A strong people sure of their traditionalist ways, trained a young Whisper in the arts of the tribes bloodline magic, Terramancy. Haruseme life was that of union with nature. Tribesmen were to be one with it. To flow and adapt just as nature did. As a result, Harusemites could claim the crown of the strongest Terramantics on earth. Yet, the tribe was akin to hermits. Keeping out of worldly affairs for generations, and for most of Whispers life. This was so up until the war cam about. Elders for generations had prophesied of a magical armageddon that would destroy life as everyone knew it. The Harusemites sent out a legion of it's most elite warriors that of which included Whisper himself. After the wars end came, most if not all the surviving Harusemites returned to the jungle. But Whisper stayed behind. Just as nature did, he had adapted to modern life, and found it superior to that of the pillar like traditions invoked back home. As a result of his new found freedom, Whisper took to exploring the world that he never knew, that is until his tribes efforts in the war were recognized by Marchand magistrates and he was offered and opportunity to teach the next generation. He no doubt accepted.[/i][/indent] | P e r s o n a l i t y r e p o r t s : | [indent][i]Just like there are two sides to every story, there are two sides to every person. Whisper's duality comes in the form of how the public perceives him and who he is on a personal level. Furthermore; Whisper, has three distinct ways of looking at things: contemplative, direct, or dubious. As a primal being, Whisper has ties to nature unmatched by most people, but unlike other nature mages, he is not content to wait in the dark recesses of the dwindling forests. For example: Whisper has no concept of land ownership, rather he believes land belongs to nature itself. He is an aggressive, ambitious manifestation of nature’s patience and power, and is able to walk through the cities of man as easily as he can meditate in the glades of a verdant forest. His emotional set consists of a phlegmatic disposition, generally unemotional and stolidly calm. Which usually leads to assumptions of a depressed, cynical man, but bitterness and hate has yet to taint his soul. He still has an optimistic view of the world, harbors idealistic dreams, and naively believes that people can be trusted. Whisper maintains no disillusion about the state the world is in, however. But it’s a testament to his integrity and nobility, how he has remained an honest and responsible person. In combat, Whisper is: controlled, focused, steady, and conscientious of his surroundings. Every decision is made cautiously and pragmatically; he's vigilant in his efforts and never impulsive. He strives to apply the same manner of thinking to every facet of his life. This is why he doesn't interfere in every dispute and is content with watching until needed. When it comes to Whisper's ability to handle sudden changes and disagreement, his open-mind enables a high degree of adaptability. Because of that, he's able to be tolerant and forgiving of ignorance; whether he's willing to, differs from scenario-to-scenario. But to avoid any interactions outside of his teachership, he projects a rough, cold exterior. He even goes as far as exiling himself, which further lends to the mysterious lone wolf persona he has adopted. This facade is obviously a guise however, as evident in his altruistic behavior. Once his icy shell has been broken, his warm nature will shine through and the courteous, cultured individual with a unique sense of humor and charm will be revealed. [/i][/indent] | A p p e r a n c e : | [indent][i]Amongst common people, Whisper is an abomination. His abnormal growth and muscle mass has corrupted the standard long, slender frame of most people into a hulking giant of 5'8" ft -- 5'11" when in armor -- with an astonishing weight of 200 lbs exactly. His monstrous body is wrapped in soft, earthy toned skin, like brown autumn leaves during fall. Coincidentally, there is further similarity between Whisper and leaves present within the linear patterns in his skin and the veins in a leaf. These lines form intricate designs that cover his entire body, converging at a single point to form a strange Symbol on the back of his neck. Though you would never know it, for the symbol is always obscured by dreaded locks of brown hair, which fall just passed his shoulder blades. His face has long since been a victim plagued by these obstructions. Often, stray, rampaging lochs will seek to interrupt the world seen through Whisper's deep brown eyes, which discern that he has seen much more than his youthful features let on. This fact is reassured after hearing his voice that is filled with the certainty of knowingness from experiences passed.[/i][/indent][/indent] [center]————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— [h3]Combat Reports[/h3] [sub]From detailed reports from previous missions and academy sparring matches[/sub] [i]"Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees."