First Impressions

Sylvain is a fairly large man but he very rarely gives off the impression of being in any way intimidating. He tends to slouch and lean and in general his body language is very relaxed and almost lazy. His smiles come easily but for anyone really looking they rarely reach his eyes. Sylvain has also never once in his life fully buttoned a shirt he owns. This makes his executor mark very obvious as his crest encircles his throat and extends down over his chest and back. His clothes tend towards black and burgundy with blue/teal accents. Though he is perfectly comfortable walking around in his executor armor all day.

Powers & Abilities

✦ Lance of Ruin:
A very large and heavy lance that seems to be made of bone and steel. It has clearly seen a great deal of use and has complex engravings in the main point surrounding a baseball sized crystal embedded in it. Unlike Dimitri's that might twitch if you stare at it too long the Lance of Ruin actively moves pretty much constantly. It is very unnsettling, especially given that it glows a deep ruddy orange when held by Sylvain.

✦ Cavalier:
During Boss Combat, when Sylvain summons his horse, he gains one additional point of Movement while his steed is active. However, he also sacrifices one point of Durability which is given to the horse. When the steed is removed from battle, Sylvain loses his bonus point of Movement as well as the point of Durability he gave to the steed. Outside of battle, it's obviously just a cool horse he can summon and dismiss at will. She does not require food of any kind.

✦ Fire:
Relatively weak fire spell. A little weaker than a standard weapon attack but higher accuracy. 10 uses a day. Can also be toned down for convenient household things like warming one's tea or starting a cookfire without exploding the campsite, little things like that.

✦ Heal:
Ruin can spend one action to restore a single point of durability upon touching an ally. Light duty heals 3 uses per encounter.

✦ Black Beast:
When knocked down to 0 Durability, instead of retreating from battle, Ruin undergoes a Black Beast transformation and is kicked back up to 2 Durability, dropping his movement down to 1. This transformation is permanent until the battle ends, or until Ruin is knocked down to 0 Durability again, at which point he will be removed from battle like usual. While Ruin can still be healed by allies, when in Black Beast form his Durability cannot be raised to more than 2.

Inventory & Memoria

✦ Crestology: Crest system, relevance, and basic political structures. This includes knowledge of all of the crests but not of their names.

✦ Brotherhood: Ruin has remembered his elder brother and a large portion of his childhood including the constant abuse Miklan heaped upon him as children. He also knows about the many attempts on his life and why Miklan hated him so much. The nerve damage inflicted by exposure to extreme weather was also brought back to him.
