Name: Philip Lufaro
Age: 27(by human marks)
Race: Half Elf
Hair Color: White
Eye Color: Dark gray
Height:
Weight:
Occupation: Assassin and Wanderer

Personality: It's very hard to predict what Philip will do. One moment he can be calm and easy going and the next one screaming in rage. He is very smart and sometimes stubborn man. He'll use anything and anyone to achieve his goals, usually by using charisma. Oh, yes, Philip is quite charismatic when he needs. From other side the man can be brute, rude and sadistic if it'll serve his goals.

Philip has many faces and none knows which one is real. He is a lonely wolf type and always in control, even when he drunk. Philip is passionate man and loves sex and excitement. He's bisexual and what he can’t get by words he gets by force.

He's gambler by his nature and ready to risk whatever he have, even his own life. The fortune is by his side most of the time. Hidden sarcasm can be heard often in his speech. Usually he appears as a cynical yet charming gentleman.

Appearance: Philip's face is a typical, manly shaped with large cheekbones and a smaller, perfectly featured chin. Thick brows and dark, charming, piercing eyes are standing out on his tan face. White, almost silver, silky hair starts from the middle of his forehead and slightly waves to sides. It reaches his eyes level and grows longer from there till his neck, hides his slightly pointed ears. Thin, pale pink lips almost never curling in more then an ironic smile. His skin is tan and smooth but not gentle to the touch.

Philip is an average built up male. He's not too tall or too masculine yet you can't call him shorty or chubby. Usually he wears dark, comfortable clothes. The only jewel he ever wore is an old fashioned, golden ring with his name first letters engraved on it, a gift from his father.

Under the clothes Philip hides many scars that were received during his restless life, memories of his past battles, sigh to his surviving abilities. Some of the scars larger then the others, but all of then barely noticeable and pale. On his right shoulder a red demon is tattooed, watching the world crazily. Its tail is wrapped around Philip's arms as a snake.


History: As long as Philip remembers himself he was the most loved child in his family. He was born in an average family in Corone. His father was a fine fighter and his mother was wood elf. The child was spoiled by his parents, cousins and the rest of his adult siblings. His special ability he was born with, appeared at very young age, causing him to be different. At first his parents were surprised but accepted their uniquechild with love. He was a very talented, first at everything. That's the reason he never had friends. The children, his brothers and sisters were jealous, disliking the gifted child. Responding in showing off and a clear contempt, Philip grew up a loner. He spent most of his time alone, studying human behavior and explores their characteristics from side.
When he was ten years old a respectful looking priest suddenly arrived at their house. For some unknown reason(To Philip) the god follower saw in his family a threat for the church (and the human kind) and tried to get them all arrested. Philip never found up why the priest came against them, after all his family never harmed a fly and lived by laws of the country, but as a result his family was separated. He found himself in a orphanage, being marked as different, while his other brothers and sisters were sent away. The boy never saw them again.
He hated every moment he had to spend between the cold walls. Often punished for his sharp tongue, Philip ended running away in age of fifteen. Since then the youth hates church and anything related to it. The lone boy was collected by a local band and grew up as one of them. He had tried everything: drugs, alcohol, smoking, and criminal activities, trying to survive.
Currently Philip is 27 years old, has no friends but is feared by his enemies. He has many contacts in the criminal world (where he known mostly as Rust), which he earned by his sneaky, bloody ways. He shows no mercy to his victims but can play the most gentle and good person when he needs it.


Skills: Rust-Philip possesses the ability to cause metal to rust, allowing him to corrode most metallic substances. If it's a metal to skin contact (it can be any part of his body) the metal quickly turns into dust. Ferric metals (iron and steel) are easier for him to rust then any other metal or mix of metals and the process happens faster(5 min). If he'll try to do it without touching the object it'll take much more time(about 10 min or so) and Rust will end with a big headache. Philip can control any metal rust process's level till it'll turn to dust. Of course he's not able to turn on his abilities non stop, the bigger the mass of the object the more inner energy of his is spent on rusting it (the longer is the process). This fact leads to him being able to use this ability on no more then three-four objects in a day. He need to recharge his inner energy or he'll collapse in the near future. This ability saved his life many times, when he was assasinited by his rivals.

It's the reason Philip don't uses metal weapons and have to think about creative solutions when he stands again magic users and beasts of many kinds. Philip is athletic and and flexible as every Assassin should be and possess some knowledge in poisons.


Equipment: A simple belt that contains five beads with poisons/acids, each bead contains different kind of poison/acid(3 poison, 2 acid. mild damage). An interesting collection of very sharp bone needles and knifes that are safely hidden all over under his clothes(2 knives, 4 needles). He wears dark, loose cloak he can hide his (small enough) bow (10 bone tipped arrows) under and black clothes that allow him to move freely around.

I need you to curb your Rust ability. For now, you can corrode metals slowly, and I need to know how much you can do it in a day before getting exhausted.

I also can't let you have "rare" poisons or acids, and nothing that can do more than moderate damage. I also need a number of how many you have. You have a three hundred credit voucher for the Bazaar, so you can buy more in a little bit.

I have edited most of the things you asked me to change. But can we discuss the "you can corrode metals slowly"? If he does it slowly he can't use it at all in a battle and it not very usable, not at all.

How about you give him some average fighting skills (he does have bone knives), and say you can corrode ferric metals (iron and steel, most prone to rust) at a rate of something dagger-sized in five minutes?

Also, just to clarify, no dragonbone weapons for you at this level, okay?

And please state that the poisons/acids cause mild to moderate damage.

Well I have updated my profile. I hope it'll be fine now. About the rusting process that lasts 1 min..I think it's reasonable enough and I hope you'll agree with me. I mean it not prevents from him to be wounded aka not makes him too powerful.

All right, Karuka and I have discussed the registration of your character and there are a few things you're still leaving unclear.

Your collection of bone needles and knives: We need to know how many of each you have. Yes, I know it's a pain but you can't have an unspecified amount of them. I suggest two daggers and maybe four needles should be fine.

You have five beads with poison/acid in them, well how many have poison and how many have acid? Also, your poisons are only going to be moderately strong right now, they could kill someone eventually, but most people would seek a healer before that happens.

Your bow - Because you have other weapons right now, you can have 10 bone tipped arrows to use with your bow. You can pick up more in the Bazaar if you need them.

Your Rust ability - It seems the two of you are arguing back and forth about this. It doesn't seem like a very strong ability to you, but look at it this way. You're battling a weapons based character. During the battle, you rust away his steel sword and his steel armour in roughly three minutes. Now what? That character has no way to attack you and no way to defend himself. Not to mention he has to go to the Bazaar and by new equipment since you destroyed his old stuff. It doesn't seem powerful in your mind because it's only corroding metal, but used effectively you could easily cripple a character and then dispose of him as he couldn't really fight back. Not when he's only got his fists and feet and you have a long ranged weapon. By the way, you may pick one of your weapons (the bow and arrow or the daggers/needles) to have average skill in and the other to have below average skill in.

Well, I have edited my profile as you pleased. I hope this time it'll be final cause it started to tire me..

Well, I'm sorry to say but Karuka tried to tell you right from the beginning. Keep in mind right now you can only corrode Steel and Iron, also Althanas has a wide varieties of metal and I'm certain some of them can't even rust.

You are now approverized!
