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.

2010-08-22 [KnightAngel]: Or rather actually it was one of the trainers there that unfortunately had to train us all the time... There was some other things including his son which also went to the club but yeah most forgotten and rather have it stay that way XP

2010-08-22 [Duredhel]: I know spanish and english but I can also understand and communicate with people in italian, french and portuguese, however its a long ways from that to saying I KNOW italian, french and portuguese. And please, read "what not to do with powers", yeah, Veltz learned a lot of languages, but we both know what that cost in psicosocial development :/ anything you learn means you're NOT learning something else. With languages it has a lot to do with the family that language belongs to, for example, its a lot easier to learn Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and French than just Spanish and Japanese. In any case we could just assume he's spent all his time in martial arts and languages so he can't do math past 3rd grade level or color within the lines.

2010-08-22 [Veltzeh]: Actually, I learned languages in a classroom with other people and had to train my social skills while at it. That's why I rarely got a perfect grade on languages. :P The point is that learning languages also advanced my social skills and cultural knowledge. The world isn't always black or white, Dur.

2010-08-22 [KnightAngel]: I more learned languages while out and about, of course also in the classroom but yeah most of my tune up and such was with friends and classmates and the like, or during the time I was trying to learn dutch then it was when I was there and heard people speak, never got around to learning that one completely now that I think of it, maybe going to later XP Oh well

2010-08-30 [Roma]: Well, my opinions don't matter anymore since I'm no longer the GM, but I agree with [Rice]. Hound, who has an increased memory and can learn anything quickly doesn't even know that many languages and she's got 3 years on him. Its a little too much as far as I'm concerned, though [Figgy] is the only one who's opinion matters and she has no problem with it.

2010-08-30 [KnightAngel]: *shrugs* Like I've said before then he's pretty much based on me about all that, just to try and make sure it wouldn't be too much but I guess basing it on an actual human character is too much ^^

2010-08-30 [Roma]: While all characters have elements of their creators in them, basing them too much on yourself is essentially setting you up for becoming defensive and snide when people or other characters don't like them or find flaws.

2010-08-30 [Duredhel]: Me! characters = mark of a newbie.

2010-08-30 [KnightAngel]: *shrugs* I only wonder what's so difficult about it, I know plenty of 3-4 year olds who already know 3-4 different languages perfectly and is able to switch inbetween in an instant, so yeah sort of just wonder what's so unbelievable about it and like I said about the martial arts, never said he was a master of each

2010-08-30 [Mrs Vicious.]: wwwhhooooooaaa...I think you need to chill hunny. *huggles* I think everyone understands what you meen and you understand what that meen and things. *rubs your temples* chiiiiiiiilll.

2010-08-30 [KnightAngel]: *shrugs* Just saying, I'm calm ^^ Just explaining why I don't understand what the problem is :P Cause honestly seen lots of kids running around switching between 3 and 4 languages with ease over here and that's just kids with no particular training in languages XP

2010-08-30 [Mrs Vicious.]: I know hunny... I know. Anyways, you need to go make me some cocoa. *giggles and kisses your shoulder* please?

2010-08-30 [KnightAngel]: *chuckles and heads off to make the cocoa* Gladly dear ^^

2010-08-30 [Mrs Vicious.]: *dances* wooo...

2010-08-30 [KnightAngel]: *chuckles and walks back after a little while with some cocoa* Here you go love ^^

2010-08-30 [Mrs Vicious.]: thank you darlin' *smiles and kisses your cheek* ohhh...could you help me with the cookies on the other RP?

2010-08-30 [KnightAngel]: *blinks and purrs* But I thought you hated people helping you with that, since they get in the way and such but of course I'd gladly help ^^

2010-08-30 [Mrs Vicious.]: Indeeds but Im learning to make acceptions and adapt. *giggles*

2010-08-30 [KnightAngel]: *grins and nods* Okay, well I'm on my way as you might have seen :P

2010-08-30 [Mrs Vicious.]: Indeeds I have hunny thank you.

2010-08-30 [KnightAngel]: You're welcome, just glad to help XP
