Current Characters: N/A

Character Name: Thorns
Character Canon: Arknights
Canon Point: Up to date through the side story Stultifera Navis.
Age: 24
Crime: "Patricide."
Background: Wiki link.
Personality:
As sharp and straightforward as a sea urchin's spikes— just as prickly, too.
Thorns carries a reputation for being inscrutable and unapproachable. His disposition is naturally quiet, neutral, and intimidating to those used to the social moors of being expected to look bubbly and content all the time. This, combined with his extremely blunt and unapologetic manner of speech means that he often rubs people the wrong way at first. Many assume that he's an analytical asshole that thinks himself superior to anyone else.
However, in his eyes, and the eyes of those who come to know him better: he's just direct. Time is a precious resource, and wasting it away on uncertainty and doubt will never get you anywhere anyway. Best to say what you mean, do what you want, and shrug off what anyone else says or thinks about it— it doesn't affect you if you don't let it. He does what's right when it matters, and that's the important part, anyway.
"He always has that nasty, arrogant look on his face, but he actually does stuff like that? Like, he helps people for fun?"
(Surprisingly, yes.)
Abilities:
Race: Ægir
The Ægir are a race of people who can trace their lineage back to the nation of Ægir, which rests within the deepest abyss of the ocean. This is mostly reflected in the Ægir people having traits which resemble an aquatic creature from the real world. For Thorns, it is a sea urchin, which he reflects through his body naturally producing toxins.
However, being a landborne Ægir, Thorns has never actually seen the nation of Ægir or the abyssal sea, and yet— he hears its call all the same. The seaborne hivemind's influence is able to creep into his mind, and he can become inexplicably drawn to the ocean, seeking something unexplainable and invisible. When he's in its clutches, he has one desire: to kill that which lurks in the depths, and free himself fully.
Corrosive Toxin:
Thorns' natural toxin is quite mild on its own; One does not need to worry about being poisoned after drinking after him, for example. However, it becomes incredibly potent in combination with the power of other toxins, which Thorns has mastery over. This is what he regularly coats his weapons in— and what will likely take your life if you end up on the wrong end of his sword.
Combat:
Thorns carries an odd sword that is most vaguely similar to a rapier, and wields it in a similar fashion, attacking in the style of an art known as "Destreza".
He can also project a spiky shield out from himself, which protects him from damage and allows him to counterattack with his own poisoned spikes— just like a sea urchin's defenses against predators.
"Destreza":
La Verdadera Destreza, or "The Supreme Art", an Iberian school of swordsmanship that is extremely difficult to master. Some even believe it's impossible for non-Liberi to master it. Thorns is able to wield it exceptionally well.
Inventory:
Samples: One and two!
