Erik Von Gyldenstjerne.

User Name: [KnightAngel]

Character name: Erik Von Gyldenstjerne

Mutant Name: Duke.

Abilities/powers: The ability to 'see' things around him through sound and contact with the ground, in aspect of sound then that also means that too loud noises would be painful and cause him to be unable to focus and thereby blind him for a while depending on sound and length of time he's exposed to that sound.

Sex: Male.

Age: 23 years of age.

General appearance: Erik has silvery white eyes, which he rarely opens fully and either way usually is blocked by some fancy pair of sunglasses. He has ruffled raven black/blue hair and a slim body with slimmed muscles which despite his visionary problem helped him become one of the top bachelors in Denmark, partially also due to his noble stature however, but he still usually was fairly desired by a great deal of females just for his appearance, he stands 5'9" and usually wears a dark purple t-shirt, black or navy-blue jeans and white sneakers and often seen outside with a thin ankle-long leather jacket and is always wearing a ring as sign of his noble bloodline and a cane which he though usually don't use much except for in combat due to his abilities giving him the ability to see his surroundings fine without.

Additional Appearance: A small birth mark in the shape of two crossing swords on his lower back.

Personality: Usually is a smooth-talker but is despite that a truly caring and gentle person, has always had a good relation with kids and animals. The people he do care about he'd protect almost viciously and he would not treat anyone who threatens or make fun of those people that he has gained a care for very well, even less so if he finds out they mistreat children or animals. Otherwise seems rather quiet and uninterested even if that might not be the case but just how he was raised as an descendant of a long line of nobles, can also on rare occasions seem arrogant.

Special Skills: Always been rather skilled with languages, mostly learned the ones from the countries surrounding Denmark, being Norway, Sweden, Germany but has also learned Inuit from an expedition he once was on towards the north-pole, also know french and latin due to his parent's strict raising as old-school nobility and is currently studying japanese, russian, spanish and italian, also been taught the ways of Karate, Tae kwon do as well as Judo and Jiu Jutsu.

Place of birth: A mansion somewhere in Denmark.

Weapon(s) of choice: His cane and if he gets a hold of one then any staff of appropriate length and size.

Medical information: Unable to see more then blurry movement but only up to around one and a half meter, but otherwise in clean bill of health

Brief History: Erik has been brought up to be a fine breed old school noble, but after his parent's deaths he uses those abilities when he sees fit despite their wishes, he after their deaths grew up amongst friends and friends of his parents learning more of each side as he saw fit, he never revealed to anyone what truely happened on the day of his parent's death which was the day he learned of his ability the first time, some trauma still exist but he doesn't show that to anybody, not even those closest to him.

Relatives: Parents not since long deceased and none other known relatives.

How long your character has been in the mansion: New arrival.

2010-08-19 [Veltzeh]: Why? :P

2010-08-19 [Duredhel]: Cuz its become a cliché of RPs XD. EVERYONE knows martial arts, its like people live in 12th century china or something... Not to mention it takes years to properly learn a martial art or a language. So yah, my characters don't know martial arts, can't play musical instruments and only speak one language :D

2010-08-19 [Mrs Vicious.]: you do have a point, mine cant either. because I dont know many languiges or how to do marcial arts myself so I dont wanna get pulled up on mistakes and loop wholes.

2010-08-19 [KnightAngel]: *grins and shrugs* Well about that then that was actually something I just took from myself, except for fencing XP and a rare few of the languages and well he has been intensely trained from child in both martial arts and languages as his parents thought it only be proper for a true noble ^^

2010-08-19 [KnightAngel]: Also never said he was a master, only that he had been trained in the way of those :P

2010-08-19 [Priest Kel]: I like for my characters to know martial arts, but thats only because I love them so much. ^_^ Michael was self taught however so he fights more on the basic principles as well as instinct

2010-08-19 [KnightAngel]: *shrugs* Idea of Erik is to have had personal trainers since he was born blind it would be difficult for him to attend normal class as his power only started to really manifest in his later years ^^ besides even then would seem odd if he could counter blows coming at him due to him being blind XP

2010-08-19 [Figgy]: Light and Shana don't know martial arts. Shana is really more of a defensive fighter (obviously, with her power), Light has a scary chain and shocks everybody, and would probably just straight up beat someone to a pulp with good old fashioned street fighting. I think that's fair. >.>

2010-08-19 [Duredhel]: Dani can't fight... period XD. The nature of her power has a lot to do with her personality. And Shade has never needed martial to rip people apart (sort of like his little black widow I guess). Not like he had time to learn them anyways XD. People forget about time.. with character. How long does it take to learn this and that skill. 40 year old character knowing a bunch of stuff.. sure.. 20 year old... not so much. Its usually a tradeoff of skills, if you character is a bookworm, it might not have had time to hit the gym much. I think I wrote about this in the last part of What not to do with powers :3.

2010-08-19 [Priest Kel]: Street fighting is pretty much the same thing as being self-taught only you learned because you had to less than because you wanted to and you did Dur

2010-08-19 [KnightAngel]: *grins* I got the same concept with street fighting as you do with martial arts, wouldn't know really what to do so yeah avoid being able to do that so I don't make any blunders XD

2010-08-19 [Figgy]: Light had to learn. I doubt she could take down a guy, though. Definitely not Michael. Most likely not even Shade.

2010-08-19 [Priest Kel]: She couldn't take on Shade because he'd cut her off

2010-08-19 [Figgy]: Hahaha XD

2010-08-19 [Priest Kel]: And as for Michael it's just because he is a big scary bear guy

2010-08-19 [Duredhel]: Actually Shade is very vulnerable against energy types >__<.
And we already KNOW exactly how Light could kick his ass XD. She already did... by accident...

2010-08-19 [Figgy]: >.>

2010-08-19 [Priest Kel]: Was that in some of your *ahem* private RPing sessions? Becasue I don't remember reading it

2010-08-19 [KnightAngel]: Erik is pretty much a support character all in all, of course can be fairly good at offense but that's then with normal means, not through mutant powers :P And well he was raised as a normal person.... Well with a visionary disability but none the less normal human XP He only recently discovered his powers after all so yeah :P

2010-08-19 [Mrs Vicious.]: Lisa has just grown up beating on her brothers and working out with them, same for Jacob. Natural muscle.

2010-08-21 [KnightAngel]: Hmmm... Thought that would be better than a sword XD
