Name: Reiker Rylan
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Hair: Black
Eyes: Black
Height: 5’6
Weight: 150lbs
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral/Evil

Personality: Reiker is methodical by nature, often planning ten steps ahead in combat as well as the political landscape. There is nothing he likes more than to craft a magnificent explosion and watch and it lights up the night sky. Reiker possesses a deep seeded hatred toward magic and magical creatures, thinking them to be abominations and unnatural.

Appearance: Reiker is a built demolition expert often covered in a layer of gunpowder and ash. He typically covers his features with a black cloak over top tight fitting leathers. Those who have seen his face call it gruesome and pale.

History: Reiker has had a twisted and troubled past, losing his humanity at an early age and joining the military to escape his pain. After many years of service he had been caught by an opposing country’s forces and had been shipped off to a remote prison in Beravar to serve out his time. Though he refuses to talk about his history and where he is from, he has let his partners and affiliates know he isnt from Corone, but Corone is his home. He owes it to the country and to himself to rid it of magic and magical creatures by any means necessary.

Skills:

Demolitions Expert- Reiker has spent the majority of the last few years learning how to craft bombs and other explosives by hand. He knows how to properly judge the potency of his explosives and the radius of their explosions before ever lighting a fuse.

Trap Master- Reiker draws sadistic pleasure from crafting deadly traps for his victims. This is his preferred method of killing, choosing to specialize in trip wires and rigged explosives. He has a lot of experience concealing his trap from view and unless one would truly examine their surroundings they would most likely not even notice.

Basic Swordsmanship- While he prefers to dispose of enemies via rigging some sort of elaborate trap, Reiker is more than capable of using his short sword to fend off and kill attackers. His skills are indeed hampered by virtue of him only having one arm, causing him to tire quickly in long engagements.

Survival Training- In service to the military he had been forced to servive extenoiuse bouts in the wilderness with little supllies.

Meditative Concentration- While in prison Reiker had learned to concentrate to an meditative level on specific details as well as patterns and rhythms.

Abilities:

Acute Sight- He is able to visually perceive objects at a greater distance with greater detail and accuracy about twice as well as a regular person.

Advanced Reflexes and Agility- Twice the reflexes and agility of a regular fighter.

Explosives Sack- At the beginning of every thread Reiker will start out with a full inventory of bombs(5 Dynamite Quality Explosives).

Inventory:

Explosives Sack- A black leather bag attached to Reiker’s right hip for easy access to his ammunition and bombs. (See Ability Above)

10 Spools of Wire- An ample amount of wire used mostly for setting up tripwire traps but can be used for whatever necessary.

1 Iron Short Sword- Closer to a dagger this short sword is fastened in a leather sheath attached to Reikers left hip.

Black Cloak- A tattered hooded cloak used to cover Reiker’s appearance.

Combat Leathers - Tight fitting learters that offer decent restences in combat.

I’d like to start this message with the idea that these explosives were supposed to be considered a weaker bomb, as he will continue to develop his explosives and craft stronger ones farther down the line. This would I guess be considered my (Anti-Magic Magical Attacks) abilities.

I found some information upon a quick google search that we can start with.

One "full stick" of dynamite used by construction and demolition crews is generally enough to move and split one cubic yard of rock. A cubic yard of rock weighs a little over 1 ton - around 2200 pounds. So 1 stick of dynamite is enough to split and move 2200 pounds of solid rock if used appropriately.

In open air, dynamite isn't nearly as powerful, as there is nothing to contain the blast, and the force emanates outward in a somewhat spherical shockwave, thus the force drops off at a cube root of the distance (at 10 feet the explosion is 1/8 the strength it is at 5 feet).

In reality, most "massive" explosions are measured in "tons", "kilotons" or "megatons" of "TNT equivalent" - TNT being trinitrotolulene, the explosive ingredient in Dynamite. A large mining and excavation site might use something like 4000 pounds of dynamite to complete a single blast - a "2 ton explosion".

With this information I believe the ability to pretty tame compared some other magical lvl 1 characters.

Philomel, Explosions tried to PM you with this but your inbox is full. Please take the above as clarity of the dynamite ability.

For now I have told Explosions that his approval stands as it is with the above in mind.
