May I join? I hope my character is okay...
-Name: Anthony .....wait, what was his last name?
-Nickname: Goblin, Wolfkin, Nightbeast, many other degrading names and fight names.
-Gender: Male
-Age: 28
-Sexuality: Heterosexual
-Personality:
Anthony has a two-sided personality. One he refers to as human and the other as the Beast.
His human side of his personality is one of general confusion. He's glad to have lived through the past 20 years, but he still lives in fear. The world has become something he is in constant fear of, and so he's overly cautious of those around him, especially because of what he looks like. He usually acts on instinct, which can lead to some dangerous situations, or get him out of dangerous situations. Those who know him enough to become friends find him generally friendly, but distant. This is mainly because he also fears himself.
This comes in the form of his 'feral' Beast personality. Due to his past and how he was treated, in certain situations, the most common being when he's starved of meat. When triggered, his human personality is replaced with that more similar to an animal, and it quickly shows. He stops caring about the others around him, friend or enemy, and begins to prioritize getting out alive or hunting down fresh meat. He doesn't care who he hurts or kills to reach his goal, but he reverts back to his more human mindset once he does.
-Appearance:
(Made the side view of his face just a little too elongated, and as the notes on his four-legged stance state, I messed up the proportions on it.)
His skin color is tanned, but patchy due to how much it had to peel before it did tan. His hair is short, rough, and a light brown color. It doesn't grow out very well, which is why he keeps it short. His eyes are almost black in color and cannot dilate correctly, making him practically blind in the daytime. He's thin and tall, standing 6'7" with lithe muscles. His skewed proportions make it easier and more comfortable for him to maneuver on all fours, but it's more common to see him standing on two legs despite the discomfort. This is more to avoid receiving more strange looks than he already gets, as he usually walks on all fours when he feels he is alone.
The clothing he almost always wears is pictured and includes a pair of red, brown, and black sneakers, arm-length black fingerless gloves, tattered jean shorts, and a dirty cloth used as a blindfold. His shoulders, abdomen, and back have metal plating implanted in his body, as well as one of his shins. The plating is stainless steel that was painted black, but most of the paint as chipped off and the steel is showing signs of wear and a couple speckles of rust. The necklace was his father's, and ends in something carved from bone resembling a hook.
Other clothing includes various T-shirts, a leather trench coat, a couple of 'cowboy' hats to help aid him with seeing in the day, and an outfit consisting of goggles, sweatpants, and a baggy sweater of sandstorms.
-Background:
Anthony was 8 when the Meltdown, as it was later called, occurred. When his father heard of it happening, he quickly rushed his family to a bunker for such scenarios. While they initially were well off compared to many others around them, it wasn't long until the bad luck hitting the world hit them. Anthony was soon the only living child, his younger siblings dying from sicknesses.
Then his father heard about the rogue groups and gangs popping up, he began to get back to his work. As a scientist versed in genetics and biology, he thought he could possibly create an organism to protect what was left of family. However, with a lot of the wildlife already mutated into more dangerous versions of the creatures, it was hard to catch good subjects, but it made it much easier for his father's work to progress.
Yet, even with the clear signs of the dangers in store, Anthony's father was shocked when one of his experiments escaped, attacking and killing Anthony's mother out of fear. This made Anthony's father go off the deep end and spiral into insanity. He switched to finding human subjects, and when those became hard to find, he didn't hesitate to use his remaining son.
Using the upmost care, his father began to combine radiation, gene manipulation, and gene splicing on his son. This was Anthony's life for the next ten years until he was nothing but a monstrous pet whose only instinct was to kill and devour threats...his father included. Every day that passed made Anthony feel less and less human both in mind and body. Eventually, he escaped and killed his father in blind rage, quickly devouring his body after being deprived of food for so long.
Anthony remained in such a state until some rogues found him and captured him. They marketed him off as the "Outback's Feral Child", a name that quickly lead to him being bought. He then began his three year 'tour' around Australia as a sort of attraction to entertain people by being pitted against mutated wildlife. Despite the injuries he received on an almost daily basis and the fact he constantly had to fight off his 'Beast' personality, he was actually well-fed. People loved him, but only because of his violent ways. To make sure he'd live to fight for many more years, he was slowly fit with metal plating. These were incredibly painful, and often lead to him not being fed at all due to the cost.
Eventually, he escaped once more on the day when he was supposed to receive his other metal shin piece, thankfully only killing two people in the process. It took over two years to find his home, which had been ransacked and removed and anything worth trading. This was when he found his father's necklace, buried under degrading papers.
He left soon after, and has been wandering ever since. Those who know him from his shows avoid him or end up trying to catch him for profit. His main goal currently is to simply find a way to live without having to suffer from his beastly second half, or at least not be so easily feared. He wants to prove that he is human on the inside, but he feels that can't be done until he can stop his beast half.
-Skills: Anthony may not be a good fighter in the typical sense, but he's a great predator and hunter. He's learned where it's best to strike about any creature, and his bite force is enough to shatter some bones. He's also immune to the toxins in raw meats, as well as many weaker toxins carried by mutated creatures. He has wonderful night vision at the cost of light-sensitive eyes, which is made up with other heightened senses, such as hearing and smell. The
-Other:
Anthony doesn't know how to wield any sort of weapon, and his writing and reading capabilities are only those of a 10 year old. However, he doesn't have any issues with speech, and has picked up on words that he may not be able to read or write on paper. While he fears himself, he doesn't try to dodge telling people why he is the way he is. He feels like people should know what he is instead of hiding it from them. It also lets him know who he can trust.
I feel like I'm trying too hard with this length of a form..... |
