Name: Rekainas Aredone
Titles/Nicknames: Pyre Alchemist, Rekai, Rekain,
Darkflame Alchemist
Age: 29
Age Appearance: Not surprisingly 29
Race: Plain old Human.
Gender: Male
Appearance: A tall, thin, non-muscular build. He prefers this over size and strength, as it seems to him as "More flight-practical." His has dirty brown hair, dark green eyes, and a medium-long nose. His robe is tattered with the holes from sparks of Alchemist's Fire, his main weapon. It runs down to his shins, with deep pockets on either side of the waist. The charred bottom area is old and shows many years of use. The hood is also quite old and no longer hides the face of its owner. The aging robe is a dark brown color, almost matching Rekainas' hair. His pants are but a lighter shade, baggy and going just short of the foot. His long, leather boots are tough and tight. His gloves are dark red, stained with the mysterious color of the liquid "alchemist's fire" (See "Weapons" for massive detail). All his clothes look the worse since the nigh fatal discovery of his weapon, so (See "History")all his clothing is fireproofed now, except his belt and sheath, with Derikona (See "Weapons") inside of it, safely tucked away. In nearly every hidden area of the long robe there is a vial of Alchemist's Fire, sealed in magically super-hardened glass- they break on mental command. A master of placement in the sky, he handles these with care, knowing an accident could cost him, even with magics to turn any attack upon the vials. An overall shabby look, seeming as though he has been inside for days, not eating very much at all. If you see him in such a thin, weary state, he has most likely done just so.
Personality: Known quite well to throw himself away into his work. He is a master of alchemy, devoting his prime years to research and discovery, until the fatal discovery he made at 15 (See "History"). Despite his great determination, he is rather timid around others. He stays alone, mainly, preparing and experimenting with things of all sorts. He prefers a stealth route to open battle. Yet, despite all this, Rekainas has true inner fire when it comes to battle. He also speaks openly with trusted people, and fellow alchemists he may or may not find. He is protective and kind, but many will never know the true part of him he hides away. He will only show this form to his greatest friends or people he trusts the very most. He is a cold-blooded killer, if need be. (See why in "History".) He is naturally many things- the tactician, the philosopher, the scientist. All of this goes into his life's work in alchemy.
Likes:
- Finding out something new. This is amazing for him, knowing something he did not know before.
- Battling someone he's never met, but is still challenging. He enjoys the thrill of battle.
- Alchemy. Liking alchemy from the start of his life (See "History"),
he has focused on alchemy in battle.
Dislikes:
- Big groups of people. He is a natural recluse to anyone without alchemical prowess or who he trusts.
- Full-scale war. Rekainas prefers one-on-one battles, not armies all around him.
- People who hold long-term grudges. Rekainas dislikes these people, even though they surrounded him at home (See "History").
- Most things that cannot be explained. Rekainas lives knowing how things work, and dislikes those who makes things not work the way he knows them to.
Greatest Fear: Rekainas' greatest fear is complete and total mastery and perfection. He fears this because it is, in his way of thought, reserved for the gods. The gods alone can achieve such a lofty status, but any mortal being who has total mastery is considered either evil or a deity. He figures that anyone with mastery is either -a god- or -challenging the gods-.
Ambitions/Desires:
-Great mastery over alchemy. He would not want complete perfection, but enough power over alchemy so he can do anything in battle he wishes to do.
-Ultimate understanding. Rekainas wants to know how pretty much everything really works, and why it works that way. He is a natural scientist of sorts.
-Rekainas' lowest (yet still slightly prominent) ambition is wealth. Not fame, but simple money. He wishes to own a large-ish house somewhere, and have a home to stay in other than his secluded 3-room home. He wants enough money to keep his alchemy going, and that's about it. Gaudy accesorizing means nothing to him.
Weapons:
Primary Weapon: Alchemist's fire, a mysterious liquid substance that bursts into flame once it hits the air. Kept in super-hardened glass vials, of which he has about 10 in every reachable place he can stuff them, the fire burns slowly without wind, but will not stop spreading until about 8 feet of spread. The vocal command used for breaking the vials is muttered, allowing the fire to spread. Basic magics allow Rekainas to direct the flame for longer distance and faster speed.
Secondary Weapon: Derikona, a magical sabre Rekainas carries everywhere. It is enchanted so that Alchemist's fire will stick to it, and can be slashed off at a very fast pace rather than its normal, slow spread. It also gos about 28 feet, rather then 8 feet. The reason for this is the fire is directed in a straight line, rather than an explosive spread. The sabre may also simply stay on fire through vocal command.
Vocal commands:
-Break glass- Flame Break
-Flame sword- Flame Seal
-Flame shot (from sword)- Flame Shot
Others:
-Smoke capsules. They generate smoke, of course. They are in normal, breakable glass.
