Kyro Bladespawn

"*Do you have any **IDEA** what it's like living in my father's shadow? The incessant comparisons, the hero worship based solely on the fact that I am **his son**... I don't want to be known as **Trojan's Son**, I want to carve my name in the stars, have it known throughout the most hallowed halls of Corpus what **I** achieved on my **own**... And NOVA is the first step on that path." -* Kyro Bladespawn to Corpus Overlord Vulture

## Bio

Kyro is the Eldest son of Corpus Overlord Trojan Bladespawn, and his wife Rainfall. He was schooled in standard Bladespawn training for most of his life, in addition to standard Corpus infantry training. He took an immense interest in the NOVA Corps, and has studied everything he can about them thoroughly.

During this time, he became resentful of his father's reputation as he felt others continually put his accomplishments down to "being Trojan's son" rather than his actual skill or competence. This inspired a feverish ambition in young Kyro, so much in fact that the took the NOVA Initiative aptitude tests 2 years earlier- and expressly against his father's wishes- than most other recruits, and passed, additionally testing positive for the Reaper's Syndrome.

## Peer Review

### **Vulture**

*"His skills were never in dispute. Unfortunately, he has it stuck in his head that people only think that because he's Trojan's kid. And that gives way to his real flaw: He thinks he has something to prove."*

### **Trojan**

*"...I recognize that this is my son's decision to make... but my wishes still remain for him to stay away from NOVA. I have no doubt his skills will improve... but I think he could use a bit of humility from being in the ground forces. I also fear he may very well pick up some negative influences from Captain Ranger..."*

## Personality

Kyro feels an intense need to prove himself, to escape his father's reputation and create his own. This is not so say he is self-centered, but rather fueled by a desperate glory-seeking. He is usually the first to volunteer, regardless of whether he may be capable of performing a task. He recognizes this attribute, but is reluctant to acknowledge it as a flaw instead of a strength.

He tends to draw the line at disrespecting the chain of command... though that might change with a little influence from Ranger.

## Appearance

A Rottweiler- Labrador mix.

He wears the standard NOVA Corps black jumpsuit with a few plates of kyanite armor. His equally black helmet can fold away, revealing his face. He also wears the usual Bladespawn tattered cape and hood, though his are a deep red.

## Weapons and Skills

He wields a 3 and 1/2 foot longsword, as opposed to the dual scimitars usually wielded by his family. His blade is magically enhanced, enabling him to light it with ethereal fire at will. Due mostly to his age and inexperience, he is below most other swordsman in the setting, but is projected to end up among their ranks.

He has also expressed a certain brutal, if unskillful, capacity for hand-to-hand combat.

## Trivia

* He is based on Kylo Ren from the Star Wars franchise (which does not exist in this universe). His helmet is reminiscent of Kylo Ren's.
