Personality
Against established religion and, as far as anyone knows, all forms of current government. The Terrorist is something of an enigma; since no one knows what he looks like, in their memories, they rarely apply a personality to him. He however presents himself as a well-read individual, and is commonly labeled as twisted and mad. It's unknown if he works for someone to meet their own ends or if he has personal goals, and if the latter, what they are.

Appearance
The Terrorist is a tall, lean man, who wears a black ribbed cotton mask over his head to conceal his identity, with only a section cut away from it for vision's sake. For leisure, he will wear black slacks and suspenders, a white collared shirt and black tie, black leather gloves, and if the weather calls for such, a black wool coat with brass buttons. Here and there, if he has no time, he will wear these clothes for his bloodier tasks. However, if he has time to prepare, he will change into a pair of black boots, black and gray patterned camouflage pants, a ribbed cotton shirt that matches the texture and look of his mask, and a gray vest that has a special holster on the right pectoral for his knife.

History
It's unknown where The Terrorist emerged from. What he has shown of his personal appearance provides no racial clues as to his nation of birth. For the most part, his exploits are relatively unknown, something he'd honestly prefer. He has been behind a handful of low profile assassinations of no-name nobles and in the cases that he was expected, was able to rig simple traps to hinder the authorities in time to escape. It almost seems as though he is practicing, as the death of the men and few women have had little impact in the social and political scenes of the world. He seems to understand his limits thus far and has stayed in the realm of assassinations, theft, and vandalism.

It's rumored that he's the progeny of dark-elf trained human spies, of which a number were found implanted in offices of Corone and Raiaera, and summarily executed upon their trials ten years ago. There is no investigation expected, so this remains a rumor. However, since his targets have been primarily Coronian nobles, and he has displayed the most vehemence against the two aforementioned nations, it is highly suspected this is his origin.

Skills

Non-combat: The Terrorist is a man of above average intelligence and is gifted in mathematics, and can rapidly calculate angles and trajectories and solve equations in his head within moments. He knows some of the darker secrets and rumors of many of Althanas' noble class and government officials, as much as your typical informant would know. He also has a basic knowledge of chemistry.

Combat: The Terrorist has an average skill in the use of knives, and is average in the use of Shaolin Kung Fu and Hung Kuen. He also knows a small number of grappling moves, four or five. His strength, speed, and agility are a quarter of the very peak of human potential without being considered superhuman.
((Strength = Can benchpress 200 lbs.
Speed = Can sprint up to 7.5 miles per hour.
Agility = Finds climbing simple surfaces easy.))

Equipment
He owns several changes of the clothes previously mentioned, a steel combat knife with a black matte blade and twelve feet of rope fastened to a steel grappling hook.

Alright, this is almost perfect for immediate approval. One thing that got me was the quarter of peak for strength and speed. I'm not sure what you mean, but I think you meant that he's stronger than average, but not incredibly strong. I'll allow 1.5x in either strength or speed. The other can be average at this level.

After that, you should be approved.

The basic "peak" of human strength is supposed to be, through some research, the capability to bench press 800 pounds, without looking like some mass of muscle under a stretch of skin. So what I'm saying this character is capable of by a quarter is lifting a total of 200 pounds. So his strength is relatively average for a man who exercises.

As far as his speed goes, when completely exerting himself under duress, he could reach a basic land speed of 7.5 mph, which sounds fast unless you've ridden in a car. His agility is such that it's not much of a problem to climb a tree or the side of a building with some rope.

I don't really like the thought of putting multipliers into this profile to express this character's abilities. I'm going to edit in the info I just stated in small print in my original post.

EDIT: I had an accident with my wi-fi. Just delete the other two applications.

By the powers vested in me by the administrators of Althanas, you are hereby approved. With gusto.
