Knight Errant

Moniker: Epeiste (wishes he could think up something better frankly)
Secret Identity: Rene d'Etoile
Age: 21
Gender: male
Species: Human (enhanced by the powers of the sword)

Superpowers:
*StarSabre Usage: Rene is the only person on Earth currently capable of wielding the legendary weapon known as the Starsabre, a mystical energy weapon said to be from another world, the Starsabre has been passed down from hero to hero for over a millennia now. Its symbiosis with Edmond is the source of the following abilities.
* Portal Creation: By slashing his weapon, Edmond is capable of 'tearing' a stable hole in space and time, effectively creating a portal through which he and others can travel
*Enhanced physicality: When wielding the StarSabre Edmond's speed, reflexes and agility are greatly enhanced, allowing him to reach speeds similar to a motorcycle and evade small arms fire.
*Sword Beam: The Starsabre can project damaging energy blasts and beams basically
*Weapon Summoning: If separated from his blade, Edmond can summon it to his hand with a simple gesture, at which point it will attempt to hurtle towards him, this can be stopped though


Super weaknesses: As a downside of possessing the Starsabre, villains and monsters tend to flock to him by the boatload.
Skills: Masterful grasp of Swordsmanship and Fencing, knife throwing, Well versed in hand to hand combat (fights in a style similar to savate), Parkour/ Acrobatics, tracking, solid knowledge of the occult, Persuasion (for such a blatant ass he's rather charming), Costume Design/ Sowing (it's a practical skill), versed in the banishment of demons and monsters and such, bilingual (English and French), Really good at tennis (like scary good)

Your secret base: The Scabbard (A mystical area he can teleport to through his portals that's basically his little base of operations, however, it ceases to exist every time he leaves)

Appearance: Edmond is a bit taller than average, with a slender long-legged build that is strengthened by firm toned muscle earned through constant training. This mixed with his olive-skinned Mediterranean look has resulted in him being quite easy on the eyes. His smooth skin is warm olive, hair a deep rich black that forms in messy wavy curls reaching his neck. His deep-set eyes are a striking sea-spray blue, crested by long dark lashes and a noticeable set of brows. Cheekbones borrowed from a marble statue, full heart-shaped lips, and button nose tie together his ' elegant pretty boy' look excellently. Combined with a million-dollar smile and the entrancing Parisian lilt to his voice, let's just say there's a reason he thinks he's hot shit.

Costume design: A form-fitting armor suit (in death-stroke fashion). The color scheme is dark blue along most of the torso, arms and legs, broken up by black scale mail along the midriff, along the side of each leg, and arms below the elbows. The borders between the blue and the white are marked by bright white trim, that matches with his boots, gauntlets, shoulder pads, scarf, domino mask, and utility rig. He wears his sword strapped across his back. Along with his domino mask, he has a  white mouth mask that is reminiscent of a knights visor.

Equipment(includes vehicles):

*The Starsabre: A mystical sword with a blade made up of concentrated mystical energy, this blade can cut through damn near anything, and is completely unbreakable. As it's appearance changes from user to user, the blade has no historically consistent look. In the current era it takes on the look of a hand-and-a-half sword with a black crystalline hilt design, V-shaped handguard, angular 'U' shaped pommel fixed with a blue glowing gem, and a blade made of solidified electric blue mystical energy.
* Foldable white telescope
*Utility rig fitted with pouches, it's like two bandoliers attached to a belt.
* Smoke and stun bombs
* Mystical throwing knives


Bio(hit us with that tragic origin story !): As far as he can remember, Rene d'Etoile, has been training to become a hero. Ever since The Order of Iron (An occult order founded to train the users of the Starsabre) took him from his parents so many years ago. Since before he could stand he was shown the path that was laid out for him, the trials that awaited him, the power he would inherit. He was no ordinary boy they'd tell him over and over, for his fate was tied into that of the sword. The Starsabre, a mystical blade with unknown origins and fantastic power. The weapon of legendary heroes, that granted great power and brought on great danger, and he was to be its next wielder. There was no choice in the matter either, the sword had chosen him, and to the Order of Iron that was enough. His youth was to be spent training in The Crucible, isolated from the world and from ordinary life, preparing for the mantle he'd had forced upon him. Now, years later, his training is finally over, and the young man was ready to go out into the world and become the hero he's always been destined to be. A noble paladin of light and virtue, out to bring justice to the world...but the Order seemed to forget one thing. When you tell someone their whole life that they're oh so special, that they're the bearer of a grand destiny, that they're the hero, the superstar, the man in the spotlight..they're gonna have a bit of an ego.

Now finally free of his training, and experiencing the outside world in its fullness for the first time, Rene wasn't content with just being a hero, he wanted the fame that comes with it. After a bit of wandering around the French Countryside, kicking the shit out of criminals with his magic sword, he realized the best way to do so was to become a superhero. After all, superheroes had worldwide exposure, fan clubs, and those delicious delicious merchandising rights. So like so many others in search of cash fame and adventure, he made his way over to the states, the superhero capital of the world. Not like this superhero thing can be too hard anyway no? It is his destiny, after all, might as well make a little cash off of it.
