## Personality

Tempest is kind, but only to those that are very close to him. He will go to great lengths to protect those he cares for, and is a loyal friend. However, Tempest is very suspicious of most people until they earn his full trust. He is fiercely independent, and prefers to do everything on his own. Thus, he typically stays away from normal social interactions which can make him come off as cold and distant to those who have not met him before. He tries to keep his reliance at a minimum, although it has been shown clearly that at some times, he is much stronger with his companions. Tempest is a very serious individual; he rarely laughs or displays emotion, and keeps all of his feelings bottled up inside. When it comes to leadership, Tempest has shown that he can take charge of an army effectively, and he is an intelligent fighter as well as a strategic planner.

## Friends and Family

### Parents

Tempest was born to Thundaerus Sendaris and Oceana Sendaris. His father was a great warrior who served as a squad leader in the Elite Task Force and was a childhood friend of Thalleous Sendaris. Thundaerus was hard on Tempest, and often challenged him to new things. He trained him in hand-to-hand combat at a very young age, and wanted Tempest to become the Ardoni Champion one day. Oceana was very protective of her son, something that Thundaerus and Tempest both disliked, due to the latter's independent nature. However, she was very kind, and loved her son very much.

### Friends

#### Aurora Nestoris

Please note that all mentions of Aurora Nestoris from this page refers to the Unsung Heroes version. While on the run from the Voltaris, a Nestoris Ardoni named Aurora stumbled into Firenis' house in Crown Peak, and she stayed there to rest. Eventually, Tempest developed a relationship with her, eventually marrying Aurora.

#### Zulius Kaltaris

Tempest met Zulius while training under Firenis. He was Tempest's best (and only) childhood friend, and the two were frequently bullied by Thilion Kaltaris, who was the brother of Zulius. When Tempest and Zulius completed their training, they went their separate ways. Tempest eventually learned of Zulius' death at the hands of the Deathsinger, and he grieved for a time.

## Story

### Early Life

Tempest was born in Sendaria, and was an unusually quiet baby who never cried or laughed. He loved to sneak off and go exploring on his own, while his mother tried to prevent him from doing so. When all the other Sendaris kids were able to crawl, Tempest was being trained in hand-to-hand combat with his father. He didn't make many friends, but didn't really care either. He liked doing things on his own, and wasn't popular among the Sendaris kids, and was even disliked. As a result, he sometimes acted cold or unfriendly towards them.

### Father's Death

When Tempest was about 10 years old in human years, Thundaerus set out with Thalleous to raid a Voltaris base. Before his father left, Thundaerus gifted Tempest with two Songs: Mobilispeed, and Aggroshock, the latter of which was passed down generation after generation in Tempest's family. Thundaerus also left behind his enchanted diamond greatsword, which he wanted Tempest to have. When Tempest asked his father what weapon he would use if he didn't have his sword or Songs anymore, Thundaerus simply replied, "There is no weapon needed for this final battle." With that, Thundaerus turned and left. He never came back. Thalleous told Tempest and his family what had happened. Thundaerus had died fighting the Voltaris, and he had sacrificed his life so Thalleous could escape. The memory of his father's leaving always haunted Tempest, and he blamed himself for letting Thundaerus go without any weapons. He sometimes wondered if his father knew that he would die. Thalleous was also greatly disturbed by his best friend's death, and the death of Hawken reminded him of Thundaerus.

### Attack of the Undead

After his father died, his mother, Oceana, became even more protective of him, and it became extremely hard to escape the cave, as his mother was watching his every move. He could only sneak out on rare occasions, and even so, he would end up in bigger trouble. So eventually, he stopped doing it. One day, at the age of 12 in human years, an army of Necromancers followed by a horde of Undead attacked the Thundaerus Family Village. Oceana drew her sword and engaged in combat, killing many Undead and Necromancers in a row. As a group of Necromancers advanced on her, she yelled for Tempest to run to Firenis' house (Firenis was his godfather), shouting out the directions to it, before Tempest lost sight of her fully as the Undead surrounded her. It was the last time he ever saw his mother. He bolted away, but a small group of Undead and two Necromancers blocked his way. He quickly smashed the Necromancers' heads together, and made quick work of the Undead; beating them up by kicking, punching, and more head-bonking (A few un-PG scenes because Undead have easily detachable heads). The Necromancers and remaining Undead were surprised, as you might be when a kid beats you and your army up. Remember, he was trained in hand-to-hand combat at an early age! Tempest then ran all the way to Firenis' house, and collapsed from exhaustion. Ever since then, he lived and trained with Firenis. Tempest also learned that his mother never survived, and went down fighting.

