Rhys: Introduction and Abilities
And now...entirely too much information on Rhys, his background, and abilities.
Appearance: Rhys is in his late twenties, with waist-long black hair tied back in a tight ponytail to reveal the buzzed underside. 5'10" and lean but solid, he's heavily tattooed and sporting quite a few piercings, quick to smile and good-looking in a rough sort of way, if you're into that sort of thing. And if you're not, well, he might clean up nice, who knows?
Personality: More or less a Nice Guy, laid-back and easygoing. Quick to help when needed, level-headed and calm in an emergency, not easily intimidated but not afraid to admit when he's outmatched, either. Rhys can be something of a smartass and very free with his opinions (and other things, if we're being totally honest...), and if pushed far enough, *does* have something of a temper, but in general isn't hard to get along with.
Abilities: An experienced practitioner of magic, but a mediocre fighter. He's in fair shape, but anyone with training will stomp him flat. A decent medic/healer, sensitive to the presence of the supernatural (ghosts and such), and his tattoos give him some protection against possession, mind control, and physical harm. Rhys has spent most of his life working odd jobs and picking up various skills as he goes, so he tends to be rather eclectic in his practices, but extremely competent. He's essentially a "hunter support" resource, the guy you want when you need injuries tended, a curse broken, or a protective charm made, but in lean times, any job will do.
Rhys is partially blind in his left eye due to surviving a bad curse, having nearly no peripheral vision on that side.
Background: Rhys has no problem admitting that he left home (or, more specifically, was kicked out) at 17. He's vague enough about his background, though, that most people don't even know if Rhys is his first or last name, and likely not his REAL name. He's spent most of his adult life bouncing around from place to place, and has done at least a short stint in jail.
Incubus: Rhys's dirty little secret. It's not a card that comes into play often, but Rhys's incubus blood gives him a natural gift for manipulating human energy, which he's mostly directed into skills as a healer. Rhys can calm a hysterical victim, ease the pain of a wrenched neck or a broken arm, and gives one hell of a massage, but since he can generally only affect willing (or at least, unresisting) subjects, this...doesn't have much use as a weapon.
The same goes for feeding, since in order to take energy from someone, they have to be relaxed and comfortable- sex doesn't necessarily have to be involved, however. Rhys doesn't *need* to take energy, but it can be a pleasant high for both him and his donor so sometimes he will with someone he likes and trusts. As far as predators go, Rhys is pretty benign, however he also understands that not everyone will BELIEVE him when he says that, so he's very, very careful to keep that side of himself under wraps...
