===POWERS===
Powers:Prideful PhysiologyDar is can withstand 20 tons of physical force without suffering severe injury.
-Subpower- Ageless- Dar does not age. Unless he is killed, he will live forever.
-Subpower-Perfect Health Dar is immune to poisons and disease.
Elemental ImmunityDar is immune to magic damage and magical effects.
-Subpower-UnburnedDar is immune to fire.
-Subpower-Unshocked Dar is immune to electricity.
Lordly MightDar can lift 20 tons, maximum. This translates to his physical attacks, so don’t get hit, or it will hurt.
-Subpower-Overload Â
Dar increases his strength to 30 tons for one post. This affects his physical damage output and the maximum amount he can lift. After using this sub-power once, he is unable to use it again for the remainder of the thread.
-Subpower-Unmovable Oddly enough, Dar can apply his strength towards anchoring himself in place, making him essentially unmovable by anything with less force than he has strength. He must be completely still while doing this. Â
Skills: -Swordsmanship. Dar is a gifted swordsman, though not a true master.
-Archery. Dar is skilled with a longbow, and would be expected to hit any target with range.
-Violin. He is quite skilled at playing the violin.
-High Pain Tolerance. He isn't one to break down and cry because he stubbed his toe.
Weaknesses:-Smite. Holy/light based weapons and energy bypass his durability and gives him 3rd degree burns. A holy weapon could easily kill him with a mortal blow.
-Necklace. His necklace is responsible for boosting his powers. If he is separated by it, his strength and physical durability will be cut in half. He can make a new focus item, but it will take him a week to attune himself to it.
-Honor. Dar lives by a warrior’s code of honor. If his enemy drops a weapon, Dar will often allow them to pick it back up. He is no fool, however, and will not allow himself to be exploited in this manner.
-Nth Metal. This anti-magic metal bypasses Dar's durability. A mortal blow from Nth metal will kill him.
-Truthful. Dar will not lie. It isn't that he can't lie, he just feels that he has nothing to hide. This does not mean he will always choose to tell you certain information. He will just tell you he doesn't want to answer.
-Senses- Attacks that target the senses are just as effective against Dar. He can be blinded, deafened, or made to lose his sense of smell.
-Slow- He isn't any faster than a normal human, but he isn't any faster either. If you don't want to fight him, run away. He probably won't bother to chase you, unless you try to engage him from a distance.
Equipment:Longsword- A standard longsword. Very sharp.
Longbow- A standard longbow. Shoots very sharp arrows.
Cloak- A cloak meant to keep you warm in freezing temperatures, Dar still wears it even in the summertime.
Suit- When you need to look classy.
Pearl Necklace- Contains a single pearl. All that remains of the Knight of Pride. It looks so pure and perfect, much like the one who wears it. But appearances can be deceiving. The necklace is a focus for Dar's power, boosting their effectiveness. He can construct a new focus to replace it, if needed, but he would need to wear it for a week. The necklace and the pearl are indestructible while Dar is wearing it.
===PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE===
Personality:Dar seems like a kind and lighthearted person, and is even be willing to help out troubled strangers most of the time. He remains calm and collected, taking the maintenance of such very seriously.
He never lies. Although he will sometimes withhold information, he won’t say something that he doesn’t believe to be true. Honor is important to him, as is keeping his word.
Beneath this calm exterior, Dar is constantly scheming. He considers himself to always be right, and has a difficult time admitting when he is wrong. He sees himself as superior to everyone, and wishes to one day rule the world. He has no evil intent in doing so, he just believes that the most fit to lead should rule, and in his mind that is always him. Whatever number of corpses are required to get him to that throne Dar will consider necessary sacrifices.
Strengths:Intelligent, Patient, Naturally a good hand-to-hand fighter, cool-headed (yeah, didn’t see that one coming, did you?)
Interests/Habits:Camping, hiking, grilling, reading, playing strategy games, watching the stars, fighting.
===PERSONAL BACKSTORY===
Family Members: Parents (Deceased)
Place of Origin: The Wilds of Northern Canada
Current City: Jump City
History:When Dar was a little orphan baby, he was kidnapped by Darkseid, the evil dictator of the planet Apokalips. He was imbued with powers, and ingrained with insatiable bloodlust. He was then returned to earth, meant to be a spy and eventually cause massive destruction during a future invasion plan.
However, as Dar grew up on earth, he became attached to it. While his bloodlust remained, he had no plans on following Darkseid’s instructions. Of course, after the Vanishing happened, working for Darkseid wasn’t even an option anymore.
The children at the orphanage he grew up in called him “ghost” because of his white hair. He made it his official last name, because he liked it so much. He also enjoyed fighting, a little too much. He was taught that he had to hold this anger in, no matter how difficult it was.
After living a while in Jump City, Dar felt that something was wrong. He had plenty of chances to release the anger that was always built up inside of him. Eventually, he became disillusioned and moved across the world, working as a shepherd. Here, his anger eventually left him, reducing him to a mere mortal man once again.
It was during this time that he met the equally disillusioned Leejay Le Lefray, a Zydon monk who had also been seeking solitude. Lefray mentored Dar for a time, teaching him everything from philosophy to martial arts. Dar also taught Lefray, and the two became friends. Dar even changed his last name from Ghost to Le Lefray, to honor the alien.
A prophecy hung above Lefray's mind, and he shared this with Dar. He had once dreamed that he would kill the Sin known as Pride, who was worshiped as a god in his culture. Angered by the Zydon culture in general, as well as their recent military destruction, Lefray asked Dar to help him kill Pride, offering him immortality as a reward. According to Lefray, devouring the essence of a Sin would make one's self the new manifestation of that Sin. Dar accepted, intrigued by the idea of reaching his full potential. Their plan succeeded, and Dar ate the Heart of Pride.
Sample RPThe door was kicked down. A man with an afro on his head and a gun in each hand stormed into the room. “Dar!”
Dar sat, calmly looking out the window as the man walked up the steps. He took a drink from a tea cup.
“How can I help you?” He didn’t even look at the intruder.
The afro man held one of his guns up to Dar’s head. “I’ve got a gun to your head, you know. Are you just going to keep drinking your tea?”
“It’s apple juice, actually. I just think people look more refined when they drink from a tea cup.”The afro man yelled. “You think you can get away with what you’ve done?” Dar took another sip. “I am going to shoot your brains out.”
“Do it, then.”The afro man only got angrier. He couldn’t relish killing an enemy without seeing the fear on the man’s face. But Dar seemed as emotionless as a stone, so he would have to settle with putting a lot of expensive bullets in his skull. He pulled the trigger.
The crushed bullet hit the ground. Dar rubbed the slight bruise on his head.
“Now that was just un-neighbor-like.” He stood up.
The afro man was terrified. He hadn’t known that Dar was some kind of freak, some kind of monster. He backed up as Dar picked up a giant sword. “What are you?”
“Angry.” Dar swung the blade, cutting off the afro man’s head. He stood there for a while, enjoying the scent of freshly shed blood. He felt his own blood racing through his veins, excited by the display of violence. It was all over so quickly though, and he was going to have to clean this up. First, however, he was going to finish his juice.
