WEAPON ONE- Weeping Heaven- One 5 foot long Double bladed Dao, a slightly curved sword similar to a scimitar. Passed on from his Father the Weeping Heaven has the unique ability to resist magic. When encountering a magic force, the weeping heaven does not absorb the magic essence, it banishes the energy, through concentrated effort Varitas has learned to harness and extend this effect like an aura, and extending the blade's magic cutting ability beyond it's physical form, making the weapon nearly six inches longer than it would appear, and two inches wider, when dealing with a monster or other magic infused being.
Biography: Varitas Durentis the first of three siblings, was born and raised in Centra. The now wasteland area forced him to grow up quickly, as he always cared for his younger brother and sister. The majority of his life has been spent fighting, hiding from, or organizing resistance against monsters. He learned most of his fighting skills fighting alongside his Father. When he was only ten years old, the fighting finally took its toll on his Father ending his life when the monsters swarmed over the defenses of the survivalist camp in Centra.

After the terrible massacre very few humans survived, Varitas being one of them. For the following thirteen years he and five other survivors fought on, never again staying in one place for long. When after so long word of the SeeDs came to the wastelands, Varitas left to attempt to join them. The other five survivors left for the other Gardens, hoping to fnd an escape from the constant struggle.

Personality
Odin is an ancien Knightly spirit of honorable combat. He will not see fit to interfere with a fight which would be beneficial to Varitas, or that he feels the lad is honorbound to fight without aid. That being said, Odin will not stand idle as Varitas slips away into death, but as this would tarnish his own honor being connected to Varitas' reputation. Odin will not be bothered by dispatching any number of paltry or low level enemies, if only on occassion. Odin will always disguise any feelings of comeraderie or affection, for Varitas with bland statements like, "I couldn't stand to let my sword gather rust." When intervening.

Battle Overview: Varitus is a team player knowing that when one is a true leader one must frst know how to follow, he has honed his instincts and strategy through years of use, though he will not take charge unless it becomes apparent bad things will happen if he doesn't step in. He is a guerrilla fighter not one to suicidally place himself in a straight fight if he can help it.
Limit Breaks: Monster ex mortis- Varitus' weapon's latent power activates and allows him to produce a powerfulanti-magic shockwave dealing massive damage and generating a silence effect for a short time on the target. *Usable only with Weeping Heaven*

Punch to the Bracket- Varitus channels his years of outrage and frustration into one powerful attack, using whatever he has nearby and aiming for the most vulerable spot available with almost unnatural speed and power.

Additional Notes on This Character He is Dutiful, but kind. Strict but sincere. Naieve, but Jaded. Varitas is not what you expect him to be, unless you expect him to surprise you.

Two Years of Moving On

Coming out of the woodwork for one mission all with the hopes of helping his people stranded in the barren Wastes of Centra, Varitas embarked upon what he had no idea would be an act of war. Since the victor of the battle invariably decided who would play the rightious in the eyes of the people, Varitas knew there would be little chance for peace, and thus, his mission completed to the best of his ability, Varitas returned with haste to his homeland.
Over the next few years, hearing little of the fate of his one-time allies, choosing instead to look after the remaining family he had nearly sacrificed his life for. Though the mission had changed his perceptions forever. Now the visions of GF's and men who wielded magic as freely as the monsters he'd fought since he could hold a sword burned within his memory like a plague. Pushing him driving him into a frenzy of training and meditation. These encounters left him knowing that he absolutely must master himself and his weapon if he could ever hope to realize the dream of freeing his homeland of the curse which left it a scarred wasteland.
Recalling tales of a buried temple in the center of the Centra Ruins, and the stories of ancient power laying in wait there for a noble warrior to claim, Varitas spent many months devoted to the search, and once inside, towards unlocking the secrets of the ancient mechanisms which Varitas could feel the place contained. Perhaps a lingering sense of the magic he had so recently encountered driving him on.
One dawn, after having spent the night in meditation on the puzzles, inspiration struck and the pathway to the great power became opened, as though Varitas had been invited inside by it. And there within, a giant of a man astride a powerful horse. "Come and strike me down if you dare, and I shall find you worthy."

Varitas would certainly have perished with a single stroke of Odin's Zantetsuken, Yet the GF seemed to refuse to attack, watching every stroke Varitas made and either parrying or dodging it entirely for nearly twenty minutes this fight raged on. And just as Odin began to draw his sword to fininsh the fight and end Varitas' life, the young man Found himself unleashing his limit break Monster ex Mortis before nearly succumbing to fatigue and exhaustion. He had been staying in the ruins for days without replenishing supplies or resting regularly. Yet somehow Varitas awoke some time later, alone in that hallowed hall, the Guardian Force had been residing in for so long.
Now some years Later Varitas has begun hearing rumors that the Winhill Garden's SEEDs had formed a resistance camp and that it rested somewhere near Centra. This means it will only be a matter of time before Galbadian forces follow them to Centra and endanger all of his people's lives. Something must be done, and quickly.
