Bismoth Kayenta

Bismoth Kayenta is an Orc barbarian that excels in physical fighting and durability. He was the supposed leader of a powerful orc clan, but left and stayed on the run until he was kidnapped and lost most of his memories through a strange encounter. Now as a member of the Starrite Guardians, Bismoth is the loyal tank of the team. However, his past began to resurface, prompting Bismoth to face it head on.

## Appearance

Bismoth Kayenta is a large green-skinned Orc with brown eyes and a broken tusk. He is tall and very muscular as a result from his expertise in brutish physical combat. He wears nothing but brown shorts with bones and brown boots. Additionally, he has a scar across his face, including his left eye.

## Brief History

Bismoth was the chief of a powerful orc clan. This clan included Death Knights while being feared across multiple territories. However, for currently unknown reasons, Bismoth abandoned his position of chief and fled from the clan. This was seen as a disgrace of the highest order, and the Death Knights began a hunt for their former chief. Not long after, he was found by mysterious Tina.

Bismoth woke up within a nursing home located in the Lorilands while having lost most of his memories to Dominus. He allied himself with other unique individuals and worked together to cover each others weaknesses. They formed the Starrite Guardians together, employing Bismoth as a key physical fighter. The orc highly focused on further developing his endurance and overall durability.

The Starrites later ran into Eldei and the Order of the Moon, who were intent on destroying anything from dark origins, including Bismoth. Some Death Knights also caught up to the team in search of both him and Grot, likeminded runaways. Bismoth has grown stronger, and with his team, now believes he should stop running from his past and confront his aggressors head on.

## Abilities

Bismoth is the champion of physical endurance. In a battle of attrition, he will always win. This is partly due to his Orcish body but also focus and training. Apart from that, he also has offensive techniques.

* **Multilingualism-** Bismoth is capable of speaking and understanding both common and orcish.
* **Orc Physiology-** His natural Orc body gives Bismoth a large physical advantage over others. He is very strong, durable, and resistant to damage, even for normal Orc standards.
	+ **Enhanced Durability-** Bismoth's durability and endurance go beyond his other qualities. Apart from his thick Orcish skin, he can withstand a high amount of damage before needing to rest.
	+ **Damage Negation-** His endurance has reached the astonishing level of outright negating damage from every attack he takes, sometimes not being damaged at all, making him a reliable tank.
		- **Orc Toughness-** Bismoth can do nothing but focus on defense to temporarily negate even more incoming damage. If attacked during this state, his damage increases on his next attack.

* **Barbaric Rage-** Using the full extent of his barbaric nature, Bismoth can concentrate all his strength and power into a flurry of attacks. This allows him to attack at a much faster pace, but the effect wears off quickly, and can only be done sparingly. It temporarily reduces his movement afterwards.
* **Weaponry Skills-** He has extraordinary marksmanship with a variety of weapons, most notably blunt, crusher-types. He has even been able to use weapons to their maximum proficiency, dealing more damage with greater accuracy than other individuals would be able to.
	+ **Executioner-** Using any axe or sharp weapon, Bismoth can explicitly aim for the neck, dealing additional damage to the opponent.
	+ **Valkyrie Spin-** This technique involves Bismoth using any weapon to spin in a circle, damaging anyone in his immediate proximity, for twenty percent of his stamina.

## Equipment

His main form of dealing damage is through weapons. Consequently, most of his items are primarily used for attack. His strong body gives him the capacity to wield heavier, more powerful weapons.

* **Blaze Guards-** Gifted to him by the Queen of Madre, this accessory-type item covers part of Bismoth's body. He can use them, and a bit of mana, to ram into his opponents. They also use slight fire magic.
* **Surge Gauntlet-** Obtained from an opponent in the Grey Plains, this gauntlet has a strong punch that chains lightning damage onto other nearby enemies. With mana, it can also perform a pound attack that similarly deals area damage while also slightly pulling in enemies.
	+ **Block-** At the cost of stamina, Bismoth can quickly use the gauntlet to block, reducing the damage from any incoming attacks. It supports the rest of his Orcish abilities.
* **Giantsman Halberd-** Also won from the Gray Plains, this halberd not only has the usual damaging swing, but can also use stamina to hit the ground, splitting it and causing the shockwave that hits any enemy straight ahead of it. Additionally, at the cost of both mana and stamina, Bismoth can offensively throw the halberd and have it teleport back into his hand.
* **Bionic Flail-** Taken from a defeated Tauroleo, the powerful mechanical weapon can hit hard with above-average melee range. It needs a lot of strength to wield, which is not a problem for Bismoth, but must be occasionally recharged by Aurghnamm.

## Weaknesses

* **Mental Attacks-** As a contrast to his overwhelming physical strength, Bismoth is quite vulnerable to mental manipulation. Forms of hypnotization and trickery are highly effective against the slightly unintelligent barbarian.
* **Stamina Meter Drain-** If one of his moves or items consumes too much stamina, it leaves him tired and in a vulnerable state. His stamina can always replenish after some time or even with Stamina Potions, but if completely drained of stamina, he is rendered unable to use any of his more powerful attacks.
* **Low Mana-** Bismoth does not fight with spells and has very underdeveloped magical capabilities. He struggles with anything beyond the simple cantrip and gets tired very easily. He relies on his stamina.
* **Weapon Dependent-** Although having strong weapons, Bismoth seems to rely on them more than what he would prefer. If stripped of his weapons Bismoth is left rather vulnerable, and in no position for a fight.

## Trivia

* The name Bismoth was chosen as an altered version of the metal named "Bismuth."
* Mau was originally deciding between Human and Orc, contemplating which could be the best tank, and chose Orc.
