The Story

The earth was becoming a desolate place. Time was running out for its denizens. However, a new energy was discovered that save mankind from the brink of desolation and provide them with unlimited power that would allow them to create a new place of dwelling. This energy was called Soul Energy, or SE, by the society that discovered it. The energy seemed to originate from outside the milky way galaxy, but some arrived to the earth by meteor.

The new energy, SE, was so powerful, they found out it could lift buildings and even cities into the sky with ease! So, all the dwellers of the earth worked together and constructed shuttles that ran on Soul Energy so that they could make it beyond the milky way galaxy and find a new place to reside.

They did just so and after a couple decades of work with the never ending Soul Energy, look how far it has brought them! In the middle of Lancarta -the first city ever built after mankind escaped their horrid fate- was The Great Portal, a huge gate that led to other floating cities.

Many seeked to control the portal, for whoever could claim the portal for their own, could gain access and rule over all of the floating cities. But, that's why Lancarta's Knights Academy was formed. People usually weren't affected by Soul Energy, but some seemed to be chosen by this energy. Chosen to protect it. Those people made up Lancarta's Knights, and created the academy that was to protect The Great Portal.

All races lived in peace, until... some chosen ones abused their powers and use it for evil. The Soul Energy wouldn't allow it, therefore these people were cursed by The Soul Energy and the only way they could live is by killing people and taking their blood, and using it to replenish their deteriorating bodies. That evil race were named, The Exiled.

RPC Name:Callagar Zangetsu Darksbane
Sex: Male
Age:39
Race: Exile
Power(s) Description:The majority of his abilities are harnessed through his weapon where he is able to bend degrees of light and particle concentration. Near molecular separation but with a neutralizing effect, in sense of that from high concentration of molecular separation of airborne particles such as oxygen and nitrogen it gives him a near gold glow when he strikes as he enveloped by high concentrations of electrons.
Rapid moving hydraulically powered pumped from his left shoulder reservoirs allows him to pertain to having super human strength and speed, his pressure build can reach 6000 psi which allows him to promote the swings of his weapon as he cuts air.
Backup Hydraulic Supply power concentrated in his right should promotes movement of his suit as well as the powering of his Auxiliary Power Unit allows him to self charge his suit through the intake of air and use of bleed air to spin the fan blades to his Electronic Processing Unit
Callagar's suit is made up of a Titanium-Carbon 60 deposit which allows the suit to feel lighter than it should as movement is backed up by hydraulic power. Also making it dense and tough when impacted and heated up. This allows for the suit to absorb shock on the body with high pressures of Hydraulic fluid backing it up to absorb impact shock. Small rotating gyros in his calves and forearms that are constantly dropping through magnetic rings allow for a constant electrical charge to surge through his legs. This also allows for him to self ground compensating for the expanding electrical charge of his suit. The high concentration of the electricity from the suit is dispersed or relieved through a short electrical ground wave.

His helmet uses a short comparing compensator to manage incoming movements and distances from him at a 360 degree sweeping effect. This short burst of high neutron and electron frequency often gives people around him the feeling of their inside's heating up. Long exposure to the frequency hasn't been tested but he doesn't normally use his helmet in crowded areas.

Inside the helmet it shows the changing pressures of the suit, hydraulic heat, electrical concentration, and Auxillary Power Unit to Electronic Processing Unit Control. Noise Cancelers allow him to concentrate in high noise areas, and the ringing sound of objects colliding with his helmet itself.
Weapon(s):A heavy etched broadsword, described armor above
Personality:A very proud combatant, not very temperamental but always gets caught up in the moment which was one of his downfalls. Due to his current state he is always looking to redeem himself in every action he does, hoping it can bring him inner peace
Bio:His family considered exiles for their hellish ways forced Callagar as a child to live with his father, an exile in his own. Living in Solitude with his father he was constantly corrected and heavily burdened by the ways of his father. A very judgmental life Callagar's heritage was that of a combatant. Although when he choose his path of battle he was alone in his choice. Not seeking anyone or anything particular he saw the rise of people wrapping elements around, something he couldn't do. At the age of twenty two he sought powers, he trained his mind and body for five years to harness what he could. He had no results,his luck changed finally a blades master Suigon took him under his wing at the age of twenty seven. After Ten years of studying with the blades master it was final that we would not be able to harness powers like those he had heard stories and seen about. Before the Blades master left him to continue his journeys he etched for him a blade embedded with his personal insignia. When Suigon left, Callagar found use of the blade as he trained alone, quickly he noticed that the blade was different it was a special blade. The faster he swung with the blade in the light he could see small crescents of gold and black follow the blade. After two years of crafting he created a larger blade around the original or Suigon's, and his own plated armor from research and creativity. Now with his new armor allowing hims to swing harder and faster Callagar watched magnificently as he twirled the blade creating Shadowy rifts in the wind, and golden lines with the breeze. Slamming his blade into the ground he was able to watch the dirt beneath him split in each direction the edge of his blade went. He would return to the great cities, the portal and find himself a new, exiled by old relations his crazing for blood had slowed with the taste of animals yet he still felt it every now and then.

Suigon had left a weapon with her, a large claymore with his Insignia on it, to show she was his student. Ten years of Masha's life went by quickly as she trained her abilities on those who were weaker than her, and bending her soul energy about the world. Drinking blood from her fallen foes, and absorbing their Soul Energy into her own, she became stronger.
