Weight: 158 pounds Hair Color: Light Black Eye Color: Brown Skin Color: Fair-skinned Figure: Averagely Built Job: Mechanic Powers: Follower of the First Ancestor: Baptized at birth with the ashes of the “First Ancestor”, the first grandmaster of his clan, he gains inferior abilities of the “First Ancestor”. He can phase out of this reality, seemingly disappearing in a cloud of ash, and appearing in another position, seemingly “teleporting.”. He is also able to blast ash from his fingertips, disorienting others or granting him ample time to relocate. Unnatural Physiology: Through centuries of selective breeding and experimentation, the clan bred what they deemed the perfect warrior. With the general improvements to reflexes, speed, and strength, his body can also ignore some basic fundamentals of physics. For example, he can dash while mid-air, moving towards an enemy with little to no sound. If a projectile weapon enters his body at any point completely, he can use the muscle and bone in his body to change the direction the projectile is moving, avoiding mortal wounds. He doesn’t even need to visually see an enemy to predict their movements accurately. God’s Palm: Advanced martial arts techniques paired with unnatural physiology means he is almost unparalleled in hand to hand combat. Developed by his clan to provide to accompany the almost passive abilities gained from baptism, many foes of the clan were killed because they assumed it was just another martial art. One palm strike using this martial art can split a tree in half- it’s no surprise a user is able to crush bones and organs with ease. Weaknesses: The drawbacks of his “teleport” is that it is not instantaneous, meaning an enemy will have ample time to react. This ability merely shifts him into a different plane of existence, meaning he will still have to physically be able to get to any position he wishes to “teleport” to. He cannot also attack any other being while in this plane. While his unnatural physiology allows him to achieve many superhuman feats, it does not come without a cost. Performing an superhuman act decays his body slowly. Attempting to take advantage of his physiology for an extended period of time leads to his body shutting down, leaving him barely able to walk or crawl, let alone breathe. His skillset is mostly for a single target, up close and personal. Multiple targets present a difficulty for him, as well as any attack that can sweep a large area. Personality: Despite having a less than pleasant background, Joseph doesn’t think much about it. In fact, he’s sociable… But enjoys being a tease. He’s the one who attempts to lighten the mood in bad times. Joseph will probably seem overbearing at times, but he merely wants everyone to enjoy life. Background: Joseph was born to a clan closed off from the world. They had no intention of contacting the outside world- Their small island was enough for them. The main interest of the majority of the clan were in pursuit of a stronger, faster warrior, in order to make sure they could repel any invaders who dared desecrate their lands. Intense training and experiments were common place. Like all members of the clan, Joseph was baptized at the age of eleven, with the ashes of the First Ancestor, the first grandmaster of their clan, The clan’s deity. He then gained his powers and began training under his elders. But of course, like every population who practices some sort of religion, the clan was divided. Some wanted to conquer more lands in the name of the clan, others wished to resurrect the First Ancestor, others wanted to keep to the old ways, and so on. Civil war eventually followed. After the dust settled, Joseph soon was the only one left, saved due to the fact he had decided not to fight. As Joseph had nothing left to gain by staying on the island, he left, leaving behind a mass grave. [/center] [/hider] Favorite character award probably has to go to lelouch.
