Name[/u]: Raziel Locke
Age[/u]: 16
Race: Genetically Altered Human
Dimensions:
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 126Ibs
Physical Description[/u]: Raziel doesn't appear to be extraordinary by any means, his build is thin and lacking in bulk. While he lacks any real bulk, his muscles are present; albeit lean and slender (But well-toned to be sure). As far as facial features go, he's mildly effeminate, yet handsome enough to merit at least more than just a glance; with an alluringly pale complexion. In sharp contrast to his soft features the jet-black (With heavy tints of crimson dye here and there) hair on top of his head is messy and wild, naturally, so it remains silky to the touch. Adding to this are the two whitish horns jutting out from the sides of his head which sharply turn forward after a few inches. His ears are elongated and pointed, canine-esque, with a small touch of black fur on the back. His eyes are of a deep, entrancing blue with a vertically slitted iris much like a feline's. Next up is his tail which is that of a wolf's, which he is a little self-conscious of, covered in soft black fur. Lastly, the most interesting, and possibly infuriating for him, are the small black bat-like wings upon his back, which are far too small for flight. Most people think them just decoration.
Bio[/u]:
Raziel bears no tortured past as most tragic heroes. He was not abandoned as a babe by either choice or grizzly death of his parents, nor tormented in his childhood. He lost no lover in some horrific event that led him to the hellbent path of revenge. But his birth is more than a little unique... Compared to what one might think at the word "Birth", at least.
In a world where a vast majority of the population have lost the ability to naturally reproduce, Humanity carried on its cycle through science. In the beginning, they produced normal children through processes similar to In Vitro Fertilization, but as time ticked onward men in white lab coats felt their curiosity grow, as well as their audacity.
They began testing to create genetically altered Humans by mixing genetics with animals. "A fail-safe" they assured the population and governments, lest the way they went about it presently became obsolete as well. With such an outrageous concept as the loss of fertility, who was to say it wasn't possible? Few argued against the idea.
And so the first genetically "enhanced" Human was "Born", fathered by a Human, mothered by a lion. The child bore exceptional strengths and abilities thanks to its maternal figures genes. The scientists' curiosity was peaked.
More and more of these aberrations were cooked up and spat out, until finally one dared to try what few only thought of: Throwing other species into the "oven". This was the birth of Raziel, and it is unknown what was father and what was mother, only that he possessed the genetics of a Human, bull, a cat, a wolf, and a bat. The boy's capabilities and potentials were off the charts even by enhanced standards. With a frightening strength, a feline's grace and sight, sense of smell and hearing increased by wolf genes, and nifty wings; the product was jaw-dropping and awe inspiring.
No such similar experiments following were a success.
The Gods of both Light and Darkness were displeased with this abomination, but had sworn an Oath long ago to never more lay hands upon Humanity, such was their guilt for past deeds of rage. Instead they relocated him to an alternate world once he'd reached the age of sixteen. They cast him alone onto this foreign ground, alone and to fend for himself. This world was known as Etrah.
Mindset[/u]: Raziel is like a coin with two sides. He has no split personality or other mental disorder, he's just got an odd personality. At times he's rash, brash, crude, rude, and extremely full of himself when he should be far otherwise. At others he can be calm, collected, cool, and mature. The cocky rebellious edge of a teen usually remains consistent, unfortunately. He has a few quirks, one of them being the utter and complete hatred and loathing of crunchy foods being eaten by others. With a keen ear, the sound is absolutely maddening. Doubly so when said offender forgets to shut their mouth, in which scenario Raziel often offers to assist them in the courtesy himself. Another is a dislike for arrogance, despite being guilty of the same fault himself. Frequently.
Weapons and Abilities[/u]:
Twilit[/u]: What the Gods did not know was that by coming into direct contact with Raziel, he came into contact with their very essence, became immersed in it, and took more than a little of it for his own. Due to such he has become a little more than Human, yet not anywhere close enough to be called anything akin to "Godly".
He has learned the ability the "Shadow Step" in and out of Shadows, which he can either use to flee to the Shadow Realm, or appear out of another Shadow for a surprise attack. Or simple amusement. Repeated Shadow Stepping without rest (of at least 1-2 Posts) becomes very fatiguing, very quickly.
Another ability he gained from the taking of the Dark God's essence is that to bend and manipulate Shadows themselves. They become empowered with a touch of something akin to magic to give them tangible touch if so desired. A Shadow under Raziel's possession can be manipulated, moved, controlled, shaped, expanded, divided, etc. to suit nearly any fancy that falls upon his whim; such as creating weaponry, levitating platforms, giant spiky spheres of doom, etc. At the moment, he can only use this technique on his own Shadow.
The only power he has learned to properly use from the God of Light is a channeling of Holy energy. This can either be used to heal minor to moderate wounds, or inflict damage upon his foes. Normally the former is used and bathes his hand, chosen limb, body in a radiant aura. For the latter it can be channeled to a weapon or one of the aforementioned to empower it.
