((Need approval of Bladecasters (http://shatteredplanes.com/forum/index.php?topic=6294.msg55285#new) first))
Character Name: Empty Sky
Age: 948 Years, hasn't been reborn yet
Gender: Male
Race: Phoenix Sage, Bladecaster
Appearance: True Form: Empty's true form, like all pureblood Phoenix Sages, is a massive phoenix. He has adopted a rather large size for reasons unknown. His phoenix form is slightly larger than an F16 fighter jet and is pure silver, mainly. All Feathers are of a pure silver variety, apart from the tips of the Primary (edge) feathers which slowly fade off into black. In this form, as his chosen one, he has one pure white eye and a pure black eye, both with golden rings surrounding the irises, showing him to be pureblood Phoenix. His beak and talons look like solid iron and are a dark grey colouration, contrasting nicely with his silver plumage. His mark of the Bladecaster is etched upon the back of his neck, in both True and Chosen forms.
Chosen Form: (http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/153/1/1/11f632814aee972651473869c7561153-d3hwbyo.jpg)
((slight change in eye colour of course, same as True Form. He stands at around 5'8" and weighs in at 70Kg))
Alliance: None, may join one however.
Personality (one paragraph minimum): Empty has always been rather like his name, empty. He cares not for a lot of things but yet can be prone to random spurts of extreme compassion, he seems to think, or possibly see, that some people it is their time to die and sometimes it isn't. This means that he can sometimes just watch people die around him and yet save random others for some "divine" purpose which he thinks he knows a little about but never speaks of. In fact, this is simply to try and make him feel not as empty and it fulfills his purpose, none know that however, so this "divine plan" is in fact just a ruse and cover up to try and make him trick himself into thinking he is more than nothing. He is usually rather cold to anyone trying to speak to him, not talking much unless it is extremely important but if one can crack through the harder exterior they will learn truly what makes him like he is, he is lonely. This however has been ingrained into him and he will not accept companionship easily, preferring to be alone than with the company of others.
He is not one for idle chatter in combat either, while others are making quips and speeches, he is observing, waiting, watching until it is time to strike. He likes to use distractions and feints a lot in combat to fool his enemies and have them make mistakes which he can then exploit. Empty is over analytical in combat as well and the longer he is in a fight with someone, the more he learns about the way their body ticks, all the little twitches that show their next attack is coming or which way they are going to dodge and he can react accordingly, making him harder and harder to fight the longer the fight goes on and he has even tricked some foes into thinking he has clairvoyance when it is just pure cold logic and observation.
Inventory (Weapons, Equipment, Etc): He has a necklace, made of gold with a shield charm on the bottom. This reminds him of his purpose and is a good luck charm.
Combat Level: 2.5
- Magic Level (Bladecasting Level): 3 (6)
Pull Fire: This fire is laced with Empty's magical capabilities of slight gravitic control. This means that the fire generates a small field of heavy gravitic pull when it is used, making it extremely hard to dodge without using up a large amount of physical energy. The fire's appearance is shining silver on the edges with a black core, making it two toned.
Phoenix Magic: Most of Empty's Phoenix magic is weak compared to most other Phoenix Sages and he hates it but has learned to live with it. This includes his fire manipulation, including control of Holy Fire, and his Spiritual/Astral control is extremely weak and requires an increased amount of focus for him to be able to use it.
Saviour: Saviour is Empty's blade and because of his Bladecasting level is extremely powerful. It appears as a six foot long length of pure white magic with a black core running through the center of it, matching up perfectly with his Heterochromia. This blade's first ability ties in with his magic, it has a gravitic pull emanating from it, making it hard to dodge while it swings towards you, intent on killing. This, when used with his fire can make it very hard to dodge or block all of his attacks because he doesn't hold this blade and as such, can still use physical attacks. The second ability of the blade is that once it strikes, if it cuts at all, even the tiniest nick, as long as it draws blood it will cause the limb cut to fall numb. The larger the wound, the stronger the feeling of numbness in the limb. Empty's purpose is to save others, to preserve life however he can, as long as he knows that people are dying and he can save them, then his purpose is strong.
