Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Gaius Septimus

Nickname(s)/Alias(es): "Sep" "Gaius" (He discourages levity)
Race: Bount/Raven
Age: Appears to be in his early 30s. He was born sometime around 50BC and lived through the transition from the Roman Republic to that of the Empire. That makes him about 2060 years old.
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 215 lbs
Rank: 3rd- Zündstoff
Physical Description: He is very gruff and has a short military style haircut of charcoal grey hair. He beleives heavily in discipline and so keeps his body in peak physical condition. He is very strong and quick, looks like it as he is built very large and powerfully. His eyes are slate grey and flat. He has a permanent 5 o'clock shadow, also grey like his hair. He wears combat fatigues as they are the recent militaristic uniform of earth.
Personality: Gaius is as serious as can be. He doesn't take jokes well and commonly needs them explained when he does hear them. He beleives most strongly in discipline thanks to his militaristic life style. He has served in hundreds of services under one guise or another. He does care for others and won't impress his own beleifs upon them, or get angry when they joke and fool around. He rarely speaks and when he does it tends to be laconic and commonly monosyllabic. In battle just like everywhere else his outside demeanor is unnaffected and stern. However, occasionally, when an opponent actually challenges him, he will loosen up, and become a more talkative person, going along with the jokes and personality twists of others for fun. He however is quite protective of relatively young people and will put himself in harms way to protect them. Several lifetimes of serving in the military has taught him some basic tactics. But he is no leader at all. He isn't creative. But he is very good at following orders.

He fights the way he thinks, straightforward. He doesn't plan well and overwhelms his enemies with unrelenting ferocity, technique, speed, and power.

Special Accessories: The Gladius and the belt it resides in on his enormously muscled back. He doesn't wear it often, but he still possesses a set of high quality legion issue replica lorica. The armor worn by heavily armored troops in the legions. Stored with the Lorica in his home is a tower shield repaired and kept in good maintenance since his glory days.

Skills: Military Hand-to-hand techniques: This ranges from simple economic strikes to disable and subdue attacking opponents. To high-speed, high-level techniques he learned in several of the world's Black Ops programs.
Brutal Swordmanship: His first military kick was in the Roman Legions. He learned to use a Gladius with brutal efficiency, speed, and power. Nothing about the way he fights is flashy. It is dirty and gets the job done.
Vehicle and Gun generalist: He isn't an expert with any of them. But he can drive almost anything and shoot just about anything as long as it has a trigger and eyesight.
Multilingual: years of living among almost every civilization with an organized military has taught him every well known and used language on earth.

Doll: His name. Is Brutus. His personality is slightly similar to Gaius' but for several important differences. Brutus plans out his fights. He deceives and uses trickery and anything that will get the job done. He still beleives heavily in discipline and frowns upon mockery and tomfoolery, in that he is like Gaius. However the way he fights is completely different. Like every other doll, yelling "Ziege Dich" summons Brutus. He needs not take any special stance and can in fact summon him when the gladius is still sheathed if he wishes. The stone drops off and starts giving off a mist and covers in frost. It then quickly cracks open and tendrils drive out of the myriad cracks into the ground anchoring it as it grows. The plant keeps on growing and splitting until it is as tall as a two story house. It is covered in thorns and instead of being green or brown it is an icy blue with seemingly transparent surface. Numerous branches, vines, and roots serve as it's 'hands' 'feet' and other appendages. Soon after being released water vapor is frozen into a large icy mask with a perpetually smiling face and a winking eye. The stone Brutus is kept sealed has grown, is glowing, and giving off mist. It is in place of the open eye in the mask. The icy tendrils that make up Brutus are still sprouting from the stone. Throughout the entire transformation process great pulses of freezing reiatsu quickly cool the surrounding enviroment.

Brutus isn't exactly made of plant material or ice, but an odd unique combo of the two. The vines and more mobile parts of his body are made of a supple material that heals and grows very quickly but is also damaged relatively easily. The thicker parts, what would be considered his torso, what holds him up, the thickest parts of him. They don't grow as fast, but have thick coverings of an icy-bark-like substance on them making them far, far harder to cut or otherwise damage.


