Haze: A green mist that covers a 60x60ft area. Disguises user from all forms of sight. User can see through mist. Backstory: A monk of the great Snake God Tyal, he follows the lessons very closely. Life is meaningless. This does not mean, however, that one's life must not be full of wonder and enjoyment. Tyal is a God- in a sense- but not all powerful. He is the God of poison, not creation. As such, his presence should not be preached to the masses, but rather the select few willing to listen to the silver tongued words of his followers. Life may be meaningless, but that does not mean it is not precious. Use powers carefully. Lies are acceptable- if only for the sake of Tyal. Use them sparingly. Tyrian has lived this way his entire life, the ancient monks finally coming out from the uncharted islands after years of being hidden. Legend said the islands contained unimaginable wealth- and the followers protect it. It is obvious by the amount of coin Tyrian carries. [spoiler]Will be updated as training in dojo continues.
