Levi Micah Cruz

29

Male

Levi, being a rock star, has many fans, and at times some of those fans are beautiful young women. His career has made him young and immature. He is still in his sleep-around phase and has yet to give it up. Although, he does dream of having a woman who would stick around. One who he could make breakfast for, who he could wake up and see sleeping next to him every morning and not someone who he would have to kick out. He wants a smart woman who supports his dreams, doesn’t love him just for his money, and who doesn’t try to hold him back. Someone who he is comfortable with and who he doesn’t have to hide from.

Levi is a beautiful man and he has inherited his father’s belt. Cocoa butter skin, springy black curls, and eyes of honey. It’s no wonder the women melt at the sight of him and his voice steals their hearts. Tattoos line his arms, the muscles of his back, and form a low necklace beneath his collar bones that say the quote above: “Where words fail music speaks.” Beneath his navel across the solid expanse of his abdomen is written: “I pick you.” He has one nose ring on his right nostril, he wears hoops along the lower shells of his ears, and he wears low-hanging necklaces about his neck. The man is tastefully ripped for being only a guitar player maybe because he does more than just play music!

Greek

Apollo - The God of Music, Poetry, Art, Oracles, Archery, Plague, Medicine, Sun, Light and Knowledge.

• Sound Manipulation - Levi can create, shape, and manipulate sound, a periodic disturbance of the medium (air, ground, water, etc.) that radiates outward in straight lines in the form of a pressure wave. The effect these waves produce upon the ear is perceived as sound. He can generate high frequencies and frequencies low enough to cause internal damage to others. He can intensify, hush, distort, as well as warp, strengthen, and slow down the sound using his guitar. As this power is in its early stages of development and has yet to be truly discovered as an actual power, Levi believes that his electric Stratocaster, Jezebel is a lucky and magical instrument and is the true producer of the glorious sound that accompanies his music when really it is its user.
• Song of Energy - Levi plays a song that can raise the spirits of those around him, greatly improving their performance on the battlefield. It is the music that inspires one to go on, go harder, and to never give up!
• Precognition - Levi has the ability to foresee possible futures and observe what may happen. This ability sometimes occurs in the form of mysterious dreams or can randomly occur in the middle of an activity. The visions are vivid as though Levi was transferred to another time and place, while in reality, an instant to a few seconds have passed. This same ability can function to allow him to predict a possibility to an action, which grants him anticipation, but the future is never set in stone. The future and its outcomes can always change. At this time, Levi does not see this ability as an ability but an unexplained phenomenon that has reoccurred throughout his life. At times, he doesn't even know what to think of his dreams and visions, and feels that they would be too awkward to share. Everyone would think he's crazy.

Using his power puts a strain on his vocal chords making it difficult to sing for prolonged periods, which differs from the hours he spends in concert. Normally singing doesn’t bother him, but when he taps into his divine power, his vocal chords will start to strain depending on the intensity of his music. His backup for this problem is the sound that he can amplify from his guitar. He can continue to perform using his guitar if ever he loses his voice due to strain, but his fingers will start to ware when playing with his powers. Levi relies on his voice and hands to produce his sound. If he ever loses both, then he can only rely on the natural sounds around him, which isn’t at all effective for manipulation for they aren’t targeting a specific threat. Regardless, if Levi’s voice goes during a battle and if his guitar is ever broken, then he and the team are out of luck and support.

Levi is a rock star and stereotypically he partakes in the three main musts: sex, drugs, and rock and roll. He doesn’t drug as heavy as some cokeheads. The hardest thing he has ever hit was weed for despite not having a high school diploma, he still had common sense not to go harder than that. He smokes cigarettes on a regular basis, and he might partake in a cigar or a fresh bag of Mary every once in a while. He drinks socially and he can hold his liquor pretty well. When he isn’t in concert, he dedicates time to writing music, painting, and going outside. Outside, he takes long walks or runs a few miles, and he’ll workout at the local gym or playground. He doesn’t stay out too long for, well, he’s a celebrity and people are insane.

