Character Template Name: Martello, Nathaniel Actual Age: 18 Visual Age: 17 Nickname/Alias: The Prophet Gender: Male Race: Human Allegiance: Liu Meng Dynasty Influence: 0 Appearance: Nat has a rather slender shape when it comes to his head. His chin is not long and pointed but it is relatively close to it. All his features seem to fit together to form the face of pure elegance and grace. His nose is thin and seems to gently sit on the center of his face. His eyes are near squinted and are an off shade of blue which seems weird compared to his tan skin. His ears are rather round for the rest of his sharp, thin and style ridden facial features, but they fit in nonetheless. His lips are thin and are darker than his already darkened skin helping them to stand out amongst his other features. Nat's hair is black and goes down to his mid back in a ponytail that is tied up with a plain black band. Two messy bangs sit on both sides of his face and each seeming to want to attack the other as he moves. The top of his hair is covered by a hat, a white fedora that has a single grey stripe just before the brim. The hat sits at a downwards angle towards his face and often held in place due to the fact it can very easily fly off of his head. His upper body is not some mass of muscle or anything, actually he has just about no visible muscle on his body at all. Nat is a very lanky looking fellow and rightly so, he's given up his body for his faith. Nat stands at about 6'1 giving him a much thinner demeanor in fact he is often insulted because of his appearance. His shoulders are broad, showing the fact muscle used to reside there at some point. He honestly looks like a wall a lot of the time. Wearing a white T shirt or a white tank top, Nat finds himself dressed up for warm weather more often than not. Over this he wears a short sleeve button up that consists of all white and two stripes that are about two inches above where his sleeve ends and 3 inches thick. They loop around his sleeves and across his back and lower chest. These stripes seem to fade in, the second being much darker grey than the first while the first seem a mix between grey and white. The shirt is rather free flowing and his about 7 buttons till the bottom all of which are also slowly gaining more grey as they lower. His pants are black, seeming to be just purchased as they lack the color loss of washed clothing. They are relatively closing fitting jeans though they allow more room for movement then they would appear. His shoes sit nicely above his running shoes which have a big and clear grey Adidas logo on the outside of the shoes. The laces in his shoes are also the same grey shade. His outfit doesn't leave very much to stand out and in fact wears it so he doesn't do so. When it comes to Accessories, Nat wears a black string of a chain with a cross sitting confidently on the end of it. The cross is rather big, spanning just about all of his chest in it's silver glory. Often he can be seen wearing a pair of large black framed glasses that he uses when reading most books. His glasses are kept in an all black bag he wears most of the time because, well he just feels weird without it. The Bag is made of leather, it's black and somewhat dull but slings across his right shoulder to his left hip where the bag actually rests. On his left wrist he wears a watch that has a black strap and a large silver face but it takes him some time to read the time at moments. Personality: Nat is a very quiet and tranquil person whether you're screaming in his face or throwing a punch. He has never been one to over react or make big and obvious movement when it comes to anything. He believes that huge acts can topple cities, but small ones can rewrite history. He does nothing for fame or glory or even a thank you, when he sees something needs to be done, he goes and does it, simple enough. Nat's entire persona is one of hiding in the background until he actually wants you to notice him. Nat is very unselfish, sharing knowledge, food, money just about anything he doesn't need at that exact moment with another person. His powers help him share information whether it's for growing things or get rich quick schemes, he reads for the sake of bettering and his powers exist for the very same reason. He doesn't harm others with his powers, he simply defends himself and learns. His powers and his attitude in battle reflect the idea, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. He is courageous, jumping in to protect those who can't and helping those in need. Now for the flaws, without his book, he has absolutely no power, heck without his book he isn't to great at remembering things for long times. He can be somewhat forgetful at times and his need to learn can sometimes get him in trouble. He doesn't really do things according to the way society is made, if he has to suddenly jump into your face to get some details on you, he will. IF he has to wait outside your store for hours on end, he will, in fact, he'll enjoy it. As much as he's a nice guy, he's also that creepy dude smiling at you from across the bus, the one that makes you feel like the crowd parted just so he could see you and you can see him. When it comes to large groups of people, Nat may speak more often than usual, that or you pick an interesting topic. Nat is known to be a bit of a smooth talker at times as well, often using words and phrases against you to prove points or to show he's actually listening. Nat doesn't talk to prove he's smarter than people, people usually talk and make themselves sound stupid. He doesn't like talking to random people because of that very reason. At times Nat can be very blunt with what he says, saying something a little harsher than reality displays it, in other words a blatant over exaggeration. He does so with such finesse and creativity it usually takes awhile for it to kick in, that or they immediately curl into a ball and cry. How does he react to this? he apologizes profusely until the person seems happier. His face doesn't display emotions all to well, even when he's apologizing, a slight curve of the mouth and the eyes and bingo, you have a new emotion. That's probably his limit in expressive capability. The Bible and his faith in god makes him seem like a religious fanatic, especially since he carries around the bible everywhere. Although he believes in god and what the bible has to offer, he praises and worships in his own way. He is not an extremist but during before and after battles he often says a prayer or a verse, asking for forgiveness. History: The Story Equipment: Items:
