Name: Travis B. SwordicusAppearance: Waist length, scraggy brown hair with a black highlight down his right side near his bangs, which is mostly unkempt and slightly curly with no attempts to make it look neat. He has brown eyes, slightly pale skin, and stands about 5'4". He is currently 25 years old.
His left arm has been replaced with a
mechanical clawed arm, which is able to fire explosives or shoot flames at his foes. His usual outfit is an red shirt with shoulder, chest, wrist, and elbow guards, with accommodations for his mechanical arm, blue denim pants with knee guards, hip guards, and calf guards. He also wears red fingerless gloves and blue armored shoes. The metal armor parts are made of lightweight silver, allowing fluid movement and decent defense to support his glass cannon-like fighting style.
Personality: Quiet, but brash, calm but wrathful, Travis' personality is as fluid as ice cream melting on the sidewalk. He's often non-sequitur, sometimes rambling about things completely unrelated to the topic at hand. However, in combat, he's quite level headed and knows how to command the battlefield using his mecha-arm and sword-fighting skills. When he's not in combat however he's very quiet and usually won't speak unless talked to. He's often called Insane purely because of his bipolar personality, but those who've gotten to know him can vouch that he's not a bad person, just a bit strange.
Backstory: Originally a scientist in the first Cutstuff War, Travis was assumed dead after his defeat against the Yellow Devil in Agorix City. However, after his teammates left him, he awoke some time later alone in the desolated part of the city. He had lost the use of his left arm, as the bones within were completely shattered. He weakly picked up the parts of his old robotic copy of Rush, put them inside of his damaged knapsack, and spent 3 weeks roaming the streets of Agorix, until finding the Salburr Forest. Eventually, he found a crash site of a very old airship, and took up residence within this airship while he allowed his body to finally recuperate from the damage he sustained. Time passed, civilization changed, and as such Travis matured and honed his technological knowledge. At last, his magnum opus was created - The Falcon Claw, a new bio-mechanical arm to replace his ruined left arm. He used the make-shift lab within the airship to implement his new arm, testing it's capabilities within the forest. He then began to learn swordsmanship, mastering his skills with a blade so he could survive. A few years later, after turning 19, he finds a sword in a stone within Salburr Forest. Upon pulling it out, he names the sword Excalibur after the legendary weapon used by King Arthur.
Sometime in the future, he has finished repairing the airship he has lived in for these many years. He has added different adornments and things, making it resemble a Golden Falcon. Named the
Turbulent Falcon, he set out to explore the world. He fought many dangerous foes, and became stronger both mentally and physically. As he began recruiting allies, he realized he could make money off of his misadventures. Thus, the Golden Falcon mercenaries was born. He has since then roamed the world in the Turbulent Falcon, helping those who are willing to pay him for his services.
Weapon/Other Abilities: Travis has different abilities depending on what type of weapon he is currently using - Sword, Katana, or Claymore. In addition to his weapon specific skills, he can always use:
Blade Dancing - Because of his peerless swordsmanship, Travis is able to perform powerful multi-hit combos with ease, and can chain together his skills to extend his combos for a long time.
Fighting Style - Glass Cannon - Travis' armor is light for a reason - He prefers to overwhelm his opponents with powerful, lightning fast combos as opposed to absorbing damage like a tank.
Falcon Claw - As a result of many months of production,
Travis was able to replace his withered left arm with the Falcon Claw, which is able to act as a Flamethrower, shooting fireballs and streams of fire, as well as hurl explosive grenades or set the ground ablaze with nuclear-like heat. He can also use some special skills:
Overheat System - When Travis uses the Falcon Claw too much, it will enter "Overheat" mode, which will cause all fire-based attacks from his Falcon Claw to deal bonus damage, but in exchange cause recoil against Travis when used. To deactivate, Travis opens multiple vents installed within the arm to cool it off.
Ignition Gatling - Travis rapidly fires 3-5 volleys of fireballs at the foes, dealing more damage as more are shot out. In overheat mode he'll fire an extra volley and finish with a quick flamethrower stream.
