CHARACTER INDEX The Sanctuary - Character Index

[Reina]

Here are our NPCs. The Manager will be the one that gives out the missions and Triad orders. The manager is not playable but can be used to further your character's plotline. Please do not control the manager without permission. PM me first and we can discuss an interaction with the manager. He knows the whole Plot. He's too dangerous! ;)

The Concierge can be used by anyone. She is there to follow your orders as long as they do not conflict with Triad and Sanctuary rules. Please note, if you're using The Concierge, please make sure she is not already in a scene with another character.

The Manager​

Name: Arthur Van Courtland
Gender: Male
Image Source: Unknown
Age: 69

Personality: Calculated is probably the best word to describe Arthur. He doesn't make any decisions without running every possible scenario first which, despite his age, is done rather quickly. He is a man that prides himself in having the best of the best from the clothes he wears, to the drinks he drinks, to the cigars he smokes, to the faction of the hotel he has run for close to thirty years. He doesn't buckle under pressure and is one of the most trusted Sanctus members with close ties to The Triad. It is rumored that he may know exactly who they are though there isn't anyone that could break that secret from him if true. He is well versed in all the workings of the Sanctuary and the will of The Triad and is ruthless with its rules. Nothing slides when it comes to Arthur. He will not hesitate to eliminate one that has lost Sanctus status. No one is a friend.

His level of clearance within the organization gives him a plethora of knowledge and resources at his disposal that he uses to further his needs and that of the Triad. He is highly discreet and any information given is on a need to know basis. If Arthur does not want you to know something, you wont. He is also a man of his word. If Arthur says he will do something, it is a guarantee and his word is law.

Background: Arthur has been the manager of his faction of The Sanctuary hotels for almost thirty years. Not much is known about his background or where he originally came from but it is told that he was once a very skilled assassin that worked directly with the Triad. There was no middle man giving orders, Arthur was the one who received the direct instructions from the actual members and apparently still did. It is said that the Triad thought his prowess and expertise was better suited as a manager and gave him one of the Sanctuaries to run after the previous manager was executed...by Arthur himself. The Sanctuary under Arthur's management is one of the strongest and most well known of all the hotels. It receives the most visitors per year and has assisted in supporting various Sanctus members.

Arthur has no friends and is rumored to have no family. His family is The Sanctuary and the Triad and he is at their complete beck and call. He follows his orders to the Tee and does not waver in his resolve. Many have tried to garner his secrets and none have been able to gather any useful information. He is loyal to the Triad and is willing to die for it if he has to. No matter the cost.

The Concierge​

Name: Santa De La Vega
Gender: Female
Image Source: Unknown
Age: 36

Personality: Santa is very detail-oriented and it is why Arthur recruited her to work for him. There isn't a minuscule detail that she will miss. Her work is sheer perfection and in the six years she has worked for Arthur, she has had no complaints launched against her nor has an error been made. She is highly intelligent and fluent in six languages. She is a skilled weapons master. She is trained to recognize almost every type of weapon and its corresponding ammunition. She is knowledgeable of each weapon's capacity, range and durability. She is also trained in cartography and has a near photographic memory which enables her to do her work with precision and no errors.

She is highly efficient at her work and knows how to anticipate Arthur's needs and those of the Sanctus members. There isn't a task too small for Santa. Like Arthur, she devotes herself to the Sanctuary only and has a permanent room at the hotel where she stays so she can always be available when needed. Though she does allow more indulgences than Arthur, occasionally allowing herself to have some company in the lonely hours of the night when the hotel is particularly quiet.

Background: Santa was recruited by Arthur from another Sanctuary hotel. With Arthur's pull within the Triad, it was a simple transfer for him. Arthur only wanted the best for his hotel and Santa was the best. She works very closely with Arthur and knows quite a bit about him though, like Arthur, secrets die with her. Santa is devoted to the Sanctuary and especially to Arthur. The two always work hand in hand and wherever Arthur is, Santa isn't too far behind. Whether it be to take down his dictation, to follow through with a request or to be the one that carries out an execution, Santa can be relied upon.

