Personalities:Roland: - Quiet: Roland was never an outspoken person, from a young age people mocked him for having his heads in the cloud and always in a book. As a result he always kept things to himself. If no one would believe his stories then why should he bother to share anything? Since then he’s always kept a low profile marking him as that odd, but quiet kid.
-Polite: He isn’t an angry person, or rude, as a matter of a fact when he does talk to people it’s always in a calm level tone. Stemming from his quiet nature he tends to never raise his voice when getting into any kind of confrontation. Rather than fighting or getting loud he would rather quietly go about the problem quietly and civil, but that doesn’t always work out…
-Pushover: He’s too polite, too quiet, and too non-confrontational. As a result both weapon and others can easily push him around. When he can’t talk someone out of something he’ll just end up bending over backwards and end up doing what they asked or going along with it.
-Distracted/Skittish: Of course being so quiet he’s often absorbed in his own thoughts lately, it doesn’t help he often has a pair of headphones on (explained later; Blame Sylvia) he tends to keep to his own little world and can often lead to him not really paying attention to a job at hand, or being startled even by small things day to day throwing him for a loop.
Sylvia- Confident: Where Roland is timid and quiet, Sylvia is the opposite, talkative, cocksure, and eager to prove herself even if it means nagging and pushing Roland onward towards something for her own amusement. It does have it’s drawbacks though…
-Arrogant: Silvya has and continues to feel she’s superior to humans. After all even now she needs to be used as a weapon to help Humans fight her own former kind. Sometimes it results in strain in her and Roland getting along, it also leads to her pushing too hard on Roland. Sometimes pushing on Roland to act can help it can also back fire badly for both of them by pushing them to make decisions that end poorly for them both.
-Curious: Though she deems herself above her hunter, and his peers she is easily infatuated with their daily lives. With everything Roland does Sylvia watches with a curious eye of a constant observer often chiming in on things in his daily life curious with question. If anything at least it keeps Roland talking to someone, even if it is a voice only in his head.
-Singing: She likes to sing, she’s rather good at it too. It’s a shame she does it far too often and Roland can often be found listening to music in an attempt to drown his own weapons constant humming and singing when she has a ‘mood’ about her.
Why did your human character choose to become a Hunter? Roland was always a story teller, he had imaginary friends all his life and was often kept to himself rather than being outgoing with others. For a long while it was just that, his imagination, but more and more often odd things would happen sometimes. Things would seems to move out the corner of his eye, and objects where never in the place he left them in the house. His mother and father both noticed the later as well and would often ask Roland if he was moving things. His response of course was to mention the ‘thing’ he would catch out the corner of his eyes, wispy clear, invisible, and only he could see it.
Eventually he would learn that it was a ghost, a Poltergeist that was feeding on his parents FEAR and paranoia. For now the mysterious figure he only ever saw out the corner of his eye would haunt his family causing strain on his parents, who in turn took it out on Roland. The longer it went on the more aggressive it would get. Throwing objects around behind his parents back while he was there leaving him to take the blame. Eventually his family would move, his father a military man being stationed on another base would send him from the sunny south of Florida to the chill of Massachusetts.
For a while everything seemed okay, but his parents where already splitting hairs over little things, fighting arguing, blaming their son for half their troubles. All the while the quitter he grew. Things didn’t end well either, as whatever started the job back in Florida, found them again once his father returned from oversea services in the army. The end result was a massive storm of flying objects during a family dinner. His father would be diagnosed with post-traumatic stress syndrome, his mother would file for divorce and all the while everyone ignored what Roland saw, a small group took interest in it.
With a family in shambles a mother who didn’t trust a word he said, a father locked away for his mental health the only thing left was an option. To listen to what these strangers in white coats had to offer, the truth at a heavy price and a chance to prevent something like this from happening to others if he agreed to go with them.
Weapon Ability Wailing Wall: Roland triggers the FEAR charge before cutting a large slice into the air while Silvia lets out a mournful wail so powerful it creates a barrier of sound to stop attacks (Barrier Y1)
Physical Description: Eye Colour: brown
Hair Colour/Style: Brown short cut coming just down past his ears
Skin Colour: Pale cream. Freckles along the bridge of his nose
Clothing Style/Colours: Wears his jacket normally it’s a longer coat split into two coat tails actually coming down past his knees. His scarf dark gold with trim of red is worn wrapped around his right arm. Rest of his outfit can be made as you desire.
Extra: He’s a bit smaller than most folks standing 5’5 and looking fairly meek
References: His weapon is a combination of the left and right most
scythes. Coloring and blade of the left one, with the right one’s handle bar, the female figure is also clothed in a robe that becomes part of the blade if that makes sense? Think pale blues, greens, whites and a banshee in a dress before sporting a blade like the left most one, solid glass with a clear foggy look to it
He also wears a fairly large set of headphones that cover his ears around his neck for blocking out Silvya when she sings.
