Name- Chrynos Necroverus
Pronounciation- Cer-Rai-Nos Ne-Cer-Ro-Vee-Rus
Hidden Meaning- Greek and Latin
Chrynos is a Greek word and in English, it means gold. And by gold, it means the raw material that is found in mines that has yet to be refined. In this case, it means that Chrynos is a someone who has yet to unleash his potential and shine like the gold he was made to be. Necroverus has two words in it. Both words are perceived to be Latin. Necro, a Latin word, means night. His father is a drow and drows are famous for their night life. Verus means reality. Whether or not this is linked to his 'final' is unknown, but one can guess that Chrynos was not the only one in his family that was able to use the Lacer Verus.

Race- Half-Drow, Half-Human
Class- Ninja
Final- Lacer Verus
Translated from Latin, Lacer Verus literally means Torn Reality. With this ability, Chrynos is able to teleport himself and an opponent into an alternate dimension where his physical capabilities will be increased ten-fold. Time in this dimension? Depends entirely on Chrynos' stamina. Also, in this dimension, the enemy will deprived of his ability to conjure magic. This takes a toll on Chrynos' body, though. His physical capabilities are forced to increase and his muscles will definitely suffer under the forced tension and pressure. To the extent that after this ability, Chrynos will be deprived his ability to move, depending on the amount of time spent in Lacer Verus. With every 10 seconds that passes, Chrynos will require an approximate one hour of time when given undisturbed and unenchanted rest. Though, there is completely no limits as to how many people he can fit into the dimension, but having more enemies inside means him needing to spend more time beating them up, and in Chrynos' case, time is of utmost importance.
----------------------------
{Weapon information} Sabre Claws
The Sabre Claws are a personalised set of weapons that can be considered as knives. The blades are about 6 inches, or 15 centimeters, long. It is held in such a way that the tip of the blade is made to point outwards, away from each other when held side to side. The whole weapon is curved, and so is the handle. It is held with the palm on the longer side of the handle and the fingers around the shorter curve. On the inner sides of his fist, the blades have been molded to form curved spikes that will increase the grazing ability of Chryno's punches. The handles are made of wood from an elven forest, blessed with the magic of durability, wrapped in a coating of wolf skin and leather for increased grip. The blades themselves are made of a light yet strong and hard metal that seems to shine under the moonlight. It is believed that the metal was wielded from the remains of a meteor found in the deeper parts of the Divine Hills.
When not being used, they are sheathed into two leather pouches, located on each of his outer thighs. The leather pouches are like knife sheathes. The only difference is that they are worn sideways. Considering that Chrynos' blade is pointed at a different direction, the blade is placed sideways into the sheathe, instead of the normal downwards. The sheathes are placed in such a way that Chrynos does not need to bend his knees to be able to draw both knives and also that it does not hinder his movement at all. Also, there is an enchantment on this pouch that enables only Chrynos to remove the weapons from the sheathes.
Only one enchantment has been discovered on the weapons so far and it is to make them indestructable. The sheathes are enchanted too, in such a way that it does not allow anyone else save the rightful owner, which in this case is Chrynos, to draw it from the sheathe.
{Armour Information} Shadow's Cloak
A simple set of clothing of a black long-sleeved V-Neck shirt. Under this shirt, Chrynos wears a fishnet shirt, the basic armour of any ninja. He wears a pair of black fingerless leather gloves that allows him better grip of his weapon and also resistance whenever he is punching anyone with the Sabre Claws. A pair of loose black cargo pants that is latched onto his body by a belt and is tucked into his cloth shoes. On his black shirt is a design of a silver cross, the longer end being at the top and the shorter at the bottom, expressing his hatred for Gods and other such beings. Other than this and the Shadow's necklace, Chrynos wears no other attire for combat. True, Chrynos is one active individual when it comes to combat, which is why he has three complete sets of this attire which he carries in a black duffel bag. There are times when Chrynos wears a black hooded cloak. This is only the times when he is traveling casually and not in combat. Also, he wears them to often conceal his identity, especially in times of when he is 'under cover' and hunting for information. Of course, Chrynos does not have such a bleek sense of fashion. He has other clothes too. Preference in clothes? That would be mentioned further on.
Any enchantment on the armour has yet to be discovered.
