~Sword Saint~
_______________________________________________________________________

 
History: Ajax of the Blade, The Dorrians, and Callifax

Attack forms (Physical): Sword (Callifax), (4)Enchanted Throwing daggers +4, Martial Arts, Great Bow

Special Skills and Abilities:Due to Ajax's extensive training in all forms of martial arts and war craft, he has the ability to wield any weapon with great proficiency. (though it should be noted he will rarely use any but Callifax in combat unless no other option presents itself) Blind Fighting, Swimming, Basic First Aide, Tumbling, Land Based Riding, Tracking, and Survival. He also has extensive knowledge of War craft, Blade Smithing and Armoring. He is literate and also has skills of Tactical Land Surveying and Cartography.

Superhuman Physical Powers: Ajax was formidable warrior even before the many changes he has gone through. However, above and beyond the listed attributes above, he has several special skills that are unique
1. Ajax is virtually tireless in battle, [Ajax's Endless Onslaught] and will never tire from exhaustion when in combat.
2. Damage Resistance of the first 15 points of damage from every attack.
3. When surrounded by superior numbers, Ajax can place himself in the most advantageous location as to minimize the attacks against him [Dance of the Sword] and reduce the number of attackers facing him by 50%.

Superhuman Mental Powers: Ajax has the ability to maintain mental clarity when in battle. Any attempt to cause confusion, rage or berserk to him during combat fails. He is also immune to fear of any kind, and can project an Aura of Fearlessness in a 50'radius [Ajax's Moral of the Brave] making all within immune to the effects of fear and horror. Ajax also posseses the ability to predict what others will do in combat allowing him to tactically decide the best action in combat. [Ajax's Premonition of Battle]

Superhuman Mystic Powers: As a Sword Saint, Ajax can command any sword in a 30' radius of him. [Master of the Blade](Note - This only works on swords, but will work on any sword normal or enchanted.) He can summon at any time a group of up to 100 elite mercenaries, gating them to his location. [Ajax's Instant Reinforcements] They will fight as directed by Ajax, and if killed, will return to the original location from which they were summoned. In rare instances, Ajax can also summon his energies for one massive attack of pin point accuracy. After such an attack, he will be drained considerably. [Strike of the Rightous] Ajax also has powers within the spheres of War, Divination, Combat, Protection, Healing and Guardian.


Special Limitations: As a Blade Kin, Ajax will be pulled to find the others like him and be forced to battle them. He also must submerge the pommel stone of Callifax in his own blood in a golden chalice once a month upon the grounds of a battle field, then spill the contents upon the field.

Source of Superhuman Powers: Though the initial changing of Ajax was attributed to Callafax, he has also gone through several devine enhancements via artifacts and accention within the ranks of the Gods of the Pantheon.