### Becoming Champion

Tempest learned from Firenis one day that his father wanted him to become the Ardoni Champion one day. Finally understanding all the rigorous training he had been put through by Thundaerus, he became even more determined to become bettter at Songwielding and combat, and trained even harder so he would be able to satisfy his father's wish. Firenis was impressed by the kid's perserverance, determination, and potential. He allowed Tempest to choose two other Songs from Firenis' collection, a Protisium one, and a Supporium one. Tempest considered his options carefully, and picked Protedeflect and Supporekesis. When Firenis heard news of Thalleous' death, he immediately entered Tempest into the Tournament of the Champions. His greatest opponent in the tournament was Thilion Kaltaris. After all the other opponents were eliminated, Tempest faced off against Thilion, a cunning and skilled warrior who was the brother of Zulius Kaltaris. Eventually, Tempest won the tournament, becoming Champion at the age of 20 (Human years).

### Unsung Heroes Volume 1

While on a mission to hunt down the Voltaris and prevent their return, he stumbled into Airiox Sendaris, who had been cornered by 7 Voltaris, led by Hallux Voltaris. Tempest took Airiox and escaped, but soon became exasperated he had to deal with the kid. After fleeing from a Voltaris ambush, the two escaped to Firenis' house. While there, Tempest also met Aurora Nestoris, who had inadvertently time-travelled into the present day, along with the Deathsinger and the Tidesinger. The trio (as well as Firenis) had several run-ins with Hallux and his group of Voltaris, and eventually, Firenis sacrificed his life for Tempest after diving in front of Hallux's flying battle axe. Seething with rage and filled with distress over the death of his mentor, Tempest set out with vengeance in his heart and one goal in mind: to kill Hallux Voltaris. Eventually, he got the opportunity, but he had a sudden flashback to one of Firenis' lessons in which he had said to Tempest, "Always be kind to your enemy, Tempest. They may become your greatest ally some day." So, Tempest spared Hallux and walked away. Ingressus, after hearing from Hallux what had happened, sent Tygren to deal with Tempest. The trio engaged in a battle with Tygren's small army of Voltaris, and eventually, Hallux joined in the fight by helping Tempest and his friends. Hallux had had a change of heart after being spared, and decided that he wanted to repay the favor. In the end, as Tygren hurled his sword at Tempest, Hallux sacrificed his life for him by leaping in front of the sword, similar to how Firenis had saved Tempest. After seeing what he had done, Tygren and his band of Voltaris retreated. Hallux Voltaris died, but his legacy as a Voltaris who decided to fight for good lived on forever.

### Unsung Heroes Volume 2

In Ataraxia, Airiox and his childhood friend Kaela Nestoris accidentally release the Nebulord from its prison. Tempest and Aurora show up, but the Nebulord escaped. They tell Airiox and Kaela about the Nebulord's history and how it is capable of possessing people. The four decide to track it down in order to stop it from possessing any innocent Ardoni. However, when they arrive at Kaltaria, they realize they are too late and the Nebulord has already taken control of a number of Kaltaris. Tempest attempts to fight the Nebulord, but to no avail. Eventually, he is possessed so his friends flee the scene. Tempest leads the Kaltaris Army and pursues Aurora, Airiox, and Kaela, and they are able possess Aurora. They travel to an Ocean Monument in order to free the rest of the Nebulegion, a group of more Nebulords, which was locked in the monument long ago. Airiox and Kaela follow them there. Kyo and Ash, the Channel Guardians, as well as Forest and Castor (who are there to retrieve Forest's tridents), are also roped into the ensuing skirmish, and eventually, Kaela and Castor become possessed. Airiox and Forest flee while the Channel Guardians hold off the Nebulegion. Triumphant, Tempest leads the Nebulegion to the End in order to take the Prime Songs. A battle breaks out between the Enderknights and the Nebulegion, and King Shadow of the End subdues Tempest in a fight after surprising him with an Ender Pearl. Airiox, who followed the Nebulegion there with Forest, takes the opportunity and reminds the Nebulegion of the good times that their former selves had and ask them if a world covered in darkness by the Nebulord is really what they want. Because regret and being reminded of happy times is the only cure to the Nebulord's possession, Airiox's speech causes the legion to be unpossessed and the Nebulegion is defeated. Tempest returns back to his normal self and is healed, only for Tor Mendoris, who had been biding his time, to reveal himself as the Primesinger armed with the stolen Prime Songs. He flees the scene, but Tempest and his companions know that they have a lot of work to do in order to stop the Primesinger.

### Unsung Heroes Volume 3 (to be written)

Synopsis: After breaking into the Ender Vault and stealing the Prime Songs, Tor Mendoris starts amassing an army to conquer Ardonia. Tempest and his friends do the same, and he leads the Champions Task Force to counter the Prime Army. The Knights of Ardonia are called on once again to defend Ardonia, and they join forces with the Task Force to defeat Tor Mendoris once and for all.

### Dawn of Night Era

At the end of Dawn of Night, a tournament is held to choose a new Ardoni champion to lead the clans through the rising dangers. Tempest was one of the six competitors, with the others being Kylor Kaltaris, Herculean Nestoris, Diana Mendoris, Victor Voltaris, and Kaltus Kaltaris. In the end, Kylor won. However, it was a trap in order to kill the elders and clan masters that, using a signal, Victor sprung. In the end, the clan masters were killed. However, the champions and the tournament guards managed to force the Nightsinger to retreat with the rest of his men being dead. With the tournament grounds safe, new clan masters were picked, with Tempest becoming the master of the Sendaris clan. Pledging his support to Kylor, Tempest goes off to find what warriors he can within his clan in order to help defeat the threat the Nightsinger presents.

