Original Character Signup Name: Gerald Ornstein aka "Tyrann" Age: 18 Gender: Male Species: Soulless human Alignment: Neutral/Anti Hero Appearance: [url=http://imgur.com/xxrq6ot] Gerald base [/url] [url=http://imgur.com/lp5joXI] Gerald Transformed [/url] Powers and Abilities: Gerald's main abilities lie in his sword, Kriemhild. The sword itself exhibits the ability of becoming much sharper when a target gerald perceives as "Evil" is attacked. Due to Gerald's skill with a sword, when he takes a fight seriously it exhibits the ability to launch shockwaves of wind due to the strength of his slashes, as well as the skill with which he wields the sword. The final ability Kriemhild exhibits is one of "sealing" the targets Gerald finishes off with his signature move into its blade. For every foe Gerald seals, the power and sharpness of the blade increases permanently, but only at the cost of further eroding Gerald's mental state. Personality: When Gerald is untransformed, he displays an outwardly nice facade. He will smile when he needs to, cry when he needs to, and get angry when it's expected of him. All in all, the appearance he projects does nothing to hint at his true nature. As Tyrann, Gerald's true personality manifests itself. He takes pride in crushing those he sees as weak, establishing his "Justice" over them. Deeply bitter and sadistic, Gerald wishes nothing more than to see the optimism in an opponent's eyes fade away as he slowly but surely strangles the life out of them with his superior abilities. That being said, Gerald despises those he sees as weak, preferring nothing less than fighting strong opponents and matching his skill with theirs. Biography: The son of a prison warden, Gerald Ornstein's childhood wasn't exactly the most normal one by any means. His father always taught him to do what he thought was right, and to never let anyone but himself dictate his actions. That all changed when a Riot broke out at the prison, and Gerald's father was killed in the ensuing chaos. This event managed to leave a deep wound within the boy, who became obsessed with the idea of "Justice". He believed he could change the world for the better if he could only get rid of the evil people who were dragging it down to the level it was currently at. The answer came in the form of a creature calling itself Philemon, who offered him the power he desired in exchange for one measly thing: Gerald's own soul. There was no need to question the bargain, and the transaction was made. Gerald dedicated himself to pursuing the Justice he had desired for so long, punishing criminals and other lowlives with impunity. But what truly set the stage for his current situation was Philemon turning on him, outing him as a murderer to the humans, who soon began a manhunt for the criminal known as "Tyrann". Justice....there was no such thing, not anymore. The only thing in Gerald's mind now was retribution, to inflict what he had suffered onto Philemon and watch as his life was extinguished before his eyes. For that reason he has been on the run for the past couple of years, reducing his activites to a minimum so as not to attract suspicion. However, he can't stay hidden for long, as there's a new battle on the horizon...
