Name: Torin Reahkari
Nicknames: The Pirate Prince
Age: 24
Race: Human
Height: 6'
Weight: 195 lbs
History:
Torin was born a normal child to Gelior Reahkari and Lydia Reahkari. He grew to a teenager as any other child would, the only difference being his exceptional curiosity towards time. The way it works, magic that helps manipulate it, how to control it. Until one day, in the market, everything changed. Torin will always remember that day. He was 16 at the time. A group of men clad in all black entered his hometown of Noria, looking for Gelior. Torin hid in his house, fearing for his and his own fathers’ life. That was, until a voice crept into the back of his head. "Go to the Shadows. Make them fear you. Remember you. Become a Nightmare." As his head began to pound, the voice got louder, and he blacked out.
When he awoke, he was still at home, but all the lights were out, and no one was there. When he looked around his room he realized exactly why he was alone. The group of men, the ones in black. The Shadows. They were mangled, killed in horrible ways. He stole the clawed gloves of what appeared to be their leader, and fled to Corone, taking on the pseudonym Nightmare.
A year passed, and Nightmare had achieved unity with Serigae. The Shadow had told him of a project used to create hundreds of entities like him, some were good but most had evil intents. The first few Shadows taken from Serigae's essence, Serilisk and Borna, had overthrown their 'father' and banished him, since then using the forces to eliminate all that knew of the Projects existence. Whenever Nightmare asked how his father fit into it, Serigae quickly changed the subject. During the year he'd been gone, he had collected several works, objects, and information to further his study of mastering Time. During his stay in Concordia, he found a recruitment letter from the Bandit Brotherhood. Realizing Yari Rafanas led the Brotherhood, Torin realized this was a unique opportunity to learn more about his particular brand of magic from someone with more skill than himself. He quickly became an initiate and befriended one Damon Kaosi during his trials. Torin quickly discovered though he was not cut out for the Brotherhood life, and had no reliable or accessible way to research Yari from inside the Brotherhood. With this realization of defeat, he left the Brotherhood, saddened by his loss of contact with Damon. Torin's blackouts were much fewer and far apart, but seemed to occur whenever he came close to or in contact with other Shadows, who Serigae revealed, were constantly being sent from Borna or Serilisk from their personal army, the Rangir, and the attacks would only get worse. The only way to stand a chance and destroy any of the Shadows themselves and not just their hosts would be to find one of the Ten weapons that were constructed during the Project. And Nightmare, finally accepting who he really was: Torin Reahkari, set off back to Alerar, in search of one specific weapon, the Shadrian Staff.
Torin spent another year combing much of the Fields of Khu'fien, Ettermire, and beyond for the weapon, but to no avail. All the information he received on it's whereabouts proved false or already shared, and Torin was beginning to feel like he was on a wild goose chase. As he made his way west, back towards Noria, Serigae began to feel the weapons presence. This pushed Torin to finally confront what he had run from, and returns to his hometown. His return home was less then welcome from most. He discovered when he disappeared; several Shadows continued to attack Noria, the only person able to stand up to them being his father, Gelior. Torin confronted his father, demanding to know how he was able to fend off the Shadows with such ease, and defeat the Shadows themselves as well. Serigae was quick to point out the Nihon Redwood walking stick his father had used since before Torin was born. Gelior continued on to explain that in his youth, when he was part of the Kyorl, he had discovered this weapon somewhere in the Fields, and had used it to protect Noria and his family since. Gelior also knew that Torin was host to Serigae, and it was his time to wield the great weapon. With the Shadrian Staff in hand, and Serigae and his father training him, he was on his way to becoming something great. When word hit Alerar though that an army was on the move from the north, Serigae informed him that Serilisk was marching his troops to Alerar, intent on destroying Torin, Serigae, and Gelior once and for all. Torin began contacting friends, acquaintances, anyone he could to help stand against the Rangir. And so, the Alerian Resistance was started.
