'Golden Snake' Volund; Human [Approved 2-2+] [Hazard Rating C]

The Spiritual Human Template

Basic Information
_____________________________

• Name: Volund
• Titles:

The Switch: One of his more recently received aliases. Volund became known as 'The Switch' due too his dual personality, and how suddenly he can change between the two.
Golden Snake: This alias is the oldest of Volund's titles. The reasoning behind this one is a combination of a few things, primarily Volund's brilliant golden reiatsu, and secondly the style of blade he prefers. Though one can argue it may have also been due to his odd hair color, which at times can appear golden blonde, and others a more platinum color.

• Age: Seventeen
• Gender: Male
• Affiliation/Rank: Unkown.

• Appearance Description:
Volund is an older teen whom stands at roughly 5'10", and weighs around one hundred and twenty pounds. The combination of his height and lighter weight have given him a lankier/thinner appearance. Although Volund is lighter, and lankier than others his age, one should not consider him weak. Unlike other body types Volund's strength is in the density, and how toned his muscles are. Where-as other body types like a mesomorph or endomorph, would gain more overall muscle mass. Alas, due to his lankier frame, and good looks, many think he simply has a more feminine body type than most/other males.

Like most blondes Volund has blue eyes, although his aren't a bright blue, or an ocean blue like most. Rather Volund's eyes are an eerie combination of silver and blue, creating a murky, fog-like look. Like his eyes, Volund's hair seems to carry traces of silver coloring, in-fact much more. Such that Volund's hair appears to me more of a silver-blonde rather than a platinum blonde, blonde, or dirty-blonde. Though Volund's hair does occasionally take on a golden-blonde. His silver-blonde hair is quite wavy, and at a moderate length, long enough that he usually keeps the back up in a short pony-tail, while allowing the front to hang as messy bangs.

Simple, and comfortable. Generally this is how Volund prefers to dress, especially during the day. As such it's quite often he is seen wearing a simple long sleeve shirt, and a pair of jeans, or simple pants. Although let it be said, even in a formal setting, it is quite rare to see Volund in formal dress.

Formal, and showy. Seeing Volund dressed as such is a rarity, an extreme one at that. He'd rather show up in semi-formal, or a sport suit of some sort. Whenever he does dress in a more formal & showy fashion, it's expected he shall go all out. Tuxedo, women hanging off his arms, air of confidence, etc.

Personality

• Personality:

'Normal' Personality
Laid-back: Being laid-back isn't a serious portion of Volund's nature, but it's there lurking beneath the surface of his generally serious self. Generally its when the teen is on his own that he actually allows himself to kick back and relax, and even then barely so. As such it's pretty much a rare thing to find Volund relaxing, partying, or such things, though when he does, he's all about it.. well to an extent. The male just doesn't know to let go of the seriousness about him.

Weapon Fanatic: If you truly want to see Volund show passion about something weaponry is the way. The teen has a complete obsession with weaponry, whether it be a sword, spear, gun, etc. As it stands the male has quite the sizable collection of weaponry, all of which he is proficient in the use of. It's one of Volund's goals to own a piece of every type of weaponry that exists. There isn't much else to say here aside from Volund's addiction to weaponry is similar to the addiction some have for their favorite food.

Serious/Drive for Success: Generally Volund is a serious person.. Not stuck up asshole serious.. Just serious about.. well everything. Combat, training, schooling, social life, romance.. Everything. This is mostly due to his past though, and an internal fear of the past repeating itself if he were to ever slack. As such he drives himself to be the best at anything and everything he can, no matter how taxing or stressful. The only thing that truly counteracts the seriousness that is Volund, is his drive for success. Meaning if his seriousness, or anything else risked success, he would drop it on the spot and do anything within his power to succeed. If only he could try this with every other aspect of his life.. Then he might have more companionship and the like.

Kind Towards Few: Caused by wounds of the past. Volund is nearly extremely distrusting of all, and in combination with his seriousness has created a shell of sorts. Not a cold stick up the ass shell. Rather more of an impassive one that cares not about anything around him. Due to this there are very few that Volund actually expresses kindness too, more so in recent years than before, due to once again, his past. All in all Volund may prove to be hard to get close to, but once done, he begins to show the kinder side of himself, a side that has come to rarely see the light of day.

