## Vuori

**Vuori the Weasel** (pronounced "voo-WAR-ee") is an assassin that serves the Earth Clan of Temblor. He is the older brother of Halendi the Weasel.

## Physical Description

A lean-muscled weasel who stands a good deal over three feet tall, Vuori has a somewhat short muzzle with a pointed triangular nose, somewhat small, pointed ears, and a medium-length, fairly slender tail.

His fur is primarily golden brown in color, with an Indian yellow muzzle, throat, chest, and stomach. His hair, which is usually tied back in a sort of high ponytail, is black in color, and his eyes are jonquil in color.

## History

### <untitled>

Vuori was often in charge of supervising Suolo during his first missions, until the hedgeidna reached his 18th birthday.

## Abilities

As an assassin, Vuori excels in the realm of stealth and swift, deadly attacks, able to dispatch unwary foes with little to no hassle. His agility and surprisingly high level of physical power allow him to easily thrive in a duel against a single opponent, but he tends to suffer against multiple foes, due to his inherent lack of durability. He wields a pair of daggers as his primary weapons, useful for his assassination efforts, and also for actual fights. Despite his supposed lack of defined musculature, his physical strength is considerably higher than it looks, primarily due to his extensive training as an assassin; he can lift up to 400 lbs. without assistance.

Dueling and assassination is not his only forte; his naturally tactical mind as well as his capabilities for stealth allow him to function as a sort of spy and observer, similar to a scout, although with a much deadlier combat ability to back him up. He also doesn't make it readily obvious that he *is* an assassin, often posing as a soldier or even a scout in order to let down the guard of high priority targets. His cunning nature also makes him fairly adept at deceiving and manipulating his targets and opponents as well.

Vuori is a fairly adept geokinetic, and primarily uses melee-range, low to mid-tier offensive techniques of the Darkness Element, although he does employ a fair amount of utility-based techniques as well; however, he has little in the way of usable ranged abilities apart from simple, low-power techniques. Being a weasel, he has very keen senses of both hearing and sight, and his sharp teeth can make for effective natural weapons; he is also very limber and flexible.

### Strengths/Resistances

Vuori is relatively resistant to the Elements of Earth and Electricity (his Earth resistance is somewhat higher, however). He is quite fast, and can easily outpace slower foes and evade their attacks. He's also more than capable of dueling a single opponent due to his high speed and surprisingly high strength.

### Weaknesses

Vuori is weak to the Elements of Wind and Water. His defenses aren't anything special, therefore he mostly relies on his agility to try and evade potentially devastating attacks, and to survive against multiple opponents.

## Personality

Vuori has a tendency to come off as cold and apathetic, but in reality, he cares deeply about the Earth Clan, and they (especially his sister) are his top priority. Stoic and stubborn, it is difficult to change Vuori's mind once it's set on something, and he can become rather aggressive if pushed heavily.
