Appearance
Revan has a tanned complexion, typically has short, black hair and is six feet tall. His black eyes are focused and atypical to his bubbly mannerisms outside of combat. Even in some combat, he has the movement of a madman who has no idea what he is doing.

Revan wears an open leather jacket over a blue, hooded coat and only takes off the coat when he is anywhere indoors. His undershirts are either blue, red, black or white and he typically wears blue jeans and leather boots. His belt buckle is a miniature version of his families coat of arms, a rhombus shaped, Dust crystal and having an hourglass hugged by a dragon.

Personality
“Handle the Beowolves and I'll take the Big Boy. We'll all do homework later.”

Revan is somewhat unstable.

His guilt over not being able to save his family left him scarred. The guilt of a survivor would have reaped his emotions, had it not been for him doing his best to escape it by using having a fun, crazy attitude on things.

He is generally kind to his classmates and the few he calls "friend". Knowing his tenacity, he always taught himself to protect those weaker than him. Which can be complicated, given his survivor's resolve and strength. He never wants anyone to experience what he did, and actively looks for such to stop.

Revan uses his kindness and fun attitude as a mask. Deep down, his great loss, all those seven years ago, has left him a scarred young man. When his past is questioned, his mask of a student falls, and his years of sadness and wisdom does his talking for him. And, secretly, Revan will light candles for each of his lost family, and prays for his mentor's good health, as he may be the only blood relation he can find.

Vengeance lurks deep within his mind from the trauma, and he seeks, though sometimes not consciously, to destroy those who share ties with his family's murderers. Should his subconscious try to take over, or his history be brought up, or begins to remember it, he will drum his fingers in intervals of four as his heartbeat does to calm himself. Others think of this as a little quirk of his.

Weapons
His years of practice has made him a strong Duskblade. The combination of sword and Dust to perform attacks and amplify them, matched with his strength and speed makes him a very dangerous opponent:
 * Dragan Trócaire:  His trademark katana, which he forged himself, holds the energy of Mercy, which, on command, turns the blade into a form of energy that sends a signal through the victim's nerves to the brain to force whoever unconscious. A device within the hilt allows the blade to vibrate at an ultrasonic frequency, making its touch very dangerous. All the while, the dragon head carving on the hilt's end holds a hidden Dust cannon within its mouth. He trained to make it also attuned to his dexterity, making it very fast, while also allowing it to be a defensive weapon.
 * The Dustpen: A device, designed by him, that gives him the ability to draw upon a focused reserve of Dust. He can perform a range of elemental attacks, his favored being lightning. And functions as a healing tool by searing wounds closed. The Dust can last for weeks if used sparingly.
 * Serencil: The recurve bow given to him by his only real friend, Revan had to train excessively to survive in the mountains. Revan's dexterity gives him supreme skill using ranged weapons.
 * The Vambraces: While not actual weapons, the Dust painted on them activates a strong defensive shield, for a short time, that protects any ally within range. After which, the paint needs to absorb Energy Dust, for 8 hours, to recharge.

Battle Style
Revan has literally had years of learning combat tactics and ethics. The only one to best him in combat was his master.

Ranged Attacks: 
 * Elemental Attacks: The Dustpen lets him use Lightning, Fire, Ice, etc in a range of ways to his liking. So long as the reservoir does not run out of that particular Dust.


 * Archery: Revan's unnatural skill allows him to fire arrows with deadly accuracy. Also, the Dustpen can draw a rune of elemental power, giving it that elemental edge.


 * Dragon Breath Cannon: Dragan Trócaire's hidden cannon is one use, unless reloaded with a Dust crystal. Its design is similar to Roman Torchwick's Candy Cane.

Close-In Attacks: 
 * Advanced Kendo:  Revan's training with katanas, specifically, has allowed him skill with Dragan Trócaire as an equally offensive and defensive duelist. The Dustpen can imbue the blade with Dust as he can with his arrows.

Special Abilities: 
 * Combat Focus: Dependent on the situation and disposition, Revan can either focus on being a Striker or Defender, often enough to stress himself.


 * Will to Survive: When Revan has suffered an injury that would normally break a bone or even kill him, an adrenalin surge peaks, and helps him to put the bone back or sear the wounds with Dust.

History
Revan MacLeod's family were well known in their community for their free production of Dust to those who could never afford it otherwise and their refusal to sell to other companies. One company in particular began to lose profit margins and decided to take matters into their own hands. With the assistance of shady business partners.

Revan's near death experience at the hands of his family's enemies was a horrid one. Being locked in a room with one window, where, on the other side each member of his family were shot. From his helpless sister to his aging uncle, one by one. His only thoughts were fear, helplessness and revenge. Worst of all, it was his tenth birthday. Dying of thirst, depression, and yearning for revenge, three days later, he eventually broke the door he was behind. And escaped into Vale.

His lust for vengeance at his young age drove him forward. After his trauma, he sought a distant relative living in the high mountains, a weapon Smith and occasional teacher named Jarvain McCoun. There he was taught to fight like a warrior, forge weapons and split trees into firewood, all within the space of seven years. He finally forged a sword that would only kill his sworn enemies and his mentor gave him his old Hunting bow. Revan later designed a pen that employed liquefied Dust to give him an elemental edge.

Revan spent years in the Northern Mountains with his relative, honing his skills. After such, he applied to one of the advanced training academies to become a certified Hunter. Not a Hunter of monsters, but a Hunter of Evil in general.
