Blad Volundr Dragoon
 Gender: Male Age: Ageless Birthday: October 31st Sexuality: Heterosexual Special Characteristics: People often stare at Blad when he passes them by, and this is due to the strange features that mar his physique. Blad as mismatched eyes; it is not considered heterochromia, but at the same time, it is heterochromia. Likewise, Blad has various tattoos of various images covering a majority of his body, making him a "freak." However, it is the stitching around his neck and wrists that gain the attention of most passersby on the streets. These stitches are neatly done through his skin, not a single mark signifying that blood was spilled from them. It seems to only match the strange and eerie look he can pull off. Personality: Imagine someone who is so loyal to another that they practically act mindless in doing the other one's bidding or doing something that would benefit the one they are loyal to. Think of that and amplify it to a thousand, that is what Blad is like with Sabertooth, but even then that would not fully describe what he is like. He would willingly kill someone he completely loved if it meant pleasing the ways of Sabertooth; maybe that is why he is among the favored of guild. However, in spite of his loyalty being his topmost trait that is clearly visible to everyone around, it is also his number one weakness to others. Technically, he would be nothing if it were not for Sabertooth; he would still be that weakling in his gang, the scapegoat everyone went to in times of need. No longer is he that poor college boy, but rather he is the gladiator that prevails against others; the undying, loyal soldier in the ranks. Others fear him because of this, they fear him because his loyalty can make him do things that no moral person would ever do in their lifetime, even in Sabertooth Coupling with his loyalty is his ruthlessness, the source of what fuels his actions and the source of what makes him who he is today. He has cruel and unusual ways of killing people like no other has seen; known for gutting people open while they are still alive and hanging them by their innards. Blad is known to relentlessly beat another if they so much as look at him in a way that he does not like or if they disobey what he tells them to do. It may be in small, almost harmless ways that he is ruthless, all the way to the point he would flay and skin another person alive if he had to. In all honesty, he has no morality, no sense of what is right or what is wrong to do; he does as he pleases and as he sees fit. Taking pleasure in the pain of others, he is the man to go to should someone need a killing done and they do not know a good way to kill the person. Watch out, though, he is known to become a real berserker when he goes into ruthless rages, and someone may just be killed in the process and he will not care. When he becomes mindless, he becomes impulsive and does not think through what he should and should not do; he goes right into doing it. One day, this could be the downfall of Blad, but for now it is one of his more valued traits that Sabertooth likes; ruthless, loyal, impulsive, he is the perfect soldier. Although this is a valued trait of his, at some points his impulsiveness will get the better of him, and he will make extremely rash decision because of it. Sometimes, his irrationality will cause him to get injured or to make mistakes that he should not, but all is normally forgiven when he makes up for it. After all, not even a leader is perfect in what they do; they still make some terrible mistakes, but they eventually learn from them. If they do not, then that is the person's own fault and they do not learn from their mistakes; they will continue to make them over and over again. Understand now that Blad is just like this, sometimes he will learn from his mistakes that he makes, and even sometimes others, but other times he will not learn. He can be extremely crazy in what he does; whether it is coming up with a foolproof plan or simply thinking of a different way to kill someone. Yes, he has the oddest plans in getting something done, but 99% of the time his plan is what gets the job done, even if it takes longer than it actually should. People see him as a weird person, considering he wears bones as a part of his everyday outfit; though, who would not be a little weird-ed out by someone who does that? Compare him to a mad scientist, but without all of the science utensils, just random thoughts of insanity, bouts of manic decisions bound to lead to many deaths. Often known to repeat actions in the definition of complete insanity, no one really questions his words, except the brave few who think it is a good idea. Do they make it out alive? Do they win the argument against Blad? No one really knows, because none of them have come out to say so. Each person who has questioned what he does has never been seen of again, they simply disappear from the minds of everyone who know them. A wild man, that is what describes Blad at a standpoint; a caveman with no sense of moral, just a sense of survival and nothing else accompanying it. Pure animal instincts; he does what his heart tells him to, even if what it tells him to do may not be the morally correct way to go about something. He is hard to sway as well, oftentimes, his mind will be set on something that should happen; one thing that is the right thing, everything else is completely wrong. However, Blad is not exactly someone who is wild in his actions, he is just wild with his decisions and anyone who thinks it is a great idea to oppose him. Of course, what is a leader when there is no one to question whether his decision is the right way to go or if he is out of his mind doing his idea? Though, it is the cautionary idea to be careful around him when his word is questioned; after all, he was not nicknamed The Berserker