PERSONALITY,
leviathan, often better known as lev, is typically the one who most often just goes with the flow. rarely does he stand up for himself, or at least not verbally, but he is not corrupted or misguided by the thoughts and opinions of others either. with a rather harsh mind of self-criticism, he tends to bring himself down, with or without anyone's help. somewhat chivalrous, but ultimately shyly polite, he is also very prideful, in the way that he hates backing down from a challenge, or asking for help when he desperately needs it. still, with a rather self-conscious view of himself, he is not one to claim to be some kind of goddess or deity, but instead is one who stays out of everyone else's way, unless otherwise threatened, told, or motivated to do so. more of the backdrop in a play than the main character, some may consider him shy, and thus, he only has a select few close people he will associate himself with.
lev acts considerably different depending on the people he's with, as most people do. with total strangers, he will become reclusive and anti-social--almost hostile to all whom he is unfamiliar with. despite his none-too-intimidating appearance, lev is actually quite a brutal and harsh character. he won't physically do anything to anything unless he feels the need to, but he may often throw the occasional death glare, or perhaps just the simple murmur to a comrade, or even, if his mood is sour enough, a rude gesture. still, cursing and vulgar moves occur very rarely from him, mainly because of the fact that he either holds it in, or says things to himself, and only himself. yet on that note, his mind is moderately independent; but his actions are not. depending on what the task at hand may be, he may be able to do it, or he might need a bit of moral support from allies. either way, if there is something strong enough to move his mind and heart, then he will earn a strong determination to act as he needs to for long as he needs to.
consequently, when he's with people he is familiar with, and are close with, lev becomes a whole different person. he is a bit more sociable, although his voice is rarely heard unless he feels the need to say something, and he becomes a bit, well... stranger, in a sense. he'll laugh and play around, and the stoic air he typically has around him is broken. he becomes more childish, perhaps even a bit playful, and eager for some kind of adventure. of course, introduce a new person, and you will get a strange moment of silence. so yes, you could say he's socially awkward, in the sense that he refuses to befriend many on his own. even then, though, as one who keeps to himself, leviathan's emotions are never truly revealed to anyone, not even those closest to him, as he realizes he needs to carry his burdens on his own.
in general, lev can often be considered to be an emotionless, apathetic person. sarcasm is his verbal form of defense, and it is difficult to get any sort of rise out of him, aside from a fake smile or laugh, which is what he does often to those he does not know. meaning yes, he can deceive people, he can fool people with his emotions, which he rarely genuinely shows. He holds secrets inside, and keeps them captive inside, bearing no intentions of letting them out. one such being that he can actually be a bit judgmental, and even stereotypical. if he hears something about you or someone else, he will likely believe it until he sees otherwise. he's the type who can pull an icy smile; you might think you're friends with him, yet at the same time he may be looking down upon you with contempt.
a huge procrastinator, lev likes to go about things at his own pace. when given a task, he inadvertently takes forever to do it, especially when he doesn't want to, or when the person asking for it continuously bothers him. he is also somewhat of a perfectionist, although only when it comes to certain things, and a lot of people accuse him of being obsessive-compulsive. of course, if it is something urgent, then there is no doubt he can be a reliable person. hardly the blabbermouth, he is honest (unless lies are needed) and trustworthy, and many might often find themselves pouring their souls out unto him, because really, one of his best abilities is listening. giving advice, however, is another story.
if one knew the way lev acted without actually knowing his personally, he can easily come off as an intimidating person, if not in appearance. he is often known to be rather violent, but not in the way you think. for the most part, he goes well with the phrase "all bark and no bite," but when provoked, or if he sees it is necessary, he will pounce. make fun of him all you wish, and he won't likely respond, or maybe just bark at you, but go too far and mess with his comrades, there will be consequences to face.
as previously stated, lev is like a dormant bomb. he doesn't let many emotions show, and is typically keeping many things in. that said, it also means he is one to leave others alone unless he needs them, or vice versa. he dislikes when people who are asking a favour try to butter or flatter him up, and would prefer that they get straight to the point, so he can determine whether if he wants to help or not. though in doing so, lev may be looking down on you with spite, he actually holds a very patient mind, but as with all things, it depends on what he's being patient about. more guided by his mind than his heart, trying to strike an arrow through his heart won't do much for your case but annoy him, and because of this, many have come to believe he might not even have a soul.
