Bio:
Arlos Kesata was born into a poor family in the desert
town of Molocc, an only child to a widowed mother. He was always
a very graceful and agile child, to almost legendary standards.
When he was eight years old, he began his first job: thieving, which
only helped his agility and dexterity. It was this way that he supported
for his mother, as he felt he should, being that she had little
other means of income for her and young Arlos. So he proceeded in
this line of work, even being taken in by the resident guild of
Thieves in the area, they trained him and taught him their ways.
When
Arlos was sixteen, his mother was struck ill and died. No-one of
the learnèd knew what it was, but Arlos was sure that he
did; he had heard stories of the evil Black Dragonflight using magicks
to poison the innocent. He vowed he would kill whoever was responsible.
It took him two years to find the dragon's lair, his work with the
thieves' guild had taught him how to find almost anything he needed.
As
he approached the dragon's lair, he steeled himself to what he had
to do, he knew that the dragon was evil and had killed his mother,
but he had never killed before. As he entered the lair the dragon
was there, looking at him, he dispatched it quickly and took one
of the dragon's fangs as a reward, which he crafted into a dagger,
which he named Dragonfang.
Arlos
though, in his arrogance and anger, had not realised that this was
all as the Wyrm had planned, after all, dragons are not the easiest
of beasts to take down without there being some other element involved.
Slowly Arlos began feeling colder, as though the world was becoming
darker. It was at this point, after 6 months of carrying Dragonfang
that he tried to be rid of it, he decided that it was the resonating
influence of the Black Dragon's tooth that was causing this effect.
But try as he would he could not destroy or get rid of it, it was
Soulbound.
He
resigned himself to his fate, and as he began to embrace his cursèd
blade, he discovered his power control shadow and darkness, and
even use it as a portal. If he was to fully leave his past however,
he would need to abandon his old label; he chose the new handle
of Mystyk and began life as a legendary thief and assassin for hire.
During this time he realised that he was no longer aging, he was
still the same age as he was when he took the fang; it seemed it
was maintaining his life.
He
made his name as both, but one problem aroused, people recognised
him by Dragonfang if he carried it unconcealed. They recognised
the "stranger with the fang of a dragon" and so he needed
different weapons. He had a magick weaponsmith craft him two Katars
from black iron, and had him imbue power over shadow using Dragonfang.
Mystyk named them Felblades. He made very many appearances throughout
history, but he never remains in one place for long, never getting
close to anything or anyone. To this day, Mystyk lives as thief
and assassin for hire. Moving from one job to the next.
