Sable Cyrian

A bold and adventurous Lucario born in a small village high in the San Juan mountains of Colorado. Coming from a big family, Sable values the connections he’s made with the world and his family above all, and has a strong desire to help out any in need, regardless of the danger. So it goes that, when he gets a letter teasing him of the promise of meeting a lost member of his family in Peregrine, you know he’s taking the first flight that he can...

Appearance
Sable is a Lucario like any other, sharp red eyes surrounded by black leathers and blue fur adorning his jackal-shaped head and doggo arms, his rather pointed tail and THICC leggings. Black pawbs, too, and you can’t forget those things that can best be described as ‘feelers’. Spikes on his chest and handpaws, too, can’t forget those! The biggest difference among others comes in the various scars adorning his body, a rather nasty one being on his left leg. Other notable difference being the cream white fur of his chest, as opposed to a light yellow color.

Attire
I stand by my reasoning that those shorts are actually shorts, but that Lucarios are just that thicc. That ASIDE...

Personality
Sable is incredibly bold, the teachings of his dad and begging of his brother being the only things that have humbled him into believing that charging head-first unprepared can be a detriment...which he forgets sometimes, in heated moments. While he is known to be forgetful and is a bit bad with names, he’s rather good at listening and understanding the feelings of others...yes, aura powers being a big help in that factor. When not charging into reckless activities, he tends to use that energy towards other physical endeavors, looking at his life from a very glass-half-full degree. A lot of people describe him as acting like a dog! They’re not wrong.

Drives and Obstacles
Goal(s): Discover his long-lost Uncle, who’s been living in Peregrine.

Motivations: If there’s more family he can be connected to, then he’ll jump at the chance to meet them...

Obstacles: The letter he got was vague on details, and Sable is nowhere close to accustomed to city life...

Affiliations

 * None: “I mean, I’m part of the Rock Climbers Association of Colorado...but that didn’t seem like the kind of Affiliations you wanted on my Resume, so I left it off.”

Romance

 * Single

Family

 * Zack Cyrian: A calm, stoic Lucario who likes to meditate, and works a job at the town’s local tavern as a barkeep. He’s very attentive and, as you can imagine, willing to listen to his family’s problems just the same as any customer. While not as physically active as his son, Sable, he still knows enough about his hobby to help him out with any safety tips, or advice for the trail.


 * Aurora Cyrian: A sweet, caring Lucario, Aura (as her name is so oft shortened to) has a passion for cooking, and makes sure to keep her family well-fed. She’s not quite as involved in Sable’s hobbies as his dad or brother, but does help him coordinate his daily schedule. She took his leaving to Peregrine the hardest of the family, understandably, and is making sure to call him any chance he’s free for one.


 * Clifford Cyrian: Sable’s closest brother and friend, Clifford is a bit more shy and reserved than his older brother, though the two seem to share an energetic passion in their pursuits. While he’d much rather be in a kitchen or behind a counter whipping up any kind of cookies or cocktail than on the sheer cliffside of an imposing mountain, it doesn’t stop the Lucario from endulging Sable’s interests, and Sable has at times shown interest in his. And, of course, they have a number of others they share, too, such as interest in swords and various games. So close are they that Cliff even considered traveling to Peregrine with Sable...but he feels he’s needed here.


 * Plum Cyrian: Plum, named so due to a somewhat lavender fur coloration, is...well, a bit of a brat and drama queen at worst, flaunty and charming at best. Sable finds her endearing and has taken her on hiking trips, even saying on multiple occasions that he’d take her climbing with him when she gets older...she’d much rather stick at home and try on different fashions, but Sable doesn’t fault her for that. Even with these differences, the two love eachother much the same.

Friends and Foes
Friends:
 * Gallahad Ruppel: A Gallade who’s mother is a close friend of Zack’s, and grew up quite close with the Cyrians. Sable looks up to him as both a close friend and mentor figure, learning most of his dual sword techniques from him.

Allies:
 * None, yet!:

Frenemies:
 * Nada!:

Enemies:
 * Pretty sure he has none.:

Acquired/Learned Abilities

 * Monk’s Unarmored Defence: Putting some training into Martial Arts, Sable has managed to hone his body by just a little more. When not wearing armor, Sable’s AC is 10 + DEX + WIS.


 * Tough: Climbing such rigid rock structures, or fending off wild creaturesyou learn how to take a hit. Sable gains 2 extra hits points on every level after he’s learned this skill, which was level 4.


 * Aura Blades: Due to a large degree of sword training, Sable has honed his aura to manifest in his palms as sharpened aura in the shape of short blades. He’s able to target someone within melee range, making a hit roll with a modifier of STR and short sword proficiency, and deal damage of 1d6 with a STR modifier. He can summon or de-summon them as a bonus action.


 * Steadfast: Sable has advantage on saving throws against being frightened.


 * Natural Explorer: As something close to a Ranger, Sable has his own Favored Terrain, which includes Mountains and Forests. When he makes an Intelligence or Wisdom check related to his Favored terrain, his Proficiency Bonus is doubled if he is using a skill that he’s proficient in.