still, if you can manage to acquire the trust and friendship of lev, then he will become a loyal companion. never would he betray you, even in his own greatest hour of need, and he will stand by you and your opinions. however, that does not mean there are no limits. should your opinions go against him own beliefs and desires, he won't follow you any longer, and it really all goes down to how much he trusts and knows you. if you mess with one of his allies, friends, or comrades, then you're messing with him just the same. he hates to see the ones he cares for get picked on or attacked, and in this way he has a bit of a self-sacrificing mindset; willing to throw himself in the way of danger just to save others.
not one to beat around the bush, he can be quite the honest person, whom speaks his mind, albeit only when asked to. at least you know he's not going to lie to you. although it depends on what you're asking. even so, lev doesn't really need to tell lies anyways. why? because he is very vague with whatever he says, thus, making him a tad bit difficult to understand at times. he often answers questions with obvious things, or even retort at others with more questions, usually confusing people more on the matter. in short, he has a tendency to dodge or avoid personal things, and simply likes to mess with the minds of others.
tying in with his self-critical attitude, it seems that this is only for lev himself, because he is actually pretty lenient and care-free with many things. when he's dealing with anyone else, he could care less about what you yourself does. of course, if it's something that goes against him and whatnot, he won't allow it, but otherwise, he doesn't care. intelligent, and almost like a camera on constant record, lev doesn't forget things easily. if you humiliate him or a friend, he holds a grudge until he repays you. lie to him, and he'll make sure you regret it. start a fight with him, and he'll do just about whatever it takes to bring you down and to your place. in what might even be the most flashy way possible.
APPEARANCE,
an extremely pale complexion, with an extremely childlike appearance; one might mistake lev to be some kind of deceased child back from the grave, only less frightening in aspect. he stands at an average five feet, four inches, and has an abominably thin structure, weighing just over a hundred pounds. despite being labeled a twili, the young adult actually has a rather non-intimidating appearance, and could easily be mistaken for a fairy or some other sort or race. with a semi-rounded, innocent-looking appeal, his appearance in general is rather androgynous, and thanks to the fact that his clothing isn't the least bit revealing, and perhaps a bit feminine depending on your point of view, he can often be assumed to be of the opposite gender.
his eyes are of a rather charming icy blue; soft, and yes, innocent-like. a tad rounded, they reveal false emotions, while containing secret ones hidden behind. if he wanted to, it would be easy to deceive most people with his young looks, although he is actually just a bit older than one might normally assume. on his head is a neat mop of silver-white hair, that which also has a light tint of ice blue at the edges. his bangs part to his left for the most part, yet somehow still manage to stay out of his eyes. fairly short, and reaching down to about the base of his neck, it shapes to his face just so slightly.
in regards to choice of clothing, lev's is rather... unique. it appears to have many layers upon layers, and it seems like it would be impossible to figure out, and appears loose and flowing, for the most part. in short, it would be best to not attempt to describe it, but instead go with what the picture shows. just know that despite the fact that the fabric is thin, it will take some amount of slicing, or deep cutting to be able to get through the multitude of layers to reach the flesh, with the exception of his arms, with just a long arm warmer on each and flyaway sleeves, and his legs, which only have a couple of layers.
one of the most significant articles of his clothing would be the strange, thin scarf around his arms and shoulder, that which bear a scaly pattern on it, and actually feels like scales as well. in a sense, you could call this minuscule piece of 'armor', but it's mainly for decoration, one might say. yet another piece would be the feathered 'scarf' that he also wears, although it appears to be more of an accessory that hangs from the back of one shoulder at the most, and trailing almost to the ground. on top of that, there is a mask, resembling the face of a dragon, made of a light silver metal.
on that note, lev's shadow beast form is that of a quadruped, of an unknown species at that. some say it is a mix of a canine and a dragon, and most just leave it at that. bearing a black, thick coat of fur, to uphold his status as a 'shadow beast'. about two feet tall, and perhaps five feet from snout to tailtip, probably a little less than half of his length is comprised of his long tail. on each slender leg, he bears a set of four claws, not retractable, and his ankles bear an electric blue ring of fur. black and said blue are all the colors that his form is created with.
running down his spine, and creating a sort of 'crown' of fur upon his head, and also running along his tail, there is a shaggy line of fur much bristlier and conspicuous than that of his actual fur, matching the same hue of that electric blue. the ears upon his head are also quite long, like a rabbit's, and bear a ring like on his legs. on his muzzle, there is also a line of blue that runs up between his his sharp, keen eyes, that lead up to a pair of small horns.
