The Man
-
"Andino" manly, brave. Variant of English Andrew; "Drago" dragon; "Likos" wolf; "Nicoli" Victorious, conqueror of people.
Age: Appears to be in his mid-thirties, but his true age is undisclosed.
Birthday: March 1st, year unrecorded.
Gender: Male (XY).
Species: Predominantly appears to be human.
Breed: Draconic-Werewolf Hybrid.
Sexuality: Heterosexual. He scores a solid zero on the Kinsey Scale; "Exclusively heterosexual."
Relationship Status: The man is thoroughly uninterested in any form of monogamous relationship.
Physical Structure: He's exceptionally tall (6'8") and is solidly built, weighing a grand total of 346 lbs. The majority of his mass consists of well constructed muscle. To those smaller than himself, he's quite the intimidating figure. Adding to his weight, is the density of his bones and scaling.
Facial Structure: The shape of his face is considered "square" and the majority of its construction it quite sharply featured. He has quite a strong jawline that's often shadowed with facial hair. His cheekbones are quite pronounced and strongly featured to further flatter his jawline. His eyes are almond shaped and slightly sunken; his irises are a vibrant lime green that often betray the predatory intentions lurking behind them, and his pupils are vertically slit (resembling reptilian eyes). A lot of his emotions are portrayed through his eyes rather than his facial expressions as a whole.
Complexion: Olive with several distinguishing scars.
Hair: Cut short, styled messily, and dark chestnut brown.
Native Tongue: Being born and raised in Italy, the man has embraced his native language and utilizes it whenever possible.
Secondary Languages: He's a well traveled soul and is therefore multilingual; Irish Gaelic, French, Greek, German being the languages he's come to master.
Primary Tongue: Considering his location he primarily utilizes the English language, although he possesses quite the hybrid of an accent. When you disregard the accent, his voice resembles that of the Phantom.
Note: This is a new character and he's currently under very heavy development. During this process I am most definitely open for role play because he will certainly be a long term character.
I'd eat you alive.
Scarring: Andino is an immortal creature with supernatural healing capabilities but he is not completely impervious to injury or means of permanent damage; the likelihood of such is simply minimized. How does one succeed in permanently scarring such a beast even when in his most complicated form? Pure silver and werewolves; The element isn't toxic to the brute but its magical elements rapidly inhibit his healing capabilities and results in wounds being unable to heal to their usually efficient extent. Fellow werewolves for some unknown reason possess the ability to inflict wounds that inhibit (although to minimal extents) his healing capabilities, whether it be through biting or utilization of claws. Being such a hot tempered man prone to displays of hostility and displays of aggression, he's certainly thrown himself into some messy situations. As a result of such aggression he's found himself decorated with memorabilia from such events, some more defining than others.
- A circular scar about two inches in diameter just above his right hip (front and back), giving the impression that at one point or another something forcefully punctured right through his abdomen. There is nerve damage surrounding the entry site and the old wound can become quite painful when the flesh surrounding the area is stimulated.
- His left tricep holds multiple scars that bare a striking resemblance to that of bite wound inflicted by a canine; a werewolf. Whatever the beast, the mouth had to have been large and certainly did a number on the man's arm at some point for the scarring is still relatively grotesque.
- There's an extensive collection of smaller scars that mar his otherwise flawless olive complexion; ranging from bite wounds to scratches. All of which are relatively unnoticeable unless one is counting the man's previous war wounds.
Scales and Hide: Because of his draconic lineage Andino has gained several advantageous perks from having a relatively unique hide. Although his flesh doesn't (at first glance) appear any different from that of a human, it is distinguishably different. Generally, the most predominantly distinguishable traits are covered with clothing. There are several unique traits physically discoverable with further exploration. All of these traits contribute greatly towards his natural line of defense.
- His entire body is covered with a very thick hide that cannot be easily pierced. In comparison to leather armor, it can easily be considered more superior and more durable. Despite its durability, it's not entirely impervious.
- Starting at the base of his skull, running down the entire length of his spine (expanding outwards by two inches on either side) and spanning outwards at the small of his back to wrap around to cover his hips, are carefully lain scales; they're a deep maroon color that give off a golden pearlescent gleam when firelight hits them. These scales are a great form of defense, however, due to the composition of these scales they're not very sensitive. The gentlest of touches is undetectable whereas a striking blow is brushed off as no more than an annoying nudge.
Teeth: His teeth consist of a material closely related to that of his skeletal system and are very strong; it would be very difficult for anyone to crack or break any of his teeth, by any means. The only visible distinction regarding his teeth are his elongated canine (cuspid; 6, 11, 22, 27) teeth. Those four teeth are an exceptional indication pointing towards the fact that he's something that's not quite human. When he feels the need, they can be utilized quite successfully as a weapon; able to pierce and tear through most materials with much ease along with the assistance of his incisors.
The Chaos Star: Tattooed in black ink, upon his left pectoral is a tribal rendition of the chaos star. The tattoo is the focus point for his necromancer abilities, he channels his abilities through it. It is also used to amplify his already incredibly impressive pyrokinetic abilities.
You don't even know the danger you're facing.
- Due to his vulnerability to aconitum, he's always avoiding situations that would expose him to the substance; as a result of this paranoia, Andino will never accept beverages or any food from someone that he does not trust (which is a rare feat on its own).
- When engaging in social interactions he's always very conscientious of everything surrounding him; the conversation itself, the people in his presence, other people that may be surrounding him, smells, and miscellaneous sounds. His senses are always on high alert which can make him seem a bit twitchy or hyper-responsive at times.