'Sadistic' Personality
Insanity: You can see it. In his eyes. It's there smothered by the fascination for death & bloodshed... The insanity that is. One may not see it there right away, but when the sadistic personality takes over, it's there. Just beneath the surface, waiting to be unleashed. It's terrifying really.. That one who could be so 'normal' could be so insane.. Like opposites sides of a coin really. This mentality knows nothing of friend, foe, ally, innocent, or any such thing. Rather this mentality relishes in the sheer and utter chaos it spreads. The death, disorder, fear, thrill, the hunt... All of it this being lives for, and more. It is truly a wonder that the insanity doesn't shine through the sadistic nature more than it already does, and even more so that the 'normal' personality has yet to be tainted by the touch of insanity.

Unlike most, whether they be normal, or have some sort of personality or mental disorder, Volund's emotions differ quite a bit. Mainly when this personality becomes dominant, but even normally there is a small difference. When this personality has become dominant it wouldn't be odd for Volund to be in a state of 'balance' so to speak. Though this balance isn't as one would expect it to be, like good/bad, light/dark, happy/sad, or any such thing. This balance is more between the emotions of anger, aggression, insanity, passion, joy, impatience, and a few other associated emotions. There are also times when Volund may only experience a single one of these emotions, or two of them, thus causing them to heighten too levels that are abnormal in a person. It should also be stated that this side of Volund feels little to no remorse, nor guilt, and is in fact a killing machine.

Finally the only other tell-tale sign of this personalities insanity aside from Volund's eyes, is the random, infrequent outbursts. Said outbursts usually centering around things such as bloodshed, murder, torture, and even things such as relaxation, and simply enjoying himself.

Greed: Greed... Some associate it with money, others with women, cars, drugs, power, the list goes on. When it comes down to it though Greed is everywhere you look. It's in everyone's heart & soul, even if they don't know it yet. And it's especially present in Volund's own heart and soul. The young man, despite which side of his mentality is dormant, is quite greedy. Volund has an excessive desire for power, how he get's it is no matter. Aside from this desire for power Volund also treasures such things as money, cars, various other material objects, and too an extent other people. One thing can be said for sure, Volund's greed is a much more despicable thing when his Sadistic nature takes over, oh so much more..

Fascinated by Bloodshed: No matter how it is caused the sadistic side of Volund is completely and utterly fascinated by bloodshed. His fascination includes just about everything bloodshed could be about... The colors of the blood, the way it spills from a wound upon the ground, the reaction of the person it's spilled from, the taste, and the near endless ways in which one can spill blood. Volund could be drenched to the bone in someone else's blood and wouldn't have a care in the world about it, rather he'd be absolutely fascinated by everything about it. Unlike other aspects of his personality there isn't much to speak of here, it's more of a must see kind of thing.

Natural Attributes & Supernatural Powers

• Natural Attributes:
Weapon Proficiency: Everyone who has looked into this 'ability' of Volund's, even Volund himself, has yet to fully understand it. For unknown reasons Volund is able to proficiently utilize any weapon he lays his hands upon. In some cases he's even able to wield the weapon as though he had mastered it long before his lifetime. At this time it is currently unknown if Volund's weapon proficiency will grow naturally, or through rigorous training. The only thing known for sure is the sheer potential for Volund to master most, if not all known weapons, and even ones that may be unknown.

Advanced Speed: Volund's own natural movements are quite amazing, and easily surpass the 'norm' for a human. The seventeen year old male is actually able to physically keep up with a moving vehicle up too a point of 60km/h, though the human body isn't built to move at such a speed without the aid of something like a vehicle or spiritual energy. When it comes to a fight Volund's speed allows him to strike at foe's from multiple directions in such rapid succession the strikes seem to come all at once. The following link is an example;Example of Volund's Natural Speed. At this point all Volund can do is further train his body to handle the speeds he can obtain, and then push himself past those limits.

Ihuman Dexterity & Agility: Normally a person, no matter how sharp their senses, would stub a toe, trip over something, or such things on occasion. Volund does not. In fact it is impossible for Volund to stumble, or even fumble with something, unless forced to do so by outside forces(an example being a rough shove over a root or something like that), though most times Volund would still land on his feet. The young male has been able to precisely control his movements and muscles as long as he can remember, in fact he doesn't even recall ever tripping on something as a toddler, nor kid. With further practice Volund could train his dexterity to the point of being able to stand on most, if not all surfaces, no matter how stable or unstable they are. Add in his agility and well.. You have someone who could be compared to a snake, or other flexible & maneuverable animals. In combination with his dexterity, his agility makes for one hell of a hard target to hit.. Just imagine someone who could flip around you, your attacks, and the like, no matter the surface, and they'd essentially never fuck up and trip.. All the while effortlessly dodging the blows, flipping about, etc.. Well that's essentially what one would face when in battle with Volund.. The only thing limiting him is the capabilities of a living human body.

