General Information
Name: Ryne Kurtz
Age: 17
Birthdate: 3/19
Race: Human
Hometown: Requiscat
Character Type: Gifted
Powers: Shadow Mimicry (2 slots); Ryne is able to use his powers to control shadow. This power in particular allows him to secrete shadow from his body and control said shadows telekinetically. He is able to meld himself with shadow making him impossible to see by a light dependent vision. Furthermore, he is able to move through his shadows unimpeded and ten times his normal movement speed. This is a unique ability that has become known as a ‘shadow step’. He can also use his shadows to sense objects within them. He is able to extend his shadows to a comfortable range of 3 meters all around and 10 meters in a single direction, though he has been known to elongate them to 30 meters with harsh repercussions.
Chi Augmentation (1 slot); Ryne is able to enhance his physical traits by using Chi. This allows him to move faster, hit harder, jump higher, and have an overall enhanced physical prowess. However, he is unable to externally control his chi[/font]
Weapon
Weapon Type 1: Technological
Weapon Class 1: Greatsword; Outfitted with gears that allow the blade to swivel like a Swiss-army knife. On the back of the blade are thrusters that can be kicked into gear to provide extra leverage in an attack. The thrusters are powered by a main engine under the pommel. This engine is attached to the blade and heats the metal while running. Furthermore, the greatsword can be split into two smaller swords to be used single handed.
Weapon Type 2: Technological
Weapon Class 2: Dual Pistols; A pair of long-barreled pistols to be used at close to mid-range. These pistols fire impact rounds that hit like a punch. Another variation of ammo Ryne uses are smoke pellets that release a cloud of black smoke upon impact that lingers in the air.
Character Details
Appearance: He is a tall boy, roughly five feet eleven inches. He has a thin build, athletic from training, but still rather thin and frail looking. Sitting on his head is brown medium length hair that falls about his face. He has thin eyebrows and light green eyes. his mouth is normally set in a small line across his face, but there is the hint of an downward curve at the corners. He has a long neck that sets the stage for a slightly longer body. He has a light, white tone to his skin and a baritone voice. He stands tall and confident, his shoulders slightly back and his steps sure and balanced.
He normally wears black in a long-sleeved outfit that covers as much of him as possible. He normally sports a jacket over a white t-shirt with black pants held with a belt and black shoes. On his neck, he wears a silver necklace with a wing on it. On the inside of his jacket are holsters where he keeps his dual pistols. On his back is a harness he uses to hold his greatsword while it's collapsed. On his hands are two black leather gloves to complete the look. He can as often be found in his school uniform, a blue sport coat over a white dress shirt and blue dress pants with the same black shoes. Even in his school uniform he carries about his pistol holsters and greatsword harness. He doesn't wear his gloves, but he still has them on him in a pocket, just in case.
Personality: Ryne is, in a word, carefree. He enjoys relaxing and taking things easy, maybe sitting under a tree and reading a book by himself. He certainly enjoys doing so more than keeping others company, but he is a personable and gregarious person in his own right. One might say he is patient, another might say that he has a [short temper, both would be right to some extent. He is typically patient with others, but when he's ticked he's on a hair-trigger. He is adaptive, changing as the need arises yet is stubborn and might be seen as something of a rebel seeing as he hates conforming to appease 'society'. He's loyal to his friends, a bane to his enemies, and an overall dependable person. He does, however, have a tenancy to be lazy at times. He never does anything without thinking it over, this is a blessing as well as a curse because this means that it takes time for him to make decisions. Then again, one could say that he's decisive when he does.
His biggest fear would be undeath. He's never been a fan of zombies and even less of ghouls or geists. While it isn't a crippling fear, he'd sooner run away from them than fight one. He also is afraid of dogs. This includes the domestic sort as well as wild dogs or even fenris wolves. Be it between a fenris wolf and a dragon, he'd rather take on the dragon. His goals include becoming a Terraformer and protecting Requiscat with his powers as well as furthering his education to take on the mantel of his parents, furthering research for the colony and perhaps one day finding a solution to their situation.
Character Background
Living Family: Don Kurtz (father), Betty Kurtz (mother), Mr. Falkon (Butler)
History: Born in the city of machines and technology, he was fortunate to be in an influential family. Since the formation of the colonies, wealth was abundant and very unevenly distributed. His family was one of those families who benefited from the uneven distribution of wealth, being researchers spearheading the development of the Terraformers Corps. It was them who developed the Requiscat's College of the Body, recruiting gifted from both colonies and inviting them into the college to further harness their powers. Ryne's life in particular, was much less notable. While his parents were out developing protocol for dealing with the monsters, theories for Yggdrasil and its connection with magics and mutations, and regiments implemented for Terraformer use in gaining control of their powers, he was at home alone. Mr. Falkon, the head butler, had been a substitute father for as long as the young boy could remember, the half-blood goat taking on the role with enthusiasm. For the longest time
