Description

Image
*I did not create nor do I own this image, it belongs to heise of Deviantart.

Name: Adriaan Kavaki
Age: 27
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 160 lb.
Race/Species: Avorian
Place of Birth: Volary, Western Shintenchi of Terra
Current Residence: Wing City, Midlands of Terra
Nationality: Volarian
Occupation(s): Patronus, Street Fighter

A monk hailing from western Shintenchi, Adriaan is lithe and lightly built, as appropriate for his species, with a toned and muscled form. Though some might label his features effeminate as they toe that line somewhere between handsome and pretty, the lighter body build results in less body mass and bulky muscle tone which is more fitting for a species accustomed to flying. Though his skeletal structure is not as sturdy as that of a human, his rigorous training and use of Ki leaves him a capable fighter. He has grey eyes, slightly pointed ears, and long silver hair that he typically keeps braided. A pair of powerful and fully functional feathered wings can be seen sporting from his back.

Adriaan is rather good natured and a touch chivalric at times, though his chivalry can often be credited to his weak spot for the proverbial damsel in distress. Adriaan is apt to taking a somewhat dogmatic approach to the teachings of his order and often views his life as a scale of giving and receiving, and he's not afraid to play the scales a bit to enjoy himself while accepting the consequences that will arise at a later date for his indulgences. After all, what's the point of life if you don't live a little.

Equipment:
  • Gauntlets: These gauntlets cover the hands as well as extend upwards to the elbow and vicious spikes have been affixed to the knuckles. Though metallic, their exact origin is uncertain, but for their light build and nearly weightlessness they are extremely durable. They are capable of withstanding a great deal of blunt force as well as well as magical assaults upon them.
  • Prayer beads: Used to help focus his Ki. He generally wraps them around his fist and wrist during fights while keeping them in his pocket when not involved in combat.

So begins...

Dropping down off from a nearby rock was a lithe looking man sporting a pair of feathery wings and a long braid of silvery white hair. His attire didn't offer much into his origins, though the make was that of a commoner or a traveler. Simple and unadorned with the wear and tear of its mileage. The only thing that set him apart from a simple traveler were the finely crafted metallic gauntlets that enclosed his hands and forearms, the knuckles of which sported a row of spikes.

“Afraid not travelers. Your only other route will take you three days off course, unless you want to swim for it. But I'll bet you five dinars the eels are picking your bones before you make it to the mid-point. Rest assured though, the bridge is quite safe.”

As if to emphasis that point, the man nimbly stepped out onto the bridge. “Of course, if you want to cross it, you're going to have to defeat me in combat. Why you ask? Well to be honest, there's no real reason other than I've sat here all day waiting for travelers to test my mettle against, and it would be a right waste of time if I just let you two go across now. So what say you? Face me? Or take the long way around?”

“None taken, good Sir.” The man was rather amiable for a highwayman.

"Why, what a brilliant idea!" Adriaan interlaced his fingers together and cracked his knuckles, followed by a crack of his neck to either side. "Shall we then?" Adriaan slipped into a guarded battle stance. "You should know, back in Virisia I am undefeated in hand-to-hand combat. May the best warrior win."

Crossing his gauntlets before him, the magic missile struck the metallic surface of the man's gauntlets and dissipated in a spark of arcane magic. “Hah! You'll have to do better than -”

Before he could finish his sentence, the follow up color spray caught him up and he staggered backwards, dazed and momentarily blinded by the dancing lights. A simple misplaced step resulted in him taking an unfortunate tumble over the edge of the bridge.

“Oof.” The man grunted as the icy hand snatched him up mid fall just in time for the stars to start clearing from his eyes.

“Ahem. Well played Sir. Might you put me down now?”

Seemingly a good enough sport about the whole matter, Adriaan returned the handshake with just as much enthusiasm as before his rather prompt defeat. “Of course, of course. If you must be on your way, you musn't delay. Though I must admit I'm not sure how this works. Normally such a blatant show of combat prowess and my subsequent defeat would leave me honor bound to seek tutelage under you.”

He scratched at his head as if perplexed by the situation. “But given your victory through the arts of mage-craft, I suppose we could wave that this time. But I must insist on accompanying you on your journey. My name is Adriaan by the way.”

As he talked he had moved aside to allow the pair to pass.