Inhuman Tolerance: When it comes to Volund's tolerance, or durability, it's less the physical tolerance/durability that is inhuman, and more his mental tolerance. Naturally in order to keep up with his advanced speeds, and his dexterity/agility, his body had to become more durable and able to withstand the stresses each thing alone, and in combination would do to his body. Volund is able to continue moving even if his muscles had been shredded, or bones broken. This is due to the combination of his bodies durability, and his sheer mental willpower and tolerance to pain.

When it comes to his mental tolerance it's a whole different story. Mentally the teen male is able to withstand things no boy, teen, nor man every should. One cannot say just how far Volund's mental tolerance and pain resistance goes, though Volund does know some things from experience. An example being that he is capable of ignoring the pain of being burnt alive, though this was only tested upon a single limb at the time. Since then Volund has proven that he is able to keep a completely clear mind, and think clearly in situations such as torture, immense injury, and the like. In the end one could say the male may be completely immune to the effects of pain due to him seemingly ignoring the pains of an arm engulfed in flames. Others simply think the male has an extremely high pain tolerance, beyond that of any normal human being. In the end such a thing is both a blessing and a curse.


• Powers:
Weapon Creation: Weapon Creation is quite a fascinating ability that Volund possesses. The reason behind it being fascinating is the extreme dexterity of the ability, which for a human, is quite remarkable. The ability itself is exactly as its name says... Weapon Creation. Said ability allows Volund to create weapons from essentially anything, or in some cases nothing at all. The weapons can be created through the use of pretty much any existing matter, or form of energy, though to do so with forms of energy Volund is unfamiliar with is extremely taxing. Another fascinating aspect of this ability is that the weapons function and durability has nothing to do with the material used to form them.

Depending what type of material, or energy is used to create the weapons said weapons may have additional functions. And example would be using the energies that form a cero to create a sword, said sword could potentially possess the explosive capabilities of the cero. The more complex the material or energy, the more taxing it is upon Volund when attempting to shape it too his will. Also, depending on the complexity of what is created it may require more of Volund's attention/focus, and possibly energy. The same can be said when it comes to the creations size.

In the end the only true limit of this ability is Volund himself. What this means is that it is purely up to what he can imagine, his skill, numbers, and the energy required by/put into the ability.


• Pure Abilities:
Weapon Transmutation: Branching from his ability to create nearly any weapon imaginable this weapon focuses more around altering an already existing weapon. Through the application of this ability Volund is able to completely restructure a weapon, changing its form and purpose completely. An example of this being that one moment he could be wielding a knife, and suddenly the next moment said knife has been transformed into a working handgun. The only limitations to this ability is Volund's own reiryoku reserves, the size of the weapon being changed, and changed into, and his own imagination.

Telekinetic Manipulation: The ability to use telekinetic manipulation appears to mainly be connected to Volund's Weapon Creation ability. Although he has begun putting in practice to utilize it upon things aside from weapons he has created. This telekinetic manipulation is the closest to the real thing Volund can currently get, this is because he currently only knows how do to so via the use of reiatsu. Although he only uses a mere drop of reiatsu for most things, it's only with heavier, or more numerous objects that Volund must push more reiatsu into the ability.

Sharpness Manipulation: This ability works in two different ways. The first of which is a physical manipulation of a weapon, or object to create a sharp surface and even create a sharp surface on a dull object. This is done by rearranging the objects physical structure via his Weapon Transmutation ability. The second way this ability works is creating an extremely sharp edge too any surface through the application of reiatsu. This essentially works by creating two 'sheets' of reiatsu and rapidly rubbing/grinding/striking them against each other to create an extremely fine edge, reminiscent of a blade of wind.

Background History

• Background:

Chapter One: Birth of a Gifted Child.

It was the 13th day, of the 10th month, of the 2396th year. And on this day a child who would come to be quite well gifted was born. Though it isn't to say the child wasn't born gifted in the first place. Volund, for that is what his parents had decided to name him, was born with an ability, and other skills that he would one day come to understand. And though Volund was born a gifted child, and would be well cared for in the coming years, the child was not destined for a life filled with the love of parents. It wouldn't be until the child's fifth birthday until he learnt the true meaning of pain, both physical, and emotional. On that day Volund would be forever shattered, becoming both sides of a coin in a sense.

