ASSUMED NAME: Kobanal REAL NAME: Kobanal Thiwarden ALIASES: None. AUTHOR: Robin (kobanal@mailcity.com) OTAKU OF: Makoto. FACTION: Makochanians PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Ht & Wt : 6'3", 250 lbs. Fur color: brown. Eye color: An icy blue. Well built seems to be a good way to describe his physique. Aside from his head, which is canine, and the fact that he's covered in brown fur and had a tail, he'd pretty much look human. I said "had a tail" because it was removed under "mysterious curcumstances". Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that Kobanal is wearing his dark blue armor with the symbol of Jupiter of the breastplate at all times. Kobanal's belt, which is black, has a small metal clasp in the center which has a tiny secret compartment in which he keeps his special Recovery Capsules (described later). His pants are dark green, the color of his family line, and slightly baggy. His boots are black in color with an unusually shaped gold strand going around the boots from front to back. POWERS: Heightened Senses of Hearing and Smell (not really powers) His ears can pick out a sound from as far as 300 ft. and his sense of smell can detect odors that may be undetectable to others. In both cases, the abilities can be nullified if there is too much sensory input to make an accurant detection (for example, his hearing might not be of much use if he were in a boiler room, and his sense of smell wouldn't do much good if he was in an area that was full of many different kinds of smells). 1st Power:Thundersword: When used, it can create various effects, ranging from: 1. a bolt of lightning (varying in power, depending on the situation) 2. filling the blade with energy to allow it to cut through almost everything (that, unfortunately can be a bit troublesome, so he's gotta be careful not to REALLY hurt somebody by accident...) 3. Blinding Light. A sudden, intense light blasts from the sword, blinding all within 30' for a while. Takes a moment of concentration to activate. 2nd Power: Magic: Kobanal doesn't have a great deal of training in the Arts, but what he does know can be useful. With his knowledge he can perform the following: 1. Kamehamhea - By placing both hands together, with fingers spread, and shouting the name of the attack, a blast of pure energy can be fired from them. Woe is the NO who gets in its way. 2. Energy Shield - When in battle, he can activate an energy shield to protect him from any attacks (assuming that the attack can be blocked). The shield, however useful it may be, does have a bad side. The energy required to use it is great, thus the shield can only be used a few times each day, 3 to be exact. 3rd Power: Boots: Kobanal's boots can allow him to run at very high speeds when activated. In the open, they can be very helpful, but certainly not in any enclosed area (going face first through a wall at 60 Km/h can put a cramp in anyones' day , know what I mean?) They can also be used to make Kobanal jump really high (averaging about 35-45 feet). EQUIPMENT: Thundersword, Mako-Armour, Speed Boots, 3 Recovery Capsules (which completely refreshes the person who uses it.) and Kenny McCormack, who he uses as a secondary weapon and to use for watching his back. WEAKNESSES: His overconfidance in a fight is his biggest weakness. He may underestimate his opponants, which sometimes results in a quick, humiliating defeat. PERSONALITY QUIRKS: Any comment or joke about dogs results in the hospitalization of the joker. He doesn't have any friends, and that suits him just fine (that's probably due to his violent behavior, but he won't admit it). He seems angry a lot of the time, and that anger is ever-present whenever he talks. Any allies he has, he treats as friends, and can even be a normal, friendly guy. If only he could control his anger, he wouldn't be getting himself into so many dangerous situations. He generally threatens and snaps irritably at the tinyest provocations. Perhaps he's just a little high strung from having his tail cut off.... Oh yeah, and any comments about having part of his ass cut off doesn't "sit" well with him either (WAIT, LET ME REPHRASE THAT!!!) ORIGIN: Unknown.... at least not yet. GOALS: To find the one(s) who removed his tail (Kobanal was unconscious when it happened) and beat the living crap out of them. NOTABLE ALLIES: Makochanians. NOTABLE ENEMIES: No NOTABLE enemies.... Esmerodian Warrior kinda bugs him (thanks to their forced fight) but no one he truly detests.
