Name: Musou Nickname(Optional): If you come up with one, I'll gladly add it here, but Musou has been alone for quite some time. Age: 22 Gender: Male Race: Desert Zora Race Description: The Desert Zora were a small splinter colony of normal Zora once. Living outside Hyrule on the far side of the Gerudo Desert peacefully with their own oasis, these Zora were nothing special. However, a group of Dark Sorcerers happened upon them and took the action most Dark Sorcerers took upon meeting the Zora, destroying their source of water. The peaceful Desert Zora were helpless to resist this, and no hero was there to save them. The Dark Sorcerers wished to make servants out of the Zora rather than slaughter them outright, and so taught them strange rites that bound them to the Dark Sorcerers power in return for adaption to the desert. Dark magic and strange rituals with a price in blood slowly changed the Desert Zora. Their fins became short and stout, their blue scales rough like sandpaper and colored in reds and tans as the sands. Their eyes tinged red with the fell price they paid. Eventually, the Dark Sorcerers fell to the only enemy they could not master, time. The Desert Zora forgot the source of their powers, forgot who they were before, and never realized their rituals were dark magic. A life for a well was the only way they knew to survive. But one Shaman-in-training found that price unacceptable, Musou. Non-Battle Occupation: Shaman/Raincaller. If you don't mind bleeding, Musou can make your wish come true... At a cost likely greater than the blood spilled in the ritual. Height: 6'8" Weight: 176 Distinctive Proportions: As a Desert Zora, both Musou's clothes and physical appearance are incredibly distinctive to most, often not recognizable as a Zora until second glance unless only looked in silhouette . He has grayish tan coloring, completely devoid of the blue tones of normal zora, his eyes are tinged red with an unrelentingly hard stare. His clothes are mishmash of his own and of the prizes he took as he wandered through the desert, the black runed tans of his homeland with garishly colored blues and red silks from the Gerudo. Frame: Masculine, but not so much that he overcomes the "most Zora are androgynous twigs to everyone not Zora" syndrome. Description of looks: He carries a Gerudo Naginata, red silken banner trailing from it just below the blade. A deep blue scarf is around his neck and waist, also trailing a bit. The rest of his clothes look appropriate to a shaman or monk, covering much of his body in a neutral tan, and are covered in strange black runes of a corrupted Hylian divergent from actual Hylian from long isolation. Main Weapon (Required): A Gerudo Spear/Naginata (OoT style), picked up when he traversed through the desert. Sub Weapon (Optional): Dunno if his dark magics would count, but he has em. Type of Artes: Three Styles In Particular, Curse Magic that emphasizes weakening the enemy, his Honorable/Chivalrous defensive/protective Naginata style, and then Bereserk kill everything with anything he can lift. Fighting Style: Musou is a berserker who realizes he is one, and a caster whose dark magic has a cost in blood, a [b] Dark Knight[/b]. Before engaging, he will think tactically, cast debuffs on his foes, weighing the cost in his strength vs the hindrance to the target, and try and pick the best time to engage. Initially in direct combat, he fights with an semi-honorable pride as a chivalrous warrior. But once his muscles start pumping and his own blood flows across the battlefield, he loses himself to the curses woven through his blood by his dark heritage. Tools: Desert Survival Gear, Ritual Gear. Physical Weaknesses: Ice, cold, and water. Due to his physical changes, he can't actually swim. He can breath underwater, but he can't swim. And his normal Zora weaknesses to ice and cold have been compounded by his desert heritage. Low Physical Defense. Physical Strengths: Highly resilient to heat (but not immune), High Physical Offense, can easily "swim" and otherwise traverse through whirlpool dunes and quicksand. Personal Weaknesses: Honorable Pride. This can be thought of as a strength, but this is not that kind of honorable. This is the "Goku giving Cell a Setsu Bean" level of Honorable, a reckless pride that insists on fighting opponents one on one without taking advantage of moments of weakness and allowing them to ready themselves for battle. Berserk. The only time he'll stop being honorable is once he's lost his senses and just rages across the battle as a berserker. Personal Strengths: Chivalrous. He does also have the nice kind of honorable, with a hint of excessive kindness to the ladies. Loyal. Unless he's berserk, he would gladly throw himself in the way of attacks headed towards his comrades, if he believes they are in danger. Perks: Strength and Endurance. His harsh lifestyle and draining magic have honed his physical form's raw power. Elemental Immunity: Resistant to Fire and Electricity, but not actually immune to either. Limit Breaker: Musou loses control over his dark magic, and it surrounds his with a dark purple aura as of flames, dramatically increasing his strength to scales of titanic proportions for about a minute or so. However, his berserk state worsens and he loses much of his ability to tell friend from foe, simply lashing out at the strongest and closest beings.Once the magic has exhausted all the power left in Musou's body, he collapses. Character Growth Opportunities: Overcoming his berserk nature, pride, and reliance on dark magic would all be growth aspects I'd like to investigate.
