Mental Information
Species Abilities and Limitations
Enhanced Physiology (Ability) - Captain Swan's physically ability has been magically enhanced over other humans, however this increase is minor. He is slightly faster, stronger and more agile then he should be for his size and build. This doesn't have much of an impact on its own, but when combined with his experience is can make a difference in dangerous situations. Mundane humans who have superior training or skill could still easily beat him.
Air Elemental Manipulation (Ability) - Captain Swan is capable of magically manipulating the element of air. This allows him to create and alter wind in useful ways. The manipulation must be channelled through related movements of his body. For example he could create a sudden razor edge of wind with the swing of an arm, or object (normally sword), he could also use swimming motions to help himself glide during a free fall. The manipulation has it limits, while it could be used to glide or improve a leap, it could not be used to fly or completely stop a fall.
Earth Elemental Weakness (Limitation) - Captain Swan ability to manipulate wind and air is counted by that of the earth. Failing to work, or stopping working upon contact with natural ground such as soil, sand or mud. Soil, sand, salt or mud or other kinds of material could be used to counteract it effect. Causing such created winds to vanish if thrown. This weakness doesn't extend to hard ground, such as solid rock or processed material such as concrete or tarmac. Lastly his power does not effect on any kind of earth elemental creatures, even those made of material that would not normally cause his power to stop working.
Biography
Shawn Swan comes from another world that has both high magic, and high technology. That combines the two together. However the technology was a new thing, something that only started come forth a few years before his birth. This sudden change from a purely magically dependent society, to one embracing strange new technology eventually lead to wars. It was during this time of war, that Shawn was born and it was also during these time that his father died. That war eventually led to the founding of a new empire across the world. An empire that embraced the oversight and control that technology provided. Using their might they started to try and force the abandonment of magic by the general populous. So that they had even greater control over the world. However some people refused, these rebels spreed far and wide.
Many years later, as an adult Shawn joined the crew of a sky-pirate ship known as 'The Crane', these pirates were affiliated with the rebels. Stealing from the empire. Even 'The Crane' itself was a modified ship stolen from the empire years prior. During an exception dangerous raid, 'The Crane' encounter multiple Imperial Sky Ships. The current captain was killed, and Shawn was gravely injured losing his eye in the process. However somehow the ship managed to escape and met up with a small rebel group. Among this rebel group was a mage, this mage was the one who ended up saving Shawn's life. Fusing his body with a magical creature he had summoned in order to give him the strength to pull through. An Air Elemental. Once 'The Crane' had been repaired, and Shawn had recovered. The crew of the ship had decided themselves that Shawn should be their new captain. The advantage of a sky-pirate with the ability to manipulate the winds and air, made him seem like an obvious choice. The next few years, the crew would return to what they had always done. Raiding imperial targets to fund the rebels and make a tidy profit at the same time. Becoming a huge thorn in the empires side.
Eventually the empire had grown tired of the actions of Shawn and his crew. Taking drastic action, they decided to release and hired mercenary and killer by the name of Ethan Reign. To track down Shawn and assassinate him in return for his freedom. There eventual encounter went Shawn's way however. Skewering the mercenary, Shawn had at first intended to leave the killer for dead. Only to have a change of heart and instead take the man to the mage who years ago had saved his life. Leading to the man surviving and joining his crew instead. Just another notch on the list of those different ways he had spited the empire.
