[b][u]Name:[/u][/b] Wolfram “Wolf” Koenigsmann [b]AKA:[/b] Crying Wolf, Rusty Knight, Sad Knight, “The Marquis” [hider=Appearance] [img]https://safebooru.org//images/2123/d322f3470dc3bdd81a282741362a241f1bea41c5.png?2212721[/img] [/hider] [u][b]Age:[/b][/u] 17 [u][b]Grade:[/b][/u] Vigilantes Wolf is the son of a “knight,” or better put, an Arms Master. Thing is, there isn't much use for knights anymore. Not only has the world progressed past men in shining armor, but the ancient evil has been defeated and Wolf's family is riding on the last wave of renown and status his ancestors earned. For the first fourteen years of his life, Wolf trained in his father's footsteps, but all the while couldn't help but question if he was doing the right thing. In fact, he felt he was probably wasting his time. He wasn't even a power user, what good would learning to fight do him? Then, one day, things changed for him in a way he could never have expected. As he was simply wandering through the city, he saw a gorgeous girl perhaps a year older. It could be called nothing other than love at first sight. He had never been the most outgoing, but he felt compelled. An almost unnatural drive forced him to speak to her and express that he felt drawn to her. Her name was Vera. Perhaps more unusual was that she on the spot dumped her current boyfriend and said that she would date him. And, from that day forward, she was almost always with him – making his life absolutely miserable. She was controlling, insulting, needy, and aloof. She rarely showed him affection, often only enough to reel him back in for more abuse. However, that same compulsion drives him to suffer through and stay with her. It was shortly after, at the pinnacle of his growing depression that it happened: his powers awakened. He had already begun high school, and so rather than look at a transfer to St. Laurels, he found his way to the Vigilantes, finding they quite appealed to him. As a person, he is exceedingly polite and always wants to be helpful. Generally speaking, no matter how terrible of a day he's had, he'll go out of his way to be nice to people. While he won't often start a conversation, he isn't exactly shy. For the most part, his most negative trait is that he's a bit pessimistic... though this mostly started after he began his relationship with Vera. He also has a pretty terrible sense of humor, and many jokes will go over his head, and just in general he takes things rather literally. That said, he at least has enough common sense to not come across as an idiot even if he isn't exactly a genius. [u][b] Powers:[/b][/u] [b]Core - Dark Embrace:[/b] When deep in the throes of his most negative emotions, his powers manifest as a suit of armor that reflects how he feels. So far, he knows of two forms: [u]1. Impenetrable Sorrow:[/u][hider=Leftmost Armor] [img]https://img00.deviantart.net/1067/i/2017/101/8/a/dark_fantasy__knight_design_by_cglas-db5ijvr.jpg[/img] [/hider] The first appears when he feels emotions that reflect sadness. This armor, in a word, is [i]heavy[/i]. It is a massive suit of black, plated armor with a fully sealed visor. It is well insulated and little can penetrate it. Even light has trouble reaching him, which can make it a bit hard for him to see at times. It is, however, oddly vulnerable to cold. Aside from its absurd protective qualities, it can temporarily emit a sort of gravitational field, slowing anything within five feet, with the effect growing stronger with proximity, but rapidly falling off farther away. This effect only manifests if his emotions are strong enough. That said, he is not immune to the weight of his own armor, making him slow as well. However, the longer he wears it, the more he “adapts” and the easier it becomes to move and his offensive capabilities while wearing it increase. The only downside is that once he adapts too much, the armor and gravity field begin to weaken. Also, no matter how much he adapts, he will always be slower than normal. [u]2. Destructive Rage:[/u] [hider=But Spikier] [img]https://orig00.deviantart.net/ec9e/f/2013/082/8/a/orkish_predator_by_artisansdazure-d5z014c.jpg[/img] [/hider] This one is rarely used, as he does not easily provoke to anger. Or perhaps he's just too smothered by depression to feel “hotter” emotions. This is a light suit of armor covered in spikes. Those who are touched by the spikes feel a burning pain. If someone should get past the armor and injure him, the armor will quickly grow more spikes where he was hurt. He can purge the spikes in a short-ranged area attack. After a short time, the default spikes will regrow. The suit also grants him a sort of momentum. If his rage can be maintained, his strength and fury will build and build making him more vicious and dangerous... until he completely burns out and loses all ability to use [i]any[/i] of his powers for a time. It is impossible to avoid this effect, as either his rage fades along with the armor, or he reaches his burnout. That said, if he can survive the burnout, he can usually proceed activate "Impenetrable Sorrow" at maximum power. [b]First – Black Armory:[/b] He also has learned to summon weaponry forged from his emotions. The weapons do not require emotions as strong, but do get stronger as his emotions do. If he is