Kyouto

Updates:

10/2/13: Back again, and this time, with a decent (hopefully) picture. It will be colored soon, so there's that.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Character Overview: Alright, if you actually took the time to read this monster, then you will better understand his situation in detail. If you didn't then I don't really blame you. Mainly why I will make this quick summary up here.

So basically, it's like this; in his lifetime, he was a murderer responsible for mass homicide and the genocide of the elves in his homeland. He continued this for a while until the age of 22 when the government lured him into a trap to kill him with the use of toxins. Needless to say, he died and very few mourned his passing.

A year later, a stranger arrived at his grave and after he left, he rose from his grave and learned to adapt to his new lifestyle rather quickly. To resist his new found craving for the flesh of humans, he eats from the unintelligent animals whenever his hunger arises.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Major Strengths:

Most humans have a very small degree of regenerative abilities. His zombification affected these abilities and increased them. He's not going to grow limbs back, but if he receives a wound of any kind that doesn't remove something, he can heal it over time. If a limb does come off, he can reattach it without outside assistance, but he would require holding it there for a few minutes before the regeneration completely heals it.

2x capabilities during night. 3x capabilities during full moon.

Major strength. Even halved, it's more than twice of the strength of a normal human.

Unlike most zombies, his speed is not reduced from what it was, and therefore, is faster than the average zombie.

Extremely high resistance to pain, able to have limbs removed and still remain unaffected.

Destruction of hidden heart is necessary for his final death. If not destroyed, then even when completely destroyed, he will simply be brought back by the necromancer through powerful magics.

Warding against demons. Also grants him minor holy power and a holy aura.

Major Weaknesses:

Capabilities = 1/2 during day.

In cold, speed decreases greatly.

In heat, strength decreases greatly.

Poor swimming.

Poor Eyesight.

Intellect: About average but what he does know is very expansive in certain fields and he could be called a sage in certain subjects.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Personality: Usually fairly kind and sweet to just about anyone he meets, however, even though he's able to restrict his hunger very well by feeding on mindless animals, he sometimes requires more flesh than just that and can sometimes start to lose control.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Speed Form: A form focused mainly around increasing movement and attack speed, but lowering his strength. While in this form, his eyes will become a bright green and his personality will change to a cocky and confident one.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strengths:

Due to being a zombie of his caliber, his natural regenerative abilities as a human have increased.

High strength and the ability to change physical abilities allows him to adapt to a number of situations.

Having higher speed than the normal zombie allows him an easier time moving around.

Being very knowledgeable in his known subjects, he can be considered a sage in those subjects.

During the night time, his abilities double. If exposed to a full moon his abilities are then tripled.

Due to keeping remnants of his conscience, he is able to resist craving human flesh.

The stitched cross on his right hand protects him from demonic possession or being turned into a demon. Used correctly, it can also protect him from demonic spirits and entities.

Due to certain means, he can't be killed like a normal zombie. Simply shooting his head or cutting it off won't cut it. The only way to kill him is to destroy his heart. However, this is not so simple, as his heart is not in his body. His heart, lies hidden, at a location that even he does not know of.

Being an expert of unarmed combat, he has no need for weapons in most cases.

Weaknesses:

During the daytime, he is at half strength in all aspects.

If exposed to cold, he becomes significantly slower.

If exposed to high levels of heat, he becomes significantly weaker.

Although the temptation is weaker, the craving for human flesh is still there. Should certain situations arise, he will find it difficult to hold back his hunger.

Due to losing most of his ability to swim, should he be put in water, he would have a hard time keeping afloat.

Back story: In life, Kyouto was a murderer of some renown. He was responsible for mass homicide, and a case of genocide in the complete and utter destruction of the native elves in his homeland. One thing that anyone could tell about him, is that he had an obsession with death. He simply loved the thought of bringing an agonizing end to anyone who crossed him. Of course, his actions did not go unnoticed. He was pursued for the longest time by so called keepers of the peace and heroes of justice. Each and every time, he either avoided them, or killed them, to make his getaway and continue his rampage.

This went on for years. In fact, it wasn't until he reached the age of 22 that he was finally stopped with unjust means. The many governments and organizations all agreed that he was an undeniable threat and some went so far as to call him a monster. So, working together, they devised a plan to end him, whatever the costs may be. So, they decided to lead him into a trap. Using a large group of officers, they lured him into a chamber where he proceeded his normal killing, but just as he was getting started, the room sealed. Windows and doors closed and locked, they released a toxic gas into the room, Killing the troopers at first. And perfect killer or not, he was still human. A few moments after the last trooper fell dead, he collapsed. When more troops were sent to check on him, he was stone dead. They had succeeded. Well...that's what they thought.

After a very angry funeral, his grave was visited by a stranger a year later. Kneeling over his grave, he muttered some incantation and left. Several days later, a pale, thin arm burst from the coffin and the grave, grasping for the air and the rest of the body following soon after. When he looked upon himself, he saw that his body was somehow not rotted, however, some parts were so malnourished that he was forced to take action. Finding a fresh grave, he removed his wasted limbs and took the limbs of the other corpses. He doubted it, but for some reason, he had the feeling they would simply attach if he put them together. Testing his theory, he tried it and it worked. The new limbs attached as if he were a Lego. A day later though, he encountered a demonic spirit who sought to take his body to cause mayhem. Spotting a leather emblem of a cross, he quickly held it up before finding that it seemed to ward off the spirit. He made sure that he attached the emblem to his hand before moving onward.

Wandering for days, he seemed to be completely changed in appearance and personality. He no longer sought the death of someone else like he used to. He did however, find a strange desire flesh. Of course, the first human he saw caused him to struggle. He almost starved until he fed on the body of a deer. Finding that he was satiated with this, he decided his new diet, and built a resistance to the temptations of feeding on humans. Of course, it is only a resistance...should the right circumstance arrive...who knows?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inventory: A wide assortment of items that he has found all about during his travels and such. Most of them are enchanted in some way, and all in various ways. Everything he can carry is carried in the first item below.

Bag of Infinite Holding: In simple terms, a backpack he owns that's enchanted in such a way that it has no limit to how much it can hold. Any who were to look inside would find that instead of items, it would be an empty black space. He somehow manages to find exactly what he wants though when he wants it, so he doesn't mind.

Gourd of Eternity: A special gourd he found at an old shrine that contains a strange, red, liquid. It's much like wine in taste, but in truth, it is a special elixir made to cleanse and calm the body, mind, and soul. The other part of the enchantment lies in the gourd, making it so that the special liquid never runs empty.

Stuff not in the backpack: Mainly only one item, but still worth mentioning.

Dagger.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Current Housing: A small, one room shack on the edge of the park. It's small and doesn't have much room for anything, so he only stores what he really needs or wants.
