Subject: Teddy Riggs Mon Mar 10, 2014 9:34 pm

Name: Teddy Riggs

Age: 23

Gender: Male
Race: Human, although his great grandfather on his mother's side was a troll shaman (fire branch. Also, that guy's dead now so...)

Archetype: Healer

Skin Tone: White, though his skin has some greyish splotches on it, attributed to his trollish ancestry

Eye Color: left eye is blue, right eye is reddish black, also attributed to trollish physiology in DNA

Hair Color: brownish black, with some of the hair being coarse and stiff (guess why)

Hair Length: medium length, covering ears and back of neck

Height: 6'6

Weight: 200 pounds

Body Type: slightly heavyset, but also slightly muscular. skull has nubs of bone reminiscient of horns

Mother: Angelina (Maiden Name is Gomez) (Normal human, save for Troll DNA)

Father: Jim (Normal Human)

Siblings (if any): Jason (Age 5. Genetic tests show that DNA is untouched by Trollish Physiology, so Normal Human)

Profession: Mage Doctor

Talents: Has an ancestral affinity to club-like weaponry, due to Troll DNA. Heals faster (twice the usual rate for humans) Can percieve most injuries on others on sight, both due to Healer Archetype.

Abilities: Healing Touch (Can heal others with a touch of hands. Healing Rate is a broken arm in about 25 minutes.)
Restful Sleep (Can put others to sleep, which speeds Healing Touch Ability {Healing Rate, Broken arm 12 minutes} Much easier to do if patient is willing. Can be done to unwilling patient, but is very tough, and requires absolute concentration.)

Strengths: Stronger, tougher, and larger than most humans due to Troll's blood. Also possesses a thick skull for the same reason. Intellectually strong. Can speak orc and troll languages thanks to some tutoring

Weaknesses: Forceful personality can push others away. Troll ancestry has a tendency to intimidate others, and make him a target for persecution by others. While intelligent, not really that clever, a sign of a troll's inherent stupidity.

Flaws: Stands out in a crowd very easily. The few times Teddy has been in combat, he has shown a tendency to club first, ask questions later. Even has a tendency to go into a "Berserk Mode" where he just swings at everything that moves (get down and stay down!) Tries to repress this side of him, leading to all the mental side effects of repressing who you truly are. Easily depressed, and has a bit of a guilt complex. Tries too hard, and attempts to fix everything he sees.

Weapon (if any): a large baseball bat. Due to affinity and trollish physiology, this can be quite a lethal weapon.

Personality: Teddy is a bit like a large stuffed bear, most of the time. Enjoys the company of others. Fiercely loyal, he would die for his family, as well as his friends, if he had any. Teddy can be rough with others in speech and deed, but he means well. Has a tendency to take insults to family quite personally. While he seems to have a tough emotional exterior, words really hurt him quite a bit, even though they don't seem to. Has a tendency to condemn himself over even the smallest things, leading him to enter bouts of depression easy. Prefers to isolate during these periods, as he can fly off the handle at these times. Like any trollish being, likes meat rawer than some others would

Background: Being larger than most always made Teddy stand out. Due to most humans having a pro-pure human viewpoint, this led to most people not wanting to deal with the Riggs family in general. When Teddy's healing abilities were discovered, this ended most of the general animosity towards his family, but because of his less human aspects, he was still a target for persecution and hate. At the age of 18, when one teacher was expressing some of his beliefs about what should happen to "Half-Breeds," Teddy snapped, and smacked him in the face with the back of his hand, dislocating the teacher's jaw. The teacher immediately sued, but the ruling ended in Teddy's favor due to it being a hate crime, and Teddy was only expelled from school. In spite of this, the hospital t Gilveri was willing to take him in as staff, and give him a decent wage, to where he was eventually able to rent an apartment to a landlord who only charged a fair rate to all tenants, even full blooded orcs. Since then, Teddy has been getting settled, and taking therapy sessions every friday evening to try and learn to manage his anger. He obtained a large baseball bat for his own protection, but hasn't needed to use it except to intimidate would-be robbers and other people who attempt to threaten Teddy's life. He gets pretty good insurance from the Hospital for his health and dental.

RP Example: Teddy was walking home from the clothing store, with nothing more than a new black tee shirt purchased. It was quite difficult to find clothing his size. He was lucky that the hospital was considerate enough to order scrubs his size. He found himself thinking on that most times he went to the clothing store. As he walked, the guy wondred if he would ever be accepted. Unlikely.

Notes: When using powers, hands are covered in a dark red smoke-like aura, and eyes glow black. Energy used for healing abilities follow Eragon rules. It takes the same amount to heal the hurt that it would take to heal it normally, except the energy is taken all at once, as opposed to over time. Can borrow energy from others to fuel people, giving him the ability to heal much more serious wounds.
