Roman Mikhailov
"quote"
Likes: Being alone, high places, cases that are black & white, neatly organized spaces, and birds, particularly studying them and recognizing their songs.
Dislikes: Using violence, being cold or even drinking frozen beverages, caves, bats, other tight spaces, and losing. Bio: Roman comes from a long line of Hunters that are rumored to have been active in Russia since the Time of Troubles in the early 1600's. The upheaval led to troubles few talk about and there were a great number of families that arose to deal with them. However, the Mikhailov's developed an edge. It's unclear at what point the technique was put into action but a patriarch began to inject blood of various creatures into his own. With each new generation, new bloods were added until bits of werewolf, vampire, rusalka, basilisk, wyvern, banshee, hellhound, and so much more were incorporated. It is tradition for newly discovered species to be captured and added to the mix. However, it has been many generations since such a thing has happened so the technique has been lost. In a modern age, hunters spend little time roaming the night and killing everything that goes 'bump' but Roman was still trained from childhood to do the work he inherited. His family was strict but loyal to each other so he is on decent terms with his parents and cousins though his younger brother was sent to America so they've spent little time together. Roman has gained some reputation in the underworld but most of it is the reputation of his family name. |
Age: 25
Gender: Male Orientation: Demisexual, pan-romantic Status: Single Species: Augmented human Powers: The strongest traits lie in the original ingestors of the blood and they have been known to develop supernatural skills. However, what is passed down is something akin to latent qualities distilled from any creature's talent. Stronger, faster, excellent night vision, hearing, a tuned sixth sense able to sense evil or locate death. Durability and quick recovery times are also a good bonus. Premonitions are not uncommon, though rarely outright prophetic. Roman is generations back from from any blood mixing so his skills are all latent power-ups to his physiology. His greatest power is his own training. Occupation: Hunter (he specializes in werewolves and chimera types but he maintains order with all who abuse magic.) Weapon: Not opposed to using a gun and skilled in various types of weaponry, his personal favorite is throwing knives. Appearance: A moderately built man that stands 5'11" tall, it's clear that he's trained and kept himself fit with purpose. His pale skin is marked by a large upper arm tattoo of his family's crest and a few scars line his stomach and forearms. Though he rarely smiles, he has a decent face with dark gray eyes and a mess of silver hair that layers over his ears and almost into his eyes. His fashion has always been practical besides one ear piercing in a rather cyber-punk style, favoring tight fitting pants and boots. Though, out on the streets he does his best to look normal in t-shirts and tank tops, often paired with a jacket. His only notable accessory is a string of multiple dog tags that he keeps under his shirt, featuring at least six different names. Personality: Even from first glance, it's easy to see he's a serious guy. He does his mission first and he does it by the book before allowing himself any time to relax. And even then, he's not the sort to joke around or 'enjoy' life. He has hobbies and tasks that brighten his days but they are private things that he puts aside easily for the greater good. However, he's a deeply introspective individual that despite seeming harsh, is often challenged by his life. He works best alone because of his high standards but has come to realize that his power is limited by this. He's not particularly prideful nor ambitious for the sake of his own benefit so allowing others in is sometimes necessary. It's not like he actually hates company. When it comes to the battles of good and evil, he sees most people as being clearly one or the other. When something does fall into the gray area, he tackles the crisis without drama and over time, he will sort it out and his own judgement. He always makes a decision and his convictions are final. Gain his loyalty and it will stay until death. Gain his wrath and it will stay until yours. |
