Kaskadia Rook

Rook is the former Deva of The Phantasma, and the current Tykon of the military of Svarga. The position of 'Tykon' is granted to those who have demonstrated superb judgement and skill within the fields of tactical command, strategy, leadership, and their own personal physical prowess. The Tykon maintains complete authority over all matter relating to the armed forces of Svarga, and is the figure on The Council that does not hold the title of 'Technarch.'

As such, Rook finds herself now with great influence over the affairs of the nation, though she herself doesn't care much for politics, simply wishing to see the integrity of the nation remain stable, and herself is more of a fighter than a complex thinker herself.

## Personality

Rook is generally an aloof personality, only becoming noticeably animated when she is on the battlefield, or arguing for something she cares for.

## Abilities & Powers

### Physical Prowess

Rook is an incredibly talented fighter, and has solidified her proficiency in martial combat with the skill. She is a situationally-quick thinker, and is very light on her feet. Wielding a spear, her style of combat mostly revolves around zone control and rapid strikes.

### Fighting Style

Rook is a master practitioner of the martial art Mitsuori-dō, and has mastered the Spell Art of Ice, in addition to having developed the advanced technique of classical elemental immunity, which essentially makes the user able to dispel the effects of Spell Arts, or their relevant natural element, upon one's body by coating oneself with an extremely thin layer of outward-seeking aether. While one may be able to manifest this technique, further manipulating the aether is exponentially more difficult than simply raising it as a barrier.

Rook's usage of Ice allows her to draw additional power from the moisture within the air, freezing it and using it to further increase her available capacity towards manipulation over the art

* Can draw water particles towards her, though cannot send them away without solidifying them as Ice
* Most often uses her Spell Art defensively, hardening ice to form a makeshift shield
* Alternatively, can be used to form rather dangerous weapons, or coat the tip of an existing weapon (by hardening Ice and making it 'sharp')

## Equipment

Rook's spear is a Spellblade enhanced with the "natural" element of nether, and is one of the three nether Spellblades in existence, the other two residing within the hands of Keinen Shana & Sakurei Korra, respectively.

Unlike the aforementioned two, however, Rook has found herself able to utilize her weapon without the risk of unprecedented damage caused by the nether within, her having found a way to refine the output of the nether, though she has not disclosed how. Aside from this increased level of precision, it functions relatively the same as any other Spellblade would, able to coat the tip of the blade with nether, as well as being able to launch projectiles of nether as well. Compared to the other two nether blades, these projectiles can travel much greater distance, perhaps due to the refinement of the slash itself.
