CHAOTIC NEUTRAL ● CLANSMAN ● RED CLAN
The situation behind Ignatius' birth was complicated and mysterious. Two criminals, rivals of a kind, butted heads on multiple occasions but were drawn to one another. This feel brought them together for a single night where he was conceived. When the time came almost a year later, his mother forwent abandoning the child and chose to raise him. Some strange motherly affection overcame her sociopathic desires. Ignatius wasn't named, simply called boy by his mother who distanced herself from her child. She wasn't his mother, just a mysterious keeper that did degrading things to get by, for herself and the child. After a few years, the woman had grown ill of some deep-rooted disease and passed away shortly after. Though at a young age, the boy had been taught some things and understood on some level that she gone, yet couldn't stop himself from crying. A man by the name of Sigmund Orivien found the child roaming the streets. He took him, after reminiscing about a lost son and the need to have one back. Sig wasn't much of a father but he was the best one available for young Ignatius. He himself wasn't exactly intelligently educated like nobles were but he knew enough to get by and function rather well as a tactical leader and accomplished fighter. This knowledge was passed onto young Iggy over time, along with assorted tidbits from the Irregulars. As time passed, Ignatius learned from Sigmund and his Irregulars, both mentally and physically. It wasn't long before he became one of them, to take action in the field, so to speak. Though Lurkers were formidable foes, there were a few individuals in the company, called Ringers by Sig, that could go toe-to-toe with such creatures. They were assisted by the others, of course, which made them an effective fighting force. However, young Ignatius never saw any of that action. He was delegated to working inside the city. A few years later, Ignatius left his Sigmund's company to find his own way in Piros. Though he was a skilled combatant, he was never allowed to leave the city, to be put in harm's way, an emotional failing on Sig's part. So he had hoped he'd get a job working solo that would allow him to go out into the world. Unfortunately he had no name for himself and could only take the lesser contracts for those within the city limits. He found out very fast that working from the ground up was a tiresome and horrendous job. For one reason or another, he couldn't go back to the Igni Irregulars, not when it meant admitting defeat. The crossroads for Ignatius' life came when he took a job that would take him outside Piros. Excitement trumped his caution and left post-haste. He was on scene with two other notorious mercenaries he knew by reputation, whom had a caged monster. Apparently the job was to waylay a traveling group. By this time, Ignatius' morals were on the bad side of things and he'd do almost any for gems. When the time of the hour came about, he recognized the emblem that the robed men were bearing and suddenly realized what was going to happen. Something in him sparked and he opted to alert them to an ambush and turned on his colleagues. Needless to say he was badly injured in the end but he fought valiantly. For some reason, they looked past his initial intentions and took him back with them when they returned to Piros. It was there that he was looked upon by a physician and later pardoned for his previous attempt on their life, only because he had a change of heart and fought for their lives as much as his own. Because of his bravery and skill, he was inducted into the Red Clan, to serve the Red King to the best of his ability. | TIMELINE - Age 00 - Born on a starry night in Piros and raised in a secluded part of the city by his mother.- Age 05 - Orphaned by his keeper but subsequently found by a stranger who took him in.- Age 06 - Officially named Ignatius Orivien by the Mercenary Captain, after himself and his company, the Igni Irregulars. - Age 13 - Becomes a junior member of the Irregulars, to participate in jobs and contracts.- Age 20 - Leaves the mercenary company to forge his own path.- Age 25 - Assists Red Clansmen in a dire situation which leads to him earning a commendation and the honor of being initiated into the Red Clan.- Age 27 - Current time. |

INVENTORY AND SKILLS |
» INVENTORY
| "Maverick" Ignatius' main choice of a weapon is a rather long and broad bladed sword he has dubbed Maverick. It's more intricate than it appears but requires closer inspection to tell such but that's for a different time. It's not as big, or cumbersome, as a Greatsword but it's similar. So it's mainly used for those slow, heavy hits to fell monsters. If he tried hard enough, Iggy could swing it slightly faster. When Rebel is removed, the weapon becomes slightly lighter but also loses one half of its edge. | "Rebel" The aforementioned intricacies is actually a secondary weapon added into Maverick. Slide a covering out of the way and Rebel can be detached from the main weapon and be used itself. Rebel is a smaller blade, only in comparison to Maverick, wherein Rebel is slimmer. Its length is slightly shorter too and the hilt is actually built into the blade, so the blade itself also serves as a handguard. Being lighter, Ignatius can make faster, more precise swings but at the cost of serious damage. |
| Turpentine vials Various small vials of turpentine are hidden and carried on his person. He usually throws them at a target to cover them in it which then acts as an accelerant for his fire if hits them with it. Thus the fire burns hotter and longer. | Medical kit A kit filled with basic medicinal items to treat minor injuries and wounds. Though he has little to no medical knowledge, as he's a fighter not a surgeon, the gist of it is easy enough to grasp and be of use to him. |

| Ignition Aggression, anger and such fuels his aura and ignites whenever he experiences it. It's the way Ignatius manifests his aura and holds it as a raging flame around his body. The stronger his emotions, the hotter the heat that radiates and the bigger the blaze. He can choose to keep his aura suppressed so not to accidentally Ignite when in a pointless brawl or losing his cool, as it were. With the right amount of concentration, Ignatius can Ignite different parts of his body such as a fist or a leg but it's easier for a full body manifestation. Needless to say he has a really high resistance to fire and heat, more so when surrounded by his own fiery aura. | Afterburner The unique twist to his Aura Manifestation is that of an afterburn. It can be used before Igniting for more subtle flames but is most effective after Ignition as he has more fiery aura to work with. Afterburner comes into effect during motion, using the kinetic energy as fuel. An example would be him swinging a punch and the flame manifesting alongside his fist and the short path it traveled. The faster the motion, the more kinetic force accumulating/ed, the stronger the flame. It even extends to usage of his swords. As such, if motion doesn't cease for more than a second, the kinetic energy can be built up, like momentum, and grow stronger. One example would be a flurry of sword movements, seemingly unending and thus more fire which would make a finisher move that much more deadlier. In the event he has Ignited, the afterburns will be bigger, brighter and hotter by default. The kinetic energy he builds up during motion will make them more pronounced like normal, but now on a higher scale. |
