"I survive a few rounds of a two-on-one against a psychopath and they call me a hero for it? That's too sad for me to even laugh."
Fion Seyour
Nation of Birth:
Dansila
Height:
6'1"
Race:
Human
Personality:
While not as bad as he was three years ago, Fion is still a sarcastic and cynical ass, always having a sardonic comment at hand. He almost seems to live for pissing people off for his own amusement, but his words are generally without malice unless he severely dislikes someone. But Fion can be a decent person to his friends and will abuse whatever resource he possesses to help someone if he likes them.
Biography:
Born as the first and only child of the previous head of Dansila's esteemed Seyour family, Fion Seyour lived a rather charmed life. Or at least he did until he lost his left arm at the age of eight to an attack from a rift beast. After he was found, the Seyour family spared no expense in hiring the finest healers available to transplant an arm from a girl that had perished during the attack onto the family heir. Afterwards, Fion began to show a strange aptitude for Sword Arts when he began his martial training, despite being male. The Seyour family had always been renowned as Dansila's foremost experts in combat and military service, and like the rest of his family, Fion enrolled in Dansila's Academy of War. However, with his skill in Sword Arts, he quickly began to outstrip his peers, graduating from the academy two years early. After acing his final exams with flying colors, Fion followed the Seyour family tradition and enlisted in the military. However, an unexpected problem came up: the cocky prodigy didn't mesh well with the army's rigid discipline, and a mere six months after his enlistment, Fion was dishonorably discharged from the military. Naturally, the Seyour family's shame knew no bounds as it was revealed that their golden child washed out of the army, and thus he was stripped of his title as heir, but not disowned from the family. With no marketable skills besides his swordsmanship, Fion took up life as a mercenary, wandering across Dansila, killing people and rift beasts for money. All the while, he mooched off of his family whenever he found himself in Cykes again, if only to piss them off. After two years of this, Fion found himself caught up in the opening acts of war, having witnessed the birth of the Musphelheim demon in Talze Utera. And but a month after that, Fion had the bad luck to be in the underground city of Burrow when it had been destroyed. Fion fought the perpetrator, but found himself utterly decimated by the opposing mage's superior magics. The mercenary survived the battle, but lost his right arm in the process.
Meanwhile, back in Cykes, the rest of the Seyour family was slaughtered alongside hundreds of other Dansilans during the night of the massacre, ironically leaving Fion as the head of the family by virtue of there being no other Seyours alive. Being the only Seyour left, Fion took the family's seat on Dansila's ruling council, the Sidosa Board. With his sword arm gone, Fion retreated into politics for a brief time, trying but ultimately failing to prevent the Courtright and Escellar families from taking a majority on the Sidosa Board, leaving them with the authority to declare war on Talze Utera in retribution for the slaughter of Cykes.
As all this occurred, Fion found himself plagued by nightmares while occasionally losing control of his left arm. It was then that a friend of Fion's mother, Tanith Seyour, revealed to Fion the truth of what had happened to him as a child: his arm had come from Fion Meyer, a girl who had died during the Talentless Strife that had been the last scion of a bloodline of powerful mages. The only reason that Fion Seyour could use Sword Arts was because of Meyer's arm. Moreover, Fion learned that a fragment of Fion Meyer's soul had survived through her arm, and the talentium in Fion's sword had been slowly reviving her consciousness. This lead to her trying to assert control over Fion's left arm, and it was theorized that as her consicousness awoke further, she would begin trying to take over Fion's body for her own.
As Dansila prepared for war, Fion disappeared from the public eye for a time. When the God Slayer and his armies began to march upon Dansila and Astopol, Fion reappeared as the Dansilan army was slaughtered, bearing a new right arm forged from talentium that was the shade of an eerie blue-green. Displaying heights of power that he had never reached before, Fion cut a bloody swathe through the Talze Uteran army alongside the tainted Crystala Araki until the two stood before the God Slayer himself. The two companions fought the God Slayer for a time until the vampire Rilolia appeared, bringing the tyrant down with a stab to the back. When the dust settled, Fion became renowned in Dansila as one of the few who had stood against the God Slayer in battle and helped bring him down. Afterwards, Fion used what influence the Seyour name had left to pledge his support behind Rilolia's Conference of Greats. Once the Conference finished, Fion returned to Dansila, where he found himself reelected to the reconstituted Sidosa Board. Strangely enough, despite his vocal dislike of politics, Fion accepted the position.
In the two years since the Conference, Fion has remained relatively quiet in the field of politics, only acting to oppose any who would go against the Conference's decrees. Meanwhile, he has been spotted meeting with the Witchmother of the East on multiple occasions over the past two years, leading some to suspect an affair. Fion has also been said to have hired mercenaries and trackers to venture into Talze Utera. When pressed about this in private by his allies on the Sidosa Board, he only stated that he was trying to track down "a certain witch".