When Levi’s invited to parties by other singers and celebrities, he usually doesn’t stay for long. He doesn’t know those people and a lot of those people just invite him just so that they can say he was there. He likes quieter occasions such as private dinners, movie nights at home, and just anywhere where he can be alone or if he is with someone, where he can focus only on that person and not be distracted by people and things who don’t matter.

When Levi is attracted to someone, he will flirt with the person and tease her. When he’s convinced that the girl likes him back, then he’ll try to serenade her. Yeah, its old school, but he believes that it’s pretty effective. He’s smooth with his words and tries to make his dates just as memorable as his concerts even if they may not work out in the end. He doesn’t want to regret anything.

Overall, Levi is a cool, soft-spoken guy who doesn’t raise his voice for nobody for he feels he shouldn’t have to. Ain’t nobody got time for that. For being soft-spoken, when he’s in front of a mic, people are usually amazed by the sound that leaves him. Where is that voice coming from?!

He isn’t the strongest of the godlings and he performs mostly a support role, but the biggest mistake one could make is assume that he is weak. He will stand up to any brute no matter the size or power level if that person is harming another person for unjust reasons. He especially doesn’t like when a man lays a hand on a woman and regardless if the man and the woman were a couple, he will punch the dude in his face [you can see his history for those reasons].

Levi was born and raised in The Bronx, New York by his mother Monique Cruz. He grew up never knowing his biological father, but he wanted to believe that he was a better man than the one that came after him. Monique married a possessive, controlling, and abusive man by the name of Antoine Hoskins. He was an amateur rapper who believed that he was destined to make it big with his shitty lyrics. All the guy could produce was a good beat, which was the only thing rappers could produce that was worth listening to during that time. Antoine tried to get Levi to write rap music instead of the poetic crap he’d fill his diaries with, but Levi was too in love with his guitar. At times, he would stay late at school practicing so that he wasn’t in a hurry to return home. Antoine was quite the bully that whenever Levi refused to do what he wanted him to do, he always got a backhand or a fist. Around middle school, Levi was fed up. After the eighth grade, he vowed to grow stronger so that he could liberate him and his mother from the bastard.

Along with Music Appreciation, Levi took Weight Lifting. He wanted to learn how to work every muscle in his body that mattered. He participated in amateur boxing at the local gym, which he liked to do during the weekday because it gave him a better excuse as to why he wasn’t coming home on time.

Levi’s career took off when he had managed to build an amateur garage band with the kids in his Music Appreciation class by the name of Apollyon. Their band mascot was some Icarus-figure who was flying toward the sun. He started writing his music and applying his lyrics to the sound. Next thing he knew it, his band was in a talent show at school winning first place, and then they entered a Battle of the Bands competition. His band won first place again and they earned $50,000 that he fairly split with each of his members. A man approached him afterwards by the name of Dan Henderson. He shocked Levi by offering him a contract and a nice chunk of change. He was going to be living his dream!

Unfortunately, he had to leave his bandmates in order to enter the contract and he figured by giving them the rest of the competition money, that they were able to split on good terms. Overjoyed, he returned home (unexpectedly to Antoine). Levi entered the house to overhear Monique yelling at Antoine for being a bum and how he needed to get a job instead of relying on a rap career that wasn’t ever going to take off. Antoine hadn’t liked her dissing his dreams, and in retaliation, he harshly silenced her yelling with the back of his hand. It was the moment Levi had been waiting for for such a long time. Just seeing Antoine backhand his mother made something in him snap.

Levi rushed the guy and beat his ass. Monique, fashioning and swollen and bloody lip, screamed for Levi to stop but he didn’t until the guy beneath him stopped moving. Antoine was still alive, but his face wasn’t ever going to be the same again. Levi was furious to see his mother crying over such a loser, and although it might not have been the most appropriate moment, he dumped the news on her about his contract. He begged for her to leave Antoine and to come with him so that they could start a new life, but she refused. She also wanted Levi not to pursue his dream and to give up the opportunity in order to finish high school. Levi looked at his mother as though she had lost her mind for he had long made up his.

Levi went to his room, packed up his bags, and left everything behind: school, his mother, and especially that son of a bitch Antoine. To this day, he never regretted leaving for the doors opened up to him after that. Fame and fortune carried him away, and nearly brainwashed him of his old life. Every now and then he feels the urge to call his mother to check on her for it had been years since he last seen her, but he doesn’t. He fears what might have become of her. What she might say. What he might hear. Instead, he keeps putting the phone call on the back burner.

