He has constantly-tired eyes, despite his perpetual jovial expression, with a head of messy, bluish green hair. Most of his body is covered in a choice of a butcher's apron and a large, doctor's jacket, going to lengths to cover the rest of his body with a tall boots and long socks, as well as two varying gloves on his hands, his right one being a thin, needled one and the left one being a thick, greenish one. Yet underneath his outfit, Daren's body becomes much more unsettling; His entire body is a sickish gray, covered in all manner of welts, burn-marks, and stitches, almost mixing and matching pieces of various size together into a single body. Even his attire gets stranger the longer one examines it, carrying around tools in pouches more befitting a butcher, including a giant metal cleaver almost as long as he is tall. His "face" as most people see it is actually a plain white mask, that covers his face. Even stranger, his left glove isn't a glove at all, but his own prosthetic hand, with wires barely attaching it functionally.[/indent][/indent] [indent][color=12694B][h3][b]PERSONALITY TRAITS[/b][/h3] [i]"Dad said the apple didn't fall far from the tree."[/i][/color] [sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sup] [indent][color=12694B][b]Detached --[/b][/color] Daren's...

[color=12694B][b]Diligent --[/b][/color] At the same time, Daren maintains a professional work ethic and dedication. In nearly any other career, this would be commendable, but in his case of being a murderer and monster butcher, it comes off as dissonant and disturbing, treating dives into monster guts and dismembering people as just the daily grind with enthusiasm.

Well-- His family, had. Poor Daren was shafted with making the trophies; Every one of his family's triumphs meant a gruesome, thankless autopsy for him to pull off, never fully receiving the full huntsman training he was promised every time he asked. One night, when he was 22, his family was on a trip to South America, hunting down a jungle beast that had been terrorizing several towns for months. While the rest of his family was off hunting the creature, it attacked their RV where he had been hanging behind. The creature nearly tore the shelter to shreds, as Daren tried to desperately fend it off, already accepting his demise. The beast managed to tear at his throat with it's claws, and had what was left of it in grip of it's teeth... Suddenly, the beast was killed by a flurry of knives striking it along several points in it's back, thrown by a strange woman he hadn't recognized; She wasn't part of the hunting party, but was someone else altogether. Just as she saved his life, she made it abundantly clear that Daren had two options: 1) Die 2) Work for her Just before he lost consciousness, he managed a nod; Good enough for her, he presumed, since when he woke up he was in a hospital of sorts, having his otherwise-mortal wounds healed, his throat covered by a sort of artificial-skin layer. The woman revealed her name, Ivory, and that her group -- Horizon Frontiers -- had been hunting the beast, and several others, for a different reason than his family's own glory-hounding; However, they recognized they had existing skills with monster dissection, the very same reason she had saved his life. And thus, Daren became an operative for Horizon Frontiers, not only being given a more dignified output for his skills in butchery, but also being given the chance to live as the monster-hunter he always wanted to be. Horizon's primary reason for hunting down monsters and mythics was to harness the abilities of their physiology; Through research, they've deducted means of biologically grafting various organs and segments of living beings onto others, granting them some degree of their specific abilities; In the case of the jungle-beast that nearly killed him, it's own heart gave Daren inhuman endurance that allowed him to survive an otherwise crippling bloodloss. Since then, he's been the first eager guinea pig for several other grafting procedures, giving him a questionable degree of humanity -- Both physically, as he's taken on the aspects of several different creatures to both increase his power and repair his damaged body, as well as in spirit, given that he's become progressively untroubled by the idea of extending his butchery to that of other Nomads...