Nicknames: Sparkles, Spike
Age: 20
Race: Human
Sex: Male
Hair: Jet black made into spikes. At certain points when using his power his hair will either get a blue tinge at the points or sparks will come out of the points.

Weapons:

Big Blue: A regular longsword covered in hardened aura. This is his main weapon. The sword weighs about five pounds. The aura coating adds the extra weight. Crackle can use his aura to change the blade's temperature. The blade looks as if it made of silver with a blue tint. There is a sapphire on the pommel where he can store some aura for later use. The handle is made of silver and has slight ridges for his fingers.

Throwing knives: Throwing knives with blades made of only hardened aura. He made these to practice his aura control. He can easily change their temperature and change their direction while in the air. They look like Big Blue's blade but are more light blue and less silver. He can use aura to return them to him after throwing, which makes for a good double attack if someone dodges one.

Little Blue: Not so much a weapon but a small sword strapped to the left side of his chest. Only used if he doesn't have the other weapons listed above. He really only uses it for cutting things. It looks like Big Blue but is smaller and doesn't have an aura coating. It's made of titanium and cuts through most things easily.

Keepsakes:

Aura ring: A gold ring with a diamond in the middle. The diamond changes color depending on how much aura he has left. Blue is high, purple is medium, and red is none. There are shades in between, like a reddish purple or a bluish purple. He received this ring from a wizard specializing in aura. It's worn on his right index finger.

Diamond belt: He picked this up for a rather high price from a merchant. It's a leather belt coated in small diamonds. The aura controller stores aura in the diamonds giving them a light blue look.

Armor:

A jacket made of 3 layers. The layer touching his skin is a very soft cloth. The middle layer is a titanium chain-mail that he keeps from moving with his aura when not in battle. The outer layer is a dark blue material that is flame resistant and waterproof. It zips in the middle with a silver zipper. The jacket goes down just above his knee. Hidden under the jackets sleeves are leather gauntlets, which are decorated with saphires where he can store aura for later use.

Strengths:

He is skilled with his sword and is getting better at controlling aura. He is also quite fast thanks to his aura, which he can send to certain muscles to speed them up. He has high resistance against fire, earth, and water skills and magic. He has complete immunity to lightning magic. He can convert lightning magic to aura energy. He his medium resistance to dark, light, air magic.

Weakness:

Although he is skilled at controlling aura, he does not have a lot of aura to control. He has to be careful to not use too much aura in any attack because it could wear him out. When he tries to send aura to a body part, if there is a cut on that part, aura will leak through it. He has no psychology experience and so has trouble reading movements. He is very weak against ice magic. The reason is due to the crystal nature of ice. He unintentionally will fill it with aura if ice is lodged in him. He has very little sword skill and can't take on a swordsman with proper training unless using his power.

Skills:

Sticky Aura: An aura is made that can stick to what he wants. It was used when he coated his sword in aura. It is mostly used to climb things and when hardened, is slightly stronger than titanium. This skill is natural and takes almost no energy to use. He can destroy if he feels it necessary.

Aura Shield: A dark blue shield appears in front of Crackle. Very few things can hold up against it. The longest he's held it is a minute.

Blunt Aura: Crackle can make small invisible barriers using aura. They're very slippery. It is generally used on Big Blue when sparring. In use, sparks come from his fingers and whatever he touches gets a barrier. This one takes a little less aura then Aura Shield. He'll try to use this on an enemy's weapon if possible.

Aura Absorber: When lightning magic is used against him, he uses this shield. It turns the attack into aura which Crackle then absorbs.

Aura Movement: This can only be used on objects with either Sticky Aura or Blunt Aura on them. It allows him to move the object. Because his sword is coated and his knives made of Sticky Aura, he can control them if he throws them.

Aura Vision: Aura Vision allows him to see how much aura someone has. For those who can control aura, they're invisible. Aura users are marked by blue flames and aura masters appear as golden flames.

Aura Flames: These are blue flames that can only be held briefly. Now used only for lighting cigarettes and starting log fires. It's made when he sends aura to his fingertips and he snaps his fingers. The flame will come out of his thumb similar to the way a lighter flame would.

Aura Cleansing: Crackle doesn't bathe often because this ability opens his pores and cleanses them.

Aura Temperature: Like Aura Movement, except it changes the temperature instead.

Aura Storage: Crackle has found he can store aura in jewels like diamonds and sapphires, then take it back at a later time.

Aura Power: Crackle can send aura to body parts to make them stronger and or faster.

Aura Replenish: This skill is a meditative move used to restore aura. Can only be used every half hour. When using this, sparks come out of the points of his hair randomly. Small bolts of lightning will sometimes come out of his fingertips. To not lose that energy, he must surround himself with Aura Absorber.