{Accessory Information} Shadow's Necklace
A leather-string necklace with a symbol of the Necro Ninjas. This is always worn by Chrynos. It represents the band of ninjas that had raised him. It used to belong to the leader of the band of ninjas, but before his death, he gave the necklace to the young Chrynos. Little did the male know that it was related to his 'Final'. It helped to amplify the effects of the Final, both on his victim and on himself. The origin of the necklace is unknown, but it seemed to have been made by the same material of the Sabre Claws, both of them gifts from the leader of the Necro Ninjas. Whenever Chrynos uses his 'final', the Shadow's Necklace will then seem to defy gravity as it starts to float upwards, before disappearing. If one was a mage, they would then sense that the magic that was wrapped around this dimension would only become stronger. Of course, the necklace reappears when his final is deactivated.
{Physical Description}
With a pimple-less and wrinkle-less face, Chrynos can be considered handsome by most. He has been graced by the perfect looks of the drows, the fallen elves. He has a fair skin complexion, a gift from his human mother, and his red eyes were inherited from his drow father. Chrynos is physically fit and has a well-built and beautiful body under all that clothing. His skin is smooth as he holds little body hair. Chrynos has a very peculiar choice in hair style too. His hair is long and messy, but that is not what makes it peculiar. Some of his hair has had their tips dyed red, while others were completely highlighted red. One reason for this is not only to compliment his red eyes but also to express his love for blood. Under his good care, Chrynos' teeth are pearly-white and strong. And also, amazingly, Chrynos was not gifted with the beautiful pointed ears of a half-drow. Though, if one looked hard enough, they would be able to see the slightly pointed curve on the top of his ears. He has fangs, yes, but they are considerably small and can be almost considered as human.
Chrynos is somewhat averagely-sized for a half-drow. He stands at 5'10'' and weighs 170 pounds. He may not look like it but he is muscular. No, he is not a powerhouse. He makes it a point to keep his muscle tones in control as having too much muscles hinders one's speed and flexibility, two factors that makes a ninja a ninja. He has a slender body, nonetheless, smooth-skinned too. Among his whole body, he only bears a single scar and it is located over his right chest, where his heart is. Over it is a cross shaped scar, one line three times longer than the other, the shorter one about 1 inch long. This was given to him by his father when he turned insane.
His arms and legs, much due to his drow blood, are slightly longer than an average human's and are also a lot more flexible. Muscles on his limbs are often hidden under his clothing, thus often causing the young male to often be mistaken as muscle-less. They are always wrong, of course. Chrynos has muscles in his limbs too, but he keeps them in check as he favours speed and flexibility over strength. Also, under his large intake of daily calcium, Chrynos' bones have developed yet and is almost steel-hard. As so the rest of his body, his skin is milky-smooth, kept under good-condition by the young male himself. No, it is not to look good, but he simply hates seeing body hair on his torso, arms and legs. This may be because his father never really shaved his face nor his arms, legs whatever. And Chrynos does not want to be his father at all, despite knowing that he had his mother's best interest at heart.
In terms of preference in clothing, Chrynos can be considered gothic in some way. He does not like to wear bright colours and prefer to clad himself in colours like black, blue, brown, grey and less than often, white. There are a few no-no's for Chrynos in terms of attire too. He does not wear shorts that go above his knees, for he find such clothing a bit too revealing for his comfort. He also does not like wearing sandals and personally prefers wearing his cloth shoes. He's not really much of a beach person, anyway. There are a flew pieces of clothing that Chrynos would always be wearing, though. Those, would be his fishnet shirt, which is short-sleeved and skin tight, his Shadow's Necklace and his leather gloves. Chrynos is always ready for battle, in short.
