John Wiseman (Brother)

Shane Wiseman is a Kemiya of the 39th Generation of Kemiyas. He is formerly known of the mountain but is currently disqualified and is leading a rebellion against Maurice Soult, the Lord of the Alchemic throne

**Distinguishing Marks:** Alchemic Symbol of bronze on back of left hand. Bronze Transmutation circles on both palms.

**Other Skills**: Masterful Marksman. Above Olympic level gymnast, reflexes, stamina, speed, balance. Extensive knowledge of history, alchemy and chemistry. Fluent in several languages (Dutch, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Czech, Danish, Bulgarian)

**Weaknesses**: Damaged hands

**Race**: Human/Alchemist

**Character Info**: Shane is a very quiet and calm person when not in battle but even in battle he maintains his calm and quiet demeanour. He will not harm those who do not cross him and is not psychotic. He is a very proud man, proud of who he is and his position in the ranks of Kemiya’s around the world. He prefers to kill quickly and not shed the blood of his opponents, hence his choice of weapon. He’s well educated even before his days of training. He’s very street smart and a well cultured man knowing most languages and almost all cultures of Europe. Ever since his fall from his position as Maurice's 'Mountain' he has become angry at him and how the game has changed. He seeks to regain his former glory and return the game to its glory as well through near any means required

**Theme Tune**: Butterflies and Hurricanes - Muse

He can manipulate a bronze pendent around his neck into almost any shape or form he desires as long as its not too big or small due to the alchemic symbol of bronze on the back of his left hand. This `Personal Piece` is considered unbreakable due to his power of control. He can maintain focus on a maximum of 2 different Bronze pieces by touch, or one Bronze piece though sight and make it near unbreakable by magical or physical means unless the touch or focus are broken, or if a force over 80 tons is applied. He can't make his bronze any mechanical weapon or any object that requires non bronze components, like a lighter.

**Bronze Creation:** He can also create bronze from solid materials only due to the transmutation circles on his palms but it doesn't last long and can be controlled by others with stronger powers than his own. Metals are the easiest forms of matter to transmutate and control.

**Soul Sensing/Feeling**: Shane can sense the souls of other people to tell if they are weak or strong. This unique ability allows a Kemiya to find his destined apprentice, one who has a dormant Kemiya ability. Shane can detect distortions within the soul, possessions, evil etc Shane has advanced his ability to feel the emotions of another person like an empathic and even see into a person's soul, much like a telepath can see into a person’s mind. He can literally enter the world of another person’s soul, shaped by their emotions. This ability takes time and is not suitable in a combat situation and is only possible with the recipients consent.

**Chaos Darkness:** Shane has the ability to give up control of his body to his inner darkness, a dark and entirely evil entity, separate from his soul to be granted a great increase in all aspects of physical ability and raw power. While in this form he fights as a berserker, can ignore all wounds and is temporarily immune from telepathy

**Black Coffin:** Black Coffin: Shane can use magic to create 4 metal poles in a square then give a Latin incantation to make 4 walls and a roof between the poles, where Shane and his opponent will lose their sight, smell, hearing and taste. They will still be able to  touch but Shane's sensing ability will allow him to tell where his enemy is located

**Other Powers:** Like all Kemiya’s Shane can use alchemy not only to create and manipulate Bronze but to break apart almost any solid material by severing the molecular bonds. Shane can also exhert his spiritual power in the area around him. Those near him will feel a great pressure on their bodies making it hard to breathe or even stand and given the sheer raw power Shane has he could incapacitate an average person. This is mainly used as an intimidation tactic as it is not painful, just uncomfortable. Shane can also put his spiritual power into his Bronze and use it to cut through solids and even liquids at distance and even break solid materials apart. When Shane touches any man made solid material he can instantly tell its elemental make up.

**Fighting Style:** Shane is very unique as a Kemiya considering his weapons mainly. He can block even personal piece strikes with his guns then follow up with a near point blank range shot. Early in his career he could finish fights within minutes due to his style of combat but as rumours spread Kemiya’s began to counter his own counter attacks and make better sport. Shane can fire at least 10 shots at once and can even charge up his weapon for more powerful shots at distance, capable of taking down small/medium sized buildings

**History:**

**In the Beginning**

Shane was born to a fisherman father and real estate saleswoman mother in The Hague with a brother John. Shane from a young age was fascinated with history, often reading history books from as young as 4 years old. He also had a sporting interest in Cricket and competitive fishing. He would sometimes compete with his father and brother when out in the sea. When Shane was 9, a worse than usual flood came unto the city. Shane’s parents were working on getting the water out while Shane and John were playing in the water.

**Saved More Than Once**

Shane stepped upstairs out of the water but a power cable from the street just outside snapped and landed in the water, shocking the water around the house, killing all people within a few hundred feet, including Shane’s parents. Shane came back downstairs but saw his family dead in the water. A rescue crew came by not long after and removed the danger and picked Shane up. A Kemiya named Daniel Masters was in town and spotted the boy in the boat with the rescue crew. He set it up so that he knocked the boat off using his metal alchemy skills and made it seem like he saved the boy. He took the boy and told him who he was and what Shane was destined to become. Daniel took Shane to Eindhoven to train him as a bronze alchemist. Daniel had never seen such potential from a trainee Kemiya before, despite having already trained 4 Kemiya’s to the Thestan Orean line of Kemiya’s. Shane only took 5 years to complete his training and wasted no time making an impact.

