Name: Gonad Yaksplitter
Title: The Lord of the Rising Sun
Age: 34
Height: 7'2"
Weight: 499 pounds
Race: Human
Class: Warrior
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Eye Color: Hazel



Appearance: Pure unadulterated muscle. Lean muscle that ripples under his flesh like the waves of the ocean. He has muscles on his muscles. Feet Muscles. Finger muscles. Muscles in places that muscles should not be. A grisly body resembling tanned granite that might as well have been chistled by the gods. Bulging veins, thick and course. Tendons like steel cords. Fingers like blunt iron rods. Long, sinewy limbs crafted for naught but the deliverance of phenomenal destruction. Innumerable scars in all shapes and sizes coat his body. There are hundreds upon hundreds. Where the scars did not cover him, coarse manly hair thick and strong like steel wool does. A great dark gray beard speckled with the blood and bone flakes of his foes flows down his freakishly striated chest in thick, oily waves reminiscent of the River Styx. From it emanates the very stench of death and graverot, every bit as inescapable as his lurid glare. Within the primordial human's single eye burns an undying flame, sizzling hotter than the arse-winds of Satan himself.

Weapons and Equipment: His body, occasionally a set of thick six kilo runite (a foreign metal of nigh-indestructible toughness) bracers and a pair of dragon gauntlets (a metal that is a tier above runite, also almost indestructible). He often wears the "Tzhaar-Kal-Ket" (runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Fire_cape), an incredibly rare and magical cloak bestowed upon those few in history who have triumphed over the brutal challenges of the volcano-dwelling Tzhaar. It is impervious to flame and incredibly durable. He also always keeps an enchanted "Inoculation Brace" (runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Inoculation_b..) on his ankle.

Physical Abilities/Skills: Regarded in his home realm as the greatest martial artist and warrior to have ever lived, Gonad boasts tremendous dynamic and static strength as well as the primal grace and speed of a wild animal. He fights through experience and instinct, capable of reacting to attacks through muscle memory before he consciously registers them. Gonad is the supreme master of his own body, and can control its functions at will. He can enter into berserk states, constrict blood vessels to keep from losing fluids, and transmit senses other than sight through his visual cortex along with a plethora of other abilities.
His tolerance for pain is complete and unyielding, and Gonad witholds a vast array of rare and lethal wisdom to the point of being said to know of over one-thousand ways to kill with his bare hands.


(An example of Gonad's strength)

Weaknesses: Gonad lacks ranged weapons and is completely devoid of any magical skill or energy. He is, as they say, a One Trick Pony.

Background: Gonad is a legendary warrior who hails from the realm of Gielinor, a faraway land entrenched in fantasy and warfare. He has seen countless wars, killed countless enemies, made countless friends. To recount the barbarian's many adventures would be an exercise in futility, for the blood wrought odyssey of Gonad transcends time and experience. Though if requested, a Wikia link to said background shall be provided.

Name: Daniel of Columbia

Age: 34

Gender: Male



Bio:

Born in the war-torn remnants of the former United States, Daniel of Columbia serves as a staunch Knight of D.C., an implacable bulwark against the raiders and mutants that plague the irradiated wastes of the nation of his fathers. His air of sharply maintained tradition and unflappable calm reassures his fellow soldiers of their unquestionable safety, and his well trusted and often bloodied weaponry creates that safety before he bothers asking questions. This knight knows and serves one creed-- Do Not Retreat.

Powers and Abilities:

• Daniel is far beyond the peak of the human caliber, pushing the limits of human strength, speed, and endurance well into the territory of supersoldiers who were once abused in the Sixth and Seventh World Wars. He is able to cover a distance of twenty meters within three seconds while charging, and needs no more than a second before attaining full (and often deadly) ramming speed. This capacity to accelerate is complemented by superhuman agility, and unhindered, he is able to slow from full tilt to a complete stop within ten feet. His strength is such that he can toss weights of up to five hundred pounds with relative ease, can push or kick loads of up to half a ton without apparent strain, and can lift a maximum of roughly a ton with time and effort. Furthermore, his punches are strong enough to shatter small craters in concrete, bend rebar like licorice, and cuts from his sword have been noted to split a supermutant cleanly in half. He can jump to a maximum of four meters at rest and twelve meters at speed, and is naturally resistant to small arms fire.
• Daniel's skills in violence are unparalleled among mere mortals, and he is no less than masterful with his riot shield. He has maintained a regimen of survival and battle against the varied hazards of the post-apocalypse for years, putting his skills on par with those of hardened veterans of wars long past. For instance, some applications of his arsenal include reducing or increasing the distance of his slides and charges by applying his shield as a brake or a sled. He further shines in close quarters combat, where he can upset an opponent's guard by ramming, then furthering his assault by utilizing his shield as a buffer to position to a more favorable direction of attack. He is also able to turn his physical capability to the precision of swordsmanship, where he is able to match other superhumans in technical execution. He is in complete control of his body, wastes no movement, and wastes threats with extreme prejudice.
• Daniel has also proven himself to be a sound tactician, able to recognize his value as a one man shock detachment and commando. In addition to serving the Knights of D.C. as the equivalent of a platoon of soldiers, has demonstrated the capacity to coordinate several units to success in the achievement of battlefield scale military objectives. He also possesses a sound habit of experimentation in battle, and will not hesitate to assess the capabilities of his opponent, modify his strategies on the fly, and exploit the most efficient means of neutralizing potential threats. Often, he will opt to talk rather than engage in combat immediately, but behind the veneer of communication, the wheels are turning to find out weak points.

Weapons and Equipment:

• Responsive Carbide Anti-Personnel Blade: Manifest
  
  A sword composed of a tungsten carbide alloy shell folded around a nano-reactive polymer, the Manifest would be no more than an expensive affectation in the hands of most other soldiers. For Daniel of Columbia, this eccentric anachronism lives out the purpose of its ancestors en masse, taking advantage of Daniel's raw physical prowess to sunder foes tougher than the capabilities of normal small arms fire. When making a surgical incision deep into dangerous territory, the Manifest is a weapon that allows its owner to maximize his personal potential as a walking slaughterhouse, and make deep, personal incisions into the biological equivalent of a nuclear bunker.
• Reflexive Diamond Riot Shield: Destiny
  
  Daniel of Columbia's signature weapon, a riot shield modeled after those carried by the establishment forces in the Engagement of 2084, the final death rattle of the short lived Provisional American Confederacy. In any case, the shape of this shield sends almost genetic chills of fear down the spines of those who violate the rule of law in the Capital Wasteland, and its name is a harsh yet accurate reminder of exactly what it means when a would be criminal has his head split into the dust at the jaw. Technically speaking, it is even tougher than the Manifest in terms of raw shock absorbency; the result of a perfected process of 3 dimensional printer layering to stack and chemically treat carbon molecules in a manner which gives it the fabled strength of diamond coupled with the flexibility of modern polypropylene. The result is an incredibly resistant super shield, able to crash and shatter opposition, and hold the line when the opposition attempts to crash back.
• Active Body Armor: Ghillie Suit
  
  To further augment his combat effectiveness, Daniel of Columbia has been fitted with a suit of armor composed of ultralight compacted ceramic plates, a breathable, fire retardant, acid neutralizing reactive polymer, and a bitchin' scarf. His armor is sufficient to mitigate damage from creatures that hit almost as hard as he does and pack claws to boot, but suffers from the classic failing of plate armor to completely deflect crushing and piercing damage. While Daniel primarily relies on his agility and shield to keep him safe, his armor will serve well against even the most persistent foes long enough for him to end hostilities.
