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.
