History:
From a young Age of 8, Lykas Sakyl was brought to an unnamed Swordsmanship School where he learned to wield a weapon under the guidance of the two masters, as he developed his strength over time. Once when he was 12 years old, he was raking the grounds of the school when he came across an unused shed he had not seen before. Upon opening it, he found a claymore re-balanced with a hand-and-a-half grip.
The masters noticed him using it a few days later. They had brought him in for a discussion about it before ultimately allowing him to keep it as a personal weapon, after seeing how well he had been taking care of it. He has been practicing with it in solo practice sessions ever since, practicing the older parts of bushido as well as working on the basic moves.
Eventually he grew strong enough to be able to wield it one-handed for shorter periods of time before his arm would tire and he would be forced to rest, or risk damaging his precious weapon. At the age of 13 and a half, he was sent by the masters into a nearby town for a few items, as well as giving him a bit of pocket money for extra work he had been performing in the gardens and the grounds. It was there that he discovered a merchant wearing a thick robe calling for people to come examine his wares. Lykas then discovered a chitin gauntlet that caught his interest.
It had no mate upon the table, but he asked the merchant about it. The being tried to point Lykas to it's other wares before it finally relented and made an bet; if the gauntlet fit Lykas, it would be his for 100 zeni. Lykas had slipped it on, and it fit like, well, a glove. The merchant received it's coin and Lykas left, wearing the gauntlet on his right arm, feeling the weight of it as he completed his collection of the items he was sent to purchase.
After he returns to the School, he dropped off the items he had gathered and proceeded to practice with his swordplay as he had always done, except from that moment, he started to throw a few punches while working upon wielding his claymore one-handed. He had quickly learned that with what he knew from basic swordplay, and combining it with what he had learned in the few basic martial art classes he had taken for basic hand-to-hand combat, he could actually provide just as much harm as standard, but also be able to throw his opponent off balance or surprise them with a punch when they least expect it in the close quarters that comes with swordplay. He had continued to practice until the age of 14, when the masters, wanting to see why he had continued to wear the glove while practicing and wondering what he was doing, put him into a fighting ring against another student, where he must prove the effectiveness of the new fighting style against traditional swordplay values. The fight turned out rather badly, where there were rules strictly against killing the other student, he had accidentally struck the student in just the right place to stop his heart, killing the boy.
Lykas was thereafter expelled from the school and upon turning 16 a few years later, given permission to leave the grounds on the fact that he was now considered an adult in most rights. He had been wandering for 2 years since, and continues to wander Earth doing minor tasks and earning money to continue survival, having honed his fighting technique with his sword and gauntlet-style to an art.
