"I am your worst, I am your worst nightmare"
I realize that this thread is a little old, but I found the idea behind it fascinating. I know my character's backstory may not fit the KH canon (my RP char comes from Aztec origins), but I would be happy to tweak him if need be.
Name: Eztli (Aztec word for “bloodâ€)
Title: TBD
Age: 659 (looks 28)
Gender: Male
Side: Neutral; Eztli is an assassin so he truly doesn't care as long as he gets paid.
Ranking: Doesn’t matter to me ^_^

Weapon: Macuahuitl. A more modernized version the Aztec weapon. The original obsidian shards have been replaced with misshapen steel shards (the obsidian shards were known to break off after their use) to increase trauma caused by a successful strike. Eztli wields it similar to a 2-handed sword and when he strikes an opponent, he draws it through like a saw through wood.
Element: Blood. The Aztec’s had a fascination with blood, often sacrificing captured soldiers to appease their gods. Eztli was given his name by the Aztecs when they attempted to sacrifice him as a young boy (he was captured by Aztecs following an attack on his village), his blood didn’t drain as fast as others. This was before he realized the extent of his powers, rather it was his body defending itself without Eztli’s knowledge or conscious provocation. Over time, Eztli was able to perfect this ability of increasing his body’s ability to clot blood. Although he is able to do this, it does not make him invincible. Through his training, his body lost the ability to act on its own and he became only able to manipulate his blood through conscious thought. He becomes incredibly fatigued when manipulating his blood and makes other parts of his body much more vulnerable to attacks (he has to draw blood to the affected area making strikes to other parts of his body extremely effective). In addition to controlling his body’s own ability to clot blood, Eztli is also able to affect the ability of his enemies’ blood platelets. He can force his opponent’s blood platelets to either clot higher up from the place he attacked (for ex. if he strikes someone in their forearm, he can cause their blood to start clotting in their veins at their shoulder, making their arm become useless) or by destroying his enemies platelets, making them lose all ability to clot a wound. This serves as a sort of fast acting poison. Before battle, Eztli coats the shards of his macuahuitl in his own blood (carried in a small flask/canteen) in order to utilize the above abilities (ie causing enemies blood to clot in the wrong place or destroying their platelets).
Appearance: Eztli has tanned skin (think tanned beach lifeguard) and long black hair which remains mostly unseen as he wears a jaguar headpiece with colorful feathers coming out of the back of it (Jaguar warrior - Jack Farrell by Jangelles on DeviantArt). He wears garb similar to that of Jaffar from Fire Emblem: The Blazing Sword, but does not have a cloak (https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct...yADUsOqzHcSx47CQCNW27tQg&ust=1477986205287815) and instead of the cloth being black, it is a light aqua blue (to blend in with both the trees and sky). Eztli stands about 5’10 feet tall and has an athletic build (not like ripped pecs and a 12 pack, but a solid frame due to his stringent training regiment). He has dull gray-blue eyes that show no emotion (most likely due to the horrors he has committed). His upper body is coated with traditional tattoos, including a full tattoo of the Aztec calendar given to him by the High Priest which was supposed to increase his powers (I don’t wanna say tribal tat style….but yeah they basically are). He also does not wear shoes as to be even stealthier when tracking and taking out his targets.
Personality: Even before Eztli became a Nobody, he had no friends merely acquaintances. He was brought up primarily in solitude, only interacting with military strategists and the High Priest as he was trained to become the royal assassin. After he murdered his teacher however, he found that anyone close to him could be taken out if his Emperor wished it and decided to distance himself from anyone he came into contact with, realizing how disposable they could become. He is hard to interact with in any way, shape, or form due to this.
Bio: Eztli was given his name by the Aztecs when they attempted to sacrifice him as a young boy (he was captured by Aztecs following an attack on his village), his blood didn’t drain as fast as others. This was before he realized the extent of his powers, rather it was his body defending itself. Over time and under the tutelage of an Aztec High Priest, Eztli was able to perfect this ability of increasing his body’s ability to clot blood. He quickly rose through the ranks of the military and ultimately became the personal assassin for the Emperor. His tasks were mainly focused on political assassinations, assassinations of military leaders, and the assassinations of priests. The Emperor did not discriminate when it came to assassinations, setting Eztli on both enemies and allies, even those in the Emperor’s community/city. Eztli became consumed with darkness when he was forced to assassinate the High Priest who trained him when the Emperor discovered he was gathering a small army to carry out a coup and overthrow the Emperor. Upon completing his task, Eztli’s heart became a void and he assumed the role of a nobody. Thanks to his ability to replenish his blood at astonishing rates, Eztli survived through the takeover of the conquistadors (and the diseases they brought) and has a much greater lifespan than that of a normal human (he is not immortal/invinceable, but he does not age at the same rate as others, similar to the way in which Hellboy ages). As time passed and civilizations fell and arose, Eztli’s services were carried on from ruler to ruler. He gained reputation throughout the surrounding territories and was treated as royalty, but no amount of drink nor women nor money could satisfy him. It was because of his realization that he was a Nobody that he was able to continue his violent operations for centuries without a sliver of remorse.
Other:
Fighting style: Eztli’s fighting style is reminiscent to that of the Aztec’s. He uses the element of surprise on his enemies, preferring to strike quickly rather than engaging in drawn out battles. He uses the traditional style of the Aztec’s when using the macuahuitl, striking his opponent with a two handed strike and, if his strike lands, dragging the weapon along the hit area (much like using a saw). This causes massive trauma on his enemies.
Don't get me wrong, I'd love the idea of an rp, I'm just worried about it falling flat on its face.
