Character Name: Giovanni Alteiri

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Type: Kishin Egg

Partnered? No

Image: N/A

Clothing and description: Giovanni, standing at about 6'1", has tan tone of skin with a muscular build. He has spiky black hair with white highlights. People tend to think it is "not natural", but Giovanni will beat you to a pulp to convince you that it is. His blue eyes contrast from the rest of him, giving off a seemingly peaceful aura when focusing on only them. He will occasionally where glasses for reading, but because of his temper they always seem to have at least one crack in them.

Giovanni wears a black jacket with the sleeves ripped off, due to his love of seeing things in pieces. Underneath he will wear a white or grey tee shirt; white if he is content, grey if he wakes up wanting to smash something. Pants-wise, Giovanni will wear blue jeans, of course having rips and tears in them. For shoes, his main choice are plain white sneakers, which is one of the only things he wears that is intact. He also has a spinner ring on his left ring finger to attempt to keep calm when he starts to get angry.

When he is transformed, his arms are very large and a deep shade of grey. They also will have scales partially risen from his forearm. When not transformed, they are muscular and with his normal tan skin.

History: When Giovanni was little, he was a terror for his parents. He would break anything in site, throw tantrums, hit other kids, you name it. His parents had enough and when he was 15, they abandoned him. Crushed and angry, he was forced to live in an old catholic orphanage. There, he met the one person that made him feel wanted, Angelina.

They were inseparable, and were in love. She was the only way that he could tolerate the nuns "reprimanding" him. He knew that Angelina would be upset if he fought back. Then, on what he will say was the worse day of his life, Angelina was adopted by a family. He ran out of the orphanage and ran to the car. He bang on the window, screamed and cried, but the head nun came out and pulled him away as the car drove off.

He tried to get away from her, but other nuns came out and dragged him inside. They then held him down and started beating him. With each hit of a ruler, or pattle, he couldn't remember through all the commotion, his anger grew. He pictured his parents, Angelina being taken away, and finally, then nuns hitting him. He had enough of getting hurt!

He broke into a fit of rage and broke free from the nun's grasp. He then started to fight, bashing, punching and kicking everyone in site. During the fight, some candles on an alter got knocked over and a fire was started. Giovanni then ran out of the building as fast as he could, not thinking about the nuns or the other orphans. The old building didn't stand long against the fire, and collapsed, killing everyone inside. Giovanni looked on at the flaming wreckage, and saw something strange, glowing floating orbs.

He then felt a hand placed on his shoulder. This older looking gentlemen was standing behind him, also looking at the flames. "Son," he started to say, "devour the souls and no one will be able to hurt you again." He then lifted his other hand and then fire disappeared! Utterly dumbfounded, and knowing that he just witnessed him murder about 70 people, he did what he said. Afterwards, he felt different. Although, it wasn't a bad different, he felt.... powerful! Giovanni than went with the old man to a strange place called the Kishin Academy. The old man revealed himself as Eldrad and said that if he trained here, he would never feel pain again.

When he got there, he saw that the Kishin Academy was a small place run by Eldrad himself. It consisted of a few Kishin Eggs in what looked like an abandoned warehouse. This was very odd to Giovanni, because he saw people with supernatural powers! Eldrad then brought in a mirror. He said "Look deeply into the mirror my son, and see what you are." Giovanni looked into the mirror, and seemed like a normal mirror. But then he saw the reflections skin catch on fire! Giovanni panicked thinking he himself was on fire, but he glanced at his hand and saw no fire. As he watched the mirror, he saw his skin burning straight off and underneath of it was a deep shade of gray. As it when on he saw himself turning into some kind of monster! He quickly punched the mirror, shattering it to pieces. When looked at his arm, expecting glass shrapnel lodged in it, instead saw no blood, but the arm he saw the monster have! He quickly recoiled and looked at Eldrad. Eldrad then said with a bit of excitment "My son, you are an Egg of Anger."

Giovanni is now 19 years old, and living with Eldrad. He dose what Eldrad asks of him, and he says he feels better everyday.

