Personality: He is aggressive when fighting, as he likes to fight enemies. However, he doesn't show as much aggression towards friends. He loves to be in the thick of battle, but also helping his friends and making sure everyone gets out OK.
Background: Radkin had grown up in the smithing town of B'hatdvi, known locally for its large population consisting of warriors and smiths, Radkin was late to follow is the path line, enjoying to focus more on the dexterous tasks he set himself rather then the brute force his town was renowned for. Later into his teenage years, he had finally taken to the sword, and under immense training through his father and sparring with his younger brother, became quickly accustomed to using his sword like an additional limb on his body.
Although his advances in the use of a sword was incredible, he still lacked the same brunt force that almost every opponent had against him, unfortunately for him the ways he had been taught in how to use this deadly limb with only brunt force, so he occluded to practice with himself and any inanimate object he could find to try more complex and slight of hand tricks.
The tax of blood and sweat payed of at his next practice match. He was challenged by Marson, although not one of the highest ranking throughout his town, he knew if he beat him it would propose to people that he might be more of a threat than people originally thought.
As this was only a town friendly, only wooden swords were allowed, so neither competitor could fatally wound their combatant.
As Marson entered the temporary arena, he gloated to all the crowd how easily a match this would be, and was even contemplating to fight with an arm behind his back, and he agreed to do so as numbers bets stating that he would win with even with only one arm came through rapidly. As the match started the bets soon had to be payed back, as within five seconds Radkin had already forced his opponent to duel wield his sword, his speed and dexterity with the sword was so unlike any other fighter that was in the surrounding area, his immense speed also brought a few gasps out of the crowd. Even if Manson had an obvious strength advantage, with bulging biceps and calf's, it was impossible to block of all of Radkin's constant and numerous blows. He felt like three people were simultaneously bombarding him, rather then one. It wasn't long until Radkin's foreign offense had demolished his enemy.
A moment of silence followed by a cacophony of cheer from the gathered crowds brought a sarcastic smile to Radkin, the public had always approved of an underdog winning. As soon as he was allowed by the crowds, he decided to tell his parents of his friendly battle, and just as he had hoped, his parents were exhilarated by their first son's late victory, and his father seemed to have a few accidental "winnings" of it, his eagerness to find out what he had earned were obviously creeping into his features, and what he saw stunned him as much as he did upon the crowd yet minuets before.
A large curved katana and two awkwardly shaped objects was his newfound property. Radkin knew how to use this brilliantly designed sword, but he decided to ask what these two other items were.
"ah of course" his father began, "these two jewels will probably seem very foreign to you, as no one is generally allowed to waggle 'em around in public. Very dangerous weapons these."
his son's first instinct on this was that they were some sort of blunt clubs filled with the magic these smiths could infuse into them, although that was not the case, as he was told when he was expecting the wooden panel in front of them to burst into flames, or a manner of other mystical things.
"no no, you don't use them like that. They are projectile weapons." information his father passed onto him.
"so were are the projectiles to use?" Radkin said, surprised that his father would let him loose on something like this, and not worry to see his son shoot himself in the foot.
"The environment is your projectile. Here let me show you this, pass me that."
The old man proceeded to flip up what seemed to be an extra compartment into the weapon, and there stood alone was a small hollow cylinder, supported by metal beams.
"you can use this to make "bullets" to fit in here." he opened another part of the object "here, try it with this piece of wood, put it that first part, no make sure its straight, thats it, now put it down that second part. Thats called a barrel." After some failed attempts a smallish lecture occurred to teach Radkin about this new weapon.
Now some years later, after practicing with this gun as much as his sword, and in the varying techniques he did, he is known well throughout the local region as an expert marksman and sword wielder, and at such a young age. Although he knows within himself that there will be much more challenging opponents, even some taking on his style of fighting outside of his region, and has proceeded further out of his homelands in such of his own propriety and wealth in somewhere foreign, and even to make tavern stories of old about a Warriors and Smithies town up north.
Journal log intry: Story of how I beat the tournament.
I had once entered a tournament, back in my time line.
It was a big competition with all sorts of people, criminals and psychos enrolled in the tourney to stay out of prison, some civilians, war veterans and soldiers, aliens, and me. I enrolled for the prize money, which ended up bringing me here, and the grand title of defeating Xan Kreigor. You see, starting in the year 2291, which is when the tournament and deathmatch were first formed, to 2341, when three more types entered the tournament, domination, assault, and capture the flag.((Technically six))
There was a lot of violence during that time, so the Liandri corp. devised the tourney to cut down the violence, but they gained so much during that time, money and places for the tournament to be faught, and all that. Anyway, on with the tournament.
First match: Blake.
A newbie fighter, just like me. I don't know his story, but I do know that he was indeed easy. However, I did make a couple of slip ups, he managed to gain a frag on me, and in case your wondering, a frag is a kill or point. But it was only a 10 frag match. And through it all I advanced pretty quickly. ((Average difficulty xD)) I think I did rather well, only did two rematches... until I got to HIM!
Final match: Xan Kreigor. ((https://2img.net/h/i217.photobucket.com/albums/c...XanKreigor.jpg))
What a sneaky bastard he was... oh, how I hated him! -.-'
He was stronger, faster, and tougher than me at the time. His favourite weapon seemed to be the flak cannon. He would annoy the hell outta me in so many ways... for one, he would come right up to me with his flak cannon and blast me right in the face with it, he would run straight for the cloaking device or sheild belt, and all I would have is a flak cannon of my own, a minigun or even a rocket launcher... at times he'd even attak me when I had nothing but my two enforcers here. *Grabs an enforcer on his hip and stare at the ground for a few seconds* Anyway, it was to no avail. *Lets out a forced chuckle* I had to fit him four times! I kept coming back and he seemed more than happy to take me. But this fight, it seemed to be going alot better, oddly enough, however, he had 14 frags to my 8, but IT hit me, I devised the ultimate plan that would save my ass... first, pick up a rocket launcher, load it up to max holding capacity, 48 rockets, stay around the shield belt and health viles((+5 health per, also increases max health by 5 per, max of 199)), minor help, but they got me through it. I kept stacking frags after that, he was getting fraustrated, I was getting excited! And finally to finish him, I used the flak cannon, and I won, 15 to 14, closest and hardest match in the whole tournament ever.((https://2img.net/h/i217.photobucket.com/albums/c...07/OMFGO0o.jpg))
So, I took the prize money and title and went to someone who majored in timetravel/interdimensional travel.... However, it was expensive, but I didn't care. I just wanted to get away from it all. After coming here, I took up the study of the sword and practiced on my sword fighting and lightning/electricity manipulation and learned how to surge it through the sword and later I learned how to not just charge it, but how to blast it. A couple of months after that I came to this tavern/inn/bar and encountered you guys.
I must admit, it'll still take awhile to get used to this magic and telepathy business. ^_^;
But, I'll manage. I must say, It's a hell of alot more peaceful here!