[/indent][/indent] [color=12694B][h1][b]FIGHTING STYLE & ABILIES[/b][/h1] [i]"You'd be surprised the muscle you pack carrying this thing around all day."[/i][/color] [sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sup] [indent][color=12694B][h3][b]SKILLS & ABILITIES[/b][/h3] [i]"Jeez, not even [i]I'll[/i] be able to fix that."[/i][/color] [sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sup] Daren combines his own experience with anatomy with his fighting style, relying on absolutely brutalizing an opponent with sheer force. Not only is his massive Cleaver capable of tearing even a seasoned warrior to ribbons, but his prosthetic hand gives him a decent reach and is also capable of infecting the target with a weakening formula. Daren's also inhumanly durable, possessing the heart of a savage beast as well as several other improvements to his body, including a near-total lack of pain and ability to subsist with intense damage, on top of his bulky outfit and durable mask, which has saved him from one too many shots to the face.[/indent] [indent][color=12694B][h3][b]SIGNATURE MOVES[/b][/h3] [i]"Look, either way I'm just gonna hit something with my sword."[/i][/color] [sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sup] [indent][color=12694B][u]■ Cleave[/u][/color] [indent]Daren swings his massive cleaver in a wide angle, striking a large range and making for a powerful, difficult to avoid attack for any close-ranged opponents. [/indent][/indent] [indent][color=12694B][u]■ Blunt-End[/u][/color] [indent]Daren swings the blunt end of his sword at an opponent, hitting them with enough force to send them flying away and through the air. [/indent][/indent] [indent][color=12694B][u]■ Rupture[/u][/color] [indent]Daren strikes his surroundings with enough force to smash through stone, wood, and even metal. The resulting explosion will create a shower of debris that deals light damage, as well as creating a minor camouflage for Daren to move through.[/indent][/indent] [indent][color=12694B][u]■ Hook-Hand[/u][/color] [indent]Daren fires his hand as a grappling hook, used for a variety of purposes. The most basic in a fight are to either pull an opponent towards him, or grasp them and swing them around, though he's also used it to move through the environment and reach high vantage points. However, the cord is rather flimsy and prone to breaking if overused. [/indent][/indent] [indent][color=12694B][u]■ Spare Parts[/u][/color] [indent]Daren's body is incredibly resistant to pain and damage; His sense of pain is incredibly dulled, with even the most agonizing sensations only being able to at most cause intense soreness. His body is also patchwork in nature, being incredibly resistant against trauma and rupturing. He's able to survive the loss of limbs, large amounts of blood, whole chunks of his body mass, and even persist for several minutes without vital organs. In addition, his body is able to "readopt" itself. If his arm were to be severed, for instance, he can simply pick it back up, wrap it back on with bandaid, tape, or whatever else is available, and have it function perfectly well. In addition, he can even steal the parts of other people's body if his own is destroyed. Though it won't function as well as his own, it'll gradually adapt and transform, until it is accepted into his body fully.