Napalm Grenade - Instead of his usual grenades, Travis can throw special grenades that will explode on contact, spewing flames all around the impact site that linger for awhile.
Combo Extension - Travis can add his Falcon Arm into his basic attacks, allowing him to hit multiple times with both his weapon and his Falcon Arm in a combo to mix up his fighting style. He can also inflict burns on his foes with it.
Excalibur -
The mythical sword of legend, found within the sword in the stone. With it, Travis is able to perform multiple skills, such as:
Wolf Fang - Travis jumps into the air, crashing down and impacting the ground with his sword, causing rock spikes to fly up around him.
Advanced Slash Combo - Travis strikes with his sword 3-5 times, then finishes with a launching uppercut slash. Can be extended with more attacks by cancelling the uppercut.
Lightning Stab - Travis rushes past his foes at blinding speed, cutting apart all enemies within his range. Deals high damage, and can be combined with Falcon Claw strikes to inflict burns.
Ventus Laminas - A Katana forged of ancient meteorite metal, Travis prefers to use this the most often out of his weapons. With it, he is able to perform:
Zantetsuken - Travis unsheathes his Katana, then slashes forward quickly. If it makes contact, it has a chance to incapacitate his foe.
Blood Creed - Travis releases the Ventus Laminas' astral power, giving him life steal and a physical attack boost.
Cross Divide - Travis unsheathes either his Sword or Claymore, striking his foe in an X pattern, which can inflict bleed upon his foe.
Cerberus Fang - A mighty, two-handed claymore crafted from a dragon's tooth and a wyvern's ribcage. He can perform the following skills:
King's Light - Travis envelopes the Cerberus Fang with energy, giving it doubled damage against undead foes and can pierce through armor more easily.
Windmill Combo - Travis strikes with his claymore 2-4 times, then uses a continuous spin attack upon the enemy for about 6-8 seconds. Cannot be skill cancelled, and makes Travis a bit dizzy after use.
Sonic Blade Travis slashes with his claymore, sending out a magical shockwave at his foes. Can hit multiple enemies.
Limit Release - Phantom Sword - When Travis has taken enough damage, he can unleash
Phantom Sword, where Travis summons a phantom copy of Excalibur after binding the enemy to restrict movement. Travis then wails upon the foe, ending with a cross divide attack. After usage, the phantom copy can be used by Travis to dual wield with any of his other weapons.
Resurrection - As the years passed, Travis' ability to revive the dead has lost it's strength due to under use. He can no longer revive the dead, but in it's place he is able to instantly revive a downed or knocked out ally at the cost of 25% of his mana.
Tech Drive System - After combining a Fusion Core given to him by Annette with his Falcon Arm's Nuclear Core, Travis accidentally created the
Proteus Core, a powerful internal energy source for his arm. Using the new energy output, he created a system that allowed his Falcon Arm to use different elements or abilities depending on the drive currently inserted. He has access to the following Drives:
Frost Drive - Switching to the Frost Drive allows Travis to change his Falcon Arm's projectiles into Ice element versions of his basic attacks, as well as give his current sword a chance of inflicting
Ice Burn upon the target, which will slow down the affected target and cause slight damage over time.
Abyss Drive - Upon switching to the Abyss Drive, Travis' projectiles remain the same - However, they now have increased damage at the cost of lowering his defense even more than normal.
Harmony Drive - The Harmony Drive boosts Travis' Defense and Speed, as well as giving him a Regeneration Aura, at the cost of halving his attack power.
Weakness: Travis, although balanced very well, is lightweight. He's much more prone to
wind attacks, and is knocked back easier from heavy weapons.
Other: Before he was the captain of the Golden Falcon mercenaries, he was a scientist and experimented with different fighting styles. He used to have a power armor that allowed him to take the different Rush Adapter forms, and shoot a Knight Crush-like projectile. Ever since the loss of his left arm, however, he’s been more taken to swordplay. He also insists that he was part of a “Cutstuff War”, but people frequently tell him that such a war never happened, confusing him to no end. Eventually, Travis had learned he somehow entered a dimensional rift upon entering the Salburr Forest, transporting him to the more well-known version of Cutopia.
