He has combed brown hair, dark blue eyes, and skin with just a tinge of coloration. His hands are just a bit larger than average. No matter where he goes, he bundles up expecting the cold weather of his home, usually wearing a sweater underneath a winter jacket, with a scarf around his neck. He typically wears simple jeans and boots, with brown gloves slipping over his hands. [/indent] [color=2B7ACD][u][b]PERSONALITY TRAITS [/b][/u][/color] [indent]-Easy Going -Lazy -Simple Thought Process -Below Average Intelligence -Loves Food -Generally likes animals, even if he horribly misidentifies them -Absurd hatred for walruses[/indent] [color=2B7ACD][u][b]BACKSTORY & MOTIVATION [/b][/u][/color] [indent]Calvin is a pure-blooded Canadian, born to an oil miner in the Tundra. Without many other people to socialize with while his father worked, nor an official school to attend, Calvin spent most of his days with his grandfather, a practiced Nomad who explored the coldest regions of the world, but whose son had little interest in learning his ways. Calvin spent his days learning the Walrus-Wrestling style, a fighting style that both specialized in fighting opponents much larger and more vicious than oneself, yet also capitalized itself on manipulation of cold and weathered Ki. Eventually, Calvin's father decided that Calvin's grandpa was a bad influence on him, and sent him to the city to live with his mother, an office worker in Toronto. Yet the teachings were already set in him, and Calvin continued practicing the Walrus-Wrestling Style. Yet by the time he was 18 and returned to the Tundra for more teaching, he found his grandfather had passed away, without teaching Calvin the rest of the style. Seeking to fulfill his family's legacy (and really having nothing better to do), Calvin set out into the world to become a Nomad himself, traveling the world to master his own power and maybe see some cool places while he's at it. [/indent] [/indent] [color=2B7ACD][h3][b]FIGHTING STYLE & ABILITIES[/b][/h3][hr][/color] [color=2B7ACD][indent][u][b]Walrus-Wrestling Style [/b][/u][/indent][/color] [indent]As Calvin's grandfather explored the most barren and hazardous locations in the world, he began to hone his own Ki, adapting to the unforgiving cold and fighting against the most savage creatures. The style places emphasis on being able to overcome much larger and more powerful foes, through a mixture of grapples and powerful palm strikes. Yet it also lets practitioners harness their Ki as it becomes adopted by the freezing locales of the world, manifesting it outward as ice with a variety of uses. [/indent] [color=2B7ACD][u][b]SPECIAL MOVES & TECHNIQUES [/b][/u][/color] [indent][u]■ Frost Grip[/u] [indent]Calvin grapples his opponent, channeling his Ki into the opponent's body. Being unprepared for extreme temperatures, the opponent will quickly freeze and become covered with ice. However doing so is risky, as it requires him to wrestle them down and spend several seconds channeling his own, icy Ki into their body.[/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Sleet Spray[/u] [indent]Calvin extends his Ki outward, covering the floor and surfaces with sleet ice, which both allows Calvin to slide along it as well as cause opponents to slip and stumble. Skateboards are for chumps, anyway.[/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Glacier Barrier[/u] [indent]Calvin creates a wall of ice. Given time to construct it he could make it firm and durable, but he can also quickly erect it, creating a brief barrier that can withstand a single attack or two.[/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Ice Snare[/u] [indent]Calvin sprays a small puddle of water, Which he can have quickly grow once an opponent steps on it, creating a small beartrap to freeze them in place.[/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Ice Hammer[/u] [indent]Calvin covers his entire fist in a big block of ice, turning it into a large club, though it usually shatters in a hit or two.[/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Cold Breath[/u] [indent]Calvin spits, yet freezes it with his Ki, creating a chilly mist that can obscure the target's vision.