† Basic Information †
Name: Skylar Krauser Title Dr. / PhD Nickname: Sky Age: 25 Height: 6'1 Weight: 175 lbs Blood Type: O- Gender: Male Sexuality: Heterosexual Eye Color: Blue Hair: Blonde Teacher Class: Philosophy, Ethics, and Politics
† Pass Time Information †
Hobbies- Reading - Sky is an enthusiastic reader though he often chooses books of content over a novel. He has an expansive library containing books written by field experts in subjects from business to financing to history to philosophy and ethics and even anthropology. One might think reading such material more of a chore than entertainment but expanding his knowledge base is the second most enjoyable think in to world to Sky.
- Swordplay - Not exactly fencing, but similar as they use 15th century style sabers in the practice. Sky practices regularly against multiple opponents for at least an hour a day… nonstop. His skill is beyond proficient and defeating his sparring partners, all three of which are usually amongst the best fencers in the area, has become easy if done one at a time. The only challenge being when all three attack at once.
- Theatre - Simple enough but Sky is quite a theatre enthusiast and attends various performances on a regular basis. Plays, Operas, concerts by more eloquent performers all fall under this category.
- Golf - Recently Sky has gained quite an affinity for the game and plays a round whenever given the opportunity. His game isn’t very good at the moment, a twelve stroke handicap at the moment, but he approaches the challenge of improving with the same vigor he approaches everything else.
- Football - Not American, true football that is actually played with a foot. Growing up Sky was quite a talented player and even picked up to join the Youth camp of Arsenal when he was fourteen years old. Things did not pan out but he still enjoys the game, both playing and watching, and has remained a devout Arsenal fan.
- Spending time with Reia - Yes, Sky's favorite past time in the world is spending time with his daughter. It doesn't matter what or where, there is nothing better... especially with his growing work the chances become fewer but he always makes time.
Talents- Football - As previously mentioned Sky was a talented player as a younger man and had a chance to play professionally had he stuck with it. Alas something, which he keeps to himself, altered him from that course but his talent remains at a high level. He played Center Mid and had an amazing vision of the field that had him a tremendous passer of the ball, a talent he has reformed and still uses. The only weakness that scouts could point out was his accuracy shooting the ball on the run.
- Singing - Despite some of his worse habits Sky has been able to maintain his voice. It is a voice more equitable to a lounge singer from the 50’s like Sinatra or Martin. He doesn’t have the range of notes that he once had when he was younger but harmony has improved with practice, mostly for fun at the pub.
- Multitasking - Indeed, Sky is on his way to being a viable genius in the art of multitasking. Often juggling two or three things at the same time, Sky has balanced accounts over the phone while taking a shower… he’s driven throw Miami rush hour while eating breakfast, carrying on a conference call with his executives and formalize buyout documents. His goal appears to be accomplish seven tasks at once.
Favorite things- Spending time with Reia - Not surprising really… Sky has spent so much time with work, school and various other tasks that the only truly ‘outside of work’ relationship he has is his daughter. And comparing at moment to with her to anything else… makes everything else trivial.
† Mental Information †
Personality: Sky really has three different personalities that arise when dealing with different groups of people.
- In business dealings - To put it in three words… cold, calculating, and relentless. Once Sky has his eyes set on something he will do everything he can to get the deal done. A sharp tongue, brash and young demeanor are his weapons and are used with a figurative deadly precision. He demands the best out of every single one of his employees from the man cleaning the floors to the executives and rewards their performance. If you are someone who wants to take things easy, working for him is a nightmare. Conversely, if you like being pushed to be one of the best in such a position and well paid, he can be one of the best bosses around. Still he is willing to speak with any employee on any matter is fine with him be it a mistake, a suggestion, a problem at home, or just idle chit-chat before punching out… all are welcome.
