Skills/Powers~
Main Ability~ Breathing underwater and swimming faster than most boats can go. Also, his teeth aren't just for show, though his scales are definitely his strong point.
Minor Ability~ His scales are ridiculously hard and able to withstand most attacks.
Minor Ability~ Not only are his teeth extremely sharp, but he is also stronger than the average human and seems to favor using baseball bats when he fights.
Minor Ability~ He actually isn't a bad strategist when he wants to be. He seems to enjoy playing around with the fight than actually coming up with a strategy, though.
Personality~ Innes is really active, though not overly social. Unless he's comfortable being around someone, he's generally pretty quiet. Innes is actually quite artistic and all of his notebooks have some rough sketches and doodles in and on them. Where his father taught him how to fight, his mother instructed him in other things such as how to cook and play guitar and piano. Due to his father's influence, he's always been very fit and active. He's bounced from sport to sport throughout the years, but has always loved rock climbing, or more specifically, bouldering. He was raised to be loyal and patient, though he can have moments, like everyone else, where he loses all that and can be rather short-tempered. He's also rather sarcastic when he finds an opportunity to be, but since most people don't seem to appreciate this, he's found himself toning it down quite a bit more than he used to. He seems to be very protective over women and believes that they ought to be protected and treated with care. He's often found himself going out of his way to help girls and women, even if it gets him in trouble at times. He seems to get angry especially easily when someone's being rude to or annoying/harming a woman. On the other hand, he's willing to be rough towards other men so long as he knows that they can look after themselves.
Bio~ Innes was born in America to Ian Ross, a rather renown fighter that had immigrated from Scotland, and Amu Ross, a Japanese girl that had moved there with her family. He grew up in a village where his father decided to teach people how to defend themselves. Learning the tricks of fighting all while he was growing up, Innes quickly became a regular in fights among the village children, though is was usually instigated by them teasing him about his foreign roots. In an attempt to keep him from fighting so much, his mother taught him how to play guitar and piano as well as cook and draw. Being taught "women's' work" of course only got the boy into more fights. This went on until Innes' late teen years.
Although nothing was wrong in the village or with Innes' family when he received the Alchemist's message, he still resolved to go. Staying meant following in his father's footsteps and being trapped inside the walls of the village. Going meant adventure and potential fame and fortune; it was only natural that he decide to go. What he found when he got there definitely wasn't what he was expecting.
Posting Example~
(This is an excerpt from a Vampire Knight roleplay I was in, where Innes was a prefect.)
"Didn't I just go to bed a minute ago?" a vague grumble could be heard from beneath a mass of blankets as the alarm clock situated beside the form blared its morning tune.
After several half-hearted attempts at hitting the snooze button through the comforter, another less-intelligible grumble could be heard before the body beneath the blankets struggled to free himself from their entanglement. After a minute, a body that could be vaguely recognized as Innes Ross, one of the school prefects, was released. Yanking the alarm clock's plug out of the wall, Innes grinned triumphantly.
"Take that, you noisy bugger." it wasn't that he minded mornings, but the moments of waking up and escaping bed always seemed like too much effort to Innes.
Within fifteen minutes he was showered and dressed, his uniform put on neatly. His only quarrel with the outfit was that due to school regulations, and him being a prefect, he wasn't allowed to wear his beanie with his uniform. After roughly running a brush through his unruly brown hair, Innes pulled on his prefect armband and headed out toward the cafeteria.
After a quick breakfast, he was surprised to see that Hikari had left without him. Jogging outside, he did his rounds, taking care of the odd lost student or troublemaker. It almost startled him, how quickly it seemed to get dark. With a sigh, he made his way toward the Night Class dorms.
A large swarm of Day Class students had already gathered around the dorm door, though more were continuing to gather. He was about to make his way to the front when he spotted a girl getting hit by the crowd. Taking off in a sprint, he ducked and wove through the crowd and barely made it in time to catch the rather bodacious blonde before she hit the ground.
"Aha! Just in time!" he grinned as he helped the girl back up to her feet.
He recognized the girl as the Day Class student, Loreley von Engel. The blonde seemed to hold a special hatred for Innes, which he presently assumed was because he had her beat in height by a meager inch. He was sure there was something else, but that was what immediately came to mind. Personally, he was actually quite fond of her, seeing as how she reminded him of one of his best friends from back in Scotland.
Smiling, he released his light hold on her arm. "You should try to be a bit more careful. It gets pretty rough over here about this time."
Other~ Innes is likely going to be very protective over his ring bearer, mostly since she's a girl, but also because she seems especially delicate to him.
