His expressions can easily be shown off of his face, if he’s excited, you can see it all over him, if he’s happy he can’t help but smile, in this way his face seems slightly inviting or friendly. Unfortunately a scar located on his left eyebrow seems to take away from his friendliness, and give him more of a fighter look. He seems to always have a bandage of some sort on him, normally his face. He has a well defined body, with a light tan skin and a light weight fighter’s muscular structure, best defined on his chest, abdomen, and arms. However despite his build when he’s fully dressed he seems rather weedy and lanky, a sort of gangly look to him. Close inspection along his body will reveal many signs of regular training and fighting. Scars along his forearms, elbows, and knuckles, calloused hands from where he pulls weights, etc. He moves rather light, and has a far, and high jump, he’s rather flexible, and quick, all of which are from his gymnastic classes taken in his youth. Apparel & Accessories: Fashion is great, but functionality is better. He wears T-shirts and jeans or shorts to school, anything light and easy to move in. He’s especially seen in sleeveless Ts and basketball shorts. If the event he’s attending calls for something a bit more dressy, Riley loves suits, and looks rather good in them, although he tends to stray away from normally black and white, he likes clothing with a bit of spice to them, something interesting to look at. He seems to always have band aids on him, be it across his nose, or chin, but the bandages are more from training than from fighting, or from some stupid accident that’s completely unrelated to either. He’s almost always ready for a fight, he has tape around his hands and wrist almost all the time. Riley’s mood can be seen in three different places, his face, his fighting, and his clothes. If it’s a bad day, he’s probably be wearing running shorts and a tank top, this is a sure sign that he’s going to go work out later to lose his mood, his clothing might be dirty, smelly, wrinkly, it might even be torn up, in a bad mood his clothes aren’t exactly the first thing on his mind. Personality: While his normal appearance seems to suggest a friendly, inviting personality, the reality is a little different. While he isn’t exactly a strong and silent type, he’s not an open, grab a drink with type. He trains quite regularly, so much to the point that it might seem that he doesn’t have much of a social life, and yet he still manages to be rather popular in school. He has a very ‘can do’ attitude, and rarely ever caves to anything. This is a mixture of stubbornness and determination, if it’s something he’s very sure in, no matter what, he’ll probably not change his mind unless something very touching or shocking takes place. In this way he can be rather annoying. However despite this stubbornness, he seems very ready to bury the hatchets. Though this doesn’t mean he’s at all easy to get along with. If you beat him in a fight, he wont necessarily hate you, he’s not a sore loser, but he will probably want rematch after rematch until he wins, he is incredibly competitive. During fights his personality can quickly change, he becomes hard to predict because most of what he’s doing is pure instinct. His instinct is his greatest tool, he was born naturally with good instinct, but years of fights, training, and practice have built upon his instinct and has pushed him to the point of reflexes that attack and defend complicated moves without his thought needed. He has a very impressive memory, it’s photographic and he’s used it in his fights along with his reflexes to help improve his fighting, he’s memorized the stance people take before they do certain moves, and if his opponent uses a certain type of style very heavily, if he’s fought that style before he’ll remember the way the opponent looks before they attack. However it doesn’t always work exactly as planned. Miscellaneous Information: Combat: [/b] Strength:D Dexterity:B Constitution:D Wisdom:B Style: While It may be impossible to perfectly define Riley’s fighting style into one style, he has picked up many attacks from Krav Maga taught to him by his dad. It’s really a tactical defense skill. He avoids ground fighting, with a lot of techniques that involves a lot of simultaneous offence and defense maneuvers. There are no rules to this martial art as it was originally made for both civilian and military use in the 1940’s. It includes fast and fluid crippling moves, and excels at striking at an opponents vulnerabilities. Of course Krav Maga is not the way he fights, he uses a mix of that and some self taught street fighting techniques that he’s picked up in both America and Israel that seems to revolve around precision in his shots, striking the right areas, and crippling his enemy. He was in gymnastics for 10 years, and through that class he became very fluid in speed and using his environment as a weapon. He tried to use a style that would make up for Krav Maga’s lack of throws and ground fighting, that almost failed, but in his search for a proper style he found a way to incorporate such attacks in his normal street fighting-Krav Maga style. This “style” is really just a blend of moves that he picked up and worked on to better suit him using throws and grapples. His favorite attack is best used against a heavier opponent, although it can be used against lighter ones as well, it’s an attack that depends upon his opponent. If the opponent is standing tall he must use an aspect of the environment to launch himself up and wrap his legs around his opponent’s neck, pushing himself forward so that his victim has to either fall down, or fall forward, meanwhile he hammers in strikes to the face. He prefers this a finishing move because otherwise he is left on the ground, and has to either evade a ground attack or fight in one. So in general, his style is one that uses his mental strengths (his memory, or his instinctive reactions) to strike heavily on opponent’s vulnerabilities, or create vulnerable areas, while avoiding ground fighting, and incorporating complicated takedowns or finishing moves using the environment around him. Weaknesses:Ground fighting, enemies with high stamina, fighting in open areas (his worst place to fight would be an open stretch of land with no trees or walls to use in his attacks.), vomits at the smell of fish instantly, gets moody sometimes and in those times he has a hard time accepting authority, Strengths: Instinctive reactions, precision, speed, photographic memory, determined[/ul] History: « Last Edit: Aug 23, 2009 7:53:48 GMT -6 by riley » Back to Top   kussro Guest [send pm] Joined: January 1970 Posts: 0 Riley Carmelo « Aug 21, 2009 15:00:03 GMT -6 » Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Back to Top All looks well to me. However, you should know that you still have six (give or take, I'm estimating from my memory of the rules) points left to put into your stats. You don't have to use them, if its storyline purposes, but remember the stats are built around your build, so if you are strong for you size, it would still be a higher stat, and so forth. I'll let you mess with that yourself, otherwise... Approved!
