of physical skill, even those he has not explicitly trained in. Building off of this, Reyin is just naturally good at unfamiliar physical tasks placed in front of him for the first time. With his natural talent and strong work ethic, Reyin has steadily been approaching his personal peak performance level. He does not have superhuman abilities, but he is about as well-rounded as a natural human can get.
With that being said, Reyin cannot overpower others who are more strength-oriented than he, nor can he out-ninja a ninja. Reyin's abilities are a healthy middle-ground between the two, with a slight nod given to pure athleticism over strength.
[1] Fighting Style: Reyin employs a self-taught fighting style that, while considered unorthodox, is fairly effective at keeping the young adventurer alive. Reyin's style centers mostly on flair and positioning instead of brute force, with some of Reyin's natural tendency to goof off showing up in many places. A wide array of physical and sword-based attacks are not uncommon, though Reyin is at heart a swordsman first and a hand to hand fighter second.
[1] Right Hand Dominant: Reyin is right handed.
[1] Free-Runner: Reyin's penchant for acrobatics is more a natural talent than a well-developed skill, but it is still not uncommon for Reyin to make complete use of his environment, whether it be in chasing/escaping an enemy or in the midst of a fight, Reyin's improvisational skill is a token of pride for the young fighter.
[1] Thrill Seeker: Reyin is a self-appointed adrenaline junkie, always looking for the next big thrill in life. As such, he has a habit of throwing himself into extremely perilous situations for no other reason than "it looked like fun".
[1] Survival Skills: Living on his own, Reyin has a good feel for what it takes to survive out in the wild.
[1] Saturday Morning Connoisseur: Reyin watches a lot of cartoons, so many that he's able to pick up on typical, overused cliches even in the heat of battle. IE: He won't be surprised when someone disappears only to reappear behind him. This also applies, but is not limited to, secret demon forms, long lost family members who may or may not be evil, clones, flying fortresses, giant rolling boulders, spiked pits, and the occasional rebirthed god.
[1] Closet Artist: Reyin's pretty handy with a piece of charcoal. His works aren't necessarily masterpieces, but he can sketch objects both quickly and accurately for either scouting or entertainment value. For a piece with excessive detail, like any similar piece of art, would still take a lot of time to create.
[3] Rise to the Occasion: Once per day, Reyin is capable of a superhuman (typically physical) feat that defies most logic. Whether it comes to overpowering a giant with a sudden burst of strength, fighting off the effects of a hallucination, or overcoming a seemingly mortal wound to make a final desperate attack. Reyin's heroic bloodline is attributed to this ability, and Reyin's constantly been told that his ancestors are always looking over him. It should be noted that while the feat is superhuman in nature, it cannot be something that Reyin isn't physically capable of performing beforehand. The ability is likened to a 'boost' to Reyin's present attributes, albeit a significant, short-term boost.
