Gender: Male
Age: 25
Category: Sun - Offensive missions lend themselves best to his fearless attitude.

Name: Traciel

Type of Weapon: A massive two handed Lochaber axe, classed for obvious reasons as a heavy weapon.

Gender: Male

Personalities
Repent
(-)Arrogant -
Repent is to be blunt, a self obsessed a*****e. His arrogance is such that the only person that matters to him in his little world is himself. Consequence of this is he struggles to make honest friendships as other people will always be, in his mind, a step below himself. Any pleasantness towards other people is generally a ploy to further his own personal goals.
(-)Ignorant-
Stupid but not endearingly so, it takes a while to realise that part of Rep's callousness is down to sheer ignorance. Intellectual pursuits are of no interest to him, should something fall outwith his rather narrow interests it is deemed to be someone else's problem. The upswing of this however is that he will enact most orders without a word of dissent, he's not interested enough to want to know the intel behind the commands, simply what to hit and how hard.
(+)Honest -
Rep is honest by sheer virtue of not being smart enough to convincingly lie. What he says can generally be taken as the truth and a genuine reflection of his thoughts. When he does try to lie, it's usually with such a blatant underestimation of the addressed person's intelligence as to be insulting.
(+)Obsessive-
The few things that Rep truly cares about, he cares about with a blazing almost obsessive edge, they consume his life, his soul, every fibre of his being. This passion also bleeds over into physicality, a man of limited emotional scope, he falls on the side of carnality, if it brings pleasure, he literally cannot have enough of it. This covers anything from battle to his myriad on and off addictions pre-island.
(+/-)Manly - Rep's attitudes towards various subjects leave a great deal to be desired. He takes a very dim veiw of women, seeing them primarily as objects and harbouring a deep mistrust of them in positions of authority. He is equally disparaging of men who for whatever reason don't keep to his cultural standards of manly. He's not generally afraid to voice these opinions either. He values his masculinity above almost all else, and it is for this reason that he works out as much as he does, intending to keep himself fighting fit, should a fistfight ever erupt.

Weapon

Tracey

(+)Gentle

Gently spoken in life, Tracey retains this feature as a weapon, patiently speaking to Rep as if he was hard of thinking, never rising to his anger, never fuelling the flames of his obsessions.
(+)Persistant

Though he seems passive, Tracey is capable of getting through to Rep via sheer determined persistance. He keeps right on repeating advice until it eventually erodes its way into the man's thick skull. Immovably reasonable its impossible for Rep to compete in a contest of patience with the angel.
(+)Ordered

He extols the virtue of order and self control at every juncture, despising Rep's wildly chaotic whims, emotions and infatuations, attempting to be the temperance to his excesses.

Why did your human character choose to become a Hunter?
Repent's life before Deus was a fairly tough one. He had the misfortune to be born to parents unsuited to raising a child, his mother combating a heroin addiction and his father in and out of prison regularly for drug related offences. He slipped through the net of social workers and grew up without prospect of rescue from the poverty his family inhabited. Living on the estate his main source of entertainment was the local gangs or young teams, recreational drinking and a huge amount of antisocial behaviour. He learned fast that anything you wanted in life you had to take since no one would give you it and you'd never be smart enough to earn it. Learning to fight was the path of least resistance. His childhood came and went in a flurry of exclusions from school and before he knew it he was an adult, no longer able to binge drink and take drugs without consequence, no longer dealing with children with children's weapons but grown men with grown men's grievances. Somewhere along the line he took a blade to the face, left with a scar across the bridge of his nose which to even the low paying jobs he applied to left him basically unemployable. So he stuck with the friends he had, the barely a life he led, convinced all the drink and drugs were making him slowly go insane, certain he was starting to see things, shadows out of the corner of his eye, some sensation of wrongness that wouldn't ease up or go away.
And then one day he was offered a choice, a choice to leave the shitty downward slope his life was on, a chance to fight something that would make a difference, to slough off the noose that was his circle of friends and to make a difference. He felt by making that choice he wouldn't even be leaving anything of consequence behind, he had no family, he had never had true trustworthy friends. So he took the choice, and would hope to succeed in the trial thereafter with a combination of utter desperation and disregard for personal safety.

Weapon Ability
Fury - Battle Cry - Tracey lends a bit of his abilities to a blow, striking harder.


