VampiretwilightName: Kyran
Class: Monk
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Short black hair, blue eyes
Equipment:
Body: Clothes(Simple Traveler style)
Hands: Leather Gloves(Hardened and marred by repeated strikes)
Legs: Simple cloth pants under two sets of buckled hardened leather plates, one starting a few inches below the waist and ending just above and the other starting just below the knee and ending a few inches before the ankle.
Feet: Leather boots
Combat Abilities:
Stunning Strike = Kyran's study of anatomy has given him a more than average knowledge of the human body, though nowhere near the understanding of a Master. During a fight, Kyran can will sometimes choose to strike a precise muscle, causing a muscular spasm that inhibits their ability to fight.
Martial Art Training = Kyran has been trained in a functional style of hand to hand combat, relevant to the current era. As such, his style is adapted to work against common weaponry and armor. While he is incapable of punching through metal or breaking a sword with his bare hands, he has been trained that slapping the flat of the blade away from him can create an opening for him to close in or to strike the arm.
Ki Energy = The monk has a basic understanding of a universal energy, to the point of a very weak sixth sense. His attunement with the world around him allows him to sense the flow of this energy in his surroundings. During combat, it allows him to instinctively sense weaknesses in an enemy's defenses(although this takes time and a focus on one particular enemy) or alternatively, increase the power of his own strikes. This ability will develop over time.
Peace of Mind = Monks adhere to a strict sense of discipline, and are rarely given to action that is purely motivated by emotion. Many have learned that so many hours spent meditating and performing combat katas have led to an increased level of protection against mind-altering magic or poisons.
Non-Combat Abilities:
Anatomical Study = Monks are encouraged to learn as much about the way a body works as possible. While the martial applications involve breaking bones, learning which nerves control which muscles, or damaging specific organs, their knowledge of anatomy also bears some beneficial fruit. Kyran is adept at first aid, from staunching a bleeding wound to setting and bracing broken bones.
Bookworm = Kyran enjoys reading, and has spent much of his spare time devouring(not literally) any book he could get his hands on. Although the subject matter was limited where he came from, largely pertaining to martial arts and local history, he has developed a certain love for fictitious writings.
Personality: Kyran is a bit of an oddity as a monk. He enjoys what he calls “the outside world”, and is a very lively person that is generally ready with a good story or a joke. He claims this is a result of the monks from his home being so “dreadfully boring”. In addition to this he has a love for knowledge, learning all that he can any time he is away from his home.
