[hider=Lyle the Dragon Awakened] [center] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/originals/59/07/08/59070850b174742f6c222284580cd08a.png[/img] (Character Image) [h1][b][u]Formal Name- Lyle Vincent Rockwood[/u][/b][/h1] [b][u][i]Informal or Preferred Name- Lyle, or Little Dragon Age- 17 Birth Place- Padokea City (Heaven's Arena location) Birth Date- Dec/???? Gender Or Preferred Pronoun- He Height & Weight- 5'9 ft 170lbs Notable Physical Attributes- High Adaptability - Lyle is capable of learning, and observing techniques quickly, and efficiently. A born trait of his he as always a natural learner and was quick to pick up on things around him, and internally. Notability this makes his ability to use Gyo all the much more effective. Considerable Constitution - While no means a superhuman his training with his god-father allowed him a certain level of hardiness that is notable when compared to others. Reflexes - While his speed is merely average thanks to his adaptable nature Lyle is more than capable of reacting quicker to things that others may not expect him to be. For a mere teenager his training has allowed him to avoid blows, and attacks better than others who have not gone through the effort of learning how to better control their body's movements. [hider=Nen] Discovery of Nen- Learned from this combat oriented God-father who took him under his wing in order to make sure he could confidently send him out into the world on his own. General Ability- Overall having trained with a man who actively uses his nen in combat Lyle was able to achieve a modest level in all variables of nen combat. Though he suffers when it comes to things such as shielding his mind, and using his Zetsu to its fullest due to his rather peaceful nature. Overall he excels at using his Hatsu. Once he is able to properly comprehend what he wants to do with it he is able to use his hatsu to unleash a bizarrely strong amount of it. Though he is no nen master his innate talent leans him to being a frightening young boy (in a combat situation) with much talent to build upon. It is his own peaceful and trusting nature that limits him from being a true monster of a combatant at the moment though future training may resolve this. It is not that he is incapable of showing his true emotions more so that he finds that act letting his emotion run wild plainly childish which translate into him being uncomfortable letting himself commit fully. Their overall skill and strong suits in Nen, as well as their known abilities(Ten, Ren, Gyo, Ken, ect). Hatsu- His personal hatsu ability is what he called [i]The Waking Dragon[/i] and is the form he has been honing in order to mimic his master/God-father'S own personal technique. [i]Waking Dragon[/i] is the name of this Hatsu. This technique was honed by years of living with firing breathing reptiles, learning to respect the great dragons of legend, travelling to remote areas like Volcanoes, and studying how fire works. The ability of this Hatsu allows him to mimic the abilities of these creatures transforming his hatsu into an ability to spew fire from his mouth, and or plumes of smoke. His skin hardens up to resist cutting attacks such as knives, and daggers though a sufficiently sharp weapon or power may piece his skin (As it stands anything that can break steel can pierce, or cut through his skin but those that can't maybe slide off harmlessly or break). In this way it effectively copies the scales of the creatures he has based his techniques on. This also passes onto his hands and feet in which he can make his fingernails, and toenails sharp enough to cut another person though they aren't as sharp as metal themselves. Though some substances like oil can greatly enhanced his ability to spew fire it is not required to use his fire breathing technique at its base level. This is due to the fact that his nen itself can be used as a way of ignition though this will burn his nen out quicker effectively harming its longevity. This effect also doesn't make him any less resistant to other fires not can he necessarily absorb fire around him to strengthen himself as it stands with his current level of power. Though any flames that mix with his own have a considerably reduced effect on him when his hatsu is active. This is due to the way his skin hardens up becomes like the fire resistant scales of the lizards he is basing his hatsu off of. When not active fire can hurt him just as much as other people as of the start of the roleplay. He can add an additional stipulation to his hatsu for each finger he does not clench into a fist his resistance to natural fire is increased while his nen is activated. In essence giving him the feel of a 'true dragon' forcing him to start relying on the advantage of having claw like hands. He has meddled with the concept of cloaking himself in fire but until he achieves a level of passive resistance he is comfortable with he prefer not