Name: Macsen
Nicknames: No.
Hobbies:If it fits, I sits. At one point in a distant part of his life this might have been something akin to yoga-- finding a comfortable position, no matter how uncomfortable it might appear visibly to others, and tapping in to a moment of
zen. Perhaps it's part of why Macsen, whoever he was before, took on a more feline appearance as a youma. Perhaps it's just coincidence. No matter the reason, finding places to perch in one pose or another is something that Macsen enjoys greatly.
Soothes the beast... Macsen enjoys listening to
music. If given a moment of his own time he can sometimes be found lurking outside of venues in the art district, hoping to catch a glimpse of
something from the buildings within. Macsen has been known to return to the Rift with music playing devices that he's liberated during ventures topside-- mp3 players, an old walkman.... Anything to connect him to the sounds of music.
Virtues:Stoic - No matter the circumstances, Macsen maintains his composure, ready and willing to endure without voicing complaint. This trait, once something that made him solid as a rock, supportive and dedicated in his previous life, has made him the ideal youma for accompanying an impulsive officer.
Protective - At some point in his life before Macsen might have had a family, or
someone he was close to-- someone he considered important enough to keep
safe. Now it isn't just being commanded to do so that keeps him true to looking out for those under his care that keeps him on task, it's the strong feeling that doing so is
right because it's what he's always done.
Flaws:Aloof - Macsen is entirely uninterested in most things, sometimes to the point of expressing distaste in the form of narrowed eyes and other disgruntled looks. This cool, distant demeanor may be a nod to his stone-like appearance, or it could simply be a way that the man he once was kept himself safe.
Self-Justifying - The ends justify the means. Whatever he has to do to justify his actions he will, especially providing doing so nets results that fall in line with the orders he's been given. Nothing is off limits.
Nothing.
-----
Appearance: Bulky, muscular; a looming, protective presence. Think a wingless gargoyle with feline attributes (
Ref). Coat coloration is that of a silver tabby, more black than silver with the occasional teal/blue highlight. A spattering of crystals have grown here and there, creating a look almost like a pauldron in appearance (
Ref)
Youma Ability #1: Vanish Point - While in a resting position/lying still, Macsen is able to render themselves invisible. If they move slowly while invisible it is possible to see their outline or notice the 'distortion' of the background behind them, as though being viewed through a water droplet on a window. Any quick or sudden movement, such as attacking or running, will break the invisibility.
Can only be used once per encounter.Youma Ability #2: Stone Skin - The crystals embedded in Macsen's skin begin to glow and during that time he seems impervious to harm in that magic attacks aren't as effective and physical blows seem to require twice the effort to make a dent.
Can only be used once per encounter. Duration 30 seconds. Macsen does not have a backstory. He does not remember anything about the life he lead before. He is a youma, completely dedicated to the darkness and currently expressing such in service to General Tourmaline.
