Name: Radu Kaeron
Secret Identity: Shadow Wolf
Age: 25-ish (looks more like 21)
Powers: Radu has several abilities that seem to be unique (though he refuses to tell anyone whether they are inborn or acquired). Among them are the ability to stop a moment in time, as he puts it. Essentially, it involves slipping slightly out of phase with the rest of the universe. Unfortunately, he can only maintain it for about two seconds, and can't actually do any travelling through time with it. It's useful for getting out of tight spots, but it requires a moment of absolute clarity to do. He is also several times stronger than a normal human, as well as several times faster, though he can't use both at the same time, and with better reflexes. The speed is similar to that of a cheetah, and lasts about as long. However, he has been known to jokingly boast that no one has lasted the full sixty seconds before (almost as if he's begging for that to happen). His only other useful gift, that hasn't been acquired through training in combat, is a rather odd knowledge of the past and many dead languages. (not too much, is it?)
Weaknesses: his phasing ability requires time to achieve the right state of mind, and only lasts two seconds once used. also, anyone who can move even one quarter of the speed of light will still appear to be moving, albeit at a slower pace (which increases to normal (for the runner) the closer to lightspeed the runner gets). his running speed only lasts for about a minute, making it more of a sprint.
Appearance: Radu has long black hair, in an odd, feathered, wolfy look (think Luna's hair after reverting from a transformation in Alpha Luna), green eyes, and a medium build. not overly muscular, but welldefined, considering his abilities. usually dressing in a set of black cargo pants with lots of pockets, a black shirt, anklelength leather coat (also with lots of pockets) and leather boots, with an amulet in the shape of his namesake, a black wolf, around his neck. He also carries a sword he made.
Personality: like a wolf, Radu tends to be pensive and thoughtful, except in battle. it's very rare for him to be anything but demonic when it comes to fighting. outside of battle, he often confuses others with his knowledge of the past. even he's not quite sure how he knows most of what he knows. his earliest actual memories are of laying curled up in the depths of an old shrine, hidden from a massive storm as a child.
History: not much is known about his past, except for what he reveals about his life. He remembers his mother, but not his father. He grew up with a respect for nature rivalling that of the ancient Druidic priests, and loves animals (though not all of them return the love). He found out about his powers by accident, while protecting a young girl from a gang of thugs that intended to rape her. All of the thugs ended up in the hospital, and only one of them conscious, though babbling nonsense. He remembers being on several colonies, but also on a planet, he's not sure which. In fact, he's not even sure when he would have been on a planet. When he received an invitation from a man who called himself Vision (a name somehow familiar to him), he almost ignored it. After a bit of thought, he realized that someone who would go through all the trouble of sending a holographic representation of some mechanical man just to get him to come to some meeting would probably not take too kindly to an RSVP. So, he went to the place he had been asked to, and waited.
how's that?
also, as per your request, i will take up an as yet unmentioned blast from the past who will appear at some point
You've still have postions open I see. I was wondering if a magus would be playable or if is totaly snuffed out. Otherwise I was thinking of playing a demon bound by a stone or some such to one of the female players.
