Silk Road: Constantinople Character Design - Ken aka 'Eyepatch' (Ryan Beattie - 1701246)

Name: Ken aka ‘Eyepatch’

Age: 59

Build: Slim, well built, 5”10

Appearance: Ken wears large sturdy black boots, black
protective trousers, a white undershirt with a black overcoat as well as a hood
with a cloak to hide his face and weapons and an eyepatch to cover his scarred
eye.

Backstory: Ken was born and raised on the West Side of the
River in Constantinople. He began to develop his powers at an early age,
roughly between the age of 11 and 13. His family and friends, as well as
strangers in the district, were not happy with the development of his powers  and the presence of a gifted among them, and
try to get a hold of a disenchanter for him as they believed that his powers
were evil and would bring bad luck upon them and the district. Ken did not
believe this and escaped from those who would try and take away his gift. Ken started
training himself to learn how to control his abilities and by the age of 19 was
a master of his powers. Ken would try to hide his powers though as he knew that
if people were aware of his abilities he would be hunted. That was until Ken
defeated one of the monsters from the Neo-Labyrinth saving someone in the
process. After realising he was capable of defeating the monsters that would
escape from the labyrinth Ken began hunting them to increase his abilities further,
as well as make some money on the side, selling himself as a monster hunter (a
title he invented). After many years of fighting monsters and hiring himself out
he is a well-known figure in the district and is known as someone who is capable
of fighting the monsters. While he still keeps to himself for fear of being witch
hunted, he can be found if you know the right people. Even though he will be
hunted for his abilities Ken still cares about the people in his district and wants
to help them making his ultimate goal to defeat the minotaur that plagues the
Neo-Labyrinth and help bring stability to his district.

Gift: Ken was born with the ability to enhance his physical
attributes making himself faster and stronger. It takes a great amount of
concentration and he can only enhance the muscles to a certain degree, if he
tries to push the muscles too far, he runs the risk of destroying the muscles
entirely or at the very least causing major permanent damage. He can push
muscles past the breaking point by taking strength from other parts of his body
and channelling the energy and strength from those muscles into other ones,
however this means that he will lose the use of that muscle until the energy is
restored and if left too long could severely damage the muscle. He calls this
move ‘Overdrive’. He must be very careful when using it as it can cause very
serious damage to himself and could destroy him if he is not careful.

Involvement: Ken is an NPC that will help guide the player
through the Neo-Labyrinth as well as send them on multiple quests. He does this
to help the player become stronger so that they can better defeat the monsters
that they will encounter in the future as well as to help his business and
district. The player will be given a share of the profits from completing the
quests, things such as; items, money, experience points, skills etc. Ken will also
play a part in the story for the Constantinople area as his goal is to defeat
the minotaur, the main threat of the Neo-Labyrinth, to help bring peace to his
district allowing him to help his community.
