Costume Description: It’s sort of a rag-tag Spetsnaz Commando uniform, torn in a lot of places, sleeves half ripped-off. It consists of; a pair of combat boots, pants ripped at the knees and shins colored in snow camouflage, an undershirt stained with dried blood and sweat and a flak jacket with the sleeves torn off up to the biceps. He also wears fingerless gloves, revealing his claws (specifically “bag-lady nails”). He has a large mane of blond hair going down to the middle of his back. On his face are two cat-like eyes that dilate in rooms with low illumination, stubble, and a mouth full of sharp teeth and enlarged maxillary canine teeth.

Personality: Survivalist, a little paranoid. There was a scene from the movie Triple xXx that perfectly describes his fears; Augustus Gibbons begins to describe to Xander Cage, “You ever watch lions at the zoo? You can always tell which ones were captured in the wild by the look in their eyes. The wild cat. She remembers running across the plain, the thrill of the hunt. Four hundred pounds of killing fury, locked in a box. But after a while, their eyes start to glaze over, and you can tell their soul has died. The same thing happens to a man.” Smokes clove cigarettes and drinks vodka (straight up) in his spare time. If you even talk about putting him back in captivity, he becomes a ruthless killing machine and will not stop until you have been butchered.


History: Leon Volgan Aisenyev, aka Mange, was formerly an outstanding Spetsnaz Commando, trained in the wilderness of Siberia. A private military had captured him on a scouting mission and took him to a scientific research facility literally out in the middle of nowhere. The man who owned the facility and the private military, a man named Gordon Wester, had recently come into acquisition with a DNA sample of a rare prehistoric beast; Smilodon Pantheras, or Sabretooth Lion. Many tests were done, which included various methods of torture to see how long it would take for his psyche to crumble. Due to his training with the Russian Spetsnaz, he constantly resisted it. Wester gave the command to make him a test subject of a gene-splicing experiment. Obviously this was a very bad idea; Mange, as he was now called, butchered his way out of the facility and into the wilderness he knew so well. At this point in life he went through a primitive, “feral” phase where he would chase prey, be they human or animal and tear them up. As he slowly got his memory back (portions of it were erased), he began using his new abilities and became a rogue mercenary and hunter.

Powers: Sharp, retractable claws on his fingers and toes and enlarged maxillary canine teeth, giving him the ability to literally butcher prey or enemies. Enhanced sense of smell (makes him adept at tracking prey) and hearing (allows him to monitor the silence of his moves when stalking someone), a fast healing ability, cat-like eyes (makes him able to see in the dark but also makes everything he sees in no matter what kind of illumination black and white).

Roleplay Sample:

Me: Hidden by a whole grove of coniferous trees, Mange crept around into a bush, waiting for the right moment to begin the chase. He had been stalking a mercenary for two hours, observing his behavioral patterns, tactics, teamwork, defenses…this man was nothing more than prison-drafted criminal scum; for one thing, he had suggested to his friends that he take this mission alone; that was his first mistake. He didn’t make any traps and traveled only on visible paths and in clearings, preferring to look for him with an M-16 in his hands; that was his second mistake. Now for his third mistake…

NPC: Killian Carlson, better known on the streets as “Killa-C”, lit up a joint and began to call out. “Yo, animal! You betta’ get out ‘ere and fight me like a man or else you gonna piss off Killa-C! Where da hell are ya?!” he yelled with frustration.

Me: Now was his third and final mistake; by lighting up that joint, he marked himself with the scent of marijuana, making him all the more easy to track. Mange smiled, letting his maxillary canine teeth show as he cracked a twig.

NPC: “He’s here!” Killa-C shouted and blasted a round in the direction of the sound of the twig breaking. He could see the creature running around in the trees as he blasted round after round trying to hit it. After two minutes of spot and fire, the gun jammed. “Damn!” Killa-C shouted.

Me: Mange walked into the clearing as Killa-C was busy fumbling with the gun. He let out a loud, guttural roar, not unlike the ones lions make. Killa-C stared at Mange, the animal’s fangs bared and claws out. As Killa-C dropped the gun and ran Mange bolted over, so began the chase.

I don't see anything wrong with the character.

Just arguing for the sake of it, 4 Strength is enough to inflict damage on a level 5 Durability. It just will take longer. Level 6-7 would outclass his damage but it doesn't make his character ineffective. He is still very very dangerous to many of the 2-4 Durability characters on this Site, and his Strength can always be boosted Via Experience gain and Questing. I was thinking of making a Sabertooth-type character myself but I guess someone beat me to it.

Dude, sorry...I am just a total crazy Sabretooth fan. I didn't mean to beat you to it, I just thought no one else would make a Sabretooth-type. I don't understand what you were saying about the Strength thing, but if I need to change something, I will.

Haha, no need for apologies. Yeah I'm a fan myself, and I wasnt going to make it exact to your way so who knows maybe I'll make it anyways and they can be rivals or something.

You don't need to change anything. But we were just trying to let you know before you were approved that 4 Strength isn't strong enough to damage level 6-7 Durability levels on your claws alone. Your char would have to think outside the box in order to defeat those types. (Such as slashing the ball and chain off a [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], making it fall on your enemy.

If you're okay with all your stats, we'll Approve your character though.

Okay, I changed it so that his strength was a 5, I don't know if that will be able to harm 6-7 level Durability characters. Sabretooth was really strong too, now that I think about it (since he's able to lift a whole car and throw it at people). Mange is not the most intelligent creature out there but in story I've designed his mind to be able to evolve and learn new ways of hunting and stalking. When you guys are ready to approve him, go ahead...
