My body is made out of swords.
My blood is of iron, and my heart of glass.
I have survived countless battles.
Not even once have I retreated,
Not even once have I been understood.
I was always alone, intoxicated with victory on the hill of swords.
And thus, my life has no meaning.
Certainly, this body was made out of swords.

(hunger-seed)Oni-Spawn the oni part is shown by his third-eye and very small swept back horns
Ilizmagorti Native: You grew up in the city of
Ilizmagorti on Mediogalti Island, a pirate port infamous
for both the scoundrels who visit it and the feared Red
Mantis assassins who run it. You’ve been around pirates
all your life, but you’ve learned to be wary in your dealings
with people, as there’s no telling who might be a Red
Mantis in disguise. You gain a +1 trait bonus on Sense
Motive checks, and Sense Motive is a class skill for you. In
addition, your familiarity with the pirate’s life allows you
to make untrained Knowledge (local) checks regarding
pirates or the region of the Shackles.
Looking to make your fortune, you hopped aboard a
pirate ship in Ilizmagorti, and decided to celebrate your
safe arrival in Port Peril with a few drinks at a tavern
called the Formidably Maid. There were some suspiciouslooking
characters there, to be sure, and you decided to
give them a wide berth, but as you left, feeling a bit woozy
from drink, you were set upon by thugs in a dark alley
and knocked unconscious.

Background:
these are notes on how i am building the story so far just FYI I already know this guy is never going to get off the ground so i might as well do something good with it....
still working on this but the general idea is he does not know of his parents (Farther still alive, where about unknown, Type Voidsoul Oni) (Mother Dead, When giving birth) only known parent grandfather Taiga Cowley (Status: dead when 2 years to the current date, was a blacksmith a really good blacksmith nicknamed the The Hero of Wrought Iron, Shop was located at...the more I build the more flesh out this will be but things on this scale take time....

The Hero of Wrought Iron
This is the title given to the one who, in his life, got involved with many weapons, tempered them, and produced many swordsmen and soldiers. The proof that, in his previous life, this Archer was a human suitable not for battle, but rather manufacture.
little but of history he only told Felix of his mother and how his hometown came to besiege by "demons" aka the oni who raped and nearly kill his mother...
long story short after many years of teaching his art of making weapons and creating Kanshou and Bakuya (which the original was buried with Taiga) They were crafted more for the sake of crafting, as if questioning the meaning of the swordsmith, than for any real idea behind their creation. They were created without vanity, and lack a sense of purpose found in other swords. They contain no fighting spirit to defeat others or competitive spirit to beat other weapons, and they contain neither the desire to be famous nor the faith to accomplish great deeds. or so he told Felix....
ideas keep moving this story forward but it looks like it going to be a revenge/find your "true path" kind of a story so far....
Personality,Look:
His personality is thoroughly cynical, but at the same time, devoted, and even a little childish to the point that it makes him hard to hate. He doesn't lie, but he does keep secrets. He is sarcastic, but it's how he gives advice. the idea behind this is for one that is an ally of justice but has become jaded to this ideal because of time and certain events....
Felix has gray eyes and long white hair, which is usually kept in a high ponytail. unusual dark skin caused as side effect of his "magecraft". His upper body is covered in tribal tattoos, which have increased over time, starting from his early days as an apprentice blacksmith which has lead to covering his entire back, much of his chest, his extremities, and even much of his forehead. He wears black outfit with black leather coat with red scarf, white gloves. and carries black composite bow

note this is not my work stolen from F/SN for my own purpose.
this is also to replace the whole psionic thing with something that fits into the story better.
Projection (Trace Version)
referred as Tracing due the unique aria, "Trace On", that is used for its activation. Tracing greatly differs from normal Projection in the fact that not only does it reproduce the shape and substance of an object, but also its entire history as well. Objects created with tracing are slightly inferior due to the fact that only so much information can be gathered by sight alone. Objects need to be seen directly in order to be traced, as even with a blueprint and materials it can not be traced. Objects seen through shared memories, such as through spells or time travel can also be traced.
Felix mentally divide the process of Tracing into seven steps, which
include:
1. Judging the concept of creation
2. Hypothesizing the basic structure
3. Duplicating the composition material
4. Imitating the skill of its making
5. Sympathizing with the experience of its growth
6. Reproducing the accumulated years
7. Excelling every manufacturing process
Due to the extra effort, it is possible to produce incredibly stable ordinary items that can remain in the world for hours after their creation. Furthermore, whenever replicating mystical objects such as magic items (NOTE:THIS IS PURE FLUFF THIS DOES NOT MEAN I CAN COPY MAGIC ITEMS UNTIL MUCH LATER INTO MY CAREER) it is possible to faithfully copy their special abilities and any skill that its owner performed are available for use. The reason this is possible is due to the nature of Unlimited Blade Works, which at a glance, records the history, composition, and design of what the user sees, and then provides the necessary materials needed to reproduce them. The actual reproduction happens within Unlimited Blade Works, and is then brought into the real world at need via Projection. If the image of the projection is interrupted in any way, the item will be physically weak and shatter upon physical impact.
Special note: yes this guy is based on Archer for he was an bad-ass and I would like to play him....
Reason to become a Pirate:
it simple if you cant beat them join them. the life of a pirate would change things but I will kill many to save many....
Sword Play:
Kanshou and Bakuya are "married" twin swords representing yin and yang. They are identical in shape with the only difference being their color. Kanshou, the black Yang sword, is covered in a hexagonal pattern, and Bakuya, the white Yin sword, has less of the shine of a polished metal in its ore than it has the haze of a cloud.
the actual style in question is the true meaning behind the words has nothing to do with the ideology behind the creation of the swords, but rather the foundations of his swordsmanship. It also represents Crane Wing Three Chains.
a strategy that is the cumulation of Felix's use of the swords, the true meaning behind them, using three consecutive pairs traced ahead of time and the pair of swords' attraction to each other to deliver a fatal attack by projecting them when necessary. The main usage of the attacks is three consecutive X-shaped strikes...
Spirit and technique, flawless and firm
Our strength rips the mountains
Our swords split the water
Our names reach the imperial villa
The two of us cannot hold heavens together
—Two great men, sharing a life.
