  Profession: Wither has no inclination of who he is or was, being resurrected from a cemetery by a member of a necromancer coven and turned over to the custody of a "doctor" -- whom was nothing less than a psychopath -- in order to be a test subject. A while back, he escaped, and now he is on the run from the scientist that seeks to reclaim him.

  Physique: Wither stands at an average height of 5'10" with an awkward, lanky stature. Several of his joints seem to be out of place, and he has long arms and legs, with large hands and feet.
  
  Scars: He has plenty of patches of ripped flesh and exposed bone across his shoulders and ribcage.
  
  Miscellaneous: N/A
  
  Attire: He wears an "off-white" blood-stained shirt that has been worn away with dust and age. His arms sport wrinkled bandages of gauze that are also stained with dried blood. They wrap themselves around his wrists up to his elbows. Covering his hands are dark brown fingerless gloves. His khaki jeans are tattered and ripped at the knees and ankles. He dons dark brown, mudded farmer boots that push his khakis up to his knees. Two black are studs pierced into his right eyebrow, one in the right side of his nose, and one in his lower lip. A dark brown beanie sits atop his head that matches his gloves and boots.
  
  
  COMBAT
  
  Strengths: Due to the normal advantages of being undead, Wither cannot feel any physical pain or discomfort, making it difficult to hinder him in combat. Considering none of the nerves or organs in his body are actually functioning, there is not much physical damage that could be done to him that would put him at a disadvantage (unless you were to do something to render him completely incapacitated like cutting off his legs lol). Biological qualities aside, after many years of experiments that have been conducted upon him, Wither's brain seems to have developed a "second conscience", or "doppleganger affect". This alternate personality has come to be known as "the Ram", and it is the embodiment of Wither's anger. When Wither is pushed to the point of absolute fury, the Ram will emerge from its dormant state in his mind and take over him, transforming him not only mentally, but physically. The Ram is incredibly dangerous, for anything it touches can immediately begin to decompose at its will -- including living flesh. In order to counter-act this, one's mind must be stronger than the Ram's and render its power inaffective, as it is a telekenetic ability, in a sense. Aside from reacting when Wither is enraged, the Ram can also be involuntarily released as a defense mechanism when Wither is weak or frightened.
  
  Weaknesses: Strangely enough, while his incapability to feel pain serves as a strength, it can also be a hindrance. With his nerves being inactive, Wither is not always aware of how much damage he has taken or how far he has pushed his limits. The same can also be said when it comes to the Ram, for it is not only a danger to others, but a danger to Wither as well. It is an evil entity that torments him, seeking to consume him and leave every part of who he is behind to -- no pun intended -- wither away and be forgotten. While the Ram remains dormant in his mind for the majority of the time, it can and will emerge at even the slightest provocation.
  
  Misc. Abilities: N/A (May develop this later.)
  
  
  CHARACTER
  
  Synopsis: Wither is driven by a strong will to be free. Rebellious by nature, he does not take kindly to any orders -- or even requests -- given to him. Excessively stubborn and unwilling to admit when he's wrong, he can be a bit difficult to tolerate.
  
  Nonetheless, despite his irritability, he does his best to keep himself in check and knows that he cannot let his bottled anger get the better of him at all costs -- and believe me, he has a lot of it. There is so much hatred pent up inside of him, and what scares him the most is that he doesn't know if it's an influence of the Ram or his own personal emotions. Because of this, and because he still genuinely cares enough to not want to pose a threat to anyone, he makes an effort to avoid confrontation or social situations as much as he can.
  
  If he's caught in a moment where he's forced to communicate, he tends to come off as rather awkward, doing his best to keep his words few and to the point while remaining civil and courteous at the same time. His mental instability makes him extremely guarded and paranoid, and the Ram misses no opportunities to taunt him when he is vulnerable.
  
  Pros:
  
  Cons:
  
  Moral Alignment: It's complicated. While he tries his best to remain in the Lawful-Neutral category, he finds himself prone to being Chaotic-Neutral or Neutral-Evil.
  
  Political Alignment: He used to be a thrall in a criminal organization of necromancers; having escaped their clutches for the time being, he now essentially wanders free and does not affiliate himself with anyone.
  
  Religious Alignment: Does not actively worship anyone.
  
  
  AFFILIATES
  
  "Despite the fact that absolutely every fiber of my being is telling me to run away, I can't help but remain at your side. I've no idea what you've done to me, but I can no longer fathom the idea of being anywhere else."
