Weapon of Choice

Clawed Gauntlets - Clawed Gauntlets; Vicious looking things with extremely sharp claws going several inches over his own fingers, strapped to his hands and wrists. They're in tip top condition since Li takes very good care of them, and he never allows anyone else to touch them [unless he's ripping them to shreds |D]. Incredibly difficult to break due to magical influence, along with the mysterious material that they're made of.

Character Appearance

Dark blue eyes, dark red around the edges of the iris and pupil. Black tattoo on his cheek, shaped sort of like a lightning bolt. His teeth are very sharp, most noticeably the canines which are more like fangs. Dirty blond hair. Wears a long red shirt that goes over his hands, hiding the gauntlets, and down to mid thigh. A black belt with a gold buckle holds it in place. His hat is red and the belt around it black, gold buckle. His pants are a soft black color. Boots are dark brown, with a strap at the top to keep them from falling down. Red is the color of passion and intensity where he comes from, while black is the color of calm decisions and a strong personality. The scarf-like object around his neck is red and falls across his shoulders, loose around the back and ragged at the edges. Li wears small, gold earrings.

Character Personality

Cruel and sadistic, Li appears to have no morals whatsoever. He'll do anything necessary in order to get what he wants. People are just toys, things to him. He's more then willing to use, abuse, and break them. He enjoys pain; to an extent anyways. Occasionally, he will hurt himself just to get a thrill.

However, he is bored easily and often appears apathetic when he isn't doing something that he likes. Being self centered, he doesn't care about what happens to other people. Which is why he likes experimenting so much, its interesting and he finds out many unique things. He doesn't care what he experiments on, it could be plants, people, or animals. Just so long as its fun.

Perhaps its just another part of his power hungry personality. He wants control, and can't stand to be dominated. Anyone who does such a thing goes on his hate-kill list. Which he does have, in his revenge journal...He can become easily obsessed with things and even when he could tell the truth, he prefers to lie. He's always suspicious of others and doesn't believe anything anyone says unless they can give him undeniable proof. He's also completely willing to use his looks to his advantage.

Often, when people realize his true personality, he switches to be more suave and charming, like a smiling gentlemanly devil. There's nothing he loves more then seeing that final realization in their eyes as the life fades away. He doesn't care what people think of him, and simply laughs and accepts what a horrible person he is, even using that to mess with people's heads at times. If asked why he does such things...he simply replies with something along the lines of being bored or because its fun.

He likes to be around other people, to see what life is like for the 'normal people'. Also, that makes it easier for him to pick out and understand his victims better, so that he's able to act more efficiently. If he actually meets someone that he likes, he often gives them pet nicknames, as a way of establishing them as something different then mere prey. Enjoys jokes and laughter but only with the people he likes. Everyone else, he just wants to hear in pain and suffering, because its just so much more fun that way~<3. Li is perhaps a little overprotective of his friends and anyone who hurts them must pay. However, that doesn't mean he won't hurt them, and he's perfectly content to laugh at their pain. If his friends annoy him though, then he won't hesitate to stab them in the back [multiple times] and then walk away and never feel any remorse or regret over what he did.

Likes: Power, control, pain, the suffering, fear, and misery of others, death, messing with people.
Dislikes: His brother, happiness, positivity, loss of control and power, cute animals, loathes lettuce with all his being.
Habits/Quirks: His hand twitches before attacking, eyes stay open while asleep.
Fears: Lettuce. Silver. Water to an extent since he never learned to swim.

Character's History

[ovo Attempted to make his history fit this place somewhat. .-.]

When he was five, a strange hooded man came to live in the village. The man kept to himself and rarely spoke to anyone. However, when Li was six and his village birthday celebration was held, the man spoke to Li. Happy to be paid attention to, Li began spending more and more time with the man. His parents were too busy with his other siblings to take much notice of it.

When Li was six, Ki was born, and his parents attentions were on him even less. They seemed to be doing everything for Ki. Li was even kicked out of his room to make room for Ki, send to the guest room. Unhappily, he sought out his friend for advice and help. His 'friend' was only all too willing to help him, telling him all about the evils of others, and the cruelty. Little did little Li know that the man was just using him. He was a fiend from the darkest corner of the world, and would feed off the misery that Li would spread. Li was young, impressionable, he was easy to mold and a little bit of dark magic never hurt anything~

As time went on, Li's outlook on the world became darker and darker. Eventually, it got to the point where he was just...He wanted to see others hurt. When he was eight, the hooded man left the forest in a hurry, during the night. Feeling like he had been left alone, Li bitterly attacked his sister's pet dog, killing it. From then on it just all went downhill, and that dog was only the first of many victims. In order to stay safe, Li learned to lie, cheat, and take advantage of whatever he could.

his parents pretty much ignored him, and Ki got everything he wanted while Li got nothing, Li's anger boiled over. With coaxing words and sweet promises, he led his brother out to a cliff, telling him that they were going to see the butterflies that lived there. Innocent Ki was only too happy to oblige, viewing his older brother as a sort of idol, thinking he was so smart, capable and strong. As they stood on the clifftop, Li smiled and shoved Ki off. watching as he fell.

However. thanks to the villagers, Ki survived. Enraged at the failure, Li left into the forest. There he found a wounded man and ended up killing him. However, he felt no shame or remorse over the act. It had been good for relieving stress and he would often wander off to look for more travelers, taking care to not be discovered. In the meantime, he began faking his healing, leading the other villagers to believe that he was some sort of amazing prodigy. In reality, he was just using tricks, smoke and mirrors, sleight of hand. But it was enough to fool them.

