[hider=D.I.E.] [b]Name:[/b] Dmitri Iris Evans [b]Age:[/b] 29 [b]Race:[/b] Human?? [b]Sex:[/b] Male [b]Affiliation:[/b] None. A wanderer with connections. [b]Appearance:[/b] A man with short black hair and a rather skinny build akin to that of a swimmer's body which is called otter mode. Dmitri is 6'3 in height and approximately 80.7 kg (178 lbs). He used to have longer hair but an altercation with a plan gone wrong had forced him to cut his hair shorter and also change his dressing style. He usually seen wears black cargo pants, and white long sleeves worn underneath a blue hoodie shirt as he seems to feel almost always cold despite not being cold himself. Otherwise, he opt for sleeveless hoodies for functionality and aesthetics. He has an intricate celtic-like tattoo behind his left ear that spreads down to his shoulder, chest, and back which he had started getting at a younger age to hide scars that he had accumulated throughout the years. Dmitri also sports his personal "jewelry store on his head" because of his multiple piercings on his ears, left eyebrow, and his lower lip. However, Dmitri's face is usually described as "nice" or "kind" because of his soft features and usually gentle demeanor granted that he is not sporting his smug grin and predatory eyes. (art to follow) [b]Personality:[/b] [hider=Personality] Dmitri is a selfish person. If given the choice of losing some time and saving a person, he would rather save some time unless the other person is important to his own survival. He learned that humans only think for themselves therefore he should as well in order to survive. This is brought up from his past and because he had learned that everything is replaceable, and this includes items and people. This is applicable unless a person is odd or valuable enough to be indespensible. This ends up with him turning into a people pleaser at times to the point of hurting himself at times, but he tries to strike a balance between getting what he wants and dying for others. But he tends to feel conflicted between pleasing people and saving his own so he ends up switching randomly between the two general mindsets. In terms of violence, Dmitri prefers to watch fights (sometimes even instigate it). If you were looking for the devil's advocate, you've found it personified within Dmitri. However he prefers staying physically out of it because he knows that he is not physically strong enough to overpower larger and stronger people, but he knows that he is capable enough to get people to kill for him in return for something, be it some kind of possession, money, another person, or information. But if the need arises, he knows that he could take care of himself as long as he is faster than the other guy, and if he keeps moving. Dmitri also has a tendency to prod people for information and he finds it fun to gather information from people in different ways. His last method of information extraction can be torture, however. He would rather steer away from this because he knows that he enjoys this far too much that he tends to get carried away. His penchance for morbidity shows in his passing words. [/hider] [b]Occupation:[/b] Wandering bard and part-time information broker. He tries to be a jack of all trades as a means to support himself in any means possible. (Casteless) [b]Equipment:[/b] [list] [*] [i]Shade :[/i] a black acoustic guitar with grey gradient paint from the lower portion of the body till half-way towards the air hole of the guitar. At one of the sides of the guitar's body has the word "Shade" burned into the guitar (but the etching is usually facing Dmitri when he plays because of his left-handedness). [indent] Shade is a mineral weapon. Or mineral "tool" to be precise. When played by a player that it deems skilled enough, Shade can turn songs and emotions into "reality" for the player's audience/s. However, contary to its name, it does not allow itself to create personal nightmares to its listeners as it prefers to read people and show stories, not nightmares. But these realities are more of illusions, illusions that can materialize and be interacted with depending on how much the audience believes it to be. It can function as a distraction if the user is in danger, but it refuses to function as a torturing tool. [/indent] [*] [i]The wires :[/i] these are two industrial-grade wires a little less than 3mm thick and 2.5 meters long capable of carrying up to one ton's worth of weight. It has small notches with grooves towards the end that can be used as weights if it was meant to be a whip, or for different attachments (like a grappling hook or a various bladed attachments that makes it function like a whip or a morning star). This is both a weapon and an item usually worn around Dmitri's waist like an additional belt of sorts. [*] [i]Bonnie and Clyde (plus the kids) :[/i] Two daggers (black and silver) and some throwing knives. The daggers can be attached to the wires. The daggers are on his belt and the "little ones" are hidden throughout his outfit. [*] [i]L'il kitty :[/i] a small leather case for a dissection kit . It also has a sewing kit at the back. [*] [i]The bags :[/i] his two bags. These consists of a black heavy-duty hardcase for his guitar and items used for its maintenance, and his mailbag where he carries most of his amenities and personal items. [/list] [b]Abilities:[/b] [list] [*] [i]Silver tongued McGuyver(occupational) :[/i] he had learned to lie and sweet-talk so well that he is almost a psychological liar. He would try to sweet-talk, lie, or bribe his way out of everything for the sake of self preservation. In tandem he learned to make do of what he finds or has to get himself out of everything that he gets into. [*] [i]Jack-of-all-trades (occupational):[/i] moving all the time required him to learn all that he can to help him survive in the wastes and in cities. Be it from massaging, to chopping choice cuts of meat, to other abilities. But as wide as his skillset may be, he remains true to the old saying: "jack-of-all-trades, master of none." [*] [i]Fast hands (Racial and occupational):[/i] Dmitri's father was gifted with fast reflexes which was an ability that Dmitri had inherited and honed as he lived in the shanty town in the outskirts of the southern city where the casteless lived in poverty. Throughout his life, he had lived off of stolen goods which he had to take home or sell for sustenance for himself and his alcoholic father. [*] [i]Psychich b*st*rd (racial and occupational) :[/i] presumably inherited from his mother and honed throughout his life, he has learned to read people but their movements are being reacted by him almost instinctively. [*] [i]Hardy (racial and occupational) :[/i] living dangerously served him well. It had made him somewhat harder to kill because of his experiences. [*] [i]Green with envy (racial) :[/i] he is an envious person at heart and the drive to be anything less than exceptional makes him strive into making himself a better person than the other guy. This can bring him down if he could not see any improvements on himself and he would end into a self-destructive fit. [*] [i]Brainy (racial):[/i] he is a fast learner and has the capability to store and retrieve long-term memories easier than most people. His photographic memory and his ability to logically place two and two together helps him read between the lines as well as learn to exploit cued weaknesses of his targets. This is presumed to have come from his mother's side. [/list] [b]Biography:[/b] [i]"Perhaps this tragic tale would be best told in another time, yes!"[/i] [/hider]
