“I will never stop or rest, until my quarry is dead. Time is my ally and I’ve got plenty of it…”
Samad Armir (Former last name, unknown)
Official Title: Past- The Persian Lion |Present- The Survivor
Team Title: Past- Wrecking Crew |Present- Experimental Team
Gender: Male
Age: 29
Position: Linked Asylum
Specialty: Hunter (silencer characteristics)
Alchemic Style: Vocem (primary), Motem (secondary)
Asylum Code: L (50)- Left forearm, on the inside between the wrist and elbow.
Weapons: Primary WeaponDesert’s Fang Prototype: Based off a Persian style scimitar it has two modes, combat and hidden. To pull it out in combat, Samad detaches the cane’s handle then squeezes the end to create the blade, made of shaped plasma. This can cut through nearly anything without any much issues but light enough he can easily wield it, often making this his go to weapon when he’s forced into a confrontation lacking the surprise element. When he’s finished, he smacks the lion’s head and deactivates the blade before placing it back into the wooden cane base (35 inches in length).
Secondary WeaponKatar: Usually a H shaped weapon first recorded in the 16th century and used in the Middle East, Samad’s has been enhanced for the modern world. Instead of being a grip, the weapon is strapped upon a thick bracer that looks like a bondage accessory ranging about 8.4 inches in length between the wrist and elbow. On the underarm is what appears to be a small, metal clasp that hides an inch wide blade running down the length of the bracer which ejects at a press of a palm button. On the outer side is set of ornate strips folded in and can also be flipped out. When extended it creates a small crossbow that shoots small arrows about the size of darts.
Additional features~ The blade itself is laced with a poison edge to affect healing wounds and prevent them from clotting whenever he strikes a target’s flesh. Only Cade, who has examined the substance, has an antidote within his medical bag should it be needed.
There’s a canister that can hold up to about 50 small, tightly packed arrows about the size of darts or pencils. On the outside it looks like a normal, average pen or pencil can with a clasp to hook it to his belt. All three items are specially designed to go through most outside examination and get away being undetected.
Momentum Manipulation- Samad can influence the momentum force of any object including living or inanimate that are within his eyesight. This means he can increase or decrease the speed it is traveling at (not fully stop or start it), alter the target’s magnitude (make the impact softer or harder), redirect from its original target and even transfer any momentum from one source to another. A favorite tactic in battle for Samad is to absorb the momentum of an attacking object or person then store it within himself away for later use to increase his own speed or power behind his movements.
Alchemic Overdrive: Yet to achieve it, will do so ICly.
Appearance: Samad is a well built man, like all Asylums, with a fit physical frame and muscles created by the harsh conditions of the missions he has experienced. On closer inspection it is obvious he is made for strength rather than speed naturally. His height is about 5’7”, average for most Arabic and Middle Eastern descended, with a weight at around 225 pounds. Being one of the many sons of the Kian, Samad shows it with his amber eyes and pure onyx hair, cut short to prevent the normal wavy found in it when he grows it out. His skin is built for harsh desert environment with the tone of Kalahari sands giving him a proud appearance. A deep, black L, his Asylum number 50, is tattooed into his under arm of his left forearm where it can be hidden from sight.
His attire is often chosen based on his mission. The main questions that need answers are namely what is required and what is the common appearance within the setting, further details filled in when he ends up purchasing the items. This means he doesn’t keep a wide range of outfits for personal use and merely buys on demand, through the few sets he has are fairly simple. His most favored often fit several needed traits like comfort, mobility, durability, and allows him to blend into modern crowds easily. This means no qualities that stick out like a sore thumb as he hates being the center of attention or noted on a heavy level.
The most frequent used are various plain, cotton shirts of usually long sleeve, jeans and athletic shoes. His shoes are often the most replaced item of his causal wear and have seen some wear and tear. On his middle finger is a thick, titanium ring given to him when he was child. The piece is shaped into the image of a scorpion wrapped about the finger to touch its claws to its tail, a cut and polished ruby set within its main body.
Personality: Due to the fact my PC’s personalities aren’t ridge and tend to change, I’m listing the main features of Samad’s personality that are most notable upon a default day.
Patient: Being a hunter suits Samad as he uses time as his ally and goes about stalking his prey at his own pace, never rushed by urgency or need to save lives. In his mind, everyone will die, including himself, making the how mean less than the when. He also knows he’ll eventually catch up to the target and when he does, he’ll make sure they will either fall or never forget. Paranoia works in his favor in this case since it makes his prey sloppy and and easier to locate later. In both conflict and outside of it, Samad manages to keep a tight rein over his emotions which creates an objective tone and viewpoint with the matter he’s discussing.
Restless: When there’s an unfinished task left and he’s unable to work on completing it, Samad becomes restless. These traits shown in way he moves, reacts, and more through subtle ways. Not because he values or wants to protect life, but because he values his own accomplishments deep inside. While he won’t disobey orders to leave things well enough alone, it doesn’t mean it won’t bother him off and on, especially when reminded of it.
Cold/Distant: When not being requested on his thoughts or engaged directly in conversation, Samad gives off an aloof attitude to the scene. Most find him distant and cold on first impression which alters, after they get use to him, to merely the former. Through if he sees an issue left unaddressed he might draw attention it to it by breaking his aloof attitude then retreat when it has been.
Blunt in speech: Samad doesn’t believe in sugarcoating the truth as he sees it and one should expect full bluntness when his opinions are asked for. As with most bluntness, his words are chosen for meaning rather than compassion or politeness and so come off as insensitive and harsh depending on the subject. When others try to correct it, he grows silent then states if they don’t want the reality of the situation than he is the last one they should consult over opinions.
History: Will reveal throughout IC.
Other: Since he was 27, Samad suffers various symptoms listed below:
- Chronic headaches
- Phantom pains in his right leg
- Nose bleeds during extreme tension
- Rarely Occurring Flashbacks
Cade has been trying to ease the headaches, through keeps insisting the pain is all in his head, and continually monitors his status when outside combat.
Samad carries about the slight air of Persian pride and calm, the remnants of his past. Whatever the reason for it, he long since has been forced to give it up when he was snatched up by AMRO and trained as an Asylum.
Armir isn’t his original last name and instead a new one was bestowed in its place on his departure, most likely to spare the family the ability to get into contact with him or shame.
The ring upon Samad’s finger is a symbol of the Kian Bloodline, a trinket that could mean one of two things: either signifying the wearer is of royal blood or a royal is in debt to that individual, earning him some measure of respect. When asked about the ring, Samad has never indicated why he has and often ignores the question when it arises.