Physical Description:

Eye Colour: Rep's eyes are a striking blue with an inner fleck of green pigment around his pupils.
Hair Colour/Style: His hair is slightly longer than shoulder length, loud ginger in colour with flecks/highlights of blonde near the ends leftover from attempts to dye the colour into submission.
Skin Colour: Pale and freckled liberally.
Clothing Style/Colours: Very long red scarf, with his jacket typically tied around his waist. Underneath the jacket he wears comfortable casual clothing, usually some manner of tank top to show off the tribal tattoos on his arms.
Extra: On his arms he has red tribal style markings similar to runes in design, and two gold hoop earrings in the upper part of each ear.

He does not need a bigger axe.

It is big enough.

Bumping this back up smile Looking for crits on this chap, want him to be the best he can possibly be. Have a lot of stuff I want to update and clarify too.

And I just noticed on his concept art he's wearing a watch. I don't think conventional timepieces even work on the island. Derpderp. Lots to do. Even looking for potential suggestions for alternate divisions he might suit and the like, any input is lovingly valued smile

HI THERE.

Okay, I like him because we could always use some more not very nice guys on Deus side, but realistically, if you had been doing drugs/alcohol for a while, there's no way that you would be really healthy; to have a physically fit body, you have to... Well, take proteins (expensive if they are pills/powder) and/or really work out. His art shows him with the body of someone who works out on a regular basis at the gym... Not someone who was desperate to get out of the pit that was their life.

(+/-)Proud
^ I'm guessing that this trait was mostly developed after he was given a purpose? It sounded to me, from his history, that he might had valued himself but he still did drugs/alcohol... >_>;

Hunters only recruit people who are physically able to protect themselves; they must be fit at the very least! Think of how they do check-ups before recruiting people into the army during war! (: How physically fit was Rep? Why/How was he that physically fit despite his lifestyle?

If he was at least "fit", perhaps you could have him looking like your average person (maybe with broader shoulders to show his history of getting into fights) in his Trainee art, but whenever he gets to the point where he earned his promotion, request for art showing him as being more buffed/muscular? There are lots of training facilities on the island, so it's totally possible for him to work out! In this way, his art reflects his development~

Just food for thought! (:

You have a point, indeed, I mainly based him on some of the guys we have here who are in gangs and the like, they still tend to be in prime physical condition even though they do recreational drugs and drink, perhaps not bodybuilder material ofc but still lean and fit. A lot of them tend to do boxing and the like and are big, broad and muscled but without perhaps the bodybuilder edge. Reguarding drugs, he wouldn't be into heroin or the really destructive drugs, since in that case even deus wouldn't be able to save him, he wouldn't be physically capable of escaping his life and the offer'd come way too late. But yeah a lot of the discrepancy is in his art, I'm just not that good at illustrating a fit but not completely prime physical condition physique I imagine.

As for pride, yeah, it'd be more strongly developed after joining deus and getting into the swing of things, though he's always been proud. A lot of it I think might be based on the cultural thing here, people don't class drugs or alcohol as truly destructive things. Alcohol is something that makes you more credible in the eyes of your peers. Makes you a "hard man", more feared. If you can drink someone under the table, you are king for a night and the like. That sort of culture would tie right into his pride. He wouldn't see recreational drinking as destructive when he did it, he'd see it as another notch in his manliness belt, which is generally how its classed here in Scotland, people tend to start drinking at 14 in houses and stuff with parents blessing, at least where I live. Ditto with recreational drugs like weed/cocaine/acid, people aren't all that fussed about them, they are seen more as a plus than anything completely negative. The unfit guy stereotype doesn't generally kick in till much later in life, when their body can no longer keep up with their occupations.

But yeah, I verrry much value the input, its a lot of food for thought, and really like the idea of him starting out in his trainee art more average and getting progressively fitter, as he likely would without his usual distractions to pull him away and his usual pride to temper it. There's a good few things I'll need to change/clarify etc, again a bit of a collision of cultural values I think.

Thankyou VERY much for feedback though biggrin D *giddy* Gives me lots more to work with!

Changed up proud to be a little more fitting of what I meant I hope smile

PostPosted: Tue Jan 31, 2012 4:38 am


Ohhh! Thanks for the clarification! That does make a lot of sense @ cultural differences! Oh man, now I'm imagining him getting all the boys into drinking contests, ending with him and Robert going at it since everyone else had been knocked out. |D

Like so.
