Snow Li Fang

He tilts his head at you curious for sure, yet he does not come to you, attack, say anything, or backs away. He simply stands his ground calmly watching you with eyes that are not exactly human. What do you do? Run or approach?

Base Form: Here
Transformed: Here

Snow stands at the amazing height of 5'1 and weighs at most 120lbs. His body is lean and fit and his skin tone is very pale. He does have pointy ears and if he does give you a grin one will quickly notice his canine teeth are rather pronounced like a demon's or vampire's. He is considered rather pretty for a guy and also rather eccentric both in behavior and clothing choice. He wears rather colorful clothing, socks and platform shoes that all seem to come from era in Japan long since pass. He wears studs in his ear, a necklace around his neck and jeweler on his fingers. He wears a lavender scarf over his yellowish blonde hair which is long that hangs over his shoulders and down his back. On the left side there is a blue decorative piece that holds some of his hair. He seems to wear elaborate make up around the eyes and down the nose. His top lip seems to have a faint lavender lip stick on it and his long nails are painted in a lavender like paint that seems to never chip. On his back, he carries a rather large and strange box full of medicines and other odd commodities that seem to change on a whim at times making people wonder what exactly it is. In the top storage area he carries a small and detailed sword. Though for whatever reason this strange blade cannot be unsheathe by anyone or so it seems. This odd fact makes people wonder if he just liked the look of the useless thing and decided to keep it.

His transformed form does not shift in height or weight; however, he does lose all color in this form. His skin is snow white and his body become covered with a feather like fur. He does have claws and sports some unusual horns upon his head. His ears become faun like and his hair becomes pure black like the shadow he is. Even his usual blue eyes become black to match this strange colorless form. This form does sport a thin tail and wings. In battle, it often floats by some unknown power as it remains laid back with its harp in hand, a smile almost always on its lips as it watches it prey.

Personality: Snow is strange to say the least. In a ruined world, he sticks out like a sore thumb with his style of clothing and mannerism. He is calm and somewhat reserved, yet at the same time playful. People often describe him as having cat like behaviors in that he does what he wants when he wants and no one can really stop him. However, he doesn't do anything to harm anyone and will more than likely find somewhere to watch the scenery and smoke his pipe than waste energy causing chaos.

He has a deep appreciation for the wasteland that he calls home and enjoys exploring and learning everything about them. He likes collecting samples to create medicines and other items out of and if he finds anything useful from the old world, he tends to collect it and hide it away either for trade or to be used for something else. Being what he is, he does not see demons or shadows as a threat. He just sees them as people that unfortunately cannot get along with the others at this point in time. He doesn't go out of his way to harm them and only will fight back if the demon or shadow comes at him first. He does know their language and seems to be able to communicate with them and the world as around him.

When not tinkering or researching, he keeps himself busy by trying to decipher human books he finds in tact, drawing, listening to music on an old record player, looking at picture or pop up books which he seems to love, or do nothing more than sit outside with his pipe watching the landscape.

For a shadow, he is rather approachable, friendly, and helpful if not a bit strange and an enigma to most. He helps others and seems to want nothing more than everything to be at peace with each other, but whether it is all an act to make people comfortable and trust him until he is rather to devour them and turn the world against them is always a matter of debate.

The Potential

Strengths:

—Strength Name: Foreign Languages and Connections
—Description: Being what he is, he can understand, speak, and write the language of shadows and demons. On top of this he can communicate with the wild world around him seeming to understand it in ways that others cannot, making most believe he has some special power, when it really is nothing more than his desire to understand and study things rather than run or try to kill things that has caused this skill to grow.

—Strength Name: Collector and Researcher
—Description: Snow is always searching the wilds and various places for plants, creatures, tools, and other resources that can be used either to aid and healing others. He knows how to make medicines and help with alignments. While he is no weapon smith, his tinker about has helped him repair older things and even take parts to create other small inventions to help make life a little easier. He ever pursues knowledge and ways to improve and make life better for everyone, cataloging what he knows in digital journals.

—Strength Name: Ice (+10% resistance against ice attacks)
—Description: Snow loves the cold and due to how durable his body is he can take a blow from ice magic and withstand extreme cold better than most. Keep in mind he can still freeze if not careful.

—Strength Name: Iron Body
—Description: Due to him technically being undead, he is immune to hazards such as the poisons of the fungal forest or hazards that may rest in the waters of his home. As result of not having to worry about things that humans have to, he can explore further and deeper than most, giving him a much needed freedom for his research.

—Strength Name: Dweller of the Bellows
—Description: Due to being a resident of the Bellows, he is quite at home in watery areas and even knows how to swim and navigate such areas with ease and typically down more or less safe paths.