**Making a Name**

He travelled to France and ran through 4 Kemiya’s like they were nothing. His skill and power were at the time unmatched by any Kemiya. He travelled to Spain, Italy, then to Greece fighting another Kemiya on an oil tanker. Shane then travelled back north taking out another 3 Kemiya’s in Bulgaria, Hungry and Slovakia. He came to Germany when he was 19 and fought in the cold of night on the Berlin wall for over 3.5 hours, causing substantial damage to the wall.

**Surpassed?**

Shane was 30 in 2000 but he heard rumours out a young Gold Kemiya with spiritual power so huge it had to be suppressed by magical means. Shane sought the boy out but couldn’t find him. Shane decided to leave Europe and head south to Africa finding only 3 Kemiya’s, 2 of which were in South Africa, bringing his kill total to 12 kills. Shane then headed to India then to Tibet taking on 2 more Kemiya’s. Shane arrived in Japan in 2003 and found himself truly challenged for the first time in his life by 4 Kemiya’s, 2 in Japan then 2 in China. Shane returned to Europe once more arriving in England where he added 1 more Kemiya to his name. Shane left England after a few months then returned home in 2008 taking another Kemiya out, bringing his total to 20 kills

**Rising up and Falling Down**

He then moved unto New York, meeting Maurice Soult, becoming what Maurice referred to as a the mountain to pass, before any Kemiya can challenge Maurice himself. In Shane's time in America he has added 5 kills to his name. Matthew Archer challenged Shane for the 2nd position. Shane fought hard, harder than he had in a long time...but was eventually defeated and cast out by Maurice. Shane has since returned to Europe to reassert his dominance of the continent. Many Kemiya’s avoided him to avoid being killed but Shane found a challenge in a top 25 Kemiya, Maura Frost and killed her. Shane then returned to New York in 2011 after hearing about Maurice being put in a coma. Shane immediately challenged Matthew to a rematch and won, replacing him as number 2 and taking over of Maurice's company, The Kemiya’s Commodities Corporation. But Maurice returned after 3 months, sending Shane running for his life to Africa

**Shane's Rebellion**

Maurice had begun to denounce the killing Kemiya’s did and began to show them that killing ones opponents had little to no benefit. Shane disagreed and began an open rebellion against Maurice, calling all Kemiya’s who agreed with him to his side in early 2012. Shane found his destined apprentice named Tess Jones when she was 11. He was curious about how to increase a Kemiya's power through more physical than spiritual means. He left her in an institution with instructions to keep her hidden. Shane went to Italy and managed to create a Philosophers Stone in a small countryside down, with Musica and Sophia Curtis on his tail. After engaging Musica in Rome he went into hiding again. Shane did but he emerged again in 2015 when he attempted to kill Maurice due to the new power of a witches blood but was ultimately unsuccessful. Once Maurice learnt of this, Shane was deemed a non Kemiya and disqualified from the game. Shane's power wore off not long after. Shane's following grew until a powerful Kemiya named Francois Banki approached him with an offer to help destroy Maurice. Shane agreed. Shane and Francois gathered their forced and engaged in battle at the Metz Stadium. Shane's then came to realize what Francois goal was all along. Shane's forces were defeated but Shane escaped

**The Insurance Policy**

Shane was furious that his plan had failed, but he remembered Tess in Ohio. He tracked for Bernard Fitzroy down to Istanbul in 2017 after he arrested for drunken disorderly. Shane paid a guard to extract Bernard's blood and returned to Ohio, injecting it into Tess's body to make her a hybrid Kemiya. Unfortunately Maurice learnt of Tess and personally broke her out of the Institution. Shane was again furious, but he quickly realized it could be an opportunity. Shane himself even found his own destined apprentice, a woman named June Taylor in 2018 in Colorado. He decided to take her in and train her unlike he did with Tess. While he was training hisown apprentice Shane kidnapped Tess and awakened her Darkness but Maurice was able to control her and help her deal with her darkness, once again thwarting Shane's attempt to kill Maurice. Shane returned to June and continued her training, finishing up in mid 2022. Shane released his apprentice, telling her not to obey Maurice Soult. Shane found his support was waning as Maurice offered pardon's to those who followed Shane. Shane headed to the middle East and killed another Kemiya, when heard Roy Barragan was back. Shane managed to find him in the Balkan's region and engaged him in a brutal fight but Shane offered Barragan an allance

**Making his move**

Shane began to act uncharacteristic and did not hide his location anymore. Maurice ordered all Kemiya's in the world to find and destroy Shane Wseman. But throughout 2023, every Kemiya sent against Shane was killed. It wasn't until one Kemiya survived and reported to Maurice that Shane and Barragan had formed an alliance. Shane and Barragan came to Bonn, where he was confronted by Musica, Oliver Muller, Jenny Serov along with a half dozen other Kemiya's. A great battle took place as Shane took on Oliver and Musica. Shane put up a great fight until he finally managed to shoot Musica through his chest. Shane thought he had finally killed Musica, but Musica's darkness emerged and almost killed Shane and Barragan, forcing them both to retreat. Shane was furious at his cursed luck, and knew he needed powerful allies. He travelled to Mumbai to find Francois Banki
