NAME Ironeye AGE ? WEAPON Bows, daggers SPECIES Human * PROFESSION Assassin, Nightfarer CANON Elden Ring: Nightreign

Stand tall. The Night is far from over.

PITCH Ironeye is a career assassin who travels to the Lands Between on a contract to root out and retire a traitor to his organization. In so doing, he enters into service to the Roundtable Hold as a Nightfarer: a warrior who braves the endless supernatural Night in order to slay the beasts that embody its dark power. Torrential rains accompany the Night, eroding all it touches -- including Ironeye's memories, and that of his companions. The only thing they cannot forget, seemingly, is their mission to slay the Nightlord.

Methodical and businesslike at first glance, Ironeye's cool exterior serves as camouflage for a man with a longing for battle, a deep desire for freedom, and an iron will. Those few who slip past his guard may find a surprisingly supportive ally... or a wounded beast.

HOOKS Weapons / bows / poisons / pirates / the sea / comradery / death / battle / dragons / gods / eldritch beings and other abominations / aliens / let him find things for you / memory loss / freedom / let him kill stuff for you /

LOVESHIPS I enjoy cross-canon and writing relationships in general. It's all about the vibes and whether characters fit together for me! Canonwise, I find Ironeye with Wylder, Duchess, or Raider the most interesting.

I see Ironeye as either dominant or a switch if he takes a liking to someone. Open to M/M or M/F.
Casual dating/flirting ✔️
Mono ships ✔️
Poly ships ❌

As a warning, Ironeye is one of Those Who Live in Death. By all indications, he seems to work identically to a normal living person -- he breathes, bleeds, can be poisoned, feel pain, etc., but after coming into contact with the power of the Rune of Death, he is undead and can no longer be killed by conventional means.

FRIENDSHIPS What kind of positive and platonic CR you're looking for? List them here!
- Battle-tested comrade CR
- Covering for each other's weaknesses
- Comically different backgrounds, somehow immaculate vibes
- Someone he could mentor would be interesting, since I don't think he ever gets to interact with people in that way and it'd be a new experience
- Fellows in hardship and sorrow. Gimme that despaircore continuing to fight on even when all is lost

HATESHIPS Not looking for negative CR unless it's agreed on with a player beforehand.

Archery is my domain. Give me the means, and I will fell the thing.

RUMORS
- Rarely shows his face or takes off his armor
- Dresses like the most suspicious man alive
- Has a mysterious voice and says John Nightreign-ass things
- Eyes are insanely blue

aka he looks like extremely suspect, have fun theorycrafting

HAUNTS Ironeye loves high places, the seashore, and feeling the wind. He probably prefers natural environments to highly developed ones. If indoors, he'll find a nice wall or chair to be mysterious and brood in. Maintaining his weapons is a common pastime.

In Somnia, he lives at The Dakota.

Actually Useful

TRAIT	WEAKNESSES
Storm edge: Can manipulate air pressure/currents to enhance physical attacks depending on the nature of his weapon. Examples: - Arrows fly faster and farther, and are granted additional destructive spiraling cutting power. - Blades have an extended wind slash component. Inspiration: Transient Moonlight - Blunt objects have strong concussive force - Can deflect attacks with the force of air pressure. Ash of War inspiration: Stormcaller, storm assault, storm stomp, storm blade, storm wall	- Must be paired with physical attack as base, the more familiar to Ironeye, the better.  - If tried as a straight spell, less efficacious - Overuse leads to fatigue and error/risk of rebound - Each deflected attack requires additional stamina.
Surge sprint: - Capable of sudden bursts of speed or lift. Air dash time!	- Straight sprinting (the speed part) only lasts as long as stamina, must recover between uses of sprinting - Metabolic increase created by using these bursts of movement must be fueled through additional calories
Storm Warning : - Summoning small localized storms -- rain, lightning, freezing rain, etc.	- Requires a lot of concentration, vulnerable while casting - May spiral out of control if interrupted or storm gets too big - May dissipate if concentration broken
Night and Flame : - Suddenly heating or cooling pockets of air to cook or freeze a target.	- Requires a lot of concentration, vulnerable while casting - May spiral out of control, rebound if interrupted - Works best when target is inside a visible enclosure
Air pressure experimentation (in progress) : - He's been experimenting with air pressure: compressing/expanding air, heating/cooling it, etc. - In particular, he's interested in developing advanced applications like rain, lightning, controlling airflow, cooking things, and popping the air out of a living creature's body 😫	- Currently limited success - Requires extra energy - Requires a lot of concentration, vulnerable while casting

Minor Abilities

TRAIT	WEAKNESSES
Lacrima, the long-tailed cat: - All falling damage that would be nonfatal is nullified.	- Fatal falls remain lethal, lol get trolled - Works on self or someone directly touching self only, limited duration.
Self Weather report (passive): - Mild weather changes mirror emotional state on occasion	- Betrays emotional state - Cannot be controlled
