Miskar Whisperblade

Miskar is a character who serves as an antagonistic role to Raysha, in the second book of the Maniestation series: Scion of Storms, mainly just annoying her. Miskar Whisperblade is a student at the Academy in Hidan. He is the son of a Champion. He is known to be prickly and he was tasked with recruiting Raysha to the Whisperblade House. He is a scion of House Whisperblade.

## Appearance

Miskar is a handsome young man who wears immaculate, expensive clothing. He wears a richly decorated longsword by his side. He has a well groomed beard. His clothes are a straight-cut uniform of navy and silver highlights. He also has a black and grey uniform.

## Personality

Miskar is not used to being told no. He is known to be prickly. Miskar is generally quite polite but seemingly more out care for his public image than otherwise as he complained about Raysha when he believed she was not listening. Miskar is not gracious in victory and mocks people when in combat with them. Miskar is susceptible to compliments. He is very proud of his House.

## Abilities

### Spiritual Advancement

**Awakened**: Can use aeon. Limited to 2D formations.

**Initiate**: Limited to 2D formations. First permanent physical enhancement. Will becomes strong enough for proper techniques. He can hold aeon further away and lose less due to inefficiency. Advancing to Initiate allows Miskar to sense aeon easier. Miskar is not an average Initiate and because of his years of training he is a brilliant Initiate.

### Path

Miskar's path has a heavy focus on barriers. The *Dragonshell* has been perfected over generations and most offensive techniques on the path focus on penetrating barriers.

#### Formation

Miskar's formation is unknown but probably includes Motion. Miskar can use his techniques and can use the runes individually. Integration is a capacitor - when you integrate a rune it saturates your body first, and then is slowly absorbed. The person then gains passive benefits in relation to the type of aeon they integrate. For example integrating Resilience will make a person's body more resilient until the integration wears off.

**Motion**: Miskar presumably has Motion as part of his formation considering that Raysha was unable to match his speed near the beginning of Scion of Storms.

#### Techniques

***Dragonshell***: The *Dragonshell* technique is one of the core techniques of House Whisperblade. It is a very good barrier technique comprised of a number of levels each around an inch above the last. Each 'shell' of the barrier floats in differing directions and it disperses the damage meaning that hitting the same place twice is ineffective. This is done passively without extra aeon cost. Miskar can make 5 layers which demonstrates how talented he is as it takes great skill to go past 2. For Miskar, the *Dragonshell* technique is almost impregnable, and his internalisation of this increases the effectiveness of the technique.

**Aeon Blade Technique**: Miskar can project aeon following the slash of his sword through the air. This is a signature Whisperblade lunge technique. This Whisperblade technique is meant to pierce everything, including barriers.

**Movement Technique**: Miskar has a movement technique that allows him to flicker forwards.

**Blade Projections**: Miskar can produce a dozen ghostly blade projections in a moment that each easily shred barriers.

**Blade Aura**: A technique Miskar had intended to use against Sahena. It is a very powerful technique. His aeon forms a foot long blade around his hand. This sword can cut through aeon. He can extend the length of the aura blade. He can make the blade incorporeal so it bypasses certain things.

## Equipment

### Spirit Hearts

As a scion, Miskar has a spirit heart, a starseed, which increases his aeon capacity by around 30% when he was an Awakened and less after he advanced. He also has a second spirit heart from the auction that Raysha attended increasing his capacity further.

### Teleportation Ring

The ring is woven from copper and gold. It allows for short range teleportation at almost no cost. There is a limited number of how many teleportation jumps Miskar can make.

### Sword

Miskar has a longsword. He is a highly trained swordsman and many of his techniques work with his sword.
