Species: Appears Human
Gender: Male.
Height: 6’11” (210.82cm)
Age: He isn’t sure.
Appearance
Boris is built like a brick shithouse. All ripped mounds of muscle. He has baby-blue eyes and is bald with little to no facial hair, a strong jawline, though his features lean more towards the infant-face side.
He wears basic gray trousers, well-worn black boots and a cream, collarless pullover short-sleeve shirt with three buttons at the V-cut neck. The three buttons are never fastened, as Boris’s massive muscular structure makes the shirt a tight fit and the buttons don’t reach. He couldn’t find a larger size to wear, but often considers acquiring a new top that fits better.
Backstory
Childhood: Boris was raised in an underprivileged home with four brothers by his stepdad and birth mother. Unfortunately, Boris suffered a tremendous amount of physical abuse from his stepdad; regular beatings and torturous acts that ultimately left Boris with brain damage. He therefore isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed.
Teens: He was roughly thirteen when he ran away from home and embarked on a life of petty crime in an effort to survive. His crimes consisted mostly of thievery in the ways of food, though he wouldn't let the opportunity to steal items of greater value if the opportunity presented itself. He was also responsible for killing several of the people he stole from before eating certain members of their person, bones and all, which is how he gained the reputation as The Bonecrusher before he reached adulthood.
Adulthood: In his mid-twenties, while on run from the law, he entered a town called Waise, where he joined forces with a group of adventurers and monster hunters to take down the resident evil. While in this town, Boris also acquired a weapon called 'Revel Yell'. Revel Yell was a gift to Boris, presented to him by his real father, a mischievous God by the name of Revel. At the time, however, Revel didn’t directly tell Boris that he was his father, but he left behind a few clues by which Boris might figure it out for himself one day. One of these clues was Revel Yell itself. The weapon was crafted by Revel from the bone of a dragon that Boris once slew, upon which Revel also placed a curious enchantment and a plaque with a personalized engraved message….
Unfortunately, Boris never learnt to read more than a few basic words.
Since Then
After leaving the town of Waise and influenced by the few good friends he made there, Boris made a decision to change his ways. He vowed to forsake his life of crime and become an adventurer, endeavouring to seek out and help those in danger, to free the oppressed from their bondage. Of course, every so often, he still can’t help but steal a thing or two for the sake of his grumbling tummy.
Melee Weapons
Revel yell is, as seen in the image, the bone of a dragon that measures over one and half meters. It is enchanted by a God, the same God being Boris’s father. The enchantment itself is activated when Boris, and only Boris, uses it against any entity that Boris believes in his heart to be an enemy. With each strike against the enemy, the bone will endow Boris with added strength, agility, speed, and increase his resistance to taking damage. The process is gradual though, each connecting strike adding a small portion of each ability. However, the more passionate Boris feels towards his enemy, the faster and more efficient the effects of the enchantment will be. In addition, and every now and then, usually when making a pivotal blow, Revel Yell will also glow a vibrant cyan hue and release the intimidating roar of a dragon’s battle cry.
Adverse effects of Revel Yell: Unfortunately, Boris will suffer fatigue after being substantially effected by Revel Yell’s enchantment. The more effected he becomes by the enchantment, the more fatigued he will be once the fight has ended. In extreme cases, once a battle has ceased, Boris will helplessly collapse and sleep for hours.
Boris carries Revel Yell on his back in the same way someone might sheath a sword.
Range Weapons
Kettie is a slingshot, named and made by young boy whose parents Boris recently helped evade a locate tyrant in their village. In fact, Boris obtained Kettie only two days before entering Trios, and hasn’t had a chance to use it yet. Nevertheless, as luck usually has an uncanny way of befalling Boris, Kettie is also an enchanted weapon; blessed by an old witch, the same being the grandmother to the boy who crafted the slingshot.
Kettie’s Enchantment: According the boy that made it, the magic of Kettie is shared with any projectile placed in its leather pouch, be it a stone, a marble, or anything else Boris may care to use as ammunition. This shared magical effect is essential of course, since each object launched from Kettie has the power to crack open rocks, put holes in the hardest of metal, or even pass right through a man without damaging the projectile itself. Even more than this, Kettie is apparently unbreakable. “No matter how hard you pull it, you’ll never snap that rubber.” The boy told him, “You’ll never break that wood. And that’s a promise!” Naturally, Boris chuckled at the thought of it, thinking it was just a young boy’s imagination running wild.
Kettie is kept in the belt at the back of Boris’s trouser pants.
Abilities
Aside from Boris’s physical prowess, which exceeds that of any ordinary man, he is the son of a God and human woman. Technically speaking he is a demigod with powers he himself, on the most part, isn’t even aware of. That’s not to suggest he isn’t aware that something strange is going on with his person, there have been many occurrences in his life that have led him to realize that there is more to his capacity than he is able to understand. On account of his less than average intelligence, it may take Boris the rest of his life to realize the potential of powers he holds.
He is learning.
Other Items
A well-worn brown Backpack that he carries many everyday useful items and current food supply. A knife with a 6 inch blade that he carries in his trouser pocket. In his other pocket is a leather bound notebook with a pencil attached by a string – Boris is mostly illiterate so can’t write for shit, but sometimes he’ll take some time out from his adventurous life to draw simple pictures of the things he has seen.
Items carried in backpack: - A box of jumbo-size matches. The box is kept in a waterproof container.
- A small bottle of unopened Kraken spiced Rum that he received from a dunk man he helped out from a spot trouble two years earlier. Boris isn’t much of a drinker.
- A magnifying lens approximately 4 inches in diameter.
- A ten meter length of rope with an extendable grappling hook attached to one end.
- A softcover book titles “A dummies guide to killing monster” which he has obviously never read. But maybe he’ll learn how to do that one day. He found that book in a library and thought the cover was pretty so, against his better judgement, he stole it.
- Another book titled “The adventured of Flinny Fin fin, and the Secret of Bostad’s Treasure”. Again, he has no idea what the book is about, but received it as partial payment for one of the many good deeds he did for people over the years.
- A tin of assorted hard candy. Half the tin is empty, since Boris does enjoy sucking on candy now and then.
- Food: A stick of bread. A small jar of blueberry jam. A jar of pickled cucumbers. A liter canteen of water.
- A brown cloth pouch filled with glass marbles, which was also given to him by the boy who made his slingshot. The marbles are normal enough and were given to him because, in the words of the boy; “Just in case there aren't enough rocks”.
- A black leather coin pouch containing a variety of different coins and several valuable gems. Boris is about as good at math as he is at reading, so he doesn't really know how much money he actually has.
- A medical kit. He has no idea how to use it, but it has some bandages and a few other items, one of which is a bottle of ointment labelled: “For the Love of God Don’t Drink This”.
Reason for Entering Trios
No specific reason really, aside - and as mentioned earlier - Boris is an adventure and seeks out new people to help, but that isn’t even the specific reason he decided to visit Trios. The main reason he arrives in trios is due to the fact that he thought it would be fun to take a ride in a hot air balloon….