consumed by one emotion, it will dictate his weapon choice, but on occasion he can manipulate what he calls upon, but it is very difficult to switch from one to another. [u]1. Smothering Sadness:[/u] A trident and net combo, based on his sadness. The net grows heavier with his sorrow and the trident gains a paralytic effect at peak levels. [hider=Trident] [img]https://southernswords.co.uk/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/1/2/121797.jpg[/img] [/hider] [u]2. Violent Fury:[/u] a war-hammer with a pick. The angrier he is, the lighter it feels in his hand, allowing him to swing it harder and faster with little effort. [hider=Smashing] [img]http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/unrealworld/images/4/43/King_Robert's_Warhammer.png/revision/latest?cb=20140528085150[/img] [/hider] [u]3. Peon's Bane:[/u] A flamberge (serrated long sword) born when he feels strong contempt for his opponent. Strikes from it cause intense pain to and sap the strength of the target of his feelings, but the sword can barely even bruise anyone else. [hider=That's gonna sting] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/44/8a/74/448a745058f353c21ab6b7981430b769.jpg[/img] [/hider] [u]4. Coward's Isolation:[/u] When feelings of terror overtake him, he manifests a war bow. When his fear begins to grip him more strongly, the arrows it fires begin to gain a weak homing effect that can even hurt the normally intangible. [b]Second – Consumed by Agony:[/b] [hider=Run] [img]https://pp.userapi.com/c837727/v837727435/1317e/L6_2yY4mjTw.jpg[/img] [/hider] Only ever experiencing it once, it manifested as black and crimson armor and a pure, black blade. The armor was ornate, but the sword simple. He felt a witness to his own actions. In the depths of sheer despair where his own heart saw fit to cease beating under the weight of his pain, it came forth. It was terrifying – but not for him. Though it wasn't directed at her, it was the one time Vera apologized. [b]Third – ???:[/b] [b]Other:[/b] He has his own, personal but totally mundane equipment. A pair of bracers, a simple, steel sword, and a small, wrist-mounted buckler.

She is from a well-off family of merchants, mostly dealing in high-end machinery. She thinks the world of... herself. It's unclear what, if anything, she actually see's in Wolf. It's also unknown whether or not she has powers, or if her relationship with Wolf is purely arbitrary and coincidental. She has a very bad temper and a a bit of a crude demeanor, the worst of which is often directed at Wolf. That said, she can be downright composed and professional with others when need be, a trait learned from her family. Aside from that, in general she is a bit eccentric and rebellious, often distancing herself from her family unless she wants something from them. Some may speculate that she uses Wolf as a distraction or escape from her home life. She has, on rare occasion, been known to take Wolf's side if someone else sees fit to take her place and attempt to put Wolf down. Apparently she likes to reserve this right for herself. How, erm, romantic? [/hider] Meredith: [color=DarkKhaki]Wolf - "Our fathers were comrades in arms, so we've known each other for years!"[/color] [color=magenta]Vera - [i]*glare*[/i][/color] [color=DarkKhaki]Wolf - "V-Vera?"[/color] [color=magenta]Vera - [i]*glaring intensifies*[/i][/color] Thobias: [color=DarkKhaki]Wolf - "Seems like an OK person. It's a shame he seems to be squandering his good fortune in favor of having fun."[/color] [color=magenta]Vera - "Prick."[/color] Kath & Christine: [color=magenta]Vera - "Dumb and dumber."[/color] [color=DarkKhaki]Wolf - "They seem like good people. It doesn't look like they've let their wealth corrupt them. Is Christine really OK at Mephisto's? And that guy she's with... well I really shouldn't talk."[/color] [color=magenta]Vera - "[i]Excuse me?"[/i][/color] [color=DarkKhaki]Wolf - "N-n-nothing!"[/color] Bak: [color=DarkKhaki]Wolf - "Wh-what-"[/color] [color=magenta]Vera - "-the hell?"[/color] Brutus: [color=DarkKhaki]Wolf - "It's hard to talk to him. Neither of us are talkative people, really. Wish he'd open up."[/color] [color=magenta]Vera - *inhale* "Boooooooorriiiiiiiing!"[/color] Aram: [color=DarkKhaki]Wolf - "We both like helping people. I think we'd get along pretty well... if Vera would stop being mean to him. I'm pretty sure they hate each other."[/color] [color=magenta]Vera - "So easy to make him squirm."[/color] Michael: [color=DarkKhaki]Wolf - "I feel like life has really gotten him down. I can relate. I wish I could help, but I don't know how to help with something like that."[/color] [color=magenta]Vera - "I like his paintings."[/color] [color=DarkKhaki]Wolf - "Vera, be ni-. . . wait, what?"[/color] Lise: [color=DarkKhaki]Wolf - "She seems-"[/color] [color=magenta]Vera - "She's literally a princess. A sheltered little princess. Holy shit I can't even..."[/color] [color=DarkKhaki]Wolf - "Uhh... O-OK..."[/color][/hider] [hr] Justification for his power set: Yes, he has a lot, but he can only use one of each at a time, and can't easily (if at all) switch between them. Also, if his emotions get manipulated, it can totally screw him over mid-fight. Be gentle. (Note: Vera would be the least rich rich person in this RP so far. Just fyi.)