Monique Hoskins/Cruz – Mother - Levi loves his mother but he hasn’t talked to her since he left, which was thirteen years ago. He hopes everything is going well with her, and he is afraid to call and find out. He has been telling himself for the past thirteen years to call her, but he never does. Who knows how long he’ll keep telling himself?

Antoine Hoskins – Step-Father – This man is not his father. He will never accept him or acknowledge him as such. Levi believes that he is nothing but a piece of shit that if he ever left the earth, he would not shed a tear. He hopes that his mother broke away from that dude.

Dan Henderson – Manager – He’s not exactly family, but Levi accepts him as such. He respects the man for he respects him in return and they’ve been in business together for years. Dan is a father-figure who tries to make sure Levi isn’t doing anything that could damage his reputation and career. Basically, he keeps him out of trouble and keeps him on top of all of his gigs and appointments.

Brotherhood of Breakers

"XXX" is literally his name. The user was unable to find a screenname that wasn't already taken and so out of frustration, the user typed in those three letters and surprisingly the name worked. It might have triggered a glitch in the system for usually three character names were not allowed. Other players have called him ridiculous nicknames such as "Triple X," "Porno," and his most preferred name besides his epithets, "Chains."

• The Undying - Chains is renowned for being quite the tank and bruiser in combat. His breaker allows him to survive in a fight longer than most and venture into quite the amount of dungeons without need for a full team. As far as his PVP career goes, no player has ever seen him lose. This doesn't mean he can't lose just no one has ever seen or heard of him ever losing, so he might have lost in secret once upon a time [Open for Character Rivalry if another player wants to fit in his past history]. Short story shorter, Chains health bar is deemed to be broken.
• Cerberus - There's just something about his fighting style that players can't seem to figure out, but many have reported that it's like fighting against three different weapon skills.
• Beelzebub - He is even named after his favorite greataxe, Beelzebub and for good reason because his weapon is quite the nightmare.
• Grey Wolf - Due to the fur that lines his armor.

Mid-twenties


Orange


Chains is a tall (6’3”) man who dons heavy fur-lined armor, a trademark armor that is wolfish in appearance. His silky black hair grows from his scalp in blade-like layers that brush his brows and the shells of his ears. The sides of his head to the nape of his neck are buzzed and bristly to the touch, leaving the hair on the crown of his head as the longest by 3 to 4 inches. His eyes are a bright silver, and in contrast with his dark features, stand out as one of his most attractive qualities. His right brow cosmetically has a scar splitting through it down his cheekbone and a second thinly going across the bridge of his nose beneath his eyes. Cosmetically, beneath his armor, are several Norse/rune-like tattoos that go down his strong arms and behind the swells of his muscled back. From the edges of his jaw down to his chin is rough stubble that creates the shadow of a goatee. Chains's overall appearance and demeanor is of a wild and untamed man that when he grins, some envision him with fangs.

Beelzebub is a boss drop from «Beelzebub» a secret boss Chains found on accident when exploring. The devil was a sadist who fed off the health of players for the duration they remained in his realm. Players with average health points quickly succumbed to the devil’s leeching attacks but because of Chains’s breaker, he was able to survive long enough to vanquish the creature.

Beelzebub is a greataxe that is just as diabolical as the boss who dropped it. The weapon is just as much a glutton, relishing in the pain and anguish it happily dishes out to enemies in bursts. The axe deals an increased amount of critical damage also known as burst damage for it is designed to take down heavily armored enemies. It saps 10% of the enemy’s HP (and heals its wielder for the same amount) for each successful strike, and can randomly inflict the status effect Delay if an enemy were to sustain too many successful hits from the crippling weapon. A final buff the weapon grants is only activated when Beelzebub successfully strikes an opponent. The weapon grows excited from the taste of blood and pain and will increase the user’s attack speed by 10% for each successful strike made, stacking up to 5 times but only for that specific adversary. If Chains were to switch enemies, then his attack speed resets to normal. If he stops attacking the enemy he has the stacks on for 60 secs, then his weapon will rest and his attack speed resets to normal until he lands a successful strike again.

