[@Blackstripe] Here's a work in progress CS for your consideration. EDIT: Also, if I may, might I suggest this as a possible theme for the roleplay itself? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l67HcrhyCFE [hider=Rayner Thorley King WIP][color=teal] [center][url=https://fontmeme.com/fonts/the-shift-font/][img]https://fontmeme.com/permalink/190604/bf0a2527debf03648ee312013043095b.png[/img][/url][/center] [hr][hr] [center][img]http://i1.wp.com/www.canalmasculino.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/casaco-peacoat-masculino-2.jpg?resize=570,855[/img][/center] [hr][hr] [b][u]Street Alias:[/u][/b] Reaver. [b][u]Sex:[/u][/b] Male. [b][u]Age:[/u][/b] 30. [b][u]Appearance:[/u][/b] Standing at just shy of five feet ten inches, and weighing in at around a hundred and ninety-six pounds, Rayner is a man in his early thirties, seemingly of middle eastern or mixed descent, with wavy jet black hair, a light dusting of facial hair, dark brown eyes, a somewhat stern face, and a lithe but muscular build thanks to his time in the construction business. As for clothing, Rayner usually wears a high collared, charcoal button-up coat with red cuffed sleeves that hangs down to his waist. Underneath that he wears a black t-shirt with a Metallica print. In addition to that, Rayner also wears a pair of worn blue jeans and a pair of white and black sneakers. He does tend to change his clothing for special occasions or formal gatherings however. Other than that, Rayner does his best to maintain his personal image. Always making sure his breath is fresh, his hair is in its proper place, and his clothes properly laundered. As for what he wears when out and about under the cover of darkness, it's usually an [url=https://i.pinimg.com/736x/72/08/f6/7208f6f3b71c049fa41cd69048a9e2fe.jpg]acrylic airsoft mask with a black and white design[/url], a [url=https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1_uNzgm7PL1JjSZFHq6AciXXaO/Winter-Long-Hooded-Trench-Coat-Men-2017-Winter-Casual-Men-s-Wool-Hoodie-Trench-Coats-Zipper.jpg]black waist long coat with a hood[/url], a pair of [url=https://gloimg.samcdn.com/S/pdm-product-pic/Clothing/2016/10/24/source-img/20161024174447_18341.jpg]dark pants[/url], a pair of [url=https://mrxproducts.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/3/8/3831-blk.jpg]black leather gloves[/url], and a pair of [url=http://i.frg.im/dmT3Z8p/191475160143-0_600.jpg]black Nike Air Max Goadome ACG Boots[/url]. Should any of these items become destroyed or damaged beyond repair however, then he will seek out replacements for them as needed. Protecting one's true identity is of the utmost importance. Especially for a power stealing serial killer. [b][u]Origin Planet:[/u][/b] Earth. [b][u]Origin City:[/u][/b] Honolulu. [b][u]Hometown:[/u][/b] Brooklyn, New York. [b][u]Icon:[/u][/b] N/A. [b][u]Personality:[/u][/b] WIP. [hr] [b][u]~Powers, Skills, Weapons, & Gadgets~[/u][/b] [b][u]-Skills[/u][/b] [b]Brawler:[/b] While not a professional in hand-to-hand combat by any means, Rayner is still more than capable of holding his own in a fight, despite how clumsy or uncoordinated it may look. [b]Stealthy:[/b] Even though he is not a ninja, and cannot remain completely hidden from sight, Rayner is still very good at blending in with the shadows as he usually prefers to ambush his selected targets when they are unaware of his presence, and thus, most vulnerable. [b]Cutter:[/b] Some say killing isn't an art, but Rayner has come to the realization that, in a way, it actually is. After all, in order to take someone down, especially someone larger and stronger than oneself, you must know precisely where and when to strike to maximize the amount of damage inflicted. And Rayner knows exactly where these places are on a human body and when to strike them. As long as he has a knife in hand, no artery, muscle, tendon, or organ is safe from harm. [b]Chameleon:[/b] Well, not in the strictest sense of the word. While he can't physically blend in with his environment, for the time being at least, Rayner has become rather adept at masking his darker, more egotistical side. This allows him to go from butchering someone one minute, to having a completely normal conversation over coffee the next. A very dangerous skill for someone to have, and one Rayner has practically mastered the art of. [b]Keen Observer:[/b] Due to his innate lack of both offensive and defensive powers, Rayner has had to look for weaknesses in the powers, psyches, and bodies of his chosen targets on a near constant basis. This has made him extremely adept at identifying and locating weaknesses in those around him. As a matter of fact he's gotten so good at it, it's pretty much become an action akin to breathing for him. [b][u]-Powers[/u][/b] [b]Post-Mortem Power Absorption:[/b] Rayner can steal the powers of others by killing them. Once they are dead, their powers will be absorbed into his body for him to use at his own discretion. [b]Auditory Aptitude:[/b] Thanks to this extremely rare and rather limited variation of Intuitive Aptitude, Rayner is able to detect, and even identify in some cases, the powers held by other metahumans via the musical rhythms they give off. Rhythms which only he can hear of course. But his power doesn't stop there, oh no. Not only can he hear the powers of others, he can also fully understand them upon absorption as their rhythms are implanted directly into his brain, allowing him to not only perfectly replicate them, but use them even better than their original owners thanks to his deeper comprehension of them. There is also the possibility of him learning how to use another persons power simply by spending time around them and listening to the rhythms it produces, but he still has to kill them in order to use it for himself.

[hr] [b][u]Civilian Occupation:[/u][/b] Construction Worker. [b][u]Biography:[/u][/b] WIP. [b][u]Nemesis:[/u][/b] None at the moment. [b][u]Allies:[/u][/b] None at the moment. [b][u]Team:[/u][/b] None at the moment. [b][u]Other:[/u][/b] Before making a kill, Rayner will often hum a little tune to himself. This has led those who know of his, or rather his Reaver identities, existence to believe that he is actually humming the tune being produced by the power he's trying to take. Regardless of whether or not it is true, it remains a very chilling thought to have lingering in the back of your mind. Especially if you happen to come face to face with the killer himself...
