Charles is a tall, muscular and bulky individual. He wear a black short sleeved shirt on occasion and black jeans that have rips from overuse at the bottom of each pants leg and at the knees. He wears wood sandals that have a heel strap and toe straps, to make sure the sandals stay on. He wears thick, leathery gloves wherever he goes, only taking them off when he has to shower, or use the rest room or has to do some work that requires him to take the gloves off. He has very long, black hair he keeps in a pony tail, which stretches to the middle of his back. He has several scars on his arms from fights he’s been in, each with a story of its own.



Attacks(OC's may not start with canon moves outside of flight or afterimage or basic ki attacks -i.e. normal ki blasts- If they know these techniques you must list them, however they are not affected by the cooldown. Provide a brief description of each attack as well please) Minimum cooldown requirement: 2 posts

[/li][li] Flight- Charles has learned that one can levitate in the air and fly at tremendous speeds with sufficient-enough training. He’s learned to also fight in the air, after having practiced with his Dad and master, Edward.
cooldown:

[/li][li] Ki Blast- Edward taught Charles how to form the basic energy blast from his own energy. Charles is only capable of firing the grenade-like bombs at his targets, currently.
cooldown: 2 post cooldown

[/li][li] Ki Sense- Charles has obtained the ability to sense out the energy of other persons. However, he can only sense a person’s energy from, at most, within a radius of 100 yards around him.
cooldown: 2 post cooldown

[/li][li] Raven Claws- Charles forms 10 energy blasts above him. He melds them into the shape of ravens and directs them at the target or targets. Each raven will attempt to latch on with their talons. Once in place, Charles will ignite them like C4, in attempt to damage and/or disorient his opponent or opponents. Detonation is equivalent to regular energy blasts.

Charles can also use this skill as a means of reconnaissance. Each raven is linked to Charles by a thread that remains attached to Charles until it either reaches a range that goes pass 300 yards in diameter or they are detonated. He does not actually gain sight through the eyes of the raven, but they are connected to him, so if one of them sees the target or targets, it will send a pulse to Charles, to alert him. It does not give him the number of targets in sight or what they are like. They only alert him that the target or targets are near by. The ravens only stay around for 3 posts, without detonation, then fade away without detonation, as they are only made of the energy that Charles provides at the moment of creation.
cooldown: 5 post cooldown after all ravens are detonated or fade away.

[/li][li] Power Charge and dismissal- Charles has learned to power up and suppress his energy for different purposes. When he charges up, his energy flares up in orange, flame-like torrent, increasing his power level, strength, speed, and endurance to their fullest. When he decreases it, his power level, speed, strength, and endurance also decrease. (Signified by a total percentage. For example: 20(80% or .8)= 16. The number applies to all 3 stats. If the stats differ from each other, then each stat will be labeled and the power level will be labeled.)
cooldown: 2 post cooldown


Starting Power Level: 300
Stats divide 60 points into the categories below
Strength 20
Speed 20
Endurance 20

p.e.r.s.o.n.a [expanded]

Charles was raised to be a smart, protective friend. He was trained by his father with the students in Edward's West City dojo and taught the mechanical sciences by his mother and by his teachers in one of West City's many schools. Due to these interactions, Charles became popular with a lot of people. He enjoys social interactions with people, but doesn't like it when someone confuses the hell out of him, brings drama to him, or is desperate. He takes pride in himself, so he tries to always make sure that he has some sort of income being generated so he's not broke and can get food, so he knows he can get stronger and remain healthy.

Whenever strategy in anything is brought up, he likes to debate strategic manners in order to better himself. One of his favorite games is Othello, a game where you must counter a person's position and make it your own. When the board is full, the person with the greatest number wins. It takes a great mind in order to strike a position that hurts the most and provides the greatest benefits in anything, and Othello provides a great example as such. That is how Charles views his fights and isn't afraid to make use of such methods, but as long as it doesn't go against his sense of honor.

the r.e.a.s.o.n.

At one point of his life as a soldier in the West City security force, a criminal said that Charles was 'One of Death's birds, marking each man and woman with the cursed mark of an early grave.'

