Von_Lipwig
It's Me.
I would like to use this character for the RP mentorship program. If it gets approved I will use this character for the Battle Tactics lessons. I made this one to be as little of a switch as possible compared to the Von I've been using (namely, my screenname) to avoid confusion and a sudden change of behaviour.
-------
Name - Vito Ontares. Von for friends (look, this is the bridge!)
Race - Human
Gender - Male
Appearance - Vito is a small, wiry young man. He has a thin face with pronounced cheekbones and a crooked nose. He had his nose broken in a bar fight when he was 15, and it had been set awkwardly, which is why he makes a soft whistling noise when he breathes through his nose. Annoyed by this, he opts to breathe through his mouth most of the time. He has large dark eyes, and dark eyebrows which gives him a gloomy appearance. His dark brown hair is cut at about 5 centimeters (3 inches right?) and is most often waxed into strange hairstyles. He enjoys the stares he gets. Stares mean attention, right?
Attire - Vito only has one concern when picking his ardrobe: it has to attract attention. Some days he may be content wearing completely black clothing and weird spikes and high boots, while other days he may wear brightly coloured clothing with sandals. One of his favourite outfits is a replica of a 17th century military uniform.
Personality - Vito enjoys attention, but would rather attract the attention by looking special than by acting loud and obnoxious. In fact, he is rather silent, and has a serious side to him, although this side rarely comes out. He enjoys fighting, and often picks fights in bars, especially when he's getting drunk. Vito would be a good friend to anyone who looks through his strange clothing and hairstyles and makes an effort to actually get to know the person. However, he sometimes has a sarcastic streak to him and doesn't shy away from making hurtful comments, only to apologise a day later when he suspects people took it amiss.
Equipment - Vito has a lighter, such a one as is commonly used to light cigarrettes with. He seldom smokes, though. He doesn't often have much else with him. Maybe an elastic band, or a matchbox, or maybe some keys, but nothing special.
Weaponry - Vito doesn't like weapons much, although he has been taught to handle a rifle in the short time he was in compulsory military service before he was judged unable to be a soldier and was discharged from his position, much to his relief. He Has once brought a knife, but hadn't used it because it felt like cheating against opponents who had no such weapons. The only kind of weapon he now uses are sometimes knucklebraces, but apart from that he only uses his fists and feet and quite frankly anything that can be found and used as a weapon when one is fighting in a bar. When he participates in bigger gang fights, though, he likes to use a variety of weapons, and has even brought a pistol once.
Armour - When he goes out to fight, though, Vito wears a leather jacket and torn jeans and military boots. He will most often wear leather gloves, either fingerless or regular gloves.
Fighting Style - When Vito fights, he feels really alive, and this shows in his fighting style. He is constantly looking for a way to best his opponent, even if the opponent is much larger than him. His speed is his advantage, as well as his ability to improvise. However, Vito always seeks to improve his fighting, and has found someone willing to teach him... on Mars.
Abilities - Vito is quite fast and agile, and often uses this advantage in a battle against more bulkier opponents. He relishes the pain because it makes him feel alive, and only severe pain actually causes him to slow down a bit. His extremely concentrated glare while fighting tends to frighten his opponents, who see, in this moment, his wild side. He does think about what he does, though. A battle can't be won without thinking.
Magic - Vito is unable to cast magic in any way. A matter of being born in the wrong country. He has some basic knowledge about magic, but has no true understanding of its deeper workings.
History -
History - Vito was brought up in a strictly religious society. He never liked it much, and as he hit puberty, he started to clothe himself more extravagantly and to behave differently to others around him. He started to hate the society he lived in and took every opportunity to break its rules and to anger the ones around him so their emotion would match his. When he couldn't acchieve this by ignoring the simple rules, he began to break the more important ones. He started to pick fights at 14, and felt that he could lose his hate through fighting, by hurting his opponent he could lose the hate and by beating an opponent he felt released, free from the strict society he grew up in. He also felt more alive during the fighting, as if he was somehow closer to his true nature, and he relished the pain where another might back away and give up. When he broke his nose, he set it himself, but poorly, and ever since there is a soft whistling noise when he breathes through his nose, which is why he most often breathes through his mouth.
Vito had to go into compulsory military service at 18, as is customary in his country. He learned to use firearms there, but was soon discharged as he was judged unsuited for the Malterse military. He lived on his own after that, in the slums of a big city, and often goes out to fight. Fighting became almost an addiction to him. When he wasn;t fighting, he was thinking about earlier fights, or the fights he was going to have, even planning moves and ways to get people to pick a fight with him. However, he still has some friends who sometimes manage to take his mind off fighting and get him to relax a bit more. Still, his main preoccupation is fighting, and he constantly seeks ways to improve, and new challenges. He finally found someone to teach him more about fighting, on the Red Planet.

I have a piece written for Vito for the Battle Tactics thread, I will post that as soon as this gets confirmed.
