Bio: Tobias Wagner is an Austrian cyber security specialist who works for Gluckweich (Lucksoft), a software company that specializes in anti-virus programs such as their most famed, “Aegis.” He has always lived alone for being a cyber geek didn’t make him attractive to most women. People were always hard to connect with. No matter what he did, he always somehow seemed to screw up a potential friendship. Let’s not even bother to say relationship because that has never happened. Tobias doesn’t really regret not ever having a girlfriend for it had allowed him to focus on his career, and he could spend as many hours as he wanted on his favorite game “Yggdrasil” without some woman pawing for his attention all the time. Tobias has played Yggdrasil since the game came out and he paid for the Adventurer Pack that granted him increased XP boosts and premium membership that gave him continual benefits. While the majority of jobless players had to spend hours grinding for all eternity to even make a dint in the higher levels, Tobias didn’t have to grind as hard as them though it still took several days of grinding and player-killing. Tobias chose the Assassin class to somewhat get back at the world and the humans he lacked sympathy for. PKing players allowed him to gain lots of loot that he sold on the world market. He eventually joined a guild called “Get Some” and used them solely for dungeon raids. Some of the members were even able to benefit off his money for he bought them cash shop items in exchange for in-game gold. Tobias played the game until its shutdown was announced. He didn’t take the news lightly. All that money he invested in the subscription almost felt like a waste. It would have been if he hadn’t played up to its last few minutes. When the game shutdown…the unexpected happened.
The Avatar
Name: (σωσ) (No one really knew what to call him. His old guild invented the name “Face.”)
Appearance: Face is a doppleganger, but he can take on the form of anyone he encounters. This racial ability made his PK career super effective. Dopplegangers are twiggy and gray with a round face with three holes in it much like a bowling ball. He wears medium armor, black in color, and looks like your typical ninja when he isn’t transformed. Transformed, he can replicate any class but the potency of their copied abilities are reduced to 80%.

Fighting Style: Face is a master assassin not only because his class says he is, but his technique involves tactful assassination. He uses guile and traps to catch opponents off-guard and slays them with burst critical damage. He will douse an opponent with severe damage-over-time effects such as
Poison and
Bleed and standby like a stalking predator until they succumb to their afflictions. His backstabs receive bonus damage, and therefore, are the most deadly. Face can impersonate other characters and walk among them. Few rarely ever notice that he has even impersonated one of their teammates until after the consequence. If Face isn’t in your guild, then he would be seen as a ruthless killer and your worst nightmare. For the party, Face will lay down traps that stun and slow enemies for the off-tanks and other damage dealers to destroy at their leisure. He will also buff the team’s critical chance as well as attack speed for 30 minutes. The assassin rules in one-on-one fights; however, they are not made to tank mobs. While Face has illusion magic and special equipment that offers area of effect damage in a small radius, his primary purpose is to quickly get in, destroy the “carry” or “support” and get the hell out—and he’s pretty good at that business.
Strengths:As an assassin wearing medium armor, Face is very fast. His primary defense is evasion and making accurate cuts with his weapons. Having learned the abilities of the Weapon Master class, Face specializes in close-combat and ranged combat when necessary. He will close the distance on rangers using a deadly kusarigama, and usually it is all over from there for the squishies. With his traps, the party can benefit with crowd control. His poison and bleed effects add to the damage inflicted by his fellow damage dealers. With Face being able to remain incognito during fights to pinpoint the carries and support elements of an enemy group, he can swiftly take them out and help his team quickly advance. Prior to becoming a ninja, for the class wasn’t unlockable until level 60, Face spent time as a rogue. While he can’t unlock and disarm the highly advanced chests and doors, he can open novice chests and locks and use the ability pickpocket to steal items from unsuspecting victims. With Face's high dexterity, he is a difficult opponent to target on the battlefield despite having low physical and magic defense as well as Health Points. He compensates for his lack in defense with speed, evasion, and the burst of critical damage he is capable of consecutively dealing, which shatters the defense of most tanks.
Weaknesses:Face is not meant to take on multiple opponents at once. If ever he has to do so, then he will try to take advantage of the group using traps, guile, and tricks. If he can scatter a team, then he can pick them off. If a team remains a tight, cohesive group, then he is in trouble. Worst case scenario, if he is overwhelmed, he would rather run than risk trying to take an entire party by himself—even at level 100! Majority of Face's attacks utilize physical damage. A tank with a high physical defense rating would survive longer against him than any warrior without such a rating. As a ninja, there are many weapons and items that Face uses to take down enemies and they are in limited supply that need to be restocked. Undead enemies will have the highest advantage of survival with Face due to them already being dead and lacking the pain receptors, nerves, organs, etc. of living entities.
Equipment/Abilities Worthy of Note:Izaniya Armor Set Named after one of the Thirteen Heroes, the armor set is a medium armor set that is black with a sleek design. Face has enhanced and upgraded the armor to max defense with dexterity bonus.
Chameleon Ring grants Face a cloak of camouflage not invisibility. He can blend into his surroundings whenever he needs to through the activation and deactivation of his ring. While the ring is activated, Face cannot be detected by spells. However, if one were to look closely, his victim may be able to physically detect him.
