Seth
The Flying Flame
Name: Seth Phyre
Also Known As: The Flaming Lance
Age: 19
Race: Human
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Dark red.
Height: 6 feet 3 inches
Weight: 160lbs (normally) 230lbs(When wearing his armor)
Weapons: A bright red lance with a tip made of silver. (Hence his nickname)
Armour: He wears a light, black and white mythril armour, suitable for a sky knight. It is very strong and cannot be torn easily, but it can be pierced by sharp objects.
Strengths: An expert at wielding lances, on foot or on his horse, his skill at wielding a lance is almost unparalleled. He is a quick thinker and an expert tactician.
He can play mind games with his opponents by talking smart to throw them off guard. He uses this to make his opponents angry or unfocused.
Weaknesses: He was never trained in wielding any other weapon beside the lance and javelin. He is extremely weak at wielding a sword or axe. Also, he feels that he cannot fight without his red lance, he says that it has the right ‘feel’ for him. Because of this, his lance becomes a sell-out if he is trying to hide from someone or something. He has little knowledge of magic and their effect.
Magic/Skills:
The Dragonbind: The Dragonbind is a mystical, circular tattoo on the side of Ebony's (the wyvern's) neck. It protects the rider and wyvern from arrows at
all times, even when on the ground and separated from one another.
After his encounter with Shinu, in the battle: The Flaming Lance and Death's Terror,
he had obtained the power to call forth three types of flames at his own will. This was so because, Shinu's demon energy had fused with Rusty's demon flames, while Seth was atop the horse. His hands were closest to the fusion, so only his hands were infused with the powers. Whatever he touches with the flames can burn only if he wants it to. The power and elements of the flames depend on the state of his heart
Flames (Element: Fire):
Seth's heart must be calm. These are just normal flames, which can't causes much damage to fire, or water based beings. Makes for a good, quick barbeque too.
Shadowflame (Element: Darkness/Shadow):
His heart must be filled with anger, vengeance, or hatred. Does terrible damage to beings of the light element, causing unnatural wounds and burns, withering the flesh. The flames are coloured black.
Angelflame (Element: Light):
The knight's heart must be filled with righteousness, passion, and nobility. Protecting the innocent instead of harming the guilty. The bright white flames does mass damage to dark/shadow element beings, also causing extremely unnatural burns and withering of the flesh.

Personality: Seth is a firm believer in breaking the rules to do what he feels is right. He is a carefree soul like his friend, Raven. Although, sometimes he takes the breaking of the rules too far. He relies on lady luck one too many times, and each time his luck comes through. He can be sometimes hot headed and ignorant, but he regrets being that way, and so, he is quick to apologize. He has a strong belief in protecting his friends and family. He is a knight, killing people is in his job, but he feels an incredible amount of guilt if he kills an innocent person. Brave and true, he will stand on the frontlines of any war to save or uphold the good of any kingdom.
Character Biography: Seth was born into a family of knights, even his mother was a famed knight. He had two brothers, also knights. He was the youngest of the three. His father was skilled at fighting with a lance and sword. From the time Seth was ten, his father started to train him at wielding both sword and lance, but, Seth was never interested in holding something as short as a knight’s sword. He concentrated on honing his skills at lance wielding.
The first time he met Raven was when he was sixteen years old, Raven was fifteen. They both met up at a small village near the castle town. It was night, the villagers were in a rage; some of them had found a small horse that they thought had belonged to the devil. The horse was a dark brown and it had demonic red eyes. Raven was practicing his sword wielding in tranquility when he had heard the raucous in the village. Seth was spending some time with his friends at a nearby inn. They both saw the horse being detained. The villagers were stoning it and shouting remarks such as;
“Burn the devil!”
“It will destroy us all!”
Seth readied his iron lance and ran into the midst of everything attempting to free the bound horse. He was late, the only thing he saw when he got there was a green tinted blade flash in the moonlight as it rose up and sliced the ropes that bound the horse. The figure with the blade grabbed Seth, who was about to be stoned for the interruption and both mounted the horse and with a quick slap to the horses rear, it took off. The horse rode on for a while before they found a grove of trees to rest in. The two looked at each other.
“You’re Raven! I’ve heard about you.” Seth remarked.
Raven chuckled, “Is that good or bad?”
Seth laughed a bit before introducing himself. He then asked about what they were going to do with the horse. If they allow it to go free, the villagers would surely find it again. Raven thought that Seth should keep it.
“What?!”
“Well, Seth, you should keep the horse, it looks perfectly normal, and I already have a horse.”
“Well, I suppose…”
With those words, Seth led the horse to his stables. The normal horses were frightened and they neighed and kicked with fury. Neither Seth nor Raven knew that the horse was a demon. Seth told his parents about the horse and that he decided to keep it, since he needed a horse of his own. The name that was given to the horse, Rusty, was because of the horse’s brown colour while all other valiant steeds were white or black. With his new companion, Seth began training harder, honing his skills with the lance on the horse. One day, kept at the training, but something happened, the horse burst into flames while he was aboard. Seth was amazed, he watched the fire flow around him, he watched his clothes that were on fire, but it did neither him nor his apparel any harm. Rusty slowed down and the fire died. The horse kneeled forcing the young knight to get off. Seth could see the horse was tired, so he let it rest. To add to his amazement, his father presented him with his red lance, and asked him for a name. A name that would be revered. For example, Seth’s mother’s name was ‘The Silver Shield’, his father’s was ‘The Shadowed Knight’. Seth thought for a moment, he spied the red lance, and he remembered Rusty.
“The Flaming Lance.”
“A fitting name,” his father replied, “for the one who will be wielding that lance.”
Two years later, he had heard of his friend’s departure from Taraine. Hurt by this, Seth decided to go after him, as, in those two years that passed, they have been through much together. They were more than friends, they were brothers. Seth dropped his armor, armed with only his lance and his mind; he set out to find his friend. Seth had left Rusty behind, and made a promise that he will come back someday.
***
He had settled down for a while. Not seeking out battles, not responding when Taraine called for him. Rusty was too old now, it aged faster than humans and within the span of a few months he was too brittle to participate in battle. Seth cared for Rusty until he received a letter from the empire that he could not ignore.
He set out for home and infiltrated Taraine’s castle to find out the truth. The letter had said that his home had been taken over by a tyrant, Raven’s father. Seth decided that he would get the help of the neighbouring kingdom which was preparing for war. He also decided to not find and involve Raven in this, as it may be too painful for him to come back to this.
During his time with the other kingdom of Riviran, he was introduced to a fairly new set of knights who rode tame wyverns into battle. This was where he met and was bound with Ebony, his wyvern. He also found that he had a knack for riding in the sky, causing Ebony to warm up to him faster.
***
While preparing for the war just outside Taraine, he encountered Raven and Arina, who wanted to join forces with Riviran’s army. Seth’s superior agreed to let them in. In the battle, Arina, Seth and Raven fought the king of Taraine in the skies. In a risky move, Raven found himself upon his father’s wyvern, but instead of killing his father directly, he killed the beast instead.
He was rescued by Arina and Seth. They watched the king’s wyvern crash into the earth with the king still on it.
After the battle, Raven was proclaimed to be the new king, but his love for adventuring made him turn over the title to Seth instead. Seth would be known as king until Princess Laurania was wed. He also established the Court Ranks, and the people gave the warriors their titles.
