”I am sorry my dear, perhaps I was merely too weak to prevent this” Race: Drakken Age: 98 Element(s): Earth Water Height: 7’0”
Bio: Praeth’s frantic rise to power is shrouded in a hailstorm of different tales and stories, making it nearly impossible to discern truth from lies. Only a small list of facts are known for sure. One, Praeth appeared upon the stage of powers a mere half a year ago with rumors of a ruthless thug. Two, his heritage is unknown as well as where he came from. Three, Praeth has recently stepped forward as the sole inheritor of a brutally massacred line of nobles named the Falkasius. He has taken position as the head of the extinct family, but he has yet to earn a title for himself beyond the simple name he has announced for himself; ‘Praeth’.
Praeth is overbearing from all aspects. He is compassionate, but ruthless; fair, but vicious; observant, but stoic. He is straightforward in anything he does and will always compensate to meet his opponent eye to eye in conflict. He has a grizzly and jaded aura about him despite his comparatively young age. Despite all his features, Praeth seems incapable of political deceit or strife, instead, always facing his enemies head on with brute force. Whatever accumulation of fighting strength Praeth has obtained, he is equally lacking in strategizing, as if it does not even concern him in the slightest, thus he is considerably vulnerable to underhanded tactics.
Equipment: Praeth’s whereabouts prior to his appearance in the Drakken capital is unknown, but he obviously had managed to attain equipment on par with the legends. Armor
Made some modifications to my Character Sheet since I had the time.
And no, I had not realized Alicornia's lieutenant's color was lilac until I had already completed mine. I was just matching the character's hair color ._.
Gravitational Magnitude: 0-20 m/s2 Akira can only manipulate gravity to an extent, but there are always limits to magnitude. The average gravitational pull on Earth, or the “standard gravity”, is 9.8 m/s2. The closer to 0 m/s2 the gravity becomes, the more force Akira must exert. At his current mastery, he can lower the gravity to close to 1 m/s2. On the other hand, increasing the gravity is somewhat easier as it can be more easily visualized as a pulling force. Akira can increase the gravity of the Earth up to 20 m/s2 (To set a point of reference, Jupiter has a gravity of 24 m/s2 and would be ridiculously difficult to move upon but would generally fail to cause stress fractures unless bone integrity is especially low.). He can also generate up to 5 m/s2 of gravity without an original source such as the earth.
tl;dr - Akira can manipulate gravity with a limit of 0 m/s2 to between Saturn and Jupiter’s gravities.
Quagmire- Akira increases the gravity in the area of his target, making the effort required to move a few times greater as 100 lbs turns into 200 lbs. Lifting limbs, maneuvers, acrobatics, etc. become a great deal more tiresome, if even possible.
Singularity- Akira creates a gravity well within his line of sight or spatial comprehension that has differing levels of strength depending on Akira. Maximum strength and area of effect at 5 m/s2 and 30 square meters (98 ft). This is Akira’s specialty as he can slightly manipulate his movements as well as the movements of others with singularities, causing his fighting style to be extremely unpredictable. His maximum range for utilizing a singularity is about 100 meters.
Suspension- Akira decreases the gravity to the point that an area maximum of 30 square meters maintains a strength of gravity significantly less than the moon’s. 100 lbs becomes 10 lbs.
-=[Weapons]=-
Constructed of heavy metals centered around a thick sheet of depleted uranium, it weighs close to 47 lbs at 4 feet. Worn on Akira's back with a black leather sheath.
2 Non-modified Chiappa Rhino 60s holstered on the insides of his suit jacket. Akira is skilled with the pistols but as he favors melee combat, his proficiency may be lacking compared to those who take the time to master firearms.
A back-up knife stowed on the inside of his right breast pocket of his jacket, above his two magnums.
A high versatility long range rifle. Generally Akira does not carry the weapon unless his mission specifies its applicability
-=[Personality]=-
Pleasant. Akira fits in with any crowd and is generally very agreeable. He sets the world of the Gryphes on one side, and his own world on the other. In his own world he is lazy and easygoing. He hangs around various communes without any goal beyond relaxing and enjoying himself. Even in his own world, he is belligerent if someone wrongs him, and he does not hesitate to punish those around him for their transgressions.
Where Akira is belligerent while off-duty, he is ruthless when it comes to matters regarding the Gryphes. His methods are often lacking in empathy to anything but his aligned interests, and apathy to morals takes a prominent role in a majority of Akira’s actions. When it comes to killing, Akira can be described as nothing other than wolfish and predatorial.
The one thing that is shielded from his cold countenance is that of his house. He will sacrifice every cell in his body to protect fellow Gryphes, thus he is often looked upon with a sort of ‘big bro’ attitude.
-=[History]=-
Since Akira was born, he was raised with endless nourishment and opportunity as the son of a prominent figure in House Gryphes. From the ripe age of 3, Akira was already geared towards a combative role in life. Growing up, he received rigorous training in both long-range combat as well as short-range combat, this meant proficiency in both ballistics as well as numerous melee weapons, thus his arsenal is diverse and extensive. As he developed, Akira’s ability to manipulate gravity became more and more prominent, thus he was often trained where he was forced to manipulate gravity to survive.
Carrying out jobs by the time he had turned 12, Akira’s proficiency to kill was nearly disturbing. His first kill barely irked him and he only became more professional as time passed. With each kill, he began to enjoy the hunt more and more and he became the leading contract killer in House Gryphes. As he quickly rose through the ranks and proved himself, he soon became the direct underling of the House’s leader. As his position rose, so did the responsibilities, and he had to learn not only how to better fight, but also how to manage finances and practice diplomacy.
Akira, if anything, always adapted quickly and took his responsibilities on in stride. From his current position, he serves with utmost dedication to the point that he must be told to go on break.
