Name: Ashador
Alias: "Potshot"
Sex: Male
Age: 25
Race: Dark Elf
Appearance: Wears a worn cowboy duster and hat with rugged leather armor underneath. The duster and hat are a sand colored brown while the leather armor is a dark gray color(Basically the guy on the cover of Fallout: New Vagas with a cowboy hat instead of a face mask). He would be about 5'11" to 6'1" in hight and have a light build. His hair is silver and shaggy and comes down to just past his shoulders. He has an eye patch covering his left eye that he uses as a heads up display to run calculations for long distance shots as well as providing night vision and thermal vision(Much like Snake's from MGS4). There are also three noticable scars protruding from underneath the eye patch. He ususally carries his crossbow by resting it over his right shoulder. He almost always has a cigar in his mouth whether it is lit our not.
Weapon: Rapid fire, pneumatic powered, cross bow with a scope. Holds 25 arrows in a revolving cylinder towards the front of the bow which can be removed and replaced very quickly with the air tank, which supplies the power for the bow, positioned directly behind it encased in the housing of the stock of the bow. There is a hinge just behind the cylinder that allows the bow to break away for quick and easy air tank replacement. There is also a small pressure gage built into the top of the stock to designate how much pressure is left in the air tank. It also has a standard scope that can magnify up to 10x and has dials on the top and side to adjust magnification and focus. He can fire a varying number of different kinds of arrows by channaling his energy into the arrows as he fires them. These arrows are more powerful than the average arrow fired from the bow and can have different effects.
Personality: Ashador has always been quite around others especially people he doesn't know. When he does speak he tends to be very blunt sometimes overly so and doesn't think of the ramifications of his words on the people around him. He tends to stay to himself even in large groups of people he will try gravitate away from the main group. He usually has a blank expressionless demeanor and he usually never smiles, and he almost always has a small cigar in his mouth however he doesn't smoke it unless he is in a situation or place that permits it. He is also rather cold toward anyone who asks about his scars because it brings up a darker portion of his past.
He didn't always used to be like this however, he used to be a much more happy go lucky type and also used to have a more outgoing personality. While not unheard of it is very rare for him to open up to anyone like this again due to his troubled past. However if there is someone who shares his interests and that he enjoys being around it is possible for signs of his former self to come through. he also has a great sense of loyalty toward those people that he does consider friends which is why he took up the alias "Potshot" in honor of a fallen comrade.
Personal History: Ashador grew up in a portion of The Depths that was run rampant with necromancers and as such zombies and many types of other demons. He had learned from a young age to wield a cross bow in order to defend himself from the near constant onslaught of undead horrors. As he grew into a teenager his skills with the cross bow grew as well as his appitite for hunting necromancers and zombies. He grew so fond of it that he would often go out of his way on a daily basis to go into the no-man's-land outside his village and destroy legions of undead and demons just for kicks and without promise of reward. For this he was regarded as reckless by the elders of the village and was honord by many of the younger dark elves as a hero and local legend. He also had a partner with many the of the same skills, reputation, and personality as him named Jatrei Jenkins who had earned the title "Potshot" from other adventurers and malitia men who had worked with him for his tendency to miss horribly on precise shots. One day while Jatrei and Ashador were on a usual romp through the no-man's-land they came across a strange cave system that had some obvious signs of necromancer activity. So without any regard for their own well being they dashed into the cave and split up in a contest to see who could kill the necromancer first. Unfortunatly for Ashador he had taken a wrong turn and became hopelessly lost within the cave for several hours, when he had finally made it out of the cave he had been expecting to hear Jatrei taunting him over his victory, however as he stepped out there was no one there waiting for him. While Jatrei was never really know for his shooting he was known for his tracking abilities and sense of direction, Ashador knew something else had to be wrong and rushed back into the cave. He finally came upon the necromancer's chamber and found that the situation was much worse than he feared for this was no ordinary necromancer this was a powerful Lich, and slumpd on the floor at the foot of the Lich was the corpse of Jatrei which began to seize and convulse violently and as quckily as it had started it stopped. Ashador rushed to his friend's body, as he knelt down and approched it to roll it over Jatrei suddenly sprang to life and clawed Ashador across his left eye with fetid claws. Ashador sprang to his feet and stumbled backwards, horrified and enraged at what he was seeing he sat in awe for a moment, Jatrei had been turned into the one thing they had both hunted since they were young, a zombie. The Lich had finally noticed Ashador and turned towards him taunting him about what had happened to his friend saying "Ah, I see you have gotten reacquainted with your friend if you would like you could join him in undeath," and as he finished he began charging a blast of dark energy. As if the taunt weren't bad enough the thought of becoming what he had been killing for so many years made something snap inside Ashador, with blood now streaming down his face and with a grim and fierce demeanor he simply raised his cross bow and pulled the trigger filling the entire chamber with a blast of energy so strong it caused an earthquke in the surrounding areas. After that he passed out expecting to wake up in the cold embrace of undeath, but he didn't instead he awoke in a jail cell. Apparentlly a malitia unit was nearby when he destroyed the Lich and felt the tremors, upon investigating the tunnel system all they found was Ashador and the charred remains of Jatrei. Unsure of whether to call it a murder or a mishap Ashador was exiled from his home out of fear for his new found and dangerous power.
Now five years later he roams the earth wandering from place to place never staying in one area to long. He has become reclusive usually staying out of other's affairs unless he is dragged into them against his will. He has also trained himself to control this new found power and to use it to his advantage using it to create new types of arrows for him to use. He has also become somewhat of a wanted man for keeping up with his old past time of finding and killing zombies, demons, and particularly necromancers. However he now hunts them out of anger and revenge rather then the sport of it, and since the later tend to be secretive about their activities many of his kills have been seen as the murder of innocents to the locals. He has even been approached by the New Day Company on a number of occasions to be hired as an assassin however he has refused them at every turn since he doesn't view himself as one nor does he agree with many of its ventures. He has been able to make a modest living in the Outskirts by performing odd jobs during the day and demon hunting when he can. He has become somewhat of a fixture in the Outskirts as there are very few dark elves outside of the Depths and fewer still are genrerally known in the community.
Power Description:
Attack 1: Power Arrow- Launches a Power arrow at the traget which is only slightly stronger than an average arrow and is his most common form of his energy arrows. Commonly manifests itself as a white aura around the head and shaft of the arrow.
Attack 2: Explosive Arrow- Luanches an exploding arrow at the target causing a large amount of damage to the intended target as well as a smaller amount of splash damage to any enemy within five yards of the explosion. The arrow itself appears to pulse a bright red when fired and then explodes into a small fireball when it hits something. The splash damage would be more from the arrow shattering into shrapnel than any sort of shock wave and the amount of damage the shrapnel would cause would likely be minimal.
Attack 3: Charge Arrow- You have to think about this one like the X-Buster from the Mega Man X series as well as in tandem with the normal arrows and the Power Arrow. A normal arrow would be the average blast from the X-buster, the Power Arrow would be the small charge blast, and this would be the fully charged blast. As the arrow charges the entire bow begins emitting light which becomes stronger with the more energy that is stored until it reaches full capacity. When fired the charged arrow looks exactly like the charge shot from the Mega Man X series however this one has an arrow at the center of it. The attack would take a post to charge and two posts to cool down before being able to use any of his energy arrows again.
Well that ought to be it for mine I think the personality section could be a bit longer and overall it's kinda unpolished, but maybe one of these days I will come back and fix some stuff.
