Physical Appearance:
Apparel & Accessories:
[/i] views on religion and spirituality. His choice of clothing usually involves at least one white item, as he enjoys the contrast it provides in relation to his dark skin. Being one that enjoys the California weather, Bishop shows it by donning himself in light clothes, limiting his apparel to t-shirts, short sleeved shirts, long shorts or capris, summer shoes and sandals. His default outfit is a tight white t-shirt with a certain motif, pattern or logo covering its torso and abdominal region, ground colored capris blessed with a multitude of pockets, compartments and zippers for the storage of many, many little tools and tricks, and a pair of white summer lace-less shoes.

Personality:

Style: World - Territorial Tactician Any object that falls under Bishop's sight can be used to further his deadly ambitions. Be it a lead pipe of a coffee cup, the man is able to turn any junk that falls in his hands into a deadly weapon. The opposite is quite true: any weapon that falls into his hands can almost instantly be disassembled into junk. The man is blessed with agile digits that allow him not only to manipulate everyday items as deadly arms, but also mix and match household cleaning products and some stock he stole from local chemistry labs into weapons of makeshift destruction. Even if he has the knowledge to create a massive bomb that could level an entire building, Bishop prefers using his weapons on a smaller scale, preferring the use of a tactical approach with his weaponry. This man has, literally and figuratively speaking, lots of tricks under his sleeve - explosive ones. As for terrain, Bishop knows how to use it to his advantage, and when it can be used against him, topography has nothing on him.
Spirit - Antagonist's Aura Everything in Bishop's immediate presence, say a four feet radius, seems to appear a shade or two darker than it actually is. This visual effect is actually a side-effect that Bishop's mere nature. The lad's depravity is so overwhelming that even human beings, despite having their instincts restrained by conscious conditioning, have their sixth senses trigger, being unable to ignore the feeling of unease, dread even, that one would resent in the company of someone as openly vile as Mir. This unease translates itself into self-doubt and uncertainty appearing even in the souls of the most mentally hardy fighters in the country. None can't help but feel inexplicably threatened in this man's presence.
Mind - Damnation Defense The combination of vast, nearly unparalleled combat experience (for someone of his age), unorthodox thinking, tactical aptitude and psychological harassment skills has been blessed with makes out of him an unusually talented defensive fighter, making him appear as someone who is effortlessly sidestepping out of danger, if sidestepping at all. As for psychological warfare, Bishop has a habit of making his adversaries doubt their motives, trying to make them realize any potential hypocrisy that exists between their beliefs and their actions so that they will come at him with a neutered fighting spirit - long story short: in no mental condition to confront him.
Body - Metabolism Mastery Bishop, by accident, did a discovery in his first years of high school, one that could be considered as a mix of Western science and Eastern mysticism. He quickly managed to identify the mindset in which he needed to be to get the adrenaline in his body flowing, quickly transforming what was one a natural process, one that made an individual more athletic as he continued to perform physically, into a purposefully triggered one through a quick state of semi-meditation. In resume, that bastard was able to reach maximum efficiency with his body and establish his combat tempo before the fight even began, while his opponents needed to be warmed up, the hard way. That first discovery was only a first in a series of improvements that Bishop would bring to his technique - thanks to lots of reading, researching and meditating in his spare time - tampering it, modifying it, altering it, fine tuning it, allowing him to 'fool' his own body to surpass of what it would be normally able to do. Examples of the use of this technique include metabolic acceleration and natural steroid production enhancements boosting his strength and speed, lactic acid delaying and oxygen distribution normalization boosting cardiovascular capabilities, as well as electric recalibration and special dieting optimizing his nervous system's synapse speed, improving his reflexes to a state approaching physical perfection.
Weaknesses: Alas, the forced optimization of Bishop's body takes a huge toll on his body, forcing his organs to work much harder than they should, using them up much faster than the average human being. This forced treatment, as well as his natural insomnia, make out of him one of the fighters most susceptible to physical harm. Strengths: Disturbing strength, depraved grace and disheartening wit in a body controlled by a diabolic mind, one better be well prepared if he or she is aware that Bishop is actually willing to physically engage him or her. It might also explain the white hair. Might.[/ul]