- Outside of work/General acquaintances - Sky is an even keel person, often much like his uncle. Aware to all without appearing so, he often throws in a clever comment in now and again, never truly driving the conversation. It can come off as cold or disingenuous but he is British. Manners are never forgotten and are practiced at all time but never to an excessive extent to be well noticed by an onlooker. He can be seen as arrogant, snotty, or self-centered, however this is often because of his apparent disinterest.
- With Reia/Warm acquaintances - Firstly, becoming a warm acquaintance to Sky is a difficult task to accomplish and easy to lose. However then one can truly see a Sky worth having as a friend. A warm, overly-polite person who enjoys a good laugh or sing-song with friends… perhaps over a pint. This is the only time someone can see him actually laugh. In fact people only see this side of him many times because they are around to witness him with his daughter, at time during which he seems more like a fourteen year old playing with his younger sister than a father who is a CEO.
Mentality: Sane. Slightly Machiavellian. Sky does have Cynophobia, which is the fear of dogs. Overtime his fear has lessened especially with littler dogs, however a larger dog (German shepard size and a little smaller) can cause him to have a panic attack if they get too close. Ideal: Believe someone will fail, and they will. Believe they can succeed, they shall. Do not except 'good enough'... demand perfection! If you treat a man as the person he is, he will remain that same man... treat him as the man he should be and he will become the man he was meant to be. Belief: Atheist - Look at the world and what people do to each other, the suffering world wide... couldn't your god help them? Heh, given that who can say god exists... and if god does Sky does not care for their approval.
Habits: We all have them, some good and some bad.{Good/Bad}- Smoking - In more troubled times Sky got to nearly a pack a day to relieve the stress that the events of 499 and his own pressures forced upon him. Over time, and with Reia’s support, he has reeled back this nasty habit to the tune of about a pack an average week with spikes depending a night of drinking or problems at work but never near his previous pace. It is unlikely that Sky will ever completely quit, no matter how many people encourage him to.
- Charity work - Sky regularly holds grand fundraisers for charities and also makes generous contributions. In part he does it to help the people targeted by the charities but also the positive press it creates. The best PR is good PR. It may seem heartless but Sky has learned one truth from when he tried to help people for the sake of helping people… its pointless.
- Lack of sleep - In terms of taking care of himself. Sky’s sleeping habit is what allowed him to do so much in such a short time, functioning on four hours of sleep on a good night… a bad night he won’t sleep at all. These aren’t once in a while occurrences but constant. In a given week Sky will sleep anywhere from 20-30 hours, and his personal record for nights without sleep… five.
- Working out - Some people might categorize Sky on the side of excessive when it comes to working out, but he feels in necessary. He runs three miles daily along with seventy-five sit-ups. On alternating days he mixes in more cardio, flexibility, or strength building exercises to keep his body in shape and off set his bad habits.
- Questionable business practices? - More recently there have been rumors of unethical actions taken by Sky and his company in the acquisition of other businesses and real estate. These rumors are fueled by his arrogant demeanor, unwillingness to speak with the press, and his recent hearings of former special forces and military. Of course all of this is kept in the background due to the mainstream media’s praise of his work with charities world wide and his favorable standing with their executives. Also rumors abound about him working with criminals worldwide.
† Physical Information †
- Build - Obviously given his workout regiment, Sky is quite a grand shape. He isn’t very big, in fact side by side with an average man they would look exactly the same. Yet underneath Sky’s body is toned to an almost freakish extent, almost every muscle can be picked out. He doesn’t have the pasty complexion that people often associate with the British and actually has a light tan.
- Head - Sky is a handsome man but sometimes his facial expressions come off as naturally cold. Icy blue eyes and golden blonde hair that falls in length to just around his ears. When combed for a meeting, it is combed back neatly with a few stray bangs that fall around his eyes {reference avatar}. When just left to do as it may it appears like seen in the above picture. He is always clean-shaven and there are no noticeable marks of any kind. His teeth are in perfect shape, which is other contradiction to the stereotyping of British people.
