[hider=Morgan Hanlock] [center][h1][color=khaki]Morgan Hanlock[/color][/h1][/center] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/msNC6wh.jpg[/img][/center] [center][sub][Before Transformation][/sub][/center] [h3][color=khaki]Age:[/color][/h3] Twenty-Six. [h3][color=khaki]Physical Description:[/color][/h3] Hanlock's fashion sense is definitely one of the things that puts most people off when they first meet him. His wardrobe consists of an array of, mostly sleeve-less, broad-chested, dark-colored customized doublets. He also wears dark mantles and long-coats of leather, not leaving him much room for bulky armor, but leaving his movement flexible, and providing ample concealment for his [i]unnatural features[/i]. Hanlock keeps his dark, rough hair much straighter than he used to, usually holding it in dreadlocks or braided styles that fall to the sides and back of his head, or over his shoulders. In times of relaxation or recreation, he sometimes ties it back in a frayed style with a strap of leather or cloth. Additionally, he has started to grow the beginnings of a dark beard. Hanlock also occasionally wears jewelry, but only during special events(as they can be a hazard to wear in combat). It should also be noted that he wears a black eye-patch on his right eye, which he seemingly never removes. But he doesn't talk much about how, or whether, he actually lost his eye. One of Hanlock's many defining physical features, we can't forget, is his tricorne-style hat. Black with silver-lining, this is his most prized head-piece. [color=khaki]Height:[/color] 6’0, [color=khaki]Eye Color:[/color] Left - Dark Brown, Right - ??? [color=khaki][h3]Personality:[/h3] Positive traits:[/color] [color=khaki]⊳[/color] Motivated [color=khaki]⊳[/color] Out-going [color=khaki]⊳[/color] Competitive [color=khaki]Negative traits[/color] [color=khaki]⊳[/color] Stubborn [color=khaki]⊳[/color] Heedless (In regards to law) [color=khaki]⊳[/color] Greedy [color=khaki]⊳[/color] Brash Hanlock is a person of [i]very[/i] flexible morals. He's willing to commit lesser-evils without so much as batting an eye, but he recognizes there are those out there who are of a much crueler nature, and he won't let them go un-checked if he can help it. When met with a challenge, the buccaneer is not one to shy away. He has a way of tactical thinking people may not expect from someone who is, outwardly, quite brash. When granted the time, he analyzes a situation before taking action, then going for what he assumes the most successful approach, often-times without the consent of his companions. This is majorly because he is accustomed to being the Captain of the crew, and making all the decisions for himself. In his spare time he enjoys drinking booze, playing manly party games, and telling [s]tall[/s]tales, just as a pirate rightly does. One thing that he does do differently than a true pirate does, however, is meditate. He does this because he believes it helps him to channel the wild, radioactive-like energy that was forced into his body from his past. He doesn't get to go raiding cargo ships as much as he used to, but he is, for the most part, satisfied still with his hobbies. [h3][color=khaki]Short-Bio:[/color][/h3] [i][b]-WIP-[/b][/i] [center][color=khaki]∽ ╌ ∽ ╌ ∽ ╌ ∽ ╌ ∽ ╌ ∽ ╌ ∽[/color][/center] [h3][color=khaki]Spell List:[/color][/h3] [color=cornflowerblue]► Energy Staining[/color] Hanlock, over a prolonged period of focusing and physical contact, can "stain" physical objects with a special dormant energy, that he can manipulate in a variety of ways. The energy has no other effect as it remains dormant. [color=cornflowerblue]▼ Energy Implosion[/color] This Stain-manipulating technique takes the least amount of energy to apply. Activating the dormant energies within one of Hanlock's "stains" will cause the object it is applied onto to implode, or partially implode, depending on the strength of the stain and size of the object. [color=cornflowerblue]▼ Energy Displacement/Energy Anchor[/color] The "stain" latches on to the material, and teleports itself to Hanlock's side. The size of the object limits the duration required of this power, and it can reliably teleport things about the size of a freezer. Another use for this power is to moor an object to a single spot- despite whether it is possible via physics. This also takes more time based on the size of the object. These techniques will normally take longer than the one before them. [color=cornflowerblue]▼ Ethereal Enchantment[/color] This is Hanlock's most powerful form of magic, but also takes the longest time. Months, actually. By fusing his life essence and energy into an object over a period of several months, or years, he can give the object abilities only limited by his imagination. He has to meditate with the object touching his hands each day, thinking deeply on the effects he wishes to bestow upon it. He can only afford to miss a few days, with ample time in-between, and missing too many will make the effect much weaker than intended. Afterwards, the object will be permanently enchanted with Hanlocks desired effects. [h3][color=khaki]Weapons/Items:[/color][/h3] [color=khaki]•[/color] [color=darkmagenta][b]Curse-Catcher:[/b][/color] Hanlock's enchanted Cutlass, Curse-Catcher, can cut through magic. Not only that, but it can intercept and drag magical energies along its path, or coat itself in the energy. Besides this power, the only distinguishable factor between this broad blade and another of the same design, is its