Personality: Giovanni is an angry soul, and everyone knows it. He suppresses most of his anger to be able to socialize. When he is socializing, he is kind to the people that are kind back. Although, if someone angers him even the slightest, he can explode in a fiery rage. At all other times, he likes to read and draw. He dose although have compassion for fellow Kishin Eggs and will get supremely angry if they are threatened. The main thing that calms him down is simply breaking things, he feels that the sound of something shattering or breaking is so soothing. When it comes to making friends, he will only make friends with non-humans, since he knows that they will eventually try and kill him. He hates feeling angry, but he dose find fighting a good way to let off steam. He is deathly afraid of fire and will be paralyzed by the site of it.

Abilities:

True Form:
Effects/Description: Giovanni can transform his arms into a larger darker gray-ish form of them. They both are overly muscular and about the size of a ten year old. Both have many scales protruding from the forearm (If your having trouble visualizing it, just the of the side of a fish, but the scales pointing out at a 45 degree angle). The transformation increases his strength also.

Scale Slice:
Effects/Description: The many scales on Giovanni's arms grow and become very sharp. He uses these to cut through tough opponents. Part of his "True Form" ability.


Combat Style: Giovanni fights very aggressively. He will charge at an opponent and bash at it as much as he can until they break free or dead (and he still may keep going if they are dead). He is not very tactical, as you can probably guess, and he will never attack from long range, even if it's better than combat. He is also not specialized in any type of fighting, he just bashed away at the opponent.


Strengths:

  • Strong
  • Good Endurance
  • Tough Skin


Weaknesses:

  • Reckless
  • Fear of Fire (From the Orphanage burning down and the mirror experience)
  • Weak Bones (side effect of Kishin Egg powers)


Roleplay Sample: Coming home from a rough day of combat training, Giovanni slammed the door coming in his home. "I'M HOME!" he yelled to Eldrad, his some-what step-father. "I'M IN THE STUDY!" he heard suddenly. Giovanni walked towards the voice and found Eldrad reading a old dusty book. "Come read this son." Eldrad called to Giovanni. The old man then pointed to a passage in the book. "I want you to find any information on this subject and study it as much as you can." Giovanni read the passage and looked at Eldrad, "Eldrad, I'v been training and studying for 3 years now. You've held me back from attacks on humans and I haven't collected a single soul for the longest time." He complained to Eldrad. Before he could continue, Eldrad interrupted with "No son, you are not ready yet, your still my pupil." Frustrated, he smashed his fist on the reading table and it crashed in a rain of wooden shrapnel. "I'M READY!" Giovanni screamed at Eldrad. Looking at the mess, Eldra started to pick up the book and other miscellaneous things off the floor and said, "If your serious about this, I will allow it, but I want you to go with another kishin." "Thank you!" exclaimed the young man in excitement. "Yes, yes," Eldrad said turning his head away, "now when you get the time, fix this table too." Giovanni looked at the broken table, the top beyond repair. "I'll go get some wood tomorrow." he said as he walked away going up to his room. His room was littered with broken items that wouldn't even be in a bedroom, he just liked the site of shattered things. Giovanni then flopped onto his be and picked up what looked to be like a drawing pad. He flipped through a couple pages and stopped at a picture of him and a girl that look like he drew by memory. "Angelina, one day... I will find you."

Hey Daniel ^__^ I'm Imp and I'll be looking at your character to make sure he's balanced, consistent, and ready to be launched on his maiden voyage on the calm and fair waters of 42. Yarr. I'm looking forward to modding Giovanni with you as he is an interesting character~ ^__^ So let's get started!

History

The Kishin Academy - it would be great if you could tell us more about this! As it is not at all canon, and never-before made on this site, we would love to know every detail you can think of about this mysterious academy. We also use 'Kishin' to refer to a god of chaos - the ultimate form for a kishin-egg (basically Asura is a kishin, while jack the ripper is only a kishin-egg). I am curious to know if you meant to imply that the actual kishin has anything to do with this academy? Or is it just a cooler name than kishin-egg academy?

While I won't push you about it, I would like to point out we already have a similar sanctuary for kishin-eggs. It may be difficult for you to find characters to interact with if your kishin-egg is the only one in the kishin academy.