- Torso - Like afore mentioned, Sky’s physique is quite impressive on the scale of definition. Of course this is the only part of his body where there is a noticeable mark and it is an impressive one in its own right. Obtained during a field trip in his freshman year of high school, the scar runs from just below his left shoulder diagonally across his back to just above his hip. The edges are frayed in a veined manner from improper healing and care when it happened as well as the jagged edges of the glass.
- Arms - Nothing special, no marks of any kind. The only item to point out is that Sky has rather long fingers, which come in quite handy when he is typing.
- Legs - The largest muscles of Sky’s body are here, due to his time as a football player. His thighs and calves are on the larger side but again not to a freakish extent. It should be noted that Sky studied gymnastics as a child and has maintain the flexibility and balance. He can stand on one leg for a long time while swinging the other about and can also due a standing split. Like the arms and head, there are on distinguishing marks.
- Feet - Similar to the rest of his body, save the torso, with no distinguish marks of any kind. He wears a size 13 shoe.
Manner of Dress - Sky is a well-off individual and dresses in a manner befitting it, even around the house he wears higher end clothing. Fine suits and shoes from upscale stores and designers litter his expansive wardrobe. The biggest evidence of this is his set of ten custom made suits made by a top Italian designer and consisting of the finest materials all together costing… €100,000.
† Schooling Information †
High School Graduated: Academy of St. Thomas Aquinas GPA:4.0 Honors: Diploma, Valedictorian
Undergraduate University Graduated: University of Oxford Undergraduate GPA: 4.0 Degree(s) Awarded: Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics
Postgraduate University Graduated: University of Oxford Postgraduate GPA: 3.9 Degree(s) Awarded: Doctorate of Philsophy, Master of Philsophy in International Relations, Master of Philosophy in Economics.
Summation: As Sky started to delve into his business workings he felt it key that he finish schooling. Having no real distractions, he finished up at an English academy and soon enrolled at Oxford. Sky entered the PPE program, which consists of Philosophy, Politics, and Economics, and tore through the three-year program in just under two by doing everything he could to expedite the process and thus finishing just before his 20th birthday. Over the next four years Sky cranked through his postgraduate work to receive two masters and a doctorate, the fact that he rarely slept being an asset in achieving this. He has paused his academic pursuits for the time being.

† Fighting Information †
Fighting Style: Rose Fist Years Practiced: 7 Description of style: Rose Fist is a style that Sky created in his childhood and developed over time through training and necessity. It was originally a way for him to work his muscles, but in a more entertaining way the traditional jog or weight rooms. He combined his studies of Chinese opera with the basics of boxing and fencing, which he participated at the social club his uncle was a member of. The purpose it was created for made Rose Fist’s original form very energy extensive and much like a dance that demanded much of all the muscle groups. Of course there was no need for practicality as young Sky was never in a fight, however upon enrolling at public high school 499 he learned that it needed reformation. From altercation to altercation the Englishman reformed the style to preserve energy while keeping power, grace, and speed of the original. It was difficult but done.
In its present form, Rose Fist does not contain the same extent of grace and dance that originally did but some remains. The primary defense and attack are the legs, most all attacks are kicks and Sky often remains on one leg while kicking relentlessly with the other, using it to block if necessary. The hands are used as secondary means of attack and defense, often resting at the sides in the mean time. Sky will often try to use speed to avoid oncoming attack rather than block them. When blocking is employed it is done in a manner not to halt the momentum of an incoming blow but to redirect away from vital areas. Acrobatics are used but much more sparingly than previously as Sky’s ability and the Chinese opera element does demand it.
Though a capable fighter, Sky’s true style of combat is purely mental and much like a game of chess. Misinformation and turning students against other students or faculty are his weapons. When an opponent is designated, he tries to turn everyone on that target… it can backfire but that does not stop his trying. In this type of fight, Sky operates strictly under a philosophy of sacrificing the few for the good of the many… if a few people get hurt in the process of making the whole better it is an acceptable loss.
