Sinwrig

Sinwrig is an immigrant from The Isles currently residing Riptide's Galley.

Sinwrig's theme is surviving exile and his battle theme is path to glory, both from Pyre.

## History

Originating from The Isles, Sinwrig was originally a mercenary who frequently traveled to other nations as a soldier for hire. During one such expedition to Genkov, his unit was attacked by the necromancer pirate Bentney Timbles. Though he wasn't captured, his ship was mostly destroyed, leading to him being stuck on a small lifeboat with limited supplies.

Lacking proper tools for navigation and not skilled enough at sailing to read the stars, he drifted through the ocean for almost half a year, surviving off of fish and evaporating salt water for hydration, before eventually drifting into the shores of Pandeli. Despite his social skills having long degraded, he found some amount of acceptance amongst the Genkovians of Riptide's Galley, and decided to become an enforcer for the area, patrolling the nearby oceans for pirates and others who mean ill for the city.

## Personality

### Diligent and Devoted

The people of The Isles are well known for their expertise in warfare. A key part of any good army is the mindset of its soldiers, and Sinwrig is a fitting example of such a soldier. Loyal and Diligent to a fault, he spends most of his waking moments focusing on his job as an enforcer to the peace of Riptide's Galley.

### Vengeful

Those who possess might waste it in peace. If one has power, it should be used against any who would go against you.

### Creative

The spark of genius often comes from the most unexpected locations. Sinwrig, despite being a soldier, shows a surprising amount of insight in subjects outside of combat. Though obviously intelligent and a competent general, his tendency to give out of the box solutions is often sought out by others for matters such as trade, construction, etc.

### Knows Only Violence

The Isles are in constant warfare, and Sinwrig, who grew up there, has known only violence through the first half of his life. Born and trained to be a soldier, he is generally unable to function in a peacetime society, lacking the proper social knowledge to interact with civilians. As a result of this, he isolates himself by taking on the role of a coastal guard, sailing the waters near Riptide's Galley in solitude.

## Abilities and Powers

Sinwrig is a practitioner of Blade Fusion, and is able to wield the ocean itself as a sword. When fighting on open waters, he is able to manipulate ocean currents, create waves, create whirlpools, etc. Although dangerous on the ocean, his heavy reliance on water makes him essentially harmless on land, especially since Blade Fusion practitioners do not truly wield a weapon, only temporarily creating one from their element of choice. His preferred martial style is the quick draw.

### Fighting Style

 Slash
 Thrust
 Hilt Strike

Sinwrig has an extremely versatile fighting style that is effective at both close and long range. Split can separate allies and throw formations off balance, which gives him time to fire off multiple Thrusts, almost like a sniper. At closer range, he has the extremely hard to dodge Slash, which can also function as a shield should he choose to aim it upwards. In addition, Hilt Strike can be used to create distance between himself and his opponents.

Overall, Sinwrig's offensive and defensive capabilities have no real weakness. However, his abilities only work when he is in contact with water, so separating his direct contact with the ocean will render him as weak as any generic villager, though doing so is no simple feat. Sinwrig can walk on water, so the best way to separate him from the sea is likely some type of explosion attack aimed directly below him, as he cannot do anything while midair.

## Kepia Fikiri Conflict

Sinwrig is a member of the Galley Company, and thus plays a central role in deciding on which side Riptide's Galley stands. He is also one of the two enforcers of the district, and the side he picks will be a large factor in which faction controls the seas around Riptide's Galley.