Combat: Firearm Kido Nathaniel has a natural affinity to Kidou, his ability to manipulate his spiritual power is on par with most other spiritual beings which, to him, is quite remarkable. By charging spiritual pressure to the tip of his fingers, Nathaniel is able to fire spiritual blasts at his opponents in a similar fashion to that of a firearm. Nathaniel finds he is capable of changing the fire rate to to match the damage output, charging the shot obviously adding more power to it in terms of destructive force. Using weaker shots to lead opponents into a false sense of security, he often finishes off with a much more charged and powerful shot, similar to switching from a 9mm to a Desert Eagle. These shots can be concussive or piercing and is Nat's main source of damage without the use of his Bible. Fighting from a distance is his strongest point, finding his ability to fight at this range equal to other kido specialist, preferring it to the mud fights of the close range combatants. Intelligent Fighter Nathaniel was quite adept in in the use of tae kwon doe, although he never did take a huge liking to it. His feet and kicks are not the power houses they could be and lack the speed and effiency to hold up in close range for prolonged periods. Nathaniel makes up for his lack of raw power by using the environment to his advantage, kicking opponents into objects or generally using it to create space. In doing so, Nathaniel is able to follow up with his normal onslaught of ranged manuvers to keep his opponent on guard or on the defensive. His punches do not hurt as much and are mainly for those extremely close battles he despises so much. As he lacks many means of creating space with his fists, he avoids these situations and uses his high levels of speed to keep himself either away from his opponent or to blitz them with one hard kick to create a bit of variance in his style. The Good Book With the book, Nathaniel finds he is able to fight much more efficiently as he has the power of the lord on his side. The book contains moves which lack raw power, but make up for it in the ability to protect and support himself and allies. He is able to create barries to protect or use the mercy of the lord to heal the wounded using the power of divine light. He can also augment others with the power of his allies, adding to their power by boosting their spiritual power, or simply augmenting them with the power of the lords burning light. When used on the offensive, the light can have blinding effects, be used to pin or bind opponents with light, or even cause burning effects similar to that of holy water. Weapon: Bible Abilities: Enlightened Individual Nat has found various methods of transmuting his reiatsu in to physical and spiritual buffs to himself and his allies. Though, he finds he has the best success on himself as he considers himself to be much more enlightened than the others. In this form of thinking, Nathaniel has found ways to convert the knowledge he has obtained into a physical manifestation. In doing so he often finds himself using the power of the hollows in a much more purified form to create a body that can fight with them on par. Nat has the ability to create the attributes of a hollow, from their speedy movements to their various forms of protection in Hierro and even mock their Cero with his own kido. Although he does not have the ability to full out create a duplicate, he has taken his knowledge and spiritual enlightenment to mimic the concept of the hollow techniques in a much more purified form. When anything from this form is in use, Nathaniel gains a Halo on the center of his chest similar to that of a hollow's hole. Heavenly Archive As someone who considers themself to be a messenger of the lord and saviour, Nathaniel finds he is able to manipulate the book to display whatever he wills. In essence, he is able to paint the thoughts he has onto a blank canvas, expressing words and pictures onto the book in a way to spread his knowledge and information. Everything Nat has ever known is accessable within the confines of this book once this power is active, allowing Nat or allies to search through the book using keywords to find information Nathaniel himself may not necessarily remember. Of course this power is unable to create information he would not know, but merely express what he does know. If one was looking for information on a shady character, it would only display what little information Nathaniel had on said character. Purify Nathaniel's powers are both hollow based and against hollows, allowing him to effectively counter many of there movements or powers. Using his skills often has a bit of a burning effect, weakening and hamper enemies using his holy techniques. Nathaniel's book offers many forms of purifying the power and strengths of an enemy and leaving only their weakness as his skills often target ones spirituality as opposed to strictly physical means. From weighing foes down to sapping strength, or even flat out crucifixion, Nat fights as a mean to demoralize as opposed to obliterate his opponents. His goal is to break their spirit before breaking the body of his opponent, wittling them to capture them to finish them off. Nat aims to purge the world of all sources of evil one monster at a time. Radiant Empathy Nathaniel's spiritual pressure has a strange feeling to it, where as opposed to crushing enemies, people seem to feel more at peace when he's calm, yet feel more intimidated when he is. His emotional stability is very obvious within his spiritual pressure, which allows it to influence those who stand around him. It is hard for one to harbor evil thoughts around Nathaniel as well, where if one is not blatantly committed to an action, they will have problems forming or developing said action. When blatant negative emotions are about, Nathaniel is able to feel them like others may feel and read his own aura. This effect travels within the influence of his spiritual pressure and is how he chooses targets for his spells be they for ally or enemy as an ally would not seek to harm him. Glyphs and Pages Nathaniel's book tends to empower him, when the book is around or on his person he becomes more powerful and feels more powerful. By drawing signs on sheets of paper, said pages will float up to position and is the main way in which Nathaniel is able to active his spells. For example, to boost his reiatsu shots, a sheet of paper would rise in front of his target and he will fire a much more powerful shot without requiring a charge. To do so he must contact said sheet, by pressing a finger against it. Likewise when channeling a spell, a sheet will climb before his finger and he will draw the glyph, activating the spell in which he chooses. Most spells of his are activated in this method, making it hard for enemies to predict what he is about to do unless they are able to recognize the symbol. [This is more of how his spells work than an actual ability itself] The Power of the Following Nathaniel finds himself able to apply spells that heal allies or grant similar barriers to them as he does to himself. Nat is able to perform any buff he can to himself onto his allies in a much weaker effect as they are not receiving the powers directly from god. In fact the more people Nathaniel has around him the more powerful he feels he becomes as he has more believers willing to lend their strength to the lord who lends more strength to him. In actuality, Nathaniel is able to synergize well with others and meld his own influence with their own, creating a bit of a shared sense of power amongst them all. Picking up traces of left over reiatsu, Nathaniel's bible is able to empower his spells the more often spells are used around him, coupled with his natural ability to feel with and for others, Nathaniel is able to spread this sense of empowerment to those he is allied with, briefly restoring the power lost and increasing the damage output as well.