[/i][/center] | P r i m a r y: | [indent][i]Terramancy (Agrokinesis Specialist)[/i][/indent] | S e c o n d a r y: | [indent][i]Healing and Tracking[/i][/indent] [u]S k i l l s[/u] [list] [center][b]Combat Prowess[/b][/center] [*] Hand-to-Hand Combat: Although proficiency is diminishing due to lack of practice, Whisper does have training in hand-to-hand combat. The martial art he learned makes use of grapples, holds, and turning your opponents force against them. At its core, it’s a defensive style created for just that purpose. [/list] [list] [*] Melee Combat: While he knows how to use a variety of weapons, experience is primarily applied to one-handed bladed weapons, like knives and daggers. Mastery has only been achieved with swords, specifically dual wielding. [/list] [list] [*] Armed Combat: There is only one ranged weapon that Whisper has skill with, and that is the bow and arrow. Long, short, or cross; he has precision aim with them all, but prefers to use traditional bows. [/list] [list] [*] Woodland Stride: The ability to move through the forest comes naturally to Whisper. He can move through any sort of undergrowth (such as natural thorns, briars, overgrown areas, and similar terrain) at normal speed and without taking damage or suffering any other impairment. However, thorns, briars, and overgrown areas that have been magically manipulated to impede motion still affect him. He also, innately leaves no trail in natural surroundings and cannot be tracked. [/list] [list] [*] Guerrilla Tactics: As a master strategist of guerrilla tactics, which is a form of irregular warfare. Whisper employs the use of: ambushes, sabotage, raids, petty warfare, the element of surprise, and extraordinary mobility to harass a larger and less-mobile traditional army, or strike a vulnerable target, and withdraw almost immediately. [/list] [list] [center][b]Magic Combat[/b][/center] [*]Manifest Nature's Might: Whisper and his bloodline are forever bound to the primal forces of nature itself, manifesting this bond till death. This relationship confers the following benefits: becoming one with nature and attaining knowledge of the surrounding territory. Instantly gaining knowledge of as many as three facts from among the following subjects: the ground or terrain, plants, minerals, bodies of water, people, general animal population, presence of woodland creatures, presence of powerful unnatural creatures, or even the general state of the natural setting. This Terramancy mastery also allows Whisper to commune with nature as a supernatural ability usable at will. This means he gains the constant ability to speak with plants and animals. Whisper can also improve the attitude of animal, befriend them therefore making them his companion, or outright control them. This Terramantic mastery gives Whisper alone the title of Expert if not Grandmaster in the field. [/list] [u]W e a k n e s s e s[/u] [indent]In the case of Magic, Terramancies natural enemy is Pyromancy, which is capable of incinerating the flora a Terramantic is capable of creating. Natural counters to this include the use of earth-style spells, but due to its limitations in the utility field, it falls short in comparison to flora magic. In the case of personality, Whisper's professionalism warrants him little to no actual friends, but instead collages. Only those who take the time to truly try and get to know the tribesmen, can actually befriend him, a process only few have attempted to take.[/indent][/hider] [hider=Marcus "Garvey" Leon][center][img]http://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/dHRmLjQ0LjAwMDAwMC5UV0Z5WTNWeklDSkhZWEoyWlhraUlFeGxiMjQsLjA,/propaganda-sight.shadow-persona.png[/img] ————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— [img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/c0/95/7e/c0957e79dd2036d3195a1bf642cf8f0d.jpg[/img] ————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— [h3]Personalia[/h3] [sub]Information collected by the census office of Marchand[/sub] [i]"."[/i][/center] [indent]| Birthname: | [indent][i]Marcus "Garvey" Leon[/i][/indent] | Nicknames: | [indent][i]Mark[/i][/indent] | Alias: | [indent][i]N/A[/i][/indent] | Sex: | [indent][i]Male[/i][/indent] | Age: | [indent][i]16[/i][/indent] | P o s i t i o n : | [indent][i]Student[/i][/indent] [/indent] [center]————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— [h3]Psychology & History[/h3] [sub]From detailed inspection and investigation by Marchand experts and medical personnel[/sub] [i]“.”