Name:Richard Trithardt Alias:N/A Date of Birth:03/08/94 Age:15 Nationality:Canadian/North American Ethnicity:Caucasian Blood Type:O- Height:5’10 Weight:165lbs Hair Colour:Brown Eye Color:Green Handedness:Right Sexual Orientation:Straight[/ul]
Physical Appearance:
[/I] Small eyes, not grossly undersized or anything of the such, he just tends to squint a lot, which seems to give him a more serious look with his brow pushed forward and his eyes slit. A normal sized nose, but he tends to get a pimple on the inside crevice of his nostrils, which may or may not be covered when his nose flairs. His lips are often split or swollen, but when they are normal they seem to be firmly pressed together with a big bottom lip in comparison to an average ideal. His ears tend to stick out, but aren’t oversized or anything. He likes to keep his hair short so he doesn’t have to comb it, especially after being told he’s attending a school with a dress code. He got it buzzed off so it’s just barely longer then a ‘Bobby Hill’ cut.
Build: For his size he has a thick neck on a small frame, which looks a bit odd with his small shoulders but should even out as he grows. He actually has a fairly normal build for a teenager, no grossly oversize muscles, but a medium build in terms of muscle mass, but put on a smaller frame. His forearms are toned, showing he has some grip strength while his biceps aren’t flabby, but they don’t build with dense overlapping muscle either. His pecks are small, but toned, the same with his abdomen. There’s not much to say about them, he works on keeping his core in shape. The odd thing about his body is his legs, which when shown look large when placed on his body. His thighs are unusually large and toned, as are his quadriceps.
Distinguishing features: A faint scar runs along his right jaw from when he was a kid, it’s nearly invisible unleash you look for it or know it’s there, but it runs then length of his jaw from under his ear to the corner of his lip. He also has unusually large knuckles from cracking them before practice.
[/ul]
Apparel & Accessories: Loose denim blue jeans, grey socks, and a variety of short and long sleeved shirts. His shirts tend to fall into the category of shade, rather then colors. Black and White is his favourite amongst the bunch. He has a pair of $15 Oakley rip-offs that he occasionally wears if it’s bright, and usually always stuffs his hair under a UFC hat, or one of his older hats that’s just a plain black.
Style:Mixed Martial Arts, though he trains more so with a combination of Muay Thai and Brazilian Jujitsu. He’s learned the 22 punches of Muay Thai, the first four basic knees and elbows for striking, as well as the leg, body and head kick. For his ground-game he tends to like being on the bottom, finding it easier to manipulate an opponent’s body that way. When standing he’s still learning how to put combinations together, but his blocking and focus has gotten really strong, allowing him to adapt more easily to different situations.
Weaknesses:While standing he still hasn’t gotten into the grove of what to do and when, making him have to think about it more. He’s also still getting into the feeling of his newly grown body, making some of his movements in striking a bit awkward. On the guard he lacks some flexibility with his legs, so when he’s in a disadvantage position he tends to tense up more then he should. Because he’s still growing, and had just grown quite a bit, his major joints are a bit weaker then usual, so his elbows and knees are more easily injured and tend to get sore a bit quicker.
Strengths:His left hand is pretty crisp and faster, while his right is more of a sniper rifle, but neither has one-shot knock-out power. His legs are fast for his size, and after working on technique and form he’s developed oddly strong power kicks. He doesn’t have any suitable wrestling knowledge, but knows quite a few submissions on the ground and has the constitution to remain calm while rolling in order to set them up. He’s also particularly big for his age, having just hit a growth spurt over the summer, and with his history of weight lifting he has a build looking more like that of a 17-18 year old. [/ul]
Yeah, we've been a bit busy discussing board stuff the last couple of nights, kinda explains away the lack of staff approval, but here I am. Aren't you overjoyed?
Anyway, the bio.
Shameless self-insert, there's no avoiding it, but however I read it, the criteria is there. The only thing I'd suggest for future is to not use the text colour. It's very straining on the eyes, at least I found it to be the case.