## Weapons

### Sword

Tempest's sword is a diamond enchanted blade very similar to that of Thalleous's and Airiox's. He uses this as his primary weapon, and has trained with a sword since he was very young and training with his mentor, Firenis Kaltaris (who was also the mentor for Thalleous and Zulius).

### Staff

While Tempest usually uses his sword, he is equally as proficient with his staff. It is very similar to Voltar, and keeps it as a backup weapon when he throws his sword or loses it in battle. It has a spear tip at the bottom, so he can attack in both directions.

### Songs

#### Aggroshock

Aggroshock was passed down generation after generation in Tempest's family, and eventually fell into his hands. Tempest prefers to channel this Song through his sword, although he can use his hand instead if he wants to. This Song sends a red lightning bolt jumping in between enemies, giving it the ability to incapacitate many Ardoni at once. It can also blast things apart, as shown in Chapter 4 of the Unsung Heroes 2, when he destroyed the wall created by Xarius Kaltaris.

#### Mobilispeed

Mobilispeed is quite a tiring one, but Tempest has learned to master it. Its effects are similar to that of a speed potion, and quickens the user's movement, fighting, and other actions. He has kept it running for over 20 minutes, as shown in Unsung Heroes 1. He uses this one a lot, but he often collapses of exhaustion soon afterwards.

#### Protedeflect

Protedeflect is quite a useful Song. While he uses it less, he is glad he picked it; it spawns in a quick shield similar to Proteshield which simply deflects any projectiles or weapons fired or thrown at it. Archers hate this Song, as their own arrows usually come whizzing right back at them. While a less tiring Song, it does draw on the energy, and it is impossible to cover yourself for more than a minute at a time.

#### Supporekesis

An unknown Song previously, Supporekesis grants the user the ability to move things with their mind. He uses it against Aurora Nestoris in Chapter 4 of the Unsung Heroes 2, when he was possessed by the Nebulord. He throws a stone block from Xarius' wall at her. Basically, it allows the user to use telekinesis on nearby objects, including people if the user inputs enough energy.

## Physical Appearance

### Height

Tempest is a tall Sendaris, standing at 6 feet and 11 inches.

### Eyes

Tempest has piercing midnight blue eyes, the same shade as his markings. He inherited this color from his mother, Oceana Sendaris.

### Markings

His markings are a dark blue, almost purple shade, and it covers his entire body. He has more markings than the average Ardoni, and they glow softly. Unfortunately, since he has more markings, his glow is stronger, which is not ideal for a stealth mission. Because of this, Tempest trained hard and learned how to hide well when he has had to. He also has a mysterious way of sort of silencing this glow when needed, a way that no one has figured out yet.

### Hair

(Minecraft figures do not have hair. Tempest's IRL version is depicted here). Tempest has spiky, dark brown hair, and doesn't really care about what it looks like.

## Fighting Style

Tempest's fighting style includes acrobatic movement, rapid sword attacks, Song usage, and hand-to-hand combat. At the human age of 4, he was trained relentlessly to become one of the most powerful Champions there ever was.

### Skill Level

Tempest is equally matched with Achillean. In his prime, he can fight as well as the Deathsinger, but his relatively lower endurance would cause him to lose against Ingressus eventually.

### Strategy

Although Tempest fights on the offensive side, he will start fighting defensively at first if his opponent seems like a strong fighter. Then, once he has finished analyzing his opponent's fighting style and weaknesses, he will immediately switch back to the offensive side. Tempest usually aims to disarm or weaken his opponent, and then go in for the kill before they can recover.

### Weapon Attacks

He fights mostly offensively, and prefers to slash over jab. Tempest mostly wields his sword in battle, but if there are multiple opponents, he fights with both sword and staff. If his sword is disarmed, he will also wield his staff. His attacks are rapid and vigorous, as to weaken or tire his opponent and not give him/her enough time to retaliate. He aims to find a weakness in his opponent and will use creative attacks combining sword attacks, hand-to-hand combat, and Song usage to exploit this weakness and disarm/kill his opponent.

### Movement

Tempest moves quickly and acrobatically, and is skilled in hand-to-hand combat. He will throw kicks or punches at his opponent that are timed just right so that he can weaken or disarm the opponent easily. His reaction time is extremely quick and can dodge attacks easily.

### Song Utilization

Tempest tries to combine Song usage and his attacks strategically, as to give his opponents no time to rest. He sometimes overuses his Aggroshock song and Mobilispeed song, causing him to tire rapidly.

### Weaknesses

Tempest's weakness in battle is sometimes he will tire easily after Song overuse and other factors. This is extremely true if his opponent is able to endure his attacks until he tires out. Also, if he takes a really hard blow, his self-confidence will deteriorate and his attacks will become weaker.