She can be found at the front desk or at Arthur's side, wherever she is needed the most. Little is known about Santa's actual upbringing or childhood. Arthur does not want anyone knowing her background and Santa has complied. The less others know about her, the better. Arthur is jealous when it comes to Santa and though there has never been any romantic involvement between the two, their relationship can be described as a father and his daughter. Arthur has no family, neither does Santa. All they have is each other. Though Santa is well aware that if Arthur had to chose between her and The Sanctuary, the Sanctuary would always win.

 

[Reina]

Name: Miles Thatcher
Gender: Male
Image Source: Unknown
Age: 30

Personality: Hot head is probably the best way to describe Miles. He is quick tempered and is quick to pull a gun from its holster. He is loud and slightly obnoxious. The bigger the bang the better it is for him. He isn't one for discreetness. He is one to go in guns blazing, bombs bursting and all around having a grand ol' time doing it all. He is rude and doesn't have much of a filter. He will tell you exactly what is on his mind in the moment he thinks it. He can be impulsive at times and can make decisions without thinking them through in their entirety. He isn't shy in the slightest and will often be the first to speak and approach another.

He isn't summoned for jobs that require high levels of discretion. He is summoned when the Triad wishes to make a spectacle and an example. Although loud and rather grandiose with his presence, Miles does have a softer side. When his life has gotten to be too much for him and he needs a breather from all the death, he can found playing his guitar to quiet the demons. He doesn't get to play much but when he does it helps to soothe him.

Background: Miles always said that he didn't look for the crime life, the crime life forced itself on him. He grew up in a house of seven boys and one girl and always found himself in some tussle or another. It started as boys being boys but as the circumstances of his upbringing grew worse and his family was just short of homelessness in their poverty, his tussles turned into full blown fights. Miles was quick to knock in heads especially when the other kids began to poke fun at his family and their situation. He landed in one too many fights growing up until one day it sent him into the penitentiary after stabbing someone fatally at the age of 17 when that man tried to rape his youngest and only sister. The Penn was no better and Miles found himself having to fight for his life more than he could count.

His circumstances changed when he met a man by the name of Toran Tulane. Miles wasn't sure if that was his real name but that was what he was told was his name. Toran saw something in Miles and introduced him to The Triad and the Sanctuary. The way Toran described it, Miles saw the Triad as a way to free his family, to climb out of his shitty situation and find himself on the other side of the mess that was his life. It wasn't long before Miles was on his way to completing his three trials which he did from inside the penitentiary. He was branded right inside his cell and one day, his case made it to the front of the line and a judge signed his order of release. It seemed the weapon Miles used had gone missing in police lockup and so had the video footage. There was nothing to implicate Miles anymore so he was released.

Once outside, Miles received his first Sanctuary coin and Toran led the way to what would become Miles' new life. He did eventually get his family out of their situation but he knew he could never really go back to them. He was in too deep now and life was too dangerous for him to bring any of that home. So he set them up and left to solely pursue the life the Triad had laid out for him. He could still be his loud self, he could still knock in heads and make lots of noise doing it all but he had to do it for them now. He didn't have another option.

Name: Vincent Moretti
Gender: Male
Image Source: Mario Moyano Collection
Age: 29

Personality: Vincent was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He was raised with the best of the best and wanted for absolutely nothing which created a rather egotistical narcissist with a superiority complex. Vincent looks down at others he deems less than him or from a lower class. He descends from a long line of Morettis, one of the most prolific and wealthiest crime families under the protection and guidance of the Triad. They are known loyalists with every member of the family required to serve in some capacity.

Although he deems himself above others, he is at least polite and isn't one to draw much attention to himself. Vincent has received the nickname of "the shadow" as he is difficult to track and you only know he's there when he's already upon you. He moves in silence and prefers weapons that make little to no noise. His guns have silencers, he uses various knives but he prefers, and can often be found, behind the scope of a sniper rifle for ease of escape.