The length of the greataxe is 7.5 feet and its total reach is 10.5 feet if swung from the base. The weapon is bound to the account and cannot be sold, traded, or dropped by the user.

Chains’s breaker is an unseen one but just because it’s unseen doesn’t mean it isn’t noticeable in combat. What players see is a 2H Axe user, and in battle, they see the character swinging it around; but there are some motions that don’t make sense for an axe-wielder to perform such as thrusting or reaching further than what the character’s arms allow. In Beelzebub’s case, the reach of the axe is roughly 8 feet depending on Chains’s hand position, and even though the axe will stop at 8 feet, the weapon will still somehow strike a target standing 10 feet away. Chains will even be seen moving his hands closer to the axe-head for close-quarters combat and wield his axe like one would a sword. What the players cannot see are what the user sees, three character clones running around sandwiched together in a horrendous crotch-to-ass cluster: one wielding a one-handed sword, one wielding a two-handed axe (the one that is actually visible to other players and should be the actual character model), and one wielding a polearm. The damage inflicted by these weapons is the same as the damage inflicted by whatever weapon the real Chains is wielding at the time. These two extra men have also granted Chains a drastic increase in his total health, which is why most players who battle him in PVP claim he is Undying, “hax!” or his health bar is broken. The enemy is actually fighting three opponents in one, taking down three health bars with the same passive abilities as the main user, thus the Cerberus complex—lop off one head and there are still two more. Reducing one of the extra man’s health to zero will make Chains’s health bar instantly drop to 0, leaving the true status of his health unseen to those with the ability to see it. While logically, he still has two health bars left, it can’t be determined how much health he has left after the first man is murdered. As long as the main character survives, then the other two will resurrect with healing over time.

This breaker grants him a great amount of survivability that he uses to tank for his party and to survive mobs when soloing dungeons. He isn’t afraid to be the initiator in combat, jumping in first to draw the enemy’s attention while his team gets into strategical battle positions.

@VolenvradicaIt hasn't been done before to my knowledge...maybe The Nameless Tavern does it? Idk. But, I'm on a 4-day break from life and so I'll get you a CS soon, but my 4-day of crazy events IRL begins tomorrow lol. But yeah, I'm sure I'll get a CS done some time.

@VolenvradicaI find this game to be very interesting. Do you have room for another, and if so, am I allowed to take the CS template and just jazz it up?

Name: Jarvan Lightshield IV and Garen Crownguard

The laughter between Jarvan and Garen fell quiet when a man wielding a lamppost mosied up to the table and snatched a bottle of Royal Demacian Wine without permission. A few soldiers made a motion to stop the man until Jarvan stopped them by firmly thrusting out his arm. It was only until Jax slowly turned toward him that the former prince offered him a kind smile.

“It is all right, warrior. The bottle was for me and my men, but we won’t be drinking tonight,” Jarvan informed.

Garen had a hand against his chin as his blue eyes scrutinized the strange man before him. The man’s fame then suddenly dawned on him as his own expression of awe brightened his features with excitement.

“By the gods, it’s Jax!” Garen revealed.

Jarvan’s brows rose as he looked to the vanguard curiously.

Garen smiled and held a hand out to the warrior.

“He is a true champion in The League. His record is unsurmountable! Jax won so many tournaments that the High Councilor tried to place a restriction on his skill. Instead, he chose to fight with a lamppost!” Garen grinned almost too proudly. Apparently, he had felt satisfaction standing before a worthy opponent and match. Brushing the back of his head as his cheeks glowed with embarrassment, he apologized to The Champ: “Forgive me. I am sure that you can regale us with your legacy. I suppose I got a little excited.”

Garen held out his hand in a friendly handshake toward Jax. “If we ever meet on the battlefield, I will be sure to do my best to give you a worthy match.”

Jarvan smiled at the two until the ball mysteriously fell quiet as an unusual entity entered. The sight of The Kindred unsettled the emperor for its appearance usually meant that someone at the ball was to die.