Charles grew up in the densely populated West City, the center of the greatest technological developments of the world. Charles's parents wanted him to learn in the schools that they had offered in the city and had him go to school at the age of 4, to Pre-K. He was adored by some of his teachers for surprising intellect he had, which made some of the other kids jealous. Every now and again, one of the kids would come up to him and try to bully him, but surprisingly, Charles would actually issue them a challenge in a game and talk with them as they played, each kid liking Charles.

The game he would usually play them in was Othello, a game he was introduced to by his parents. After their work, they would come home, pay the bills and set up the Othello board at the dinner table. They would play the game at the table as they ate and talked with Charles watching, to get him interested in talking with people as they played the game. By doing so, not only would they teach him how to get along with people, but they would also teach Charles to take advantage of opportunities that come up to him.

When Charles entered the Kindergarten grade at the age of 6, he was learning Martial Arts with his Dad and was a popular kid among his grade. His Mom, Meleny, would make sure Charles kept up with his scholastic studies and homework. After he'd finish work, Meleny would play Othello with him, so that he was kept thinking about his decisions and also be able to have fun. He was, at first, a bit of a wimp. However, after beginning to train with Edward, he quickly toughened up.

Charles's studies were kept up in both Martial Arts and school. He would enter various Martial Arts tournaments that would be held around West City and in some of the other cities. They would win some tournaments and lose others, but after each tournament, Charles, Edward, and Edward's students would find themselves back at the dojo, training time and time again with increasing weights on them so they could develop speed and muscle mass.

Charles found himself to becoming one of the 'masters' at the dojo by the time he was 20. He, along with the few other masters, would be taught some of Edward's special techniques, like forming energy into blasts, using energy to levitate and fighting in mid air, and powering up and decreasing their energy.

2 years later, Charles decided to join the Military force that helped maintain security in the city. The odd thing was that he and his unit would be sent out to put down an uprising often because the police would have an issue with getting access. Charles would take advantage of his talents that he learned at his father's dojo and strike the usurpers with nothing but his bare hands and his energy. Because he would do this, though, he would always end up coming out with a scar on him from a stray bullet that made its way towards him. However, what he managed to pull off was that he'd make sure only his arms were scarred.

After 3 years of being on the force, Charles developed and mastered his Raven Claws technique. He took advantage of the technique by sending the birds into a base, to deceive any on lookers inside. He would occasionally just send the birds to various different locations inside and outside buildings and wait until he got a pulse from each of them, telling him that something is near by. Once the majority sent pulses to him, he would ignite them and have his unit move in and take out the usurpers.

After another 3 years, Charles decided to leave the force and continue teaching at his Father's dojo. Charles was focused on becoming stronger and, in his eyes, the force didn't provide that. All it did was have him go in and end trouble before it got too out of hand. He felt that training at the dojo would help him out. He made himself at home in a rather expensive and large apartment building, so he could train when he got home. Charles would take a look at the technologies developing at the time and see if his mom and dad had made the newspapers, magazines, or the web, which they occasionally did.

t.e.a.s.e.r

Age Year: 791. Location: West City Market District

The streets of the Market District were bustling as usual. People rushing in and out of the place with groceries, Police directing traffic, and people walking and chatting about numerous things. Charles was a bit obvious in the crowd with his usual black get up and sandals clanking against the concrete. He had a navy blue back pack on that had only one pocket, which require stretching of the fabric to open. A small box with what sounded like chips shook slightly with each step.

Charles was looking for the super market, so he could restock on spices, fruits, vegetables, and other things. He was having some of his pals over the apartment to hang out as usual on weekend.

Charles had headphones in his ears, as he listened to a popular band called Slaves to the Audio. They were a favorite band of his that made really powerful, metallic notes that synced up with the singer's rough, but pleasing voice. A subtle smile had formed on Charles's face as he listened. Someone with a malicious aura seemed to have been following him, though.

The ex-soldier had been avoiding the person for a while, to see if the person had been following something else. However, as he got closer and closer, the more the more the malicious energy pursued. Charles entered the supermarket, which seemed to have halted the person following him. He went through the aisles quickly, gathering several bags into his hands.

