[ ON THE SURFACE ]
Physical Description: Used to look like Adonis - body chiselled by Michelangelo, face like a hero and a wood the size of a - well, I’ll let the women and handsome men dream.
The reality is, I’m just a far cry from my days of romance. Body chiselled by Michelangelo has long been weathered down, sharp face grown weary from my two fronted fight against Father Time and Lady Gravity. They say that my eyes are the best feature. Empower the look of a villain they say - dark green eyes with sharp eye feature, like I’m always going after someone with mad look, like a bull seeing red. Now it just a weathered old look. Not too long ago I looked into the mirror and I see those pretty dark green eyes turned into a weathered pitiful, tired look, crow feets included. Not sure if it the illness’ doing or I’m just starting to become a bitter old man. Didn’t look at the mirror since then. Suppose that’s why I’ve started to grow a bit of a stubble around the ol’ sharp jaw of mine. Still got a strong chin, can take a ton of stiff punches, kicks, you know what. I won’t go down with a petty punch that’s for sure.
Still got a smile, all teeth in place and has no reason to leave. Ma and Pa gave me a smile that’ll never break, that’s something I’m deeply in gratitude - worth all the missing Birthday, Christmas presents combined. Funny that I only recently realised that.
Hair still reasonably long. I count my blessings that the hair hasn’t abandoned me. Lively brown with a streak of grey, creeping from the roots. Thought I’d try and fight it with dye, but I had better idea - They say that fine wine are better in age, I suppose that’s exactly what I am, a fine wine. Every so often, I pull out my fine comb, a bit of water and ease it back before I go out on my day to day business.
Stopped exercising long enough to maintain the high standards standards that wow the crowds and woo the ladies. Don’t have time for it, and doctor told me to go easy on the weights. But I still try and maintain the fit and healthy body. A little hair around the chest but that’s all part of the masculine flair. My lady friend talked about a ‘dad bod’ I suppose that would be easily be described, but I describe it as mature. Still see the outline of the abs, but gravity and age had gotten rather jealous maintaining my form over my young days.
Now, what do I wear? A bit of this, a bit of that. Never wear those Kimono, too fancy for me. Never once I have resorted in wearing Kimono, Instagram can vouch for me on that. I still got a wide variety set of clothes in my wardrobe, many are suit personally made by Armani, but I question if it a few size too big for me. Couldn’t have the heart to bin it, I could get it altered, at least one of them is perfect for my funeral.
Nowadays I just dressed casually. Self-employed to go to and most of my friends are still on the road. So I just wear a Grey Tapered Jeans a black waistcoat with a white shirt underneath, all but one buttoned up, sleeves rolled up neatly. You bet I still hold a high standard, even in casual wear. If things get a little posh, I just take a jacket that’s all fit and snug In the winter, a black snorkel parka jacket - still got a soft spot for those jacket. You can take a man out of Canada, but you can never take Canada out of him. I also wear a dark brown low top trainers. There are times when I need my dose of light exercise, so I wear a matching grey sweat-pants and a hoodie and a white trainers. No more, no less. My fancy days is long gone.
How do you describe my voice? Masculine , deep, almost as if it been swilled and set in whiskey long enough to enrich the baritone voice in me. We got there in the end, but you’re right. Young years, we had all the time in the world, drank enough cocktail of alcohol. Despite the deep tone, there’s still tiredness in them, can’t talk too much or else it’ll just break and wither like everything else. Need them breaks in between, good thing I’m not an active talker.
On the upside, my wood still something to dream about.
Spiritual Description: Going to talk about that, huh? Well, it’s strange. I’ve heard other people with paranormal heebie jeebies their spiritual pressure is wild, like fire. Well, it’s anything but fire. It’s like a wave coursing through my body, every waves it made a weird throbbing noise, kinda scary if you ask me. The best way to describe the weird noise is like an unnatural groaning whoosh followed by a crunch. It occurs every five seconds and it kicks up whenever I kick off like that. Thankfully just the noise is enough to send those black luchadors in with their tails between their legs.
The colours of the waves of my soul is, well, colourful! It’s entirely random. Fickle, forever changing, much like the Aurora Borealis.
[ BEHIND THE EYES ]
Personality: There are three things that positively define me: Disciplined, Self-reliant, Peaceful. If you go about with your life with a chip in your shoulder, you won’t get anywhere in life – no sir, no how.
The five things that negatively define me: Envious, Sarcastic, Narcissist, Arrogant and Stubborn. Now why you think I have more negative than positive? Well, rimming yourself on just positive personality would only make you half a man.
I love myself. A fact that I knew from the beginning – and if they put in a little more work on themselves, I’m sure that they will come to love their identity too. I worked hard to get people to look at me, but do I think it worth it? I don’t think so. I feel the people are not looking at me, so I keep working harder. Pushing myself to be much more capable than I was five years ago, constantly reinvent myself. Shape myself as a ipod rather than a stereo that eats cassette.
More about me? Well, I love people for who they are. I love listening to their story, I want people to come to me and say, “hey Irvine. I need your suggestions.” I love that. I, as a man of skills want to see myself valued and always willing to part knowledge, but that rarely happens. When it does, I will remember it. I care for their wellbeing, especially the young cubs. They’re the future, you gotta protect them. Nurture them to find who they really are. Of course, It doesn’t mean that I am always trusting. There are steps that even I won’t be willing to plant my feet on – and if those steps crumble, I’ll take a different direction. Simple as that. Duck off water’s back and I won’t interact with them any longer, but not before I make them fall.
My opinions on Law and Order? Well: I’ve done enough crimes that would get me jailed for years and be kicked out of Japan. My motto is ‘it is not illegal until you get caught’. It doesn’t mean that I think Murder is right. Escaping from the law requires immense wit and nerves of steel – something that should be respected.
You think of me as detached? [must finish]
Now we’re getting into the more secretive part? I am needy. I want to be around someone. I cannot tolerate being alone. If needs must, I can endure it, but not for long. We’re never meant to roam around the world without a single interaction, we’d wilt away like an abandoned potted flower.

Quincy Cross:
Power: A brief (1-2 sentences) summary of your power. This only needs to be as complex or as simple as you want it to be, but remember that the full write up belongs in your second post!
Spirit Weapon: Made purely from the surrounding Reishi, your spirit weapon is the tool in which you fight with. Typically speaking, this is a ranged weapon or something that has ranged capabilities. Starting out, the weapon should be relatively vague and not a “physical” object. It isn’t until you have a refined Spirit Weapon (second release) that your weapon takes on a physical form
[ LEGACY CREATED ]
Origin: Each of these three sections should be at least a full paragraph (5-7 complete sentences). In your origin, you should talk about where your character was born and the circumstances of their childhood
Rise to Power: Rise to Power should include how your character came to find their powers and/or the training involved in mastering their control over the Reishi around them.
Call to Action: This is where you talk about the event(s) that made your character shift from an NPC to a player character. For whatever reason, they need to be pulled away from the daily grind and put into the spotlight. In this section, you’ll want to highlight that event(s) and justify why your character is they way they are today.
