Athinar

Shadow of the Skyline

@bluetommy2 Suits, tuxedos, etc.

@OnlyThePieSo's a hoodie. :| A hoodie also covers your face in rain.

Shadow of the Skyline

I've noticed that everyone in the criminal underground wears a trenchcoat. Where's my drug dealer who wears polo shirts and khakis, dammit!

Edit: Aleksandr, Violetta and Samuel are the only differences, and they all look like Abercrombie and Fitch models.

Speaking of posts, I should probably get to work on my response for @NeutralNexus. Le sigh.

@bluetommy2Yup!

Unhallowed Ground - Evil Divided (Adrian Vs Athinar)

Athinar kept grinning. Even as the sword stabbed him, ran him through, he kept grinning. Why? He had the Vampyr pinned. Not in the way most people would consider the word 'pinned', but he had his foe relatively immobile. Letting go of the Vampire's throat, without the undead even needing to force him to let go, he used his remaining arm to twist to the right, and grab the Blade. While he was doing this, Athinar was pushing himself upon the blade, as to keep it within him. Then, he struck.

With a swing that ripped tendons in the mortal body, even with the enhanced durability and speed of the Arcane Style: Soldier, Athinar aimed at a horizontal cut at the neck, attempting to decapitate the Vampire. This puppet body was finished, and he knew it. However, why not take out the Childe of the Dark, as well? The swing was so fast, that it seemed to be one solid plane, a window into an abyss. However, no matter the result of the swing, Athinar would collapse, the magic that kept the body puppet together shattering with the death of the body, and his corpse would begin to melt into darkness, as a black cloud of smoke rose to the heavens, going through the ceiling.

@bluetommy2 I love Undertale.

Shadow of the Skyline

Aleksandr Kain

Age: 25

Alignment/Position: Evil, Independent Agent.
Preferred Dialogue Color(please put the color code): F0E68C

Height: 6'2"

Weight: 158 lb.

Appearance: Aleksandr is a tall, lean man, with dark brown eyes, which are usually almost covered by his long brown bangs.

General Apparel: Alek wears a hoodie over a white dress shirt, and washed grey-black jeans. He wears black leather gloves when on the job, as to not leave fingerprints. He wears black boots with good traction at all times, and warm wool socks. It gets cold and rainy in Vale City.

Lifestyle Notes: Since he graduated from college, he has lived alone, in his apartment in a pretty swanky building by the Pier on the North Side of the Residential District. He has been thinking about getting a cat. Cats are cool.

Location: Apartment in the Residential District.

Afflictions: Alek has mild bouts of vertigo. Luckily, these appear quite rarely, but in extremely stressful situations (i.e: A gunfight on top of a skyscraper, a car chase along the edge of the docks, etc,) he begins to feel dizzy, and his depth perception begins to go, at distances beyond arms' reach.

Likes: Cats, music, money (lots of it,) and one-upping the arrogant.

Dislikes: Needless cruelty, arrogance, those who go out of their way to inconvenience you.

Fears: Not dying, but being hurt beyond the point of recovery, and then becoming either comatose or crippled.

Superhuman Ability and Description:

Speed Calling
Alek can draw upon a hidden reserve of speed, in either small bursts, or a long period of time. He can go up to 60 MPH for a 3 second burst, or up to 20 MPH over a 3 minute run. It gets exponentially faster, as the time gets shorter. After which, he simply cannot move that fast, as in, he cannot reach that speed until twelve hours have passed. His senses and reactions are adjusted so he can react to things while moving that quickly.

History: Alek was always that one rich kid. Everybody knows him, that one guy who always had the latest phone, the best clothes, and threw all the parties? Yeah, that was Alek. Born to a fairly well-off banker, and a rich newspaper mogul, Alek got into the best of private schools, and eventually, colleges, all while keeping his powers secret.

He received a wide education in engineering, mechanical and architectural, and had planned on becoming an architect, before both of his parents were killed in a highly suspicious 'accident'. Normally, their child would get the inheritance in the will, but due to a legal issue, the Bank of Vale City took their millions, and left Alek penniless. Due to this, Alek looked into their deaths, and discovered that the Vale City Bank system had hired a man called 'Mongoose' to arrange for their demise. Hunting him down, Alek found and killed 'Mongoose', but the money was long gone.

A bitter Alek turned to crime, and began to use his powers and skills to rob banks discretely, take out gangs, and orchestrate traps. He is for hire as an entry/retrieval specialist, 'fixer', and cleanup agent, but his prices are exorbitant.

Follower/Gang Information: No gang.

Of Mice and Men and Zombies

Black Deaths, Dark Hearts (Ruby vs Zande)

Ruby was in fact pushed back, but she was also trained in seven different martial arts. She didn't get to where she was without toughening up. The shock caused her arms to vibrate, and she was pushed back even more, feet skidding through the dirt. When the Bo was thrown at her knees, she quickly sheathed her knife, and, as the rod was about four inches from her knees, kicked it up with her right foot, and caught it in both hands. The savage had the brutal-looking ax in his hand, and he was reaching for something behind his head, a mask. The smoke was already beginning to dissipate, so Ruby grabbed two smokebombs, and threw one at the man's face. It wasn't fast enough to prevent him from putting on the armor, but if it hit, it would cover his head with smoke. Regardless of whether it hit or not, Ruby would throw a smokebomb on the ground between them, and fall back silently into the halls of the dojo. The man had too wide of a swing. Fighting him in the open was a disadvantage. In the dojo, while the rotting walls were merely paper, the beams of the broken building would hamper wide swings.
