CHARACTERName: Mordecai ‘Mordy’ Makepeace
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Symbol: A black lion bearing two swords.
Occupation: Student
Appearance: - Spoiler:
Mordecai stands somewhere around six feet tall. He has silvery-blue eyes and black hair that’s shaved a bit at the sides, forming a mohawk out of the hair at the top of his head. His clothes consists of black fingerless gloves, a heavily reinforced leather jacket, faded blue jeans, a red t-shirt under the jacket, and combat boots. He keeps his weapon slung over his shoulder, favoring his right hand. Sleepwear consists of boxers and a white tanktop, which inadvertently(?) displays the fact that Mordecai’s in pretty good shape.
History: Mordecai came from an unhappy home- his dad was an egotistical ex-Huntsman who was caught up in the ‘golden days’. Fearing his son might surpass him, Mordecai was forbidden from going into Huntsman training. Mordecai didn’t take too kindly to his dad shutting down his plans for his future just to preserve his ego and one night, while his parents slept, he stole his dad’s weapon and ran off, modifying the sword to suit his needs and joining a small training school. His fighting talent got the attention of Beacon, and soon enough he’d been transferred.
Personality: Mordecai’s got issues with authority figures, often disrespecting them and going against their demands. However, he’s pretty laid back around everyone else. Hotheaded, confident, though he has bottled up feelings of anger that he masks with sarcastic quips and a facade of detachment. He’s not one to usually be afraid, preferring to stare threats down instead of running away. When he sets his mind to something, there’s nothing short of death that will dissuade him- come heck or high water, Mordecai will reach his goals.
Strength: Mordecai’s amazingly resilient, able to take more hits than most folks and keep on fighting. He’s also able to use his Semblance to the fullest, using his agility or his weapon to climb his way up to dizzying heights before coming down from above to deliver brutal dive-bomb attacks.
Weakness:Mordecai’s not one for subtlety, and he pretty much relies on brute force or setting his opponents on fire and
then using brute force. He’s also dangerously reckless, prone to defying orders from authority figures, and he’s not fond of running away from a fight.
Semblance: Mordecai’s semblance comes in the form of vast physical strength and uncanny agility/acrobatic ability, capable of lifting cars with little difficulty and pulling off advanced parkour maneuvers. However, prolonged use is dangerous as it causes his pulse to increase to dangerous levels, and if he uses it for too long without 'shutting it off' it's possible he could even have a heart attack.
WEAPONName: Aufstand
Primary Form: - Sword Shape:
A black bastard sword with a motorcycle-like gear shift by the handle. It’s very heavy. There’s a slot in the handle to insert cylinders of the powdered Dust. The Dust allows Mordecai to set the blade of the sword ablaze by holding down the gear shift.
Secondary Form: Quickly revving the gear shift two times causes the sword’s blade to fold backward, and turns Aufstand into a flamethrower/impromptu propulsion system
Tertiary Form: Not an extra form per say, but while Aufstand’s in its Primary Form Mordecai can hold Aufstand out to the side and throw it, causing it to spin while its on fire. Unfortunately, he has to manually retrieve the weapon afterwards...
History: Aufstand used to be a sword named Clarent, and once belonged to Mordecai’s father. Mordecai stole it when he ran away and modified it with parts from broken and discarded weapons to convert Clarent into Aufstand.