WEAPONS,
» DRAGONSBANE,
a silver longsword, with a light ice blue accent running down the center. on said accent, there also appears to be a simple, ornate pattern of swirls inside. it has a dark gray hilt, with runic, electric blue engravings embedded to it, as well as a decorative little stone dangling from the end of it. it has a simplistic shape, like any typical blade (see picture for reference).
ITEMS,
» NO ITEMS,
i can never think of any.
ABILITIES,
» DRAGONHEART I,
a fairly simple ability, even if the name might make you think of something else. for the duration of one attack, meaning one post, lev's arms can shift to that of what some might say a dragon's (reference). tough scales form over his arms, and his fingers grow and sharpen to taloned claws, all of which is of the typical ice blue in color. obviously, the scales also prove to be pretty hardy, and can even serve to be a good defensive resort. any other part of him is unaffected by all of this, and thus, there you have your vulnerable spots. after his attack, his arms revert back to their original state, and lose said scales for defense, with a one post cooldown. any damage possibly inflicted on his arms, if any, while in this state is transferred, naturally.
» OPEN MAGIC SLOT,
RACIAL ABILITIES,
» SHADOW MASTERS,
the twili are inextricably bound to the magic of shadows and twilight. this affords them a great many powers, but this does come at a cost: in direct sunlight or moonlight, the twili take some very tough damage (if they ever find themselves fighting in the sun or moonlight, that damage is two levels per turn: so get out of the friggin’ sun!). with this great weakness, however, comes two very great powers:
HISTORY,
leviathan pristis was born in an average upbringing; what one could call a middle class family. he had incredibly strict parents, who wanted naught but for lev to become successful in life, even if it cost him his happiness. in his early childhood, one would assume they were a happy, caring family, and the lad would often pick fights with his one older sibling. it was the typical routine. yet that gradually began to vanish over the years.
his elder sibling, once burdened with their parents' desires and demands, turned up becoming a 'failure' in their eyes. he was smart, yes, but he was also a slacker, rebellious, and typically going against their wishes. thus, the burden was thrusted to lev. life became tougher, stricter; one mistake and the unspeakable would happen. or shall we assume. lev soon became frightened of failure, and whilst he never put his heart into what he tried, he still managed to stay a good child in the eyes of his parents.
still, there is a bit of resentment held within him towards his parents as he grew older, gradually beginning to hate even their very voices shouting at him. still, he endured, and in truth, though they had seemingly drifted apart, lev came to a sort of mutual understanding with his older sibling. it was a silent, yet reliable bond, and it was really all lev had to go on. they never spoke to each other, and even when they did, it was awkward to do so. yet somehow, it felt as if the two could only depend on each other in the end.
pretty soon, though, the eldest flew the coop, lev eager to follow some years after. for the time being, life continued as it was, with him putting up with his parents, up until the point he turned eighteen. he left, but as it would seem, his parents apparently still wanted to follow after him. for the time being, lev allowed and ignored the fact, and visited his parents every so often as well, for despite all the hardships they put him through (and are still putting him through) he still loved them. after all, they were his parents, and they would be his only parents.
eventually, however, the stress took its toll on his emotions, and he eventually let his feeling loose one day, directly at his parents, and they, too, got angry, and started yelling back at him, slicing through him with those harsh, cold words they said to his sibling. in the past, lev guessed that he would have been happy to hear those words. it meant he was free from their expectations. yet hearing this now, after all his work, and all he'd done just to keep them happy, it hurt like no other--angered him either.
it was an increasingly bad time to encounter him, for right then and there he could have ripped his parents to pieces, just to end the screaming war. in the end, he was unable to fully stand up against his oppressors, and found himself running, unsure of when he would ever decide to come back again.
