Hurricane's Quill

Hurricane's Quill is the newest member of the Author Fighters, appearing in Author Fighters: Fair Folk Assault.

HQ's Origins
HQ was 17 at the time of his Exaltation, when he was living in the city of Cherak, a Scarlet Empire satrapy. Knowing the dangers that the revelation of his newfound power would entail, HQ took off north, using his falcon form to fly across the White Sea to the north, where he happened to be found by a group of people from the Lunar-formed Haslanti League. It was here that HQ was introduced to the Silver Pact, a federation of Lunar tribes scattered throughout Creation that had formed when the Lunars fled Creation following the Usurpation 2000 years before. HQ became a member shortly after being tattooed, using his skill in martial arts and use of a lance to blaze through his trials.

He is a known member of three factions of the Silver Pact: the Winding Path, the Swords of Luna, and the Crossroads Society. However, he spends most of his time with his personal team of mercenaries known as the Court of Daiklaves. A fanfic under the same name is being contemplated to explain the origins of the troop.

Joining the Author Fighters
HQ is not yet a member of the team. However, he will join the Author Fighters at the end of Fair Folk Assault.

HQ's Powers
HQ is a Lunar Exalted of the Full Moon Caste, granting him a number of abilities that empower his physical abilites. Namely, his skills revolve the use of his moonsilver dire lance, Phoenix Buster, as well as the Lazuline Raptor Style of martial arts. He also wields a huge double-barreled revolver called Dragon Breaker, designed similarly to the Blue Rose gun used by Nero in Devil May Cry 4.

Lazuline Raptor Style
Whirling Wing Evasion: HQ twirls in the air, making him hard to hit.

Sky Predator's Rush: HQ charges down his foes with a really fast blow.

Raging Eagle Form: HQ charges his Essence into his body, allowing him to jump as a reflexive action. It also gives his eyes a powerful look, making him very scary to people that aren't willing to hurt him.

Golden Hawk Strike: HQ charges his next blow, this one able to punch through the strongest armor.

Jade Raiton's Flash: HQ's unleashes a flurry of blows with the same effect of Golden Hawk Strike.

Azure Falcon Rocket: HQ performs a number of frenzied movements before him, similar to hand seals, to create a falcon formed from the air and ambient Essence. He then sends the falcon into his foes, which then explodes in a screech of avian fury.

Heaven's Shrike Attack: HQ leaps skyward, then dives down on his foes like a diving hawk, his hand forming into a silvery bird.

Other Lunar Abilities
Anima Flare: HQ can also use his anima to increase his strength, as well as increasing the heights of his jumps, perfect for the Lazuline Raptor Style.

Shapeshifting: As a Chosen of Luna, HQ can take on the form of any animal of whom he has tasted the Heart’s Blood of, becoming a perfect copy of that animal. However, you can tell HQ apart from any other animal of that species with his Tell: a long red streak running along the animal’s body. HQ can currently take on the form of a falcon, mouse, bobcat, arctic fox, and a marlin.

War Form: As part of his shapeshifting abilities, HQ can also adopt a dangerous human/falcon hybrid form, called his war form. In this form, HQ breaks out in mottled brown feathers, his eyes turn a hawk-like yellow, his hands become talons, and a pair of huge wings suddenly unfurl behind him. This temporarily increases HQ’s strength, speed, and endurance by about 10 percent, and also enhances HQ’s perception by nearly 40 percent. This is HQ's current ace in the hole.

HQ's Court of Daiklaves
The Court of Daiklaves is HQ's personal team of mercenaries. How he managed to put the team together is going to be put together in an upcoming fic with the same name.

Rinoa Heartlily (Final Fantasy VIII): Rinoa is the second-in-command of the Court of Daiklaves, using her Blaster Edge as a weapon. She also uses a Gunblade in the first chapter of Fair Folk Assault. She is also HQ's confidant, helping him out with some of the more personal issues of his Exalted life. Rinoa and HQ met on a joint mission to Gethamane with the Silver Pact, and have gotten along well since.

Alicia Melchiott (Valkyria Chronicles): Alicia joined the Court of Daiklaves after the disappearance of Welkin while he was hunting Darksides that were roaming around Gallia. Her main weapon is her old Gallian A-28 assault rifle, but at HQ's behest, she also wields a ragnite lance and shield that uses her power as a Valkyria.

Riza Hawkeye (Fullmetal Alchemist): Riza joins the Court of Daiklaves

Silver the Hedgehog (Sonic the Hedgehog): Silver joined the Court of Daiklaves after his world was destroyed by not Darksides, but instead by the Fair Folk. He uses his gloves and his Chaos Emerald in battle, as well as his telekinetic abilities to help identify friend and foe.
