Royal Guard Phanes « Reply #1 on Apr 28, 2009, 6:46am »
Name: Orpheus "Phanes" Laenthal
Age: Looks in his late twenties but is eons old.
Height: 5'7"
Weight: A fluctuating scale from 70 kgs- possibly 89kgs (Depends on how he maintains his physical well-being during that time; 90 kgs being when he built his body massive with brimming muscles. This year he is around 78kgs in an athletic build covered in lean muscular structure.)
Personality: A very confusing mix of emotions that are result to his moods and whim. He is a prism of pathos and hardly ever exposes one emotion long enough to be called his dominating character. He is masochistic at times as well as sadistic in others, he relishes the pain of what he deems opponents but is also inclined to enjoying peaceful meditations by brooks or company of people in a halcyon harmony.
Distinguishing Trait: Phanes is often noticed by a small knife slit near his carotid artery on the left side of his nape and usually prefers to handle situations with the utmost moral and ethical answers when being confronted unjustly. He usually retracts back to his primal instincts to kill when matters aren't given any chance to remedy.
Physical Appearance: Phanes isn't a tall man but that doesn't mean he lacks much aptitude in terms of turning his body into a weapon. He is covered in chiseled muscles to help pull along the very structure of his bones into more power and speed that also grants the angles of his body with enough crush pressure when performing certain intricate techniques of martial arts.
A mat of gnarled locks adorn his head and lightly cascade down to his shoulders in a wavy mess, usually disciplined by a bind or cord to tie it into a pony tail. He exhumes an appearance of an athlete but his body's shape and speed defy that claim with evident hardness of the bones and reformed wrists from countless times of abusing the anatomy; signs of a martial artist. He does not posses a full range of abdominals as a choice of flexibility, only owning but a pair of four on the upper region of his viscera and a trailing tight bulge that slides down to his pelvic region with formed obliques and a well formed and bulked back; trapezius and lumbar section chiseled formed from countless times grappling to survive. His appendages aren't excessively bulged but possess strength from varieties of martial practices such as weilding armaments to fighting hand to hand.
Though he had been in countless wars and battles, the only scar evident on his chiseled domicile is a small slit mark at the side of his nape. He usually dons a shawl that drapes over his head and melds with his physique without obscuring his bare chest that is usually covered by a large pendant in the form of a crescent moon. He wears something akin to shorts but in reality were torn up leggings from countless miles of harsh travel, reduced to be but an inch higher than his knees when he tore them to that size while passing a barren desert.
He has the usual "Karambit" daggers in his hands; the spinning handle encircled on each index finger with the blades curved towards the front from the lower part of a fist. A sword does vacciliate from the side of his hip in a leather sheath by a leather strapped loop loosely wrapped around his waist and his feet, though cared for with leather sandals, do possess metallic heel attachments to cover the achilles tendons till the base of the peds, where the soles would begin.
Physical Abilities: Mastery of various hand to hand martial arts with some knowledge of swordplay, knife fighting and polearm.
Magical (Anima) Abilities: None that are offensive but possesses affinities to some elements and immunity to most magical properties. His body is a generator of a negation aura that usually dulls or nullifies most magick attack thrown his way. He got this ability by visiting a temple and accidentally falling into a well that was supposedly enchanted to grant longevity, long lasting health and immunity to all illnesses.
He has a natural understanding of how the spiritual i.e magickal flux and stream of energy reacts and maneuveurs around the world, giving him an innate knowledge of how spells and such work: where the energy is pulled from, distorted, mixed or corrupted to give him a slight clue as to how to combat such abominations of true magick.
Weaponry:
Selene and Luna - The names he gave to his karambit daggers, known to be one of the deadlies knives ever created since their function was to slice an opponent as they perform natural defensive reactions of retracting limbs away from their opponent after striking; possibly hooking the curved crescent of the blades unto the returning limb's structure.
Ares - The name he game to his longsword as he never brandished the edge even when drenched with blood now making it part blunt from coagulated blood hardened over parts of the blade and part edge.
