OH BTW I'M SORRY I POSTED IN WRONG SECTION ><

Name – Oliver Todd Bastion


Title – The Unforgiven

Alignment – Unaligned

Race – Human, is it really necessary if I do a detailed description of the human race? If I absolutely have to I will but I just don’t see it necessary…


Gender – Male


Age – 20

Appearance – Oliver has midnight black hair that drapes down around his ears like shadows and hangs just above his shoulders. It isn’t a complete wreck but his hair is the least of any worries he has so there for it can be in somewhat of a mess at times. He has a pale white complexion as if even though he has seen a ghost he himself might be one. Although this complexion might be a bit frightening his beautiful dark blue eyes pierce from his pale complexion and bring his face to life along with his lean cheeks that show him to be an attractive man.

Aside from his face, his body is not unlike as far as attractiveness goes. He isn’t very tall of a young man, yet he is far from short for his age. He is what some would call an average man of his age both his height and his weight. His weight balances out with a slim figure yet tone muscles that show that he is in shape. His posture is very refined as well and always holds his head high even when he is in a sorrowful mood.

All in all Oliver is an awkward yet attractive man, he keeps his body in good shape but doesn’t care much for everything else, in fact he really only keeps himself physically well for his own purposes not because he cares what others think of the way he looks.


Attire
Oliver wears a shadow black dress jacket loosely over him. The jacket had an embroidered white lacing that traces around the edges of the jacket. The collar is popped and on the back of the collar in white elegant embroidered letters spells out Bastion. Its sleeves run down his arms loosely and stop short at his elbow do to the jacket being torn at each elbow. The buttons of the jacket are a deep purple and are all buttoned except for the top two buttons which are left undone. Underneath his jack he simply wears a white dress shirt that fits tightly around him. The sleeves of the shirt come out from the sleeves of the jacket and tightly go down to his wrists where the cuffs are folded back instead of buttoned.

For his bottoms he wears a pair of tight black dress pants with deep purple lines running down the sides of the pants. The pants stop short around the ankles do to the fact that they as well as his jacket have also been torn off. He wears a pair of elegant black dress shoes that have white embroideries around the edges.

Also he wears a pair of white gloves that have black embroideries around it. On both of these gloves in black is the Bastion family insignia which is supposed to symbolize the Bastion of Souls. So what it looks like is a fancy stronghold of some sorts but scaled to size to fit his gloves.

Personality
Oliver isn’t an incredibly kind person, although he is a genuine person at heart. Past memories haunt him and build this emotionless layer that is presented on the outside as he now keeps his feeling locked up inside of him. This makes people think that he is a cold person, which is reasonable, but most people don’t understand that he would go out of his way to help somebody who really needed it. Cold and dark things that have happened to him tend to give him a harsh acting towards others at times, in other words he has little pity for most people. As he believes that the only way somebody can learn something is if they experience it themselves. He doesn’t get agitated by people easily and it would take a lot to provoke an emotion from him although in other states of being he unleashes some of his emotions along with the spirits of the bastion.

First Impression – A first impression of Oliver may leave you with an uneasy feeling as has a cold exterior and say if he was asked a question about how he was feeling or something that related to his past, he would either respond harshly if he had already been agitated or another way he would react would be that he probably wouldn’t have a response at all.

Strength
Oliver isn’t that strong for starters. At his normal state he could probably only lift something around the size of a table, meaning that he could easily launch smaller items a far distance at a good speed and he could probably flip a table over with ease, but as far as lifting a table over his head. He probably wouldn’t be able to do that without struggling. If he were to punch a brick wall with all his might, he would probably hurt his hand to an extent and do little damage to the wall, maybe make it crumble a little bit but probably not even enough damage to crack it.

Speed
Oliver isn’t extremely fast at running, after a ten second build-up he could probably run as fast as a dog of some sorts if he really tried his hardest, but he probably wouldn’t be able to obtain that speed for too long. He can sidestep rather quickly although not unnaturally quick. If he gets an open shot he can deliver a rather quick blow that could do some damage however, not all of his attacks match the speed of some of them, in fact most are rather slow.

Endurance
Oliver can regularly maintain his fighting in a battle for a good hour or so without getting whipped out of energy. He isn’t very tough so if he takes a hit it is bound to do a significant amount of damage to him, not fatal, but none the less a painful blow.

Reflexes
Out of all things Oliver’s reflexes would have to be the most powerful in his normal state. He can react rather quick to most attacks. He is a very bright young man and thus his reaction skills compared to most are very good. If he were being attacked he would know how to react in a short matter of time. As far as reacting to a bullet, I highly doubt he could matrix dodge one but maybe using something quickly to shield himself from the hit wouldn’t be out of the picture.Fighting Style
Oliver’s fighting style really depends on his soul possession abilitie which will be described a lot more in the abilities section. Although if it was him fighting in his regular state he would fight without having to resort to cowardly tactics even if it meant him losing the fight.

