Name: Abel Ashira
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Appearance:
Abel is about six feet tall with a lean build, and skin so pale that isn't almost sickly. He has long, pale blonde, hair that he likes to wear in a variety of styles, depending on his mood. His eyes are a mysterious, deep blue that almost exactly match with his soul. He has long, graceful, limbs as well as fingers, and his facial features are much more pointed than they are round. His signature outfit, or battle uniform as he likes to call it, consists of his favorite long black coat, a pair of dark purple skinny jeans, shin high black boots with laces down the front and a cleverly hidden zipper so he doesn't have to deal with the laces, and a provocative dark gray tee-shirt that has the phrase 'Tie Me Up' written on it. Both ears are pierced and he is always wearing various colored butterfly studs in them. A pair of wire rim glasses sit on his face, though people don't know if it's for show or because he actually needs them.
Race/Species: Human with a Strong SoulSoul Colour & Traits: Steel Blue. Wrapping around his soul is what appears to be chains.
Personal Weapon: Abel uses dual chains, which measure from ground to nose if one was to hold them up to Abel. They are attached to brown leather shackles that he wears around each wrist. Attached at the end of each chain is a metal dart that's about three inches long. When he isn't using them, the chains wrap around his arms with the darts tucked safely into a sheath like pouch on each shackle. Or if he's feeling extra frisky, he'll wrap the chains around someone else. He can use either one or both of the chains, and they can easily double as a pseudo hookshot in a pinch.
Abilities: Strong Soul, as a human with a Strong Soul, Abel's soul is worth 99 normal human souls. This has it's drawbacks of course, but it also has it's strengths. It has made him a much stronger person, and his mind is so sound that people will it difficult to mess with it. His soul's wavelengths are also very powerful, though in matching with his personality they're also extremely stubborn. Most people will find it hard to match their wavelengths to his.
Strength: Due to wielding, and wearing, heavy chains all the time, Abel possesses a lot of upper body strength. He's been known to use this to do incredibly feats before, such as hanging from his arms for very long periods of time, keeping something much larger than him trapped with his chains, or just simply punching like a truck.
Movement: Abel has almost inhuman amounts of grace, balance, and coordination, you won't find him crashing into things or tripping over his own feet. Though he swings around dual chain whips all the time, he rarely hits anything other than what he wants to hit, than includes himself and any allies he may have. His near perfect balance allows him to walk around on small ledges without having to worry about falling off. You can see his grace in just about everything he does. It adds a little extra flair to what otherwise could be quite a boring task.
Parkour/Free-Running: What is only added onto by his skill in movement, Abel is also trained in the art of parkour and free-running. He is able to climb up buildings, cliffs, ledges, etc, with relative easy. He finds it much easier than most to run across rooftops or other dangerous areas to run. He isn't good enough at it to add in tricks and flips, but he's good enough to run around assassin's style.
Pain: Abel is borderline masochistic, while he doesn't get off on pain, he accepts it and can withstand more of it than the average person. This can also be considered a weakness because he also hides his pain from other people, thinking he can handle blood loss and damage just as much as the pain itself.
Weaknesses: Legally Blind, nobody actually knows if Abel needs glasses or not. Because of his unnaturally good grace and balance, he doesn't seem to be any different if he takes them off. But he is in fact legally blind, meaning that when he takes off his glasses, all he can see are blurry shapes. Making it impossible to engage in long range combat, and making short range stuff a lot more difficult. If people were to watch him battle without his glasses on, it would make it very obviously that he actually needed them. Going without his glasses for too long gives him a headache and makes his eyes hurt.
Pervert: Abel is a very provocative person. He makes his interest in both men and women very well known. Though you won't find him sneaking into locker rooms to catch a peek, if you show it, even by accident, he'll enjoy the show. Sometimes he'll use his chains to wrap somebody and tease them, but unless they're of age you won't find him doing anything more than that. His perverted attitude tends to scare people away from him, and he finds it difficult to find allies let alone friends.
Pain: As stated above, his understanding of pain is both a strength and a weakness. Because of his ability to withstand more pain than the average person, he hides his injuries, thinking he can withstand blood loss and damage as much as the pain itself. He would horribly wrong of course.
Defense: Abel's weapons are made for attacking, not defending, giving him very little in the way of defensive moves. He's stuck with just avoiding and dodging attacks, or simply taking them. The chains can be used to hook an enemy or wrap up their weapon, but that's about it for defensive abilities.
Brief History: Abel was born in a very small village, one that was peaceful and usually free from witches, Keishan, and the like. He lived a boring, but peaceful, life up until the time that he was eight years old. That was when a passerby who happened to be able to see souls informed the village that Abel's soul was much stronger than a normal persons. Fearing both him, and his safety, the village elders locked him up in the basement of one of their houses, chaining him to the wall 'for his own good'. He was locked up, the only human contact he got was them feeding him once a day. The damp conditions of the basement weren't good on the chains though, and it only took a few years for them to rust enough for a now thirteen year old to pull them off the wall. He escaped in the night, not bothering to remove the chains any further, cause he really couldn't.
A bigger, smarter, nearby village found him in the morning and assumed from his appearance that he was some kind of escaped slave. They took him in and helped him recover from his ordeal. But were quickly turned off by his near obsession with chains and his disregard for personal space. Two traits which would only grow as he got older. He only spent six months in the village before moving on.
Slowly as the years went by he developed his fighting style and reputation for hunting down whoever and whatever needed taken out. Until finally about a year ago, he found himself in Death City. And shortly after that, he was approached and asked to join AID. He was reluctant and first, but eventually ended up accepting.
Allocated Contract: Abel is best at hunting things down and killing them, not so much at keeping things alive. So he's usually sent out on Keishan or Witch hunts. His current job is a Witch hunt in France. Not much is known about this Witch, but her animal is supposedly something poisonous. Though he won't be actively seeking help, if somebody wants to join him, he wouldn't be opposed.