[/i][/center] [indent]| Personal biography: | [indent][i]The Leon Family, one of the worlds most notorious private intelligence agencies born out of the 3-Years War. Espionage was known to be the Nigeria-based agencies' forty, and as a result it took on a number of said jobs during the war. As a result, the agency amassed a great quantity of wealth and fame, this carving it's name into the hall of reputable families in the world through it's members masterful use of its bloodline magic: Trickery. Marcus Leon, a member of the Main Branch's secondary family exhibited the talent significant enough to warrant tutoring in the bloodline magic. For only a few years he learned from the families veterans of war. But upon receiving invitation to Marchand the family relented fairly quickly. Especially as word had it that whole families were disappearing. Despite his anxiousness about leaving his home country, his eagerness to explore the the rest of the word overpowers it, [/i][/indent] | P e r s o n a l i t y r e p o r t s : | [indent][i]Marcus is a strong-willed, lighthearted, cheerful young man who yearns for adventure and to experience everything that life has to offer. To most, he is a revered, loyal friend whose beaming personality lightens their day and whose achievements spur them on in their own lives. To others, he is a naive, headstrong troublemaker who shirks the responsibilities of a magician. Both viewpoints are equally valid. Marcus is somewhat mischievous. His trademark oft-present grin and lust for exploring often land him in trouble with conservative, authoritarian figures such as policemen or shopkeepers. He is rather notorious for trespassing just about anywhere, a remnant of his childhood wanderlust and nomadic blood. Thankfully, Marcus is a genuinely well-meaning person, and his lack of borders rarely causes actual harm to the places he wanders into. He respects people's property far more than it seems; he just believes that anything worth hiding is something worth seeing.  Of course, these aspects hide the complex and determined young man underneath. On the reverse side of his frivolous nature is his considerable shrewdness, which makes him quite capable of reading people and situations. He is particularly observant, taking into consideration even the smallest details of his surroundings in order to better understand and deal with challenges and is not above using cheap tricks or questionable tactics to ensure his own survival. Being singularly ambitious, Marcus also has a remarkably tenacious will that allows him to overcome virtually insurmountable obstacles and accept inhuman burdens for the sake of his own ultimate goal. He has a considerable pride that will not stand for having his humanity insulted or condemned by others, but Marcus is also capable of shelving his pride if it becomes something that will stand in the way of his objective. On in class or at home, Marcus exposes a more contained face of his personality. He can be professional when called for, make use of his various abilities when ordered to, and he respects his training and the chain of command like any good student would. Marcus is very protective of family and friends, refusing to allow any harm to come to them and often deem their safety more important than his own in spite of his own personal ambitions and goals. He has to be reminded several times that his own safety is something upon which many people depend and he uses his loved ones as hid primary motivation when all hope seems lost. These idiosyncrasies has played a dynamic part in Marcus' life, not only as a growing mage, but in everyday life. In the early years of his childhood, Marcus found himself playing the prankster, often exploring every nook and cranny his hometown had to offer. While the outside world fascinated him, life at home grew 'overwhelmingly crowded' in his words, as he had adopted the moniker of prodigy within his family due to his affinity to become a mage. Expectation and expectation overwhelmed him, he would carry on the legacy of the Leon, it was all on his shoulders, but he nonetheless resist from shrinking the this responsibility. Taking on the mantle of his families bloodline magic, Marcus pushes himself to show what the Leon are capable of.[/i][/indent] | A p p e r a n c e : | [indent][i]Marcus is a young man who shows off the key traits of an athletic teen, tall and muscular; standing at 5'10" and weighing over 152 pounds despite being ragged on for his poor physical fitness and his tendency to stand with poor posture, slouching over. His has coffee bean-brown skin that is free of blemishes and deep-brown eyes that can be described as almost black. He sports a simplistic hairstyle, usually a fade that is often cut lower in low in the summer months. Despite its simplicity, he seems to care for it more than himself at times, often picking it out when grown in at ill-opportune moments. He sports a shining smile, his white teeth protected by unusually full lips for a man.[/i][/indent][/indent] [center]————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— [h3]Combat Reports[/h3] [sub]From detailed reports from previous missions and academy sparring matches[/sub] [i][/i][/center] | P r i m a r y: | [indent][i]Trickery[/i][/indent] | S e c o n d a r y i n t r e s t: | [indent][i]Tracking and Shadow Step[/i][/indent] [u]S k i l l s[/u] [list] [center][b]Combat Prowess[/b][/center] [*] Stealth: Marcus is already proficient in hiding, spying and infiltration due to his training and domestic experience.