A few months passed, and the Resistance grew stronger, drawing in people such as Seth Dahlios, Maia, Taviri Ambria, Velius Demorio, and Torin's close Brotherhood friend, Damon Koasi. He got his father, Gelior Reahkari, to lead the second line designated to flank the Rangir. Torin was very close to unlocking one of the many mysteries of Time. Several ex-Kyorl and even current Kyorl members offered their blades to stand against the threat of an enemy army invading Alerar. When the Rangir marched into Noria with troops numbering in the high hundreds, Torin began to lose hope. The Alerian Resistance only had 400. The battle began quickly, throwing everyone into the turmoil. Torin led the first line deep into the core of the Rangir, searching out Serilisk, and leaving no prisoners on their way. The second line quickly made their way to the Rangir, effectively boxing them in between the Resistance, while effectively cutting down the count of the Shadows. It seemed as though the Resistance were going to win. That is, until Serilisk entered the battle. Wielding one of the Ten weapons, the Ranigiran Axe made of pure Prevalida took out one member after another, until Serilisk had finally made his way to Torin. The two squared off, with Serilisk having a massive physical advantage over Torin, proved to be too much for him and ended up knocking him far away. As Torin lied on the ground, he thought about all that had happened in the last few years. Serigae, the Resistance, and the new friends he had made. As he lay in the mud and bodies, his friends drew in, fighting off Serilisk, fighting as hard as they could. Suddenly, the final piece in Torin's Time puzzle clicked into place. He rose to his feet, and immediately, everything around him slowed down to a snail like pace. He moved towards Serilisk, picking up his staff, and hurling it at him. Time suddenly sped back up; Torin fell to the ground again, and lost consciousness.
When he awoke a week later, he would learn from his friends that Serilisk was indeed killed by his staff, and that both weapons were broken from the battle. Serigae confirmed that Serilisk's Shadow was also dead, and Torin felt a little safer, until Serigae notified him of a new threat.
Borna Venar was now in possession of the most powerful of the remaining 8 weapons, Dendalis. It was an Adamantite great sword, capable of controlling ice elements. Borna had declared himself King of the Project and enslaved any free Shadows into the Rangir. He sent word to Torin that he would never give up until Torin was destroyed and Serigae captured. Gelior informed of one other weapon that could withstand the might of Dendalis; another great sword, Tanzalis. Once Torin recovered, he once again set out on a journey now to Raiaera to find the sword, armed with once again, just his claws, but also a new ability, which he named "Stop, Set, Rewind", the ability to slow down Time. He continued his studies to hone this ability and possibly unlock new ones.
Another year and a few months passed, and Torin decided to further research Time magic and visit his friend, Damon Kaosi. Utilizing the vast magic knowledge of those around Raiaera, Torin further improved his ability to control his own sense of Time, allowing him to relive his own past. Further using this ability to aid his search, he finally found Tanzalis hidden in the ports of Anebrilith.
On his way back from Raiaera, he found a group he felt he could really belong to: The Black Sails Armada. He quickly joined their ranks, becoming very close friends with Matthias Vinkuzri. The boys considered the other their brother, continuing on past the BSA with their adventures. Eventually they made it to Radansath, and visited Ithermoss of the Red Hand to pitch an idea to him. Since they had heard that the leader of the BSA had fled the group, and the members were beginning to fall, they suggested that if Ithermoss sponsored a ship for them, and money to buy land for a port, they would open an alliance and trade with the Red Hand. The members of the Red Hand along with Torin and Matthias constructed the Snowbourne, named after the leaders wife. They sailed off to the western coast of Alerar finding the city of Etheria just west of Noria, and created their headquarters, Etheria Port. Matthias and Torin ruled over the BSA, with many new members joining quickly, filling the ranks and starting construction on a new interceptor ship, the Serpent. All seemed well for Torin when suddenly, Matthias disappeared, wiped from the face of Althanas.
With his brother in arms gone, and the pressure of being a leader of a quickly growing group bearing down on him, Torin began to crack, slowly losing control of the Black Sails Armada. He finally left Etheria, leaving to compete in the LCC with a man named Zerith Dracosius, however realizing there was nothing there for him, Torin left mid round and abandoned his partner, a regret he has reviewed many times over.