“The Kindred?” Jarvan muttered in surprise. He strode away from Jax and Garen, and Garen didn’t even have to command The Vanguard to follow their lord. Garen could see the concerned look shining in his eyes. The appearance of The Kindred was starting to make him question the divine safety the gods had promised. Was the peace truly meant to be through death?

Jarvan carefully approached the spirit and stopped a few feet away from her.

“What brings The Kindred here?” Jarvan questioned, unafraid if his question may have come off too stern.

The appearance of the Noxans nearly made Garen forget that he was standing with Jax as his once boyish demeanor hardened sternly into a glare.

Noxus, he thought.

The Sinister Blade looked so relaxed in her black gown, flaunting her vulnerabilities like the fruit of a carnivorous plant. Garen was feeling a little one-uped. If he hadn’t been ordered to show in his armor, then he might have worn a tuxedo or similar formal wear as her companion. He felt that he didn’t need his armor to dispatch of those guests. His expression softened as he remembered that the ball had been meant to be a peaceful occasion. He was not going to be the one to upset the gods and shame Demacia.

Wrath of the Gods

@HalfOfLancelotAs much as everyone likes to believe that they’re the subject-matter-experts on gods in every god-related RP in existence, what it comes down to is GM subjectivity. What does the GM want and what does the GM believe is acceptable? Everyone has their own interpretation of the gods/goddesses. We all do the research. We all read the multiple interpretations and reworks of every myth because there isn’t one concrete interpretation.

Horus and Ra have been the same god in several interpretations so yes, Horus could be as powerful as Ra and Horus could have in fact even been him according to that interpretation written about him. He has been associated with the sun just as Ra, and also under Re. He is one of the most diverse gods in the Egyptian pantheon. It all depends on what interpretation you want to use.

What really needs to happen is the GM(s) should write a list next to each of the gods/goddesses in that list and specifically write what he/she/them deems is acceptable. That way, the powers you get for the characters should be directly conforming to what you deem acceptable rather than what we feel is acceptable. Because I guarantee you with how things have been going so far, we’re always going to be 90% wrong and will have to rework, rework, rework, rework…

When you have the sun as your power, then it can be easily written as one power because it is the sun, which performs several functions. Thus, the subsets. It wouldn’t have mattered if I made Sun, power slot two, and Moon power slot, three. Regardless it’s the characteristics of the Sun just as if I made a Squirrel demi-god. He can not only climb trees better than the average human, move with inhuman agility/reflexes, and talk to squirrels (three subset powers), but he can probably glide (subset four) if I wanted to go that route or even see in the dark (subset five). It’s all subjective.

But sparing everyone from the subjectivity as good as you can would be helpful and in order to do that you have to provide a short/brief description separating them all to your standards. It is a waste of time and creativity to constantly make profiles that are never going to be accepted because 1) you’re not giving feedback on what would be acceptable powers, and 2) you’re leaving it up to us to read your minds. It just doesn’t work.

As for personality, I can write my character having whatever x, y, z personality. You are correct. I cannot determine how the writers’ characters will react to my character but you out-right saying that my character will automatically be hated from the get-go is you taking OOC emotions and behavior IC, which is taboo in itself. A personality is a personality. I could have said “he’s an asshole” and you wouldn’t have said a thing about it because you find that me already setting how everyone is going to see him from the get-go in “that regard” is acceptable. Sorry guy, but that argument was hogwash.

I can write my character and say he’s going to be just like this, and then surprise! People actually like him. Oh, well, that was unexpected let me go edit the personality description and update my relationships with other characters. Whatever gives you the impression that the CS cannot be edited to conform to how things progress in the game…I have no idea. It happens in RP all the time. So really, whether I said he was a leader-type, it wouldn’t have mattered. He would either wind up being a leader-type as intended, or he might wind up being the asshole as unintended. You never know. But what shouldn’t happen is people’s emo-IRL-personalities flooding IC to dictate the character’s personality because that’s not writing. That is just garbage, and only inexperienced writers do that crap.

How your character views another should be related to that character’s personality and not your personality and how you feel IRL. Characters are supposed to be completely separate entities unless you’re telling me that you come online to role play yourself under different fantastical disguises. If that is the case, then so be it. Some people get off on that shit. No judgment here.