† Qi Information †
Qi Name: Force Majeure
Qi Ability: Sky channels his Qi into his hands and feet, then into his opponent upon making contact with them in some sort of strike. There his Qi acts like a shockwave and amplifies the force while carrying through the targets innards. In essence Sky’s Qi acts as a medium for the force of his blow before transferring it into the target. Game Mechanics: Sky’s cha value must overtake opponent’s cha. Damage done is amplifier times cha plus str equals attack force. (A x C + S = F)
Qi Strengths: Increased force (str) on attacks from hands and feet.
Qi Weaknesses: Sky’s energy must overcome his opponent’s (cha v cha) to be effective. Not a constant effect and must be channeled through limbs.
Qi Levels: Beginner: The user is just getting used to the ability and thus the energy used lacks true potency not only to overcome the target’s energy but to amplify the force. (User cha at 3:1 ratio, meaning 3 user cha equals 1 target cha. Also amplification is weak at only at 25%. Thus to attack an opponent with 20 cha, Sky must use 60 cha. The attack force would be (60 x 25%) = 15 + Str.) Level Requirements: *Suggestion* 10 Constitution, 20 Intelligence, 20 Charisma
Novice: The user is adjust well to using this power, however the potency of their energy is still lacking as in the amplification factor but it is better than before. (User cha at 2:1 ratio, meaning 2 user cha equals 1 target cha. Also amplification is weak at only at 50%. Thus to attack an opponent with 20 cha, Sky must use 40 cha. The attack force would be (40 x 50%) = 20 + Str.) Level Requirements: *Suggestion* 20 Constitution, 40 Intelligence, 40 Charisma
Pro Level: The user is used to the skill however they are still honing their energy to maximize its efficiency. It is no longer a transaction that wastes energy and is a equal trade off. (User cha at 1:1 ratio, meaning 1 user cha equals 1 target cha. Also amplification is weak at only at 100%. Thus to attack an opponent with 20 cha, Sky must use 20 cha. The attack force would be (20 x 100%) = 20 + Str.) Level Requirements: *Suggestion* 30 Constitution, 60 Intelligence, 60 Charisma
Expert Level: The user is now proficient in using the ability. Their energy is more potent than most others and it now amplifies the force in a noticeable manner. (User cha at 1:2 ratio, meaning 1 user cha equals 2 target cha. Also amplification is weak at only at 150%. Thus to attack an opponent with 40 cha, Sky must use 20 cha. The attack force would be (20 x 150%) = 30 + Str.) Level Requirements: *Suggestion* 40 Constitution, 80 Intelligence, 80 Charisma
Master Level: The user is a powerhouse in terms of their energy. Rare are those that can stand up to its potency and it amplifies the force of a blow greatly. (User cha at 1:3 ratio, meaning 1 user cha equals 3 target cha. Also amplification is weak at only at 200%. Thus to attack an opponent with 60 cha, Sky must use 20 cha. The attack force would be (20 x 200%) = 40 + Str.) Level Requirements: *Suggestion* 50 Constitution, 100 Intelligence, 100 Charisma

† History Information †
The Early Years
On a warm summer day, in the early mists of the English morn, Maria and Fredrick Krauser rushed to the nearest hospital as their baby was preparing entry into the world. Several painful hours later they had their son, Skylar Krauser. With their new born baby boy in tow, the family headed home as happy as could be. It seemed like it would be a scene from a movie, that they would live happily ever after as a family… not so. Before Skylar’s third birthday, his parents would parish in an accident on an expedition in Israel. Their child would then be raised by his aunt and uncle, Mahli and Francis Harrison, Mahli being Fredrick’s sister.