Background: Vincent was raised very wealthy. He went to only the best private schools growing up, had a personal tutor and his meals prepped by his chef. He also attended one of the Ivy Leagues fully paid by his father, the head of the Moretti family and a generous donor to the school. The Moretti family raised their children to treat the Triad and The Sanctuary almost like gods. They were devoted to the life and instructed all its family members to serve in one capacity or another. It was no exception for Vincent who was trained from very young to become a skilled assassin.

He was trained with various weapons though Vincent showed a penchant for the more subtle and quieter choices. He continued his training in martial arts and received his black belt and learned various other forms of hand to hand combat but it was the sniper that truly drew his attention. It allowed him to see his target but not be close enough to be seen himself. He could slip back into the shadows when done and none would be the wiser.

The Morettis gather from time to time and indulge in lavish dinners and parties that only the best of the best are invited to. Vincent can be often seen at the gatherings when not on mission, schmoozing with the other high powered family members and forming alliances were he can. It is during these gatherings that he is his most social though he still prefers the solace of solitude.

 

[Megasis]

Name:
Anthony Blake

Age:
34

Personality:
[Stoic, Reserved, Calculating]
Although a man of few words, Tony is constantly gauging the situation of a room. Planning his exit. Looping the possible outcomes in the back of his mind. Always preparing for the least expected. When he speaks, it's curt and concise - everything essential and nothing unnecessary.

His demeanor might make him a little unsettling to be around, just cause the guy often seems more machine than man. Unfortunately, due to his extended service to his current 'employer', most of what makes a person human has been lost. Currently hidden and buried under years of scarring - emotional and physical.





Background:
Life really was a gamble, wasn't it? One can't control what sort of world they might be born into. Who their mother was. Who their father was. Status and wealth or lack thereof. It was all about luck. And hell, if some people didn't hoard that all for themselves.

Born into a wealthy family with status, as a child he couldn't have ever known how crooked of a man his father was, making illegal deals under the table with a notorious slum lord that could grant his every wish. As long as the toll was paid. And when it wasn't, the monster took everything from him and made it a public showing just in case any other of his contacts wanted to go about believing he was a merciful man.

Roman Crowell was his name. He had contacts where you wouldn't expect them and even if you tried to run, he'd find you. Tony doesn't remember much from his younger years - it's blurred and forgotten for a very good reason. But when his father tried the impossible and attempted to double cross Roman, his family ended up being the price paid. Tony faintly remembers that night, with the heat of flames against his cheek as he was dragged away from his screaming mother and his pleading father. The gunshots signaled their demise, and in an effort to make his father stir in his grave, Roman decided to take his precious son and teach him the ways of underhanded business.

He became an apprentice of sorts, or a pet was more accurate, trained and tortured in ways that took away his free will. It broke him. In that kind of situation, the human mind could only take so much before it gave up fighting altogether. For ten years he suffered beneath the hand of Roman Crowell, doing the man's bidding and spilling blood until he nearly became unfeeling to the motions of slicing a blade across a living person's throat, or the desperate cries for mercy. He would have likely been Roman's puppet till the end of his days if the slum lord hadn't been infiltrated and struck down by order of the triad. He was becoming too dangerous - earning a name for yourself as a criminal wasn't always in a person's favor.

If they weren't executed on sight, they were taken into custody for interrogation, Tony being among the many. And when the time came, the eighteen year old boy's bloodwork came back for finalized identification as Anthony Blake, long since denounced dead and thought to have burned in the fire of his childhood home along with his parents. Roman… the sick bastard.

The triad saw an opportunity with Tony. While broken and brainwashed, they would take the next sixteen years to breathe life back into the man that hadn't taken his own breath for himself in the decade that he was Roman Crowell's lapdog. But trying to make a man that only knew killing and integrate him back into society? It just wasn't possible. And when given the choice, he stated his wish to continue his line of work, but under the banner of the triad instead. They agreed and made an asset out of Tony, but they also deemed it a mercy. One that was to be paid back someday. A reminder that stared at him every time he looked in the mirror. He wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for Arthur, vouching for him that he should be given a chance. That he could be converted back to the good side. A Blood Oath must always be paid, but when, where, and how was up to The Manager.

