He smiles despite this making his wounds disappear in your mind as you talk to him.
Name: Ziton Aag
Servant: ???
Age: 24

Personality: He has an air of elegance to him as he stands at posture at nearly all times. He is light on his feet and walks nearly bare foot with a natural stance. He has eyes that seem to be reading a good book when looking at someone. This coupled with his nonchalant way of speaking makes him appear arrogant at times. Though he refrains from insulting people, he prefers to let his actions speak for themselves.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strengths: Dexterity. Flexibility. Swordsmanship. Grappling.
Weaknesses: He isn't very heavy and can be easily picked up or thrown back. Too much blood forces him to hallucinate and often times frenzy, attacking allies or whatever he sees until he passes out.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Background: A street rat from the southwest of India, Kerala, during 600 CE and like most of his kind he decided to run in packs. One was his older sister Aela. He was then picked up by a practitioner of Kalaripayattu. This trainer worked with soldiers and warriors to improve their technique in this style. There are three schools of Kalari. 1) Arappa kayy 2) Pilla Thangi 3) Vatta thiripp and he was a master of all three. Except he had no children of his own and adopted Aela and Ziton.
He found the religion Hinduism. Attaining peace whilst practicing the three forms of Kalari. Elements from the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, as well as finger movements in the nata dances, are incorporated into the fighting art. Some of the choreographed sparring in kalaripayat can be applied to dance and so Ziton has learned to flow with elegance and finesse while in combat. Kalaripayattu also includes strikes, kicks, grappling, preset forms, weaponry and healing methods.
Regional variants are classified according to geographical position in Kerala; these are the Northern style from Malabar region in north Kerala practiced by the Central style from inner Kerala and the southern style from Thiruvitankoor. Northern kalaripayattu is based on elegant and flexible movements, evasions, jumps and weapons training, while the southern "Adi Murai" style primarily follows the hard impact based techniques with priority on empty hand fighting and pressure point strikes. Both systems make use of internal and external concepts.
It was when he learned of Agastya, one of the seven or eight most revered rishis in the Vedic texts, did he learn of magic. Agastya is also regarded as the founder and patron saint of southern kalaripayat, silambam and varmam -an ancient science of healing using varmam points for varied diseases. Once his talents was known to the sages they taught him what he knew about diseases, healing and magic.
He has used a sword and shield during his battles. He fought many times against Kushan slavers and helped heal the wounded. His main reason for surviving was due to his special Kukri. A Nepali blade meant to be used in a thousand battles. It is said to have been wielded by the first smith to create the blade's curved rounded shape. His master offered him this weapon to keep him safe, as it was passed down in his family. With this blade he was able to cut deeper and easier into flesh.
Ziton was only 17 at this time and was able to hold his own. He found his friends dying and was forced to seek inner peace from the sage to heal his mind. In slowly enlightening himself he was able to divide his perceived negative emotions and thoughts from the perceived good. Then he would become overwhelmed by the negative and tap into a savage enhancing magic he dubbed shadow skill. The negatives however were by way of hallucinations and a frenzy at the sight of too much blood. Forcing him to rely on learning magic rather than just the sword.
Through his studies he was able to find the location of one of the old treasures of Agastya. The golden bead he wore on his forehead. It was in the temple where he was said to have taught and enlightened many. Only by way of force did he achieve this item and has been using it to find more sources of magic. He has been disowned by his adopted father and master and renounced the peaceful nature of his religion despite naturally following most of its doctrines in his life.
-------------------------------------------------------
Abilities: He is agile and flexible even able to slip out of most binds. His body is honed and thin so he has decent strength despite his size so he is able to strike with force higher than his own body weight given the correct motion. He uses a light small shield with a re directive curve to its smooth copper surface. He is a skilled dancer as well, even with fire.
He had learned how to manipulate pressure points for various reasons. To paralyze, to cause pain, to soothe and heal others or himself. In fights he typically uses it to strike at specific areas so over a short period of time he can cripple an opponent. This is if his strikes are successful.
Thaumaturgies: Shadow Skill - With the inability to balance his negative side from his positive he has found a possessive power that has cursed him. He is able to increase his strength and speed physically but his body does not become more resistant and may likely hurt himself. If he is able to charge mana by meditating for a period of time he is able to activate a more balanced version of this enhancing spell. In this state he is able to sense events into the future, sometimes up to 30 seconds.
Angel Dance - He was able to learn how to manipulate flames by fire dancing with lighting alcohol on his blade. He is able to maintain the flames and even blow it up to several feet as well as control its trajectory. He can also manipulate fire that's around him. He can also make the fire last longer by feeding it his Od.
Pressure Point - With his Od he can plant his concentrated magic into points he strikes on peoples bodies to either relieve them of stress or cripple them. Either way it is mostly painless when he does this and relies on periodic strikes in succession. He can also apply this to himself somewhat to reduce pain.
Elemental Affinities: Earth & Fire
Command Seals: On his right arm.
----------------------------------
Personal Effects: His clean white attire is what he wears most. A white button down thats long sleeved on the left arm and sleeveless on the right. White gloves and pants. Barefoot with a white strap from his wide legged pants going around them. Two ear rings and a emerald ring on his right ring finger. This is usually what he wears.
Mystic Codes:
King Kukri - A blade handed down through many generations meant to last for a thousand battles. It has yet to dull and has a very sharp edge. It is impervious to anything that would damage it.
Third eye of Agastya - He has a golden artifact that he can place on his forehead. Once this is done this allows him to see with "clairvoyance" the direction to whatever he desired. A trail or signal is put before his eyes, sometimes footsteps, sometimes just a path of aura, either way it leads him to where he wants to go. He can easily remove this sight by removing the jewelry.