[/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Snowball[/u] [indent]Calvin gathers a handful of snow and ice, which he packs together before hurling it at the opponent. Unlike a normal snowball, these projectiles are hard as rocks and could easily chip a tooth.[/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Walrus Slap[/u] [indent]A powerful hand slap, capable of knocking a walrus unconscious, as well as giving a minor concussion to any capable Nomad.[/indent][/indent] [color=2B7ACD][u][b]SUPER MOVES [/b][/u][/color] [indent] [u]■ Avalanche[/u] [indent]Calvin sends his Ki outward, allowing him to freeze a massive ball of snow around him, to which he can then roll towards his opponent as an unstoppable ball of death. The longer he takes to prepare, the more mass and speed the boulder will grow.[/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Snap Freeze[/u] [indent]Calvin gathers then throws a handful of Ki into the air, then causes it to rapidly freeze the opponent in thick, entrapping ice. This leaves the opponent nearly defenseless for several seconds, until they can either break free or Calvin beats them free. [/indent][/indent] [indent] [u]■ [i][b]WALRUS PUNCH![/b][/i][/u] [indent]His most powerful technique. Calvin channels all of his Ki into his fist, which he then slams into the opponent. It's namesake comes from his grandfather supposedly being able to launch a Walrus straight into the air by uppercutting them with it, though Calvin has yet to master that level of strength, with only a lifetime ban from hunting in Canada to show for it. As described, the move takes a large amount of power and energy to use, and can easily be avoided by lithe or unbound opponents.[/indent][/indent] [color=2B7ACD][u][b]WEAKNESSES & LIMITS [/b][/u][/color] [indent]Frankly, Calvin is lazy and uninterested in competition. He's unlikely to give it his all even in the face of defeat, unless he fights for the absolute sake of defending his life. As a vast majority of his techniques are dependent on ice, Any opponent with fire abilities will be practically immune to most of his attacks, putting him at a huge disadvantage. [/indent] [color=2B7ACD][h3][b]OTHER[/b][/h3][hr][/color] [indent][indent]-He's resistant to adverse temperatures and weather, as a result of wearing his coat almost wherever he goes and practicing his Ki to adapt to become cold and icy. -His favorite foods are Spaghetti and Pancakes. -He's banned from coming anywhere within a mile of a Walrus within the country of Canada.[/indent][/indent] [/hider] [hider=Rod Lightning] [center][img]http://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/dHRmLjExNi40MDJmNzQuVW05a0lFeHBaMmgwYm1sdVp3LCwuMAAA/bad-skizoff.regular.png[/img] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/736x/15/63/3d/15633d9814b004b274efeed3d3d4106e--character-reference-character-concept.jpg[/img][hr][hr] [color=SlateBlue][h2]⦋ [b]28[/b] || [b]American[/b] || [b]Male[/b] ⦌[/h2][/color] [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-8QJXqjRng[/youtube][/center] [color=SlateBlue][h3][b]APPEARANCE & PERSONALITY[/b][/h3][hr][/color] [indent] [color=SlateBlue][u][b]APPEARANCE [/b][/u][/color] [indent]Rod has black hair that he always slicks down. He stands at 5"0'. His brown eyes are covered by a pair of sunglasses, that he almost never leaves home without. He typically wears a white suit with gold accessories and a pair of purple pointed shoes, as well as black fingerless gloves that act to make his Ki expressions more precise, by narrowing the point it can leave his hands to just his fingertips. As if his outfit weren't flashy enough, he also wears a fur coat and carries a metal cane, that also acts as a brilliant conductor for his Ki. [/indent] [color=SlateBlue][u][b]PERSONALITY TRAITS [/b][/u][/color] [indent]■ Entitled ■ Cocky ■ Sharp-witted ■ Narcissist ■ Arrogant[/indent] [color=SlateBlue][u][b]BACKSTORY & MOTIVATION [/b][/u][/color] [indent]Rodney Lyte was born as a kid in the mean streets of Chicago. His mom died shortly after his birth, leaving his Dad to work long days as a programmer. With no parents to watch over him, young Rodney had nobody to protect him. Ever since he was 14, he’s been forced to fight in the streets to survive as a member of a gang. By the age of 16, his gang fought in a rivals, in which all of his gang members were killed. He, too, would’ve been, if it weren’t for a Nomad to happen