Chapter Two: A Shattered Child.

Five years was all it took. For what one may ask? Well lets get onto it shall we. Volund at the age of five had experienced things no child ever should. For the first four years of his life all was normal, his family was normal, but it had all changed on his fifth birthday.. The day it happened. The day he discovered the gift that would curse him.

It had started early in the morning when an excited Volund stormed into his parents room. Why was the child excited? Well that would be due to the fact that he had discovered something he found absolutely amazing.. Something he hadn't realized his parents would fear greatly. And of course he wouldn't understand why. Both parents had lost their families to the supernatural, causing an eternal fear and hatred to grow within them. And upon discovering their child's ability that fear and hatred came forth, burying the love they held for their son deep within... It would only be on the day of their death that they would regret their actions.

For months it had gone on the same. Starvation. Darkness. Beatings. Pain. Hunger. More pain. Aching. Crying. Eventually it all piled up until Volund, the poor child whom had felt the love of parents for it to turn into this.. He snapped.. Though his parents wouldn't know it for some time still, hell not even he completely understood... That he had gone off the deep end.. He had welcomed the embrace that is insanity. Eventually the beatings slowed.. As did the meals that were brought too him, as terrible as they were.. This only served to do a single thing.. Break the child completely. In an instant he changed, like a switch in his mind had been flipped. An eerie face splitting grin broke out on the child's face.. Said grin resembling a snake to a degree.. And his eyes.. The insanity that shone within them at the time would make anyone's heart stop... The child's first act during his insanity would be the death of his parents... Oh what a painful and slow death it was... The child, who should have never known how to do so, had completely and utterly mutilated what was once his parents. It had all started when he got his hands on a knife and instantly knew how to use it, whether it was to slash, stab, cut, chop, flay, or even torture. The child instantly knew how to utilize the weapon in his hand. In the end all that had been left at the scene was a pile of flesh, muscle, and bone. The child had literally flayed skin from muscle, muscle from bone, before slowly dissecting and killing his parents, whom somehow survived the flaying.

Chapter Three: The Teens, and Hollows.

After killing his parents in an act of insanity it took Volund months before he return to a semi normal state. Though it took much longer before the child came to terms with what he had done. Since that day he had trained himself excessively in order to be able to utilize his abilities to the max. He had learned that he could pick up any weapon and know how to use it immediately, as if there were instructions stored deep within his mind. He also eventually learned how to control the ability that had caused everything, his Weapon Creation. Now he could create anything he could imagine, as long as it wasn't to large.

Over the years Volund had also found he was much faster than everyone else his age, and even those older than himself. Along with this discovery was the discovery of his inhuman dexterity and agility. At an early age he had realized he had never tripped in his entire life, never stumbled, nothing of the sort. Eventually he found things such as evading thrown objects, doing flips, etc, came extremely easy to him. One day he would find that his body was also more durable than normal, though he had blamed it upon the way his parents had treated him.

Over the years Volund would continue to train daily, conditioning his body, enhancing his skills, and learning more and more. In the end all the training would prove to be worth it as he would come to find a short time later. It would be the day Volund would encounter Shinigami & Hollow, and the day he would begin to strive for greatness and chaos, though he didn't truly know he begun planning for chaos.

The platinum-blondes encounter with Hollow & Shinigami would not last long, not in the slightest. In fact it would serve to show Volund just how far he had to go still. This was done quite simply.. Volund couldn't even come near the fight, he had collapsed under the intense spiritual pressure blocks away.. It made him despise himself greatly at that moment.. From that moment forth Volund vowed to never be weak again.

Chapter Four: Latest Happenings.

Since his near encounter with a Shinigami and Hollow things had changed. Volund had become much more serious, and had begun training much more extensively, which had caused more than a handful of hospital visits. Though at this point it was well worth it.. Volund had become known by two aliases, 'The Switch' and 'Golden Snake'. His skills had increased greatly, and he now had immense potential with his Weapon Creation. Volund had learned that he could transform, and in some cases combine already existing weapons he had created. In addition to this he also discovered he had telekinetic control over his weapons, and eventually trained it to the point of being able to use it on other objects. Aside from his Weaponry based abilities Volund had trained his body into the ground, multiple times over. The results once again were worth it. The male was easily more powerful than any average human, and was even more powerful than most of the gifted humans he had encountered. Though Volund knew where his strength came from.. His ever increasing speed, inhuman dexterity, agility, and pain tolerance, and finally his weapon based abilities.

