Character history: "Pain? Anger? You know nothing of either, I will tear apart the world with my bare hands if I must. I will find Damien Alabaster and he will not live" - Strazio Rockwell
Born to a middle-class family in Riverweldt, a small fishing hamlet off the coast of the Striped sea, Strazio Rockwell seemed destined to live a simple life. His parents were kind and the citizens of Riverweldt were a close-knit community of family and friends. Strazio spent his formative years playing with the other children of Riverweldt and learning the ins and out of a fisherman's life. That is until a wandering nomad found his way to Riverweldt. Strazio was fifteen at the time the wanderer arrived. The man spoke little and only asked for a room and some sustenance at the only tavern in town. He was tall and kept himself shrouded in a dark red cloak, he kept to himself and aroused much suspicion from the townsfolk. Strazio worked nights at the tavern, cleaning the tables and floors for a bit of extra money.
The Nomad called Strazio over to his corner table, he spoke quietly but every word resounded with Strazio. "Look at my face and remember it. My name is Damien Alabaster remember that as well." Damien looked grizzled and worn out, but his eyes held an unmistakable fire. Strazio tried to back away, but Damien grabbed his shirt and pulled him closer and placed his hand on Strazio's chest. Red crackling energy arced throughout Damien's hand, searing a symbol into Strazio's chest.
"Remember my face, remember my name, and most importantly remember what I'm about to do." Damien pushed Strazio across the tavern and red lightning arced throughout the building. The tavern crumbled and collapsed upon itself, trapping Strazio underneath the debris. Explosions and the sound of screams kept Strazio company for the next few hours as Damien slaughtered his friends and family. Trapped beneath the rubble he screamed and struggled, rage and hatred and fury festered within his chest. He commited Damien's face to memory, he vowed to kill Damien Alabaster he vowed to avenge his village.
Five days he was trapped, for five whole days he was left with nothing but his anger. His fury kept him sustained through starvation and dehydration. On the fifth day of his exile he was found by a traveling sorcerer. The sorcerer was known as Clement and he could see great potential in the young Strazio. He took the young man under his wings and began to teach him magick. With his passion and drive he quickly learned how to harness the raw energy of the universe. A rare breed of magick user he used his own body as a conduit for magic rather than incantations or wands. The raw energy did take its toll on his body, every spell would damage his flesh and organs. But it was because of this sacrifice, that his magick was so powerful. It wasn't dampaned by running through a wand or circuiting through an incantation it was raw and powerful.
Several years passed and yet Strazio did not forget Damien and he did not forget his vow. Clement had taught him eveything he could and so Strazio set out on his own. He adventured across the world in search for the one man he hated so much. Much was sacrificed in his pursuit for Damien; his health, his friends, and his morals.But one fateful day, a decade after his initial run-in with Damien he was finally able to track down his quarry. He held Damien's head in his hand and just as he was about to put an end to Damien's life Strazio disappeared from existence and appeared in front of Omni.
Physical Description: Tall and athletic Strazio's body is covered in burns and scars from repeated use of his magick. His hair is stark white, another side effect of his destructive magic. He often wears cloaks and shrouds and has cloth wrappings around his hands and arms. He travels lightly and has a small pack which he carries his essentials.
Stats:
ATK: 5
DEF:1
SPD:2
TEC:2
Starting Proficiencies:
Ranged Proficiency (1000)
Physical Strength (1000)
Area Attack Proficiency (600)
Starting Powers:
Burst Movement (800) - Drawing in raw energy Strazio can push his body to its limits, allowing him to move at super human speeds for short durations. These bursts put an enormous strain on his body and he tries to use them sparingly.
Starting Moves:
Shatter (300) (Requires Physical Strength)
A very short range "shotgun" style blast of roiling hot white energy. The blast originates from Strazio's palms and extends about a foot outward, he is able to manifest this power very quickly and it is one of the few abilities of his that doesn't put a large amount of strain on his body. Repeated uses of this ability in a short time will burn his palms and hurt his forearms.
Breach (600) (Requires Ranged Proficiency)
Breach takes a few seconds to charge up, but Strazio can move during this time. White hot energy swirls and crackles around his forearm for a few seconds. After about three seconds he punches forward, releashing a wicked bolt of raw magick in a straight line forward. The bolt is very powerful and fast, but very skinny and can be difficult to aim. Due to its power it is often best to dodge the bolt rather than trying to absorb or deflect it. Strazio can also charge the bolt for three more seconds to release a much stronger beam. This excess energy burns and ravages his arm, dealing 1 point of damage to him should he choose to charge it beyond its normal use.
Shockwave (600) (Requires Ranged Proficiency, Physical Strength, Area Attack Proficiency)
Strazio draws in energy for two seconds and releases it in a very destructive shockwave around himself. This shockwave serves a dual purpose, knocking away projectiles and scorching anyone close enough to get caught in its area of effect. The blast travels about six feet outwards in all directions, incinerating and annihilating everything in its path. This wracks Strazio's body with pain and burns his flesh and bruises his organs, he takes 1 point of damage whenever he uses the shockwave portion of this ability. Strazio can choose to instead shoot the energy forward in a cone, using both arms. The distances increases to about eight feet and is slightly more concentrated than the shockwave. This hurts his arms, but doesn't damage him as much as the shockwave.
100 OM leftover
I confirm that I have read and agreed to the Rules of Conduct.
Player notes - I wasn't sure if it was alright to have self damaging abilities, I'm assuming it would be alright especially considering Strazio's backstory and the way he channels his magic.
Also I'm not sure if the shockwave should cost 600 or 900 I think it should only cost 600, but I'm not one-hundred percent sure.
Thanks for taking the time to review my application.
