Name: Charles Claymore (human)
Age: 26
Appearance:
Background:
Charles was born in Italy where he lived until he was five, as child Charles was proclaimed a virtuoso with the violin, his father a talented musician raised his son with an incredible amount of pride, his mother had died during child birth. Charles father was a strange man often disappearing for days at a time, but he would always come back within a week and cared for his son desperately.
On one fateful night when he was five Charles woke up to hear a terrifying roar, confused Charles ran to his fathers room there he witnessed his father in battle with a snake like hollow, the hollow quickly noticed Charles due to his large amount of spiritual energy. The creature dashed at Charles only to be stopped by his father who was wielding a large jet-black broad sword. Charles confused and scared screamed in terror of the hollow, the hollow used the distraction to impale Charles father. The creature went to attack Charles next but when he went to strike a field of energy rose in front of Charles then burst into flames and enveloped the hollow. Charles turned to see an elderly man with his palm outstretched, he recognized the man as his grandfather a man he had seen once before in his life.
The next 15 years of Charles life he spent with his Grandfather Alfred Claymore, a strict and cold man who required constant diligence. Charles spent his days training to fight with a variety of weapons everyday consisted of home schooling in weapons, combat, math, literature, art, music, and etiquette. On his tenth birthday Charles woke up at the crack of dawn showered made his bed and waited for inspection just like any other day. When his Grandfather entered Charles bowed and moved out of the way to show that everything was in order, Alfred though broke tradition and told him to sit explaining that his family had a secret, the first born child of every generation was granted the ability of manipulation. Over the next several hours Alfred told Charles the long history of his family all of whom could manipulate fields though the effect varied from person to person. Alfred continued on and explained the world of the Shinigami and hollows he then took his grandson to a large abandoned factory and explained that there was a hollow inside. Alfred than locked his grandson in the building telling him he would draw forth his power or die.
The hollow took no time at all to find Charles and quickly attacked him, at first Charles attempted to fight him off with a metal pole from the ground but it failed, just before the killing blow landed Charles summoned his aura impaling the monster on a glowing blue spike. After leaving the stadium Alfred explained to Charles that he is dying, and had roughly two years left. Over the next three years Alfred trained Charles to use his manipulation and taught him the tenants of power, when his grandfather died Charles inherited a small fortune and continued to train everyday. Now 26 years old Charles leaves his ancestral home in Italy, and heads for Karakura town following rumors of hollows and shinigami hoping to find the answers to what exactly his powers are.
Personality:
Charles is friendly and personable when outside of battle; he quickly makes friends and will fight to the death for those friends but not out of any compassion or caring for them. Charles believes in a strict set of rules which were passed down to him from his Grandfather; 1. Those with power are blessed with the ability to protect that which they love. 2. Those with power are cursed with the obligation to destroy those who would do the world harm. 3. Those with power must train, body, mind and soul.
Charles keeps his true personality hidden behind a façade of friendly smiles; in reality he is a solemn person with much guilt on his conscious. Charles when alone is very melancholy and his only outlet is his violin, however a third personality of Charles comes out in battle the sadness and the friendliness disappear replaced by a cool and calm personality which seems almost inhuman, Charles will kill his opponents in battle without hesitation and without mercy, however he hates the actual act of fighting and will try to make battles short and painless.
Likes: Violin, steak, and tranquility.
Dislikes: Ice cream and beaches.
Fear: to be powerless to protect what he cares about.
Powers: Charles can manipulate fields of energy in order to use his abilities, he draws this energy from the world around similar to the way a Quincy would. Each of his abilities relies on manipulating a separate field of energy. (more powers will develop as he does)
Exterior aura, Charles can control a field around him stretching it to use as shield (in it’s stretched form it is translucent), the strength of this shield varies depending on the physical condition of Charles, Charles as part of the manipulation ability can also compress this field into a variety of weapons all of which look like solidified blue energy with electric waves running through them.
Interior aura, Charles can activate an inner aura, which makes his eye’s glow a bright blue, this increases his strength, agility, perception, and healing rate.
Roleplay Sample:
Charles walked slowly through the alley his footsteps echoing along the walls, his eyes glowing blue, with each step Charles took a breath listening closely to the sound of the hollow that was hunting him, it charged out from behind a corner only to be blown back by an invisible wall. Charles spun charging after his enemy focusing his aura into a lance he rammed it through the creature’s gut. He stopped a quickly finished the battle switching his lance into a sword and cutting the creatures head off.
Charles sat in the restaurant his eyes closed one hand absent-mindedly swinging to the tune of the concert. He sat alone at a table for two in front of him was a beautiful sirloin and a glass of 1945 Chateau Mouton-Rothschild Jeroboam. A man walked over to the table, he is built like a thug and has a nasty looking scar on his face but his warm smile shows him to be a nice man “is everything ok Mr. Claymore.” Charles looked up at Stephen the two had met five years ago at night in the back of a club the man had been mugging a couple. Charles had hospitalized him breaking two ribs; now the man was a vice-captain of the police force and a model officer. Charles looked up “of course, join me” Charles gestured to the chair across from him, Stephen sat down placing a file in front of him. “So what’s on your mind?” Stephen says as he sits, Charles looked at him smiling “Nothing really, do you have the files”. “Of course, but I have to ask what’s with the interest in brutal murders” replies Stephen, Charles laughs and with a chuckle says “I’m hunting monsters” Stephen bursts out laughing, “The only man who qualifies as a monster here is you I still remember you breaking me like a twig five years ago”. Charles finished off the rest of his steak and wine (a few bites and a sip). Charles picks up the file “This is every unsolved murder case from Karakura town in the last three years?” Stephen says “of course, I was very careful and kept clear from detection just like you told me”. Charles gave the man an envelope, “If I don’t return in five years I want you to call the number on this paper, it’s my accountant tell him that I have decided to shift my assets he’ll understand”. Stephen turned to Charles “will you come back?” Charles looked the man in the eyes “No” and walked out the restaurant his future in front of him.