Specialties:
-Greatest asset is his mind (works quickly and comes up with execution on the fly)
-Efficient with most fire arms and hand to hand combat (trained when he was a boy with Crowell's mob, but also in his years working under the Triad)

Name:
Marcella Vandez

Age:
29

Personality:
[Cunning, Spunky, Charismatic]
Marcella is a woman of many masks. Renowned as a master manipulator, she makes you see what you're meant to see and nothing else. A pretty smile and a glimmer in her eye might make a person believe she's the love of their life, till she's close enough to slit their throat while muffling disruptive screams.

For a renowned assassin, she's quite pleasant, proving to be one that can melt into the background, or speak to let her voice be heard when need be. Meeting her on the street, one would never guess how she has sullied her hands with blood. Not with those soft charming features and with a tongue equally eloquent.




Background:
All things considered, Marcella had a pretty standard life growing up. Her mother was a pharmacist, and her father, a police officer in the grand city of Los Angeles. She had a perfect little life, but as most came to find out, all good things eventually come to an end. When she was in high school - still trying to figure out where she wanted to go and what to do with her life just as other young adults her age - the LAPD stumbled across an underground drug trafficking operation. Without knowing how dangerous the threat was, it was still their job to infiltrate and take it down. They lost 23 officers by the end of it all, one of them being her father who had served the LAPD for thirteen dutiful years. Her and her mother were devastated. Some wounds never healed, but in the end, it pointed her towards her calling and sealed her pathway to the triad.

She wanted to make her father proud. She wanted to be able to take down evil groups of people just like that drug cartel. The police academy was her first step into the world of criminal justice, and when she felt that wasn't enough, she further climbed the ladder. She eventually worked her way into S.W.A.T. dispatch, the working mind and tactician behind carefully planned operations that would see more good men living at the end of a mission rather than dying in the line of duty.

Her work apparently made her noticed by unseen eyes. Not only was her heart in the right place when it came to humanity, but she was a highly capable individual with determination as solid as steel. Coding capabilities, combat experience, and ability to work under pressure? That was a triple threat in the eyes of the triad.

A simple letter was her invitation - to come to understand the existence of the elite group that was hidden from the public eye. She came to Sanctuary. Saw the sights. Was informed of what they could offer her. All she had to do was pass three tests, and she'd have a hand in helping the world on a much larger scale.

She accepted, and passed the trials with flying colors. Leaving her life behind, she began working for the Triad full time, and has since made enough money to retire comfortably if she so wished. And sends much love in plenty of letters to her mother who believes she still serves public law enforcement. It was better for her not to know, her dear little heart likely couldn't take it.

Currently on hiatus, she is spending some time at Sanctuary, using the amenities for their intention of providing a safe place for agents like her.

Didn't you know even assassins need a breather once in a while?

Specialties:
-Tech savvy from her time in dispatch operations [developed into hacking with her time working for Triad]
-Basic weapons training [well rounded but does not specialize in anything]
-Master manipulator [she's an infiltrator and knows how to get information out of her prey]

 

[Blood Lightning]

~Carrying over from OOC~

Name: Nanami Amatarasu Higashi
Gender: Female
Age: 28
Appearance:
[bimg width=350]View attachment 251511[/bimg]Face Claim: Lee Seung-ah

Personality Before The Three Trials: Once you get to know her, Nanami is a Kind, Loving, Gentle and very Patient person to others around her. This stems from her past as being the ignored and unwanted child in her family, as she was the youngest and was pretty much the only girl in her Family following the deaths of her Mother and Older Sister. After that, no one in her Family really paid attention to her, her accomplishments or anything. If she was closed to anyone, it would be her Adoptive Brother, but even then they weren't even that close.

