Name: Wenomir Rawicz
Race: Human
Occupation: Warrior
Age: 32
Alignment: Pissed off
Power Level: C+/B-
Backstory: Born in a poor, backwater village in the southern fringes of the once-glorious kingdom of Martenia, Wenomir used to be a warrior in some noble's retinue until something made him agree to take part in a dangerous alchemical experiment known as "Demonhunter project". This experiment involved injecting a group of individuals with demonic and devilish blood to turn them into perfect hunters with supernatural abilities. The experiment turned out to be a partial succes- only 40% of subjects survived, but they did become perfect killing machines capable of taking down demons that'd tear regular warriors of their skill apart. They were also neraly emotionless and obeyed their masters without question. At some point though, Wenomir's emotions began to go back. During a mission that involved cutting down some cultists who were merely misguided rather than corrupt, he snapped. He ran away without completing the task and vanished. Now he wants to stop being a killing machine and start living again. But his former masters weren't going to just let their weapon run loose. After many adventures, he finally settled down in Watchtower. He also managed to revert his demon-blood infusion and become a natural human again.
Apperance:
Appearance-wise, "intimidating" is the word to describe him. Wenomir is tall, quite muscular - not overly so, though - lean and wiry. His skin is fairly dark and his entire body is covered in scars caused by various attacks, from conventional slashing and piercing blades to claws, bites, pincers and even worse things. He rarely shows any skin beyond his face and hands and parts of his arms, though. His hair is dark brown, almost black, and long. He wears it in a ponytail. His eyes are dark brown and have a very determined and strangely unmoving expression.
As far as clothes go, Wenomir feels most comfortable in his armor, which is a long, sturdy mail. He tends to wear a black surcoat above it, but not always. He's got a few sets of padded armor to wear underneath the mail that he often wears casually as well. Apart from that, he's got an assorment of dark, dull shirts. He doesn't pay much attention to clothing.
Personality: Wenomir is a very serious, down-to-earth person. He tends to be rather grim and sour as well as really stubborn and relentless. He believes strongly in the value of hard work and self-development, and follows a pecuilar brand of martial mysticism focused on self-percfection and emphasizing the view that if you want something, you need to earn it yourself. Due to that, personal experience, and remains of a frontier peasant's work ethos, he's prejudiced against those who, in his opinion, had powers, abilities or status "handed over to them". Mages and nobility in particular are objects of his scorn.
Abilities: Wenomir is highly skilled in a fast and brutal style of longsword fencing, which emphasizes speed, precision and ruthlessness. It's an amalgamate of various techniques and styles Wenomir has encountered, forming his own combat form which he calls "Blur of Steel". A characteristic manuever that Wenomir learned about from his first swordfighting tutor and honed in his days as a demonhunter is spell parrying - an intricate parry combined with a great effort of will allows him to deflect spells with his sword. He has a number of such techniques tailored to fight magic users which he was taught as a demonhunter.
He has also been training with a bearded axe, and while he still has a long way to go before he achieves true proficiency, he compensates for it with speed and tenacity. However, he's able to use most melee weapons somewhat effectively and is always ready to improvise when his usual combat style doesn't work. Apart from that, he's extremely fast and athletic and quite strong. He also has a good understanding of battle tactics as well as strong will and discipline. All this makes him an incredibly dangerous opponent in close combat.
As for ranged combat, he has learned the art of throwing daggers, which he uses when necessary. He still has a lot to learn about the technique, but his speed and precision make up for it.
He used to have various abilities granted by his demonic blood - those are gone now.
Equipment: Wenomir has gone through tree weapons in his career in the Nexus. Currently, he's wielding a Gvalchir, a razor-sharp blade from high-quality steel enriched with some other minerals. It's covered in anti-magic runes and bears the Elder Sign and the Eye of Delreth which ward it against eldrith abominations. He also posesses a tech belt made for him by KR that allows him to teleport and slow bullets and a glove that can be used to multiply the force behind a movement of his arm - again made by KR.
His other weapon is a set of adamantine throwing daggers. He often uses them in conjunction with the glove to multiply the force behind them.
Theme Song: Raised by the Sword or Sword of the Witcher
Miscellaneous: Member of WATCHTOWER. One of the three highest-ranking members in fact, even if he doesn't like it very much.