Word spread yet again of Borna's Shadow Rangir to the ears of Torin. This time he decided to defend but not fight against Borna, but his father, Gelior revealed a link between Borna and himself. He brought to light that he was one of several people collaborating on the Project, and when Serigae was first created, they needed a host to tie the Shadows down, or else they were wild, uncontrollable, and as lesser symbiotes, ineffective. So Gelior did what no one else could do. He volunteered Torin. Borna was also volunteered, but Serigae chose Torin over Borna, created tension between the two. Gelior continued on to reveal that because Borna held Dendalis, and Torin held Tanzalis, only one could lead the Shadows. If the other was alive, they would continue to follow Borna, although Gelior would not tell Torin why they would follow him and not Torin himself. So Torin went on to seek out members of the Resistance yet again, and this time plead to the Queen's sense of loyalty, begging for the Kyorl to assist with this battle. The Queen turned a blind eye to the native's plea, explaining the Dark Elves of Alerar had bigger problems on the Raiaeran borders to worry about. Slowly running out of options, Torin sent word to Borna to meet and face him in Etheria Port. As the Rangir marched into the Port, they faced off against the original Alerian Resistance as well as a few new faces, and the BSA's naval attack proved enough for Torin to defeat Borna after several days of battle. When Borna and Dendalis finally fell, the Shadow bowed to Torin, swearing their allegiance to him.
Torin has since entered the Adventurer's Crown tournament, meeting people such as Luc Kraus. Since then, Torin has collaborated with decorated Kyorl officer Thoracis Rakarth to work towards brighter days for his homeland of Alerar.
Appearance:
Torin has somber, ice blue eyes, and has medium length spiky brown hair. He is of medium build, muscular, but not thin. Adorning his hands are brown fingerless leather gloves. On his chest, a grey muscle shirt with a long black leather trench coat over top. The coat flares out at the waist slightly. There is a cut designed into his trench-coat to allow Tanzalis to be sheathed without removing his coat. He also wears baggy blue denim pants and black mid-shin leather boots.
Skills:
Expert large swordplay - Torin has completely mastered his own unique style with Tanzalis.
Expert history / time knowledge - Torin is still one of the most knowledgeable people on Althanas about Time magic, second only to Yari Rafanas.
Average hand-to-hand Combat Knowledge: Torin has been in enough bar fights to hold his own if he loses his weapons. *See Strength for further notes.
Average Geomancy - Torin has learned much more about the element of Fire, and some of Water, from Luc Kraus during the Adventurer's Crown.
Below Average Archery – Torin is attempting to learn how to use a bow. He has received basic training from archers around Noria, but is far from accurate.
Abilities:
Strength – Torin can lift 1000 pounds with ease. *Always in effect.
Strength - Torin can lift much more than the average human. Due to the weight of Tanzalis, (350 lb) Torins upper body strength is vastly above that of regular men. However, this barely translates to his hand to hand combat, and would equate to a 'harder than normal' punch at best.
Stop, Set, Rewind – One of Torin’s most useful abilities, he can slow down time for 30 seconds while still being able to move. He can also use this ability to go back and view things he has experienced or learned about in the past, but can not change them. *Time slowdown affects bullets. It makes them dodgable if Torin sees them and jumps out of the way, but there’s still a good chance he could get hit.
Stop, Set, Rewind - One of Torin's most useful abilities, he can slow time down to the point of making every second last for three (3) regular seconds, for up to 10 seconds while still being able to move at a regular speed. When used in rapid succession, it would appear that Torin is teleporting from spot to spot. However, he has only been able to cast Stop, Set, Rewind rapidly (one second or less) up to five (5) times, at great physical strain. *Stop, Set, Rewind affects projectiles. It would allow Torin the time to realize something has been fired at him and adjust to take the hit, but not dodge it.
Reflection – A passive ability, Torin can enter a meditative state where he can view events he has learned about from an almost ethereal plane, unable to interact or change them.
Remorse - Torin can use Reflection to relive his own history, and is able to change the decisions he made in those situations. These decisions do directly affect Torin in his regular present state. *These events cannot involve other characters outside of NPCs unless given consent by said character.
Fast Forward – Using his experience with manipulating Time, Torin can fire phantom projectiles once used. Like a rift in time, these projectiles are summoned from the past, and are formed from pure energy, with no elemental alignments. Completely non-lethal, these projectiles have the impact of a strong punch when fired. Due to Torin’s recent interest in learning Archery, these projectiles normally take the shape of arrows.