However, if you get on her bad side, Nanami has a hot temper and will often give off sarcastic remarks, comments or answers in response to what she deems idiocy or stupidity. When she loses her temper, she will often say things she doesn't mean and will often start yelling, cursing and will often refuse to hold back until she lets it all out.

In romance, she is very shy around guys that she finds cute, handsome, hot or whatever the case may be. As a result, she has trouble even trying to start a conversation and is easily flustered. When she sees someone that she likes with someone else, Nanami doesn't take it very lightly and falls into a brief state of depression, where she will just lose interest in her usual hobbies, often distracting herself through other means. Depending on how much she likes that special someone, determines the length of her depression period.

Personality after The Three Trials: For the most part, Nanami's personality remains the same prior to her life being forever changed. She still carries the pain of never being accepted but is still kind and patient with others. However, she has become more sensitive when it comes to her emotions, so it is easier for her to get upset or angry. She also ends up in tears much faster then she used to whenever she is upset and will cry her heart out if pushed far enough.

Background: Nanami Amaterasu Higashi was born and raised in Los Angeles the youngest of four siblings, one of whom is adopted. She has one older Half-Brother, who was a previous marriage and one Older Sister. When Nanami was ten-years-old, her Father, Takashi, retired from Soldiering as a US Army Special Forces Operative in order focus on his Family. Nanami was pretty much the 'ignored and unwanted' child in her Family, even more so then her Adopted Brother Shinya, who is also the only one in the entire family to even look at her. Nanami was even disliked by Seishiro, her Older Half-Brother. Nanami fell into the earlier stages of depression when her Mother was diagnosed with Terminal Cancer and died exactly a month after the diagnosis. Two years later, Mahiru died after a long and hard battle with AIDS. Left with only her Father and Brothers, Nanami had never been in a darker place. Despite getting to learn how to fight, shoot and have access to a higher education, her Father still didn't really accept her and neither did Seishiro. Both Brothers followed in their Father's Footsteps and joined the Army straight out of High School. During her High School Years, Nanami took Running Start, taking College Classes starting her Junior Year, allowing her to jump-start college. After graduating from both High School and Community College, where she took her Running Start classes, Nanami was accepted into Princeton University on a full-ride Basketball Scholarship, including room and board.

With a Basketball scholarship, Nanami was not only able to not only put the worries of student loan debt behind her, but was able to participate in sports that she both excelled in and enjoyed, with Basketball leading the charge. Outside of Basketball, she got to participate in Volleyball and Soccer in the off-season along with Martial Arts, which allowed to find solace from her unaccepting family. Having started with Taekwondo at the age of twelve (and getting her Black Belt at fourteen), Nanami would go on to explore Brazilian Jujitsu and Muay Thai as they were available in the area. While Brazilian Jujitsu gave her a hell of a workout, Muay Thai was actually much more heavy-handed and even more vicious, especially when it came to the elbow and knee strikes. Engaging in sports and in martial arts would mostly keep Nanami living an active lifestyle versus a more sedentary one.

At the age of twenty-two, Nanami would graduate from Princeton University with a Bachelor's Degree in Public Policy, which was the closest she could get to for a Criminal Justice degree. However, rather then going down the road of a Law Enforcement Officer like she had once dreamed of, Nanami would go on to lead a different life. One as a hitwoman in the criminal underworld. With the help of her Taekwondo Instructor, Nanami would go a lot deeper then the surface level for the underworld, from being put through three heavy handed trials and granted a marker in The Sanctus, who are overseen by The Triad, something that Nanami, to this day, knows very little about.

Within the next six years, Nanami would establish her reputation as a heavy-handed hitwoman, known for using her Martial Arts prowess to take down her opponents. Over the years, she would add several more martial arts styles (Kyokushin Karate, Krav Maga, Jeet Kune Do and to name a few) to her arsenal, becoming more and more deadly in hand to hand combat. Despite her skill and willpower, Nanami was not invincible or immortal, so brushes with death was pretty much a regular thing in Nanami's new, dark life.