However, the attack requires a lot of strength to use so quickly, and will leave him briefly exposed for a few moments after.

This attack deals massive amounts of damage, crushing through solid stone and slamming his target into the ground. Anything without durability or protection will be reduced to chunky salsa, literally exploding from the impact of the attack.[/indent][/indent] [indent][color=12694B][u]■ Killing Intent[/u][/color] [indent]Daren sublimates his bloodlust and primal instinct, giving him an overwhelming boost to strength and toughness. He simply ceases to feel pain or react to any incoming attacks, and his own use of his muscles completely ignore his natural limitation. An average strike is able to completely obliterate stone, and some ordinary opponents have been knocked flat on their ass just from the force of his blade being swung at them. In addition, his Ki radiates a violent and overwhelming dread, even to the point of triggering an automatic flight response from weaker opponents. Once the state wears off, however, Daren will feel the impact of overextending himself, soreness setting in to possibly even incapacitate him.

His Cleaver's also pretty bulky and slow, leaving him possibly exposed if he fails to land an attack he's invested in.

He still carries some strength, however, still giving him a definite muscled frame. Ulric wears a white doctor's jacket, along with several pieces of black supportive armor.

By the age of 30, he made countless breakthroughs and earned several awards, devising several means of enhancing one's strength. As Ulric reached past the tip of preestablished knowledge, his passion refused to cool, prompting him to push even further into untreaded ground. Every success prompted him to only try harder, until he began to explore more obscure chemicals and unorthodox means for improving human strength that were considered unsettling. He began to develop work on his magnum opus chemical; One that when used on an ordinary human, could excite their Ki and accelerate their growth to meet a standard that normally took years of training to reach. With the progression of time, Ulric became increasingly determined in seeing his creation reach fruition. His methods became increasingly dangerous and volatile, causing his support and funding to gradually decline. Regardless, he pushed onward with his creation, until he was practically limited to a small basement lab with no hands but his own. Stripped of resources and equipment to safely test his serum, he elected to use it on himself. Upon injection, he felt a massive surge of energy and strength rush through his body. However, it was soon followed by a pang of agony, which caused him to quickly black out. When he woke up, he was in a facility run by Horizon Frontiers, greeted by a strange woman named Ivory, the true conductor of Horizon Frontiers. It was revealed to Ulric that, while his serum was indeed effective, it was extremely caustic against Ulric's otherwise average body, severely damaging his health and cutting down his lifespan by several decades. However, while the downside of such a serum was fatal to anyone not as lucky as Ulric, she saw the merit in such an invention, as well as Ulric's ambition. He was given a position as one of Horizon Frontiers' lead scientists, obtaining the means necessary to not only mass produce his first serum, but continue research to an even more potent formula.

She has messy black hair she never cares to arrange, and tired blue eyes clearly lacking any proper rest schedule. She almost pathologically wears the same token equipment, the Huginn-Module, which is a dark-blue colored jacket with a cyan-colored stripe running up it. It comes with a long-beaked bird mask with glowing-blue eyes, which when not active Arianna usually pushes up atop her head. Underneath, she usually wears a white t-shirt and shorts, with a belt of various technological gizmos wrapped around her waist, with a pair of shoes that match the jacket's pattern. The sleeves of the jacket are able to extend to extremely large, also ejecting a pair of sharp talons.[/indent][/indent] [indent][color=27543A][h3][b]PERSONALITY TRAITS[/b][/h3] [i]"I'm a Pisces.

She much prefers her own company or that of her drones than that of strangers, or even her close allies.[/indent] [indent][b][color=27543A]Quick-Thinking -[/color][/b] At the same time, Arianna has shown herself to have a knack for thinking quickly, creating solutions on the fly and solving problems with multiple moving parts. Part of her survivability thus far is thanks to her observational skill, being able to quickly identify an opponent's weakness and take the initiative to exploit it.[/indent] [indent][b][color=27543A]Hard-Working -[/color][/b] Similarly to her other Horizon colleagues, Arianna has a bit of an issue with obsession with her technology. Much of her free time is spent upgrading and maintaining the Huginn-Module or her fleet of drones; She's even worked herself into a frenzy before and fell asleep right at the workbench (On one occasion nearly causing a devastating accident).[/indent][/indent] [indent][color=27543A][h3][b]BACKSTORY[/b][/h3] [i]"I uh...

However, his accomplishment in innovation turned to horror when he discovered that several of his inventions, originally intended for wildlife observation and forensics, were eventually repurposed by various military and mercenary groups as tools of espionage and war once they left his hands. Seeing how his own ambitions had been warped so far beyond his intent disgusted him from the idea of contributing any more potential devices of war, and so he retreated from the world into isolation with his family. At first, he had his concerns of his daughter, Arianna, reacting poorly to the change of moving into near-total isolation from the rest of the world, but he had found she had a curiosity in the various animals in the wilderness around their home. Seeking to encourage such an interest, he decided to build one last project for her-- The Huginn-Module. Completing the device, she was then able to observe the world up close and personal while remaining distant from it. One day though, she found several other armed men patrolling the forest, as if they were searching for her. Using the Huginn-Module to evade them, she immediately returned home-- Only to find a smoking pile of wood instead, her home burnt to the ground. Fiddling through it’s remains, she found no trace of her father or who destroyed her home, But knew that it was because of the Huginn-Module that they came, and thanks to it that she escaped. For several days after, she wandered through the wilderness. Then, she encountered (or rather, was encountered by) a strange woman whose features she could not identify. Despite the Huginn-Module being active and concealing her, she saw straight through it and to Arianna, offering her a place with a group known as Horizon Frontiers. Though initially wary because of her own father’s distrust with lending his technology elsewhere, the woman assured her that, if Arianna had accepted, she would do more than enough good for humanity to repair her father’s own previous burdens. And so she accepted, becoming Horizon Frontiers’ top recon operative. Though she’s become increasingly aware and jaded to Horizon Frontiers’ true operations, every revelation only convinces her to double down in her efforts, in the hope that her father’s ultimate contribution to the world will be a positive one.

