Blade

Introduction
"There is something I must do... a deed that must be done. You... you don't have any idea how it feels to have something very precious taken from you..."

-Blade talking to Corey

Desmond Talbain is Corey's older brother and bounty hunter. His mastery in the sword is only rivaled by a very few. He is known to the world as Blade.

Appearance
Blade wears white plated combat armor with a mask covering his face. He wears black poofy pants with white armored sabatoons. He has a athletic physique with silver, long hair. Underneath his mask is a handsome, yet veteran face that closely resembles his father. He had recieved a scar that goes diagonal across his face.

Personality
Outside and known by his former comrades in the revolutionary army, he was cold, hatefull, and very mature, not taking a joke at all. But to his fellow companions and Corey, he is warm, generous, and also well mannered. In combat, all he cares about is survival, but will fight honorably.

Swordsman
Blade has incredible mastery of the sword. Many people even say that he is a child prodigy. He uses accruate, clean cuts that would even make the experienced on their toes.

Fighting Style (Sword)
Blade's fighting style consists of quick, deadly strikes that damage vital organs and pressure points of his opponents. It is a combination of that of Himura Kenshi (Rounin Kenshin), Saito (Rounin Kenshin), and Hakumen (BlazBlue series).

Kenbunshoku Haki
Blade shows supreme mastery of this haki. He can sense up to ten miles away, and can predict ten minutes into the future.

Busoshoku Haki
Blade is also very excellent in this haki. He uses it for more of a defensive purpose rather then an offensive purpose, forging armor to protect himself.

Speed
Blade has very incredible speed. Only a few people can outmatch him in speed (Kizaru, Nova Blade...) He also has superior reflexes that is only rivaled by his younger brother Corey.

Strength
Blade's strength is above average, but not incredible like other people's. However, he can lift a whole building and throw it with great force. He could even shatter the hardest materials such as Adam Wood and Titanium.

Endurance
Blade's battles as a Revolutionary has toughened him in combat. He can fight for five days straight before he passed out of exhaustion.

Rokushiki
Blade is one of the few members that had mastered every single last one when he was a marine. He casually uses Soru and Geppou as evasive manuvers. He would only resort to the other four if he had to.

Soul Trigger
Blade, like his younger brother, is blessed with this ability. His strength, endurance, and speed are greatly enhanced in this mode, even more than Corey Talbain himself. He first discovered it at a very young age, thanks to his father training him.
