I'M NOT GONNA CRY ANYMORE,
HISTORY: Rowan Edward Dehrer was born as the son of a noble soldier, and from the very moment, he was born a lot was expected of the boy. Still, from the very moment that his training began at the young age of 5 to make him into a brilliant head of the family and a soldier Rowan showed absolutely no interest in it, though he could do very little to go against the word of his father, so he went along with it half-forced.
With years passing, Rowan had gone beyond everyone’s expectations, showing talents in many fields, the greatest one being that in combat, partially thanks to the abilities inherent to his family’s bloodline, causing plenty of people from his teachers to his father to call him a genius. This, however, didn’t interest the boy at all, as he simply wanted to spend a quiet life of ease, instead of aiming to become the head of a noble house or a soldier. This was something he never showcased anymore, however, as he knew that he’d be in deep trouble if his father were to know how his son truly felt.
All changed however on his 18th birthday, as he was now an adult and could to a certain degree make his own decisions. The very next day after his birthday celebration Rowan went to his father and challenged him to a duel. The duel was to be a simple one on one battle, and if Rowan were to win he’d be disowned of the family and given enough money to live by for the rest of his life, which was easy to ask because of the family’s wealth, but if he were to lose he’d follow his father’s every command, and become the next head of the house, a soldier and whatever else. It was either his ideal life or loss of his freedom. While furious at the challenge, Rowan’s father accepted it because his own pride was on the line and he had to show his unruly son his place.
The duel was held the next day and while the battle lasted for some time, Rowan at no point was being cornered and withunderhandedclever usage of his abilities was able to defeat his father with relative ease. With the young man being the victor, he left his family behind at the very instant he could and went off to live life the way he wanted.
The next four years Rowan spent his life far away from his family, living that life of ease and comfort he wanted, though plenty of times the city he lived in met with issues that caused quite a bit of frustration for the young man and his quiet life. These ranged from bandits or monsters attacking to him ending up involved in conspiracies or shady dealings through sheer bad luck, with him having to solve them every time. It all ended with the city’s major being killed and because of terrible luck, again, Rowan ended up being blamed for it and seeing no other choice he fled, going by the name RED when he needed to give a name away.
Becoming a wanted criminal, the young man’s escape ended with him fleeing by boat from a port town, hoping to escape the misguided grasp of law in a country far, far away from his home nation. Everything went by smoothly till a sudden storm came crashing, with a huge wave swallowing RED along with his boat. After that everything went dark and as his last thoughts he couldn’t help but think it was all over.
RED to his own surprise, however, found himself stranded on the shore of some island. No idea where he was, the young man is now left to ponder what to do first.
FAMILY: Father (48), mother (45), younger brother & sister (3)
POWERS:
Crimson Force [Life-force Manipulation]
The ability to manipulate and weaponize one’s own life energy in many different ways, divided between Principles.
Sense - The first thing required of a person to even start learning to manipulate life-force is to unlock the sixth sense sealed within, something that is impossible naturally and either needs to be an ability you're born with or have awakened by another, which allows one to “see” life around them within all that is alive, how strong this life is, its location, size, and current state. The range can be trained, with RED’s own being an impressive 10-meter radius.
Generation - The very basic of manipulating one’s own life-force, forcefully leaking it out of one’s own body and manifesting it into a physical form while keeping it surrounding the body, which in RED’s case takes on a color close to that of blood and remains in a gas-like state, as if it were bloody mist.
The life energy that is generated and maintained becomes almost like a gaseous armor, that can weaken attacks taken, though not by all that much. Generation is simply the first step to allow using life-force after all.
Concealment - Different to the idea of Generation, as instead of leaking the life energy the user seals it inside their body, preventing it from flowing at all inside their body. In this concealed state, the user becomes weaker than they normally they are, however, they can recover from fatigue much faster than normal and their presence becomes practically nonexistent, making it impossible for people to find them with the sixth sense or special abilities -unless they involve one of the five senses-.