apparent indestructibility. [hider=Curse-Catcher][IMG]http://i68.tinypic.com/2n8aszr.jpg[/IMG][/hider] [color=khaki]•[/color] [color=teal][b]Spell Piercer:[/b][/color] This abnormally long, black-tinted flintlock is one of the pirate's few ranged tools. Spell Piercer serves well to protect the Buccaneer from magic and sometimes the environment. It is capable of magically absorbing nearby entities(for example fire, smoke, energy, etc.) and loading them into the barrel to be fired with the next shot. Depending on the absorbed material, the attack may vary widely in power and effect. Hanlock reloads this weapon quicker than one would expect him to, seeing the nature of the weapon; whether this is accredited to magic or skill, one can't tell. Notably, Spell Piercer is indestructible, however, just like a regular flintlock, it can misfire, jam, and is nearly useless against armor if the weapon is not empowered. However, it is much more accurate than a weapon of its design should be. [color=slategray]Multiple Sets of Magnetic Throwing Knives:[/color] Used in conjunction with a minute controller somewhere within Hanlock's possession, the pirate can use these knives to emit a strong magnetism in a direction he desires, either pulling the knives towards, or propelling them straight away from the target. [hider=Magnetic Knives][img]https://i.imgur.com/f0PfI1Q.jpg?2[/img][/hider] [color=slategray]Standard Issue Rapid-fire Coilgun [Handgun][/color] [color=slategray]Omnitool:[/color] A very standard Omnitool. Hanlock is not the most familiar with in-depth electronics, but an Omnitool is almost, if not, a necessity. It can make calls, take notes, record audio/video, as well as an entire roster of other functions Omnitools commonly have. Hanlock’s Omnitool is similar to a high-tec phone, in design, and he usually keeps it in an inner pocket of his long-coat.

[color=khaki]◌ Bladed Weapon Combat:[/color] Hanlock is well-versed in the art of fighting with a sword, knife, or any other type of blade. He is very likely to cut himself, or to perform an attack incorrectly. His skill is much higher than most people he would likely meet. [color=khaki]◌ Firearms Combat:[/color] In this day and age, not being able to engage your enemies at a distance is not a good idea. Hanlock can fire single-handed firearms with great accuracy, and can utilize long-arms efficiently as well. He also can reload them faster than the average space-dweller. [color=khaki]◌ Unarmed Combat:[/color] Sometimes you get caught off-guard. Being able to defend yourself without any weapons is a good insurance plan. [color=khaki]◌ Brawling:[/color] Hanlock's prowess extends to using multiple, or all, of these combat capabilities at the same time- and he is great at focusing on multiple targets at the same time. [color=khaki]◌ Guerrilla Combat:[/color] Hanlock's favorite way of approaching a fight, Guerrilla Tactics are something he is well-versed in. Ambushes, sneak attacks, army-kiting, etc. are some of the many skills that come with this war-fare style. [sub][color=khaki]Social[/color][/sub] [color=khaki]◌ Bartering:[/color] Sometimes, when you don't have that extra buck, it would do you well to know how to barter. [color=khaki]◌ Intimidation:[/color] Or, you could just throw the rest of their merchandise across the room and demand your prize. His mannerisms and odd behavior accredit to this. [color=khaki]◌ Flirting:[/color] This isn't really a skill because he isn't especially good at it, but he does it a lot. Turns out not a lot of chicks dig the pirate persona. [sub][color=firebrick]Incompetencies[/color][/sub] [color=firebrick]◌ Politics:[/color] Hanlock is not well-versed in politics. He doesn't keep up with the governing trends, nor does he wish to. This leaves him nearly entirely incompetent on the subject, and unlikely to learn about it. [color=firebrick]◌ Foreign Magic:[/color] Hanlock is completely inept on the subject of magic outside of his own. He knows basically nothing, and is very unlikely to be able to utilize any. He may learn about them, however. [color=firebrick]◌ Fear:[/color] Nobody has ever seen Hanlock show an ounce of fear. He shows hesitation, an analytical pause, but never fear. This isn't to say he is incapable. But he will [i]not[/i] show it. [color=darkslategray][b]The Experiment - Aftermath[/b][/color] After the experiments performed on him by the unidentified scientist[sub](s)[/sub], Hanlock has some [i]irregular[/i], to say the least, new aspects about him. As a results of said experiments the pirate - extremely painfully - developed a set of extra appendages, and several patches of crystalline materials over his body. His extra set of fully-crystalline arms is placed only a couple of inches below his normal set- and are only a few inches less in circumference than his fleshy arms. It should be noted that Hanlock almost always tries to conceal the presence of these crystal parts, and does a fine job in most cases, due to his clothing. The [color=lightseagreen]teal[/color], crystalline patches cover these spots, and have varying levels of prominence[color=darkslategray][b](1-5)[/b][/color]: Right Eye/Temple area [color=darkslategray][b](2)[/b][/color] Left Outer-Upper Arm [color=darkslategray][b](3)[/b][/color] Right Shin [color=darkslategray][b](4)[/b][/color] Upper-Back [color=darkslategray][b](2)[/b][/color] Besides these spots, Hanlock also has a rib-cage like structure of crystal inside of his chest and other cavities, truly making him one with the mineral.
