Character (Duel Avatar is based upon my own real life personality and my interpretation of how Brain Burst would design my character ... in "slightly" cooler. Needs a fitting character, he will be different to me in real life though. WIP)
Name: *shrug*
Nickname/Alias: -
Gender: Male
Age: 15
Height: 169 cm
Weight: 65 kg
Hobbies: gaming, creating and designing fandom related stuff
Talents: -
Appearance: (WIP)
Personality: X is horribly inept with social interactions. To people who don't know him he comes off as either being shy or as being overly erratic. At times he has his good moments, and one might think that he really is a kind boy at heart, only for him to botch it just a few moments later. His obsessive nature, impatience and desire for recognition are more often than not an obstacle. Despite his efforts to positively amaze his peers, his true wish is to belong to and fit in to his social environment, nothing more.
On the flipside, close friends and family know him as a bright mind, with faults to scold and a lot of traits to like for. He knows that he is his own worst enemy, and he is determined to change that.
History: X's father and mother broke up very early on in his childhood. Regularly changing situations for both his parents meant for him, that he had to constantly alternate between them. He lived a couple of months with his mother, followed by a couple years with his father, followed by a couple years with his mother again, moving to a new city along the way, twice, followed by another year with his father. As a way to keep in touch with his friends from back then, he began playing video games, much to the delight of the overworked parents. He fully embraced the many worlds he visited with his friends, with wonder, with joy and curiosity. At the beginning everything went well, but soon he and his friends grew apart. With time their interactions receded. Everyone had to follow their own way of life eventually, maybe it was better this way. But X couldn't ignore his feeling of dissapointment. Afterall he had invested so much time with his friends from back then, that he lost touch with the people he currently went to school with. Eventually he gave up making friends, he became a shut-in, and soon, lost the motivation to make friends in school altogether. No one bullied him, but no one cared for him either. That was until puberty and high school began. What are his dreams, what should become of his life when he becomes an adult? Whats with this growing feeling of lonliness?
(something in between)
That night, he dreamed. He was in an apartement, all by himself. There was nothing that belonged to his father, nothing that belonged to his mother. Just a bleak and empty looking apartement. Then the scenery changed. People surrounded him. Happy faces, excited voices, loving gestures, girls. Things he had no experience with, but he knew, he wanted that. They passed by, but no one noticed him. Only he was alone. His body grew heavy with the rising realization. Slowly a gap opened up between himself and his surrounding. He called, no one answered, no one even heard him. He lost solid ground beneath his feet and sunk in. He felt as though, the abyss beneath him was swallowing him up. Moments later he began to break under the immense pressure of this darkness, he could only watch, voiceless and saddened, while above him was sweet happiness, that would forever be out of his reach. The darkness became heavier and heavier, and with time he closed his teary eyes. Next morning he woke up, his face tearstained.

Duel-Avatar
Name: Oxblood Pattern
Color: #800020, Oxblood (Monochrome ~ Reddish)
Appearance:
- visor (see the first example)
- a wide, scarlet-red, imperial looking cloak, that reaches down to the upper half of the thighs
- silhouette (see the second example)
- reinforced, armoured gauntlets
- low colour saturation in general: oxblood red trim, cold-grey suit, orange visor, maybe somewhere cream-white fabric as decoration, scarlet red coat
Combat Style:
Oxblood Pattern is a teamplayer... or to put it bluntly, a ganker. On the battlefield he constantly shifts position back and forth. When he fights at the front, he uses grappling techniques and simple hand-to-hand combat, similiar to what SWAT or other police forces use. While on the front his first ability, Coat of Arms, is used to parry and block attacks. His reinforced gauntlets and his cloak serve as two separate, weak layers of defense. Both absorb damage to rapidly fuel the EX-gauge. The coat will deteriorate quickly however. It will regenerate with time, that means Oxblood Pattern needs to retreat, build up defense (and therefore gain back his superior ex-gauge regeneration) and charge forth again. Rinse and repeat. He has stronger than average power in his legs, which translates to mobility and jumping power.
His second ability, Requisition gives Oxblood Pattern his name and lets him conjure predesigned, single-time use weapons. Putting very minor damage aside these weapons will break after the first, sometimes second attack. It will not consume ex-energy, but it drains stamina. 'Pattern: Dagger' is used in hand-to-hand combat and can be thrown, 'Pattern: Poleaxe' when Oxblood Pattern needs more range and kinetic power. Ex-energy can be spend to drastically increase the length of the poleaxe, therefore attacks from the second row are possible. If an unsuspecting enemy is taken off-guard or is beaten, Oxblood Pattern may use 'Pattern: Bind' to summon chains or handcuffs to take him prisoner. Additionally Oxblood Pattern may design a fourth pattern, if he is given 5 - 15 minutes and will replace the previous fourth pattern he had saved in his memory. 'Pattern: Dagger', 'Pattern: Bind', 'Pattern: No. 4' can't be upgraded by using ex-energy. The cloak he wears masks the movements of his hands underneath it, and helps when Oxblood tries feints and misdirects. The opponent may realize Oxblood's intentions when its to late, maybe a thrown dagger is suddenly stuck between his ribs, maybe he find his hands handcuffed when he prepared himself for a brutal power attack instead.
Oxblood Pattern can deal great damage if he uses his Finisher, a huge science-fantasy looking Bow and Arrow, the Boltcaster. It shoots explosive bolts of red light.
incarnate system: Should Oxblood Pattern ever master the incarnate system, he will learn to summon a scarlet-pink shield. 'Aegis'.
Weakness: Oxblood Pattern's goal is to take down a single opponent quickly and bind/restrict movements of his allies. He may defend himself against multiple enemies, but his stamina will wear down rapidly. Despite his unique flavour and his annoying combat style, he has not a very pronounced impact on the battlefield. In many ways he is generic, uniquely bland. Heavily relies on good tactics, no game changer abilities.