- His mood is highly influenced by the phases of the moon. His mood and temper waxes and wanes with each changing face, growing more and more agitated and aggressive and the full moon draws nearer.
- More to come as the character is further developed.
- Pyrokinetics: Due to genetics, he possesses the ability to summon, manipulate, and control any form of fire, and all the characteristics that come along with it, with his mind. Throughout his years he's become expertly versed with this ability - although his capabilities vary dependent on which form he's in (his dragon being the most powerfully versed in pyrokinetics; Dragon, Werebeast, Human, Wolf). Hand in hand with the ability to manipulate the element of fire is the ability to withstand it. He's completely fireproof and revels even in molten climates.
- Necromancy: Editing.
- This section is under very heavy construction as I develop the logistics of it all.
- His body temperature is heightened by a great extent compared to that of humans; both his werewolf and draconic heritage play a hand in this. Because of the increased temperature he is less prone to diseases. Most foreign bodies are promptly destroyed by either his extreme bodily temperature or his extremely improved immune system.
- The rate at which his body regenerates and repairs wounds is momentously accelerated compared to an average mortal. Depending on the wound, he can heal within a matter of minutes or over the course of multiple days. While he cannot regenerate a severed limb, if the lost limb is claimed and reattached; the flesh, musculature, and bone can mend itself back together given the appropriate length of time.
- All of his sensory organ are highly sensitive and are able to pick up on even the finest of details, such senses include; vision, hearing, taste, touch. For example: if he's come into contact with a specific species before, he can identify them simply by their scent; his vision is so keen that he can see even in the darkest of dwellings; he can hear the acceleration of a heartbeat from a fair distance away.
- Much like his sensory organs his physical abilities are heightened considerably but are limited due to his physical structure. His strength is not something to be taken lightly and is quite the intimidating factor when facing him in combat or being in the line of fire when his temper flares. Due to the composition of his immune system and his strenuous lifestyle the man's stamina is something to be admired; he can fight through extensive battles without easily tiring and can perform strenuous tasks for extended periods of time without tiring.
- He has the ability to unhinge his jaw (in all of his forms) to devour large prey or to deliver a more expansive bite to a specified target. This ability is rarely displayed because it's not very often that he comes across a situation that requires him to utilize it.
- The man's bones are stronger than any known non-magical material. Such a strengthened quality is required to undertake the frequent shape-shifting rituals, whether they're done willingly or by force of the full moon. The necessity of a strongly composed skeletal system mostly comes into play when he's sustaining his dragon form; the amount of pressure resting upon the skeletal system due to the size and weight of the substantial beast would surely cause him to crumple otherwise. Despite the strength of his bones, they are hollow.
- Considering his physical composition Andino's supernatural ability of enhanced agility only gets him so far. The man is capable of bursts of supernatural speed, but these are limited to very short distances (~30 yards). He cannot run at a blinding pace for extended periods of time without causing himself physical damage.
- Aconitum - more commonly known as Wolfsbane - is avoided at all costs. The extent of the effects vary quite substantially; when it comes into contact with his skin, it first causes tingling and then progresses into numbness, which can eventually becoming temporarily debilitating pain until contact is ceased. If it's a liquid formulation that comes into contact with his flesh, and lingers long enough to be absorbed into his system, it can cause moderate to extreme discomfort and hallucinations (depending upon the dosage). Now, when wolfsbane is ingested, the effects become more detrimental; immediately his system will attempt to cleanse itself by regurgitation and vomiting, depending upon the dosage and composition this may prove successful. If successfully brought up, he will still experience extreme discomfort and major hallucinations for multiple days. If his system's unsuccessful in bringing up the entire dosage the aconitum ingested will ultimately lead to an agonizing death. Andino has come across this substance many times during his lifespan and knows its scent from a mile away. Therefore, it is nearly impossible for him to be taken off guard unless the scent is somehow masked, or if he's already somehow in a vulnerable situation.
- Silver isn't extensively toxic, but the magical elements possessed by the metal dramatically decreases his ability to heal. If he's injured with a silver weapon (and there are no fragments left behind) the wound will heal at a rate that is considered normal for an average human opposed to his accelerated rate. If there is a fragment of silver left in the injury, he will be unable to heal and in a considerable amount of pain until that fragment is removed. Any injury inflicted with a silver weapon will result in permanent scarring.
- He's an immortal creature but he can be killed with the correct tactics. There are various ways to go about doing this if you're looking for a battle; the man's heart and brain are his key components to life. If his heart is irreparably punctured, or even torn from his chest and destroyed, he will die. If he's successfully decapitated and his brain is ultimately destroyed, he will die. It's really quite as simple as that.
Note: If your character has wolfsbane in their possession or has been in contact with wolfsbane shortly before approaching Andino, please inform me OOC. He will most certainly be able to pick up on the scent and it can incorporated into the role play for added context. I'm also more than willing to incorporate injuries revolving around his weakness to silver; I'm not afraid of having my character injured and scarred. But when it comes down to the topic of death, I will never never consent to the death of my character. I'm far too attached to him.
This character is a highly aggressive one and will not shy away from a challenge. However, until I develop him a little further I will not be entering him into official fights within the arena. I need to get a feel of the character before I begin fighting him. In the future, he will be actively participating within the arena. - A circular scar about two inches in diameter just above his right hip (front and back), giving the impression that at one point or another something forcefully punctured right through his abdomen. There is nerve damage surrounding the entry site and the old wound can become quite painful when the flesh surrounding the area is stimulated.