Martial Arts Notes:

• Taekwondo - 4th Dan Black Belt
• Brazilian Jujitsu - Purple Belt
• Muay Thai - Brown Arm Band
• Bokh (Mongolian Wrestling)
• Kyokushin Karate - 1st Dan Black Belt
• Jeet Kune Do
• Krav Maga

Present Day: After six years in the criminal underbelly, Nanami decided to set down her guns and knives to seek a life in solitude and peace, disenchanted by the life she has led. With no blood oaths to fulfill and fed up, the souls that haunt her and the blood that stains her very soul, Nanami decided to take her exit, preferably before she is killed. Unfortuntely for Nanami, no one can ever truly escape the grasp of The Triad and its Sanctuary. Only one little problem for Nanami though as she is returns to the fold...

She is Pregnant

As of her debut, Nanami is 37 Weeks along with a Baby Girl[bimg width=350]View attachment 251512[/bimg]

Name: Asumi Yamamoto
Gender: Female
Age: 27
Appearance:
[bimg width=350]View attachment 251513[/bimg]Face Claim: Sana Minatozaki

Personality: Asumi can easily come off as cold-hearted and short-tempered when one first meets her. Underneath her Cold Exterior, Asumi has shown to be a very nice and caring young woman, so she often wonders how she will make it as an assassin. Often, she will go out of her way to help another in trouble and will not abandon them. Even then, she takes life very seriously, especially when it comes to Academics and her Training. A determined trainee, Asumi hopes to graduate Cripter top of her class, but hopes to at least make it within the top ten.

Despite her kindness, Asumi is proud and somewhat egotistical, so she doesn't take kindly to people who challenge her decisions or downplay her abilities. When angered, Asumi will not hesitate to act out on her own and will often take matters into her own hands. Due to a life-changing event in her early teens, Asumi cannot handle watching or seeing others die in front of her. Witnessing such things can cause her to become reckless.

Background: Asumi was born into a Wealthy Family. Her Father was a Freelance Contract Killer and her Mother was a Hitwoman. She has one older brother named Ryuichi, who has also followed in their Father's Footsteps. However, both of her parents retired from such a dark lifestyle in order to raise their little girl. As a result of her parents' past, Asumi grew up listening to her parents' tales of Assassination and Contract Killings. She showed a lot of interest and often had thoughts about following in their footsteps. However, Asumi never really had much of a Motivation for such a life, so for the time being she instead started focusing on her Academics.

When Asumi was fourteen years old, she witnessed her Father being killed in a Gangland-style Execution while taking her to the park in order to spend time with her. As a result of her Father's Death, Asumi never wanted to see people dear to her, or innocent, die before her eyes. Sadly, her Father's killer was never caught. At the age of fifteen, she revealed to her Mother that she wanted to keep the Family Tradition going and become an Assassin. Pleased, her Mother sent her away after she turned eighteen for training. With Revenge as her primary motivation, Asumi started down the dark path she had once hoped to avoid.

Present Day: For almost twelve years, Asumi would hone her craft as an gun for hire in the criminal underworld, eventually making her way into the Sanctus like her parents and her Brother all before her. While proficient in combat and swift to carry out her jobs, her over-confidence and blood thirst would lead to more trouble then needed. Eventually, Asumi would avenge her Father's death, eliminating the gang that was responsible after being able to track them down. With her vengeance complete, Asumi would set down her gun and retire to take care of her now elderly mother as well as seek peace to fill the void that the completion of revenge has left behind. But the life she has left will follow her soon...

 

[Lyrikai]

Name: Tane Kooper
Gender: Male
Age: 34
Face Claim: Unknown

Personality: In terms of outward appearances, Tane is a very calm and caring individual. He's kind and he's polite, gracious, and well-mannered. Whether he's actually as kind as he seems or if it's just an act like he's putting on a play though, that's up in the air. Sometimes he acts just a little too kind, too cordial, too respectful. If there ever needed to be some good examples of what it's like to be killed with kindness, Tane sure would be a prime take. He hardly ever loses his temper in front of another and doesn't seem all that easily insulted nor offended. He can smile through even the more vicious remarks tossed his way.

