CHARACTER NAME: Aden Marks
RACE: Human
CLASS: Meister
ADVANCED CLASS:
AGE: 15
GENDER: Male
APPEARANCE: Aden has long, red hair, tied into a ponytail with a black hair tie. The ponytail reaches to the middle of his back, and the bangs hang loosely over his green-gray eyes. He is thin, only about 190 lb, and 5’ 9”, but his muscles are well defined and very lean. Aden wears a dark green tee shirt with an eagle emblem on the front, and back, gray-blue denim jeans, and a black sweat band on his right arm. His shoes are black tennis shoes, with a little bit of dark green on the sides. The wallet chain hanging from his belt is long enough to reach his knee, and is made of polished gold. He wears a large silver ring on his finger with a ruby inlay for a stone. He is very handsome, but has a scar on his right cheek and another going along his throat from an attack during his childhood.
CURRENT PARTNER(S): None
WEAPON FORM(S): None
WITCH ANIMA: None
MADNESS THEME: Aden is highly susceptible to madness. A childhood trauma caused his mind to snap, making him unpredictable, to an extent. When encountered with extreme excesses of madness, he tends to loose all sense of who heis, and seems to relish the moment, all the while shouting for someone to kill him. He dares anyone in the vicinity to try to reopen his throat, and tends to not differentiate between friend and foe until the flow of the madness stops.
ABILITIES:
Main Ability
Ability Name: Soul Force
Type: Active
Strength: Inept
Keywords:active, radius, wavelength, damage
Description: This character is able to project his soul, and force it around him at a radius of 12 ft. This knocks the opponent back about 6 ft, and causes an equally dispersed impact on the opponents body. This impact causes bruising and gives the character time to get a hit in on his opponent by staggering them for a 9 seconds.
Support Abilities
ABILITY NAME: Physical Conditioning
TYPE: Passive
STRENGTH: Weak
KEYWORDS: improved strength, improved speed
DESCRIPTION:
This character has undergone special training and conditioning to improve themselves physically, approaching the limits for "normal" human speed, strength, and agility.
ABILITY NAME: Novice Soul Purge
TYPE: Active
STRENGTH: Weak
KEYWORDS: wavelength, melee
DESCRIPTION:
The standard Soul Purge, as taught to Meisters by Shibusen, relies on a Meister's ability to "weaponize" their own soul wavelength as a momentary surge of energy. At this level Soul Purge is not especially potent, though it can lend an extra jolt to the character's punches -- or kicks, if you prefer -- to make them more damaging in combat. Whether fists, feet, or otherwise, Soul Purge requires physical contact in order to do damage.
EQUIPMENT: N/A
MINIONS: N/A
VEHICLES: N/A
LOYALTY: To himself, and to his deceased family.
KEY ATTRIBUTES:
Strengths: He has amazing tolerance for pain, and is proficient in the use of many different types of melee weapons
Weaknesses: Not the best strategist, and is very clumsy.
PERSONALITY: Aden is a very withdrawn person. He doesn't speak much, but when he does, people listen. He tends to shout when he speaks, and has a surprisingly strong voice for one who doesn't often socialize. However, he wants, mostly, to remove himself from the world. Its his way of dealing with the trauma of the Kishin attack that took his family from him. Aden loves to sit in his room, listening to Heavy Metal, and trying to contain the madness within. The music helps him to contain it, even if its only for a while. He's very determined, though, and won't give up on a situation if there's even the slightest chance of a win.
HISTORY: Aden Marks was born in Death City on May 18th. His parents were Joseph and Maria Marks, a human couple living quietly in the residential area. Neither one of them was a meister, or a weapon, but instead lived in the city to be safe from the horrors of the outside. They believed that Death City was the safest place to be in the entire world, and they were right.
Growing up, Aden lived in the shadow of the DWMA, and from the very beginning wanted to be a part of it. However, his parents were obsessed with his safety and so were opposed to him choosing such a dangerous profession. No matter what they did, though, Aden never wanted to be anything but a meister and his desire was only fueled by the friends that he had made in town, who also wished to join the Academy. He would spend every day sneaking around the Academy, trying to get a look at the famous meisters that would come and go. Once, he even witnessed a fight between a few students out in the front!
Once, while the Academy was having some kind of dance, something amazing happened! Reports said that there was an attack, and that a large explosion ripped through the City. Luckily, Aden and his family's house was far from where the explosions took place. But, his parents were perturbed by these events and moved them to New York, where they put Aden in martial arts classes. Aden loved the physical activity, and would continue to practice for the rest of his life. But Aden felt a sort of empty away from Death City, and away from the Academy. He swore that one day, he would go back, and he would be the best meister that the DWMA had ever seen!
Aden, age ten now, was walking home with his parents from a theater down town. It was late, and it was oddly quiet for a New York night. The cars sounded so distant, and there was no one to be seen on the street. Aden thought it was very creepy, but his parents assured him everything was alright. Thats when it happened. A large kishin-egg, about as tall as a lamppost, jumped down from a nearby apartment building. It was a large creature, with huge muscles, and a kitchen knife set into its hand. It had a small head, with gigantic red eyes set into the skull. It looked like its' skin was made of sandpaper, and its hair looked like a rag dolls'. The beast lunged toward Aden and his family, catching his father by the throat with its' usable hand, and cutting open his stomach with the other. The beast took the soul that had floated out of Joseph Marks' body, and devoured it be for his loved ones. When he was finished, the beast turned to Aden and his mother. The two ran as fast as they could, but the beast was faster than it looked, and eventually caught up with them. The Kishin-egg grabbed Maria Marks, and ripped her soul from her body, devouring it on the spot. Aden cowered in the ally way, hoping the creature would not find him, but to no avail. The beast pinned a terrified Aden to the ground, and slashed his throat. Aden lay there, still fully conscience, as the beast slashed at his face, leaving a cut across his right eye. The thing was just playing with him now, and just wanted to see Aden bleed out in front of it. This was its' biggest mistake. As the Kishin-egg was about to finish Aden off, figure came down, slicing of the Kishin-eggs' arm. The beast cried out in pain, as the figure finished it off with a mighty swing of what appeared to be some kind of curved sword.
Aden woke up in the DWMA infirmary. He was surprised that he was here, and that he wasn't dead. While Aden was recovering, he filled out an application to join the academy. However, ever since that day, Aden felt surges of sudden madness that threatened to over take him. He had to be restrained several times during his time at DWMA, and because of his silence, along with his outbursts, he has not been able to find a partner in all of the five years that he has been at the academy. But his dream still shines bright. He swears, even to this day, that he will be the best meister that DWMA has ever seen.
