Thread: The Tower - Fantasy Western/Gunkata - Evil Disruptors needed

Character Name Eric Simmons Gender Male Age 28 Appearance Standing at just over six feet three inches, Eric is a tall lanky man who, honestly, doesn't look like much of a threat. Most think him to be weak physically, as his specialty lies in spell casting, but this could not be further from the truth. He works out regularly, thinking that it's best to be in shape both mentally and physically as the next figure head of the Tower. It isn't often that you see his eyes , but those who do catch a glimpse of impossibly gold eyes, seemingly devoid of emotion. His eyes are usually close, and his broad grin gives the feeling that he's usually in a good mood. At one point in time, his hair was brown in color, but has long since changed into a lighter shade of green, a side effect from practicing magic. He is a tall man, standing at around six foot four, but he has a lanky build. Eric usually walks around in his little area of the tower wearing a white button up shirt tucked into a pair of black slacks, a pair of polished black shoes, and two, brown colored leather bands around his hands. On the rare occasions when he leaves his area, he pulls on a vest, a black tie, and a black long coat. He is usually never seen by another without his trademark black fedora. he might not care much about other people, or what they think of him, but he is meticulous about his own appearance. To him, it's important to look good while he does whatever he does. Personality Ever calm, and always calculating, he sits back and observes everything from afar. As he waits, he plots, figures, and eventually, enacts plans to hamper his enemies and to come one step closer to becoming the next master of the tower. Ambition is his primary drive in life, the force that rules all of his decisions. Whatever it takes to become the next ruler is an option. It isn't a matter of if, but when he will defeat the other Disruptors and ascend to the top. People are mere pawns to him, to be moved, ordered, and sacrificed when the time is right. So long as they maintain some level of use in his eyes, he will keep them around. Maintaining use is no easy feat. No one, not Predators or even other Disruptors are safe from becoming another part of his plan. Disposal is often a messy and complicated process, things that he leaves up to other people rather than doing himself, as he hates dirtying his own hands. There appear to be no traces of kindness or compassion within him anywhere. Those few who are 'fortunate' enough to rest eyes upon him often see a smile settled upon his face, and a pair of eyes that appear to be looking down on you. When he speaks, he has an even tone. He is not one to waste words, often getting straight to the point when he speaks. Words are always carefully chosen so that he can convey whichever point it is that he would like to convey with a tone fitting for the occasion. Eric is the kind of person who means exactly what he says. His threats are never empty, and his promises are always fulfilled. The one biggest drawback of his personality, however, is his superiority complex. He sees himself as better than everyone else on the planet, and will do whatever it takes to eliminate someone who appears to be better than himself. FactionRanking The TowerDisruptor Equipment The only form of equipment that you will ever see Eric walking around with, when and if you ever see him walking around, is an intricately carved stick that is just slightly taller than he is. This staff, called the Axis Mundi, is painted black, with arcane imbued steel tucked into the groves on it. This staff, which is mostly straight save for the design on the ends, is commonly used as a staff for casting, but also, it's used as a bo staff for offensive and defensive purposes. He has becomes used to using Mundi, as he calls it, to create seals on the ground from which he can trigger a spell. Never one to do anything without a back up plan, he also carries a knife on his person. it's usually tucked into a small sheath strapped around his left wrist. He uses a small, clear, orb shape stone to communicate with his predator. The stone is blue in tint with a small, red dot in the center. That dot is the magic that makes communication possible. AbilitiesSkillsStyles By looking at him, one wouldn't expect much in combat. Eric shows just how he earned his title as a Disruptor by commanding very powerful techniques. Primarily, his discipline lies in manipulating the elements. A bit of Earth to bind a foe, a bit of fire to cause some destruction, some ice to slow pursuers, a bit of wind to shield himself or make him move faster, or even a spark of electricity to jolt the opponent just enough to render them unable to do anything other than bow before him. Cruelty is the only thing one can expect from him in battle. Though he hates to dirty his own hands, he will not hesitate to end the life of any who dare to stand before him with a naked weapon. Though he has not mastered his skills, he has developed them to the point where he knows what works and what doesn't. He has had more than ample time to polish his skills, and has gone so far as to even try things out on himself to see how it would affect another. Both his eye and hair color have changed because of this. His abilities are not just limited to the arcane, Eric sports some impressive physical prowess with his staff, using it to defend himself if confronted with an enemy 'lucky' enough to stand before him. Physically, he is not as strong or fast as a Predator would be without augmenting his own abilities, but he does posses great skill with his staff and is able to use it much like a bo staff, incorporating some expertly timed spins, flairs, and agile movements to fend off attackers and counter blows coming at him.
