Havi Harsan

**Havi Harsan** is a Demon born from Shayda and [/] in the Harsan Clan. He was born among demons who had more human appearance, but he inherited serpent-like fangs and venom from his paternal bloodline.

## Background

Havi was born in a town along with his parents and four siblings. He was raised alongside them and trained in both his magic and martial ability by his clan's warrior caste, where he specialized in using a sword and magic.

One day, a traveller arrived in his town and, after showing his worth, helped trained the younger warriors in what he knew. After sometime, the traveller approached Havi's parents and convinced them to allow him to seal a portion of his magic as he might draw unwanted notice due to his specialization in Storm Magic. To prevent their son, or his other siblings, from being dragged into a war for the now-empty Emperor's throne, his parents permitted his power to be sealed away with Havi's own consent. He was largely unaware of what happened, but it had effected him enough where he was no longer capable of using his sword as effectively as he could, and instead switched to using a spear.

After learning of this perceived betrayal and defilement by the traveller and his parents, Havi left his home despite his siblings' attempts to find himself away from his resentments.

## Personality

Havi is a calm and methodical demon, but also one with an extreme view on loyalty that many would consider subservient. To those who he considers his friends and family, he is dangerously loyal along with anyone he has sworn feilty to, showing a side of him that no other person will ever see. His confidence in his abilities leads to him not needing to prove himself to others, being brutally honest regarding his opinions, and providing calm threats.

Havi typically plans for the long term beyond his current situation, with his plans often involving deceit, but he is still relatively honest and has an honour code despite his great capacity for violence. While calm, he is extremely spiteful and his behaviour can lead to picking up enemies rather easily. He has no interest in politics beyond his own peripheral. Reno's personality can switch from respectful to arrogant within moments. When he gives his word, he keeps it, but still opportunistic and calculating.

While he appears uncaring, Havi's more problematic behaviour stems from him losing access to much of his magic when he was younger and saught comfort in hunting and fighting. Despite this, he is still very knowledgeable about magic and seeks to learn more.

## Powers & Abilities

Havi is a melee fighter who augments his spearmanship with kicks and grapples when his opponents get to close to him. His focus on honing his physical abilities has given him superior combat capabilities compared to other demons in his age range. He is able to outlast his opponents through exhausting their stamina, then overwhelming them with his strength. Havi developed his physical abilities after he was cut off from his magic at a young age to compensate for that weakness.

* **Experienced Combatant**: Havi is a competent fighter, using superior stamina to outlast his opponents and chipping away at them, keeping them off balance and pushing his advantage when available. He uses powerful thrusting strikes to physical knock down his opponents and makes sure to keep distance, splits numerically superior foes, and observes his enemies to find weaknesses in the middle of a fight.

* **Venom**: Havi has fangs that he can use to inject venom into exposed skin, even sharp enough to pierce most flesh but not armour. The effects of his venom depends on his own diet, being able to feed on poisonous plants to augment lethality, and how much venom he injects. The average bite on healthy adults can cause weakness, discomfort, and dehydration, while others like the elderly and children can die. Due to his demonic nature, his venom is part magical and can effect the soul, and his venom or fangs can be used as a catalyst for a spell or curse.

* **Shapeshifting**: Havi has the ability to change his form into that of a Falcon after bonding with his pet, and later familiar, falcon. Initially the changing of his form was both mentally and physically taxing, only getting easier the more he did it, but he still feels its effects. He is by no means a master and can be forced out of his transformation if he is taken by surprise or his focus is interrupted.

## Trivia

* Rarely loses his cool in situations. Doesn't easily forgive others. Doesn't like forced necromancy. Doesn't like those who mock others he cares about. He will use whatever means to gain an advantage, he can show concern for others and will offer aid unconditionally, he'll kill whenever it suits him, brutal and heartless to remove a threat to him. Possessive, vicious and brutal.
