Teir

Description:
Tier is a lean and muscular man from his constant hand-to-hand training. Because of his years in his
armor, his eyes have taken on the look of shadows and his skin is slightly paler than normal. His
shoulder-length hair is blonde with dark roots and he has the characteristic pointy ears and small
sharp nose of his family. His stance and fighting style is remarkably like his deceased Grandfather,
Deth's. He has an armor that is made up of living shadows. The shadows can take the form of any
garmet he can visualize and the shadow can also become a solid armor. (see the pic in the photos
section for what his armor looks like). He also has a sword that is a part of his shadow armor, called
KageYaiba. It is the size of a dagger, but can increase it's size to a normal long sword. It can also
phase through shadows when needed.

Background:
Future? this is the story of one of many of those "alternate" futures where anything can happen...
And more often than not, it does.
This particular future starts with the birth of one man. Tiernon Ksheyna Blade.
Of course that's not to say the state of the future was totally his fault. Only that his actions set of a
chain reaction.

Here, let me start from the beginning.
The story starts 5 years from the present day. Things haven't changed much and Drakkare is still
causing a nuisance of himself. The only major thing was the expecting of a new child to the
Blade/Ksheyna family. Kieranth Blade and Nighthawk Ksheyna were expecting their second child
who they had already named Tiernon Ksheyna Blade. How little they knew that this child's birth
would be the ultimate beginning of the destruction of everything everyone held sacred. Unbeknownst
to anyone at the time was that Deth, Tiernon's Grandfather on Nighthawk's side, spoke to Tier just as
he was born. In that moment he had opened Tier's conscious to that of a normal 20 year old?
flooding his small and susceptible mind beyond anything that should have been. A part of the thing he
was infused with was the entire history of the Blades? who was who and their powers. That moment
had also allowed his grandfather to clutch his grandson's soul and make him a virtual prisoner. All
except of that little place deep at the back of him where Sythsis herself managed to infuse a part of his
soul with her light.
Deth had convinced the then "innocent" Tier to wish him back from his prison in Hell back to the
Prime Material plane. Tier automatically felt his Grandfathers presence back in his world and knew he
had made a mistake.

His assumption was right.

2 weeks after Deth's return to our world he attacked the Temple and after a pitched battle managed
to kill Nighthawk while she was still weak from the birth with Tier still resting in her arms. Because of
the soul bond, Kieranth went crazy and attacked Deth. In his state of mind, Kier was totally
outclassed, couldn't even put up the simplest of fights, and was quickly killed too. And then the fight
was over as quickly as it began as Deth grabbed the Book and Tier and fled from the temple, using
the Book to ward off any pursuit.

The next few years Deth and some of the best assassins in the Guild taught Tier and he quickly rose
to be a prominent warrior amongst its ranks. During those years there were many attempts by the
Blades to recapture the book and to convince Tier to come home. Each attempt met failure and more
Blade deaths. Deth rarely left his base of operations, but on one of those few occasions he left on a
specific mission? to kill Dia and Ava Jnr's and to eliminate potential threats to himself. This turned
ut to be one of Deth's more hard-pressed fights. Once the parents of the two boys, Diamond and
Rowena (parents of Dia) and Avariel (father of Ava) found out of deth's plan, the battle escalated and
it fell onto Tier to finish the fight. While Deth and some of the other assassins had the adults tied up,
Tier used the shadows to slip behind the 2 boys and kill them quickly before dissapearing again
without being noticed. After the 2 boys were killed the fight quickly ended with the deaths of Avariel
and Rowena and with Diamond going crazy. That one act sickened Tier to the deeps of his stomach
but he commited the atrocity for fear of his own life. Shortly following that brought the deaths of
Drakkare and the Countess Klarivinne. The causes of the fight between those 2 is still unkown but the
Countess was so weakened after killing Drakkare that Deth took advantage of the situation and
finsihed Klarivinne off. The deaths of the rest of the Blades followed in the next few years until only a
few remained. Jeryann, who lived only because of Tiernon's plea to his Grandfather and Diamond,
who was still too stronge for Deth to finish. In a fit of rage one day Deth decided that he would fight
Diamond to the death and proceeded to the Temple of Sythsis to finish him off... Jeryann followed
their grandfather to ward him off this path before he died but was too late as the battle had started
when she got there. Because of Tier and Jery's bond, he knew she was in danger and fled to the
Temple as quickly as he could.

Personality:
A very dark person with a black soul, but does have some light in him. With help it would be possible
to bring that good in him to the surface. He has an obsession with destroying the Book of Ruvyen and
stopping his Grandfather from returning from hell. He speaks very little, only when spoken too and
then it is only using the least amount of words possible. He is an efficent, cold-blooded killer and is
capable of stalking prey for days on end... to the point of sitting in one spot for hours without moving.
He knows the Blades by sight. He doesn't hate them but nor does he love them, with the exception of
Jeryan and possibly his mother. The only person he is truely comfortable with is Rashika, his
companion panthyr.
