Name: Vianhart
Age: Thirty-two
Gender: Male
Race/Ethnicity: Lupian
~The Lupian race is a race consisting of magical wolf-like creatures, superior to that of an average wolf in almost all ways. They were born to be warriors and hunters alike; having a spiritual capacity that exceeds that of an average mortal, due to the fact that their ancestors have trained day and night, whose strength has been passed down to the next generations. While they are able to live quite long, [Perhaps to the age of two hundred, at max] their spiritual-selves are immortal, only being able to be killed through magic. Although they take the appearance of an average wolf, there are ways to tell that they are Lupians. On average, Lupians are usually taller than the average size of a wolf and the color of their coats most of the time consist of multi-colors [some even having markings upon their fur.]. However, anyone who is able to detect a being's spiritual capacity would know in an instant that they are no average wolf.
Occupation: Martial Arts Teacher
Level you live on: Tends to wander upon his free time, but his Martial Arts school is upon level sixteen, which is where he does his teaching. It also has an upper floor, which is where he "lives."
Personality:The first notable characteristic of Vianhart would have to be his courage as well as his warrior-like instinct and heart. Though he has a passion for fighting, it is never without reason nor is it for the side of the wicked. He is true to himself and to everyone he meets, making him a trust worthy ally. While he is not exactly the type to be running after females, he does, in fact, take a liking to them, whether he shows it or not. It just seems as though his mind is clouded by other thoughts or priorities. The Lupian had always had a tendency to take a liking to music that is both calming/soothing and perhaps with poetic lyrics.
History: Vianhart was born during a time when his entire race had been waging war amongst themselves, through many different packs upon the land. He had been trained to fight and to hunt at a young age, having grasped the concept quickly, for it was in his blood to do so. While he never really took a liking to war, he did enjoy the strategic concept of combat and had always done so strictly for fun.
Although his parents had trained him for the very reason of the war, they never intended to send him to battle, for their home was quite a distance from the main conflict. They taught him for the purpose of self-defense as well as protecting his home and family. Vianhart had become quite the fighter at the age of nine, which was about the time that his sister, Eona, was born. He had always had a close relationship with his sister, being the one to teach her to fight and hunt when she was old enough.
As the years went by, the inevitable had finally come to knock on their door, for a group from an opposing pack had come to claim their home for themselves, in order to expand their territory. Vianhart was about sixteen at the time; Eona still being quite young and not nearly strong enough to stand up to them. Their parents had told them to retreat and take refuge at the main lands of their pack, where they will meet up with them later. Though Vianhart strongly disagreed, he did it for the safety of his sister. To this day, he still questions whether he did the right thing or what might have happened if he had stayed, for he never saw or heard from his parents after that day. Still he questions whether or not they had survived, or, rather, still has hope that they had.
Within the next two days, the two had made it to the main portion of their pack, where military related discussions were held. Upset by the loss of their parents, Vianhart and Eona volunteered for military positions as warriors and spent the next few years taking part in the war. Eona, however, was too young to become a warrior yet, and had taken professional training while practicing with her brother whenever they had the chance until she became an official warrior.
Throughout their time of taking part in the war, Vianhart had rose through the ranks fairly quickly, becoming the pack's official guardian at the age of twenty. Eona had become one of the better warriors within the pack as well, assuming her position upon the front lines in battle. He had also noticed that she had taken a liking to one of the higher ranked Lupians, seeing that they were spending quite a bit of time together. While he never took a liking to him due to his attitude and how he treated those who were lower ranked, he didn't pursue his sister about it, but only told her to remain cautious.
A total of seven years had passed since they had taken part in the war, having quite a happy life, untill the day a traitor within the pack had shown himself and led his own force against the pack leader, while standing along side an opposing pack. Before knowing who the traitor was, Vianhart had quickly made his way to the pack leader's side, preparing to defend him in the attack and hoping that Eona would be alright. However, it wasn't much afterward that Eona had informed him of the traitor with much sorrow and shock upon her face.
It was her lover.
But there was little time to mourn. The pack had struggled to fight against forces for several hours, but there was simply too many to fight off. The remaining warriors were forced to retreat and take refuge within their sister pack, planning an all-out assault that would be executed a day or two later. Feeling sorry for her sister, Vianhart did what he could to comfort her, but she simply preferred to be left alone. Taking heed to her words, he did as she wished and prepared himself for the upcoming battle.
