Faith: He doesn't appear to follow any real religion or faith, and in this regard, looks aren't particularly deceptive. He isn't spiritual in the regard that he worships deities, however he looks to deities of knowledge within any religion as inspiration and guidance. He doesn't hold a real opinion on if they exist or not; his primary focus is expansion of self-awareness.
Personality: Viktaal is a fairly friendly sort, not minding conversation and having a good time. He has a slightly tipped scale between seriousness and lightheartedness, leaning in favor of seriousness. He doesn't mind bending or breaking rules if it means it will provide for long-term benefits, such as knowledge or for defense of himself or another person. He enjoys a good hunt, marking him as the type that will actively seek out bounties. He is in partially for the rewards, but his mindset focuses more on personal growth and knowledge. He is a graduate of the Arcane Secondary Schooling, though he has further knowledge because of his studies that surpassed the schooling, albeit paralleling it in timeline.
History
Arrival to Kalg'rai
Viktaal had accidentally stumbled his way into Kalg'rai via a rift from Nu-Guardia. The rift had opened below Viktaal and he fell through it before he could react. When he had arrived, he immediately went to the nearest civilized area, which happened to be Sh'rutal. From there, he began devoting all of his spare time to studying anything and everything about Kalg'rai. He is by far not well-known within Kalg'rai, so most consider it an obsession, however Viktaal feels like an infant just learning his way through the world since he is not familiar with the plane of Kalg'rai.
Arcane Secondary SchoolingViktaal took up Arcane Magic schooling so he could further study manacrystals as well as learn more about what goes on within Kalg'rai in regards to mana and magic. As he went through the schooling, he studied on the side, and in more depth than what the schooling had to offer, as it was only a secondary schooling. It was in this time that he had taken up studying manacrystals and had created his notes within a book that he kept secret from everyone else. Successfully graduated.
Bounty: Ogre ShamanA solo, One-Star bounty that was completed via a successful "maximum replication", all six of him eradicating the Ogre Shaman with shots from his/their gunblades. The shaman was killed and the other ogres that accompanied the shaman fled. Viktaal obtained two small manacrystals from this bounty before collecting the intended rewards.
Bounty: Extraplanar PossessedWorking with Oratus and Aylin, Viktaal set out to hunt four feline creatures that resembled tigers, though were later revealed to be possessed panthers in a heavy rainstorm that was produced from the extraplanar entity possessing them. They got the jump on the felines, and the felines were successful in stopping Oratus and Aylins strongest attacks on them, however with that being said, they left themselves open for Viktaal's bullet, since he was the last to attack.
Attire*
Upper Torso:
Head:
MetalSyn HoloScouter; the device is hooked around his right ear and has a small glass edge that stops just past his eye. When the holographic screen pops up, it goes over his eye.
Shirt:
He wears a jacket with a silver/grey and icy-blue color pattern, though silvery grey is the primary color. Its sleeves reach his wrists and are loose, but the bottom edge of the coat hovered slightly above his waist. Underneath the coat, he wears an icy-blue colored T-Shirt that is loosely fitting.
Hands & Arms
Viktaal wears silvery-grey fingerless gloves that both reach halfway up his forearms. On his left arm, reaching just shy of his elbow region (it does not interfere with his arm's mobility) is an icy-blue armband with a silver crescent moon on it.
Lower Torso:
Pants:
He wears pants that seem to match the coat he wore, though parts on the pants that loosely fit around his thighs had silver plating, making his legs more fortified. The pants did, however, have tears at the knees, and the cuffs of the pants were a loose fit with the backs of the pants reaching halfway down his boots.
Shoe Wear:
Steel-toe boots that also seemed to match the design of his jacket and pants. They had rubber soles that seemed to be made to avoid slipping.

Equipment
[1]: "Manducare" and "Kentan"1, dual gunblades that have runes etched into one side of either blade. These are typically in sheathes, one at either hip.
[2]: He wears a pendant necklace that dangles just below his clavicle.2
[3]: Attached to his left thigh below the plating on his pants is a bag of limitless manacrystal ammo, specially given to him to allow him to be able to reload his gunblades.
[4]: Current amount of phi he possesses: 7,400phi
[5]: Metalsyn HoloScouter w/ microboard programmer
[6]: 1 small manacrystal
[7]: A book with his notes and spell circles concerning manacrystals. This book is "summoned" and "banished" upon will due to the spell circles on the front and back cover of the book.
[8]: A bag of limitless storage, looking like an ordinary backpack.

Abilities, Attributes and Training
Innate Attributes:
Increased speed but sacrificed strength.
Schooling:
Weaponry:
Melee: Swordplay (expertise: gunblade3)
Magics:
Arcane Magic
Untrained:4
Viktaal can create up to five other "replicas" of himself that can all move differently and all work together. Each of these replicas also has a replica of "Manducare" and "Kentan", meaning defenders will have to be wary of becoming overwhelmed by all six attackers. Note that this is more than an illusion, as these clones can take injuries like any regular person would. The only difference would be that upon a lethal strike, their bodies will slowly disappear, leaving nothing in their trace. (It is also to be charged, each charge would be however many clones there are. I.e. 1 charge=1 clone, 5 charges=five clones)
MagiTech Mana Device
Viktaal's MagiTech Mana device is the ring he wears on his left thumb.

MagiTech Mana Device

1. A set of two, dual gunblades that he calls "Manducare" and "Kentan", that both do the following:
- Viktaal's gunblades feed off of light energy and turn it into potential energy. (This will be called "Energy Stacking")
- It is adorned with runes along the blade so that any external magical effects are repelled back to its point of origin. (i.e.: if you cast a magical force to try and disarm the blade, it will reflect the force back at you) This only works for magics that make contact with the gunblade, meaning that it is in fact limited.
- As an alternate release for the potential energy that it gathers, although it is not necessary to gather the energy, is the barrel of the gun of the blade. The more potential energy the blade acquires, the more powerful the shots will be. The more potential energy the gunblade stacks, faster the bullet travels and the stronger the manacrystal "explosion" is. Each blade is limited to nine bullets before needing to reload.
2. The pendant necklace he wears protects him from extreme temperatures on both ends of the spectrum. Extreme heat and extreme cold do not bother him at all; the pendant keeps his temperature at a comfortable level.
3. Viktaal wasn't trained in Kalg'rai, so his ability with it comes from where he traveled from. I just put it in "schooling" to avoid messing with the template for character sheets too much.
4. "Replication" is an innate ability for Viktaal, having been an ability that gave away his being a metahuman where he was from.
* The silver of Viktaal's clothing is actually a bit of an armoring, though this is a little-known fact. It is meant to stop the most basic of attacks that would pierce the skin. It is by no means a strong armor, meaning that stronger attacks will still do their job.
Side-note: Viktaal's vision is a bit different from most's. Instead, he sees things via the metaphysical world (through mana itself). This means that he can see things how most would, but he can also see the movement of mana and metaphysical entities/energies.
