His abnormal growth and muscle mass has corrupted the standard long, slender frame of the Anshar, into a hulking giant of 5'11", with an astonishing weight of 210 lbs exactly. His monstrous body is wrapped in soft, earthy toned skin, like brown autumn leaves during fall. Coincidentally, there is further similarity between Tobu and leaves present within the linear patterns in his skin and the veins in a leaf. These lines form intricate designs that cover his entire body, converging at a single point to form the Strange Symbol of the Akit'r on the back of his neck. Though you would never know it, for the symbol is always obscured by dreaded locks of brown hair, which fall just passed his shoulder blades. His face has long since been a victim plagued by these obstructions. Often, stray, rampaging lochs will seek to interrupt the world seen through Len's deep brown eyes, which discern that he has seen much more than his youthful features let on. This fact is reassured after hearing his voice that is filled with the certainty of knowingness from experiences pass.[/indent] [color=chocolate][b][u]Personality[/u][/b][/color] [indent] On the surface, Tobu comes off as a rather silly and lighthearted person, frequently engaging in comical behavior and retaining his oft-present grin even while making threats. He displays a childlike amusement for new situations whether or not they prove adverse or even potentially fatal, he has a penchant for wandering off on his own. Even with all these idiosyncrasies, Tobu is extremely personable and has a particularly complimentary nature that easily gains him the friendship and trust of those surrounding him. Of course, these aspects hide the complex and determined young man underneath. On the reverse side of his frivolous nature is his considerable shrewdness, which makes him quite capable of reading people and situations. He is particularly observant, taking into consideration even the smallest details of his surroundings in order to better understand and deal with challenges and is not above using cheap tricks or questionable tactics to ensure his own survival. Being singularly ambitious, Tobu also has a remarkably tenacious will that allows him to overcome virtually insurmountable obstacles and accept burdens for the sake of his own ultimate goal. Tobu has a considerable pride that will not stand for having his humanity insulted or condemned by his enemies, but Tobu is also capable of shelving his pride if it becomes something that will stand in the way of his objective. Tobu is very protective of family and comrades, refusing to allow any harm to come to them and often deem their safety more important than his own in spite of his own personal ambitions and goals. Tobu has to be reminded several times that his own safety is something upon which many people depend and he uses his loved ones as his primary motivation when all hope seems lost. As such, he becomes furious when observing those who willingly or remorselessly cast aside their own comrades or brethren and is sickened by the idea of superiors who reject their duty to those who trust them.[/indent] [color=chocolate][b][u]Skills[/u][/b][/color] [indent] [list] [*]Primal Force of the Akit'r Each one of a Akit'r's five senses seem to always be flipped into overdrive, bombarding thier mind with sensory information. The acuity of thier eyes are astonishing, allowing them the ability to see distances and detail that few others could ever hope to experience. They can also function in a complete lack of light, allowing him to fight in absolute darkness as if it were the middle of the day. Their ears are highly sensitive, able to pick up sound from miles away and even hear the heartbeat of an enemy who comes within a few feet. Thier noses are hyper-focused to a variety of odors, especially to blood, sweat, and endorphins, which allow the Akit'r to essentially read the bodily functions of his enemies, giving them the knowledge as to their emotions and their level of fatigue. These senses, when used in combat, turn the Akit'r into a veritable monster, able to fight in any situation with a great sensory advantage. Along with thier senses, the Akit'r are known for thier speed and strength. Thier awareness of the environment is amazing and is revered, allowing him to both dodge attacks and find ways around defenses. They are even capable of ripping through material defenses with bare hands and the tips of thier weapons.

He has trained to be an Akit'r Hunter since the young and impressionable age of 5, and his dream to be a full-fledged member of the Akit'r has pushed him each and every day. He has proven that he is a prodigy in the Dreamscape. [/list] [list] [*]Hung Dar An Akit'r fighting style that the family developed that uses deep, low stances, and emphasizes on having firm, solid stances that flow into aggressive techniques that explode and drive through the opponent. This compiled with Primal quickly weakens and overwhelms the opponent with consistent, powerful, non stop attacks. [/list] [/indent] [color=chocolate][b][u]Equipment[/u][/b][/color] [indent] [list] [*]Gurkha Blade: This is a curved bone knife, similar to the machete, used as both a tool and as a weapon. It is symbolic amongst the Akit'r when used as a weapon, signifying the courage and valor of the bearer in the battlefield. The blade's distinctive forward drop is intended to aid the cutting action by having the edge maintain an angle (rather like a guillotine) rather than just have a straight edge at right angles to the target, this angle provides a more "slicing" action similar to a draw-cut with a machete or saber. The Gurkha Blade is effective as both a chopping and a slashing weapon. In combat, it is used in two different styles: stabbing with the point, slashing or chopping with the edge. Because the blade bends towards the opponent, the user need not angle the wrist, which makes the Gurkha Blade more comfortable as a stabbing weapon than other straight-bladed knives. Its heavy blade enables the user to inflict deep wounds and to cut through muscle and bone. As a tool, its use has varied from building, clearing, chopping firewood, and digging to cutting meat and vegetables, and skinning animals.
