Name: Sera Firma
Age: 20
Appearance: Black hair, dark blue eyes, roughly 5'7". He wears a blue, hooded robe with an orange trim and short, roughly torn sleeves, an orange cloth belt, and a black undersuit made of a thicker, more durable material which bears a patch that looks like the planet on each arm. Usually he can be seen with a large stone banded to each arm that reaches from a little past the elbow to shortly over the ends of his fingers.
History: He was raised in a temple of God at the near-peak of a mountain far away. There, since he was approximately ten years-old, he was trained in the meditative combat styles of the temple.
The "Crushing Fists of Earth" style is implemented while his rock gauntlets are worn. By modulating his breathing, center of gravity, and body weight at once, a practitioner of this style staggers about in an oddly graceful manner, this makes his movements generally unpredictable and more evasive to oncoming attacks until he can get inside and strike mighty blows with his stone fists. The style is slow and difficult to master, but the blows landed are devastating to the opponent.
Nextly, the "Righteous Hands of Heaven" style becomes utilised as a transition from the previous style when the stone gauntlets are removed from their wearer. Naturally, without the heavy encumberance, the warrior becomes much faster and agile. Those of so much as moderate prowess with the Earth style become blindingly fast in this discipline. This style is hard to pin down, with its accelerated speed and the ability to unleash a series of blows seemingly at once, but if the user is somehow immobilised or unable to run he is much easier to defeat. This is because the overall strength of the style comes from the constantly building momentum of the fighter running about along with simply confounding the opponent.
Having learned all he could, both in the fighting styles and in the teachings of God, Sera left the Temple to journey the land, spreading God's word to all. This lead him to Avaren eventually, and concurrently, allowing his real adventure to begin...
