Shylan Lystae

**Shylan Lystae** is a royal knight of the Shadow Realm's army. He operates directly under the Shadite monarch alongside his twin brother Shiro Lystae. Born in the capital of the Shadow Realm, Shylan was raised close to the Shadite palace and was recruited into the police force at 16 along with his twin. The two of them were drafted into the Shadite army just a few years before the Nightmare Realm waged war on the Septisegyai. Due to his and his brother's exceptional physical and flow strength, the two quickly rose through the ranks and soon became the Shadite monarch's personal guards.

## Personality

Shylan is a very timid and cautious young bear. Even while he was young, despite living a rather sheltered life within the palace walls, Shylan always erred on the side of caution in most situations. He is also very empathetic and considerate of others. Despite being a warrior trained to kill, Shylan is more than capable of being soft, gentle and incredibly caring. He is also very thoughtful and patient, but sometimes too much so. He has a tendency to worry himself sick over situations he is not sure how to handle. In cases like these, he usually relies on his younger brother, Shyro, to bring him back to center, working with him to overcome whatever is bothering him. Additionally, Shylan takes great interest in understanding the thoughts and ideals of others, understanding the minds of those he encounters. He's a very extrospective bear, who wants to know what makes people tick.

During the Nightmarian Conquest Era, whenever the Shadow Realm had to fight against Nightmarian forces, Shylan always wanted to be part of the teams that investigate and question the Nightmarian soldiers that are captured and imprisoned. It always made him wonder and wish to discover and understand what it was that drove those Nightmarian warriors to fight for such a self-righteous cause...

## Appearance

Shylan is a dark purple bear with deep lavender counter shaded fur on his muzzle, inner ears, chest and stomach, standing at an average height for a Shadite at 6'8". He has purple tinted silver eyes and thin eyebrows. He is a strong bear with toned arms, chest and slightly visible abs. He is a little bottom heavy with slightly wide hips and thick legs as well.

Shylan wears a sleeveless top with dark grey and gold accents that curve around the ends of the top toward the shoulders and round downward to a point on both sides of his chest. The gold accents follow the grey in thin stripes and oppose the grey in short points below his collar bone. Shylan also wears blue tinted, silver wrist guards with the gold accents that form in circular pattern around his wrist and knuckles, as well as a linear pattern perpendicular to the semi-circle pattern. Around his waist is a tight band that takes the place of a belt in the same color as his arm guards. He also wears thick, deep, navy blue pants with two silver blue braces with soft gold clips that wrap around his thigh, just above his knee. Additionally, he wears a red scarf with both ends behind his back and a small red sash attached to his waistband.

## Powers and Abilities

Growing up in the royal palace and under the training regimen of the royal knights of the Shadow Realm, Shylan has been taught several fighting forms that originate from several different realms. Though he is skilled in several, he is most adept to in a form he has taken a particular liking to, the Ru Form that was developed by the Tak'Raeon of the Nightmare Realm.

### Flow Type

Shylan was born with incredibly powerful psychic flow, Due to his own empathetic nature, his flow type followed suit in granting him abilities that are rooted in his mind and heart, specifically, his emotions. He can wield the energy within the emotions and feelings people carry within them, including himself, and manifest them in reality as whatever he pleases, including extra limbs, floating platforms, projectile weapons and much more. However, the strength of whatever Shylan creates depends heavily on the emotion he uses for the job. Some emotions are better suited for specific actions. Furthermore, his own mental and emotional state must be sound and in tact, or else he will quickly lose control of his abilities, This is even more so true when Shylan uses a more negative emotion, as his own emotional state must be incorruptible and unbendable. Though the power Shylan wields is almost infinitely powerful, he must be sure that he never tries to control more than he can withstand, because the emotions he uses, *especially* the negative ones, always pose a threat of consuming him entirely.

### Intelligence

Shylan is of above average intelligence, both in and out of battle. He is very attentive and watchful of his surroundings, which is further enhanced by his own natural cautious behavior. He is well aware of how powerful he truly is, but fears losing himself in his own abilities. Though he is knowledgeable, careful, and patient, his own fears tend to stifle his growth and willingness to push forward.
