Sterlyng Kaeris

Name: Sterlyng (Sterling silver) Kaeris

Colour scheme: Silver, grey, splashes of blue

Race: Human

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Home Town: The docks section of Vale’s industrial quarter

Appearance: Sterlyng presents as stocky or burly, mostly because he walks aggressive-casually. He wears a grey shirt with darker grey jeans, a sleeveless, white with a silver interior, ankle length greatcoat over the lot. Sterlyng dislikes symmetry; he wears an elbow-length grey glove on his right arm and a fingerless blue biker glove on his left. His left shoe is black while the left is blue. He has long black hair which is sometimes tied up, revealing a blue undercut, a middle-length black beard, slightly mismatched blue eyes, and a small cut under the right eye. Sterlyng has two shoulder slung weapon belts, one under his coat carrying a few small utilities in the front and his smallest blade at the back, and the one over his coat carries the two larger blades.

Back Story:

Not much is known, even to Sterlyng, about his parentage. He ran away at a very early age and grew thick skin whilst sleeping in the streets of Vale’s industrial quarter.

He made friends with fellow misfit kids and was quickly seen as “the big kid” you didn’t pick a fight with, and you ran when he entered the fight.

Sterlyng temporarily escaped the underground crime scene of his hometown when he was inexplicably invited to Signal at thirteen. Sterlyng dropped out of Signal, though, after one year, disliking the sudden guide lining and reverting to small time crime.

In a throwback to his childhood, Sterlyng began gathering a reputation as a muscleman for hire.

Sterlyng discovered his semblance while on one of his last crime jobs. A mistimed bomb went off at the feet of Sterlyng and his partner. While his partner was sent flying twenty feet into the air and had burns all over his body, Sterlyng was both unmoved and mostly unscathed. Sterlyng’s other heist partner, seeing this happen and thinking it was Sterlyng’s plan, attacked. Sterlyng felt energy rush from all over his body to his fist and, in one punch, broke the man’s jaw and knocked him out at full aura.

Sterlyng himself passed out not ten seconds after this incident. When he awoke, he had a severe migraine and his stomach felt as though he hadn’t eaten in a week.

A couple days after the incident, Sterlyng was cornered by Vale police. Once he was informed that he had been betrayed by the gang running that particular job, Sterlyng surrendered and went quietly.

As he waited in the police station, the headmaster of Beacon Academy visited him and said that Sterlyng had shown above average skill and strength for someone with so little formal training.

On the spot, Sterlyng was offered a position at Beacon. Though he was twenty two, he would start at first year. With his only other options being jail or life on the run from the gang, he accepted.

Education History:

At thirteen, Sterlyng was invited to Signal Academy where he studied for a year before leaving, feeling the education too strict and guidelined.

Most of his combat training was self taught on the streets during small time criminal activity.

Weapon(s):

Sterlyng wields an as yet nameless metal staff, seven feet long, which is hardly ever out of reach. Used as a quarterstaff.

There are also three blades (one 2 foot, two 3 foot) that can clip into the end of the staff to be used as a naginata. The blades can be fired out of the end. The blades can also be used as short swords for close quarters combat.

Signature Skills or Fighting Techniques:

Mostly, Sterlyng uses his staff and blades, preferring physical combat to marksmanship. He often uses the Zui Quan (drunken body) combat style to catch opponents off guard and take advantage of his dexterity. He tends to fight very aggressively, which lowers his defense somewhat. He will fight with every drop of energy within him, winning some battles by simply outlasting his opponent.

He has some small unarmed combat prowess.

Semblance: Density

In battle; Sterlyng can up to triple his density; in order to endure attacks or bolster his own. This ability can be stacked,though obviously with major aura loss and a high level of disorientation afterwards. And hunger. He gets very hungry after using it.