-Alchemist Darkflame, A dangerous substance that destroys almost everything in its small 5 foot explosion radius. When directed it expands in size, going about 26 feet and destroying all in its path. Unlike Alchemist's Fire and normal fire, Darkflame does not continue to burn what it touches. Rekainas has few of these vials, and those vials are magic-sealed.
Note that all vials used are designed through magic to remake themselves after breaking and use energy from Rekainas to replicate what was once inside. It's not really tiring for him, and saves time anyway. Rekainas does own a huge basin of Alchemist's Fire for emergency purposes.
Wow, longer than appearance
Abilities and fighting Style: Rekainas isn't limited to his weapons, though they make the majority of his firepower. He has some magic of his own. He can shoot rather basic bullets and mostly knows how to direct his Fire with wind magics. Normally his Fire is directed through magic, but in some cases he will use it to explode in a small spread, to make walls using many vials, or block off and area with fire. Smoke capsules make the battlefield a haze, while the almost nonvisible vials of dark red liquid sail through and burst into flame. Needles of flame are Rekainas' specialty- Aimed, focused needles take out foes quickly and silently. He is very evasive, but his main strength is in aerial placement. He knows how and where to put his vials, and uses that and basic bullets to lay down foes. Another favored tactic is slahes of flame from his sabre, with walls made by the thin strands of directed Fire. His "basic spell card" of sorts is a vial of Darkflame, but those are limited, and using them badly could result in his own loss. A well aimed, rapid shot of multiple vials of Fire, and Rekainas is a great force to be reckoned with.He may also rush an opponent in order to use the "Flame Seal" blade on them, while dropping and detonating vials of Fire behind him. Rekainas does not hesitate in battle and is a force to be reckoned with.
Strengths:
- Rekainas' small, weak build does happen to be flight-efficient, increasing aerial movement speed and allowing more to be dodged, rather than having him get hit.
- Rekainas has a natural talent for placing thing at what seems to be the perfect place and time. He will not hesitate, placement is natural.
- Rekainas knows how to commit to something and stick with it to the end, yet still know if it's time to run away if need be.
- Fire doesn't do much at all with Rekainas' fireproofed cloth.
Weaknesses:
- Rekainas' weak build is frail and can't take many hits without extra protection. Unfortunately, Rekainas lacks the extra protection. He can't handle too much firepower from one source, a major downside.
- Rekainas has a pretty much one-track mind. He can't focus on many other things at once, and once he commits to something, he can't back out easily. If someone gets his attention, someone else has it easy to attack. This is one of his most prominent weaknesses in battle or anywhere.
- Without his major power from Alchemist's Fire, Rekainas is almost completely useless. Take his weapons, and you win a fight against him almost all the time. He can't do much with only basic bullets, and the sword he owns isn't much good because its enchantment makes it so it doesn't melt from alchemists fire and allows interaction with it. Not very useful without alchemist's fire.
- Rekainas can handle fire and wind, having studied their nature and uses that well. However, he cannot Take much from many other types. Take something he doesn't see often, and he gets confused and doesn't know what to do. He might try something new, and that's anyone's chance to catch his evasiveness off-guard.
History: Rekainas lived an easy life until age 12 with his father in his home village. His mother died at Rekainas' birth. He was to follow his father's footsteps as a blacksmith. Later, a traveling alchemst came to the village. Rekainas was fascinated with the alchemist's work. Rekainas went to him, and through watching, learned basic alchemy. Through testing, he found he was best using fire-based alchemy. At age 15, he was floundering at smithery. He showed his father his newest discovery, a dark red substance inside an airtight vial. When his father opened it, dark flame came out. It swallowed his body quickly, and not even a skeleton remained. When the flames approached Rekainas, he gasped and ran. Nevertheless, dark sparks flew onto his newer robe and clothing. It was scarred permanently.
5 years later, the village was all but annihilated by Youkai. The few survivors held a grudge against youkai from then on. However, Rekainas didn't hold that grudge. He disliked the village life anyway, so he took that time to go. He had been studying Darkflame- those mysterious flames that almost killed off what was left of his family- and had weakened it enough for practical use in battle. He called it Alchemist's Fire. It was dark red in color, left inside new vials- obtained from the oldest of the village, a previous alchemist who gave it up many years ago. They were broken on command, repaired themselves, and refilled themselves using the owner's energy. He owned as many as 36 at the time, and they served him well. Traveling, fighting, and living where he could, Rekainas discovered many of his new pieces of equipment. He learned from many magicians, how to direct wind slightly, push the liquid fire towards his foes. This he mastered with the power to create basic bullets. He still wanders to this day, 27 and knowing as much as someone 20 years older than him. He was trained and dubbed a true alchemist, marking the true start of his work.
