=Hyashi=

Hyashi was a 6'0" Arctic Fox whose life went for a number of interesting twists, most of which went to his head. Not to say that all of his problems were oddly convenient, as most of them were brought upon by himself.

Early Life
Hyashi was born on Eltsina just before the Tortugan Upheaval. His parents, both heavily active members in the Jade Hand, had gone to go aid in the Hand's efforts on Tortuga. During the fight, Hyashi's father had allegedly died in order to protect his mother, who was en-route to Fuseli.

While all that was happening, Hyashi was transported to Jordan, where his faulty memory served to make him believe that his mother died giving birth to him upon the skyland. Not remembering the first few years of his life, he found himself with a note to Lord Gilbert asking to accept him into Flight School.

After graduating from Flight School alongside Michael, his first friend, he got himself a plane and got into the Jade Hand. Once there, he learned of his actual birthplace, and the facts of his parents. His mother had died of natural causes, and his father in the Tortugan Upheaval.

Life
After those days, Hyashi developed an incredible talent for musicianship, having plenty of practice time while flying his Leviathan, the Overture. He was a composer, as well as a player for nearly any non-brass instrument. His primary talents included the Piano, Guitar, and Cello. His most famous work was called 'Alone', which was performed alongside Sadistica. Before he died, he produced ‘Wither’, performed alongside Delphus Sara

Before he composed Alone, Hyashi found out that he has a half-brother, known as Jon-Michael Plont of the Crimson Armada. Traditionally, the two were better friends than enemies, but due to recent events, Hyashi has found himself in a bad relationship with Plont. He did not get to apologize before he died.

Hyashi was engaged in a polygamous relationship with a Leopardess named Autumn, and another woman named Kassina. The three are in were very happy relationship, and the wedding was planned to happen sometime soon, when Hyashi’s mental illness developed to it’s final stage.

It was recently confirmed that Hyashi had a mild case of asthma, which made him unable to do physically straining activities for extended periods of time. In an argument with Plont, he actually passed out.

Death
Hyashi died in a well thought out scheme that unfolded similar to a tragic play of his own creation. His illness (Known as Posttraumatic Stress Disorder to some advanced doctors), was not largely known about, or how it affected people. Due to strains on the marriage, and too many loose ends to handle, Hyashi’s brain metaphorically snapped.

In a very sinister move, he developed a relationship with Althea, knowing she was a former assassin. He figured that since he owned the Overture, she would either have a hit on him, or would soon get one. So to set the ‘stage’, he hired her as his bodyguard.

From there, he used knowledge of her past and allusions to his own to develop a trust between the two, whereupon she asked if she could kill him, to his agreement. He was shot once in a diagonal line going from his upper waist to his middle back. He then passed out due to blood loss, and died.

Hyashi’s dying words explained his tactic, much to Althea’s dismay. He tried to console her before the loss of blood overtook him. While he bled, the only person with a medicinal kit was struggling to get to his body before it was too late. Suffice to say, they failed.

Appearance, Clothing, and Personality
Hyashi bore a 'pure' coat of white abroad his entire body. This, combined with his birthplace, allowed his body to shrug off mildly cold temperatures, though inversely makes him sensitive to heat. As such, his favorite type of weather is snow. His eyes matched the secondary color of his clothes, which is usually an Emerald Green.

He usually wore a black Flight Suit that sported a green belt, green lining, green gloves, and a green scarf, while everything else on the suit was black. His formal attire was very similar, being a black long coat over top a black vest, which in turn lies above a silk green shirt. Green gloves, black pants, and black suede shoes complete this outfit.

Despite his repetitive taste in clothing, Hyashi was a very sporadic person. His mood swung anywhere from happy, to somber, to angry, probably due to the PTSD. His emotions were incredibly mixed on a number of matters that run through his head, presenting an almost childlike attitude towards some things. Knowing this, Hyashi hired a crew who not only aided him aboard the Overture, but as well as personal issues. Otherwise, he was a great and loyal friend, willing to go great distances to help another.

=The Overture=



The Overture is a Leviathan whose hull has been upgraded to a size larger than any stock Leviathan. It sports multiple external engines including the primary rear engine. It propels itself at a maximum speed of 200 Kph, with a stall of 20 kph. The Overture's armor capacity is divided into compartments, allowing for a good amount of armor to be stuck on it. In addition to the compartments, there are layers to protect the primary balloon, as well as the various things inside the Overture.

The mark on either side of the Leviathan is noted to be Hyashi's personal insignia and signature. Any document pertaining to the ship, crew, or his personal affects bear this symbol, including uniforms. Each crew member proudly displays this symbol just above their left breast, above any factional watermarks. Hyashi wears a pin of this symbol on his scarf, next to the Jade Hand pin.

The Overture, in Hyashi’s final moments, were handed over to Althea by his consent. What she does with it, is her decision. Though it was asked that she “take good care of [it]”.

