When the young Hyur was of appropriate age he began his training as a swordsman under his new families tutelage, brandishing blade with astonishing aptitude and potential. Vhalken often displayed notable measures of overpowering passion during his efforts to overcome obstacles and improve himself with each passing day, further intriguing the Oraguille family, and as such embracing Vhalken as one of their own with little reluctance. As Vhalken grew, he came to demonstrate a strong sense of justice and morality, holding to these ideals with passionate zeal and devotion. He now strides the world of Eorzea with a vigorous step, his honor and irrefutable skills as a swordsman ultimately defining him, establishing his ideals of heroics and mortality as the most recognizable traits he conveys.

Vhalken Sven Leingod

Vhalken is a tall man with a broad and muscled frame, arraying the body of a trained soldier that would most certainly make his ancestors of Ala Mhigo proud. Hardy and resilient, he exhibited a physique chiseled and defined by battle and daring feats, striding throughout the world of Eorzea with pride and confidence. His posture remained sharp and disciplined, his shoulders straight and upright in his vigorous pursuit. The intensity of his sky eyes spoke of his search for purpose and companionship, a tale of insurmountable honor and bloody steel, yet compassion and kindness also emitted from his gaze, the lighthearted nature of his demeanor never ceasing to reveal itself from behind the guise of his warrior like exterior. Vhalken’s appearence remained an exotic sight indeed due to the heritage bestowed upon him at birth. His mother emerged from Midlander origin, and his father boasting from Highlander ancestry. Because of this Vhalken is usually mistaken for a physically large Midlander, his tanned features indicating more boyish characteristics that most Highlander men are not accustomed to. Despite his assorted blood, Vhalken wears it like a badge of honor and pride, embracing within his heart the best of both worlds of Hyur, a paragon of their influential presence and undeniable potential.

Vhalken armed with his signature greatsword, Animus.

Combat:

"Thy reckless abandon at the expense of thine own aether.. Animus? Could thou truly utilize the blade as a conduit, the blemish that tholes you so. Ifsoever you lose control and become this… aether grease’d fist that burst through reality. Let none come ‘twixt us, aye, I will cut you down. Not fain’d am I in such revelations, but… with the love we share, I could not let ye becometh that which you seek to defend against." - Galaihaurat Oraguille

Vhalken's fighting style relies on his vast array of techniques to keep his opponent on their toes and guessing. He utilizes Animus, a monumental greatsword reaching 7 feet in length. Harnessing its vast width of steel like an extension of his body, Vhalken trounces his enemies with overpowering force and artistry, demonstrating mastery of swordsmanship that exemplifies elegance with raw power. When held in front of him, the fuller of his great third arm is broad enough to act as a shield, employing the colossal blade defensively against projectiles and other melee blows. With a single swing of Animus, Vhalken can cut through enemies wearing heavy armor, arraying his sheer ferocity on the field of battle in a symphony of raw iron and steel, sweeping and cleaving Animus like a windmill of mayhem until immobilizing his foes into submission. Despite the sheer power behind his swordsmanship, Vhalken is generally slow and highly dependent on momentum and distance to utilize Animus to its greatest potential. Each sweep and lunge of the mighty blade ushers forth a grand velocity and force that bears down upon his foes with an unstoppable might. However, Animus' onslaught is at its most vulnerable when building its momentum, susceptible to quick ripostes and dodges to stop the avalanche of force before it even begins.

Behavior:

Vhalken has a high sense of honor, and due to his youth, he can be over-bearing, and act out irrationally during events or times of conflict. Though his tenacity is admired, the resolve he conveyed within himself was often exploited. Exceedingly bold and pigheaded, he often takes risks despite the odds, but because of this he has demonstrated several heroic feats in his existence. Many view his tendencies as insanity, believing him to be a foolish young man who was simply throwing his life away on a whim for the sake of heroics. Coupled with his passion was a burning desire, an ambition of heart and fervor.

Passionately honorable, Vhalken demonstrates his tenacity and will to persevere with a single swing of his sword, an exemplar of resolve and irrefutable spirit. He values honor above all else, and as such he goes to great lengths to keep that honor intact without compromise. Ishgards influence burns within his very core like a stoked flame, bearing a strong sense of justice and morality that he followes with great devotion and unwavering vigor.