Of course, what it seems like on the outside isn't always necessarily what's really going on inside. At times, his anger gets too great and there's a drive for violence. While he's usually good at controlling it, sometimes he has to release it, unleash it, and go crazy for a night or two. After all, it's probably not good to keep all that anger bottled up forever.

In private, he's a lot of a self-loather. He tends to hate himself when there's no one around to see it, hating how enraged he can get. Even if he can suppress it most days, he always has to let it out sooner or later. He calls his anger his "Blight", considering it more of a curse than anything else.

Background: When he was much younger, only a child, Tane had a terrible temper. He would lose it at the drop of a hat and could lash out and hurt himself or others far too frequently. A childhood of therapy barely helped. He was always a problem child of sorts. With the temper he had, he spent a lot of time getting into fights, a few of which that ended with broken bones. His parents never truly knew what to do with him. They tried love and coaxing, trying to calm his fiery soul. When that didn't work, they tried more discipline, but the going was always rough. His life remained troubled and his schooling suffered, his social life suffering even more. Spending most of his time alone, having few friends, it taught him how to embrace solitude and to enjoy just being alone in the silence.

It wasn't until Tane was much older that he began to calm down. A little. He discovered meditation and reflection. Through the art of meditation, he learned how to suppress violent tendencies. He learned how to hold back, how to reign in his temper, and how to keep himself calm in most any situation.

When he was in need of proper outlets, he took up running and working out. When he needed something more, he took to target shooting and sport hunting. He became quite the crack shot with a rifle, honing those skills for many years through trips out through the wilderness looking for trophies to display on his walls. Though, when clay pigeons and wildlife weren't quite doing it for him anymore, he discovered street fighting. Hopping around from venue to possibly illegal venue, being able to actually let his fists and feet make hard contact with another body was a thrill he just couldn't get enough of. He still practiced meditation and forced kindness to keep from lashing out outside the ring, but he sure did love hitting people in the ring. Weapons were always strictly forbidden in the ring, fists only, but what happened outside was anyone's game. Crude weapons like baseball bats or crowbars, though especially knives and blades became a fascination of Tane's. It was quite satisfying, the feeling of a blade slashing an arm or a blunt instrument cracking ribs. Any time he found someone else like him, someone who was willing to put more risk on the line for a more thrilling fight, his day would be made.

He had never expected nor anticipated anyone taking notice of such a miserable person like himself. Honestly he expected to eventually get injured and unable to continue any longer, or even to be arrested, killed, he didn't know, didn't care. A chance encounter at a match asked if he wanted to put his boundless energy and prowess for, well, violence and fighting to a better purpose, and he took it. Street fighting had its downsides and even it could get old, too, after all. He found himself being put through a series of trials to prove he was cut out for this, that he could be reliable, useful. He did everything in his power to prove his worth, desperate for that new outlet and a new place to belong.

 

[Mister_Veeeee]

Name: Viktor Salvador

Gender: Male

Age: 38

Appearance: (see attachment)

Personality:



Viktor has Mellowed out a bit over the years and is mostly calm, collected, reserved, and strictly business.

Though in a gunfight, it's like a switch is flipped. He becomes a loud, foul mouthed, battle junky. Blunt as rock and hellbent on survival and causing as big of mess as possible. Like battlefield fueld adrenaline is only thing that seems breath life into him. The contrast in personalities has earned him the title Jekyll & Hide after completing the trials given to him by the Triad.



Background:



From C-4, thermite, and hand grenades to motars, howitzer, and anti- tank guns. Viktor is an explosive and ordnance expert know from time as mercenary working with a freelance group that was starting to make name themselves for the past seven years. Viktor was scouted at the age of twenty-five due his solo contract work as a demolitionist and long range support. Typically hired for setting up landmine fields to raining artillery shells on target locations. Though occasionally did a few jobs that put I'm directly into line of fire.
