NAME: Adar
ALIASES: N/A
SPECIES: Ouroboran (Alien C)
AGE: 15
GENDER: Male
STARTING PLANET: Earth
APPEARANCE: Adar stands at 5’3”, a relatively average height for an Ouraboran his age. His body is humanoid, with slightly thinner proportions than the average human, and a lean, toned build. His hands, forearms, feet, ankles, and his back all have silver, shiny scales on them, and he has short claws on his toes and fingers. Where the scales are not present his skin is tan and mottled slightly in places. His ears are small and pointed, and his eyes are overall human in shape, with a yellow iris. His hair is light brown and wild, usually kept loosely tied back in a messy tangle of braids.
For clothing, he wears a loose and baggy pair of brown cloth pants, threadbare and worn, with a similarly colored half kilt tied around his waist at an angle. His belt is essentially a leather strap, inlaid with colorful stones. His upper body is usually left bare, though he will wear something when it’s more socially appropriate to do so, or it’s just cold out, as his body temperature is slightly lower than a human’s. Around his neck he wears a woven leather choker, with similar jewelry on each of his wrists. Rather than shoes, he wears leather wraps on his feet.
BACKGROUND:
Ouroboras is a relatively primitive world, well outside the interest of the other major spacefaring planets and empires. Its only relevance to spacefaring people is as stop for repairs or rest if their travels bring them in its vicinity. The native Ouroborans are an insular but good-hearted people, notable only for their strong fighters and a deeply spiritual culture revolving around their planet’s four moons. An interesting fact of their biology is that the number of visible moons and their position relative to each other determines with a great deal of certainly the color of a newborn child’s scales, and in turn is used to predict certain aspects of their future. Normally, only two to three of the moons are visible on any given day, and even when all four are visible, they usually partially obstruct one another. However, every few decades, all four moons become fully visible, a terrible omen, and even worse for any child born on that night.
According to Ouraboran legend, long ago, a great and evil silver serpent endangered the planet before being struck down by the gods, its body cut into four pieces. The serpent’s blood fell upon the planet Ourabora, changing the local people into what they are today, giving them the strength, they hold as well as their scales. However, it is said that anyone born when all four moons are clear in the sky is a reincarnation of the serpent, marked by their silver scales, and carrying a dangerous and uncontrollable power within them. The serpent’s vengeance against those who slew it.
Such was the case with Adar, who was the most recent child born with “The Serpent’s Curse”. As was custom, he was banished to an isolated cavern, where giant plants and strange creatures dwelled, the only light coming from strange crystals that simulated sunlight. The theory being that there, their power would be unable to harm anyone, and they would either live out their days in isolation or be killed by one of the beasts that shared their new home.
However, Adar got lucky. The last silver scaled, an elderly woman named Kobara, was still alive against the odds and took him in. She was not exactly the nurturing type, harshly training him both in combat and the management of his power, and he was disobedient and impatient, resistant towards the emphasis her training method put on meditation and mindfulness. Despite this, there was a deep unspoken affection between them, and while it was a difficult childhood, it was not as bad as it would have been if not for her. More importantly, from her he learned how to apply layers of suppression on the serpent’s curse, binding the power within him and preventing it from overwhelming him, so long as he didn’t push himself too hard.
Unfortunately, no matter how much she had trained her body she did, eventually, give in to her old age. On her deathbed, she made Adar promise he would find a way out of the caves and find a place where could live his life and learn to properly control the serpent’s power. He did not think it would be possible but promised as she slipped away.
As it turned out, it seemed the gods had decided to honor her dying wish. After a few months of the solitude he was meant to have from the beginning, something broke through the stone ceiling of the caverns. A ship, having crash landed on Ouraboras. Adar saved the lone passenger, having heard of spacefarers but never met one himself. He and them made a deal: He would help find what was necessary to repair the ship, if they in return would take him with them and drop him off at whatever planet was most known for its powerful inhabitants. Adar reasoned that there he might be able to find some means of advancing Kobara’s training and gain real control of his power, rather than just suppression.
The alien agreed, not fully understanding why this boy had been confined in such a place, and decided to leave him on Earth, which had a reputation for its powerful warriors. Using the crystals as well as other natural elements, they were able to jury-rig the ship, escaping the planet just as other Ouraborans arrived to try and prevent him from fleeing.
Now free at last, Adar plans to fully master his curse of destruction, and prove his people wrong about the nature of his power.
TRAITS:
Rampant: The third, fourth, and fifth transformations all require a tech slot to control
Moon Boom: Ingrained DNA that strengthens you in the presance of Blutz Waves allows you to gain a +x1 ATK / -x2 DEF modifier to your PL when you use a Blutz Generator. This lasts for the whole thread.
Jumpstart: Fighting is second nature to this character. They begin with two extra technique slots at character creation.
Antisense: Your character, through some means, renders themselves invisible to ki sensing techs. Scouters can still pinpoint your location in spite of this characteristic.
TECHNIQUES:
OFFENSIVE/DEFENSIVE TECHNIQUES:
Crescent Bolt [A1] : Adar channels his Ki into his hand before sending a small, crescent shaped bolt of energy at his opponent.
Crescent Slash [VA2 - Piercing]: Channeling his ki into his foot, Adar performs a spinning roundhouse kick, sending a wave of energy that is able to cut through some objects.
SUPPORT TECHNIQUES:
Shimmer Step [SU1]: Adar teleports out of the way of an incoming attack, leaving a slight shimmer in the air where he used to be.
Shimmer Flash [SU2]: Adar teleports behind the opponent, leaving behind shimmering afterimage to disorient them.
UTILITY TECHNIQUES: All UT-tiered techniques like Ki Sense or Bulking go here.
Sense Prey [UT1]: Adar closes his eyes and extends his ki, allowing him to pinpoint the direction and relative distance of the individual with the highest power level in the vicinity. This does not work on those who are able to hide their ki, such as androids or aliens with Anti-Sense.
TRANSFORMATIONS
Serpent Armor – Starting PL: Channeling Blutz Waves into his body, the scales on his arms, legs, and back extend further across his body, only leaving his face uncovered. x5 Multiplier, requires Blutz Generator.