Notable Crew
Aboard the Leviathan, are 5 notable member of whom perform various duties. There is Yon Sinn: The Diplomat, Michael Summers: The Medic, Charity Bagnold: Chief Mechanic, and Olga Ignator, The Navigator. All of the crew, except for Michael, are female by coincidence. All crew are on permanent shore leave to pursue their own lives, as ordered by Hyashi a day before his death.

Yon Sinn
Standing at 6'1", the white furred dingo wears a black/blue jumpsuit over her whole body. She bears long white hair, and sapphire blue eyes to complement her coat. As a Diplomat who puts her work just after her morals, she can come off anything from flirtatious, egotistical, or even shy. Yon Sinn has yet to fail any event that required her various skills in Diplomacy. She is the middle child of the Sinn Sisters, who are three identical sisters, as well as notable Diplomats who go through extensive training. Yon Sinn is married to Redimont, and has two children: Avagail and Ian.

Michael Summers
Hyashi's first friend from Flight School, and long time associate within the various accidents that occur. Michael comes from a line of doctors and medicinal trainers, all of whom have been noted for their practices. He isn't the best, but he is a handy person to have around. He is usually soft spoken around many people, but is nonetheless friendly. Michael is not married, but is dating Maya Sey.

Charity Bagnold
The Caracal cat from Fuseli. Charity's skill in mechanics can be traced to an academy on Uurwerk, where her sister Grace graduated alongside her. She has been known to specialize in Zeppelins, especially Leviathans. Upon learning this, Hyashi quickly hired the twins, and had them as part of the crew until Jon-Michael Plont was given Grace as a gift.

=The Player=

This Skyrate's player, more often than not, probably has something better to do than get on Skyrates or edit his Wiki page. Whether or not he actually does it however, is debatable. Being an actual musician and a writer with a rather bad case of ADHD, he finds himself constantly distracted, with a need to output creative 'flow' some how. Primarily, this is done through RP. If you're looking for him, shoot a PM his direction, or hang around the RP tab from 3-4:30 PM CST.

Additionally, this player RP's in realms FAR beyond Skyrates, including DnD and LARP, in addition to standard Roleplay, be it forum-based or chat. If you feel the need, you can get his AIM account (Skyratehyashi) or his YIM account (affinityoffur@yahoo.com) and RP there.

Why is he talking in 3rd person? No idea. But do note the following: Because I am a musician who is determined to go somewhere with these talents, I have to devote SOME time to that, at least an hour.

Some times, I have good RP days, and other times my RP's are just dumb. If you, the reader or fellow writer, could give constructive criticism on something you feel is missing or needs to be, that would be wonderful.

And on a final note, while I have a sense of humor and sarcasm, I take RP rather seriously. As it is a branch of writing, which is an art form in I avidly participate in. As such, unsavory comments about my writing is not appreciated, nor welcomed. (Example would be a long paragraph detailing on how much my character sucks.)

Final Notes
HOLY CRAP you made it this far! Or you were cheating and used the context menu at the top. Either way, thanks for reading this profile. I hope it helped. Feel free to edit as needed.

Yes, Hyashi is dead. He died fairly, and without much of an issue. Why did I have him die? Why did I take so much time to develop such an elaborate death? Because Hyashi’s character strayed too far from the original sheet I wrote for him. He turned into a character I felt was a burden to play, more than actual fun.

I will make another character, and try to avoid all the drama, or at least most of it.

=Victoria=

Victoria Page Baynes went through some interesting times in the past few years of her life. She started flight school much later than most, as her father needed taking care of whilst he was ill on Echo. Though she did get private tutoring during that time on mechanics, she never actually went to school until her father got better, in which he did.

Having graduated a month and a few days before her 20th birthday, she is now a full-fledged mechanic, and is willing to be hired by those who need one. Her price is not as bad as the moles outside, but then again, they are professionals.

Appearance, Clothing, and Personality
Victoria’s fur pattern is very standard for a snow leopard, with the undercoat on her stomach (as if anyone would see) as white, forming to gray on her sides, and a darker shade on her back. Dotting the gray, are black spots with brown centers that run all the way to her cheeks, and almost to the tip of her large tail.

Typically, she wears a black jacket over a black sleeveless shirt. Complete with blue jeans and black combat boots, she is very hard not to notice, due to the contrast of coloring. Other than that, she works in a standard issue orange jumpsuit worn either under her clothing or just by it self.

Her friends in Flight School would describe her as an upfront kind of person, who usually does not do a whole lot to be subtle, as indicated by her clothing. Sure, she’s friendly, as long as others are willing to return the favor. She may even throw frequent parties should the contenders actually show up.

Craft
The “Xeal” (Pronounced Zeal) has many rumored ideas on the origin of its strange name. Victoria herself has not said anything, but friends say either it means Zeal as in the descriptive term, or it is short for Zealous, a term used to describe Victoria, and her eager-for-adventure personality. It is a junker whose engines were modified by Victoria to move just a bit faster than a stock.
