Character Name: Ricardo Rafael Delray
Age: 28
Appearance: Ricardo wears tough brown pants, with the hems tucked into sturdy combat boots. He has a wide leather belt around his waist, and wears a durable faded red shirt not unlike a fencing vest, with a tall, tight collar and brass buttons running down the left side. The sleeves are long, fitted to his shape, not baggy. His left hand bears a leather glove with brass studs on the knuckles, but his right is bare.
As far as body is concerned, Ricardo is fairly good-looking. He has pale skin and equally pale sandy hair, which falls messily into his eyes and is pulled into a ponytail at the base of his skull. His left cheek bears a lizard-shaped tattoo, and his eyes are pure blue. He has a well-built body, neither overweight nor too skinny.
Personality: Though a little bit on the naïve side, Ricardo has expertise in all the areas he believes necessary. He generally remains calm and calculating. However, under his façade, he has a very emotional side. Because of his tendency to be manipulated into fighting for good, there is a slight shred of hope that he could be persuaded to switch sides. He is quite intelligent, in a bookish way. He is also a little on the clumsy side.
Focus: Power, toughness.
Alignment: Mildly evil.
Abilities: Limited flight – Ricardo can grow a set of draconic wings, allowing him to fly. They can be retracted at will.
Weapons: Ricardo’s favored weapon is a bardiche-style axe that is as tall as he is. The weapon’s cutting edge is about four feet long. Because of its size, the weapon is awkward to carry around. For this reason, Ricardo’s left-hand glove keeps the weapon constantly stored in stasis in a small pocket dimension. The weapon appears in his hand with a snap of his fingers.
Ricardo is decent at hand-to-hand fighting as well.
Techniques: Fireball – Standard flaming projectile. Shoots a small red bead, which explodes into a fireball on command, up to ten seconds later.
Lightning Bolt – Standard bolt of lightning. Has a range of about a hundred feet, give or take.
Nimbus – Ricardo’s body is engulfed in flame, which does not damage him. All of his physical attacks deal additional fire damage.
Solid Fog – Creates an area of fog the size of a large room. The fog obscures vision beyond five feet. It also has weight, slowing down enemies inside it as though they are walking through waist-deep water.
Super Techniques: Wall of Fire – An enormous, crackling wall of flame springs into existence. The wall is about eighty feet high and 150 feet long. It can appear straight or curved, forming up to a half circle. It disperses after about half an hour (shorter in a damp environment) but can also be put out by large water-based Super Techniques.
Chain Lightning – A more powerful version of Lightning Bolt, and much more difficult to dodge. Has a slight ability to follow opponents, though only to a point. Once it strikes an object, several bolts of electricity arc to other nearby foes.
Sunburst – A dome of light explodes from Ricardo’s body, expanding outward thirty feet. This causes severe burns and temporary blindness. It is more effective against undead as well.
History: Ricardo was part of a noble house in Minervum, which was thrown into ruin when his father finally managed to work the fabulously wealthy family into more debt than he could handle. Upon the family’s collapse, he was taken in by a blacksmith, where he eventually forged his signature weapon before leaving to wander the continent. His current goal is to kill all of the people to whom his father owed money, so that he can restore his family’s former glory.
Extra: Note on alignment: Ricardo acts evil, for sure. However, he has a tendency to get drawn into events beyond his control which force him to act for a greater good, hence making him not completely evil.
