"The Demon"

Arguments

Personality:A very shy character, he is used to be bossed
around by other people. He can be persuaded easiy into doing
most things, except remove his filter mask in non-filtered
air zone. He is used to not being noticed, using this to his
advantage to be stealthy. He is not very good at conversations.
He will trust many things that many people tell him, except a
situation about removing his filter mask. Hates reveling his
head or face. He is very unlucky to lots of stuff. Travis likes
to view himself as a regular mobian, equal to everyone else, but
saddly he's not ordinary.

Combat traits

Powers:If he removes his filtermask in non-filtered area
he will only have five minutes to put it back on, while it's
off a "genetic mutation" will occur changing the little fox into
a tall, strong(not indestrucatble) demon-like creature. While not
a demon he can use parkour around an area quickly, with his light-weight
body. Also he can propel himself to high places with his arm flame-throwers.
He is good at being quick like many other characters.

Strengths:


The Demon Inide:
While in demon form, he can teleport over short distances, he is faster
than normal, he is 3x taller than his normal size. Travis is much more
stronger and can soak up tons of damage, but he's not indestructible.
Travis also can access a plane (not an airplane) in which he will leech small amounts of life force out of both friends and enemies.(REMEMBER: only less than five minutes will this form be activated.)

Stealth:
Travis is used to being forgot about or not even known he's around,
he uses this advantage as a ninja-like mobian to move fast without
even being noticed which works well with his parkour skills

Mechanic:
Travis is a part time mechanic, and also an inventor,
with his invention of the arm flame-throwers. He does not use the arm
flame throwers as weapons, but as a propulsion device to propel him to high
places, he can also repair motors or computers.

Toxicologist:
Tempted to find a cure for his "genetic mutation" Travis entered toxicology:
the study of the adverse effects of chemicals on living organisms. With this
study, Travis has learned to make poison, and also make cures for the poison
he can create. Travis though has only created a temporary serum to help with
effects of an aftermath of his "genetic mutation" but not a cure, he is afraid
there is none...

Weaknesses:

The Aftermath:
After placing his filter mask back on from demon form, Travis will have after
effects depending on the amount of time he was a demon: For about a less than
a miniute, he will have a major headache; for less than two, he will
experience nausia and a major headache; for less than three he will experience
nausia, migranes, and pass out; for less than four he will experience nausia,
migranes, passout, loss of blood and a temporary split personality that seem
to be fighting one another; for less than five he will experience all effects
from the previous plus episodes of anger and the will to harm anybody without
feel for a couple of days; for more than five is unknown, though it is
theoried to be long term injuries that could take a long period to recover
from. Also Travis will not recognize his actions in demon form, thus not
remember anything when changing back.
Terrible hand-eye cordination:
Travis is very good at speed and close combat, but range terrible for him,
he cannot throw or catch projectiles or items very well, usually resulting in
in falling down and face planting, or throw something over the target, or
around it. But guns are a diffent story.

Frail:
Because of Travis's small build and light-weight body, Travis is not so well
with soaking up damage (unless demon form is active), this is why Travis
rathers stealth than head on combat.

Social information

Positive relations

Almost Anybody:
Because of Travis's lonely past, he will attept to try to be
friends with almost anybody, even if he is not aware of the persons actions
or plans. He is very loyal to the friends he makes, though they usually
just boss him around for his shy personality and small size.

Negative relations

"The demon" and his summoners:
Travis hates his "genetic mutation" for the harm and no grip of control of his
demonic form. The aftermath of transforming is a horrifying experience to him,
he will most likely lash out anger toward a person or group that caused him to
remove his mask in an unfiltered area, for he would never do it himself.
Because of this, a person would have to beat up Travis and forcibly rip the
mask off his face, then run away with his mask so he doesn't just put it back
on.

"An enemy of a friend is my enemy too.":
For his loyal and following behavor Travis will think that a negative
relationship with a friend, he shout have a negative relationship with the
person too.

History

Travis Dirus childhood was the worst time in the hybrid's life, (his last name
is dirus as refered to the binomial name of the dire wolf Canis dirus meaning
"fearsome dog", ironically Travis is anything but fearsome) his father left
his mother whenever Travis was born leaving his fox mother a stressful life,
raising a hybrid and working. Travis at first was not affected by the mutation
at first, until the age of eight, by then the young hybrid learned about
mechanics and was gifted in the area of engineering and building. But the
boy one night started to hear what sounded like a whisper in his head, as the
days passed by he started to feel episodes of anger and he felt himself
as if he was sharing his frail body with somebody else. The phrase "Breathe
in, breathe in the impure air." repeated in his head, in response he
desperately created a filter mask out of two engine filters and scraps.(he
later obtains a better filter mask that covers his face with a well designed
filter to last for months, and also is designed so he can breathe as if he
wasn't wearing the filter mask at all, making it great at combat and other
high endurencing activivties.) Whenever Travis returned to learn more about
mechanics and engineering, his mentor thought the mask was for attention or
some other childish reason, the mask started to effect Travis's work, for he
could not wear welding masks and it was hard to breathe in, making Travis
exausted more easily. To this the mentor was annoyied and ripped the mask off
his face. That was the moment that changed the young morbians life forever;
Travis breathed in the non-filtered air, he fell to the ground and twitched in
a seizure-like way. Travis's eyes change completely to red and his small size
inordinarily tripled in height, his fur became bushy and ragged, but it
now looked like a coat rather than fur. The creature rised up, and stared at
the mentor. The mentor ran out of the building yelling "Monster! Monster!"
the creature stubled around looking for it's filter mask, destroying
everything in the way, Travis felt as if he was not fully in control of his
body, as if something else was trying to take control. He found the filter
mask and immediately wrapped it around his head, he changed back to his small
frail body and stumbled as a voice yelled in his head. "Feed me, feed me the
impurity of other." Travis was able to return to his home before the people of
the town came to investigate. Travis knew he had to leave, he packed
everything he could, as that happened, his mother walked in to him packing his
stuff. She cried as she explained to him that his father had a similar
problem, always wearing a mask. She gave his a trench coat with a hood (still
wears it to this day) so no one would recognize him. After leaving the place
he lived at for all his life, Travis traveled and started to study toxicology
and biology to find a cure. Saddly he was only able to create a serum to
reduce the aftermath of his transformation. He was never able to finish his
lessons on mechanics and engineering, thus making him an average skilled
mechanic, though if he would have learned everything, he would have maybe been
an expert mechanic. He still travels a lot, looking not only a cure but his
father, to have someone to talk to with similar experiences...
