Name: Ventis Victorine
Age: Early to mid twenties
Height: Roughly six feet, give or take a few inches
Weight: 150-160lbs.
Appearance: Ventis is not as his legends would suggest. He is of middling height and middling weight- perhaps a touch too thin for most sensibilities. He is lithe, rather than muscular, though he is corded with the thick, ropy muscle of someone who has spent most of their life at the sword rather than the plow. Aquiline features highlight an otherwise-narrow face, and his grey eyes are both unusual and striking.
Abilities: Spellbreaker Specialist: Ventis has studied magic from a young age- for the express purpose of defeating the metaphysical bonds that make up the warp and weave of what we call mana. He shapes neither elements nor energies- rather, Venties relies on a quick-and-dirty style of evocation that allows him to interject short bursts of energy into the complex forms and webs of a spell- if utilized properly, with deftness and alacrity, manipulating the core threads of magic allows Ventis to negate the effects of most spells- and in some cases, turn those effects back on the user.
Supernal Awareness: Ventis' years of specialized study have granted him a unique passive ability. He can tap into an extended awareness bred by years of close proximity to the mana, or the source of magical power. This allows him to recognize and identify the key elements of a spell being prepared or cast. It is important to realize that this essentially produces a schematic for Ventis to read- experience and skill are the defining factors in his understanding of the spell in question.

Equipment: Bulwark of Adramaos: A tower shield, roughly a foot and a half wide and nearly three feet in height. The shield itself is an ancient relic, worn and rusted with time. A flayed man, staked through hand and foot, is stretched across a bloody field in stark relief across the front of the shield- the arms of Adramaos, butcher king of legend. What makes this shield special is its unique enchantment- the shield does not so much block blows, as stop them. The Bulwark is special in that it absorbs the kinetic energy of any object that strikes it, immediately converting it to potential energy that is stored for use with the other pieces of Adramaos' ancient gear.
Vigilance of Adramaos: What energy the shield devours, when used in conjunction with the pitted, faded, cracked suit of plate that Ventis wears, is cycled constantly through the Vigilance as untapped potential energy, thereby giving Ventis the ability to move faster and strike harder as combat progresses.
Heartseeker: The companion blade to the Vigilance and Bulwark, Heartseeker is a simple, single-edged blade with a reinforced unbladed edge. The only special enchantment the sword possesses is simple fortification, to be able to withstand the increased potential and kinetic energy load granted by the armor and shield.
NOTE: Both armor and shield are old, and are not in peak condition. The shield has it's enchantment, but the armor is certainly not impenetrable protection.
