Occida

Summary
Occida is a male humanoid who bears a striking resemblance to a neko - his upper ears and tail, however, occasionally seem phantasmal and ghostly. He is one of the newer Certified Warriors and is notably talented in many aspects of combat and rescuing.

Story
Born into relative nobility, Occida was given many privileges but quickly grew bored of the life of a court noble, instead turning to a life of adventuring. His many travels and experiences honed his skills, and along the way he heard stories of the Warriors and their courageous deeds. With a wish for community and an itch for danger, he tracked down and joined forces with the Warriors.

Personality
Occida is usually seen as pleasant, and is often seen as reliable in times of action - especially if a friend or ally is involved. He sees boredom as his greatest enemy and does whatever he can to stave it off, leading him to be very twitchy and constantly ready for action. Despite this, sometimes Occida can be seen as quiet and distant, often finding it very difficult to trust new people. He also occasionally sinks into bouts of skulking and paranoia. His simultaneous lack of trust and general charisma can come off as cute to some people, devious to others, and to few, even dangerous.

Combat Capabilities
Occida is no stranger to combat - and he has a variety of ways of dealing with any hostile situation. His fighting style is like that of a rogue - he prefers to operate with pinpoint precision in his strikes and take down targets quickly. If he is caught outside of stealth, he will often attempt to blitz the enemy.

Physical Capabilities
While being notably nimble and even acrobatic, Occida has slightly above average strength. Due to his Half-Voidling nature, he also has heightened senses overall (hearing, sensing temperature) and can notably see in the dark.

Weapons
Occida carries three distinct one-handed weapons, and often uses them two at a time in various combinations.

Sidechain
His largest and most defining weapon, Sidechain is a one-handed scimitar with a glossy black, almost obsidian-esque blade with a dark, purplish trim. Notably, audio visualizations in the form of bars nearly identical to the ones found on his glasses will appear lining the blunt side of the blade while he is listening to a song. The guard that Sidechain has is a much more matted black color, while its grip is white and has purple stripes.

Umbros
Occida's most commonly used weapon is Umbros, a relatively ancient straight-dagger with a midnight blue blade. Found during one of his favorite adventuring quests, Umbros is said to be able to pierce through any material.

Modified Gauss Pistol
The final weapon in the purple-haired Warrior's arsenal is his sidearm of questionable origin. Modeled extremely similarly to the FN Five-Seven, the only notable feature of this pistol at a glance are the ventings on the side of the gun, which glow a bright purple when firing. However, this pistol provides two different modes of firing. The first mode dispenses 9mm rounds with a standard magazine size of 20, acting like the weapon it disguises itself as. With the flip of a hidden switch along the bottom of the barrel, the front of the weapon opens horizontally, exposing a hidden barrel that can dispense high-velocity Gauss energy. This seemingly alien technology allows the temporary pulse of a bright green laser that corrodes any material that it strikes, ripping it apart on the atomic level. This alternative mode of fire takes no fewer than 2 minutes to fully charge and recharge, and if used too often may cause the weapon to overheat and burn its user.

The Rhythm
Occida has the ability to tap into the rhythm of the universe and the narrative itself. Whenever the universe/narrative initiates a song, Occida can choose to "sync" himself up with the song. If he chooses to do so, Sidechain as well as his glasses will create visualizations based on that song, and Occida himself will gain a variety of benefits: It is worth mentioning that Occida himself cannot choose when The Rhythm occurs - he can only choose to sync himself if the universe chooses to begin a song.
 * His attacks, especially with Sidechain, gain increased force.
 * Based on the tone of the song, or the instruments being used in it, he can use various different types of elemental magic to cast spells, absorb attacks of that type, or enchant his sword. For example, a song with heavy amounts of synth would allow him to cast, absorb, or imbue Sidechain with lightning magic, and for heavy amounts of percussion Occida might use earth-based magic.
 * He will take actions based on the speed, or BPM of the song, including attacking, defending, or repositioning.
 * Other magics that might alter the narrative or reality itself, such as Ethan76167's ability to script the world, will fail during the effects of The Rhythm.

Weaknesses
Despite being efficient in combat, Occida tends to wear himself out quickly - in sustained combat, and without the aid of multiple occurrences of The Rhythm, he will overexert himself in an attempt to end the fight quickly. He is relatively light and not impressively strong as well, allowing him to be overpowered by stronger, more imposing foes. This is mainly applicable if he is caught out without any of his weapons, as all of them are extremely powerful, and Occida is not trained in unarmed combat.

Mentally, Occida is very feeble and weak. His tendency to skulk comes from always being on edge and worried, and after stressful confrontations he is known to hide for a period of time. Some theorize that Occida is prone to suffering from shell shock, which would make him more likely to isolate himself.

Especially weak to head pats.

Relationships
While not specifically related, stories of Occida's travels and triumphs have spread between many people, and thus he can be recognized at a glance by a good number of people - Warriors or otherwise.

The Warrior closest to Occida is WinterDAWolfie, who occasionally can rouse him from his reclusive bouts.
