Personality: He is a normally friendly and amiable person, but he bears a hot-blooded streak that makes him competitive, as well as an almost violent passion when it comes to protecting those he cares about. He is otherwise laid back most of the time. He may seem somewhat self-centered at times, but he bears compassion towards all living things and will not let innocents be hurt for no reason. He refuses to kill unless it is absolutely necessary for the safety of himself or others, despite his attacks that could be described as seemingly lethal at any point.

This ability’s effectiveness returns to full after the battle.

History -
Sutiiven is a young eighteen-year-old Swordsman. However, he is technically more of a Freelancer than anything, as he runs his life according to his own rules, not specifically following anything other than his own heart. He also prides himself as an Adventurer who loves nothing more than a good quest to go on - especially if those quests involve some form of treasure. Money isn't everything to him, however, so he is willing to do things for the good of others without profit. He believes this free spirited nature to be an asset in his travels, and believes that he is a better person for it.
- The Beginning -
Sutiiven was born on the outskirts of Latent, east of what is now Isle de Gambino and north of Aekea. Soon after his birth, an oracle predicted that he should one day become a legendary hero and swordsman – a chosen one, of sorts. His father, uncomfortable with the idea that his son should be a better warrior than him without even trying, left his family in attempt to become unbeatable. To this day, Sutii still has a hard time speaking of the father who never cared for him. Sutiiven was only three when his family received word that his father had been killed in combat across the sea. Due to Sutii's mother's fear of him befalling the same fate, she forbade him to take up training.
But destiny would not allow for his training to be postponed forever, and eventually he was allowed to begin his training at the age of fourteen. He was a quick learner, despite his age, and by sixteen he was already creating his own custom sword and martial arts style. This was also the time where he received the nickname, "Sutiiven," the mispronunciation of his name by one of his fellow students. After finishing his main professional training in an astonishingly short three years, Sutiiven felt the pull of adventure calling him, and set out on his own.
- First Adventures -
Ironically, his first adventure lead to disaster, as the ship he was on sank in a storm. Waking up on the beach with a significant head injury, he traveled to a nearby town where he got medical attention and managed to remember his name, but nothing about his past nor his family. He soon learnt that he was in Barton Town, and that he had somehow managed to float to the Barton Coast in tact. Later, he would come to thank his training for his survival, as his body would have never been able to handle such abuse before he took it up.
When he well enough to travel safely, he wandered through the forests near Barton for a few days until he discovered a Ninja Treehouse - the home of Reiiji, the Ninja Kitty. After multiple weeks of Reiiji believing that Sutii was an assassin sent to kill him, the two became fast friends. Sutii and Reiiji made many bars and businesses as partners, occasionally even going on adventures, though that remained Sutii's passion as opposed to Reii's more laidback philosophy. The bar experiences allowed Sutii to make many friends and acquaintances, such as Rayce Sprydiah the Water Nymph, Alex Hunter the self proclaimed "Psycho b***h", and many more of Reiiji's friends. Eventually his travels and exploits led him to meet Sukiiko, a young girl claming to be related to him. Through countless hours of explanation and memory recovery techniques, the young healer recently helped him remember his past. After he had fully recovered, he set out on his way, seeking another adventure.
- Leviathan Stadium and Heaven or Hell 2007 -
His first major event was his joining of Leviathan Stadium and entry into Heaven or Hell 2007. The tournament enabled him to train himself harder and better until he and the other three competitors of Team Dragonforce (named such for each of their draconic backgrounds.) On the day of their first match, they faced off on the Great Wall of Gambino. Stacatto, the Bender, fought hard, but was no match for team Ryugin's Cris Reinheart. Up next came the Monk Shuyin, whom with his powerful abilities managed to overcome the one known as Nyako. When Sutii's turn came up, he was faced with the most powerful member of Team Ryugin: The Legendary Ryugi Kazamaru. Even having only heard his name in passing, Sutii knew of the power that stood before him. Though he fought valiantly, Ryugi's power was far too great for Sutiiven to match. During the battle, however, the dormant Draconic power within him was tapped, and through his unwillingness to give up, he unlocked the power of the Dragon within him, enabling him to survive (albeit barely) even Ryugi's Hyper Nova Flare. Through his loss, Sutiiven had gained strength.