Appearance:

Crackle is tall and has a muscular build. He doesn't have much extra fat but like most people there's a little extra. He has mildly tanned skin and tries to keep facial hair from growing too much. He has blue eyes and his hair is spiked to near perfect points. He wears a white T-shirt under his armor jacket (described above). There are some internal pockets in the jacket where he carries some items. There are always two packs of cigarettes with him, his lighter (when he's too weak for Aura Flames), and a red bandanna (often worn when it's raining). Two things about the jacket which weren't said above: it has a collar that can be folded down or up. When folded down, it's on the inside of the jacket and unseen. When folded up, it's at the lowest point of his ears. This is used when it's rather windy. The other thing is a hood that is folded into a pocket in the back. It's used when raining or extremely windy. Unless he's fighting or run out of cigarettes, Crackle will be smoking.

Personality:

A very honorable fighter. He dislikes using surprise attacks unless absolutely necessary. He's clever but can sometimes mistake movements. During these times, he'll use his speed to dodge them. He'll try to reason his way out of situations where he doesn't think he'll win. This may seem cowardice but surviving is more important to him than what other's think. He's generally laid back while by himself. If a friend is around he'll happily talk with them. If someone he doesn't know is by him he'll simply ignore them and if they ask a question will either ignore it or give a quick answer. He's very respectful around people with more authority than him.

Biography:

Crackle was born in Ireland. He doesn't know his parents because he grew up in an orphanage. Crackle got his name because sparks came out of his fingers sometimes when he was a child. He was an outcast from the others because they thought the sticky stuff he peeled off his hands was gross. They sent him to school like the normal kids. He developed his Aura Flames ability when no one could get a lighter when smoking at school. As far as the other kids were concerned, that's the only thing the smart ass was good for. His smoking has carried on to now too, except there's no danger because he can clean out his lungs with aura. Crackle's goal is to master his aura. He wants to be able to control his aura perfectly and use it more. The aura controller will kill but only if the person deserves the death or if the person will be killed fairly. He dislikes killing with guns and the only things he uses for stealth are his body and aura. Crackle is nice to people he trusts but harsh and bitter to people he hasn't gotten to know yet. This ensures he has brave friends because they have to make conversation with him as strangers while he's bitter. Crackle often wonders what happens at death. He lives by the way that if you're honest and a good person, you will get a form of reward at death. What the reward is, he's not sure. He also thinks if you are dishonest, you will receive punishment.

His powers were known to him since a child. An example is the sparks that gave him his name. For a while, the orphanage supervisors wondered why children were slipping on areas that seemed dry. He found aura techniques by applying them to things he needed done. An example is the Aura Flame skill.

If not in a regular town Crackle will sleep in a cave. Otherwise a hotel room is his preferred place for sleep.

Crackle fights to master his aura. His sword is mostly used for throwing, he then uses Aura Movement to bring it back. That's just a way he can help control his aura. He was taught the basics of actual sword fighting by the man who forged his sword, Artemis. Artemis was a kind man and made Crackle a sword when he was 17. When the sword was still warm from the forge the smith trained Crackle in what he needed to know. Mostly the basics such as blocking, slashing, and stabbing. When Crackle finds the time to go up to Artemis's home in the mountains he's glad to teach Crackle something new. Real sword fighting is only used when he's low on aura. Each time he learns something new from Artemis he tries to use it but finds his aura to be much more natural and easy.

RPs:

Did you know that when Zorlo was first created he has no Aura powers at all? That being said I have a few requests made of your character before approving him, I can.

Firstly: Personality; He needs one, frankly his current personality is short, cliche, and not well thought out. Remember his personality is the meat and bones of the character, without it the rest of his abilities would be rendered moot. So Please, expand this section.

Secondly: This blade of his...how can he use it? According to his Bio he has never been trained in the way of the sword, and please none of that "He trained himself" bull, cause that always bothers me.

Thirdly: Why does Crackle fight? You never mention it in his profile, what is his goal, and why does he pick up his blade?

Fouth: When it come to appearance, "Like a basic twenty year old," that just don't cut it. I need an actual description of his body, face, and stuff. Is he muscurlar, slim, fat right now I have no idea. Does he have a big nose? Does he have scars on his face? You really leave much to be desired in his appearance.

Also on a side note...you use the word "Aura' So much it makes my eyes bleed...

Fix that stuff and I'll get back to ya.

*gives you eye bandages* Sorry.

I edited the stuff and I hope you like more now.

*APPROVED*

Just remember, your character Is Not Zorlo, he is someone different, unique, okay?

Have fun.

*Flies off*

*Runs into a trree because of his eye bandages*

Ouch.

I never told you you had to put the bandages on. Besides they're see through.

I'll remember that.
