Thread: Monster X Samurai [Character Profiles]

MarcoArkasian looks like a solid character. I do wonder how he'll interact with my character. Eto Roman - Sword of the Sacred Vale See more Age 120 Species Human Appearance Roman wears blue and white robes with thin white wraps that cover his abdomen and legs and clings to itself so it doesn't fall while he fights. His hair is long, illustrious and white paired with his large deep blue eyes and his broad shoulders and fit body presents a man that could only be imagined in myth and legend. His height makes ever having to look up into someone else's eyes a rarity, some door frames actually forcing him to pay attention and bring his head down or he'll slap his forehead on them. Despite his age, his skin is youthful and his facial structure more resembles a late-twenties male. Immediate Affiliation Hunter Gender Male Sexual Preference Women And those that appear to be so. Brief History Roman was recovered as a child from his German parents by agents of the Sacred Vale shortly after the turn of the 19th century. At this time, the Sacred Vale's agents operated largely in secrecy. Roman was dying from a rabid vampire attacking him. Foul blood swelled within his young body and without intervention, he would simply pass away. Elders from within the vale linked his soul with a mighty artifact and despite falling into a coma from the foul blood, Roman survived. This foul blood remained in his system despite this intervention. With training, the artifact and Roman grew together into the mighty weapon that the Sacred Vale is mostly known for today. An Agent of this vale that despite their continued secrecy, is well known among monsters and hunters alike. Personality There is an imposing air around Roman wherever he goes. Despite what he may be doing at the time, Roman can be difficult to approach as his eyes and physical appearance are so otherworldly. Honor-bound, dutiful, diligent, Roman is a business first and play later sort of man. He is prone to helping others and sacrificing himself when pushed to act before he gets time to think. He owes his life to the Sacred Vale and he won't forsake them or defenseless humans for any monster. Deep down, under the serious outer shell, he desires to tease and play with others to understand them and grow closer to them. He eventually starts to smile and warm up around those he works with. Even for those he considers to be his friends, Roman can be a romantic. He contemplates about how he'll spend his free time around them and perhaps what they might like to have as gifts. Despite his calm and stoic atmosphere, Roman isn't exactly an expert on the human condition or what humans want. PowersAbilitys Purified Vampire Blood courses through Roman's veins. Surviving a failed conversion has changed his body in a number of small ways. Roman no longer ages and his body requires significantly more severe injuries to slay him. Although he won't regenerate within the same fight that he was wounded, he can eventually restore any wound that isn't immediately fatal. Since he awoke from the coma, he's been capable of training beyond human limits and over a hundred years of finely tuning himself has granted him strength, speed and durability that no human could possibly possess. His bond to his weapon grants him numerous benefits as well. Weapons Futenbayashi Accommodations of the Wind God . Once a broken blade that lay dormant within the Sacred Vale now owes it's reconstruction to the fading human soul of Eto Roman. This weapon is directly responsible for his efficiency in slaying monsters as it allows him to forgo the more tedious rituals required to dispatch of monsters that cannot normally be slain by human weapons thanks to this weapon's relationship to a powerful deity. It takes the shape of a Katana with a sharp-wave pattern along the blade and a black and gold hilt and decoration. A white sheath decorated with light blue seals prevents the weapon from flaring up and causing problems in relation to Roman's emotions outside of combat. While unsheathed, winds gather and encircle the blade and loosely around Roman himself. This effect grows overtime and grants Roman more speed and slicing power along with the occasional ranged attacks by focusing these winds and then slashing towards his targets. As Roman's only weapon, he lacks alternative forms or a large library of types of attacks along with almost little to no defense of any kind. Despite being a powerful offense, Roman must rely entirely on how agile and perceptive he is to survive.
