Basic Info

A migrant by trade, Flynt doesn't have much purpose nor set goals, he simply seeks the thrill of being an adventurer. Though he likes to make a name for himself in and around Thanalan, his magnum opus being able to successfully infiltrate and seize a Reaper-Class Magitek armor from Canstrum Centri, donned in an Imperial Shadow disguise. He may be a showboater in the end, but it doesn't mean he isn't any short of a formidable combatant.

Alignment

True Neutral, Flynt doesn't believe in petty wars over pointless matters, but will heel-turn his allegiance for the right price.

Abilities and Skills

Personal

• Augus/Augus XLR: Two mechanical companions, the minor being a storage-based miniature Vanguard servant, the XLR model being the recalibrated Reaper.
• A rope: Why a rope? You never know when you'll need a rope. Don't ask questions.
• Insulting Inspiration: Flynt's quips finally get to you, awakening a fiery passion to shut him up. (Portrayed with Goad)

Weapons

• Solus & Galvus: Two rather heavy machetes used for large game and heavy armor. (Portrayed as Flame Lieutenant's Machetes)
• Airghet & Lahm: A pair of collapsible hunting knives, far more lightweight and lacking in stopping power, used for skinning and utility. (Portrayed as Misericordes)
• Duo Rex Angelus: Two stiletto daggers that lack an edge, they are used to "conduct" Flynt's Negative Rainbow artificial Jutsu system. (Portrayed as Garuda's Plumes, stretches canon, but my best bet of giving the magically inept Flynt use of IC mudras)

Magic

• Flynt is unable to conduct aether naturally.
• The Negative Rainbow: An artificial set of aethric charges to compensate his inability to conduct magic (Or in this case, ninjutsus).

Limit Breaks

• LVL 3: Ultranegative Rainbow: A pure test of his luck; Flynt discharges all excess aether through one blade, forming an overcharged transfer of energy. Devastating when connected, however will severely injure Flynt if there is no target for the to blade connect to.

• LVL 2: Shooting Star: Flynt adjusts himself for a final volley of Raitons, unloading his weapon until the target has the consistency of swiss cheese.

• LVL 1: Rabbit Punch: The dirtiest of moves, Flynt strikes the back of the neck with a fell swoop, anthropomorphic victims may suffer whiplash, if not a broken spine.

History

Name and Lifestyle

Nicknames

• The Iron Hyena: Given to him by the Immortal Flames as just "The Hyena" from his unusually jovial outlook on actual danger and habit of donning looted clothing from the recently deceased. Flynt added the "iron" adjective to make himself sound more appealing. (His uncleanliness may or may not also be a factor).

• The Brat Prince: A name not often brought up but still noteworthy, Flynt achieved this title from Ul'Dahn locals. It simply illustrates how self-centered he actually is, valuing his ego over another person's well-being.

• Ol' Trusty Flynt: An alias, however he is anything but. Coined by himself to, yet again, sound more appealing.