The Double Dragons, the weapons he used for the fight, had been severely damaged through the fight, and so, after Sutiiven returned home to recover from the battle, he put them to rest so that they could regain their former glory through the slow process of natural magic regeneration. He then traveled to Aekea and took up a hammer. For days he worked, attempting to create new blades for him to use. When completed, he headed off back towards Leviathan, ready for new adventures.
- The Silver Dragon and Angara -
During the return to Leviathan, a strange force drew Sutiiven to the Dragon Continent of Angara. Upon arrival, he discovered that he was not in fact a dragon - though the blood of an ancient dragon did flow through his family's veins, it was too weak to ever truly make him a dragon. Instead, he discovered that he had been possessed by the should of a silver dragon, a creature that had been imprisoned within the alter that held the Double Dragons which Sutii had since put to rest. Able to communicate with the beast, Sutiiven discovered that the dragon's imprisonment was due to a curse by an evil black dragon, and asked for the swordsman's help in returning him to his material body. The kindly Sutii agreed. After a month of travel, including some pit stops back on the main land and Leviathan Stadium, the two bound companions found the beast they sought. In a great power struggle, the evil dragon was defeated, and the silver dragon returned to its material body. The dragon, which revealed its name to be Ornisk (a fusion of the Draconic words for “Silver” and “Star”), returned Sutiiven to the mainland, and before leaving, the creature swore a life debt to the swordsman, and thus the two became good friends and allies. Sutii returned home to practice his blacksmithing and martial arts with his old master for another month, and then set out for Leviathan Stadium once again.
- New Challengers and the Dark Kazamaru -
After his return to the stadium, Sutiiven began to receive a number of challenges, suggesting that his “street cred” was growing. The first fight came from a student of Ryugi’s, Damrius, a lightning elemental. The two fought hard and long, giving Sutiiven a chance to use his perfected Overdrive ability for the first time. The power was great, but in the end the two of them landed in a tie. Sutii and Damrius became friends afterwards, often running into each other at random times.
The second fight came from a newcomer to Gaia. Spiko Sortana, a member of a lost race, chose to fight the HoH veteran. The two fought hard, but in the end Spiko was no match for Sutiiven. However, the reason for Sutiiven’s increase in power during this battle was not revealed until the third fight.
The third fight was against Ryudo Kazamaru – the dark brother of Ryugi. Sutiiven began the fight valiantly, but was no match for the unstoppable power of Ryudo’s darkness, as well as a crushing truth revealed to the fighter. The extra power that had been attributed to Ornisk’s presence inside his body had slowly been fading, until finally, during this fateful battle, it left Sutiiven completely – he was now drawing more energy than his body could handle. After suffering a crushing defeat at the hands of the Dark Kazamaru, Sutiiven expected the worst – bit received a compliment from Ryudo himself. If not for that, Sutiiven may have not had the will to get up and return home for more training under his Master.
- Present -
His current weapons of choice are a pair silver swords crafted by himself, as well as his martial arts skills. However, he can basically handle any weapon that is wieldable by a human, a skill that his trainers, mentors, and even he is astounded by. He doesn't have any specific weaknesses, but his defenses are a little less than average, a downside of the agility oriented combat style he uses. He can also be easily beaten by his occasional bouts of cockiness that lead to dramatic (and often painful) consequences. He is usually a friendly chap, but has something of a hot-blooded streak.
Sutiiven's Hobbies include the previously stated combat and exploration, as well as bartending, gaming, gambling, sketching, eating, music and playfully harassing Reiiji. He secretly has an odd obsession with barrels. His Favorite Food is Gyoza.
Physical Description -
Sutiiven has long platinum blonde hair that goes down to about the center of his back and blue/gray eyes. He wears black long sleeved shirt beneath a red jacket. He also wears black jeans and white shoes. On his hands he wears a pair of gloves designed for hand-to hand-combat. On his back is equipped his swords.