Construction - Technique that involves taking the life energy manifested through Generation and manifest it further into a more physical state -or rather mimicking one-, freely controlled within the states of matter. This allows the user to create weapons, armor, platforms, or whatever else, as long as they have the imagination and the life-force necessary.
The user cannot change the state or shape of the life energy unless in close range with, and life-force constructions maintain their shape normally about a couple of minutes, unless their shape is kept together constantly by the creator, though the time limit can be controlled with the amount of life-force used to create the construction. Once the time limit is up, the construction dissipates into the air.
Infusion - Technique that involves taking the life energy manifested through Generation and injecting it into something, be it to enhance or damage.
When life-force is injected into an object or a person, its nature is controlled by the user.
Reinforcing the thing the life energy is concentrated into makes it more durable as well enhances its capabilities further, with the amount of energy used dictating the enhancement’s effectivity. Some of the utilities include infusing the whole body for enhanced physical capabilities, eyes to see further, hastening body’s healing abilities, recovering stamina to making a blade sharper and more durable. Infusion can even be used to unlock one's sixth sense, possibly allowing anyone to manipulate life-force with enough effort and talent, though in RED's family's case this wasn't necessary.
The life-force, when infused being hostile, has the opposite effects, ranging from weakening or straight up damaging the things it was injected with. This allows for utility ranging from causing damage internally with a pulse, weakening one’s muscles or making an object more easy to break.
Infusion absolutely requires contact with the thing the infusion is performed to, with more precise and bigger infusions requiring more time to perform.
Though highly dependent on the amount of life energy used, the effects of infusion tend to last 3-5 minutes without RED maintaining it.
When an object is infused with RED's life-force it gain's a crimson aura around it, and while people and animals gain the same aura, they as well receive a change in appearance, eyes turning red and hair turning white.
RED can prevent an aura from forming around the object infused with his life-force, though he'd need to be in constant contact with it.
Life energy is the source of life in all things living, with no exception, meaning that if one uses too much of their innate energy they will become exhausted, lose consciousness or even end up dying.
Some R&R, with a hearty meal, is the best way to recover one’s life energy.

DOWN THE STREETS I LOVE,
OOC NAME: Verdant
HOW DID YOU FIND US: Ad
PASSWORD: Moon Cookies
CUSTOM TITLE: Crimson Sloth
ROLEPLAY SAMPLE:RED was genuinely surprised. Really. He was. With how his luck's been for the past four he would've never guessed in his wildest dreams that he could've avoided dying at the hands of the stormy sea, once his boat was swallowed up by a huge wave. Hell, most people wouldn't think they would survive at that point.
Basking in amazement of this once-in-a-lifetime miracle, RED remained motionless, lying down on the sand as gentle waves brushed up to his waist. His mouth was dry as hell and his stomach growled, begging for its owner to acquire something to eat, but the man ignored his stomach, instead concentrating on the sound of the waves and the cries of the seagulls, persisting on staying where he was.
"The sky sure is pretty today," RED told to no one. Maybe it was because he had almost died, but the blue of the sky without a single cloud staining that perfect canvas just seemed so much more beautiful and captivating than ever before.
Stuck like this for a while, once the brunette was finally done basking in his survival and enjoying the sight of the sky he reluctantly stood up, too lazy to bother brushing off the sand on his clothes, which surprisingly were in perfect condition, or hair RED began to analyze his surroundings. Away from the water, there was a vast jungle, at the sight of which the man simply grimaced at from the thought of having to traverse it alone. The other option was to traverse along the shoreline, as some distance away he could see something. Once enhancing his sight, his hair turning white and his eyes red as the side effect of his Infusion, RED was able to tell that the objects in the distance were ships. Though in bad shape, most if not all being complete wrecks, it did raise the possibility of other people being stranded on this island. There was also the chance of the ships containing long-lasting foods or generally useful items with good luck.
Not bothering to think for too long, as going into the jungle was a gamble, what with the wild- and plantlife possibly being dangerous, including the very small chance of finding people, RED took what seemed like the best course of action to him and began walking along the shore, while groaning with each soggy step taken because of the uncomfortable feeling of his soaked shoes.- - - - - - - - - -
