Jezelik Rutherford II

Name: Jezelik Rutherford II

Alias: The Merchant of Souls/The Conduit of Hellfire

Age: 32

Race: Hylian/Sheikah Crossbreed

Gender: Male

Hair: Spiky, navy blue hair

Eyes: Brown

Features: Multiple tattoos scattered across his body. He has a cross tarnished with blood on his left shoulder, a black flame over his right eye, a giant skull on his back, and a symbol in an ancient language that stands for "Death" on his right hand. The tattoo of the flame lets everybody know that he's an assassin, so he keeps it concealed, unless he needs to show it to clients.

Weight: 195 pounds

Height: 5 feet, 11 inches

Weapon:Jezelik carries 5 weapons.

1. A scythe for combat




2. A knife for assassination



3. A katana as a backup weapon



4 & 5. Dual-Wield Crossbows for long-distance sniping



Armor: A heavily padded leather vest with a hood sewn into it so he can hide his face, and some light, leather pants for quick, evasive maneuvers. He also wears light combat boots for agility. He is never seen with the hood off his face, ever. Other times, he is wearing a hoody, a pair of jeans (if Hyrule had any), and hiking boots, still not letting his face be shown.

Strengths: He is a tactical assassin. The tactician part comes from his family's military background. He can learn the layout of any building just by looking through the windows and marking the territory, and can infiltrate it with ease. Because of this, he decided to take up the role of assassination, and is fairly good at it. He has a bit of a muscular build as well. He decided to take up the life of an assassin for the information network that resulted with the job.

Weaknesses: While being good at assassination, there is one thing he is not good at: keeping himself subtle. He lacks the ability to stay hidden for too long without being caught. Also, he does not know how to swim, which makes trying to escape even harder. The tattoos he has also show his infamy level, so he tries to keep them concealed as much as possible.

Skills/Magics:

Shadowstep: It allows Jezelik to stay hidden in the shadows. However, this only works for a brief time period before he becomes visible again.

Scope Eye: It allows Jezelik to scope out an enemy's weak point during a fight. This also makes assassinations easier, as well as sniping from long-distances.

Air Dash: It allows Jezelik to run along the air for a brief period of time to escape, in case he ever gets caught during an assassination attempt.

Auto Shot: It allows Jezelik to fire multiple arrows/bolts out of his crossbow quickly.

Motor Drive: Jezelik enters a transfixed state where his speed and strength drastically increase. However, it leaves him more open to be attacked.

Tearing Slash: Only used as a final desperation move coupled with Motor Drive. Jezelik goes crazy with his longsword, destroying anything and everything in sight. Nothing is usually left alive after the usage of the move. Jezelik is knocked out of Motor Drive mode after using it.

Explosion Rend: Only used as a final desperation move coupled with Motor Drive. Jezelik raises his scythe, and slams the blade into the ground. Everything around him explodes, leaving large holes in the ground. Not as powerful as Tearing Slash, but still a fairly practical move should the target survive. Jezelik is knocked out of Motor Drive mode after using it.

Appearance: He appears as somewhat of a solemn figure, with a gruff body. He wishes that he was a tad smaller so that he didn't stand out, but that can't be helped. Also very cold, distant, and mysterious.

Here's a picture of something his face could be compared to without the tattoos I found on the internet.



Personality: Having been forsaken by his real family at a young age, he was taken in by a military family in the Hylian Army. Because of his short time in the military, he has developed a cold demeanor, with an even colder aura about him. Beware his icy glare! Deep down, however, he is a tortured soul, having known nothing about his past life, or who his real family is.

Biography: Not much is known about Jezelik's original family. At his time of birth, his family left him in a freshly-woven basket, and orphaned him in the streets of Hyrule Castle Town. He was automatically taken in by his adoptive parents, Skyler and Lilirara Rutherford. They decided to name him Jezelik after Skyler's great uncle, Jezelik Rutherford I

Since the day he turned 12, he was trained in the art of being a tactician. During training sessions with the other soldiers, he would map out the best point of assault for his troops, and the best point of defense from the enemy troops. He was revered as a tactical prodigy. But this was not the life he wanted.

Secretly, he began training in the art of assassination at the age of 16, killing animals in the woods as practice. Eventually, he moved on to killing homeless people in the back alleys of the streets of Castle Town. Eventually, after 3 years of this occuring, when Jezelik was 19, the army found out about Jezelik's misdeeds. He was stripped of his rank as Master Tactician, and exiled from the army.

When he came home that day, his father was angry, his mother upset. Skyler was so upset that he began to beat Jezelik. Out of reaction, Jezelik reached for a sword and stabbed his father in the heart. He died all too quickly after that. While Lilirara mourned the death of her husband, Jezelik grabbed a sword, some money, and a big loaf of bread, and ran away. He ran as far as he could to escape the troubles of what he had just done.

Since then, he used his tactical and assassination skills to his advantage, killing off all the wealthy overlords of each region. This has been going on for the past 13 years. The Hylian Army knows that he's the one doing it, but there's nothing they can do, for all the troops they send out die upon reaching him. It wouldn't be long before Jezelik took his revenge upon the town that raised him. Currently, he not only takes up the assassination role, but he also tries to look for clues about his family. He is not truly evil, rather, he loans his services to the highest bidder. No matter what line of work he takes, it would bring him closer to accomplishing both of his goals. He constantly checks the information network nowadays to see what the status of both of his objectives are.

Theme Song:

Wowza. A character who's not a teenager or 1000 years old! Amazing! Congrats on that. Anyway...

This character is Not Approved.

It's not bad, though. Here're a few things to touch up:

• What's he wearing, usually? I got leather armor and a hood. I dunno what that looks like. How about his face? Any distinguishing features?
  
• Why'd he want to be an assassin? Sociopathic? A love for the quiet? Some burning desire to stab someone in particular?
  
• How on earth would he know the layout of any building? Finding your way is one thing, knowing the floor plan is another entirely.
  
• Backing up a bit...he's villainous for the sake of being villainous? That's what it seems like to me. Maybe a bit of motivation for all that.

So, yeah, touch that up, and we'll see where we can go from there.

Ok, I think I made the edits that were necessary. If they didn't get through, then I'll just make another character.

And lol, thanks for that beginning comment.

EDIT: I added some pictures to depict some of the content.

I'm going to go ahead and declare...

This character is Approved.


Although I'll still make some comments.

The fact that he goes off and killed random animals, and then homeless people... reasons why he would do such a thing are not explained. To me, that means his mental processes could go one of two (and a half) ways: He could be someone who thinks that removing the 'refuse' of society is good. Or he could be a sociopath that likes killing. He could also be a mix of the two...

...I suppose what he is, exactly, can be established through roleplay. But keep that in mind if ever you decide to go back and do some updating.


Also, medieval-style crossbows are rather not one handed. Granted, the picture you show is a modern crossbow.
