Physical & Mental Attributes
Appearance –
Twilight is a work of art, both mentally and physically. On the outside his calm and sated appearance gives the impression of patience and sanity, but those who know the truth behind the mask see psychosis within those deep red eyes. He is a daunting figure, tall and lean, and he moves like a predator. Most of his strength is masked by an artificial signature, which is deeply embedded in his being. In battle he is seldomly faced with impossible odds. His abilities are great, and many of which are original to himself. He is the master of many martial and magical arts, and those who face him meet a beast rather than a man. He is an excellent warrior, and proud, and those who face him in mortal combat and are not destroyed thank their gods for his mercy. He is an enigma if there ever was one. A murderer to some, and a savior to others. Standing just over six-foot tall, and almost two hundred pounds, Twilight is a menacing figure. His body tone and muscular muscular, and he has the look of a predator with him. There are many foreign markings upon his arms, mostly runic inscriptions and tattoos. Most of which, however, only appear when called upon. His hair is just over shoulder length, and falls all over the large collar of his jacket. However, normally it is pulled back into a silver white pony tail. As for clothing, it has been known to change daily. His usual attire consists of a long ankle-length leather jacket, which is held closed by velcro straps on the inside of the jacket. Also, it is lined with crimson silk to match his crimson eyes. Also, he usually tends to wear a light-colored silk shirt, and black denim pants. Not to mention his black leather boots, which rise to his mid-shin. He wears a pair of fingerless gloves, and he moves like a fighter.
Personality –
Twilight is normally a rather calm and sated person. However he's been known to becomea terribly sadistic person, with the tendancy to be cynical at times. He cares for no one except for family, and only holds ties to those he most cares about. Those who are actually close to him know a soft spoken man. A sweet and kind person; however, those who meet him in battle meet a monster. He becomes vicious, and horribly violent. Making it increasingly difficult to predict his movements. Most of the time he does not speak, all though he has a rather nice voice, and he keeps himself away from most everything. He does not like to fight, but is an incredible mage, warrior, and psion, and is becoming increasingly better almost all the time. He's patient, which makes him stand apart from most. He can stare someone in the eyes for hours without blinking, and though some have called him slightly obsesive they have found themselves beginning for mercy when he's done with them.

Weapons –
The Kietsu –
The blade that Twilight carries is the last remnant of his past. The weapon is of a longsword design, and does not resemble any real make. In fact, its origins are unknown. The blade has a hint of darkness, and glistens of a crimson tint. It has no cross-guard, and the handle is adorned with a black and crimson stripped pattern. Along the blade are several runic inscriptions, which appear to glow at certain times. Three braded strands hang from the pummel, which are adorned with beads. It’s a strange weapon with a strange past all its own… According to legend the Kietsu is a blade of epic proportions. It was said to be hand crafted by the first Oni that graced the earth, and was wielded by the four devilish generals of the archaic period. Upon contact with a living organism it reforms itself in compliance to their liking, in a manner that will benefit them. It is a living sword, and it learns just as easily as a human being.
Cinthorc -
In the beginning of things in ages past there were the Ancient Ones, masters of flesh, fire, and steel, who forged the elements of which the land was made. When men and beasts came into the world the Ancient Ones purposed to have dominion over them, hence they commanded that the Dark Elves create the Swords of the Ancients. They were forged of secret alloys and each sword was bequeathed its own special power. The swords have been used throughout the ages in the eternal struggle between good and evil. Cinthorc is the Sword of Justice. The weapon was given to Twilight on the day of his Knighthood. The Illythrian warriors discovered it in a set of ruins in the south, and it was said to be endowed with great power. It was a greatsword, which normally sits upon his back, and it is adorned with gems and metals that are very valuable. It is a true work of art.
Mithrond -
Like Cinthorc, Mithrond is a strangely crafted blade. It was forged by the Dark Elves, and is the Slayers Blade. It is a dagger, which sits upon Twilight's hip. It has no markings upon it, and seems to be a simple dagger forged of basic steel. However, it's true nature is unknown.

Martial Disciplines
Teräs Käsi
Teräs Käsi utilizes extremely quick, devastating strikes to end the fight quickly. It also focuses on using hand weapons, such as swords and knuckles. Many of their moves are so fast that the artist almost appears a blur, but at the same time, they are so precise that they almost never miss. The art of Teräs Käsi itself presumably died out at the time of the fall of the Illythrian Knights. Along with Dragon Riders, the martial art of the Emperors Royal Guards, and Bounty Hunter combat training, it is one of the most powerful martial arts in the lands of Illythria. It focuses on three areas: Balance Conditioning, Meditative Techniques, Power Techniques, and Precision Techniques. Some Teräs Käsi moves and forms are named after creatures: Phoenix Tongue, Dragon’s Rage, Raptors Talon. The conditioning practice comes from evading whips and swimming long distances to tone and understand and emphasize total muscle control.
Orashin –
On the most basic of levels, this style of martial arts is considered one of the most deadly derived by man or monster. It is an all-around powerful style, whose fundamental abilities are based on many styles. It uses the adversaries’ energy to break bones, draw them into incredibly strong holds, and strike many vital points with ease. The movements are quick and fluid, adding a sort of graceful finesse to the strikes, parries and holds. One of the finer points of the styles is that it doesn’t have to be altered for weapon use, it is a very creative and mystical style. Also, the few masters of Orashin have been said to have the capability to break swords and other weapons with a simple, yet powerful strike.
Ra`thir, Strævéx`zi, Tar-laqu'
These three styles originate from the three warrior nations of Illythria. Ra`thir bases it’s movements on low, large based moves. It requires quick upper body movement, and swift feints. Most of the techniques require the martial artist to remain stationary, and no kicks are involved. Strævéx`zi is the exact opposite of Ra`thir. It’s focus is quick footwork, and lower knee kicks. It uses less upper body, save for it’s grabs and throws, and focuses on sweeping enemies. Tar-laqu’ is the last of the three Illythrian styles, and begins bringing quick footwork, and weapons into the mix. It is a mix of power and speed, but is clumsy and lacks grace. However, together, as most warriors learn them, they make a deadly combination of tradition and sophistication on the battlefield.