{Personality}
Now, personality is something that is a complete mess with it comes to Chrynos. He has a very, very complex personality and more than often, he is mistaken to still be suffering from the emotional effects of the small period of time called puberty. Being an orphan and a ninja, he finds it hard to truly trust and respect people, especially authority. He does not judge people easily and as such, his trust and respect comes late too. True, he may not be rude, but he may not be that friendly to you too on your first meeting, unless you give a very, very good first impression to him. Once you have received his trust and respect, though, Chrynos can go as far as risking his life for that person or even trusting his life with him or her. He values close relationships well and having lost his family, he tries to make it a point not to make too many of such bonds to prevent himself from getting hurt again.[/size]
Being an orphan, Chrynos has a very good knowledge in terms of pains in life, suffering and loneliness, though he tries to show neither three. He realised that by doing so, he'd only be bothered more by people. When around people, Chrynos is very sociable, likes to have fun and is an enjoyable company to have. Though, when tired or when he feels the urge to, he would find an empty spot, where he would be alone, and simply stare at whatever view he is able to get. At this moment, he can either be pondering on a certain issue, or simply just relaxing himself. Of course, interruptions are frequent, but he does not let it bother him, especially when the interruptions are people he can comfortably talk to.
There are times, though, when Chrynos simply does not want to be disturbed. These are often the times when he finds himself thinking back about the two special nights of his life. One being the death of his parents and the other being the death of Nero. When he thinks back about the former, one would often see him clutching at his right chest, where the cross scar, his father's memento for him, can be found. When he thinks about his second father's death, though, he clutches at the Shadow's Necklace, the symbol of the Necro Ninjas, the family that was taken away from him by force. Both flashbacks are very emotional in his case and when disturbed during this moments, Chrynos loses his temper almost all the time and will not hesitate to lash out on the disturbance, be it human, drow, demon whatever. He simply hates being disturbed at these moments.
When he was young, he saw no difference between males and females, just that females were undeniably physically weaker than the males. He does not let this get in the way of making friends with everyone, though. Now, after his parents' death, he realised that losing people who you had close relationships was very painful. At his current state, he knows that the only kind of people he can make such close relationships with were really trusted friends and of course, a girlfriend, neither of which Chrynos has an urge of finding. But as a wise man once said, time changes everything.
He has a good sense of friendship and honour, allowing him to make acquaintances or friends easily. He has two circles of trust, one being friends and the other his close friends, the latter being the harder to get into. He has a strong belief of 'comradeship' and despises anyone who mistreats their own comrades, even if they are Chrynos' enemies. He also has a good sense of self-confidence and determination and when given a task or given an opportunity, he will stop at nothing to achieve it.
In battle, one can say that Chrynos is a completely different person. He does not hesitate. He does not panic. He does what needs to be done in order to do the job, even if it takes killing. Now, Chrynos hesitates not in taking lives as from the age of nine, he has already done so. In fact, he now lives by the code of 'Kill or be killed', influenced mostly by his father and the ninjas. And less than often, he sometimes enters a feral state where his bloodlust reaches a certain point where Chrynos would mercilessly hammer down on his opponent, most often at times in his Lacer Verus. Chrynos also has a habit of cutting at the throat area, where a major artery can be found. This is due to the fact that when a throat is cut, blood sprays outwards more than any other part of the body. Also, you don't die just yet. You simple fall on the ground, clutching at your open throat, as you gasp for air while trying to endure the pain and wait slowly and painfully for you to die. Not a very nice way of dying, but that is how Chrynos takes down his opponents.
Cunning, yet reckless. Chrynos has plenty of experience and has fought different kind of opponents in his time. He has a wide knowledge of different attacks from different styles, though he is unable to do most of them. He does know how to counter, though. Now, Chrynos is cunning in the sense that he has a knack of making quick and complex strategies and attack patterns so as to both trick and decapitate opponents, especially those that are stronger than him. He is reckless in the sense that he would sometimes risk his body to even land a perfect strike on an opponent. He makes use of adrenaline to suppress pain and keeps it at a bearable level, if possible, of course. This is only, though, when he is at the right state of mind.
{Background}
Chrynos was born to a drow father and a human mother. His father was an exile among his drow village for having involved sexually with a human counterpart, though he feels no regret for it. He has fallen too deep in love with Chrynos' mother to just leave her like that. Chrynos' mother too was shunned by the human society for the same involvement. And to escape from the predicament that they had gotten themselves in, they moved to the plains located in between both their villages, building a simple wooden house and lived there. Nine months later, Chrynos was introduced to the world.
