Raigor Tremble
No known aliases
Appearance: Tremble is not a terribly muscular fellow, not really standing out of the crowd with that. He is notably short though, only reaching 165cm in length, but his weight remains rather proportionate so he is not pronouncedly lanky or large. As for his facial features, Tremble takes care to keep his face clear of his slow growing facial hair as well as trying his best to keep his hair short. Longer would only get in the way of business. His jaw is more rounded than blocky, not really adding masculinity to his face, but anything above that is easily recognisable as male. His eyes are grey and he largely prefers clothing he can easily blend into the crowd in.
Personality: Tremble is a social fellow who does not mind people making fun of his length. If somebody shows no other interest in his presence in the conversation other than making those jokes though, he is quick to lose interest in the person. He tries to learn all he can about other people and has a frightening memory for detail, often having to hold back on telling the other person they remember what they are being told or that they learnt it from someone else. These features tend to bring him towards densely populated areas. Beyond remembering information about people though, his mind seems to have difficulty committing things to memory. Thus he has a habit of making imaginary people in his mind to which he can attach these new facts. When it comes to his work ethic, a job is never left unfinished. Anything he has promised to do will be concluded one way or the other.
History: All things considered, one would not really consider to see Raigor Tremble himself, the famous hunter of elemental mages, on the side against the Faceless Ones. The man who rarely thought twice about a given job, as long as there was money involved. The man around whom only his two accomplices could genuinely know they are safe. Even now, the Sanctuaries could not place their full trust into the man, but one does not simply say no when somebody of his calibre walks in and requests to join the forces against Mevolent. And despite the man having been quite the bother to the Sanctuary in the past, he was given the chance. Expertise in hunting elemental mages was a skill that was less likely to get utilised in this war, given how elementals were generally more stable folk, but his Tectomancy could prove useful in other ways.
Relations: Tremble's closest allies have to be Dolph and Santviento, the two mages he used to do work with before this whole apocalypse thing began brewing. Dolph is a Shield Former Adept while Santviento is an Elemental mage. As for enemies, he undoubtedly has many but he couldn't name them if he tried, excluding a few marks that got away from him. But we do not talk about those.
Capabilities: Tremble is an Adept of the school of Tectomancy, an art that focuses on causing shockwaves in solid matter, drawing inspiration from collisions between tectonic plates. His direction in the art has him focus on the shattering of the target matter, useful in breaking down fortifications of stone and digging out pesky tunnelers as long as they don't slip to softer ground. Given enough time, he could shatter enough of the supporting structures in a building to causer it to collapse, but he would need to move from one place to another physically. Due to lack of practice, the handling of shockwaves already inside the matter is a challenge to him.
Equipment:
- A small silver cross on a necklace, infused with Dolph's magic. Mostly of sentimental value while his partner is not around, but a rather handy tool against most immediate elemental attacks when he is.
- An ordinary shortsword. There is nothing inherently special about the weapon and Tremble does prefer not using it. It is mostly carried for show and 'just-in-case' situations.
- Baker Infantry Rifle, calibre of .75. As a flintlock weapon it is not the fastest one to load out there, but it is what he grew accustomed to using among the years. If someone were to hand him a percussion cap weapon, he would most definitely try it over the old hunk of junk, but he has not quite managed to get his hands on one himself. Importing from the West takes time.
- Gauntlet with hooks on the knuckles. For both being defensive and being effective in combat up close. An unconventional weapon to be sure.
Other: He was born in Western England, near the border of Wales. I would recommend against being somebody he has hunted in the past. That would only spur IC drama.
