jigen's characters - sone, needles, atherton, set

NAME: Sone
GENDER: Male
AGE: 18 or thereabouts
GENETICS: Literumi
FACTION: Meracai
OCCUPATION: Pride alpha, general public menace
GOALS/MOTIVATIONS: Be the strongest pride, find away to fully shed the age limit on Literumi power, learn the secrets of the mysterious West.
PERSONALITY: Loud and extroverted, somewhat lacking a verbal filter and has issues with keeping his thoughts/opinions/hands to himself. Prefers threats, intimidation, and psychic manipulation over brute force to get what he wants, though he has no problem with fighting (and less of a problem fighting dirty) if it comes down to it. Has an incredibly short attention span if not doing something he's interested in. Generally confident in his power, but still subtly cautious -- observes before engaging, squats instead of sitting, tries to keep everyone to his left side due to lack of peripheral vision in right eye. Hoarder, obsessive/addictive personality, fixates on strange ideas and is hard to convince otherwise once he decides something is true. Unusually structured for a Literumi. Considers his pride the chosen for being supposedly pureblooded.
BIO:
APPEARANCE: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] 6'7", 175-ish. Almost no body fat, long and lanky everything. Tends to slouch unless actively trying to intimidate someone, then stands at full height. Soles of feet are thick with scars and callouses from always being barefoot. Highly expressive without his mask, but always looks a bit manic no matter how he's feeling.
SKILLS: Literate. Practical understanding of electricity and magnetism including construction of crude batteries, electromagnets, and generator repair. Rudimentary understanding of neuroscience. Below average telekinetic abilities for an alpha, but exceptionally strong biolelectric output (has to eat a lot to make up for it). Surprisingly agile for his height, makes use of stride length and extra long reach when fighting. Adequate hunter/fisher.
INVENTORY/FAVORITE ITEMS: Yonsetsukon made from metal sign posts and homegrown electromagnets, bear keychains and other assorted junk (see ref sheet).

PERSONALITY: A hermit, lives on the outskirts of society and dislikes people in general, but still maintains a number of strong business relations.

True neutral, so long as you can pay, she'll just as readily provide lifesaving treatment as dispense deadly poisons -- what you choose to do with it outside her shop is none of her concern.

NAME: Atherton St. John, aka Johnny Apocalypse, Saint John the Destroyer, Saint Eoin/Iain/Ioannes/Ivo/Jovan/Jonas/Sion/Hanna, Yochanan the Golem
GENDER: Male
AGE: ???
GENETICS: Genefreak
FACTION: First Five
OCCUPATION: Nomad, pretending to be a Hunter
GOALS/MOTIVATIONS: ???
PERSONALITY: Constantly references living in a dystopian future, ex. eating rats and canned beans even when there's better food available, wearing the clothes he does for the sole reason of looking "appropriately post-apocalyptic." Fully capable of dodging almost any melee attack, but sometimes gets hit and then makes a big show of writhing around on the ground in agony. Sometimes pretends to be dead. Completely unreliable narrator, likely suffering from a severe form of dementia. Has a tendency to confuse reality with media from the pre-FS era, often can't remember very recent events or what year it is. Occasionally goes through periods of compromised (or is it improved?) lucidity during which he becomes legitimately paranoid and hostile.
BIO:
APPEARANCE: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] 5'10", 105-ish. Has a habit of standing completely still at times, making him look fake or lifeless. Almost no one alive knows what he looks like under the mask for sure.
SKILLS: Total body control. Vastly increased speed and agility, heightened reflexes, increased lifespan. Chromium skeletal structure. Resistant to most disease and extreme temperatures. Quick-draw sharpshooter, uses a pair of 2012 .45 Mamba revolver, but can handle most firearms well.
INVENTORY/FAVORITE ITEMS: Revolvers.

*The Mamba series was an extremely limited production, particularly the .45 revolver. Designed to be a fast-shooting recreational firearm, it's triggerpull was feather-light to the point of being virtually unusable. As it had no built-in safety, there was an inordinately high number of unintentional firings and resulting injuries which caused the model to be discontinued.