Doll Powers: Brutus's presence alone lowers the temperature in the immediate vacinity to around -20 degrees, low enough to cause frostbite in half an hour. Physically touching him for any length of time at all will freeze the surface skin or material instantly and the blood and inside tissues soon after. Gaius is of course immune to this radiating cold.

To be exact, his core, and the core of his various growths, is at absolute zero. After that he warms up by fifty degrees per inch away from the core. This warming halts at -100 degrees F. As such, the closer you are to his body, the colder it is. The longer he is released to colder the area will get. As stated before it begins at a mere -20 degrees and continues dropping if not halted in some way. It will halt at -100 degrees.

His thorns carry a poison that slows the heartbeat and other metabolic rates of those it effects. Increasing the effect the cold has even more.

He can release blasts of cooling reiatsu out in waves, this change in temperature is temporary, and within a few posts will warm back to where the atmosphere is at the time.

Brutus can also grow even more exponentially. His roots and other appendages can penetrate the ground and spring up elsewhere to attack, trap, and freeze enemies. Because of this he is kept stationary until resealed unless he can't root down correctly.

Brutus can grow almost endlessly and extremely quickly under the correct circumstances. The more of him there is the faster he becomes, the stronger, smarter, and colder. Basically the more there is the more powerful each of his attributes become. So as the battle winds on the enviroment will get colder and colder, if his growth is somehow checked the dropping temperature will slow, but not stop.

In regards to other heat manipulation abilities: Brutus himself is Almost immune to anything directly manipulating his own heat, or lack of it. Cooling him down helps him, and heating him up takes tons more energy than would normally be needed for ice or a plant just because it is so cold and dense. Extreme amounts of heat may weaken him, but is not enough to kill, defeat, or counter his abilites, on it's own.

Sealed Form: A wickedly sharp Roman legionares gladius made of a black metal and engraved ivory hilt. It isn't the entire gladius but is just the icy-blue gemstone with the mark of the bount engraved on the inside embedded in the pommel.

Doll Fusion: Appearance: He turns Icy blue and gains the mask that Brutus usually sports. He is now composed of the plant material Brutus is, just much better sculpted into the shape of Gaius. He is completely coated in the thick extremely hard icy armor that covers Brutus' thickest sections.

Powers/Abilities: Poisonous thorns can sprout from wherever he likes. He can plant a miniature Brutus (Half the max size of the original) that is unintelligent and needs commands but will assist in battle. Temperature immediately drops too -80, or by 60, degrees, whichever is lower. Just like before the temperature will still coninually drop, although at a slower pace. Limbs can extend and fire off connected to the rest of the body by vines. The longer he roots down and stays in one spot the larger he grows. He can reach a max size of two stories. Anything he touches automatically freezes solid, can easily be shattered with a slight hit. Keeps all of Bount abilites. Hurt along with Brutus.

His core temp remains at Absolute Zero. Only while they are fused every inch after that warms by 25 degrees. This halts at -120 degrees on his surface. Each and every post the surrounding enviroment will cool by 1 degree every post. Finally halting at -120. Although nothing is likely to survive such temperatures.

Biography/History:Gaius was born during the days of the ancient Roman empire. He has forgotten the majority of his past but he does remember those first days quite well. He served his terms in the legions. Secretly sneaking out at night to absorb souls to remain alive. He rose as high as he could in the ranks of non-commisioned officers and eventually had to "die" as people were becoming suspicious of his lack of aging. From there it was a life of constant training and fighting. Moving from country to country. Military to Military. Recently he has completed another term of service with the US Black Op forces. He was in the middle of the mission when he was recruited to join the Bounto finally. He and his recruiter set off an explosion in the complex he was infiltrating, completing the mission, and successfully faking his death.

Gaius has undergone the ascension from a normal everyday Bount to that of the Ravens. He has undergone fierce and strenuous training to bring out the power of his Mark and other Raven abilities.
