Jaraal

Jaraal is a powerful warrior of the Lynel people, set out to find a worthy challenge out amongst the other races of the realm.

## **Appearance**

As a Lynel, Jaraal has a beastly, centaur-like body. His lower half is that of a horse, with long, muscular legs that allow him to run for great distances without tiring. His upper body is akin to a man's, rippling with muscles and covered in a fine layer of short, soft fur.

His head and face are that of a lion's, complete with a thick mane of red fur, and powerful jaws; though articulate enough to allow for speech of the common tongue. Finally, he has two large horns, one on each side of his head, that can be used to ram and gore his opponent like a bull.

## **Personality**

Jaraal is an incredibly blunt and straightforward individual, who claims he doesn't see the point in lying. While his actions are generally less-than honest and far from admirable, he never shies away from admitting them, and accepting any consequences. Assuming, of course, that the other party is capable of doling them out. He is hardheaded and stubborn, and it is nearly impossible to convince him of anything once he has set his mind otherwise.

In fitting with his animalistic appearance and clothing, Jaraal's behavior is often very feral as well. His mannerisms and actions usually come off as reminiscent of some kind of wild animal, often leading to the assumption that he is some sort of beast with little intellect. While there are plenty of instances where this would seem to be true, Jaraal actually possesses a cunning mind, with keen perceptive abilities, leading to a career not only as a successful mercenary, but accomplished hunter as well.

When in battle by himself, Jaraal appears almost jovial, relishing in the prospect of being pushed to his limits by a strong adversary, and as a result it is almost impossible to hold back. Much of his free time is devoted to his training, constantly seeking to expand his wealth of power. If Jaraal is in combat alongside an ally, however, or someone he has charged himself with protecting, that is when he's at his strongest, and will gladly face down any and all opposition.

Outside of combat, Jaraal's personality is very different. He is normally fairly calm and reserved, almost contemplative, and often choosing to say nothing unless directly addressed. This can change in an instant, however, especially in instances involving food, alcohol, or those he cares about. Additionally, he will become very excited at the prospect of fighting a strong opponent, or if the odds become stacked against him.

While he doesn't talk about it to others, Jaraal also has an affinity for kittens.

## **Traits & Abilities**

Primarily a hand-to-hand combatant, Jaraal knows nothing of magic, aside from a small number of Lynal abilities. He does not appear to rely on any kind of martial art, resorting to simple, wide swings that make full use of his brawn and build. Jaraal has the ability to tell the time by gauging how long has passed since his last meal.

### **Immense Strength**

Jaraal can destroy rock and bend reinforced metal easily. It takes just one hit for him to kill an average person or weaker fighter. He can throw rocks over a distance of more than one mile giving them the strength of sniper bullets.

He can bite through the skulls of opponents, and by hitting the ground, he can raise large dust smokescreen, create deep holes or earthquakes and send boulders flying against his enemy.

### **Enhanced Durability**

Even without mana, Jaraal's body is far sturdier than average, allowing him to shrug off most impact blows and physical attacks with little effort. His skin is incredibly resilient as well, making it difficult to cut or pierce through traditional means. Additionally, Jaraal can infuse his body with mana to harden it even further, making it nearly impossible to inflict physical damage of any sort.

### **Enhanced Stamina**

Jaraal is capable of strenuous activity (such as combat) for extended periods of time with little to no diminishing of his abilities. If needed, he is able to fight for hours, or even days, on end without needing to rest.

### **Enhanced Endurance**

Due to extensive training, Jaraal is highly resilient to pain, and can withstand broken bones and torn flesh without so much as a flinch.

### **Advanced Poison Resistance**

Jaraal boasts a considerably resistance to most standard poisons, and almost a complete immunity to tranquilizers and sedatives.

### **Enhanced Senses**

In line with his feral appearance, Jaraal possesses a number of animalistic senses, including a highly sensitive sense of smell, as well as acute hearing and vision in diminished light. Furthermore, he is able to track the changes in air vibration caused by those around him.
