There’s very little on him that isn’t skin, bone, or muscle, and this shows in his ability to take quite a lot of damage before going down, as well as the above average amount of power he can put into a blow in a fistfight. Because of his lean stature, he’s also relatively quick on his feet, although not as fast as some, and he’s a very agile and flexible individual. His pain tolerance is remarkably high, despite his pain threshold being the same as an average male’s, which is due to his even stronger and more stubborn mindset. He is evenly proportioned in terms of the torso to waist ratio, and, overall, his features have a slightly squared quality to them. His face is very chiseled, despite him only being a teenager. His jawline is well-defined and somewhat square, and, consequently, he has a very strong chin to go with it. His cheekbones are of a regular height and prominence, although his eyes are slightly sunken, giving him a somewhat sleep-deprived appearance even when he is well rested, and he has an aquiline nose as well. As one might expect, his features make him seem a couple years older than he actually is. [b]• Height:[/b] 5’7” [b]• Hair:[/b] Ottavio’s hair is a nut brown color, and it’s relatively curly, somewhat wiry, and thick in texture. In terms of length, his hair is relatively short, although this is somewhat of an illusion due to the texture of his hair. If straightened, his hair would likely reach his neck, but, as it is naturally, it’s only slightly overgrown-looking. It’s typically messy and relatively unkempt-looking, and, although he keeps it relatively clean considering the time period, it’s hardly L’Oreal-beauty-catalogue-worthy. He generally doesn’t style it in any way due to its length, and the fact he doesn’t put very much time at all into even keeping it neat. He’s not currently growing any facial hair, and doesn’t plan on doing so anytime soon. [b]• Eyes:[/b] His irises are a medium shade of brown, though they appear a lighter, almost caramel color when exposed to brighter lighting. They typically have a very guarded, cautious, but generally neutral expression in them, and they rarely change in their expression, except when he’s around people he trusts or when he’s feeling an incredibly powerful emotion. In general, he’s a difficult person to read. [b]• Skin:[/b] Ottavio’s skin is a tanned olive shade, due to its frequent exposure to the elements as he’s traveled and practically lived outside. He doesn’t freckle very easily at all, and, for the most part, his skin rarely, if ever, gets sunburned at all. [b]• Scars / Markings / Etc.:[/b] He has picked up a fair amount of scars from his traveling, as well as his very risky occupation, but there are only a few that are worth individual note. One such scar would be a long, thin scar spanning from the edge of his jawline to his neck, the angle of its path at a slight diagonal. He gained this from an attempt on his life, and does not like to speak about the circumstances behind it. A slightly less dramatic and more recent scar of his is a hypertrophic marring on his left leg, which is a 1-2 inch scar that curves in a crescent shape across the front of his left calf. He gained this during a misadventure in more recent years due to stealing from the wrong kind of person, which was an occasion he learned from. He has no other markings of note, and he has no tattoos or piercings. [b]• Clothing Description:[/b] Ottavio tends to dress in relatively low-quality, nondescript clothing, as he not only can’t afford to buy many nice things, but wearing plainer, easily forgettable clothing is optimal in his current profession. His clothing tends to hang off of his frame somewhat loosely, which is yet another characteristic of his dress that he does by design, as it makes him seem all the less attention-seeking. His typical attire consists of a loose, low-quality linen shirt and a pair of dark-colored pants made from the same material, though his preferred (and only) footwear consists of a pair of sturdy, very well made black leather boots that, despite looking somewhat worn, have held together quite well over the past couple of years. All of these pieces of clothing appear to be in various states of wear, and some are lightly stained from having mud, blood, or other such substances on them. In colder weather, or when he’s trying to keep himself entirely anonymous, he’ll also wear a hooded, navy colored woolen cloak, though it doesn’t do much to keep him warm in extreme cold, as it’s rather thin. He isn’t in much of a position to spend money on frivolities such as hats and other accessories, and furthermore, people can be made more memorable by having such things on their person, so he does without any. [b]• Weapons:[/b] His weapons are the only things he has that seem to be of any exceptional value, but even so, they’re not overly ornate or flashy. His primary weaponry would be a set of a dozen throwing knives he keeps in various places on his person, and, while the majority of them are holstered on a relatively high-quality (but quite worn and old-looking) belt he wears around his waist, he also has two hidden in his boots, one holstered in the back of each shoe in compartments that were specifically hollowed out for them. They all are of the same design, and the blades are made from spring steel, while the hilts are a medium steel coated in brass for decorative purposes. The pommel of each small blade is flat and round, but both the pommel and the hilt sport rather ornate engravings depicting fictional, peaceful scenes of the Italian countryside. His secondary weapon would be a relatively plain falchion made of more or less the same materials as his throwing knives, save without the brass coating. The pommel of this particular blade is somewhat curved, and was forged into a rather detailed likeness of a falcon with its beak opened wide, and the resulting extra ‘sharp’ points of the falcon’s beak gives the blade yet another advantage in combat. The falcon’s eyes consist of a pair of polished lapis lazuli, which are the only precious minerals present in any of Ottavio’s weaponry, and they are firmly set within the falcon’s skull - they’re practically welded into the metal, in fact. Aside from an inscription written in block print Latin running along the ‘duller’ side of the blade, there are no other decorations on this particular weapon. [/hider] [hider=Characteristics] [b]• Gait/Presentation:[/b] Ottavio moves at an unassuming but relatively fast pace, and, although his stride is average in terms of its length, he moves a bit more briskly than the usual person does. His posture is generally quite poor, as he seems to have a preference for slouching when out and among others, giving himself an air of an average lower-class citizen, and this is the result of a ‘blending-in’ tactic that became a default. He tends to try and make himself as unassuming as possible in most situations, however, and, when in crowds, he has learned how to adopt their pace and their posture when the need arises. Despite this, he still gives off the air of someone that ought to be left alone, and his manners are far better than that of the average member of the working class - although he has lost some of the charm and poise he once held when had been living a ‘higher’ lifestyle. [b]• Accent:[/b] Emiliano [b]• Habits / Quirks:[/b] Ottavio has a habit of cracking his vertebrae and neck when he stretches, although he only does this when he’s feeling overly tense or tired. He also tends to avoid eye contact with others when speaking, and frequently speaks in a quieter tone than the average individual does, not out of shyness but from his own inner suspicion and paranoia that he might be overheard and his desire to go as unnoticed as possible. It’s worth mentioning that Ottavio has picked up a rather colorful vocabulary from his time on the streets, and puts it to use quite frequently even when he’s not angry or upset. He usually cusses to put emphasis on something he’s saying, rather than using it as an emotional outlet. [b]• Fighting Style:[/b] Due to his many years out on the streets and frequently engaging in questionable activities, Ottavio isn’t afraid to fight [i]dirty[/i], and he’ll gladly resort to cheap tactics or ‘cheating’ to keep himself and/or his friends alive during a fight. He is equally skilled in mid to close range combat, but has little practice or skill with projectile-based weaponry, and therefore is especially vulnerable to those who wield them - at least, he is from a far distance. In a fight with favorable circumstances for him, he’s almost always on the offensive, looking for a gap in his opponent’s defense or, if there aren’t any easily accessible to him, he’ll come up with a way to get them off their guard. On the defensive, his style becomes considerably more traditional, although it is nowhere near as rigid or practiced as a soldier’s would be and is more of an odd mercenary style.
