The Alabaster Champion

Character Names:</b> Vengeful Sky
<b>Exalted Type: </b> Sidereal, Chosen of Battles

<b>Nature: </b>Martyr
<b>Demeanor: </b>Monster
<b>Concept: </b>knight of heaven / merciless executioner of Creation's enemies

<b>Apparent Age: </b>43
<b>Sex: </b>Male
<b>Height: </b>5'11"
<b>Weight: </b>185lbs

<b>Anima:</b> Beginning with a dull crimson glow, Vengeful Sky's anima wells out into a spiralling cloud of vermillion orbs so close-knit as to seem to be united. Each sphere contains the image of one of the infinite possible futures - with every action he takes, the orbs rearrange and their images shift to reflect the new futures before him.

<b>Charm Theme: </b>Battle! Chaos, conflict, destruction, pain, glory, brutality, grace, victory.

Description

Vengeful Sky's age shows, and shows hard. His features are strong, with prominent cheekbones and nose, a sharp, lean jawline - he was probably quite dashing as a young soldier, but as the bloom of youth faded from him, the dignity of age replaced it. Long days in the sun haven't just bronzed his skin, but have tightened it, lending it a weathered quality, giving him an air of wisdom and experience. There's always a twinkle in those red eyes, though it's rarely a mirthful one.

There is a distinct dichotomy to him - he can seem perfectly calm and rational, thoughtful, introspective, but his insatiable taste for violence and simple knack for it have lent him a reputation as a ferocious killer with little beyond bloodshed on his mind. In truth, though, this is an act. The savage abandon he displays in combat, and the endless eagerness for battle is simply his way of acknowledging and utilizing his Mars-given strengths to further his goals; goals which, surprisingly, rarely include his own glory. Within his own mind, he is not the priest of conflict, the sergeant on the battlefield, or even the last soldier. To his own conscience, he is a vengeful guardian keeping watch over Creation, striking with reckless abandon, frequently to his own detriment.

Merits, Flaws

<b>Flaws
