Name: Ranta Laakea

Alias/Nickname: Aero

Age: 31 (About 6 Falcon Years)

Gender: Male

Race: Falcon in Home World, Human Otherwise

Alignment: Neutral

Origin: Pride Lands

Appearance:

General:
Aero, as this bird likes to go by in the human world, stands a lanky six feet. His features are long, yet muscular enough to keep himself from being clumsy. Whilst he isn’t a muscle man of any sort, Aero does have strong arm and leg muscles, or if nothing else, a tad bit stronger then average.

Face:
A tuff of white hair is the first thing you might notice about Aero. Kept short, it is just long enough for it to be a tad bit spiky, trying to lift up. This hair is the color of snow, ironic as it is for a bird that lived in the desert heat of Africa. Also, Aero has a small matching white goatee on his chin.

Below the short bangs of hair, are a pair of eyes still encrusted with the falcon’s pupil. The pupil is pure, ominous black, while the eye color shifts from nature green to light brown depending on the surroundings. Sometimes they even blend. Aero possesses a small, petite nose and two thin lips, true to his world. He is not exactly handsome, but it works.

Clothing:
Being a bird in first nature, Aero finds having to where cloths to be a strange ordeal. However, he manages. He doesn’t exactly like it, but it’s better then being pointed out for simply being what a creature is at every blaring world.

Aero wears a black short-sleeved shirt over a long-sleeved white sweater. Oblivious to heat because of his life in the Pride Lands, Aero barely notices how black makes worlds much hotter. The shirt is adorned with random white marks and streaks, with the occasional African word such as “nyuni” or “ubawaw.” The same goes for the outer sleeves, except for in inverse color.


As for his bottom, Aero wears nothing more then some white cargo pants, and black sandals. To match his top (this just occurred by chance) the pants also have random black streaks and marks, also with words. It almost resembles a surfer look.

Other:
Aero wears a light gray shoulder-strap made of leather. This strap holds his arrows at the bottom right, and his personal glider at on his back. Also, because he is a bird to some extent, Aero has hollow bones. He weighs a mere fifty pounds, despite his size. Yet, he has all muscle, giving the capabilities to jump well over five feet, and be very agile. Not superhuman, but a tad bit faster then average.


Personality: Meh, Ill leave this alone for now. Might as well try this “develop as you go along” thing.

Class: Defender

Weapons:

Weapon Name: Bow & Arrows

Weapon Description:
A bow made of hollow bone, this bow was made in Africa when Aero underwent his “change.” The string is woven spider string, nearly unbreakable and extremely flexible. The bone, however, has been melted with other flexible material, making it perfect more shooting.

The arrows that the bows are fired from are made from none other then bird bone. The elephant graveyard is home to many vulture wings, and with bone being a very durable material, these arrows are capable of going through an inch of wood. And even if they were to shatter, the speed of the shards would be enough to at least poke a few eyes out.

Unique Notes:
When the ability “Haastig” is activated, these arrows are capable of peircing through metal due to the wind literally forming another lair for peircing, creating a two-hit sequence.

-

Weapon Name: Glider

Weapon Description:
Not exactly a weapon, but more of a means of transportation for Aero. Aero is used to gliding in the air, and hunting his prey. But, being a human and flying requires a great deal of work without wings, so Aero developed a crude battle flying machine. A pair of wings made of enchanted feathers roll up on Aero’s back. When a string is pulled, these wings expand. Whilst in his human state, Aero can only lift himself about a foot off the ground, this is usually used with the ability “Sprong” thus enabling Aero to raise himself up to regular flying height and glide.

Unique Notes:
When gliding, the ratio of glide is about 1:20, two feet of drop for every twenty feet of flight. The wings can’t be harmed by weak physical attacks, and remain stationary. The only way to “flap” them is to grasp them by the end and pull down, so they are near useless if not for Sprong.

-

Weapon Name: Kort & Lang

Weapon Description:
Kort & Lang are a pair of bone swords that are identical if not for the length. Used for close combat, Kort measures two feet in blade, with the handle another six inches. The handle is no more then a tightly bound black cord wrapped at the bottom. Land is identical, except for the blade length is extended another foot.

Unique Notes:
The bones are sharpened to be like real swords.

