Species: Leopard Shark
Eye color: Dark Green
Hair color: N/A
Height (in feet and inches): 5’ 9”
Brief character description: Razor Ref (soon to be updated)
An independent, zealous character, Razor takes every challenge thrown at him by the horns with a toothy smile on his face. In other words, he’s a huge adrenaline junkie. He can come off a bit cocky to some, as he can be a little TOO confident in his own power, and he takes it rather hard when he fails. His independence makes it hard for him good team player, something working under the Overlord is sure to fix. Over the years, he has gained a pretty tolerant, patient nature (which wasn't always the case), but if someone strikes the wrong chord or push him too far, they just might set off the nasty temper of his childhood self . He is, however, rather friendly, willing to talk to anyone and everyone…this goes for any flirting as well. He doesn’t discriminate. True to his name sake, he’s sharp and able to learn and adapt quickly to most situations…unless its too 'science-y'…then he might need some extra guidance. Has a great love for kickboxing, surfing, harmless pranks/jokes, and a good musical jam session with friends and his guitar, "Charlotte".
Character background/history:
Prior signing up for boot camp, Razor’s life had its share of ups and downs. He grew up on his home island of Peeperuare, attending school, playing sports, the works! Even as a young pup, it wasn't hard to tell that he loved a challenge. If he was told he couldn’t do something, he’d find a way to do it, regardless of how many broken bones he’d end up with. His vicarious, rebellious way of living could be attributed to the discrimination he faced, due to the naturally darker colored attributes of his scales. He didn't want to allow himself to be limited by others because of the color of his skin and it wasn't uncommon for him to get into fights over that fact. His home life also wasn't the best which didn't do well for his "its me against the world" attitude as youth. It was an chip on his shoulder he carried with him, even when he and his mother moved to Tiaanuare for a better way of life.
Being an energetic kid, his mother figured it would be a good idea to put him in kickboxing classes that were being held near his town, anything that would curb that boundless, almost destructive energy he'd developed during his time on his birth island. That turned out to be both a blessing and a curse, as he became very very very good, but at the cost of many of his mother’s favorite flower pots since he practiced relentlessly. However, it did prove to make him MUCH less aggressive and improve his over all personality with the discipline that came with learning such a sport. When he was ready for college, he chose to head Aukate to further his education, specializing in physical therapy and rehabilitation. It was during his college years he grew a HUGE appreciation for the amount of diversity the island held, and the fact that such differences were embraced! Such a stark contrast from the island he was born on and lead to a time of self discovery as he pursued his degree. It was an experience he felt changed his way of thinking for the better. After receiving his degree, he returned to his home on Tiannuare, working as a fisherman with his step father and continuing his kickboxing training. Occasionally, he would put his degree to use, helping injured miners and the like, but for the most part....he was at a loss about what more he would do for his future.
A few months later he learned of the recruitment. An opportunity to return to Aukate and work for the Overlord? Sounded like a dream come true if he could make the cut! He felt this would be the ultimate challenge for him, to test his metal against others and prove himself worthy of becoming one of the Overlord’s minions. He couldn't sign up fast enough!