by and save his life. Introducing himself as Yi-Wun, he then began to regularly train Rodney in order to protect himself. Four years later, Rod became one of the biggest Nomads on the streets. Yet the power Rod soon came to master went straight to his head. He was approached with the offers to become a celebrity amongst Nomad culture, fighting every other Nomad in the state and soon the country. But along the way, his old master, Yi-Wun, approached the youth, telling him that he used the power he was taught for his own personal gain. After denying his ex-master’s wisdom, he defeated him in single combat, cementing his devolution from hard-time street kid to an egotistical jackass. Soon, Rod stretched his competition to the entire globe, fighting Nomads across the world and making his name even bigger, raking in more money, power, and fame than he ever thought was possible. [/indent] [/indent] [color=SlateBlue][h3][b]FIGHTING STYLE & ABILITIES[/b][/h3][hr][/color] [indent][u][b][color=SlateBlue]FIGHTING STYLE - Raptor Assault [/color][/b][/u] [indent]Rod is fast, deadly, and creative on the battlefield. His lightning allows him for several solutions to a problem, and grants him both a high mobility and a method of attacking the opponent at a range. He is the best mix of both a Rushdown and Zone fighter.[/indent][/indent] [color=SlateBlue][u][b]SPECIAL MOVES & TECHNIQUES [/b][/u][/color] [indent] [color=SlateBlue][u]■ Lightning Skate[/u][/color] [indent]Rod charges up the lightning on the bottom of his shoes. Once he finishes, he skates along the ground towards the opponent. It deals very little damage, but can be very useful for moving towards the opponent in a timely fashion.[/indent][/indent] [indent][color=SlateBlue][u]■ Blink[/u][/color] [indent]By overcharging his body's ki, Rod increases his speed by an overwhelming amount for a little more than an instant. This allows him to move as if he were teleporting a few feet.[/indent][/indent] [indent][color=SlateBlue][b][u]■ Electric Club[/u][/b][/color] [indent]Rod overcharges his cane with lightning, making an overhead attack with it. It if makes contact with the opponent, it will briefly electrocute them for a few moments, or until they receive their first hit.[/indent][/indent] [indent][color=SlateBlue][u]■ Finger Gun![/u][/color] [indent]Rod charges all of the Ki into his fingertips, then expels it through a bolt-shaped projectile. Can be used up to three times.[/indent][/indent] [indent][color=SlateBlue][u]■ Thunder Wave[/u][/color] [indent]Rod charges his cane with lightning, then taps it along the ground, sending a small wave of lightning to roll along the ground towards the opponent.[/indent][/indent] [indent][color=SlateBlue][u]■ Lightning Kick[/u][/color] [indent]Rod charges his leg with Lightning, then thrusts it towards the opponent. If it hits them, it will stun them momentarily.[/indent][/indent] [indent][color=SlateBlue][u]■ Electroball[/u][/color] [indent]Rod cups his hand full of Ki, creating a sphere of lightning. He can then hurl it a medium distance away, where it will then hover in mid air. If Rod wills it, he can cause it to burst, erupting into a violent discharge.[/indent][/indent] [indent][color=SlateBlue][u]■ Magnetise[/u][/color] [indent]Rod shoots his opponent with harmless lightning while charging his own body's ki. This pulls both characters closer together.[/indent][/indent] [color=SlateBlue][u][b]SUPER MOVES [/b][/u][/color] [indent][color=SlateBlue][u]■ HeartBreaker[/u][/color] [indent]Rod charges his entire hand with ki, and then lunges forward a short distance. If he catches the opponent, he overloads their body with his own ki, dealing large damage and momentarily paralyzing them. However the feedback of the attack is so intense, it momentarily exhausts Rod.[/indent][/indent] [indent][color=SlateBlue][u]■ Thunder Lance[/u][/color] [indent]Rod completely infuses his staff with his ki, then hurls it at the opponent like a spear. it's a fast traveling attack that deals heavy damage, though it has a relatively small size.[/indent][/indent] [indent][color=SlateBlue][u]■ Dirty Cheater[/u][/color] [indent]Rod whips out a phone, calling one of his roadies to drive a car straight into the ring, running over the opponent. A few seconds later, just as they try to get back up, they reverse, crushing them underneath again. Just when they think it’s over, Rod throws the phone over his shoulder, hitting them in the head.[/indent] [color=SlateBlue][u][b]WEAKNESSES & LIMITS [/b][/u][/color] [indent]Rod has little defensive maneuvers, leaving him exposed in actual close combat. He also has a strong tendency to overestimate himself or make fatal mistakes due to his own arrogance and stupidity.

