Darkness Impulse
01-21-07, 11:43 AM
NAME:His real name is unknown. He has decided to take on a temporarily alias, "Lialmont Tempest."
AGE: 91 years.
HEIGHT/WEIGHT: 5'9", 157lbs.
RACE: Half-elven origin.
PERSONALITY:
Lialmont is not the type of man to show intense emotion. He smiles, he laughs, he gets mad, not never enough to blind his sight. He is intelligent, and knows what to do when the situation arrives. There is no love, nor hate in his mind. His philosophy: Get in his way, you die. Other then that, he couldn't care less about the fate of a man or a woman.
Tempest is quick thinking and strategic. He has wits, and knows how to use them. A tool for survival, the perfect partner for almost any mission. He works extremely well with others, most of the time. His quick thinking has saved many an partner's life in the past, and it won't stop now.
As far as everyone else knows, Lialmont is simply a mindless hard-working drone. Though the only thing you can see on his face is his bright blue eyes. If he smiled, no one would know it.
OCCUPATION:
Tempest is a free man, in all it's sense. He does what he wants, when he wants, and doesn't feel that he should be forced to doing one thing for money. Though he could consider mercenary for a job, but that's a very broad category. He does try to keep out of trouble with the authorities though, rather than running around breaking the law and killing whomever he feels like.
BUILD:
He is not the strongest of men, nor is he the weakest. He has enough muscle wrapped around his slim body to satisfy his own means. He is not the tallest, or the heaviest man. Slim, agile, tough, the perfect combination for someone like him. If they were to be given numbers(compared to an average man), he would probably be 1.3x stronger, 1.5x more agile and dexteric.
EQUIPMENT: Armor: Lialmont wears no armor but the clothes on his back. He does not need armor as much as people may think, and he even believes that armor is for cowards.
Kunai x5: These are the only bladed weapons that he owns, that he can also use in close combat. He is fairly accurate while throwing them(a little less than average) and is an average fighter while using them close-up like a dagger. They are made of simple steel, with 5 inch long blades that are about 2 inches wide.
Throwing Star x7: These are average run-of-the mill iron throwing stars. 7 pointed, with a 1 inch diameter.
Traveller's Goods: This is simply a sack full of tools for survival out of civilization, such as some rations, hunting supplies, a rolled up mat for sleeping and some fire-making tools.
SKILLS:
DARKNESS IMPULSE: This is Lialmont's unique ability that allows him to not only manipulate the shadows, but to create them as well. He can shape the darkness in various ways, such as a ball that can be thrown, or maybe even a blade can be created. It is also possible to camoflauge oneself by using shadows around them. His current Darkness Impulse abilities are:
Shadow Orb: This can either be done by creating shadows, or maniuplating those around him. This ability manifests a small ball of condensed shadow in the palm of his hand, smaller then his fist. They must be thrown with much accuracy, because for them to be effective they have to hit his opponent in the face. When hit, his opponent's vision darkens slightly. Not blinding them, but maybe enough to hinder their actions. The effect is only temporary, about 10 seconds. This is useful in already dark places.
Though he must be accurate, he may throw more then one ball at once. Currently, he can throw 2 shadow balls simultaneously.
Shadow Camo: This ability can only be done by manipulating the shadows around him. Using this ability, Tempest can temporarily cloak himself in darkness to an extent. He wraps himself with the shadow around him to make himself look like the environment. It is temporary, lasting only about half a minute. The potency of the camoflauge varies with how much shadow there is to manipulate, but at most can only give him about a 30% camoflauge.
--------------------------------------
Acrobatics: Lialmont is capable of doing many complicated acrobatic moves, such as running up or across a wall. He can run about 6 feet up or across a given wall. He is capable of jumps, various flips, etc. All is used to help him fight hand-to-hand. Not wearing any armor helps him by not weighing him down at all.
Martial Artist: At most times, Lialmont decides to wield one, or even two of his kunai in battle. He accomplishes this with the help of hand-to-hand martial arts. He focuses a lot on foot oriented martial arts. Spinning kicks, jumping kicks, jump-spin kicks, flip kicks, he does them all. He is an average martial artist currently.
Quick Resolve: Because Tempest has the ability to supress his own emotions and not let them control him, he has a very quick resolve. If he knows what to do, he will do it, rather than wait to consider the feelings of himself and others. He thinks quickly, and acts quickly. This has saved his life many a time.
APPEARANCE:
Lialmont is actually a very handsome man, but no one can see his face except for his eyes. Strictly for the sake of concealing his identity, he wears a single headpieace. The headpiece is almost like a full face helmet, it has a strip of cloth hung from it on one end while the other end must be tied around manually. This allows one to conceal their mouth and nose, but still allows full breathing ability. The top part covers his hair, ears, and most of his forehead. A metal band is connected to the piece that covers his forehead, with various designs that he himself etched.
On his torso, he wears a black cloth tunic. A simple lightweight design with the sleeves cut off so there is no chance of arm movement being hindered. His shoulders are covered with black leather guards, with iron studs around the edges. There is a strap wrapped diagonally across his chest, where his 7 throwing stars rest. He wears a leather belt, where his 5 kunai are tucked into cloth sheathes on his side. He wears a pair of black leather gauntlets, simply to give his hands enough protection so that he never cuts himself with his blades, and he can grip the edges of variour platforms for a period of time, allowing him to shimmy.
He wears tight black cloth pants, not too tight, but tight enough to not hinder leg movement. His black leather boots reach up to his knees, with a small iron plate on the front just for a little bit of style.
HISTORY:
Lialmont chooses not to remember his past. For the past can bind a man as surely as irons. What he knows was that he was born in Raiaera, to a human father and elven mother. He knows not their appearance or name. He knows his past up to a few years ago. As far as siblings go, he believes that he has one brother, but his whereabouts are unknown to him. He does remember his true name, but decides not to tell a soul. He knows that he started training when he was but a child, and has had the strange Darkness Impulse ability since he was born.