When Li was fifteen he spent much time in the house where his childhood 'friend' had lived. He had been reading up on experiments and all sorts of things, and was eager to begin testing it out on whoever he could. One of these people who he frequently tortured was his brother Ki.

Now, Li's cruelty increased. He used his influence over the others to get whatever he wanted, when he wanted it. The only person who escaped it was his new friend, a boy named Lukai. He was the only one privy to Li's secrets, and the two rarely went anywhere without one another. Meantime, Li's abuse towards his own brother increased, and he forbade him to tell the others of anything that he did. Li forced him to heal his victims after he was done with them, leading to Ki's fear of blood. After awhile, Ki's life became a living hell for him and he lived everyday in uncertain misery.

Li on the other hand was having the time of his life. He was the one who pulled the strings, everyone else was just a...tool. But, one day, as stranger creatures attacked the village, his whole life turned upside down.

Character's Fighting Style

Li concentrating mainly on swift and powerful attacks, before leaping away to -hopefully- prevent any counter attacks. While he attacks in a battle frenzy, trying to get as many hits in, in as few seconds as possible, he also makes an attempt to keeps his movements randomized to keep the opponent on their toes and make counter attacks harder.

Character Flaws

Lowered defenses and accuracy. He wears no armor, and often attacks before considering, in a sort of frenzy, so many attacks will miss those who are on their toes and keep an eye out.
Ki: Li considers Ki to be his property, and anyone who tries to kill him or harm him must be punished. Ki is his alone to kill.
Concentration: His magic will be canceled but the energy will still be gone if he is interrupted during it.
Doesn't realize when his body needs rest. He will fight until his body collapses, then attempt to fight some more.
Lowered sense of touch. He could put his hand on a hot stove and not realize it until several seconds have passed.
Hand twitches before attacking. This is a give away for those who are keen enough to notice it.
Extremely impatient in battle. He will attack first, taking barely any time to size up his opponent.
Silver. It burns him and causes incredible amounts of pain, so much that even he hates it. The wounds caused by it must heal naturally, his skills will have no affect on it. And the wound will make him feel sick, weak and overall ill. Holy water also has this effect on him.
Dragon's Blood; Due to Arc's interference, catching the scent of dragon's blood, or drinking it, will cause the same effect of catnip on cats for Li.
Over confidence; He has oodles of confidence, to that point where he thinks he can do anything and get away with it flawlessly.

Character Strengths

Fast and strong: Li is extremely quick and agile on his feet, and has quite some power behind his hits. He can jump high, and by reading a person's movements, he is occasionally able to predict a move before it happens. This doesn't apply to special, unique skills or magic.
Healing: Though not as great as some others, he does have a pretty good handle on it. He holds his hand over the wound and concentrates, healing the wound. Heals poisons, gouges, bruises, broken bones and burns. Can be used twice per thread. 15 post cool down. Incidentally, he also has the ability to do the opposite, although he still has very poor control over it, and the most he can do is cause a flower to wither. It's simply used to mess with people, nothing more.
Good liar: Doesn't show a single give away when he lies.
Acting: He can pretend to be the sweetest, kindest person in the world if he wants to and play the part perfectly.
Voice: He's got a strong, clear and melodious voice that he can manipulate in a manner of ways, be for it speech or song. He can sound cute and friendly, or cruel and sadistic. He's also skilled at mimicry.

Role Play Sample

Pulling off his hat, Li gave a long yawn and tossed it to the side, his long eyelashes brushing slightly against his cheeks as his face scrunched up. Hidden beneath his sleeves, his gauntlet pressed against his skin, sending cold chills up his arm. He shivered, smiled lightly and plopped back down on his back, arms and legs spread like he was about to make a snow angel. Ahhh, today was nice out.

But he was still bored. His smile creased into a slight frown, lips turning down into more of a pout. How he hated boredom, being willing to do almost anything to escape it. But for today, there was nothing for him. No people around, no animals, and his equipment was still back at his lab. Softly, he gave a sigh and rolled over, picking at the grass with a finger idly, choosing a piece and picking it into ever smaller pieces. Green grass stained his fingers. Idly, he stared at them, before letting his hand flop, brushing against the grass.

What did people do for fun around here anyways? Watch clouds. Li gave a small grunt of protest at the idea. Clouds were not interesting at all. Spotting a small bug making its way up a strand of grass, Li shifted and stared at it, curious. Then, his hand darted out almost too quick to see and snatched the bug, holding it by the wings. The poor thing struggled, managing to rip off on of its wings. Li simply smiled in amusement, watching the tiny appendage disappear into the grass. What a stupid thing.

Moving his hand around, his red tinged eyes watched as it desperately crawl around, looking for a way off. Without its wings, it could not fly. Pathetically, the other wing weakly flapped. Suddenly bored with it, Li brought his other hand up and using a claw, slowly decapitated the thing, dragging it through its body, slicing it in half. Now bored, he yawned and picked it into the grass. Well, that had provided entertainment for all of what, thirty seconds? Not enough.

After a moment, he slowly rose and looked around. It would seem that he would just have to make some entertainment for himself then, now wouldn't it? His eyes danced in delight, eagerly as he began gracefully gliding through the grasses, eyes fixed upon what was in front of him. A young couple, happily walking hand in hand through the grass, eyes fixed upon one another as the rest of the world faded away. A small, cruel grin slowly twitched at the edges of his lips, and his eyes gleamed in delight. This was going to be ever so much fun for him.