Weapons

-Clarabelle-
History:
Clarabelle formally known to the Bastion family as The Collector of Souls had been used for generations of the Bastions ancestry on many occasions. Its history is spread across the family for both evil and just deeds for the family itself had its good yet corrupt times. Sometimes it would be used if only necessary for protection, yet on other occasions it would be used simply for killing for fun. The eight shot revolver was most importantly linked to the family because of its power to link directly to the Bastion of Souls and thus made it a very useful weapon for any member of the family. Oliver came in contact with the weapon first when it was used by his father to kill the love of his life, and in hopes to retrieve her from the Bastion of Souls Oliver swiped the gun and shot his parents in hopes to trade their souls back for hers. The trade failed and the gun became cursed with the soul of his love forever, and thus he renamed the gun Clarabelle. Oliver holds on deeply to this relic for it retains what is left of his love, yet it pains him because she is forever trapped between life and the afterlife.

Description:
A typical revolver is a repeating firearm that consists of multiple chambers and at least one barrel for firing. As the user cocks the hammer, the cylinder revolves to align the next round with the barrel, which gives this type of firearm its name. In modern revolvers, the revolving cylinder typically chambers 5 or 6 rounds, but some models hold up to 10 rounds or more. Clarabelle has a total of eight chambers. The gun is completely made out of steel and has a dark black color except a steel design of a red rose with a green stem that wraps itself around the handle that appeared on the gun when Clarabelle took possession of it. The barrel is about a foot long which is extremely large for a revolver.

Effects/Abilities:
Clarabelle has no specific effects yet it does enable Oliver some abilities that he may use which will be better describe under the abilities section.

Armour
Oliver doesn’t wear armor…

Abilities – Not complete with this, I am still looking to add other abilities with this weapon but I want to explore my character first before, so I do not over power him.
-Clarabelle Revolver-
Soul Roulette:
When Oliver uses this ability he holds out Clarabelle and swings out the black steel cylinder then uses his other hand to spin the cylinder. Once the cylinder has been spun it will start to glow an array of vibrant colors that clash against the black of the gun. Oliver then snaps the cylinder back into the gun and the whole gun begins to glow. He puts the barrel to his temple and fires a shot into his head, it doesn’t kill him instead it takes a random soul out of nine different souls from the bastion of souls and combines his soul with the random soul and thus enhancing various abilities and etc,.

I will control this effect by rolling a nine sided dice whenever the skill is used to determine which soul is called upon. It’s actually ten but its starts at 0, and if 0 is rolled the effect is invalid. It has medium length duration, but it really depends on how long it is needed, and it takes up a bit of energy so it can’t be used right after it was used.

Now I will begin to explain each soul and their effects in other posts, so I don’t clutter be prepared… For every soul I will explain the history and the effects it has on Oliver, what magic it allows him to use, or abilities, or other. Although the history will be kept brief for the sake of reader ><

Magic – He doesn’t have any magic in his regular form, magic he gets during spirit meshing or whatever I actually decide to call it will be describe in the post of the spirit.

Other Skills –No other skills in his regular form, some may be discussed in upcoming posts of the spirits

History – The story of Oliver Bastion starts out in a small orphanage where he was left as a baby by his parents who loved him with all their heart but yet they could not take care of a child in their situation so they left him at the orphanage. It wasn’t much longer after he was left by his parents that fate would have him adopted into a family known as the Bastion family. This was a family of great prestige and wealth with an ancestry of many generations… yet the family was more than that. And as fate would have it when Oliver grew up he slowly delved into the dark mysteries of the family, and at the age of a young adult he found out the families dark truth. The Bastion family was a family that practiced a dark art that delved into the mysteries of the afterlife… Oliver though unaware of the evil in the arts, started to study into it and learn the ways of The Bastion of Souls… or the so called fortress of souls, but Oliver’s research stopped after he couldn’t find out the source of the Bastions power and how to reach it. His life continued and one day he met a beautiful girl by the name of Clarabelle, at first sight he fell in love with her and he proceeded to win her affection. The two both shared a love that was unbreakable and they grew closer and closer every day. Oliver decided that their love should have no secrets and so he told her of his family’s art… When his parents found out they had no choice but to kill her, no one but the family could know of the dark art. Oliver did not know this and so one night he brought her over and when they were all in the family library Oliver’s father proceeded to pull a gun from his pocket, a gun that had been past down through the family. It was a black steel revolver with a foot long barrel that signified a bastion of sorts and a steel design of a red rose that wrapped around the handle. Then Oliver’s father shot Clarabelle and she died right there on the spot. Oliver went into shock and his parents proceeded to tell him they had to do it. Oliver died inside when that moment of her death happened but for a brief moment he thought he could revive her from the afterlife by using the powers of the Bastion of Souls. He ran at his dad and snatched the gun from his hand and then ran to a shelf in the library and grabbed a book that told of a resurrection spell… His parents yelled to him to not do it, he never knew that he wasn’t actually blood of the Bastion… Without thinking he simply pointed the gun at his parents and shot them both down.. he then proceeded to chant “Oh, dark bastion I give you these souls in return for the one I love!” The room began to swirl with the glowing of a spirit which at first looked at Oliver with love but the spell could not complete thus the soul turned red with evil it screeched in agony “WHY OLIVER!!!” it said in pain then the aura wrapped itself around the gun and the spirit absorbed into it, haunting it forever now… Oliver now with no family or the love of his life left his home and wanders the earth helping the souls trapped on earth rest in peace for ever and thus using the power of the bastion for good…
