Name: Richard Kiylu (Doesn't mind what people call him)
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Appearance: Richards body is quite slender at first glance, as he often wears a long coat to cover his body. However, underneath his clothes lies the body of a boxer. He stands at a height of 5'10, with a smile on his face, and hands normally in a pair of lose khaki's. His long brown hair is often found tied up in a ponytail, which reaches just to the base of his neck. Basically put, he is mostly unnoticeable. His facial features are that of an average man, which makes him good at blending in with a crowd. He likes wearing green shirts the most, which is a bout the only way you could pick him out from other people if you were really searching for him.
Personality: Richard is an especially happy man, and is not one to hide that fact at all. He can often be found trying to learn something new about peoples powers, or will sometimes take random passerby's and talk about his own day to them, which causes a high level of annoyance among many. He takes great care in talking to people though, and is polite in his speech and movement. He's also a very kind person, and will do favors for strangers and friends alike. It is a wonder sometimes how he could be a killer or an Intelligence Officer. That's where his second personality comes in.
When on a mission, or in a serious fight, Richard takes on a more serious manor. He becomes very quiet and tries to stay away from people in general. He is also able to think very clearly when in this state of mind. You could say his previous personality is his way of having fun with the life he was given, while this one allows him to kill and gather information without hesitation or doubt.
Side: AotSA member
Rank: Intelligence Officer
Place of Origin: Alabama
The First Mark: Richards first mark is in the shape of a Spider with nine legs. This allows him to summon a very long wire, about the length of his body. He uses this for stealth kills or for very minor traps. On occasion, he's been known to tie people up in the thread, and then proceed to use his boxing skills to beat people to a pulp.
Thread itself is relativly thin, but can be seen given enough concentration. However, normally in the time it takes to identify it, you be either tied up, or dead. It's made of 9 separate threads, but only the one can be used, since the threads cannot be separated on their own.
The Second Mark: Richards second mark is in the shape of the Egyptian Life symbol. Though Richard himself is confused as to why it's an Egyptian symbol, he has no questions as to how to use the ability.
The ability allows him to transfer some of his life energy to his threads, giving them the ability to move according to his will, since it's his life energy they're taking. This allows him to separate the threads so that all nine can move. They can be considered an extension of him, since he can feel what they feel, and also he can hear the things around the tips of his threads. This allows for more complicated techniques to be pulled off, such as making nets, tying people with ease, or sometimes being used as an effective whip. However, this power comes at a heavy cost.
By using the energy from Richard himself, the threads move, thereby giving less energy for Richard to use himself. Should he only use one thread, or all combined, he's normally fine. However, if he uses all nine at once, he is completely immobilized, and is open to attacks. Also, when one of the threads are cut, he feels incredible pain, as they are an extension of himself. Should all of the threads be cut at once, Richard would more than likely die on the spot. Burning or freezing the threads, no matter what happens to the threads, the same would happen to Richard. Nonetheless, since Richard has used the threads multiple times, he has learned how to keep them away from danger.
Bio: Richard was born into the lower levels of society. Though the area he lived in was that of a slum, he still was able to grow up appreciating life and what it had to offer. He was brought up to be polite and kind, even to strangers. As for his marked life, not many people knew of it besides his parents and close friends to the family. He lived a much desired life of tranquility.
Once he was older, his parents informed him of two interesting facts. The first, was they were actually quite rich. His father had been into investing stocks, while his mother was a famous doctor, who'd treat special patients sent to her in secret. The reason they'd never moved to a high class area or revealed it before, was because they desired a simple life, and also wanted their child to grow up not depending on money or power. Much to their surprise, Richard was fine with it, and showed no desire to change his lifestyle.
This made the second bit of news harder to tell him. His parents then went on to say that a friend of their family was part of a prestigious Academy, one that housed many students, that were much like Richard. When he was older, he would be going to this Academy, regardless of whether he wanted to or not. In exchange, they would be given the most peaceful life possible. Though Richard was not as enthusiastic about this news, he accepted that nothing could be done about it, and later was transferred to AotSA.
Other: It was said that at one point, Richard had more than nine threads, but these have only been confirmed as rumors right now.
Richard likes talking to animals as if they could talk back to him.