She's not Horizon Frontiers' ideal fighter, instead being their espionage expert. But, if push comes to shove, she's been trained and augmented the Huginn-Module to be able to hold her own, at the very least until she can escape, analyzing and predicting an opponent's moves while moving quickly and landing weak yet precise blows at them.[/indent][/indent] [indent][color=27543A][h3][b]SIGNATURE MOVES[/b][/h3] [i]"Beginning Observation!"[/i][/color] [sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sup] [indent][color=27543A][u]■ Eyes of Heaven[/u][/color] [indent]The Huginn-Model's core feature is it's brilliant observational technology. Within it's two eyes are dozens of different visual-sensors, including thermal and night vision, as well as other scanners that virtually nullify any sort of illusion or invisibility. In addition, it comes with a processor that scans an opponent's moves and fighting technique, giving a greater ability to predict the opponent's moves the more they attack.[/indent][/indent] [indent][color=27543A][u]■ Stealth-Mode[/u][/color] [indent]The Huginn-Module is comprised of camouflage nanofibers, allowing it's wearer to become invisible by reflecting their surroundings. Becomes less effective both the closer she is to an opponent and the more she moves around. Can only last for up to ten minutes at a time, as well before shorting out, as well.[/indent][/indent] [indent][color=27543A][u]■ Radar Pulse[/u][/color] [indent]Arianna activates a radar pulse, which sends out a circular wave of energy that feeds information of the patterns they trace, providing her with a rough display of her nearby surroundings. By reading them, she's able to determine the presence and location of any enemies.[/indent][/indent] [indent][color=27543A][u]■ Featherflux[/u][/color] [indent]Arianna hurls a fan of a dozen or so feather-shaped daggers at an opponent, scoring less hits the further away an opponent is. [/indent][/indent] [indent][color=27543A][u]■ Glide[/u][/color] [indent]The Huginn-Module is capable of gliding over a long distance, though not true flexible flight, though it can still buy decent distance away from an opponent. Arianna can still gain some decent air by just jumping or flapping the sleeves really quick.[/indent][/indent] [indent][color=27543A][u]■ Conspiracy of Drones[/u][/color] [indent]Stored within the Huginn-Module are several birdlike automatic drones, which each possess the Eyes of Heaven technology and are capable of tracking down and spying on foes. They also come with built in self-destruct mechanisms, serving as a makeshift bomb in case either they're trapped, or they need to defend Arianna.[/indent][/indent][/indent] [indent][color=27543A][h3][b]SUPER MOVES[/b][/h3] [i]"*whistle* get 'em!"[/i][/color] [sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sup] [indent][color=27543A][u]■ Unkindness[/u][/color] [indent]Arianna unleashes a flurry of any remaining Drones she has at an opponent. They will swarm and assault the opponent from all directions, flying around and stabbing them with their beaks. If they're destroyed, or any time Arianna decides, they will explode simultaneously, blasting the opponent from all directions.[/indent][/indent] [indent][color=27543A][u]■ Telltale Heart[/u][/color] [indent]Arianna X-rays an opponent, scanning their biology and muscle-patterns down to every last twitch, analyzing for the best point of attack. Once she's found it, she will lunge at an opponent, striking them for critical damage.[/indent][/indent][/indent] [indent][color=27543A][h3][b]WEAKNESSES & LIMITS[/b][/h3][/color] [i]"Well what did you expect?!"[/i] [sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sup] [indent]Arianna isn't even suited for combat; She lacks any real physical strength or endurance, instead keeping safe distance between her and the opponent. She's also highly dependent on the Huginn-Module, just to barely-match most other fighters, becoming functionally defenseless if either she's caught without it or it becomes damaged[/indent][/indent] [h1][b]OTHER[/b][/h1] [i]"No. Nothing else."[/i] [sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sup] [indent][indent]Anything else we need to know?[/indent][/indent][/hider]
