[center] [img]http://i1170.photobucket.com/albums/r523/Ningxx/Batchelor.jpg[/img] Name: Nathaniel Cross, but he goes by Grimm [h3] Basics [/h3] Gender: Male Race: Human-Reaper hybrid Age: 16 Height: 5'11 ft Weight: 172 lbs Hair Color: Silver Eye Color: Ice Blue Skin Color: Pale Figure: Lean, muscular, shoulders are slightly less broad than what one would expect for someone his age. Job: Student, I guess [h3]Powers[/h3] Soul Stones: He can uses the power of souls trapped in certain gems to give himself certain abilities and skills, based on how the being that possessed that soul died. Souls in his possession: Soul of the Beast: Only soul whose being overpowers the circumstances of death, it gives him the ability of the demon, which are Necromancy, enhamced strength, durability, and reflexes. However, the weakness for this ability is that it will turn him into beast driven only by rage and bloodlust and thus he must have a singular goal in mindto use this stone without endangering those around him. Death by Fire: Pyrokinesis, Mid-level skill allows him to make medium sized fire balls Slain by the Sword: Acuikinesis and gives him skills of a skilled swordsman, as well as allowing him to turn his scythe into a sword, high-level skill Death by wolves: Bestows partial Lycanthropy, giving him enhanced senses, reflexes, strength, durability, and speed, but he also gains their weaknesses as well, Mid-level skill Switching between stones requires a wait time of 30 secs, and each stone has a cooldown time of 10 minutes before they can be used again. Eyes of the Reaper: Along with his abilitiy to interact with spirits of the deceased or beings that reside on the other side of death, he can also view the souls of living people, a rough idea of what abilities they may have, and what kind of being they are. Cloak and Scythe: His Cloak is an extension of his soul, andthus can be changed at will to look like any kind of attire he feels is needed, as well as bearing a poclet dimmension that can hold a few crucial things inside it. His scythe is able to cut any possessive spirit out of the host without harming said host, as well as send spirits on their way to the next life. They will also be affected by Soul Stone usage, though it is mostly a cosmetic change. [h3] Weaknesses [/h3] Cost of power: A drawback to using Soul Stones is that one must experience the death the being expeirenced everytime that stone is activated(It is of cou4se sped up to the point that it takes a second to experience, though it usually feels much longer). This tends to take a toll on the minds of many users, as the deaths are usually very unpleasant. Old Wound: Has a scar an old wound in his back that never healed right and causes him a lot of pain if he gets hit there or i falls on it. Neglected: One of the few things that really angers him is when someone tries to act motherly to him, as it reminds him of how his own rarely ever acted in such away towards him. Heroes are fools: Despises those who call themselves the selflessherouc types, thinking them fools destined to an early grave Clueless: Due ti his father putting an emphasis in teaining rather than living, he has very little in the ways of real world experience, social skills, or basic ettiquette. This makes him seem a lot colder and ruder than he really is, though his apathetic introversion makes it difficult for him to clear things up. [h3]Personality[/h3] Grimm is a rather stoic individual, not being one for displays of emotion of any sort. Tending to be more of an observer type, he has a tendancy to just watch people go by their business, usually drawing anything that interests him as he does so. He has a rather bleak view on life sometimes, something attributed to both his use of Soul Stones and his mothers death by those who know him. [h3]Background[/h3] He grew up on the road most of the time, as his mither was something of a traveling hero of sorts, going around the world to help anyone in need. And while he did look up to his mother for what she did, he sometimes couldn't help but resent her for it as well. She was always so busy trying to help people, she hardly spent anytime with him, nit because she didn't lovehim, but because she was too enamored by the romanticism of what she did. One day, however, disaster struck. His mother was killed by a demon, an event which caused him to awaken his own powers as a Reaper and finish the fiend as it tried to escape. After that event, however, he found himself in the care of his father, a Reaper of Great power and influence, who worked tirelessly to train Grimm into the finest reaper there ever was. He was a cold man, however, and did nothing to help Grimm recover from the trauma of his mother's death, leaving him to resent her for dying, for leaving him alone in this world, for never being there for him and always being there for others.
