[/abilities] [/col][/3column] [2column][col] [abilities=Looks] Navigator Ardanor Barknek is an imposing figure, standing taller than most humans, with a lean yet wiry build. His skin is almost unnaturally pale, a trait shared by all members of House Barknek, giving him an otherworldly appearance. His face is angular, with high cheekbones and a narrow jawline, accentuating the sharpness of his features. His eyes are a pale, icy blue, almost colorless, which seem to pierce through anyone who dares to meet his gaze. The most striking feature, however, is the third eye in the center of his forehead—a genetic mutation that marks him as a Navigator. This eye is slightly larger than his natural eyes, with a deep, unsettling black iris that hints at the void of space. It is often kept hidden beneath the shadow of his hood, revealing itself only when necessary. Ardanor dresses in a heavy, dark cloak that drapes over his tall frame, the fabric thick and textured, almost like it was woven from the darkness of space itself. The cloak's hood is usually pulled low over his head, shrouding his face in shadow and further hiding the third eye from casual view. His hands, long and thin, are usually gloved, but when exposed, they reveal a similar pallor to his face enhanced by the soft, blue-tinged veins visible beneath his skin, especially around the back of his hands. He moves with a quiet grace, his presence almost spectral, as he tends to stay away from the bustle of others, preferring solitude and the company of his own thoughts. There is an air of mystery and danger about him, a sense that he knows and sees far more than he lets on. His discretion and habit of cloistering himself away make him a figure who is never quite understood by those around him. [spoiler=Avatar] [img]https://i.imgur.com/DNRRME2.jpeg[/img] [/spoiler] [/abilities] [/col][col] [abilities=Origin] Navigator Ardanor Barknek was born aboard the ancient voidship Eternal Pilgrim, the flagship of the nomadic and esteemed House Barknek. Raised entirely in the void, Ardanor was groomed from a young age to fulfill his destiny as a Navigator, mastering the perilous art of guiding ships through the Warp. His upbringing amidst the hum of old engines and the sight of distant stars instilled in him a profound connection to space and an aversion to planetary surfaces. Throughout his life, Ardanor faced numerous challenges, including devastating warp storms and resource scarcities, during which he demonstrated exceptional skill, unwavering calm, and resilience. His precise navigation and diplomatic acumen elevated him to the roles of Emissary and Senior Advisor within his House. Driven by a deep desire for prestige, Ardanor is committed to enhancing the honor and influence of House Barknek.[/abilities] [/col][/2column] [3column][col] [abilities=Insanity] When you [b]suffer Insanity[/b], you fall into a state of paranoid delusion.