Within the next two days, the pack had prepared themselves and mobilized about a mile away from the opposing pack's primary territory. The pack was split into two forces, the plan being to strike from two directions. The battle had commenced at sundown and Vianhart led his small squad quickly through the enemy lines, wanting to get to their leader as quick as possible. Eona had joined him, with fury in her eyes untill their squad had met up with the traitor's. She told her brother to continue on while she confronted him and would meet up with him to help him fight off their leader.
With little time to think, Vianhart did as she wished once more, leading his squad onward, while the traitor had ordered his to pursue them, while he and Eona fought one on one.
Vianhart and his squad had quickly made their appearance to the enemy leader, immediately charging to take down him and his guardians. Vianhart, however, went straight for their leader, showing no mercy toward anyone in his way; it was a fight to the death. It felt as though he had been fighting for hours, before the traitor had made his appearance, with her sister's throat in his jaws as he dropped her corpse upon the ground, baring his fangs.
After viciously cutting the pack leader's throat to shreds, Vianhart let out a single howl of sorrow before leaping toward the traitor to avenge his sister. No longer did he care if his squad had been doing well or not, for his only goal at that point was to kill the traitor for all he had done. After a fierce battle, the traitor had fallen to his fangs and Vianhart was left surrounded as he was weakened from all the fighting. It was at the moment, however, that the rest of his pack had come and rescued him, finishing the battle soon afterward.
Throughout the next few days, Vianhart and his squad had been titled as war heroes and their names went down in Lupian history. However, not once did he feel any pride in his successions. Soon afterward, peace had made amongst the remaining packs, joining together as one large pack. A new tradition had been made that every full moon the leaders of the packs would meet with their gurdians in an area that was directly at the center of their lands. This was where all the fallen warriors had been buried, including Eona, and the area was named, thereafter, the Meadows of Heaven.
Within the few months of peace, Vianhart had made the decision to leave his homeland and start a new life somewhere else, wanting to forget about the war and his lost comrades. Having heard of a place known as the Golden City, he made his way to this city and made a living as a Martial Arts teacher; his school becoming one of the best and well known within the year he had been there. Enjoying his new life thus far, he intends to make the best of it and hopes that this place doesn't erupt into a war like his home had.
Weapon(s): His only weapons are his own spirit and his fangs.
Power(s) & Abilities: Lupians have been known to be masters in the arts of melee and this is no exception in Vianhart’s case. He is extremely agile and strong, able to take down enemies twice or three times his size. The Lupian is also skilled in the arts of spirit manipulation/Incarnum, (mostly being his own spirit rather than the spirits of others.) which he uses to increase the potential of his physical power much farther than they would be normally. Through many years of fighting, his spiritual capacity has become quite broad, making him able to fight for several days straight before growing tired. He has eased in the ability of astral projection as well as many other useful spiritual spells.
Being a master of the hunt, Vianhart is inherited with extremely keen senses. He has been known to chase down his enemy when they attempt to retreat upon defeat or coming close to do so, until they are no longer able to run. Sneaking up upon the Lupian is practically futile and even foolish, for he is able to hear every movement and distinguish one sound from another amongst many. The same goes for his other senses. He is also able to unleash a howl that can be heard only by certain individuals, which can range to great distances. However, unless one is able to understand the Lupian language through howling, he may only be able to speak to his fellow Lupians. However, he can speak to others spiritually, which is his primary method of speaking.
Appearance: Vianhart takes the appearance of an average sized Lupian, his fur coat having streaks of primarily two colors; a light copper and an ocean blue. Upon the right side of his face, however, his fur takes the color of a snow white. His eyes are a very bright yellow, which have had a tendency to look cynical in the night, for they stand out the most when there is very little light. A fairly good muscle tone is noticeable, rippling through his fur, through his movements.
Theme song(s): "Last of the Wilds" or "Moondance" by Nightwish.
Other: The places he tends to hangout upon his free time the most, are the parks the city has, where he is free to relax and stare at the clouds, enjoying the serenity of his new home. Every now and then, he travels to the other levels of the city, enjoying performances by others, preferably their music. Vianhart has two human assistants while he is teaching at his Martial Arts school, due to the fact that most of his students are human and have trouble understanding and relating to him. His two assistants are his best students. The name of his Martial Arts school is "The Arts of Combat."
