here we go [hider=Lizard Beastkin Mercenary] [b]Name:[/b] Grimlit [b]Age:[/b] 42 [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Race:[/b] Lizardman [b]Current Appearance:[/b] [img]http://rp.alexarnold.ca/grimlit/grimlit_s.jpg[/img] In most settings however, he prefers a [url=http://rp.alexarnold.ca/grimlit/suit.jpg]suit[/url]. Tailor made, of course. [b]Personality:[/b] Grimlit, in keeping with every outward impression, is a very no-nonsense kind of guy. Over time he has entirely abandoned his tribal roots and given up any typical cultural mannerisms in favour of more 'civilized' ways. That isn't to say that he is polite all of the time, Grimlit certainly has a mean streak as wide as his tail is long. [b]Brief Backstory:[/b] Grimlit started his young adult life off as a guide for foreign traders in his homeland, showing them the ways to survive in the dangerous swamps and jungles. Perhaps as was inevitable he began to lengthen his trips, even into the vities of Grandia and Felbar. Eventually after one such trip he didn't bother returning to his homeland. Now the lizard beastkin is a professional bodyguard and sometimes mercenary for hire. He has a reputation for getting the job done while adhering to the letter, instead of the spirit, of his contract. [b]Abilities:[/b] Strength - His subspecies is one regarded for it's brute strength. He easilly matches any Dehmel in raw power but his taller stature and greater weight gave him an advantage in leverage. Thick Scales - Grimlit's species is also known for it's extreme durability. Lead shot and pistol rounds from all but extremely close range fail to penetrate fully and even rifle rounds at longer ranges are not guranteed to have any major effect. Acute senses - He has vision on par with that of a human but also posesses a limited amount of infrared vision and a greater ability to see at night. Grimlit can also detect scents at extreme ranges but this is hampered sometimes in busy public areas. [b]Skills:[/b] Hand to hand - Grimlit's tribe had a long history of warlike behavior. To go more than a few months without a regional or local conflict was unheard of. As such he is proficient in armed or unarmed close combat but prefers to use his fists, claws and teeth. It is also useful to note that he fails to see how the two nations still haven't proceeded to outright war. Firearms - Grimlit prefers shorter weapons like pistols and shotguns to longer rifles. He prefers to not use them but won't hesitate once it is apparent that they might be the thing to give him an edge. [b]Equipment:[/b] Pistols - A pair of heavy, custom made semi-automatic pistols in a single hip holster. He doesn't have the dexterity to fire them both at once and even has difficulty reloading them under fire, which is why he has two of them. Shotgun - A custom lever action shotgun in a scabbard on his opposite hip. The larger shells are easier for him to manipulate and reload and it is his go-to weapon for more intense fire fights. Natural Weapons - His teeth and claws are both phenomenally strong and sharp, as expected of apex predator. [b]Origin:[/b] Native [/hider]
