Name: Adrian Frost
Nickname:
Gender/Pronoun: Cismale he/him
Age: 25
Birthday: 06.03.96 (going off old profile as current)
School/Occupation: Wandering gunslinger Temp job working construction. There's always something broken in DC.
Hobbies:
Tattoo Hobbyist - So, art doesn't come easy. Turns out there are people with talent, who know how to use a pencil in the right way or whatever, people who look at things the right way and know how to render value, then there's people who are just damn bad at it. That's Adrian, he's damn bad at it. He knows he's damn bad at it. That's why he's working on an unpaid apprenticeship and practicing drawing on the side. He can do Pacman tattoos now, and Mickey Mouse ears, and he's surprisingly good with text and handwritten tattoos, but anything that requires an artistic eye? Above his paygrade right now.
Poker - Adrian has always enjoyed poker. Got pretty swell at it, too, he'll tell anyone. Poker is about the only area in his life where he plans ahead, and it's served him well -- he's won some pretty hefty pots, usually at people's houses and get-togethers. He stays out of casinos whenever possible, lest he win too much and the house gets pissed off. He doesn't play as much as he used to, but he still kept an edge about himself. He almost got knifed over it once, and now he mostly sticks to playing with known figures. Friends, friends of friends and such.
Virtues:
Confident — Adrien knows he's hot. He knows he's got a consistent job, and parents that love him, and a future if he wanted it, and he can handle things on his own. When he's walking into the unknown, he carries that confidence with him. He knows that, whatever he's facing, he's bringing a solid set of skills to the table. He can take on anything he wants to do, and if he doesn't want to do it, he can probably sweet talk someone else into wanting to do it instead.
Independent — It wasn't that his family was unsupportive, they just had other affairs to occupy them. That didn't mean Adrian was neglected, but he had a good chunk of alone time growing up that he learned to spend around the neighborhood. He lived in a decent area, so he spent a number of hours visiting open garages and playing with other kids in his neighborhood. He learned to make his own lunches and dinners when his parents weren't home. Now, as an adult, Adrien vastly prefers to be self-sufficient. Not to the point of growing his own food, but he relies only on his own paycheck and only on his own judgment. It's gotten him this far.
Carefree — Adrian isn't fazed by much. s**t happens, and life moves on. He's spent some time in crime scene decontamination, cleaning up after people 'after the fact'. After seeing all the things that could happen to a person, he's felt like not much can top that. And if something does? He knows he'll get used to that, too. So if a bill's late and his mom's asking for money again and he slept through half his shift, whatever, he's seen worse. It's not the end of the world. And even if it's the end of him, life marches on.
Flaws:
Apathetic — Adrian doesn't have anything, besides himself, to which he commits himself. While he likes poker, and he wants to make money doing tattoos in an air-conditioned parlor instead of drilling holes into beams 50 feet up on a hot summer day, he wouldn't call those things passions. And he's not very interested in other people beyond what they can do for him. There aren't any high-and-mighty causes that called him to task, like charity numbers or political parties or whatever. As a result, he's kind of a societal scab.
Careless — Everything's going to be fiiiine. Even if someone's about to shoot him in the face, Adrian is certain things will turn out okay. The gun will jam, or someone will save him, or an act of god will intervene. Right? Adrien doesn't take care to plan ahead or scrutinize any path he takes because he doesn't need to. Dumb luck carried him this far. It's been everyone else that died, not him. Life just carries him wherever he needs to go, and he doesn't have to worry about a thing.
Untrustworthy — All that charisma? All that pizazz? It's more like a thoughtless investment, and sometimes, investments need to be liquidated. He might play nice to someone's face, follow their directions, tell them they look pretty while he's doing it, but he isn't necessarily honest about it. And if a better opportunity comes along from someone else? If he has to throw the first person under the bus to get that opportunity, he will. It's not a planned affair, the first person was just a victim of circumstance. In a mission and someone expects Adonis to stick his neck out and risk death? Nah, sorry fam.
Altered attacks: number of uses on super, eternal changed.
Basic: Skinned
Range: 20 feet
Duration: 20 seconds
Number of uses: 3
Number of targets: 1
Adonis holds his arms out, palms up, and the gloves on his uniform burn away. The change is mimicked in his targeted opponent, who he must make eye contact with, and they feel the effects of a mild chemical burn. They see a few layers of skin peeling off, some irritation, and some decent pain. Only occurs on the arms, and can be interrupted by attacking Adonis before his uniform manifests any changes, preventing him from making eye contact, or by shutting him up somehow before he can utter the name of the attack. Once the duration ends, their body goes back to normal (as does his uniform).
Super: Skinned Alive
Range: 20 feet
Duration: 15 seconds
Number of uses: 2
Number of targets: 1
Executed in the same manner as his basic attack, Adonis casts Skinned Alive by brushing his hands across any part of his uniform, which melts away for the duration of the attack. The change is mimicked in his targeted opponent, who he must make eye contact with, and they feel the effects of their skin being removed from their body. The affected area appears bloody, and the opponent suffers extreme pain akin to the name of the attack. It can be interrupted by attacking Adonis before his uniform manifests any changes, preventing him from making eye contact, or by shutting him up somehow before he utters the name of the attack. Once the duration ends, their body goes back to normal (as does his uniform).
Eternal: Adonic Brand
Range: 10' cone
Duration: 5 seconds for lashing, 30 seconds for energy leak
Number of uses: 2
Number of targets: Up to 5
After naming the attack, dark energy lashes out in front of Adonis. Those hit by the attack will look and feel as if their skin was ripped off where the energy lacerated them. They will see open wounds where the skin is completely gone. Instead of blood, energy will leak out. The amount of energy that leaks is dependent on the severity of the injury (read as: defending player's discretion). A knight may lose enough energy to short themselves 10 seconds on their casting pool, or a senshi may lose enough energy to short themselves one use of their basic attack. However, amounts lost can go up from there.
The target character's skin will return to normal with no lasting damage after the attack unless the player wants there to be lasting damage! The energy stays lost until they recover it naturally (eating/sleeping/taking a rest).
