Lykel

"Life to the revolution!"

**Ichiyuu Amane, or 'Lykel'**, is a hotblooded young man seeking to become a great hero. He is obscure and unknown in Ashenland, speaking with a slightly foreign accent.

## Appearance

He's wearing a full set of dark blue heavy armor. A narrow yellow cape falls down from his back, and two blue lights appear where his eyes would be. He's usually either unarmed, or carrying around a silver greatsword that's about a foot shorter then him. While unarmored, he looks unkempt and wild. Slightly greyed skin from using so much pact magic. Wild grey hair that looks as though it hasn't been cut in years, somehow miraculously keeping it's shape even inside of his helmet. And two fox-like ears, along with one human ear hidden behind his mass of hair. Kind of thin, with bags under his eyes. Still a little bit muscular

## Personality

His entire personality is built around becoming the best person that he can be. He wants to do what's right, and is merciless in chasing after it. While he believes in ideals of chivalry and idealism, despite what seems like willful ignorance of the worlds true nature, he won't allow his own quarrels to hold him from doing what's right.

He has an unhealthy interest in both swords and fires. His determination is ridiculous, and so strong that he's able to ignore the pain of being transformed into a malformed abomination. It does hold him back from making full use of his natural charisma, and to suppress his own instincts and look at a situation objectively.

## History

Lykel spent his earlier years training in a land east to Ashenland- But after a while, he found that his training wasn't getting him anywhere further. He eventually decided to leave on a journey to become a great hero- And he stayed for a year as an urchin on a sailors ship- Eventually being swept along to Ashenland by the winds of fate. Having brought a fabled blade along with him, he trained and took in many different styles of swordsmanship, training day and night and living on his own.

A mysterious man eventually took notice of Lykel's efforts, and decided to help him along. Lykel spent a year under his training, and honed his discipline to an extreme. Afterwards he went to participate in the battle of burnt trees, and was forced to retreat after receiving grievous injuries. He wandered the seas for a year afterwards, adventuring and wandering throughout. He somehow landed in Silvermount, and reconvened with the party there.

## Abilities

Lykel is a melee striker with the ability to regenerate health by killing designated targets. He can fight at either close or long range, provide minor healing towards his allies, tank hits whether magical or non-magical, and deal with either hordes of enemies or single targets with surprising effectiveness. He's good at everything but evading hits, and acts as a decent jack of all trades in combat. He can apply any buffs granted to him to his pet-fox brightfax, while riding said fox. If need be, he can raise the spirit of a slain enemy to grant the rogue's a chance at sneak attacking the enemy.

His weakness comes in his simpleminded nature, and a lack of many skills that can be used out of combat. His charisma is high, but so is everybody elses. His stealth is good, until you consider that he's wearing heavy armor. His greatest strength, his hexblade's curse, can only be used once per short rest. The longer that he goes without a short rest, the weaker that he becomes. Because of how reliant he is on features, he'll lose most of his viability when forced to go for multiple fights on end.

His skills outside of combat mostly rely on him changing form and tracking foes. He's quick to action and this often leads to terrible and easily avoidable consequences.