to in order to not actively burn himself. It is by extension a variation of his ten, and can be strengthened by him becoming more emotional and letting his Ren loose rather than controlling it. The main draw back comes from not just the lack of range but a candle that burns twice as bright burns out twice as quick. The more he uses it the quicker he is to 'burn out' and be left with only his basic abilities. [/hider] Weapons or Equipment- As a person who values his physical ability to its fullest Lyle carries around a pair of brass knuckles just in case. Along with a pocket knife. He also carries special red canteens filled with oils that allow him to use his hatsu more freely as it acts as way of lengthening how long he can use his hatsu ability. Trained Skills or Knowledge- Wilderness Training (moderate) - Lyle was raised in the city but his training heavily consisted of him learning in the countryside allowing him talents such as climbing, hunting, and the like. Though it is not comparable to solider training it lets him stand above those who haven't been forced to face the harshness of the outdoors. Combat Training - His god-father frequents Heaven's Arena, and many other other locations due to his professional nature of being a combat hunter, or one who is heavily involved in tournaments. Passing down his 'will to win' onto his 'god-son' through difficult but reliable training. Knowledge of Animals - Growing up around a professional Zoo Keeper has given Lyle an idea of how certain natural venoms, poisons, and other such work as well as a comfortability around even dangerous creatures. He respects animals, and they tend to respect him in return. Honed Reflexes - A part of the above but it was also honed by other techniques used during his training. His eyes are notable quicker to catch onto things, and see through small little movements that others may miss. Being born with a sense of natural sense of what is happening around him and having that be strengthened through a teacher who has seen many fights in his time has allowed Lyle a more than capable dodging capability, and while not to the level of trained assassin like the Zoldyck family he is still bizarrely receptive. Notable Scars or Physical Appearance Traits- His chest, and calloused hands are give aways of a teenager's reward for having to work hard to achieve what he has. Notable scars from his god-father in mock combat, or even wild animals mat his otherwise normal appearance which is typically why he wears gloves, and t-shirts. His physique if not covered up would give away that the quite gentle young man is actually quite capable of fighting back in his own right. A few minor purple marks here and there tell the tale of a boy who has experienced more than a few burns though none of which are particularly gruesome in nature. Notable Personality Traits/Personality- Lyle is a free spirited young man with a big heart. He is kind, respectful, and gentle to those who treat him with the same kindness he shows them. Though not entirely a unselfish young man he tends to be on the more adventurous side of things. He likes learning, and finding out new things though not to his own detriment. If something would put him in rather notable danger he is fine with being left out of the loop. When in combat he tends to be a bit fearless when it comes the enemy in front of him. Lyle is an individual who is willing to engage in close combat with creatures that are bigger than him, or more experienced for a chance to become stronger. Lyle is well educated, and has common sense which tempers his more battle oriented side. While he can engage with something that scares him, or is notably more experienced if he thinks he is well and truly outmatched he readily is willing to concede if there is no major risk. His pride as a warrior is tempered by the intellectual side of him that shouts out "don't be a dumbass.". He finds the act of killing another creature repulsive and prefers not to do it himself if the option is possible. That being said he has a deep hatred of things he finds evil such as manipulating another human for their own benefit, or intentionally causing pain to another person for nothing more than one's own pleasure. His own most notable trait is lust. As a budding teenager he is very fond of pretty ladies, and isn't afraid of casually flirting with girls older, or as old as him. In short Lyle was a child of scholars and molded into a trained nen user by a natural born warrior. His friendly disposition is up front and honest toward even strangers. He is easily approachable, and is a polite young individual. However to those who are rude, and or corrupt he tends to be very aggressive towards, and while he tends to not hold grudges he is still human with all the flaws, and issues that go with it including hypocrisy at time's. Past Affiliations or Experience- Heaven's Arena The Bear Clan The Padokea Zoo Notable