Name: No. 9, Exis
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Title: The Scheming Echo
Weapon:
The Double-Bladed Sword:
Exodus.
Sound
Skills:
Exis is naturally skilled at using the Exodus, able to expertly wield the dangerous weapon without harming himself. (Well I say that, but there have been times when he came close to chopping off a limb or two) He doesn't rely too much on Exodus anyway, instead preferring to cripple his foes using his power over sound. He can control the frequency of sounds, but only sounds that he generates. In this way, he can intensify the sound of a snap of the fingers to a ridiculously high frequency, dazing the opponent. In addition, he is a master of sound-based magic such as Silence, which mutes the enemy and prevents them from casting any magic, and Sonic, a one-time use spell that allows him to travel at the speed of sound for a split second. One of his most devastating attacks is his Boom Blast, which creates a sound wave so powerful it's like a shockwave, blasting the enemy and anything around it. Boom Blast takes up a lot of energy, however, so it's a last resort for Exis.
He's also naturally speedy and agile, easily able to dodge attacks. He can be resourceful during battle as well, using his weapon and magic in unique ways to get out of tough situations.
Weaknesses:
Exis may be a tough opponent, but if you can get a few hits on him he's basically done for. His defense isn't even worth talking about, and he could probably never make it in a fair fight, as he relies almost entirely on Exodus and his sound powers to win. Also, he has a tendency to underestimate most people he fights, so he'll go easy on them when he first meets them. When faced with a tough opponent this can be very disadvantageous. He may end up getting seriously injured before he realizes he has to go all out.
Exis only fights when he has to. That means he'll avoid a fight when he can. This wouldn't be a problem, unless he didn't take to inadvertently taunting enemies instead. Exis takes great pleasure in messing with his enemies's minds by mocking them or feeding them lies, but by doing this he often ends up angering them, and making them more likely to attack him. He would never actually bother to strike back unless they managed to get a hit on him, which would make him angry and prompt him to counterattack. However even if they attack first, he can quickly dodge, so that's unlikely.
By far Exis's greatest flaw, however, is the defect he has with his ears. He isn't sure what it is or what the cause is, but it seems that whenever he isn't listening to White Noise, he gets a huge migraine, and becomes unable to move at all. To counter this strange affliction, he wears headphones 24/7, which play a continuous loop of white noise. It's just background noise, so he can still hear everything else. But if you can knock those headphones off him, he's basically immobilized, at which point you can go in for the kill.
Personality:
Exis is a very selfish individual. He cares little for anyone but himself, and his main concerns are his own problems. He doesn't really care for 'the big picture', and doesn't like to think about things too much because he's too busy dealing with his own issues. He'll only do something for someone if there's something in it for him, though there isn't much he cares to have, and he certainly isn't very materialistic, so there's not normally much a person can offer that he'd care about. He has a personal goal in mind after all, which is what he's focused on most of the time, and usually won't care about much unless it'll help him achieve this certain goal.
Exis really wishes he was a normal person. He hates being a Nobody, but is too afraid to kill himself because of the knowledge that there awaits nothing on the other side for one such as him. He bears some resentment towards the Syndicate for forcing him into their ranks, but only continues to work for them because they provide him with food, a place to stay, and the means to achieve his ultimate goal. Naturally, the end justifies the means with Exis, so he'll do whatever he has to to achieve his goal, no matter who stands in his way.
Exis does the minimal amount of work required of a Syndicate member, but when that's done and over with he's a freelancer. Exis doesn't adhere by anyone's rules if they get in his way, and that includes those of the Syndicate, so most of the time he continues his search on his own, without the Syndicate's permission.
Lastly, he Exis takes great pleasure from playing with people's minds. He's a naturally deceptive person and loves to lie to people, as well as anger them and confuse them, just for the fun of it. If asked he'll say he just loves the look on their faces. He won't go looking for an opportunity to mess with people's minds, but given one he's sure to seize it.
