Basic Information
Name: Sync the Tempest
Canon: Tales of the Abyss
Age: 14
Height: 5’5”
Weight: 127 lbs
Hair: Dark green
Eye color: Same as above (strange, isn’t it?)
Voice: Ikue Ootani (game)/Yumiko Kobayashi (anime)
Chief of Staff and 5th Division Commander of the Oracle Knights, as well as the tactical leader of the six God-Generals. He wears a mask to conceal his identity.
Personality
Being the tactical leader of the God-Generals at only 14 years of age, Sync is much more intelligent and strategically minded than most might think. He isn’t below calling for a retreat in order to better assess or turn a losing situation into something more favorable.
He has a very destructive sense of self-worth, believing his existence to be meaningless and empty without orders to follow. He is willing to become expendable in order to achieve his revenge. He can be sadistic in his remarks, goading his enemies with snide comments and poking them (emotionally) where they hurt most without any remorse.
As the fifth created replica of the original Fon Master, Sync was deemed too weak in his ability to use fonic arts. This resulted in him and the other “worthless” replicas to be thrown in a volcano, alive, to get rid of the evidence. Sync survived, stewing his internal hatred for the world and the Score over the course of the following two years.
Fighting Style
Sync is the only one of the God-Generals who fights without a weapon, using primarily martial arts style moves and high-level wind-based fonic arts with destructive power. His reflexes and agility are unbelievably quick (there’s a reason he has the moniker of “Tempest”), allowing him to take on multiple opponents at once. To compensate, he has weak physical and fonic defense (so if you manage to hit him good enough? You might just knock him out. He is notoriously difficult to Stun).
He uses several different elemental artes, as well as two mystic artes:
- Thunder Blade
- Ground Dasher: Earth elemental-based.
- Stone Dragon Ascent
- Frigid Coffin
Mystics
- Harrowing Gale
- Akashic Torment
As a replica of the original Fon Master, Sync is capable of using the Daathic arts that are normally locked to those only in that position. This includes the use of a curse seal slot (which utilizes the victim’s traumatic memories in order to control them from a distance). Most noticeably, Sync is unable to remove the seals protecting the Sephiroth Trees.
