Talon
03-27-06, 07:22 PM
From the Official Records of the Radasanth Guard:
Name: Zachary Talion
Known Alias: Talon
Alias sidenote: Talion's nickname was derived from both his last name and the iron dagger he carries, which is shaped like a talon of a large bird or dragon.
Race: Human (Deimos)
Race sidenote: Deimos are a specialized race of human with the peculiar ability to disappear into shadows. The Deimos call this 'Shadow Melding'.
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Hair Color: Jet Black
Eye Color: Emerald Green
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 187 lbs.
Occupation: Assassin / Mercenary
Known Weapons: Talon Dagger (Iron) / Longsword (Iron)
Known Abilities:
Shadowmelding - Deimos have the intricate ability to shadowmeld. This ability allows Talion to sink into shadows and emerge from another shadow that is within ten feet. He has not yet mastered this ability, and can only meld into inorganic shadows, such as buildings, columns, etc. If any part of the shadow is organic, he is unable to meld. The shadow must also be unmoving.
Known Skills:
Stealth - Talion's "line of work" requires him to be very stealthy and he has this tuned well. He could cross a field of dry leaves without a sound or enter a dim lit building without being seen. His shadowmelding helps him in this area. However talented Talion is, he still makes mistakes and can be traced if one is trained to find him.
Bladewielding - Talion has undergone training and has become proficient at wielding his longsword and dagger in battle. Often he merely kills his target without a fight, but occasionally he requires these skills and can fight if the need arises.
Appearance: Talion is often wearing a black tunic with a hood, and his longsword across his back. The dagger is hidden somewhere on his person.
History: Very little is known about Zachary Talion. Talion grew up in a small village in eastern Corone with all of the known Deimos. He began practicing shadowmelding at the age of 15, as did all of the children. Something happened to Talion at the age of 17 and he was forced to leave his village with only his longsword and Talon dagger given to him by his father. It is uncertain what this event was.
Talion was very hurt by being rejected from the village and wandered to the nearby city of Radasanth. He buried his troubles in an alcoholic drink, and wallowed in his own pity. There he stayed for three days before he "perked up" at an offer he couldn't refuse.
A man entered the bar looking for a bit of help. He needed someone dead and someone dead at that moment. Talion had his blade and dagger, and with his shadowmelding ability, an easy way to hide from his target. He eagerly accepted the offer of 20 gold to pull off the assassination.
He tracked the man down fairly easy, finding him holed up in his house, all locked down. This was no problem for Talion. He merely shadowmelding in the building's shadow and emerged inside the house over the man. He brought the blade down into the target's neck and the man fell at his feet.
This sparked a new joy in Talion, a new passion. From there he went bigger and better, honing his skills until he was one of the best. He is wanted in all of the cities of Radasanth for murder.