She's on the tall and lean side, standing at almost 6"1' and weighing 165 lbs. She doesn't have too much muscle mass on her arms, her body appearing more lithe and swift than physically powerful. She's small-framed, compared to other Nomads, even the lighter-set ones. This is largely thanks to her squandering physical power training in favor of practicing dexterity and wits. Her usual clothing consists of a short-dress with rolled up sleeves, and thigh-highs. She wraps her hair into two strands in front, and a ponytail in the back. She also covers her hands with short black gloves. She also carries a multitude of lesser gadgets and devices on her person, courtesy of Horizon Frontiers. These include a contact lens that can record and transmit video, a grappling hook hidden in her right glove, and a utility belt hidden underneath her dress around her waist. [/indent] [color=AB8865][u][b]PERSONALITY TRAITS [/b][/u][/color] [indent]■ Observant ■ Focused ■ Disciplined ■ Determined ■ Pragmatic ■ Inferiority-Complex [/indent] [color=AB8865][u][b]BACKSTORY & MOTIVATION [/b][/u][/color] [indent]Horizon Frontiers is a scientific foundation focused on biology and cybernetics, one of the largest in the world. On the surface they're a philanthropic organization, distributing free healthcare and cybernetics to disadvantaged people across the world, with facilities in practically every major country across the world. Yet beneath the surface, they carry a much more sinister agenda. Their purpose for studying human condition and genetics, as well as producing cybernetics, is for the purpose of creating the ultimate lifeform, a project they've been aspiring for in the shadows ever since they were founded. The Nomad Society is the obvious focal point of Horizon's research, being paragons amongst humanity capable of tapping into their raw life energy. Yet only so much data can be gathered from an outside perspective, kidnapping and experimenting on them without being able to witness their true capacity. In order to gather [i]true[/i] data on Nomads, Horizon needed some of their own. And so Ivory, originally just the daughter of a high-ranking member of Horizon Frontiers, was thrown into the limelight. Testing showed she had a high potential for Ki, making her an ideal subject. Since the age of 12 the young girl has been raised to become a Nomad, going through relentless training at a young age. Yet while her potential for Ki was great, her physical strength was not. She overcame obstacles given to her with wit and fast-thinking, making her much more of a Pragmatic Fighter than a rank-and-file Nomad. Yet rather than discourage this behavior, Horizon Frontiers encouraged it, equipping her with deadly gadgets for her to use. By the time she was Ready, Ivory became a bogeyman in Nomad society. Low-ranking, aspiring Nomads would go missing overnight, the only rumor of her existence being a gray-haired woman who escaped every time.[/indent] [/indent] [color=AB8865][h3][b]FIGHTING STYLE & ABILITIES[/b][/h3][/color][hr] [color=AB8865][indent][u][b]FIGHTING STYLE -- CRESCENT IMP [/b][/u][/indent][/color] [indent]While Ivory was gifted with an innate potential for Ki, she forgoes her expression of it in blatant, over-the-top feats of strength, instead concentrating on her own wit and alacrity. This makes her exceptionally lithe in battle, and gives her a degree of reflex and control while she turns duels into battles of attrition while she observes her opponent’s combat style and works to both wear them down and adapt to their patterns. In most battles, Ivory does not fight to win. Even if she were to win, she’d likely inflict harm on herself in the process. Lacking the same overwhelming willpower to succeed that most other Nomads do, she instead concentrates her energy on instead observing the opponent and gathering data, which is recorded on a specially made contact lens. To compensate her own lack of power, she carries around a handful of gadgets with her, that provide her a degree of ranged control while allowing her to stall and keep her opponents at bay.