The Poor posture of an individual trying to make themselves as small as they can even though they are already minuscule, dark bags under his eyes so large and dark he could be compared to a raccoon. He wears a tattered gi over breathable cotton linens (sportswear). The gi is almost more of cape than gi at this point in a pocket in the gi is a berry covered In dirt. On his side he carries a chained tungsten scabbard that’s also chained to his left wrist called young lions share, his training weights. In it is his ancestral blade Old Lions fang. He wears no shoes on his big feet. He stands a measly 4’5 he’s shorter than even his own sword. A wild mess of tangled black hair frames his racoonish face like the mane of a lion.

Braver is a young mercenary from a martial magic themed world built around martial prowess. Supposedly Braver was trained by a legendary swordsman named Leoliss the sky dividing lion. If you ask Braver pretty much anything he will likely clam up and be paralyzed with social anxiety. Thus he’s found the violent mercenary work much easier to do cause dead or dismembered people don’t usually engage in conversation. That said he’s called braver for a reason, specifically an aspirational one, he named himself braver as a way of faking it till you make it with positive affirmation. He’s anxious pretty much all the time with the exception of mortal combat where he actually finds himself calmer the more dire things are. He’s on a journey of self improvement both in skill and in social skills, he’s never not had the will to challenge himself in the extreme but never the will to challenge himself in the mundane and he’s determined fix that no matter how scary it is. Nothing gives him more joy and confidence than using his sword but people tend to die when he draws it.

Bravers ultimate attack is just the usage of one of the 6 of 12 techniques of his Martial Art “The way of Parting Gifts” born from an old ritual execution ceremony and a branch off of the “Way of dividing skys” the martial style of the reigning family the Skyleons of the Empire of Illiage.

Braver has a skewed sense of mortality as in his world death is only possible by Mutual Mortal Combat, not even age can result in one’s death. That said amidst most in Illiage he’s not particularly powerful and so aside from being slain in a battle with the exceptionally rare citizen with no combat skills such as an infant or toddler his many defeats did not result in death. Now at age 206 (pretty young for a non warrior but getting up there for a warrior) he’s not bothered by the thought of dying or of pain but he is deeply paralyzed often by normal social interactions.

“Old Lions Fang” his ancestral Sword and “The Young Lions Share” his (training weights) enchanted tungsten slab sheath and short chain manacle are a pair and once belonged to a now deceased prince of his world and agent of the enclave Leoliss Skyleon the 33rd who refused the crown of Illiage.

“Young lions share” is semi sentient and reacts to Braver only unlocking when Braver is displaying their unfettered strength unashamed. Being ashamed in its vicinity will likely reattach itself to him. Those with ancestral or spirit based magics can communicate with it via touch or if they prove themselves as powerful warrior who leads through their own might. light to others who assist in carrying it and as heavy as it needs to be to challenge Braver at the time. Otherwise it’s as heavy as 5 foot long 1 foot wide 6 inches thick tungsten sheath would be.

Old lions fang is thin and made of a metallic tarnished 5 foot sliver of white silver bone dull and unworked
when restored it it becomes filigreed with gold and double edged though still thin instead of whistling through the air there is a faint distant roar.

The magical abilities it can manifest are always one of the following 12 each requires its own prayer which all come from an old text called the 12 parting gifts which is series of questions the 8th of Illiage was asked and his answers. Braver only knows 4 of them

“Point of a sword, to be sheathed in a foe”
1.Extends with with great velocity and piercing force at will when it impales a foe or the hilt is struck

“Last service of a sovereign? To foster sovereignty”
5. Can telekinetically move young lions share its scabbard, automatically sheathes when it makes contact

“Why must we part? To know togetherness”
6. Can damage or fully sever magical connections with possessed objects.

“Why seek one’s demise? If one can walk why not run?”
7. Grants a low range dash after every attack with old lions fang