Firelight - Torin can make a small fire in his palm for 30 seconds. This ability can only be used to illuminate, not as an attack.
Into The Light - Torin can imbue Tanzalis with fire. *This is regular fire, easily extinguishable by water, moving the sword around too quickly, strong winds, or smothering the blade.
Frost - Torin can make his fists into ice. Roughly the strength of steel, easily shattered with anything of a higher tier.
Equipment/Weapons:
Tanzalis - 5.5 foot long, 1.5 foot wide Mythril sword with an infused Delyn core. The shorter edge is sharpened, and angles up into the dull edge, sharpened on the top (See Avatar)
Duty - Delyn dagger given to Torin by Seth Dahlios
Rain Honor - Adamantite dagger hidden in left boot *Gained during Adventurer's Crown*
Land deed for Etheria Port
The Snowbourne – A frigate class ship built by Ithermoss, Torin, and Mathias. 12 cannons (6 per side) 4 smallguns (2 fore, 2 aft) 275 tons, 10 knot maximum (18.5 km/h) 2 masts, 4 square sails and 1 lateen. The ships hull is made of Oak, all weaponry is iron, and the sails are made of Canvas. *The general appearance of the Snowbourne will be expanded upon in further Etheria Port stories.
Back sheath – Torin has a leather sheath he wears that loops over his shoulders and under his arms, crisscrossing at the mid-point of his back. This sheath is big enough to fit Tanzalis.
Medal of Trestoria - earned from first Rangir battle, given by the Queen of Alerar
50 cigarettes
NPCs:
Torin has a crew of 40: One First Mate, two cooks, and twelve deckhands. The other twenty-five crewmembers are miscellaneous members that just do general labor aboard the ship.
First Mate – Currently unnamed
Advanced Cartography – The first mate will have extensive knowledge of the seas of Althanas, as well as the factions that frequent trade routes.
Cooks – Currently unnamed
Basic Cooking – Both cooks are capable of preparing meats, pastas, and vegetables.
Deckhands – Currently unnamed
Basic weaponry – All deckhands have received basic training in cannon and small gun use upon the Snowbourne. Most have a general knowledge of how to use a sword.
Basic hand-to-hand combat – The deckhands have a very limited knowledge of hand-to-hand combat, with zero combat knowledge outside of bar brawls.
OOC: I will be writing out a thread fleshing out the NPCs and how Torin met them. They are literally only going to be used as workers for Etheria Port, and as crew for any threads taking place involving the Snowbourne, and serve no other purpose. In terms of Remorse, I've been notified it could be used in a negative way to modify Torin's skillset. I would like to clarify this ability is a plot device to rework his history. It will in no way be used to modify his abilities, skills, or inventory in these threads.

The ships hull is made of Oak, all weaponry is iron, and the sails are made of Canvas. *The general appearance of the Snowbourne will be expanded upon in further Etheria Port stories.
Back sheath – Torin has a leather sheath he wears that loops over his shoulders and under his arms, crisscrossing at the mid-point of his back. This sheath is big enough to fit Tanzalis.

NPCs:
Torin has a crew of 40: One First Mate, two cooks, and twelve deckhands. The other twenty-five crewmembers are miscellaneous members that just do general labor aboard the ship.
First Mate – Currently unnamed
Advanced Cartography – The first mate will have extensive knowledge of the seas of Althanas, as well as the factions that frequent trade routes.

Basic Cooking – Both cooks are capable of preparing meats, pastas, and vegetables.
Deckhands – Currently unnamed
Basic weaponry – All deckhands have received basic training in cannon and small gun use upon the Snowbourne. Most have a general knowledge of how to use a sword.
Basic hand-to-hand combat – The deckhands have a very limited knowledge of hand-to-hand combat, with zero combat knowledge outside of bar brawls.
OOC: I will be writing out a thread fleshing out the NPCs and how Torin met them. They are literally only going to be used as workers for Etheria Port, and as crew for any threads taking place involving the Snowbourne, and serve no other purpose. In terms of Remorse, I've been notified it could be used in a negative way to modify Torin's skillset. I would like to clarify this ability is a plot device to rework his history. It will in no way be used to modify his abilities, skills, or inventory in these threads.
