User:Myrhin Leonir

Appearance
A cat of the Northern Lynx breed. He has thick grey fur with dark stripes running horizontally across his body and head, black tufts on the tops of his ears and ruffs of hair under each cheek all characteristic of his breed. Also typical is the short tail with a black tip. He also has larger paws. All in all he seems to look distinguished with a military stance. The grey hair combined with the cheek ruffs tends to make him look like he is in his mid to late thirties despite only being 27.

Nearly always seen wearing his flight gear but often with the upper half of the suit unzipped and folded down over the waist. The clear pocket on his left knee usually holds a map. A pair of swords are usually held crossed on scabbards on his back. Both curved Japanese swords, a Katana and a Wakizashi, are not only useful as weapons but also representative of his sense of honour and duty.

Bio
Sir Myrhin Leonir (simply Myrhin Leonir as he would prefer) is a relatively new patron to the R&P but is a veteran pilot who turned in his wings several years ago. Unlike a great deal of the patrons at the R&P he is more inclined to discuss his past.

Early Years
Born the 19th day of Fuselicorn, 179AU on Eltsina, Myrhin had a typical childhood on the cold planet. His Northern Lynx heritage giving him natural advantages in the snow. His mother liked to raise cattle on the family property and she continues to produce milk in her retirement.

Flight School (Round One)
A love of the mechanical, a knack for operating vehicles and the desire to fly led Myrhin to begin flight school at 17. He scored well in aptitude, navigation, maths and sciences and showed inate piloting skills. With significant work in night and summer school programs he exited the flight school in a year and a half. After six months of cargo running he was recruited by a group known as the Knights of the Round Table.

Knights of the Round Table
He speaks little of the Knights of the Round Table (KOTRT). Either because he doesn't know or because he refuses to talk. The history books speak little of the group either. What is known is that KOTRT was founded by the Order of Gisela. They operated from a small skylet known as Camelot. All KOTRT pilots are knighted by the Order of Gisela and KOTRT were used, by Gisela, to search for artifacts related to the heir to the Skytopian throne. In the off time they spent a lot of time spreading the good name of the Knights and the Order by escorting medical and food relief convoys, defending nearby skylands from pirates and attacking pirate outposts. The KOTRT became infamous in Pirate circles.

The End of the Knights
Eventually the Pirates had grown tired of KOTRT's activities and mounted an attack on Camelot including a plane retrofitted with a unobtanium cannon. The cannon was not properly mounted and apon firing tore the aircraft apart. The cannon and ammo were lost to the sea. Camelot had never been stabilized by skystone as the topography made it impossible and when it was hit by the cannon it destabilized and fell into the sea. Eight of twenty ground crew members escaped on a dirigible. All twelve of the groups pilots made it up into the air to fight off the attack but were outnumbered and outgunned. When the pirates finally withdrew four pilots were missing, four dead, two had ejected (including Myrhin) and were rescued and two escaped.

Myrhin's Dark Ages
After months of recovery Myrhin took jobs as a cargo attendant, aircraft assembly and aircraft repair. He found himself completely unable to resume flying, having lost confidence in his ability. As he says "There are too many memories behind that stick". During these eight years Myrhin was at his worst and he rarely goes into details about the events. On the tenth aniversary of his flight school enrolement he finally got up the nerve to fly again.

Flight School (Round Two)
He is currently enrolled in flight school for the second time to refresh his skills again. Finally able to fly again he feels right at home but the memories return to haunt him from time to time. He also prefers not to be refered to with the title Sir as he has yet to prove to himself that he is once again deserving of the title.

Aircraft
When he finished flight school and graduated out of the CR-4P he kept the aircraft in storage. When he returned to flying the venerable CR-4P was brought out, modified and modernized so he could use it for flight school again.


 * CR-4P
 * Phantom
 * Seahawk

He maintains the same name across all his aircraft. They have all been named "Apprentice of Razgriz" after a poem he was read as a child.

Crew
Gi Park: A cat from Isla di Pisa and an ex-military crewman. Little is known of "G" since she was only recently hired for Myrhin's crew.

The Legend of Razgriz
"Whenever history witnesses a great change, Razgriz reveals itself...first, as a dark demon. As a demon, it uses its power to rain death upon the land, and then it dies. However, after a period of slumber, Razgriz returns, this time, as a great hero."


 * "Admist the eternal waves of time,
 * From a ripple of change shall the storm rise,
 * Out of the abyss peer the eyes of a demon,
 * Behold the Razgriz, its wings of black sheath.


 * The demon soars through dark skies,
 * Fear and death trail its shadow beneath,
 * Until me united wield a hollowed sabre,
 * In final reckoning, the beast is slain.


 * As the demon sleeps, man turns on man,
 * His own blood and madness soon cover the earth,
 * From the depths of despair awaken the Razgriz,
 * Its raven wings ablaze in majestic light."
