Take 2. It took a while due to other stuff. [Hider=Zane]CS: Meister Name: Zane Wulf Age: 17 Gender: Male Species: Monster Animal (Wolf) Appearance: Standing at 5’8 in his human form, Zane’s body is toned from constant training. His dark grey hair is naturally wild, due to his wolf side, but he keeps it relatively short to avoid problems in combat. His face is relatively handsome, though not to any excess, and is marred even more by a scar through his missing left eye. The remaining eye is a deep red, the colour of freshly spilled blood. He usually wears a simple black eyepatch to cover his missing eye. In terms of clothing, Zane is nearly always seen wearing his trademark black jacket, which has a deathly hourglass on the back. The shoulders of the jacket are plate pauldrons, made of a golden metal, and the jacket is inlined with scale mail. As for other clothes, he generally wears outfits that are easy to move around and fight in. Fashion doesn’t seem to be important to him. As a wolf, Zane is larger than most, his standing being closer to a noble hound than a feral beast. His left eye scar also marks him as more than the average wolf. Abilities: Knights Training: Zane is versed in the many weapon styles and traditions of Knights. Wolf King: As a king among wolves, Zane possesses immense strength. Both in human form and wolf, his raw power cannot be compared to regular people. Though this is also the curse of the Wolf King, as the mix of human and wolf instincts drive them down the path of a Kishin. Techniques: Werewolf Strike: a powerful sword slash Crescent Wave: a version of Werewolf Strike that sends out a shock wave that looks like a crescent moon. Wolf King’s Rampage: Zane unleashes his feral side, attacking with an insane speed and power. Lupine Eclipse (w/ Kronos): the Wolf King and his Clone attack together in human form, creating a whirlwind of death. Equipment: A small knife, enhanced to do a moderate more damage than a regular blade, though no where near the level of a Demon Weapon, as well as a similar one-handed sword. He also carries a small buckler, made from the same material as his pauldrons. Personality: Zane is a prideful person, from both being trained as a knight and from being a powerful wolf. Despite his animal nature, he is quite civilised and proper, acting according to the laws of chivalry. Though if one looks at it another way, it is more that he clings to these laws to stave off the beast within. In a battle, he allows a bit of his wolf side to spring forth, leading to a ferocious fighting style. But even in his wildest state, he still will not harm anyone close to him. His relationship with his partner is more like a rival than a friend, the two in a state of constant competition with each other. History: Once in every hundred years, a Wolf King is born. This is not a cause for celebration though, as the creature is a fierce beast. Cunning as a man, but with the ferocity of a wolf, they were a major target of the DWMA due to their tendency to walk down the path of the Kishin. From just a pup, the Wolf King who would be known as Zane was on the run from Meisters wanting his powerful soul. He actually lost his eye in one of the encounters. As time passed, his hatred for humanity grew. He was close to actively walking down the devil’s path when he was saved by a man named Odin. Odin was an old Meister, who had retired from the role some years ago. His level of soul perception allowed him to see the true state of this Wolf King’s soul, and decided to embrace the poor beast rather than kill him. Doing so caused a change in the young wolf, and for the first time he transformed into a human. Odin was aghast, as this feared creature was but a child of barely five. The old Meister took him in, and named this child Zane Wulf. Odin taught Zane the arts of chivalry, as a means of controlling the beast inside, and explained to the child why people were in fear of people like him. Hearing the truth of the reason behind the hunt, Zane’s anger dissipated, replaced with an admiration for the Meisters. When he was 14, he entered the DWMA on the recommendation of his foster father. As a pure fighter and theorist, his talent was exceptional. Despite this, his unique soul wavelength made him incompatible with practically everyone in the academy, putting him in a state between EAT and NOT. He remained this way for 5 months, until he accidentally uncovered a dark plot. From an unknown source, a mad scientist on the edge of the city had obtained samples of the Death Scythes, and was trying to create his own subservient clone. (See Kronos Backstory for more info on that). Zane was investigating some disappearances around the area when he too was captured. It wasn't one of his best days. After the events, the two found they had compatability as Weapon and Meister, but their rivalry made the a running joke of the academy.[/hider] [Hider=Kronos] CS: Weapon Name: Kronos Wulf Age: 3 Gender: Male Species: Clone Appearance: Kronos looks like Zane, save for having pure white hair, and both eyes, though they are yellow instead of red. Also, due to a hiccup in DNA he has wolf ears instead of human ones. He let’s his hair run wild, looking far more wolf like in appearance than Zane. For clothing, Kronos keeps it simple, wearing only a red vest, jeans, and steel toed boots, with spiked wristbands on his arm. His weapon form is a zweihander, a two-handed sword. It is silver in colour, and with a wide blade too heavy for most people to swing. The blade is decorated with wolf and lunar symbols, giving it a elegant look for such a brutish weapon. Abilities: From Zane’s memories, Kronos has a vast knowledge of western martial arts, as well as being far stronger than a regular human. In addition, his normal senses are those of a wolf. Techniques: Same as Zane Equipment: Like Zane, Kronos also carries weapons, though he prefers a bastard sword and a mace. Personality: While Zane serves the laws of chivalry, Kronos instead follows the ideal of justice. He is far more hot-headed than his partner, often getting himself into bad situations due to his personality. At the same time though, he often is seen to be the more caring one of the two, as he doesn’t have to constantly keep his emotions in check. The two of often butt heads, the subtle differences in their personality being far more inflammatory than polar opposites, but this dissonance creates a powerful melody when the two resonate. History: On the outskirts of Death City, a mad scientist was conducting sinister experiments, hoping to recreate the power of the Death Scythes, for his own twisted ambitions. Utilising DNA gathered from the Death Scythes, he tried to create mindless clones that would follow his orders. However he could get the clones to stabilise. The clones needed to be spliced with non weapon DNA in order to survive. So the scientist began catching citizens of Death City in order to use them as fodder for his tests. Zane, who had been as so far fighting without a Weapon, decided to investigate these disappearances but he himself ended up captured by one of the ‘successes’. Although it had worked to an extent, their bodies were abominations stuck between weapon and human. Knowing of Zane’s mastery of weaponry, the mad scientist decided to use Zane’s DNA to create a powerful servant. This proved to be his undoing, as Zane was a Wolf King. It was ironic really, the first true successful clone was what ended up killing the scientist. The frenzy of the Wolf King was deadly to everyone near him, so Zane knew he had to stop him. Zane and Kronos fought against each other in the underground, the two being evenly matched despite the weapon DNA in Kronos. It was strange, until now he had never felt a resonance with anyone, but each time they clashed it was like an orchestra of the soul. In the feral state, Kronos lacked the skill Zane had, and he eventually took him down. When the other DWMA members arrived after Zane called for a rescue, they wanted to dispose of the clone, but the student stood in front of his copy. “This man is Kronos Wulf, and he is my brother.” At these words, Kronos punched Zane in the back of the head. Apparently he’d rather die than be brother to an idiot like Zane. To the surprise of the people around, the usually stoic Zane returned the punch with interest, and the two got into a scrap. When they came before Lord Death, he allowed Kronos to live, as he was no puppet and had his own will. He and Zane partnered up, becoming one of the most powerful, yet useless, pairs in the DWMA.
