"You think I care about your petty little arguments?"

0 · 165 views · located in Xena

a character in “The Fall of the Kingdom of Xena”, as played by SyringeofHell

Description

Name: Mithras
Age: 46
Status: Rich
Species: Human
Type: Techno-mage

Looks: Mithras is a highly austere-looking man. He has replaced both his eyes with technological replacements, and so often hides these behind mirrored glasses. Said eyes can focus in on objects/people, sense magic, and can be switched to nightvision if he so wishes. Like his eyes, his ears are also augmented.

He's made many enhancements on himself, both technological and magical. He has had his spine protected by metal casing which can unsheathe sharp blades as a defense from people who wish to stab him in the back. After a nasty incident in a fight with a mage where all his ribs were broken, he has since had them replaced with metal ones. The man has developed a type of magical 'claw' which can appear as an extention of his fingers. They will only appear if he so wishes and can cut through illusions, ghosts, etc. However, they will do no damage to corporeal beings.

Mithras has shaved his hair off, and his bald head is covered in tattoos. that continue down his back, over his shoulders and down his chest. They honestly mean nothing, but he realises people will be intimidated by a man who looks like that.

He is around 6'2 tall and is in good physical condition for his age. However, Mithras is well aware that he grows weaker with age and is past his prime. He relies more on visual trickery to keep people away from him, and magic.

Mithras wears a heavy cape, buckled at the front, a shirt, and trousers tucked into heavy hobnailed boots. He often wears heavy gauntlets on his hands to protect himself whilst working with magic. He wears a long necklace with a raven skull on, once again simply to trick people into thinking he's more intimidating than he is.

Skills: Mithras is an incredibly gifted techno-mage. His creations run on both mechanics and magic. As well as this, he has been trained in the art of combat after his stint as a mage-soldier when he was a young man. He keeps a crossbow in his home, and often enchants the bolts with magic. Alongside this, he carries a longsword. Once again, he tends to use magic on this, much to his advantage, unless the opponent can figure how to nullify magic.

Likes: Mithras mainly enjoys his work. He's quite happy to sit on his own and work on his technological and magical powers for days on end, solving problems. He likes to know how things work and could be considered a bit of a scientist. Although he does this rarely, he also enjoys giving lectures at universities, both on magical theory and mechanics. He loves seeing success more than anything.

Dislikes: Mithras can't stand ignorance, nor pettiness. He's blunt and will never hold back from telling people what he thinks of them. He hates Livids and has often fought with them before. As far as he's aware humans, Acashia and Livids should be able to live in the same lands without fighting. He disdains hubris, as it reminds him of himself when he was younger.

Other: Mithras made his way by joining the army as a mage as a younger man. He quickly discovered his technological powers as well, and discovered he could use his powers to help heal the wounded and also create things to help his comrades. Soon after this, he was picked up by a Master and trained extensively. He makes his money in military and civilian mechanics more than anything, as well as sometimes lecturing at universities.

Personality

Personality: Mithras is a highly intelligent man, very astute. He disdains the petty fighting between Technos and Magis. As someone who holds the powers of both, he views the oncoming civil war as pathetic and has also found himself targeted by both types. He often holes away and does research instead of going into the open.

Cold and often uncaring, Mithras intimidates others with his appearance and his inhuman attitude. Many think he has had his brain replaced with machines, whereas he's simply taught himself to be uncaring. He finds it's much easier not to have emotional attachment to people, as he's not then held back by care.

Under this, however, he does indeed feel for others. He feels greatly for the poor and makes anonymous donations to organisations which can help them. He started life as the child of a pauper and only started to get money when he discovered his powers and used them to help himself. He often feels guilty how, as a hubristic teenager, he left his parents behind. He has tried tracking them to give them money, but they won't accept it from him. Estranged Mithras had to learn to survive on his own.

He has moments of kindness, especially where young people struggling to make their way in the world are concerned. He'll often hire them as help for the summer and teach them a little of what he knows if they're willing to learn. However, he's blunt and if he sees a reflection of his overreaching younger self in them, he won't be afraid of giving lectures. Due to this, he has very few friends and trusts very few people in turn.

So begins...