No longer the son of two well known Archeologists, Skylar was the child of a Jaguar executive and the owner of a successful interior design firm. Cousins became like siblings, Thomas or Tommie, his elder by four years, Rosa, his younger by six, and Taylor, his younger by seven, though it would be some time before the latter would join the fray. That big family started to form on the good size English estate on the outskirts of Manchester. With the upper class status of his family, Sky, given the nickname by his quirky aunt Mahli, would find himself give much the advantages in life. Horseback riding, fencing, polo, cricket, gymnastics, chess, and soccer were the games and hobbies he took to while attending prestigious academies for primary school. Whether it was genetics or upbringing, or even both, Sky excelled in every aspect of life he took to leaving him to dream of possibilities as a child, actor, singer, Olympian, professional soccer player, or even an Archeologist like his parents who he’d often been told stories about by his aunt and uncle when he was truly little.
Perhaps Sky’s greatest talent was playing soccer as at the age of twelve he was optioned by the Arsenal youth team to play center midfielder. Needless to say he graciously accepted and was soon off to London to pursue his dreams of playing professional soccer. However his skill and physical prowess soon became overshadowed by the sheer ferocity that the others played with, some acts bordering on mere thuggary. He tried to stick, and did thanks to his skill, but soon that lack of toughness truly started to show over the next two years. One night Sky got into a fight with several other players and found himself beaten handily only to be chastised for a lack of strength. He was cut the next week and returned home in a depression. For several weeks he thought over what to do know that the dream seemed shattered, he needed to get tougher and apparent the American school system had adopted corporal punishment. Sky made his decision and soon told his aunt and uncle he was moving to America to enroll in school, that he needed to get stronger to get the life he wanted.

† Living Status Information † [/u][/center][/size] Type of resident: Sky owns borderline mansion along the stretch of real estate known as Carbon Beach. The house has two stories and a large porch with stairs that lead down to the stretch of beach that is part of the property.
Upstairs there are five bedrooms on the second floor as well as three bathrooms, including the master bedroom and bath. The two upstairs bathrooms have the usual bathtub/shower hybrid, however the grandiose master bathroom has a large separate tub as well as a rather large shower stall. The master bath and bedroom both have access to the small balcony that overlooks the ocean. One bedroom is Reia’s and garnished as such in a very serene Japanese Zen Garden style with earth tones and simple furnishings, as well as several full bookcases. The other two are simply made guest bedrooms.
Downstairs is a very open floor plan with the sea facing side being entirely taken up by large windows. There are one and a half-baths, one on each end of the house. The spiral stair case that grants access to the upstairs is directly to the left of the house’s entrance just beyond the coat closet. Now facing the ocean, to the left of the entrance is the only sealed rooms. The bathroom that connects to the Gym, which also has a sauna and bathroom with showers and lockers. Next to that is Sky’s office with his state-of-the-art computer is located along with a plethora of books and consumed the surrounding bookcases. There are also some historical artifacts on display in here. The open area contains two sitting areas, one that forms a semi-circle in front of the large entertainment certain that is set against the large wall of windows. To the other side of the house is the half-bath for the kitchen and dining areas. The dining area is a simple large table nestled in the corner. The kitchen has all the best appliances and a large island counter top that also serves as a breakfast nook.
Outside is a large porch with rather elegant furniture that serve as a sitting/eating area beside the large pool and hot tub. From here there is a large set of stairs down to the expanse of beach. In the front is a well kept lawn and garden, driveway and two car garage that holds Sky’s Aston Martin and Escalade.

† Occupational Information †
Position: High School Teacher Classes Taught: Philosophy, Ethics, and Politics. History: Skylar has not been a teacher other than a small stint to make sure he could get the teachering certificate. This will be his first position and one he looks forward to greatly.
~Sky also owns his own company~
Title: Chief Executive Officer of Krauser International Ownership: Sky owns 80% of the company with the other 20% belonging to his uncle Francis Harrison, who’s title happens to be Chief Executive Vice President of the European Branch. Why? Sky wanted to see if financial journals would type the whole title or abbreviate to CEVPEB or something like that… basically Francis is the second in command.
