VecFelix Barracuda
Age:
26
Personality:
On the surface, Felix comes off as a rather silly and lighthearted person, frequently engaging in comical behavior and retaining his oft-present grin despite being mute since birth. He displays a childlike amusement for new situations whether or not they prove adverse or even potentially fatal, he has a penchant for wandering off on his own. Even with all these idiosyncrasies, Felix is extremely personable and has a particularly complimentary nature that easily gains him the friendship and trust of those surrounding him through his actions.
Of course, these aspects hide the complex and determined young man underneath. On the reverse side of his frivolous nature is his considerable shrewdness, which makes him quite capable of reading people and situations. Being singularly ambitious, Felix also has a remarkably tenacious will that allows him to overcome virtually insurmountable obstacles and accept inhuman burdens for the sake of his own goals. Felix has a considerable pride that will not stand for having his humanity insulted or condemned by his enemies, but he is also capable of shelving his pride if it becomes something that will stand in the way of his objective.
Felix is very protective of family and comrades, refusing to allow any harm to come to them and often deem their safety more important than his own in spite of his own personal ambitions and goals. He has to be reminded several times that his own safety is something upon which many people depend and he uses his loved ones as his primary motivation when all hope seems lost. As such, he becomes furious when observing those who willingly or remorselessly cast aside their own comrades or brethren and is sickened by the idea of superiors who reject their duty to those who trust them.
Brief History:
Felix Barracuda, the prodigy of the Barracuda Clan, who was chosen to participate in Ragnarok, can trace his blood and breath back through legend and myth in the stories of monk. There, he was born under a lunar eclipse to a man and woman who called a stretch of frozen tundra their home. Their clan, a strong, spiritual people, practiced a faith that called upon the energy of nature. They believed that the spirits of the soil, the sky, and the trees blessed their flesh and allowed them to survive where other living creatures could not. In a way, this faith was true, as each member of the clan possessed innate spiritual capabilities beyond that of most humans; they could channel their animalistic, primal urges, and manifest it. According to their beliefs--with their unique talents at manipulating spiritual energy and special training was honed over generations.
An elder of the clan had once foretold the arrival of a spiritual envoy--a so called bridge between the corporeal world and the mystical forces of nature. The blood-red moon, a product of the lunar eclipse of Felix's birth, fulfilled this prophecy. From the day he was born, Felix was trained day and night, learning to understanding the ways of nature, and channeling his animalistic urges for combat without rest. One might assume that, Felix may have been vengeful, angry, having to live his life in such seclusion, but Felix was resigned to his fate, and pushed himself onward.
Soon the time would come for the young prodigy to prove himself, to prove his prophetic birth in Ragnarok. The pressure is unbreable.

These Runes, connect Felix to nature, specifically the animalistic side. As of now, Felix can channel for different animals, and utilize their abilities or physical properties;
-Way of the Monkey: Felix can jump several meters in the air and hit his opponents from various angles with acrobatic moves without losing his balance, like a monkey. Felix's mobility allows him to attack from every position, move in the enemy's blind spot, and fight on any kind of terrain. In terms of defense, he takes full advantage of his agility to fall back quickly, dodge the enemy's attacks and react immediately after being hit. The coupled with his strength and speed make him a logistical nightmare. (When using this, he his covered in Orange aura]
-Way of the Cheetah: In battle, this precision and rapid pace makes Felix a nightmare, especially when combined with his offensive abilities of his strength. The young man can utilize this whenever he feels that the situation best calls for it. As a fearsome combatant who is powerful at short, mid, and long ranges, the fact that Felix has the speed to shift between these distances can be the downfall of many of his opponents, especially those who rely on a particular zone of influence where their own talents are most useful. (When using this, he is covered in Yellow aura)
-Way of Bear: In combat, this raw power comes to bear when Felix enters melee range, at which point he uses his speed to destroy his enemies as quickly as possible, holding little back in favor of completely overwhelming his opponent's defenses. A few punch's is capable of ripping a hole in the side of a building, and he is capable of lifting massive loads above his head, countless times his size and weight. Combined, these expressions of his physicality might leave few willing combatants who oppose him, and those that choose to take the risk are quick to find the true limits of his strength. (When in this form, he is covered in Blue aura)
-Way of the Turtle: Despite his amazing physical capabilities, Felix cant dodge all attacks, so this form allows for that. Upon activated this, he manifests a large, green transparent turtle shell that blocks attacks for some time. This can protect him for a few seconds at most, but it will shatter after its been hit far to many times. (when is this form, he is covered in green aura)

Yggdrasil Seed:
The Barracuda clan has passed down this ability, from prodigy to prodigy for generations, and Felix is no exception. This Seed manifests in a special way, as monks, the clan revers Guanyin, the hundred handed Bodhisattva. This worship has manifested itself into the seed, giving Felix the ability to literally summon one of its many hands. By performing a clapping motion before following it up a punching one, or a different hand sign, instantly the Bodhisattva will copy it, throwing an already made fist from its massive collection. These massive hands will manifest from behind Felix, and launch itself at his target, which will produce massive damage. Felix usually refuses to use this ability, and only resorts to it in desperation.
