What Makes You Tick?
National Traits:
Black Magic - Ezekiel's black magick is among the average, he can brew potions, cast spells to harm his foes or help his few allies or his self. His most notable one is bloodmancy. He can also summon long dead creatures, he prefers animals rather than his own people, but wouldn't be against trying to control one of the other nations races.
Shadow Walking - Like most born in under He Without A Name Ezekiek has an alternative form of transportation. That would be to literally walk or rather teleport in the shadows he dwells in. This is far more quick than walking.
Shadow Fighting - A technique he easily learned at the Black Monastery where he spent most of his life. This allows his shadow to spring to life and act his double.
Immunity to Fear - All citizens and members of the Cult are unable to suffer from fear, as their minds are protected from the feeling by their dark God.
Unique Qualities:
Bloodmancy: Ezekiel has the ability to control his own blood, whether it means making it flow slower, clot faster, or act as physical weapons.
Enhanced Senses: Ezekiel has inhuman senses that are so fine he can distinguished what type of being is what.
Shadow Fighting Style: Shaping: By utilize his shadow double he can mold it into whatever form he wishes, usually into some form of weaponry. This ability is not yet perfected and he doesn't use it often in actual combat unless needed a trump.
High Pain Tolerance: Ezekiel's enjoyment of pain has given him a high pain tolerance and could take more than some normal beings. Note he isn't unbreakable he just finds pain pleasurable. Stating, "Pain isn't a distraction, it's a motivation to keep on moving and kill the source of the pain."
Blacksmith: Traveling to lands Ezekiel has learned how to forge weapons, and even created magickal ones for others.
Weaknesses:
Salt: Salt can quickly neutralize Ezekiel’s bloodmancy.
Assault to the six senses: Ezekiel can be quickly taken out by a powerful strike to one of his six senses.
Light: Besides the fact of his enhanced sight, but being born and raised in almost completely darkness strong light throws off Ezekiel's equilibrium. It is completely blinding to him, whereas to some completely manageable and normal. Light can also disperse some of his shadow techniques.
Water: Ezekiel like others dare not go in the water, not because he is afraid, but of knowing his lack of an ability to swim.
Personality: Ezekiel is a very devoted soul and would do anything that goes to the cause of the High Priest or his religion . He is likely to become enraged to anyone who speaks ill of his religion or High Priest. Besides his high devotion he is at times a pretty nice person when he wants to be. He is socially awkward because he keeps to his self and doesn’t like to mess up on words. Ezekiel at times can become panicky when he can’t get something right and is prone to shut down.
He carries no qualms about killing as long as the order comes from the High Priest. His social awkwardness has kept him secluded away from others as he just prefers to be in silent places. Ezekiel has been considered a sick mind because of his obsession with blood and pain. He has even gone as far as to stab himself and let his body go numb before healing.
History: Ezekiel is the son of Meridith and Zekharyah Harkness born in the Black Monastery much to Meridith's disdain. She wanted Ezekiel to be free from this area and once he was born tried to take him away from the Nation of He Without a Name. She was killed by her husband the moment she got to Port Bold. Leaving baby Ezekiel crying in her blood. He was marked and that mark is in the left corner of his neck.
Taken back to the Black Monastery to be trained Zehkaryah never acknowledged his son as anything more than a pupil, so even to this day Ezekiel knows not who his mother or father is and just follows orders. He was quite exceptional in his Shadow Fighting taking out the less advanced students, and only a few intermediate. What could possibly cause this? It would probably be due to his enjoyment of pain making him have a high tolerance.
This set him apart from others as he would willingly take an attack to have an opening at his opponent to someone who had planed a counter for if Ezekiel would have dodged. He is completely devoted to He Without A Name as he has mentally replaced the other as a father figure, never actually telling anyone that of course.
He has only left the Nation of He Without a Name once for five years to learn about other places and finding them all to dull and pointless in comparison to the Nation of He Without a Name. He also picked up blacksmithing. Taking this back to his nation was how he made his money.
