Alias: Tridius/Ryudo
Age: Unknown
Class: Mystical Warrior of Light and Dark
Class Description: A warrior that has both the powers of the light and the darkness, he is able to utilise a broad range of attack types including magik and summoning. However, since he is a mystical warrior it is unknown what price he had to pay for this power... (Class is unique to Rydius)
Story:
Rydius is an enigma. Something that really shouldn't exist but for some reason does so. Awakening from a tomb that was sealed deep within the forests of Aenur, he spent the first part of his life searching for a purpose. When people first saw him, they were frightened because of a pair of large white-feathered wings were protruding from his back.
Because of this, Rydius shunned people. Instead, he lived within the forests of Aenur since that was all he knew. But things took an unfortunate twist as people started to talk about a mystical beast that lived in the forest causing many to come and try to hunt it down. As they had very little luck in capturing this beast, they burned down the forest instead.
As the forest burned, Rydius found himself having to take refuge in the tomb he had awakened from until the raging inferno had died down. After it had done so, Rydius emerged to find the forest a perpertual ruin of it's former glory. The ones that had been hunting the mystical beast came across him and seeing the large wings, captured him - or at least attempted to.
In this instant, Rydius' anger reached boiling point and roaring out in anger, changed into a beast-like form. The hunters - momentarially stunned - found themselves under a frienzied assault.
Not one of them lived through it.
When Rydius finally came to, blood stained the ground and bodies lay in pieces everywhere. Shocked at what had happened, Rydius began to question what he was and re-entered the tomb once more, seeking answers. At the very place he had awoken in, he found weapons that had been placed behind him, as well as a description carved into the stone - he has never said what it was to this day...
Description:
At approx 6ft tall, Rydius is an imposing figure. He is always clad in a cloak that surrounds his entire body only showing his ice blue eyes which at times turn crimson red, depending on his emotions. Underneath this cloak is the armour that he was wearing when he 'awoke' as well as his wings which have a 12ft wingspan when fully opened.
Armour Description:
Armour of the Gods - The armour thar Rydius wears was made long before he was awake. Although it appears to be light armour, the metal it is made from is highly durable and gives the same protection as heavy armour. The reason why it weighs like light armour is due to the fact that the metal has been infused with magik.
The armour consists of a customised breastplate (Due to his wings), Shoulder guards, armguards, leg-guards and waist guards.
Weapon Description:
Alexia and Alucard - these are twin short swords that are usually located in holsters just above the waist guards. The blades are easy to tell apart as Alexia glows with a soft white light wheras Alucards glows with a dark light. Reasons for this are currently unknown.
Soul Heart - A broadsword that rests in its scabbard which snugly fits between Rydius' wings. The blade itself is made out of a bone-like structure which is very strong and cuts exactly like it was steel. On it's hilt are several small gems, which glow when a 'sword spirit' is acquired. At the moment, 3 out of 8 gems are glowing. This allows Rydius to call upon elemental spirits in battle. (see below)
Battle-Ax of Angrim - A standard battle-ax that once belonged to a warrior named Angrim. It is carried on Rydius' back over the cloak.
Also has the tendancy to use whatever is closest to him ie. A barstool or kitchen knives
Skills:
Magik - Since Rydius is a 'Mystical Being', he can call upon a vast range of magik spells. However, it takes a lot of time to learn a new spell and since he doesn't use a lot of magik, his spell range is pretty limited.
Spells currently known:-
Heal - Standard healing spell. Restores a little stamina.
Purify - Useful for removing any poison effects.
Burn! - Level 1 fire spell. Does little damage , but is useful for starting camp fires.
Tremor! - Level 1 earth spell. Causes a small localised quake.
(Has others)
Elemental Spirits - These are the spirits that reside in the gems on Soul Heart's hilt. However, each of them requires a different amount of time and concentration to summon forth in battle, although they do get stronger given time.
Elemental Spirits currently held:-
Fiednoid - Wind Elemental. This spirit attacks the enemy with slashes of wind which do small to moderate damage. If Rydius spends some extra time whilst calling this spirit, the attack can be strong enough to destroy the surrounding area to the radius of 10 yards.
Aquoon - Water Elemental. This spirit attacks by surroundingthe enemy in a water bubble. It does absolutly no damage as it is used mostly to stun the enemy.
Gazan - Fire Elemental. This spirit attacks by assaulting the enemy with waves of fire. The damage done depends on the amount of time used to call upon the spirit.
Brood Power - This has only happened once, and is heavily dependant on Rydius' emotions. The last time this happened was when the hunters that burned down the forest - his home - and they were all killed. Since then they have lain dormant, but who can tell when they will show up again?
Wings - Since Rydius has wings, he has the ability to fly. However, since people tend to fear him when they see them, he has always walked everywhere with them hidden under the cloak wrapped around his body. They are currently used only in battle when deemed neccessary.
