GENERAL
Name Santiago de la Cruz
Nickname (If any): Santi, Snake Eyes, Chaos, Traveling Magic, Wind of Chaos... and many more due from his extensive travels all over the world
Age: 27
Height: 6'0'
Weight: 180lbs
Build: A very athletic build, almost at the tiptop physical peak for a human. Olympic level. This is due from his hard travels and adventures he has been on.
Brief Background: (Very sorry the history is quite good, detailed, and extensive but it was deleted so I will have to rewrite and edit it in, in the next day or two)
Personality: A very dynamic and charismatic youth, usually upbeat and a great sociable talker. Yet a times his emotions can get the best of him. (Will add more after history is posted)
Weapons: Iron plated black fingerless gloves, that he wears most of the time, when he is not using his magic. Also on rare occasions he will wield a nice Chrome Desert Eagle, which is engraved with black flames all over the gun. Usually this weapon is stuck in a holster on the side of his pants
APPEARANCE
[/center]Hair Color: A deep brown
Eye Color: The right eye is deep brown, while the left is a bright piercing emerald green.
Clothing: Santiago can be seen wearing several sets of clothes but this is his most common, when he is out and about:
He wears a pair of black sneakers that are neatly laced. These shoes are well cushioned and can take lots of wear and tear for when he travels. A pair of dark blue cargo pants, with many pockets on the side, these are a bit loose at the waist, but nevertheless comfortable, light, and easy to move in. A plain white T-shirt that is somewhat tight and comfortable. But his most admired and favorite part of his usual attire is his trusty vest. This red vest, laced in yellow is a small compact article of clothing. It’s a one of a kind, for it seems to almost have endless pockets. It just might be enchanted...
The other attire he wears is the same shoes and pants. But instead of the usual shirt and vest, he only wears a wife beater. This provides just a tad more mobility and it can give just a couple points on intimidation because of his arms. It reveals the somewhat the eerie and intimidating runic tattoos that cover his shoulders. His muscles on his arms are somewhat big and very well defined; they show the work of a hard worker and traveler.
Jewelry/Accessories: Most of the time he sports a pair of pilot goggles. (Kind of like the red barons). He either has them on when he is riding or traveling on his Vespa. When he is not on the seat of his vehicle they are either strung around his neck or strung around his forehead.
He also sports pair black fingerless gloves. These gloves provide extra gripping and he customized them so they have a small layer of dense hard iron on the back on his fists. These provide extra momentum, power and protection if he were to get into a fight.
The most prized possession that he sports is the Devils Dice that is tied around a platinum change that he constantly wears around his neck when they are not in use. The devil Dice are made of a mysterious black material and the dots on the dice glow a constantly glow with fiery red, reminisce of the fires of hell. (Read powers sheet for more detail on Devils Dice)
Abnormal features: Other than runic tattoos on the palms of his hand. In moments of extreme emotion or if one looks with a careful steady eye. One can see the flames of hell burning within the palms of Santiago.
LIVING SITUATION
[/center]:Current Home: Santiago has many connections and many homes considering he is traveled all around the world. In haven he has certain connections and can stay in multiple hotels at a very low cost. But at the current moment as he stays in the city, no he doesn’t have a place to say.
Petv: He has a small ferret named Roberto. He is a very strong willed and witty animal; he usually keeps Santiago company during hard and lonely times, and fulfills other purposes. He also is good at scouting and retrieving items through machinery, very critical when he helps repairs Santiago's Vespa
Vehicle: He drives a Granturismo greenish/brown earth toned Vespa. He is spent many miles and years on the road with this vehicle, which he calls "Gloria" it’s a trusty vehicle that can take beatings and it’s been through many. At times it can be a fuss and experience engine problems. Its also strung with several traveler's packs on the side for Santiago's various "equipment"
TYPE:Human
[/center]Persuasion: He is a good soul but may be considered neutral for the occasional acts he commits that may not seem just, such as stealing and gambling. Somewhat of a Rogue.
POWERS:
[/center]Chaos Magic: Santiago is a sorcerer and near master of Chaos Magic that has run down through the "de la Cruz" line for centuries. It’s an abstract and difficult form of sorcery that is hard to grasp and learn. It takes much will power and concentration to perform along with the occasions of certain rituals and incantations. It’s the magic that if one has a strong enough belief and will power it will come true. Only very few other than the "de la Cruz" family even knows and can attempt this form of magic.
Devils Dice: This relic has been passed down through the "de la Cruz" family for centuries. It is rumored to be made from pieces of the hooves of Satin. It is used to amplify and produce random effects when rolled in the form of Chaos magic. The Devils Dice are a priceless and irreplaceable relic of the past that basically represents the origin of Chaos Magic.
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES
[/center]Strengths: Santiago is a Jack-of-all-trades. And is also a near master of his Sorcery. A charismatic youth who is witty and can think on his feet in almost any situation. Also a very unique and uncanny individual that if ever encountered in a battle one wouldn’t know what to expect.
Weaknesses: A man ruled by his emotions he could make decisions that can be detrimental to his cause. If Roberto gets hurt, Santiago's mind will be filled with hate and negativity which will cloud his mind and judgment, which may cause him to produce negative effects with his chaos magic. Also sometimes he might concern style over actual performance, which can hinder him in the long run. Also Chaos Magic is always prone to backfire, its a dangerous form of magic that if not concentrated it can create negative effects and even death to the user. Also the Devils Dice does not guarantee of what will happen, it is totally random and sometimes can even make an encounter more difficult and can also cause death to the user.
Fighting Style: Santiago has never been taught by a human to fight, but during his travels he is read many scrolls and books about the human body and of martial arts. Over the time he is developed an instinct and efficient based martial arts. This style focuses on analyzing the current situation and thinking of many counters. This style is only unique to him and he is not finished developing it yet.
Previous Training or Fighting Experience: Through his travels he is encountered many fights with minor angels, bandits, and demons. He is seen and experienced a lot all over the world but has to encounter a true challenge that will bring him to his absolute limits.
