09-20-08, 11:45 AM
Name: "Shifter" Has become his only known Alias.
Age: Unknown
Sex: Male
Race: Human
Alignment: Neutral Evil
Class: Assassin
Personality: Shifter is quite selfish, wanting to gain something from whatever he decides to do. If hes going to do it, he'll be gaining something from it, as nothing to gain is a meaningless objective. He doesn't care for others problems but is egar to exploit an opportunity if he sees it. Although, if the problem concerns him, he will go to great efforts to ensure that he over comes it, as he does not believe in being below another being, be it a man, women or creature.
Appearence:
Shifter wears a long sleeved dark red and black patched top, with half a hood attached to the top, something he has never bothered to sort out. A brown leather strap is wrapped around his shoulders and back across his back, crossing over in an X. This contains various clips and holsters for carrying weapons and other items he aquires. His pants are contructed with the same dark red and black material creating a patchy but well made attire. His boots are made from a tough hide of an unknown animal, but it is durable and water proof.
Shifter is light skinned but with strange darker patches that mark his body like old wounds. He has short dark hair and black eyes, with a average features and a shaven rough beard.
Weapons:
Bladed Braces
Shifter has two steel braces under his long sleeved top, one on each arm. They remain hidden under his clothes but, he has a long slit down his forearms which allow for the concealed blade to be used. The blade is only thin at two centimetres, but reaches from his wrist and almost to his elbow. This blade is kept very sharp and is meant for close combat use, for quick and dangerous attacks and making quick kills, perfect for unsuspecting people.
Hookswords
Shifter has two hookswords, these appear similar to normal swords, with sharp blades, but the ends bend over like hooks giving extra uses that Shifter needs in his work. The handles are also protected with a small cover that comes over the hand and have three spikes pretruding from them, this allows Shifter to strike his opponent from both ends of the weapon. The top of the swords are re-enforced allowing Shifter to use these to hold his own body weight, this comes in use for climbing and similar activity's.
[I]Serrated Dagger
A small serrated dagger of little value. This blade is small at about six inches, but is sharp and light for easy, quick use, a prime weapon for an assassin.
Skills:
[I]Weapon
While being through such a rough time in his life so far, Shifter has learnt to use his weapons to keep himself alive and to finish his assassinations quickly. He is swift and deadly with his dagger after years of practice and has become well honed in using it, while his Hookblades have come to his hands much later he has had some training and is a reasonable fighter with them. With his recent bounty's collected he has used his money to gain his newest of weapons, the bladed braces on his arms, and while its use can be deadly Shifter is still learning to use these properly so he can become much better in future.
Thief
While Shifter has changed his occupation to an assassin and bountying. He still retains some of his thieving skills, this in minor being able to take smal pounches of money or small items.
((This will not be abused and does not include weapons or large items etc, whenever this is used I will have concent from the player in question.))
Shadow
Shifter got his name because of the shadow ability he gained. His skin has been effected because of his power as well as his eyes which are now pitch black at all times. The shadow ability allows Shifter to actually become like a shadow. He does not change shape at all, but his entire appearence (attire included) becomes shadow like, so in fact he appears like a three dimentional shadow. While in this state, if he stands in a real shadow he is totally invisible as long as he is within the shadow, any part of himself outside the shadow will show him. Being the shadow he is obivously merly a shade so he is hard to see and he casts no shadow, but cannot pass through solid objects etc. While in this state, he cannot fight or damage people he must return to his normal state to make pysical contact. If he is struck in this state, he is unharmed but immediately brought back into his normal form and effected by head and muscle aches. Normally the transition takes a few moments to occur both ways. When he switches back and forth a humming sound emminates until the transition is complete. Prolonged use of this ability can effect Shifter with headaches and muscle problems in many ways, so he must be careful with how long this is performed.
History:
Shifter was not always his first name, but since given his alias he has never repeated his name and has let it drift into the back of his mind, forgotten. Being brought up in a poor village by his family, crime was flush and money was hard to come by. He was quickly driven into a society of thieves at a young age and made a living by stealing from others and being as selfish as possible as it was the only way to survive. Stragglers were killed off, those who could not compete straved and those who got caught were killed. Dheathain was no real place for humans, very few places appeared to allow them willingly, and soon came word that Donnalatch(the main city in Dheathain) would come and clean up the growing town and its problems.
Before any help from the Donnalaich came, an entire guild of theives had formed to make nearly three hundred members. Anyone who followed the laws were up against a threat they could not control, and as the danger grew, fear drove others to join the guild. Soon the armies from Donnalatch marched to remove the growing threat from the theives, the trace of the only humans over Dheathain were going to be exterminated along with the guild before they got too powerful. Shifter had become a worthy theif and stood high up the ranking for the guild, and as the guild stood their ground they also awaited certain death. The armies numbers were much larger than theres and they were quickly dismantled and killed, as the army burnt the town to the ground and started as fresh society.
Shifter escaped along with ten others, and in a pact they agreed to never see each other again. The search for surviving humans was on, and in an untolerated society being a thief and a human made them primary target. Shifter never saw any of them again, a few reports filled posters within other towns and citys speaking of their capture and Shifter had grown weak with lack of food as he struggled to remain hidden. In an desperate attempt to survive he sought out a man of magic, and using his remaining money paid for help. Shifter was no stranger to the bizarre people that lived within Dheathain and yet was surprised to gain the powers he did. The strange man gave him the powers to remain hidden and enter places no normal man can. Known only as Shadow, the man created a tatoo on Shifters back, which spans from shoulder to shoulder, of the entire of althanas, this way Shifter can always find him. Now Shifter travells where he pleases without the worry of being caught and uses his powers to his advantage, as he has now become an assassin and makes large bountys on his kills.
