"[i]The night is young and the hunt is on, but beware... Not all hunters share our goal. Best keep your hands clean, if you catch my drift... There's no honor in what I do.[/i]" [b]Name:[/b] Lothran the Crow [b]Age:[/b] 27 [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Height:[/b] 5'11 [b]Full title:[/b] [i]Lothran the Crow, Hunter of Hunters, scourge of the Hunter's nightmare.[/i] [b]Appearance[/b]: As shown in the photo above. Underneath the mask and clothes is a rather pale and skinny man. His face is quite gaunt, and his eyes portray nothing but a cold look of disdain. He has raggedy dirty blond hair that he usually keeps covered along with his mask. [b]Personality:[/b] Cold and unforgiving, Lothran makes full use of any mistakes or follies made by his opponents. Relentless with his attacks, his fighting style switches between dashing in and taking light hits before dashing out unscathed, or becoming a ferocious being, attacking with the violence of a murder of crows. [b]Backstory:[/b] Born during the eternal night of Yharnam, Lothran was raised to fear the outside and to avoid becoming a part of "The Hunt". Abused and mistreated by his parents out of their frustration with the current state of the world, he suffered immeasurable trauma throughout his childhood. Without an escape from the torment, he fell into a state of depression. Losing all will to live, he opened the doors of his family home and welcomed the beasts and fellow townsfolk in. His parents were slaughtered as they slept, Lothran shortly realizing what he had done afterwards. Panicking, he ran for safety before running into an impending figured dressed as a crow, falling onto he ground out of fear. As he pled for his life, the mob of angry beasts grew near. As they approached, the figure unsheathed two blades, slicing through the beasts with ease. Standing in a pool of blood, the figure turned their head to him and asked "[i]Do you wish to live or not?[/i]". Shaking his head as he was at a loss for words, the figured pulled him up, introducing themselves as "Eileen the Crow". Take him under her wing, he was taught the art of The Hunt, learning techniques made specifically for killing other hunters. Eventually, he was deemed worthy by Eileen and released with the title of The Crow. He wandered for ages, murdering the wretched Beast plague victims and other hunters alike, his curved blades tearing through flesh with ease. When in danger, he would call upon his strength and wield the Beast Cutter, a heavy bladed whip that tore through bone and flesh like paper. Eventually he set his sights on the Dojo, seeking to find a cure for the Beast Plague... Or maybe someone to destroy it. (Background revealed through RP) Though not an executioner, Lothran has an unreasonable amount of hatred directed towards the Vilebloods. Revealed through conversation, it was discovered that he had fallen in love with Eileen the Crow through his tutelage. A year after being released, he had decided to confront her and confess his love when he came upon the most accursed of scenes: in her own home, Eileen had been murdered by a rouge Hunter who had pledged themselves to the Vileblood queen. In a fit of rage, Lothran searched for ages, murdering every Vileblood he could find. Eventually he made his way too the Cainhurst manner where he confronted the queen, taking a list of the current Vileblood hunters. Vowing to destroy her empire in front of her eyes, Lothran left her alive so she could watch as he tore down everything she had worked hard to create. [b]Arsenal:[/b] [i]Blades of Mercy:[/i] https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTdQDhf7uU5mWH8oUezTmSiPawyItFG3f9w0Hxhw_252a2mC0nk This large dagger can split in two, become an elegant weapon used to destroy Hunters and Beast alike. [i]Beast Cutter:[/i] http://bloodborne.wiki.fextralife.com/file/Bloodborne/beast_cutter.jpg This odd weapon starts off as a serrated machete, but with a strong whip of the arm it becomes an elongated serrated whip that crashes and tears through all it comes into contact with. [i]Whirligig Saw:[/i] http://bloodborne.wiki.fextralife.com/file/Bloodborne/whirlgig_saw.jpg Another one of Lothran's strange weapons, he uses this weapon in place of the Beast Cutter when he needs a bit more power behind his attacks. In it's normal form, it acts like a large mace, the handle being nothing more that a heavy chunk of iron. When transformed, he attaches the head of the mace to a port in the saw on his back, creating a massively devastating weapon that can tear through most materials with ease. [i]Hunter's pistol:[/i] A standard of Hunters, this is a single-shot pistol that fires quicksilver bullets. These do little to no damage, but strike with such an impact that if timed correctly can disrupt a foe's attack. It looks like that of a blunderbuss, able to be used in both long and short range fights. [i]Church cannon:[/i] A massive cannon used by the Blood healing church in the days of old, this massive arm-mounted cannon can fire a massive ball of steel coated in flames up too three-hundred yards away. What it lacks in high range for most technology is it's power. Able to tear through most armor, this ball explodes in a roar of destructive power on contact. [b]Abilities:[/b] Hunter's resilience: Due to being a hunter, Lothran's body has the strange ability to hold up against physical trauma better then most humans. This mostly pertains to things that would normally destroy a human, such as having a baseball bat slammed into his leg. Instead of shattering the bone, it would cause a large bruise and large amounts of pain, allowing him to continue to fight. Blood Vials: After battle, Lothran can absorb vials of blood to heal his wounds. He carries up to twenty of these at a time. Visceral attack: If given the chance (By that I mean an opponent 1) giving me permission and 2) the opponent getting stunned, Lothran will plunge his hand into the opponents back or chest and absorb a large portion of their blood. This move is ridiculously Op, so it will not be used frequently and for the most part only in finishers when an opponent has given permission. I repeat, this move requires an opponents [i][b][u]Permission.[/u][/b][/i] Old Hunter's bone: A bone used by the Old Hunters, Lothran can spend a small portion of his blood to allow himself to "dash" instantaneously in short distances in a small explosion of sulfurous smoke. When used, he can do very short range teleports for three turns, but it takes 8 turns to recharge before he can buff himself again. Blood of The Orphan of Kos: A rare vial of blood worth more than the life of all in Yharnam itself, this vial of precious blood is filled with the crimson nectar of the child of a celestial being. Used as a last-ditch effort, Lothran will absorb this to temporarily boost his strength massively and give short immunity to being stunned, but at the cost of his humanity. He becomes a mindless beast, attacking all in an endless quest for blood to satiate it's bottomless appetite.