Sanguine Blade is the name of Face’s kusarigama. The blade of the kusarigama is bright-red and at the end of its black chain is a claw that can be used to grapple high ledges or snag enemies to divert their swings. Face can rapidly whirl his kusarigama, making it quite the flayer of flesh. The Sanguine Blade gets its name because it inflicts
Bleed on those who are cut by it. The bleed damage lasts for 10 seconds, and the time will keep resetting for as many times the enemy continues to be cut. Face will lob his kusarigama at enemies in two ways: 1) if the blade impales an enemy, then he will quickly tug himself close to him or her and rip the blade out causing physical damage; and 2) if the claw snags an enemy, then he will yank the chain to throw off the enemy's balance. Both throwing options allow him to interrupt a mage's spell if they are caught channeling when it happens. The claw can latch onto the shields of enemies, and if the tank or off-tank doesn’t have a firm grip on it, he has a 50% chance of yanking it out of their hands. The chain of the Sanguine Blade can be used to create a 20 meter by 20 meter square. Enemies trapped inside the square will suffer either Stun or Slow damage when he yanks the blade back. The kusarigama will close the square on the enemies within, supposedly lacerating their tendons, thus which creates the stunning or slowing effects (
Note: Either effect is random). On top of that effect is the
Bleed effect that is naturally inflicted by the weapon.
Poison Blade/Poison Pot is when Face coats his Sanguine Blade in poison. He often carries about 5 poison vials on his person per dungeon. He will either use the poison vials to coat his sanguine blade for a duration of 5 minutes or he will lob a potion at an enemy to inflict them with poison for 15 seconds.
Shuriken Face will toss out a handful of ninja stars that will scatter in all directions to hit multiple enemies. The scatter effect of the ability does not deal as much damage as when he throws a star individually. Quantity: 10.
Fire Bombs are explosives that have multiple uses. They can be lobbed or rigged to explode at a certain time with a lengthy fuse. Fire Bombs detonate up to 10 meters. Any enemy within 5 meters of the blast will suffer the most damage. Face carries ten of these on his person.
Senbon are very thin steel needles that Face will use to inflict the status effect "Disable." Disable will make an enemy's abilities unusable for 8 seconds. Face is skilled at hitting nerves with these needles that he can perform two other abilities with them.
Senbon Flurry is when Face will throw five Senbon at an enemy which target the enemy's joints. The attack will inflict Slow on an enemy for a duration of 10 seconds.
Senbon Throw is when Face throws a single senbon at an enemy's throat, inflicting silence for 5 seconds. These needles equally inflict physical damage. Face carries 50 needles.
Tripwire a wire for setting traps. It can also be used to strangle unsuspecting enemies. Looping the wire about an enemy's throat will inflict damage over time for 10 seconds before Face releases the enemy. Upon releasing the enemy, the enemy will often feel a brief weakness and collapse in a knock down.
Smokebombs are actually an illusion ability. Face will throw down a smoke bomb and seemingly warp behind an enemy who is within 5 meters of himself. He can also use this ability to make an escape, choosing to warp 5 meters away from his enemies. The smokebomb can also be lobbed at an enemy to create a distraction for the assassin to take advantage of them. If the smokebomb is used on an ally, then it instantly reduces aggro on that ally.
Ninja Clones are created using illusion magic. Six copies of Face will manifest in a ring around an enemy, and all six copies with rush the enemy, closing the circle and inflicting the total physical damage of six Faces.
Friendly Impersonation is when Face uses his racial ability to shape-shift and impersonate an enemy’s familiar. The impersonation is so accurate that it is difficult to tell if he is an impostor or not. Face has used this ability to not only destroy an entire enemy team but to excite paranoia within a group, thus which usually results in them all killing each other. He can use this ability to infiltrate heavily guarded fortresses and tombs. It is very risky for someone can always figure him out before he can make his move.
Knock On Wood is when Face substitutes his immediate position with an object found within his vicinity. It may be a twig. It may be a chair. Whatever it is, it’s not Face so…in your face! The ability is very handy when wanting to avoid life or death situations. Face will normally save this ability solely for those situations for its cooldown is ridiculous.
Shadow Clone Face can create a dark clone of himself that will fight alongside him, mimicking his moves. The clone only lasts for 30 seconds before it will vanish. While the clone is active, if an enemy takes damage from it, the clone deals the same damage as Face. The clone is recognizable for it is black in appearance.
Prop is an illusion ability where Face will take on the form of a stationary object. It can be a chair, tree, bucket, etc. The ability will remain active for as long as Face doesn't move or suffer harm.
Meditation is an ability where Face will sit cross-legged on the ground and descend into deep meditation. While he is meditating, his HP and MP will quickly regenerate. As long as Face is not disturbed from his meditation, he can restore his health and mana to 100%. Due to being a level 100 character, it takes 10 minutes for his bars to be fully restored.
Pickpocket a very basic pick-pocketing skill that the Rogue learns right off-the-bat. With pickpocket, Face can use his already advanced ninja abilities to sneak up on an unsuspecting victim and steal 1 item from their inventory. It is handy for if ever he needs more items after his own inventory is depleted.
Basic Lockpick Face can unlock novice level treasure chests and doors.
Adrenaline (
Buff, Self, All) increases the individual or party’s attack speed and critical chance by 15% for 30 minutes.
Chakra Gates (
Buff, Self)Face will perform a series of hand positions, while a surge of ki rises beneath his feet. He opens the chakra gates that grant him an increase in physical damage by 5%.
Ki Sense (
Passive) Face can sense the ki of an enemy and determine if the risk is worth it or not.
Feather Step (
Passive) Being an assassin, Face can move around without making a single sound. It makes stalking more effective.
Limber (
Passive) Face’s class relies heavily on dexterity. As a bonus, he is granted an increase in evasion and accuracy.
Back Stab (
Passive) While other players may find backstabbing cowardly, as an assassin, Face gets a bonus on damage so suck it!
Ninjutsu (
Passive) Being a Ninja, Face automatically is capable of performing the art of ninjutsu to compliment his deadly arts.
Blind/Silence Invalid (
Passive) Face cannot be blinded because he has no eyes to blind. He also cannot be silenced for he has no mouth.
How a normal human would view me: Others are always fearful of an assassin, especially a doppleganger assassin. People are wary of him but that’s okay because he doesn’t like people any way.