[/indent] [color=AB8865][u][b]SPECIAL MOVES & TECHNIQUES [/b][/u][/color] [indent][u]■ Smoke Pellets[/u] [indent]Ivory carries with her a string of smoke pellets, which she can use to create confusion and concealment from her opponent.[/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Fan Blade[/u] [indent]Ivory usually fights with a fan, which may look harmless but is actually made out of a super-light, razor-sharp material, making it a deadly weapon. She can also throw it like a sharpened boomerang, and is also magnetized to return to her hand. Just in case, she always carries a spare.[/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Anticipation[/u] [indent]Using her acute reflexes and analysis, Ivory predicts her opponent’s next attack, giving her an advantage at avoiding it. The more she’s seen.a move be used, the more effectively she can evade it.[/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Hot Iron Strike[/u] [indent]Similar to Anticipation, yet rather than disengage or avoid the enemy, she counters their attack, dodging it and then immediately following up with a precise strike while they expose themselves. However this is much harder to pull off than simply evading it.[/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Echo Flashbang[/u] [indent]A powerful flashbang device, capable of disorienting an elephant. Those exposed to it find themselves in similar waters, being temporarily stunned. Yet given how powerful it is, Ivory must take care using it, to avoid accidentally hurting herself too.[/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Grappling Hook[/u] [indent]A long wire Ivory can shoot from a device in her wrist, letting her cross a long distance quickly. Useful for escaping combat or reaching a vantage point.[/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Grenade[/u] [indent]Ivory pops a specialized grenade and chucks it at the opponent, dealing large amounts of damage to them from a distance.[/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Tranquilizer Dart[/u] [indent]Ivory shoots a sleep dart at the opponent. While its unlikely to actually knock an opponent out cold, it still mugs them down and reduces their energy.[/indent][/indent] [color=AB8865][u][b]SUPER MOVES [/b][/u][/color] [indent] [u]■ Disengage[/u] [indent]Using her analytical skills and alacrity, Ivory immediately attempts to disengage the conflict, creating an escape plan on the spot and following through on it. [/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Spider Pitfall[/u] [indent]Ivory sets down a trap, which takes several moments to arm. Once activated, it will immediately lunge at anyone who enters 10 feet of it, unfolding and disassembling to wrap them in an electrified net. The net is extremely hard for a normal person to break out of, but can only incapacitate a Nomad for several seconds. While not particularly destructive, it’s more than capable of ending a fight.[/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Explosive Pellets[/u] [indent]Ivory carries a full bag of explosive pellets, which will explode on contact when thrown at an opponent. While just one is a minor annoyance, hurling a dozen at once can be chaotic and disorienting. [/indent][/indent] [color=AB8865][u][b]WEAKNESSES & LIMITS [/b][/u][/color] [indent]The most glaring weakness of Ivory is her own inability to fight head-on. She prefers to distance herself and draw battles out, until she can understand her opponent enough to almost methodically defeat them. Even if she can’t win the battle this way, retreat is always an option. For these reasons, Ivory just can’t seem to compete against opponents when barriers of distance are removed, or any exits are not an option. Yet despite her fight, learn, win tactic. Ivory has a deep-rooted inferiority complex. She only has so much dignity and patience for repeated losses before she becomes irritated and deterministic. Regardless of being a person who chooses wits and focus to win a fight, she will become more reckless and deterministic against foes should she be forced into retreating or defeat one too many times.