for no reason. He may just lose his wits if a single piece of his plan is ruined, questioned, or changed in the slightest bit, and he is not the happiest person to deal with when he gets like that. Blad is known to go straight for the gold without a second thought to the pros and cons; he is a risk taker, a doer over a thinker. Question his motives and someone will be met with tooth and claw, waiting to tear them apart the moment they say they do not like the way he works. A member of Sabertooth could catch him bungee jumping off a cliff without the rope; a daredevil to the maximum, a taker of risks and dares. Over everything, he trusts his guts over his mind; if he feels something will go good, he will take the risk, believing that whatever it was, something good will come out of it. Could they imagine him doing the wildest and craziest things a human could? Sure they can, he is someone who would do things that normal people would not. Think of it this way: without someone like Blad, who would be the odd, fun one in the group? Who would be the one to make people question life daily? Who would be the one to make everyone think that life is a bunch of bullshit and they should screw the rules, because you can only experience something significant once in your life. Born and raised in a family who believed that the Aztecan gods where the only gods that anyone worshiped, Blad has come to be the most religious person anyone will ever meet. He has taken it into his mind that he is one of Tezcatlipoca's berserker guardians, living in a world where only the bad can be seen. This is why he wears a bone breastplate and a skull for his mask, because that is what the berserkers wore in the stories he was told. Envy boiled deep down for the guardians of the Aztecan god; he wanted to be just like they were, be as strong as they were. The day he joined Sabertooth was the day that his wish had come true, because he could do as he pleased, kill as much as he wanted. Each and every kill that he makes, he classifies as a sacrifice to the Aztecan gods to please them and let the days continue. At random points in the day, he might even make a speech to Sabertooth in order to convert them to his religion or do rituals that are out of the ordinary. Intimidating is what he values of himself; he loves to see it when people cower before him and do his bidding or ask for forgiveness. Out of everything else, this is what he holds the highest in his appearance, the fact that he can be intimidating enough that people fear him. Though, it is only the ones on the outside who fear him and fear for their lives, as those in the guild have lived with him long enough not to be scared. Recruits may be the ones who are most terrified by him, but they will eventually come to the conclusion he is not one to be feared. Before he had struggled to the rank he is now, he was a member of the guild who did what he was told and became stronger everyday. He learned from mistakes and made sure not to do them again, and he keeps learning, but the longer he remained in the group, the more corrupt he became. Having lost most of his sanity and taken on the full personality of Tezcatlipoca's berserker, he has become quite the fearful militant. Likes:

General Appearance Height: 6'9" Weight: 170lbs Hair: Red Eyes: Right: red iris, black sclera; left: blue iris, white sclera Skin Tone: Tanned Appearance: Blad was typically compared to a body builder before he had encountered Sabertooth, and he has maintained that appearance ever since. He is very muscular, and this is what intimidates people; he is so built up in strength that it scares people into submission sometimes. However, he is not a short man either; in fact, he is on the taller side of men, standing at 6'9"; people claim him to be a giant. Of course, what is not more intimidating that a man who stands at a taller-than-average height and is built up like a tank practically? His skin is on the tanned side, though, nearly verging on brown, much like that of a stereotypical Mexican. Likewise, he has many scars covering his body from the times he happened to come across the Rune Knights back when he was in his gang. One of the more significant scars is hidden beneath the goat skull that he wears, crossing his face diagonally from left to right. Underneath that goat skull he seems to never take off, is a chiseled and masculine face lacking any sort of boyish features. He has a light layer of red stubble covering his chin; the stubble is scratchy against skin, though makes him look unclean. Medium-sized, almond-shaped eyes are centered in his face with a long, partially wide nose right in between them. The irises of his eyes are a mix of delivish and innocent, the right eye a red iris with black sclera and the left eye a blue iris with white sclera. On the upside, he is not an actual unclean man, it is just the stubble on his chin that makes him look like he has not showered in days. However, he has a sleepless look to his features, as if he has not taken the time to get in some desired sleep that he needs. The only thing that seems even remotely clean is his hair, which is red like the freshest of spilled blood and in what seems to be a bedraggled mess. Imagine seeing a man who is dressed in the legendary clothing of the berserkers who were the protectors of the Aztecan god, Tezcatlipoca. This is what Blad's normal clothing is, consisting of a breastplate made completely from the bones of a deceased jaguar. The only non-bone piece of his clothing is the leather pants he wears made from the skin of the jaguar that he killed in the past. Also, the moccasins on his feet and the shirt that he happens to wear beneath the breastplate of jaguar bones. No one really sees him in any other clothing than this, which gives them the idea that he embraces his ancestors' religion of Aztec mythology.
