He’s a little fun to play out so I figured I’d bring him in here as well[/i][/center] [hr] [center][b][h3][color=00a99d]About Boris[/color][/h3][/b][/center] [center][b]Species:[/b] Half human. [b]Gender:[/b] Male. [b]Age:[/b] Uncertain, but somewhere in his mid to late twenties.[/center] [b][u][color=00a99d]Appearance[/color][/u][/b] [indent][indent]Boris the Bonecrusher has light blue eyes. He stands at 6’11” and built like a brick shithouse. He is not fat, he is all ripped mounds of muscle. He is bald with little to no facial hair, a strong jaw, and has features leaning more towards the babyface side. He wears basic gray trousers, well-worn black boots and a cream, collarless pullover short-sleeve shirt with three buttons at the V-cut neck. (similar to a collarless polo shirt). The three buttons are never fastened, as Boris’s massive muscular structure makes the shirt a tight fit and the buttons don’t reach. He couldn’t find a larger size to wear, but often considers finding or even making a new shirt that fits better. [/indent][/indent] [u][b][color=00a99d]Backstory[/color][/b][/u] [indent][indent]Boris is the son of a human woman and a mischievous God. He was not aware of his real father’s existence until he was an adult, and even then he wasn’t sure if the story was true. He was raised with four brothers by his mother and stepdad, his stepdad being a man who led him to believe he was his natural father through his childhood. Boris, sadly, suffered a tremendous amount of physical abuse from his stepdad, which result in brain damage, and therefore Boris isn't the smartest man you will ever meet. He ran away from home at the age of thirteen and embarked on a life of crime in an effort to survive. His crimes consisted mostly of thievery in the areas of food, though he wouldn't hesitate to steal items of greater value if the opportunity presented itself. He was also responsible for killing several of the people he stole from before eating certain members of their person, bones and all, which is how he gained the reputation as The Bonecrusher. When he was in his early 20's, and on the run from the law, he entered a town called Waise, where he joined forces with a group of adventurers and monster hunters to take down the resident evil. While in this town, Boris also acquired a weapon called 'Revel Yell', presented to him by his actual father, a God by the name of Revel, who also informed Boris of his true heritage at that time. Nevertheless, Boris’s memory of Waise and the events that took place there have become fragmented, almost as though it didn’t really happen… maybe… and are now more like the memories of a distant dream. He isn't even sure if a place called Waise even exists. Since his highly questionable experiences in the town of Waise, Boris has endeavored to change his ways, likening himself to an adventurer - just like the friends he met in the town of Waise - a defender of anyone he might find to be in mortal danger. Alas, every now and then when Boris loses his temper, which happens more often than he’d like, he does revert to is old ways. At times such as these, while overcome with rage, he will find himself doing naughty things, like stealing or, in some cases, eating parts of his victims. Aside from what was previously mentioned, Boris, despite his intimidating size, comes across as a gentle giant to most people he meets. He’s generally polite and moderately mannered unless of course you are a girl, or you piss him off. [/indent][/indent] [u][b][color=00a99d]Magic[/color][/b][/u] [indent][indent]Although Boris’s less than convincing memories of Waise suggest he had - at least at one stage -the powers of a demigod, there’s no evidence that he still possesses such abilities. This alone is reason enough for Boris to think that the memories of Waise are no more than a figment of his imagination. But of course, if Waise and the events that took place there never really did existed, then where in fact did he acquire Revel Yell from? Like so many things in life, this question has Boris stumped. One could say, that aside from the unlikely possibility of once being able to do God-like things, he now doesn’t appear to have any magical powers at all. Except, of course, those granted to him by the enchantment of his Dragon Bone.[/indent][/indent] [u][b][color=00a99d]Weapon[/color][/b][/u] [center][h2][color=00a99d]Revel Yell[/color][/h2][/center] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/GmbTLGE.png[/img][/center] [indent][indent][b]Revel Yell [/b] is just shy of 2 meters in length. It is not just made from the bone of a dragon, it is in fact a bone taken from a dragon Boris had killed earlier in his life, and enchanted by his real father. Or… at least that’s what his less than convincing memories of Waise tells him. In any case, regardless of the truth behind how he obtained the weapon, Revel Yell does have a peculiar enchantment: While in battle, the bone will release yells - something like the battle cry of a dragon - when striking its enemy. This beastly yelling isn’t always present, it is really only heard when Boris is delivering pivotal blows. However, Revel Yell does have a physical effect on Boris as well: While in combat, the bone will add strength, energy and agility to Boris, ultimately enhancing his prowess each time the bone makes contact with the enemy. The more Revel Yell makes contact with his enemy, the more Boris’s aforementioned abilities are gradually enhanced. While the enchantment is active, Revel Yell emits a cyan glow. Unfortunately, this enchantment has what would be an expected side effect: Once Boris stops fighting, or happens to pause for a certain amount of time during combat, the energy and strength acquired from Revel Yell rapidly starts to wear off, leaving Boris in a heavily fatigued state. How fatigued Boris is after a battle, depends on how much power he syphoned from the weapon during battle. In extreme case, Boris will be drained so heavily after a fight that he will simply pass out on the spot and sleep for hours. He also snores quite loud.[/indent][/indent] [u][b][color=00a99d]Items[/color][/b][/u] [indent][indent]Boris has a backpack, which holds numerous items like flint, dried foods, and other common traveler items. He has an 8 inch hunting knife sheathed on the left of his leather trouser belt, while on the right side of the belt he carries a waterskin (made from a cow bladder). Revel Yell, is carried between his backpack and back by the sheath of a leather strap that is wrapped diagonally around his torso. [/indent][/indent] [u][b][color=00a99d]Other[/color][/b][/u] [indent][indent]Boris sure doesn’t like girls, on account of them being so mean. But Boris does like cookies a lot, that’s for sure! Lately Boris has been waking up in a different location than he had fallen to sleep in. The distances between locations varies a great a deal. Sometimes he will wake up just a few meters from where he remember going to sleep, while at other times he will wake many miles away. An explanation as to why this is happening isn’t clear, but it does have the big man concerned.[/indent][/indent] [/hider]