Charles exited the market with his things fifteen minutes later, finding that the person had not left. The person's energy seemed to have continued sending the malicious intent off. Charles decided that he would confront this person before he went back to his place. Charles moved across the street and headed into and alley that had a dead end. Several garbage cans were near by, three of them empty. He flipped each garbage can over and set his groceries on the ground. He then pulled the bag with the box in it off his back and emptied its contents onto the garbage can in the middle. He opened the box and made sure that each piece was there, which they were.

He set up 2 black-sided pieces and 2 white-sided pieces in a 2x2 box in the center. By the time he finished, the person with the malicious aura appeared. It was a young woman with blonde hair dressed in a light-blue ball park cap, a baggy grey sweatshirt, grey jeans, and old, worn tennis shoes. She had a knife in her possession that looked rusted and dull from use.

She walked up to Charles, who was sitting on the chair furthest from the woman. He took his headphones off his ears and rested them over his neck, the music quietly playing from them. He spoke not a word to the woman, who seemed to be focused on the odd set up. She asked, "What the hell is this? Huh?!"

"It's called Othello. Care to play a game with me Miss," Charles asked the lady, as he gestured at the board.

"I know it's a fucking game! What I wanna know is why you've set this damn thing up," the woman shouted, as she gestured at everything, including Charles, with her knife.

Charles quietly responded, "Isn't it obvious? I want to play this game with you, as a gamble. You can name your conditions and I will name mine. Also, you may want to keep your voice down or else we may get some unwanted attention."

The woman quickly put the knife away and looked around, cursing as she did. No one seemed to notice them in the alley when she yelled, so she turned back around, with the knife in her hand once more. Charles made no moves at all, as he kept a powerful, submissive look on her. It made the woman feel uncomfortable, so she decided to take a seat on the garbage can closest to her. He smiled and stated, "Alright, lets play! Do you need to know the rules or no?"

She shook her head, as she muttered, "No..."

She paused for a moment, as she brought her eyes up to his. She asked, "How about we name those conditions, for who wins this match? If I win, I get your groceries and you say nothing to the police about this."

"Of course. Now, if I win, I walk away with my food I bought at the market and I take you on a date later tonight," Charles named without hesitation. The girl rose an eye brow in confusion.

She asked, her confusion matching her tone, "Uh... Come again?"

"If I win, I take my groceries and take out on a date later tonight. Nothing else," Charles stated once more, his smile remaining on his face as he crossed his arms. The woman blushed a little as she glared at him. The ex-soldier held out his hand to shake on the deal. The woman looked at the scars on the man's arms and then back at his face. His expression hadn't changed at all, his eyes with their commanding power with and his odd smile.

The woman grabbed his hand and shook on it. He released after the shake, so she didn't think that he would go back on his word, as did the thief. He held his hand, open palmed, to his side and formed an energy blast in his hand. The thief was startled and nearly fell off the garbage can, questioning what Charles had formed and thinking that he was playing mind tricks on her. He stated, "This is pretty close to a grenade's level of strength. I can hit you before you even leave this alleyway if you try to steal my things, so lets be honest with each other, alright?"

Charles dismissed the energy and gestured towards the thief to make the first move. The woman got back on her feet and sat down again, excited at the display her opponent showed her. She grabbed a white piece and placed it on the board. The game was on.

Later that night

Charles was at his place again, cleaning up from the party he had with his friends. The bathroom door was closed, with the shower on. He called out, "Hey, everything good in there?"

"Yeah, yeah! Everything's fine in here!"

The water shut off, with wet footsteps on the ceramic rung into Charles's ears. He was dressed in his usual black attire and sandals, with his hair in the ponytail. He had won the little gamble earlier with the woman, who had been complaining that Charles must have cheated somehow, but Charles had continually stated that she made one bad move and it just led downhill from there.

The woman walked out, dressed in a black tank top and her jeans. Her sweatshirt was in the middle of being washed and her knife rested on the counter in the kitchen. Charles asked her, "Guess you're all set now?"

"I still think you cheated, you bastard," she responded with disgust.

The ex-soldier responded, "I'll take that as a yes. Come on, we're heading to that diner that just opened on the corner of 3rd and Jameson. The reviews said that the food there was pretty damn good."

Charles opened the door for her and he gestured her out the door. She groaned in annoyance and walked ahead. They made their way out the door and Charles locked up his door.