You mention later in the profile that Giovanni is afraid of fire - is this because of his experience with the nunnery? Perhaps you could add it into his personality or History? :3

If you plan on having Eldrad as a recurring NPC we would love to hear a little more about him as well.

One last thing - it's fantastic to hear how your character became a kishin-egg, as it is certainly the most important point in his history, but it would also be great to hear how he learned his powers and what he has been doing since coming to the kishin academy.

Abilities

Please remember that if an ability is not added in here then your character cannot do it. For example, a weapon with no weapon transformation in the ability section cannot turn into a weapon.

Please make sure you give a really good description for each ability. For example are the scales a partial weapon transformation or something else O: ? If possible give us a sentence for each of power, duration, and any drawbacks the power might have. Also give a brief description of how it looks or how it would be used in RP so that others know what their character is experiencing ^__^

Overall

This is a very interesting and imaginative character ^__^ The profile is engaging and fun to read :3 well done. I really look forward to hearing more about him and his past!

When you finish editing, please remember to post a reply in this thread so that I can see the character request is ready for me to look at again ^__^

It has been Edited!

And the Academy is only a little thing Eldrad runs, the other Kishin eggs are not important to his storyline or anything really lol, but if others wanted to join I could edit some things around lol

An thank you for the complement!

Also, I do expect Eldrad to be reoccurring, but I would like to keep him a little more in the dark for now if that is ok?

Hi! Thanks for the edits ^__^ it looks like we're zooming along~ I really enjoyed reading about how Giovanni learned of his powers, it was very imaginative~

It is fine if you want to keep Eldrad from the regular members of the site, but because he will be a recurring NPC and is an important part of your character I will need to know more about him. If you don't want it on your character sheet for all to read, feel free to PM me.

Personality

This is a great start, but I would love to hear more about Giovanni :3 obviously he is very angry but does he ever experience other emotions, however brief? What is the kind of thing that sets him off? What is the kind of thing that calms him down? How does he react to new people? Does he enjoy fighting? Does he like being angry? How does he show his fear of fire? Does he stop whatever he is doing and try to bat it out, or does he just run away from it asap? Don't be afraid to really flesh out your character :3

Abilities

I assume that Giovanni doesn't always have scales on his arms (ie. while out of hulk mode) but you haven't specified this anywhere. It might be a good idea to add here or in your description that usually he has regular human arms.

Could you give me more of an idea about the appearance of his monster arms? :3 this is probably one of the coolest parts of his appearance so don't skimp on the details~ How big are they? Do they have muscles the size of coke cans? is each arm the size of a human being? I'd love to know. What do the scales look like, does each arm have only one, or does it have many? This is where people go to get an idea of what their characters are experiencing, much of the time, so make sure it is very clear or you might run into some confusion during RP ^__^;;

Please get rid of Giovanni's wrath for now. You already have super strength from your arm transformation, so super speed is a little bit unfair for a starting character ^^;; if you are really set on it, Giovanni can learn this ability after he earns a training thread - we like to see characters on 42 become more powerful, and learn lots of new techniques over time!

As a side note, I am curious as to why he has a shield technique if he is a berserker who focuses on attack - is he very much in control of his fighting, or is he blindly attacking with rage, and not feeling the blows that may get past his guard?

Combat Style

Seeing as you are going berserker rage fighter, I don't assume Giovanni has much style or flair, but this is the place where we find out how good he is at fighting. Does he know an informal brawling style of martial arts? Or is he basically going in with little to no style? How good is he at fighting, a novice, a regular person, or a master fighter?

Overall

I love the consistency of your character, and how he is coming together. It's great to see a really well thought out berserker type :3 I think he will soon be ready to loose on 42.

You are nearly done now ^__^ thanks for working so hard on your character~ I got your PM and it all sounds very interesting~

It'd be great if you could give our Rules and Guidelines a thorough read through, just as one last thing before I accept this profile :3 We want to know that you understand what we do and do not like to see on 42. If you get stuck and need encouragement, feel free to chat to everyone on the cbox at the bottom of the site~