- Physical Strength: 2. He is weak but knows where to hit and how to hit.
Character's History (Minimum 3 Paragraphs): Abandoned as an egg on a long forgotten world, he awoke as a small Phoenix in a plain of bright green grass and just looked around, his mismatched eyes blinking blearily in the light as he scanned around for his parents but saw nothing and just let off a small sound. Thankfully someone heard this small sound and found the strange bird, that just looked at them almost sadly and then it started to cry, or as close as a bird could but the message was obvious. The person who found Empty took him home to his town and raised him as a bird at first, learning about them from others so he could take better care of the poor little Phoenix. One day when he returned however, it was not a Phoenix in his home but a small child, silver hair with black tips adorning the top of his head and a strange, black and white glowing mark on the back of his neck. This was when his "parents" realised that Empty was special and instead raised him as a child, not a pet to the best that they could.
As he grew up however, Empty never agreed on a name, he had rejected any name that his parents had given him and said he would find one on his own but he couldn't, he just couldn't think of something to match him. He was special however, he knew that much but why did he feel so dead, so cold and just so empty. That was what sealed his name, his surname Sky, came from the fact he was a bird, he was a master of the sky and it brought him pride but his forename stemmed from how he felt inside and it was sealed, he was to be known now as Empty Sky. His "parents" tried to dissuade him from the name however, thinking of alternatives but he shot them all down, he had chosen his name and that was it, he would live with it from now on no matter what others said.
A year, almost to the day, after making his name he discovered his purpose. He was walking around the time, always mocked for being so strange compared to everyone else when he came across a girl, she was being picked on by another person and he felt almost a spark of recognition flair inside of him. Empty growled and stormed towards the bully that was terrorizing the girl and he attacked. The Bully tried to block him and hurt the girl but he felt something ignite inside of him and without even realising he had a large blade of pure white and black light held in front of the bully's throat, preventing him from doing anything else lest he cut his own throat open on the razor sharp edge of the blade. The bully of course ran away screaming and telling people to avoid Empty but he didn't mind, he was usually avoided and this would just keep him more alone, he would like that.
The girl looked different however, she had pure golden eyes, a colour he had never seen before in the citizens and once again, that spark of recognition lit up again and he ended up talking to her, learning about her and that she was different in all the ways he was. She had been rebirthed recently however and actually knew what she was, she told him what he was as well, a Phoenix Sage, and that he was destined for greatness if his blade was anything to go by. She left a long time ago however and he didn't even remember her name, that hurt him because she was his first true friend and he wanted to see her again, talk to her and show her that he was even stronger, maybe even more with her but he knocked those thoughts aside.
After a few more years, practicing his magic and bladecasting he deigned that he was ready to leave and do what had to be done, become someone in this forsaken universe in which he lived. He said goodbye to his "mother" and "father" and then turned and left, not even looking back and with barely any material possessions on his body, he wouldn't have a need for them all that much anyway. He said that his reason for leaving was to find out who he was and try to become something in his life but he had another reason and that was to find his old friend and try to become her friend once more, he just hoped that she wasn't dead or anything possibly worse than that, she was the only one who had ever understood.
Many hundreds of years on and he had hardened and found no trace of her, he had traveled to many planets and killed many foes. His blade was now more powerful than ever and yet his magic was lacking still, he didn't mind all that much, he knew how to use it to its desired effect. He was slowly losing his hope of finding his friend but he hid that under the blood that washed around him whenever he appeared in the middle of a battle to save as many as he could, they may not seem like something just now but no one could ever know what they could possibly do or possibly know and that is why he truly saved, he done it to make sure that anything could happen but he knew that he was just hiding his fears and emptiness under a sea of blood and the dead.