Now, the happy family lived a simple life with their only child, Chrynos, until the day his mother fell sick. Yes, sick. Very, very sick. As Chrynos' father left the house to look for medicine and herbs for his mother, Chrynos was left at home to take care of his mother. It was indeed a difficult night for the young half-drow as he watched the life of his mother being taken away ever so slowly. And then, the father went home. Chrynos was glad, for a moment. As he laid his eyes on his father's face, he was instantly enveloped in fear. On his father's right hand, he held a knife. Quickly he approached Chrynos, enveloping his left hand around the young male's neck. His words that night has been haunting him ever since then, every single night.
"I have found a way to save your mother, but I need your heart, my child. I need your heart."
Chrynos panicked. He had found a spell to transfer his heart into her mother's body. As much as he wanted to save his mom, he wanted to live too. He was too young to die. His father slashed at him, cutting him across the chest, but not enough to fatally injure him. Chrynos kicked at his father, yelling in panic as he released himself from his father's grip. He ran around the house, escaping his father's hold as much as he could, only to receive another slash to his chest, where his heart was, this one shorter than the other. It was until he reached the kitchen did he arm himself with a knife. Using his own blood to blind his father, he leapt at him, thrusting the knife into his throat. Now, Chrynos had yet to figure out why he did that. Perhaps because he wanted to live, or maybe it was some kind of natural thirst to shed blood.
That night, he killed his father and could only stand by and watch his mother die. That was one night he could, and would, never forget. The night where his whole life was thrown into hell. In fear of getting hunted down for killing his father by mercenaries, bounty hunters or the nearby town police, he set the house on fire. He stood by, watching as his memories, his family, his home slowly turned to ashes. With that behind, he departed, blaming himself for the death of both his parents.
Leaving with only a single set of clothing, he was then picked up by a band of ninjas after he succeeded in stealing some rich man's golden artifact at the age of 10, one year after his parent's death. These ninjas, who were called the Necro Ninjas, found an instant liking to him, much due to his bloodlust. In fact, they even treated him as a family. They took him in and taught him the ways of the ninja. Now, the leader of the ninjas, Nero, too found an intense liking in the young half-Drow. In fact, he even gave the young male his old set of weapons, the Sabre Claws. Knives made from the ore of a meteorite and enforced by simple magical spells. The feelings were not one-way, though, as Chrynos too started to develop a liking to them. In fact, he even considered him his new family and thought of them as his second chance in life.
Apparently, Nero, had found that his necklace reacted everytime Chrynos fought. A sign he interpreted as Chrynos being special in some way. Some way he had never gotten to find out until Chrynos turned 17.
While they were resting out at a forest, they had been ambushed by bounty hunters and hired mercenaries, outnumbered and outarmed beyond compare. The Necro Ninjas fought hard to protect themselves and each other as they tried to survive the onslaught of the ambushers, but to no avail. They were slain and murdered to the very last two man, who happened to be the Nero and Chrynos himself. As he watched the man that had raised him for seven years, treated him like his very own son, loved him, cared for him, and everything, get slain down by the ambushers, Chrynos simply lost it. He went into a state of feral rage as he used his Sabre Claws and started to fight back with renewed strength.
That was when his 'final' was discovered as suddenly, the whole surroundings turned into a vortex of black and purple. Being too much in rage to even wonder how, Chrynos found his strength and speed amplified manifold. With the renewed abilities, he swiftly slaughtered the ambushers two by two, his Sabre Claws cutting open their throats as blood sprayed in all directions. It took him less than twenty minutes to destroy the whole battalion, his final automatically deactivating. Then, the numb and limpless Chrynos toppled forward, right beside Nero.
Before he fell unconscious, though, he listened to his 'father's' last words intently, letting it cut deep into his memory, as deep as his real father's words had entered.
"Live long and live free, Chrynos. You are a potential warrior. And bring with you the symbol of the Necro Ninjas."
Those were his last words before he pulled the necklace off his head, placing it on top of Chrynos' chest. The young male, too fatigue to move, could only reply with a moan. The next day, after a whole day's rest, Chrynos finally woke up in the center of the battlefield, the stench of blood and rotting flesh filling his nose. Burying his comrade's corpses, Chrynos decided to fulfill his 'father's' last wish for him. He was a potential warrior, and he would unleash that potential.
After a year long of training and travel, he had heard of an Academy that trained other warriors such as him. Taking this as the chance he had been looking for, he enrolled himself into the Academy. And here he is now, in Twilight Moon Academy.