Relations- [i]The Great Bear[/i] Kou Ushimaru - God-Father/Mentor/Pseudo Uncle like figure Winston Rockwood - Father/Teacher Nena Walker Rockwood - Mother/Teacher General History- Born in Padokea City and having lived there for most of his early childhood Lyle Vincent Rockwood was raised by his two loving parents who both did their absolute best to take care of him. He lived in relative comfort for many years with his parents in a rather large apartment house in the city. His mother primarily raised him and ended up taking him to work with her many times in which he grew accustom living around all sorts of animals but specifically more reptiles. His mom was a primary caretaker for many of the animals at the local zoo while not a hunter herself she had grown a rather strong reputation of being an expert in the field of animal care. Though he was never placed in real danger this exposure to animals, big, small, scary, and or otherwise normal gave him a healthy respect for nature growing up. In his father he found someone who would home school him, and teach him whatever he needed to know as when his father gave up his dreams of being a professional hunter in order to settle down with his mother he in turn decided to become a teacher at a local school. His parents took turns home schooling him, and making sure he spent time at local parks to meet young children like him to make sure he was able to socialize properly. Lyle grew up being told many tales from history, and mythology from many of the countries around the world. His favorite were always ones with dragons having admired something so big, and strong they were. Though he disliked when they were the big bad guys and preferred the stories where they were kinder to the protagonist of the story. He didn't think animals would be as greedy as depicted growing up as a young infant child. As he started to grow up it was around the time of 10 his God-Father Kou started to take an interest in him having returned from wandering the world and wanted to fight in a more steady pace at the local heaven's arena. Kou took up the promise that Lyle's dad had kept that he'd get a chance to mold their first kid into a proper hunter. A promise made from a frustrated young man mad at his best friend for almost abandoning him for a girl. Lyle's God-Father was rough, a hard teacher, and often was prone to hurting the young boy in training it lead to a stream lined process of hardening an otherwise soft young boy into someone worth teaching. The next seven years Lyle spent most of his time away from home travelling with his god father when the weather permitted it, and training in the city when it wasn't. Sometimes in a building, mostly in the outdoors in a nearby forest. Kou made Lyle work diligently and any slacking was met with rather brutal punishments such as sitting outside with only a the bare minimum of clothes in the cold meditating with large weights placed on his shoulders, or having to do a certain amount of push ups. Though the most remarkable thing was how little Lyle complained about it. The normal grumbles here and there about being bossed around but Lyle was often quick to pick up on how to do things. His notable ability to adjust on the fly, and once he learned how to fight for real with his nen he became even more observant. His god-father Kou ramped up his training the stronger he got. In six years he spent training with his god father Lyle learned many things, and adjusted his abilities rapidly once he started to get an idea of how they worked. Taking his inspiration from the famous Komodo Dragons for their mass and size, and some rare fire breathing lizards which were the attraction at a local zoo he developed his hatsu rapidly. As well as growing up on Tales of the Great Dragon Zudah from a country far away from Padokea. A Great Dragon that gave advice to many a talented hunter that managed to solve its traps, and prove itself capable of finding him and his lair. A creature of great wisdom that departed it upon those who truly valued strength, resolve, and knowledge. As of recent he has been fighting in Heaven's Arena proving himself a strong competitor and using his nen to quickly pick his way up the ranks using this as a method of constant practice, and a way of earning money so that he can start saving up to travel the world, or just support himself. Though he knows he has no nearly mastered his nen by any means he is still proud of his accomplishments but still wants more. His current goal is to train his nen even more to master what it truly means to be like a dragon something fearsome, powerful, and awe-inspiring. His love of fire, a good fight, and learning how to be a better person. He awaits a day when he too maybe could become a hunter like his godfather and show off to his parents that he's truly become a proper adult. He currently goes by the name: The Little Dragon in the Arena. [/i][/u][/b] [/center] [/hider]
