Physical appearance: Otto isn’t the biggest kid on the block; he stands at about 5’6” tall, and weighs approximately 135ibs. His build is lean and athletic, though his muscles are only slightly toned. His skin is leaning toward the pale end of things, but not in a glowing, attractive way; he just needs more sun. His head, nose, and ears are of a fairly average shape; and his limbs are slightly shorter than average, complementing his rather unimpressive height. His hands and feet are larger than they should be for his size, and make him look slightly awkward-maybe he’ll hit his growth spurt someday. His eyes are almost black, and his hair is unkempt and definitely black. His hands are scarred slightly in several places, a result of long hours of punching sandbags (and well…people). Aside from his size and slight awkwardness, he could be considered somewhat attractive.
Clothing/Accessories: Otto is most often seen wearing simple clothing. He wears a black t-shirt, black jeans, and black shoes, as well as a black belt with a silver buckle. Over that, he is usually seen wearing a brown jacket(unless it’s too hot…)

~Personality~
As you're walking through the door, you see many sights that influence your mood. The different feelings that suddenly wash over you are many, leaving you with a strange mix of emotions.

Alignment: Neutral Good; Otto is generally a good guy, but he cares little for laws and regulations set down by governments or societies, and will do what he thinks is right regardless of them.
Behavior: Otto is a cheerful and energetic young fellow. He isn’t super hyper, but he doesn’t let the harshness of life get him down. He’s talkative, and enjoys the company of others, and he brings a lighthearted and optimistic viewpoint into the conversation. He’s also lazy, however, and dislikes working in any capacity, though if whatever the physical activity is is fun, Otto won’t have an issue keeping pace. He pretends to be easily tricked and overly trusting; but in reality he is very perceptive, and notices things that many others don’t. He dislikes fighting, and views it as a sort of work; though he’ll do it willingly if he feels there is a reason for it. Somewhat hypocritically, his hobby and favorite pastime is boxing; though he would argue that Boxing isn’t fighting, and that it is, in fact, a sport. His biggest peeve is people calling him short; and those who do are immediately aware of this.
Oh, and he’s also terrified of heights.

Suddenly, a Heartless appears in front of you, brandishing its claws and threatening to attack. You reach for your weapon and equip it, ready to defend yourself.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Combat Gloves-These are gloves made with an enchanted leather than make them as hard as metal. These gloves have holes for his fingers, and allow his hands to breath comfortably, which is a must in battle. The gloves appear on his hands when he fights, and are also enchanted to harm heartless, nobodies, and their ilk. While Otto wears these gloves, his hands are as durable and effective as maces.

~Abilities~
Just as you're about to fight the creature, you feel the power of your ancestors filling you. The strength of a thousand men courses through your veins as you prepare for battle.

/Strong Hammer\
This is a powerful right-straight punch that Otto throws directly at his opponent. By using his energy, He can multiply the force of the punch exponentially; allowing him to deal far more damage than any person should have the right to. This force is purely focused on the point of impact, and has no other effects.
Strength: Weak
Uses: Otto can only throw one of these punches per post, to a maximum of 4 per Thread.
/ Flicker\
In contrast to the Strong Hammer, the Flicker is an incredibly fast left jab. While it doesn’t increase the damage of the punch at all, this ability allows his punches to be thrown at a blurring speed that is very difficult to dodge or block in time. The motion of the strike also appears to bend, making its target nigh unpredictable. One punch probably won’t deal a large amount of damage, but a large succession of these attacks will take their toll on even the toughest opponents.
Strength: Weak
Uses: Otto can throw up to 2 of these punches per post, and as they aren’t very draining, he can use an indefinite number of them in a thread.

Otto was an ordinary fellow for most of his life. He was born in the Bronx, and was raised by fairly respectable parents. As a child, he didn’t take interest in many things; though he was proven to be highly intelligent by IQ tests designed as games. When he turned 12, he saw his first live boxing match with his father, who had gotten the tickets from his workplace. At that match, Otto decided that that was what he wanted to do. He joined a gym, and worked exhaustively to develop his skills as a boxer. At the age of 13, he took the Junior division title match, and was psyched to be moving on to the higher division the next year.
He won his first title match that year as well, but slowly fell behind the other boxers his age due to the fact that he hadn’t grown much at all since he turned 13. He won second place in the featherweight title match the year he turned 15, defeated by his opponent’s superior size and reach. After his defeat, Boxing became more of a pastime than it was his life. He instead threw himself at a different pursuit; computers. As with anything he tried seriously at, he quickly picked up computer skills over the next year while secretly training himself for the next featherweight title match. Of course, the heartless had other plans.
When his world fell to darkness, he had no idea what was going on. He was working in the gym, late at night after his parents had already gone to bed when he heard screams coming from down the street. When he dashed outside to see what was going on, he saw the street flooded with the strange dark creatures, and tried to fight them off with little success. Just as one of them was about to strike the final blow, however, the battle gloves appeared around his hand. After this occurrence, he found he could finally touch the heartless. He proceeded to fight them off until he collapsed from exhaustion. Luckily for him, however, the assault was over. He was sucked into the black vortex overhead, and deposited in Traverse Town.
When he awoke, he found himself in a strange new world. Seeing his opportunity, the young boxer strode out to meet his destiny…

This is also my first character...but I decided to enter him in this contest anyway...why not? If there's a problem with that, just say the word and I'll take him out like a fat kid in dodgeball.