Aside from constant training the only true happenings Volund seemed interested in recently was the war. The War for Australia to be precise. Even in North America they could feel the ongoing results of the superpowers clashing in the country.. Volund found it extremely interesting and wished to go himself.. Who knows.. May he will... Only time and the future will tell...

SABER OF SOLIDITY

Custom Iramasha Gem

• Name: Saber Of Solidity
  
• Type: Offense
  
• User Type: Open to any race
  
  
• Appearance: The Saber Of Solidity is a sword that appears as if it is entirely made of steel. From the hilt to the tip of the blade, everything is coated in a dense, silver material that gives it quite the supernatural edge in combat. The reason for this choice is because this reflects the heavy desire within Volund to perfect his weaponry skill.
  
  As, at the root of it, there appears to be a desire to use this as a tool of justice for those who cannot defend themselves. Even past all the flaws within his persona, the light of Cirno seemed to look pass them and bring out this pure desire.
  
  
• Background Info: There was a man whom requested The Angel Of The Ice bring out the utter most of his swordsmanship for the cause of protecting those whom he cares for. Whether it be family, friend, ally or innocent; the man yearned for a blade which could help him achieve this task. After reading into his soul, Cirno decided to take this task up and forge him The Saber Of Solidity.
  
  
• Effects: The effects that The Saber Of Solidity induces is stated as below:
  
  Dense Edge: The first special ability that Saber Of Solidity holds is called "Dense Edge". So long as this blade is within five meters of the user, the spiritual energy of the host will become three times denser than normal. This will then turn their energy into a form of thrashing influence on the battlefield. As the potency of his attacks would become enhanced by three times. And, in that respect, most of his assaults would be akin to a wrecking ball smashing against even those of higher tiers than his own.
  
  So, one can even assume that this dense material that blade is made of would make for quite the dangerous sword by itself. As, The Saber Of Solidity is capable of damaging even those of master durability or hierro. It can mow down entire city blocks, beat down foes to a bloody pulp and cause heavy impact strikes to most material that it touches; spiritual or physical alike. Ergo, it can be used to slash through magic based attacks or cut through numerous layers of defense.
  
  Additionally, this density would spread to his body and increase his durability by three times as well. Which, in turn, will then allow him to better bare the brunt of destructive attacks used against him. Since, the opponent would feel a heavy wall standing between them and harming Volund while this blade is active.
  
  This is because the effects of this weapon draw forth from his inner sincerity to drive towards his path of success. Ergo, one of the requirements to wield this blade is that he must never forget two things: to work towards his road to achievement, and to never forget to use this blade for the noblest of intentions.
  
  The former condition is needed due to the fact that this gem was forged from his ambition to obtain accomplishment; even going so far as to endure a more stern and serious attitude towards it. So, from that strong determination is where The Saber Of Solidity draws its effect. If he falls out of this state of focused mind, then it's abilities will waver and begin to fade.
  
  The latter provision is required based on the circumstances around its creation. Since Cirno is an angel, it is only natural that her effects draw from the purest of intents. As, more than anything else, most of her creations siphon mental strength from the users mental state, emotions, values and desires. So, if this weapon is summoned out of wickedness, malice or any selfish or greedy aspirations -- then only 2/3's of it's potency will be of use to Volund.
  
  Additionally, another limitation to this blade is that it must be used for five post. After the fifth post, a two to four post cool down must be enforced in order to prevent his body from sustaining injuries. This is because the energy from the weapon weighs down on his soul and can induce forms of spiritual damage. This can cause him to feel light-headed, induce sensations of pain and make it difficult to summon his ability and slow him down outright.
  
  Material Extraction: The secondary ability that The Saber Of Solidity wields is that it is capable of breaking down and turning into a liquid state of being. Once it is broken down by Volund's will, it can then be recrafted into any weapon, shape or form that the wielder desires. This because Material Extraction taps into the inner knack that Volound possess to create weapons.
  
  And, since this mystic material is quite potent, it should sync well with his prowess. So, in a way, it can be used for him to have a base to forge future equipment from if he is able to study and master the material that this blade is compromised of. This can be used both in combat and casual threads.
  
  It should also be noted that the same limitations of Density Edge apply to Material Extraction. Ergo, he will need to use the utmost of focus and concentration in order to determine what type of tool he'd yearn to forge. Otherwise, it simply won't work.