Abilities:

Base Ability: Air

Sub Abilities:

~Haastig~
When activated, nothing visible happens. Haastig is general African for “Rapid.” And, that it is. All offensive weapons gain a secondary edge made of air. This makes it to where anytime a weapon, whether it be an arrow or a sword, strikes, it is dealing two-hits in one. All weapons gain maximum cutting power, such as being able to tear through metal with ease. Haastig has no limit, other then the fact that anything over half-a-foot of metal would be nigh impossible to pierce in one hit. Two or three on the same spot, and it would be possible. The second lair that forms over the edges is about an inch wide/long, and provides the increased razor-edge cutting.

~Sprong~
Aero, by making the air around his feet swirl in a rapid manner, and then releasing it downwards quickly, can send him up into the air about a hundred feet or so, nearly invisible to the naked eye from the ground. However, being a falcon, Aero has great experience in the air, and spotting things from above is nothing new to him. Whilst this is not an ability, Aero is capable of spotting a rat in the grass from one hundred feet, and a human would be as simple as shooting a target from point blank; you can’t miss.

~Klap Ver~
Aero can release powerful bursts or air from his hands and feet at random moments. They are powerful enough to push someone away, but not cause any real harm. However, by releasing these from his feet, Aero can slide along the ground at a fast pace. When cast from his hands, this will push Aero in the direction opposite to what they were cast. This is like a sprinting version of Slide Dash, but just using air.

History:

The Pride Lands would be Ranta Laakea’s homeland. Born as a simple peregrine falcon, Ranta lived at the very top of Pride Rock, totally safe from predators. There had long been a pact saying that all hunting must be done outside of Pride Rock. Any residents that lived in, or near Pride Rock were safe from the lion’s untamed anger lest they do something to anger them.

Scar, however, in his corrupt rule, broke this pact. Anything was game, even the lions themselves. Day after day, they would murder the lions who stood for pride and honor, just to put to the example that it was either to follow the black lion, or to be against him. Obviously, most chose to follow him just to stay alive.

However, the birds on top of Pride Rock had no choice. The falcon’s relocated to the oasis, far away from Scar and his corruption. They lived in the jungle, eating tropical bugs and rodents for food. Ranta’s mom was killed as she was driving off a prowling lion cub being led by a rat and a hog of some sort.

So, with father Falcon’s abandoning they’re children at hatching time, Ranta had to learn ho to fend for himself. Many long days he would spend hunting, fending for not only himself, but his siblings as well. He was the first fledgling, and thus was the first one to be able to fly. His skills for accuracy and calmness under even under the fastest of speeds developed quickly.

Years went by, hunting, fighting, staying alive. Whilst his siblings did abandon him, it is harder to feed a peregrine falcon then you would think.

Then, Sora came. A brown lion, the savior of the Pride Lands. Whilst Ranta had no idea of Sora’s presence, the key wielder managed to effect him greatly.

Ranta, around the time Sora had sealed the heart to the Pride Lands, had found the world door, and was traveling through it by the corridors of darkness. When the heart closed as Ranta was leaving the Pride Lands and taking upon a human form, he was transformed only half-way. Ranta did not gain the ability to speak in the universal language that allow people from other worlds to converse, nor did he gain the regular bone structure of humans.

So now Ranta, who goes by Aero (a nickname given to him by some random person in some other random world) travels. He explores the worlds, being intrigued and amazed. However, his speech really makes it hard to do anything other then look.
-----------------------
.other.info.
Aero cannot speak in English, or converse with anyone who can’t speak African. So, throughout the RP, he will only speak in African using this translator.

Hierdie sal pret wees, eh?

Sprong
When you say "Whilst this is not an ability, Aero is capable of spotting a rat in the grass from one hundred feet, and a human would be as simple as shooting a target from point blank; you can’t miss.", is that a reference purely towards spotting the human or does it also include being able to shoot them with deadly accuracy from that range as well? Just wishing to clarify.

[donald2]

The latter. He was a falcon, seeing small things accurately is what he does.

[Medy]

Yes, I understood that, my question was whether he can still shoot with deadly accuracy from that range, not whether he could see them as if they were only a few metres away at such a distance.

[donald2]

Oh, sorry. He can shoot with mildly deadly accuracy. He may aim for the neck, but might hit an arm or a leg instead. He will hit his target, but probably not exactly where he aimed it.

[Medy]

Everything's cool here then.

Approved, locked and moved.
