[b]Name:[/b] Dorian Aps [b]Age:[/b] 24 [b]Height/Weight:[/b] 5'8"/170 pounds [b]Personality:[/b] Everybody's got their stories, Dorian just isn't one who particularly cares to hear them. He'd rather just get straight to the point: he's there to fight and to win, plain and simple, and doesn't want to waste time trying to get to know his opponents beyond learning their combat style and skill sets. Combined with his blunt personality, narcisstic attitude, and the shit-eating grin usually on his face, he could easily be labeled an asshole and is well aware of that fact, and in a way embraces it. Yet he isn't actively antagonistic towards others, as he doesn't like picking fights due to loathing drama and pettiness. Nonetheless, he's a fun guy if the mood's right, and is pleasant enough if you can get past his abrasive vocabulary. [b]Appearance:[/b] [center][img]http://lh5.ggpht.com/_vztFUumgcas/THilg-iF1KI/AAAAAAAAAc4/QO47q4vcsSU/turntimber_ranger_art_by_wayne_reynolds.jpg[/img][/center] [b]Equipment:[/b] [i]Weapons-[/i] His main weapon for close encounters is the rather deadly and large dagger that he keeps at his side at all times. He also has a stock of multiple throwing knives for when he needs to deliver ranged attacks, or to keep up the pressure on a cautious or quick enemy. All of his blades are coated with a poison that slowly disables the victim's nervous system and motor skills over time. [i]Armor-[/i] Standard leather armor. It gives him some protection and freedom of movement, but it won't be stopping any particularly lethal blows. Yet, it might just save his life if it comes down to it. [i]Tools-[/i] He carries a large grab-bag filled with many different types of seeds. Once given an opportunity to do so, his strategy involves tossing out as many of the seeds as he can to spread across the battlefield, giving him even more plantlife to use in his arsenal. [b]Magic:[/b] [i]Nature-[/i] Dorian's prowess with nature magic allows him to control all plantlife however he wants. His gift with it allows him to conduct extreme and rapid growth of any plants within his range, giving him some versatility in what he can do depending on the situation. He can release poisonous powder from flowers, bring about vines to whip and restrain an enemy, unearth roots to trip up and trap targets, raise trees within seconds to use as a shield or barrier; things of that sort of nature. [i]Animals-[/i] Dorian also has a bit of Animal-based magic at his disposal. With it, he can form mental connections with animals, which he uses as a utility skill and in combat. He can give animals commands without having to even say a word, and through his connection with them he can also receive information from them as well. His pet wolf, Timber, is one of his most well-trained animals, and is one that is partcularly useful to him. Timber can be used to scout ahead due to her enhanced senses, using both her sense of smell and supreme hearing to snoop out where an enemy is hiding and then mentally relaying this information to Dorian. She also is deadly if allowed to attack, but Dorian tends to keep her out of harm's way and use her solely for support unless he needs a second offensive unit on his side. [b]Abilities:[/b] Besides his magical abilities, he's actually rather lackluster when compared to many of the other fighters. He is a capable fighter of course and plenty agile, but his reliance on his magic has caused him to be only standard at best and not pick up too many other skills. At best, you could say that he's good at planning ahead in combat, but the same could be said for everyone else. [b]Experience level:[/b] Low-mid. I've been in plenty of RPs where combat was involved, but it was always PVE. I've never actually done much PVP with other writers, and what I have done is usually rather short scenes and never anything complex like what I've in the Arena section.
