Name: Sythiuss (Sigh-thee-us) Valscythe
Gender: Male
Age: Unknown, though he is rumoured to be somewhere in his late twenties or early thirties, based on his actions common sense.
Race: (Erm, not to be too entirely imposing seeing as how this is my first character, however, I'm sure if it doesn't work out it shall just be told to me, and I can just make a new character. I shall try to be as descriptive as possible with his abilities and whatnot. As to not complicate things, I will make it assumed that if his race was ever known of, it has been effectively exterminated, and Sythiuss himself is just a freak-show) Srikreen
Racial Appearance, abilities, ect.-They take on the appearance of a bi-pedal mantis with a thick carapace, no antennaes, much smaller, more humanoid eyes that have no pupils, and a lack of scythes for hands, but instead, chitinous claws. They stand at about normal human height, perhaps a bit taller. They do have mandibles instead of mouths, but seem to be capable of regular speech. They are slightly hunch-backed due to the formation of their carapace. As for abilities, some of the prominent ones are good resistance to damage, due to the carapace, poor eyesight, due to the position of their eyes on the sides of their head, superior strength, superior agility, ability to see in the dark, some difficulty doing tasks that require dexterity due to their claws, and little to no telepathic ability whatsoever, despite a high intelligence. They are a somewhat advanced race that specialized in weaponary and warfare. Most likely perished because they took on something that was a bit too much for them.
Clothes: Sythiuss does not wear any sort of civilian clothes, but instead, prefers to wear his battle armour wherever he goes. The armour consists of plates of an unknown, resiliant metallic alloy that is black in colour, with crimson/orange lights and whatnot on it that seem to have a purpose, but to the observer, they are just for decoration. It has two retractable wrist energy scythes capable of cutting through a multitude of things, and two wrist mounted energy cannons that can cause a decent amount of destruction in a short amount of time if used correctly. It has two retractable "wings" that function for flight. It also has a helmet that does nothing to hide his four-part mandibles, made of the same material, with two small slits on the side for his eyes.
Hair color and style: No hair
Eye color: Glowing yellow
Personality: Best described as cold and distant, but this may be a misconception for being silent and contemplative. He is not particularly unfriendly, but is by no means a merrymaker or a fun-lover. He always seems to be focused on some sort of important task, and rarely stops for idle chat. He does not seem to mind being alone, but also does not immediatly reject company.
Weapon: As mentioned for clothing, his battle suit is his weapon, with, once again. Two retractable wrist mounted, melee-oriented energy scythes that can slice through just about any known material, but can be deflected or turned by swords or blades forged of a decently strong material (most swords are composed of steel, I assume, but it is also likely that there are blades made of a stronger material. I can say that steel swords would probably be relatively easy to slice. I'll just leave it up to the situation and moderation, ect.), however, if one gets into a situation where they must "sword lock" with him, it cannot be sustained indefinately, not only because of conflicting strength, ect, but because consistant contact would cause the material to melt, or sustain some sort of damage that would require repair. Two wrist mounted energy cannons that launch three crimson baseball-sized orbs of energy in a burst that does little damage when not concentrated on a single target, but can tear a single target apart, or at least hold multiple targets at bay.
Weaknesses: His suit does not react well to EMP, and will become a useless hunk of metal sitting on him for a few moments. Though skilled in both distance and melee combat, melee is his true forte, and he can be outclassed in long-distance combat. He has trouble fighting in narrow halls and tight spaces, which force him to use mostly his wrist cannons, which can be safely said are the "weakest" weapons in his arsenal. Though the suit is resistant to most damage, it is not indestructable, and damaging the suit often can end up damaging Sythiuss, even with his carapace. Though Sythiuss has learned to comprimise his poor vision, it still can hinder him at times, and through he is both very strong and very agile, at times he can lack control due to his natural lack of dexterity.
Other: Born and raised as a warrior, Sythiuss was used to following orders from his superiors, and as such, tends to obey the "leader" in a group. He is very intelligent and calculating, and is somewhat of a leader himself. He has trained heavily in many styles of combat, and is adaptable to many different situations. He is undefeated in melee combat, but still is lacking in his ranged tactics. He has made a name for himself in other galaxies as a mercenary of sorts, working for whoever gave him the highest pay, eliminating their targets with little remorse. He rarely speaks of his childhood, and unlike most people, he will not spill his life story at the drop of a hat. The most he has ever told anyone was that he made the mistake of falling in love with a human girl. How it has affected him is unknown, as he does not act particularly calloused, nor does he seem to mope around about his lost love. He is fearsome in battle, refusing to run unless it is vital to his task, and always making sure that his opponent had the means to defeat him and will even go as far as to giving his opponent one of his own weapons, and explain its use before fighting him. He has yet to fail a mission, which he always seems to be on, and has seemingly no particular place that he lives.
