Harlow's RP characters

[Harlow]

I feel like I should redo my character thread from scratch. Lots of updating and rewriting to do, so here I'll try again.

I seldom enter the RP world, but it's fun when it happens, so just in case, I'll leave info here.

 

Most of them are based in the SF universe, but I can edit that if needed.

 

Comments, advice and critiques are very much welcome.

 

Name: Lennox Satsura

Gender: Male

Race: Jaguar

Age: 26

Height: 5' 9" (1.75 m)

Weight: 151 pounds (68.5 kilos)

Build: Medium build, "muscle-skinny" (body looks rather defined for lack of fat)

Eye Color: Golden

Ethincity: Unknown. Will claim mixed Fortunan.

Hair/Fur: Lower back-long straight hair; akin to a metalhead, Dark Brown. Rusty Golden fur with large dark brown rosettes all over. Fades into a bone color patch from lower neck to lower abdomen.

 

Marks: Scars on his limbs from multiple wounds and bruises. Naturally raspy voice

 

Family: Not known. Severed ties for this reason.

 

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral. Type 4. He decides what's wrong or right and is highly cynical and headstrong. Will fight and argue with anyone who butts heads with him.  May favor some species over canids.

 

Abilities:

Chronic liar and a great con artist. Can speak his way around most trouble and get his way. Improved astuteness and very manipulative. Has refined talents when it comes to finance and persuasion. Hard to break into him and get information from him.  Resistence to pain, infuencing and addictions.

 

He likes to change and experiment with fur and eye colors and different styles, even bending into other feline species. He can pass undetected or create a new reputation in the same area at the same time.

 

Musically talented, sings well and finds his way around instruments. This also means he can change his tone of voice ever so slightly or a completely new one without sounding phony.

 

Weaknesses:

Not a pysichal fighter or gun-savvy. Has to rely on others, outfoxing, defense and blunt objects. Sometimes he just escapes from it all.

 

He's not made for teamwork. His personality and bluntness will more likely get in the way or in the bad side of others.

 

Background:

Orphan and sheltered since birth, Lennox learned the ugly way to survive, the reason being he was commonly picked on and shunned by others, effectively rendering him asocial and a vagrant.

At age 14, Lennox ran away to Fortuna, and came across their big, complicated world of undergound crime and mafia. After some time of freelance work, he rose through the ranks and had not only gained the trust of one of the top criminal heads around; Ovidiu Sandulescu, but, since being legally adopted by him, a surname and access to great numbers of money and illicit articles he could call his own. All these affairs grew prosperous and unchallenged over time. Lennox's efectiviness created the trend of "godsons", underage orphans used for various comissions. It was his life for six more years.

 

It all went down when an Independence war came to an uncontroled stage. Corps from all around Lylat not only were called for help, but delcared war against all those underground men and women. Many people he knew, including his legal guardian, were terminated, and many godsons either ran away or we're convicted. Lennox almost died, but managed to escape and had to start again from scratch, eventually changing his surname. (No reason for his current one, just thought it was cool)

Since then, he's on his way to having a stable home and identity in Fortuna, in the same land the war tore apart, now being a peaceful and independent community that divided Lylat's opinion.

Personality: Snarky, opportunistic and street smart, Lennox's decisions are mostly profit based. Manipulative and shrewd when it comes to business and, if it's needed, people. He tries to be the funnyman, albeit in his own black, sarcastic and ironic humor. He tries to make genuine friendships that may help him in the future and may "save his ass". Relatively open about his past. Brash, Headstong and stubborn as a mule.

 

Likes:

-Smoking. (Big, Fat cigars his norm, very picky with cigarettes)

-Drinking (hard liquor)

-Gambling

-Music (Rock, classic, Metal, Jazz; mostly stuff with lots of instruments. Hard techno as an exception)

-Dying his fur and experimenting with his looks. (Golden Blonde with Fire-red tips is one of his favorite combinations)

 

Dislikes:

-Being called "Lenny" (considers it his pet name for girls. Considers it awkward when someone else uses it) "They both have two syllables, dimwit! If you wanna be a lazy loser, use Knox!"

-Strict Authority, slight aversion to cops and police staff.

-Being bossed around. (Orders he will take, but he won't stand for a drill sergeant)

-Canines can quickly fall into this if not proven otherwise.

-Political correctness
