[hider=Llewelyn Rorch] [center] [img=http://gigxl.com/things/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/tailors_29.jpg] [/center] Age: 26 Gender: Male Species: Human [b]Significant/Special Belongings[/b]: The Glove of the Wander, a pair of brass knuckles that have been lined with iron, a charm that holds no power and grants no abilities, a stone ring that symbolizes Glandrëch’s ownership of Llewelyn and allows the two to communicate, a nice pair of sunglasses, and a crisp leather notebook. Fighting Skills/Techniques: Versatile in hand to hand combat, skillful in knife/dagger combat, knowledgeable on the operation of firearms Llewelyn, having grown up in the Azure, has been exposed to all sorts of different supernatural beings. This has caused him to become a very cautious fighter, picking his fights carefully and never underestimating his enemies. [b]Weapon of Choice[/b]: Glove of the Wander: The Glove of the Wander was given to Llewelyn by the demon Glandrëch shortly before he joined up with the circus. The glove instantly molds with its user's body, causing the hand that wears it to be covered with symbols and markings, resembling elaborate tattoos. An untrained eye would only think that Llewelyn is an ink enthusiast. The most notable function of the glove is its 6 "shots" that it holds. The glove has the ability to fire 6 concentrated blasts of energy that can tear apart the fabric of whatever form of matter it comes into contact with. The 6 shots are represented by 6 hollow circles surrounding the insignia on the back of the user’s gloved hand. After each shot, the user will experience an icy/electric surge through their hand, and one of the circles will shrink, closing the gap inside of itself. Every time the sun rises (or whatever equivalent this is in the realm Llewelyn is in at the time) the shots reset. The glove also enhances its user's physical capabilities significantly and heightens the user's senses. While these physical and sensory buffs do make a large difference in the user's performance, they are not so extreme that the user will be able to do anything particularly superhuman. For example, A user would not be able to catch a bullet, but a knife thrown by someone without supernatural strength (ie: someone who couldn't throw the knife as fast as a bullet) could easily be caught. A user could also not lift objects of particularly heavy weight, such as a car or a horse. The sensory buffs apply only to sight and hearing. Anyone who takes on such an item is cursed with sterility; Llewelyn will never be able to reproduce. The glove also allocates twenty years of the user’s predestined lifespan to itself. [b]How You Came to be in Azure[/b]: When he was 9 years old, Llewelyn’s parents traded him to the demon Glandrëch as a means to settle their debt. Glandrëch, ever gazing into the future, placed Llewelyn in the Azurian city of Krÿmias, a cross roads of the mortal and immortal realms; a place where Glandrëch knew Llewelyn would grow to be the husk he needed him to be. [b]Job Title & Description[/b]: Llewelyn is part of a 2 man act involving daring acts of gymnastics and sleight of hand. From knife juggling, throwing, and the eventual catching, to cartwheeling and summersaulting through flames and other dangerous “things”. The untrained eye would see Llewelyn’s job as incredibly dangerous. Number of Souls You Have to Collect: ((1,000,000)) Number of Years You Have to Collect Souls: ((200)) [b]What Was Your Wish?[/b] For the Demon Glandrech to regain his immortality. How Many Souls Have You Collected? 0 How Long Have You Been at the Carnival? I plan on the character's arriving at the carnival to be the first thing I write about in character. [b]How the Collection of Souls has Affected Your Character?[/b] Having grown up a murderer and a thief, the act of collecting soul has not really swung Llewelyn one way or another. He sees the act as a necessary evil he must complete in order to preserve that which is important to him, as well as the promised eventual release from Glandrech’s service. The knowledge that he must collect as many souls as he must, as well as the time span he would inevitably be in this carnival has done much to crush Llewelyn’s spirits. [b]Personality[/b] Llewelyn has always had trouble interacting with others. His life as a street urchin in one of the most dangerous cities in the realm has made it difficult for him to trust people, and the nature of his relationship with Glandrëch only furthered this sentiment. That said he is able to become well acquainted with others he works with or lives with for extended periods of time. His having a sister as a child has made it easy for him to get along with women, though the nature of his lifestyle, as well as recent medical developments, have made it difficult for him to maintain relationships. [b]Ugly Placeholder Bio[/b] Llewelyn grew up in the slums of Krÿmias, one of the more dangerous cities of Azure. From age 9 to 20, Llewelyn’s life was constantly in the balance. The first couple of years of his life in Azure were spent with a small gang of young beings like himself, led by an 18 year old mutant. The gang would steal and mug to survive, a profession that led many of the members to early deaths due to the nature of the city’s inhabitants. For years Llewelyn bounced between gangs, betraying the weaker ones in order to ensure his survival and staying in line with the stronger ones. When Llewelyn was 14, his luck finally ran out. He had been a member of a gang, the first where he respected some of the members, and life was going relatively well for him. On one particularly dreary day, two men showed up at the group’s hideout. The two were corrupt enforcers who were sent to kill all the members of this particular gang, as the gang had stolen from the wrong person at one point or another. Almost all of the gang members were killed, save Llewelyn and a few cowards who fled. Llewelyn was taken to a jail to have his soul removed and body harvested, but the carriage he was being transported in was struck by another one. Llewelyn killed the two enforcers while they were stunned, and fled into the city streets, mortally wounded and disoriented. He was found in a dumpster by and old warlock, who took pity on him and nursed him to health. When he woke up, Llewelyn stole some of the “shinier” objects he could see and fled. With the money he made from these objects, Llewelyn bought some nicer clothes and got a job at an inn. For about a year, things went smoothly. One day, a group of kids not to different than the ones Llewelyn used to run with held up the in. Accidents happened, and the inn was burned to the ground. Llewelyn was picked up by some enforcers who came to put out the fire. He was recruited into the city watch and worked as one of the men he used to and still did hate. (throughout this whole time, Llewelyn made close friends, lovers, and acquaintances who helped him through his time in the city. I just hate writing these summaries of character’s lives so I’ll go into them later) ((((^^^^^^^^[b]FIX ALL OF THIS[/b]^^^^^^^^))))) When he was 20, Glandrech's husks came for him. Llewelyn was brought to Glandrëch's hideout, an abandoned mansion in a secluded valley. It was here Llewelyn learned the nature of his relationship with Glandrëch, as well as the influence the demon had had over the events of his life. Llewelyn was given the stone ring, as well as an ultimatum: "Play the part we need you to, or bring hell to all those you hold dear". Llewelyn became one of Glandrëch's greatest husks, performing his jobs with efficient brutality and never voicing a word of complaint. Eventually, Glandrech gave Llewelyn a strange order: “Go to the carnival and get me my immortality back. Do this, and our ties are cut”. [b]Additional important notes[/b] At some point, Llewelyn had twins. These children, along with everyone Llewelyn has ever met, are what Glandrech uses as leverage to control him. If Llewelyn were to die, his curse would be passed on to the next generation of his family. If Llewelyn disobeys an order or abandons his mission, the stone ring he wears will induce mind shattering pain and eventually kill him (unless he promises to never do whatever he did again, of course). The only way for him to be free of this curse is to do as Glandrech asks until his supposed eventual release, a time which Llewelyn can only hope for. [i] Sugary Poison[/i] [/hider]
