APPEARANCE
While Strazio's appearance can change, and often does, based on recent events some characteristics are intrinsic. Due to the self-destructive nature of his magick his entire body is riddled with scars, burn marks, and various other blemishes. His hair is white, another side-effect from years of self-abuse. Attached to a metal chain around his neck hangs the crest of Darkshire. He often wears a loose fitting white cloak while traveling, but will discard it in a fight. Recently he’s also been carrying a VSS Vintorez rifle slung over his shoulder, a memento from a fallen friend.
PERSONALITY
Abrasive - Strazio is slow to make friends and quick to make enemies.
Short-tempered - Strazio has poor anger management and even small frustrations can set him off.
Loyal - Fiercely defensive of those he views as friends and will throw down in a heartbeat to protect them.
Vengeful - Few can hold a grudge like Strazio can. Those that cross him make a spiteful enemy for life.
Reckless - While he is reasonably intelligent Strazio’s rage makes him prone to brash decisions. If angered he’d rather trade blow for blow with an enemy than avoid damage.
Prideful - Strazio knows he is a force to be reckoned with and will often overestimate himself.
FIGHTING STYLE
Strazio embodies the idea of glass cannon well. His fighting style focuses on an all-out offensive posture with marginal regard for his own well-being. Using rapid and devastating attacks Strazio seeks to overwhelm his opponent before they can mount a proper counterattack. Pain just fuels his anger and he often devolves into a boiling hate-furnace hellbent on destroying his enemy. His lack of self-preservation will often lead him to eating an attack or two on the chin for a chance to perform a devastating counterattack. In combat his access to telepathy and telekinesis is limited, but he can occasionally use them with varying degrees of effectiveness.
However while his God-mind transformation is active he becomes a different fighter. Although he still focuses heavily on offense it is a more precise and calculated sort of aggression. Rather than hitting an opponent as hard and as fast as he can he will apply pressure tactically with the goal of dismantling his opponent. His sense of self-preservation is at an all time high and trading blows would be a rare occurrence. In this mode Strazio is ruthless, precise, and relentless.

TIPS ON WRITING AS STRAZIO
- Although he is the Avatar of Rage Strazio does have a leisurely side and can enjoy peaceful moments as much as anyone.
- If wound up enough he’ll often spout a string of expletives, usually a bunch of f-bombs.
- In a fight feel free to smack him around as much as you want, he’s pretty squishy.
- He can be stubborn and will rarely admit when he’s wrong and instead double down on his mistake.
- His access to telepathy and telekinesis is a result of Tearen's tutelage, but he is often unable to utilize the two abilities proficiently.