“Robbed? My good sir, you have me all wrong. I humbly wished only to test my mettle and combat prowess against formidable travelers. I have technique and training down to a science, but both pale in comparison to the benefits of real world experience,” Adriaan replied to Tycho before addressing Alrion. “Graveyard? I can't say I know of any graveyards, though I did catch sight of some stone structures to the east of here, when I flew over. Crypts perhaps? I can show you if you wish.”

“Well, that sure is a fine piece of work. Beautiful craftsmanship. That what you two came all the way out here for?” Adriaan asked.

Adriaan walked up with Tycho to peer at the blade, though he kept his hands to himself. Outside of appreciating the craftsmanship, he had little use for swords. “Say, does your friend often talk to himself?” Adriaan asked with a glance to Alrion. “Not that there's anything wrong with it, just idle conversation,” he added quickly.

"Wench? On the contrary! I can understand how my effeminate looks might cause confusion, but I assure you I am most definitely a man," Adriaan replied before glancing back to Alrion. “Help him? It doesn't generally take two people to pull a sword out of some dead guys chest. Though there are typically unhealthy repercussions to robbing graveyar-” he was cut off by the sound of stone doors slamming shut. “What'd I tell you.”

“Bitching? My good sir, you again seem to misunderstand me. However, it must be stated that if I end up with some curse or having to do penance for an untold span of time for this, you owe me one." Pulling a string of prayer beads from his pocket, he entwined them around his hand for a touch of good fortune to help counter the bad fortune of looting a graveyard.

With that accomplished, he moved over to assist Tycho. However, once again, his intentions were suitably disrupted, this time by the sword sinking into the ground. “Well, that was peculiar. Say, where did your friend go?”

“Well, there doesn't look to be a lot of other options, eh?” Adriaan asked as he strode after Tycho. “Kind of surreal, huh?” he added with a look about their surroundings.

“Oh boy. What I tell you. There's definitely going to be some penance paying to be done before this day is through,” Adriaan said as he shifted into a readied combat stance.

“Right with you-” Adriaan began, but just like that Tycho was gone. “Well then, I guess it's just you and me,” Adriaan remarked with a crack of his neck. As the serpent lunged for him, Adriaan's coiled muscles sprang into action and he leaped forward to meet the skeleton head on, gaining lift and momentum with a deft stroke of his wings. Thrusting his spiked gauntlet towards the serpent's open jaws, the prayer beads entwined around his hand helped him to focus his ki into a single devastating blow.

Adriaan blinked at the seeming lack of effect crushing the things skull had. “Well then,” he remarked as the serpent heads surged beneath him and towards Tycho. Twisting in mid air, Adriaan dove after the heads, skimming across the ground just above them as he raced them towards Tycho. As the man tripped and face planted, Adriaan spread his wings and skimmed to a halt, landing crouched beside him. Grabbing him by the back of the collar, Adriaan hoisted him back to his feet. “Time to go,” he said and half pushed Tycho back into a run.

As a second serpent lunged across the first, fanged bared for Tycho's over extended arm, Adriaan brought his fist around to drive his gauntlet upwards into the jaw of the skeleton. Much as with the head of the creature earlier, the brittle bones of the serpent skull fragmented under the blow, but there were many more to contend with.

“Would love to, but you're a might bit heavy around the middle, if you catch my drift.”

“Nice trick that,” Adriaan grunted as he jumped back to evade a strike for his legs, though as the serpents coiled about to constrict the pair, he was losing maneuverability. Another snake fell beneath his gauntlet, while another wound its way about his legs. Entrapped as he was, his athleticism could do him no good and he felt the sharp barbs of fangs sink into his thigh. With a grunt he grabbed the serpents head and pried its jaws open until the skull fragments crumbled within his grip.

Coiling his legs for a jump, Adriaan shuttled skyward and clear of the writhing serpents. A quick survey of the situation had him in agreement with Tycho's line of thinking and he furled his wings, plummeting back into a dive, this time closing in on the crypt just behind Tycho. As the pair cleared the threshold, he alighted upon the floor dusting his clothes off.

“No problem man, it happens to everyone,” he replied to Alrion.

“There see. Nothing out of the ordinary here,” Adriaan reaffirmed. “So, what's next? Hanging with you guys seems a recipe for adventure, so if it's all the same to you two, I'll stick around a while.”

“Well then! Seven of these things you say? What are we waiting for?” Adriaan replied. Giving his knuckles a crack, the avorian seemed rearing to go.

Leaning close to Alrion, Adriaan murmured something discretely behind one hand. “Your friend here seems a few cards shy of a full deck, if you catch my meaning.”