Weaknesses:

—Weakness Name: The Struggle Is Real
—Description: While he understands what is being said to him and can even speak the human tongue, he does struggle a bit when it comes the language. He's been trying to practice writing and reading by translating some of his works on paper and trying to decipher books he finds, but the task is slow going without a teacher. As for speaking, he often times will struggle to find human equivalents to words or things he knows in his native tongue.

—Weakness Name: Not One of Us
—Description: His inhuman aura and inhuman abilities, his eyes, behavior, and ways of understanding the world gives away he is simply not human. As a result some fear him and will run away if they cannot stomach the presence.

—Weakness Name: Fire (+10% damage when struck by fire magic)
—Description: While his body is rather durable, he does not like extreme heat or fire as it makes him feel like he is about to melt while also making him sluggish, and irritable. As a result he takes extra precautions when dealing with deserts and fire itself.

—Weakness Name: Sunlight
—Description: Snow already has issues with extremes heat and fire and while he has ways to manage that issue to allow him to be in and around these things longer, there is one thing he cannot fight as well and that is the sun. Being a dweller of darkness and water, the sun tends to eat at him and wear him down much faster than it would a normal person. In areas where there is a lot of sunlight like the Dryrange, Snow not only has to make a plan to make sure he gets all he wants done quickly, but he has to take even more precaution to try and keep himself out of direct sunlight for long periods of time. Too much sun exposure weakens him to the point, he cannot function and he will pass out if not careful. Much like areas of heat and fire, it makes his gathering and researching a bit more difficult in this area. Even more since even with with shade he still is worn down in areas exposed to sunlight.

—Weakness Name: The Crow Witch of the Bellow
—Description: Snow's abilities in the medical field, his research, and the fact that he is almost always followed by skull headed crows. Most people believe he is a witch of some sort only adding to the fear and suspicion around him. It has also caused some nasty rumors to spread about him when in reality there is nothing magical at all about the being. All it is is hard work and animal taming.

—Floating Weakness Name:
—Description:

Soul Bound Weapon:

Weapon Name: Koroko
Weapon Description: Surprisingly the strange 12 inch sheath with a bell on its end that he carries does not open up into a sword like one would expect. Instead it transforms into a U shaped that is decorated with jewels and the strange material the sheath is made out of. The hair of the sheath becomes faint turquoise energy strings that when strummed one way it unleashes sound waves that cut through anything in its path and if strummed a different way it unleashes powerful magical attacks...or so it seems. It is not clear if the harp itself is the source of the power or the one wielding it.
Weapon Image: Koroko sealed: Here
Weapon Attack Type: Slash
Weapon Element: (Leave this blank. Only special weapons obtain an element behind its blows.)

Side-Arm Weapon:

Side-Arm Name: Rose
Side-Arm Description: A double barrel shot gun with a black handle and silver barrel engraved with roses and thorns painted in faded green and red.
Side-Arm Image: NA
Side-Arm Attack Type: Gun
Side-Arm Style: Burst-Fire Style: All Burst-fire weapons consume 2 bullets per trigger-pull, and remain single-target, hitting twice with 70% accuracy. They have 12 bullets in each magazine, and a maximum reserves capacity of 36 in total.

The Background

History: If Snow had a family or how long he existed is unknown. What is known is that for someone that is said to be 25, he certainly seems alot older than that. If you ask the people where Snow came from, they'd say he rose from the murky depths of the Bellows and started spreading his witchery from there. In reality, he just happened to have slipped and fallen one day into a rather deep spot of water. Yes he did indeed rise from the water of the Bellows, but just because he found a way to quick dry his clothing and get clean does not mean he is a witch by any stretch of the word.

Yes he can go places humans do not and thanks to years of research and trail and error, he has found ways to make what is deadly helpful and healing. Or what is broken workable again. In the 25 years of his existence, he has always loved to travel about and explore the vast landscapes that is home, gathering and collecting what he can to help improve life and the relationship between the world and others in it. He still hasn't figured out how to get humans, shadows, demons, machines, and all that is in between to stop fighting, but he has found if one takes the time you can be friends with the wild life found through out the lands as seen with his skull headed crow friends.

He knows a great deal about the outside world and adapts to it like he's always been there and part of the strange outside world; however, to ask him why that is would place a rather puzzled look upon the young man's face. For you see before his life as a traveling researcher and collector, his past is quite blank to him.

Alright, so the one thing that sticks out to me about this is his resistance to the fungal spores of the Musk Jungles. This is a rather big thing, that demands it to be more difficult for him in other areas, such as the Dryrange, or the Eclipse. Perhaps he doesn't tolerate the heat or direct sunlight very well, given that he's spent most of his time in a section of Paris where the sun doesn't shine?

Aside from that, it looks alright. I'd swap that social weakness with an exploration-based one.