It also comes with the usual benefits Rangers get when traveling in their preferred terrain, which includes: not slowing his group’s travel, not becoming lost unless through magical means, always being alert to danger even when engages with other activities while traveling, being able to move stealthily at a normal pace when travling alone, finding twice as much food as normal when foraging, and when tracking other creatures he learns their exact number, their sizes, and how long ago they passed through the area.


 * Dragon Lore: Basically favored enemy, if the enemy wasn’t actually something you were trying to hunt. Sable appears to have a fondness for dragons, and as such can recount various factoids about them with ease. He has advantage on Intelligence checks to recall information about them.

Skills

 * Close Combat: He IS a fighting type, after all, which means proficiency in making unarmed strikes! On hit, he deals 1d4 bludgeoning damage + his STR modifier.


 * Aura Sphere: It should come as no surprise that Sable can perform this maneuver. When performing this move, Sable rolls a ranged attack against a target within 30ft using his Wisdom Modifier. The attack deals 1d6 force damage and gains a damage dice at 6th, 11th, and 17th level.


 * Extreme Speed: When Sable uses his action to Dash, he can use a bonus action to make one melee weapon attack or to shove a creature. If he moves at least 10 feet in a straight line immediately before taking this bonus action, he either gains a +5 bonus to the attack’s damage roll (if he chooses to make a melee attack and hit) or push the target up to 10 feet away from him (if you chose to shove and you succeed). Sable can only perform this move once per short rest.


 * Heal Pulse: When using this move, any creature Sable touches regains 1d8 health plus his WIS modifier. He can only perform this move once per short rest.


 * Aura Sense: As a Lucario, Sable is well-tuned to the Aura of all living creatures. He can accurately see creatures that are invisible or illusioned within 60 feet, unless he is blinded, deafened or incapacitated. This aura sense also allows him to sense the intentions of others, which gives him advantage on Insight Rolls.


 * Hard Man: Sable has resistance against bludgeoning damage.


 * General Skills: Sable’s certainly the guy With the skills. He has advantage on Nature, Survival, Perception, Athletics, and Insight checks!

Weaknesses

 * He Hungers: Due to having such a strong appetite, Sable requires twice as many rations as usual.


 * Dog Whistle: While his good sense of hearling lends him to be more perceptible of sounds, that means LOUD sounds tend to set him off. He has disadvantage on saving rolls that involve loud sounds.


 * %#@&ing Magnets, How Do They Work?: Do to his body’s metal-esque composition, magnetic moves can either attract or repel him up to 10ft. away, and moving against it is considered difficult terrain.

Biography
Sable was born into the family of Mr. and Mrs. Cyrian on April 16, 1999 in the town of Levilly, Colorado, A high-altitude, small town located in the San Juan Mountains. As the oldest of three children, he had a rather crowded home life and just as crowded a social life, the two oft overlapping. Clifford, being only a few years younger, was always the anchor to his wilder antics, and while Plum was someone he had to adjust to the introduction of in his family, he considers her and the time he’s spend with her as precious.

Even as a small Riolu, Sable always had an urge to explore his surroundings. Whether it be through small crevices, climbing around the mountain they lived on or simply exploring any unmarked cave systems, the bundle of energy relished in it, and even tried convincing Clifford to come along a few times. Of course, he had been prone to a nasty fall or two, and oft worried the rest of his family with his reckless nature. He would later take measures to be more careful, with help from his dad, and that spark of joy never left him.

Cliff’s ideas of fun had always been a bit less thrilling to him, though he’d never deny that gaming was a fun pasttime. That said, there was one other cool one Sable always came back to, and that was swords. Maybe going hand-in-hand with his desire to explore, he wanted to learn to use swords like ‘all the cool heroes do’. He and Cliff would pretend sword fight using plastic swords. Sable, a set of dual swords, and Cliff with a sword and shield. This...also ended with bruises sometimes, though never anything severe. Eventually Sable would take to practicing with another sword hopeful, Gallahad, a Kirlia who was close family friend of the Cyrians and a young man whom Sable looked up towards. He evolved into a Gallade around the same time Sable evolved into a Lucario, so it only made sense the two’s practicing would soon turn to serious training sessions.

As he reached the age of 16, Sable decided he wanted to channel his passion for exploring and helping others into becoming a park ranger and perhaps even a professional rock climber. His family was very supportive of the choice, as he continued to focus honing his physical capabilities through further climbing, swordfighting and a passive interest in Martial Arts. He also took a long look into the history of the area he lived in, combining that with the knowledge of safer paths that he knew and took by heart all his years. He did get a job doing it, by the next year, and so that’s how his life was...for a while.

A few weeks ago, Sable had received a strange letter in the mail. No sender name, or one he couldn’t recognize, but a clear address, located somewhere in Peregrine. It said...that it ‘knew where he could find the scraps of a family he didn’t know,’ and that ‘You should come meet your dear uncle over in Peregrine to talk about it’. Confused, he showed it to his dad, who looked...rather pale. He said nothing good would come of it and to forget it, and move on...Sable couldn’t. He got himself ready to leave, said his goodbyes to his family, and his father left him with sage advice, and with that...he was off. In search of this mysterious uncle, and those that could help him...