Official Holdings:
- Los Angeles - Krauser International North American Headquarters - a ten-story building from which Sky controls the rest of the businesses. Nothing all that special here, all the data from the various individual interests is compiled and processed. There is a food court and daycare from employee use however. The top floor consists of Sky’s office, his personal secretary, and Connor’s office. There are rumors of a training center underground as well as laboratories.
- Outside L.A. - Heaven’s Mountain Resort and Spa - a Five-star resort built about two hours northwest of Los Angeles that caters primarily to elite clientele but they are willing to welcome all guests as long as they pay and follow the rules. The five-story building has 100 royal rooms, which are large and lavish, in addition to 20 suites, which are separate residents. There are two restaurants, two bars, a lounge, gala room, of course spa, gym, pool and sauna, and a central hot springs grotto with ten different sectioned areas for bathing. There is no photography allowed on the premise and phones are checked in with coats. You are here to relax.
- Aspen, Colorado - Cloud Mountain Hotel - a five-star hotel in Aspen with just over 200 rooms, two restaurants, ski shop, two bars, and a lounge with a central fire place. The only other thing to note is that until just under two years ago Sky only owned part of the property before buying out the other three. A difficult task but Sky made sure it happened.
- Miami - The Royale - a five star restaurant in downtown Miami serving primarily French cuisine. - La Munificenza del Fiume - a five star Italian restaurant in downtown Miami serving Italian cuisine, just two blocks apart. - Nightshade - a night club in the downtown area of town.
- London - Krauser International European Headquarters - There is no real difference from the NAHQ, in fact the two buildings are built exactly the same. Also Krauser has large investments in both Aston Martin and Jaguar. It also acts as the HQ for Harrison Development, a reality development firm thought up and brought about by Francis.
- Zurich, Switzerland - First Gold Bank of Zurich - recently Francis negotiated the buy-out of a financial group and their bank. Thus, now under new management, Krauser runs a Swiss bank that has attracted some less the decent clients and has lead to some suspicions about how the money is handled.
- Ireland - nothing much to point out other than Krauser International’s vested interest in Beamish Stout.
- Portugal -
Harrison Development is currently building a dozen homes in the nation and is looking to increase the number twofold by years end. Due to the economic downturn Sky has been left holding several of these properties with few buyers available.
- San Francisco -
Krauser is currently in the process acquiring a faltering tech company called Viasect. Recently a few snags have been hit as some of the founders still refuse to sell. Recently Sky has created a situation that made it best for the remaining holdouts to sell. Since the acquisition, the company has seen a complete turnaround.
- Tokyo -
With the growing Asian market and a foreseeable economic boom in China, Sky has ‘agents’ oversees looking into possible expansions into the market. He wishes to set up base in the Japanese capital with an accounting firm. The building for the Asian Headquarters has been completely and is currently being organized and positions are being filled.
Under development:
- Miami -
Sky is one of three that are constructing a large hotel on a stretch of land in South beach. The monstrosity has hit a few snags since it was started. Sky has tested about buying the other two partners out but either seemed to interest, however he is not beyond selling his own part in order to clear himself of the ordeal. Recently Sky has been able to create a situation that made it fortuitous for the other two investors to sell. It was bought by a developer who wishes to remodel it into apartments and offices. Harrison Development was given a large contract to assist.
- Eastern Europe - Harrison Development is looking into land to set up commercial, residential, and even industrial properties.
- Las Vegas - The highest of Sky’s future plans as he hopes to open a casino. Las Vegas is his ideal choice but Monaco, Monte Carlo, and Macau are other options.
- Los Angeles - Being the city of glitz and glamour, and being the home of the HQ, Sky has an interest in starting a production company of some kind. Either music or movies, even TV… ideally all three but this is on the back burner for now.
Color Code for profitability: High - Gold, Good - Silver, Average - Green, Poor - Beige[/size]
