this is my oc.
he wields tonfa that are strapped to his forearms.
from the protruding end of the tonfa, there are sections of a staff adjoined by chains.
through use of a spring-loaded mechanism, the chains retract into the staff sections, forming a solid staff extending from the forward part of the tonfa. squeezing the grip handle acts against the spring, loosening the chain so the weapons flex.
when taught, these weapons act like wielding a pair of flexing staffs, or when lax, they act like a pair of whips.
by the way, i built these weapons in real life and they're actually kinda badass.
they're pretty comfortable to wear and don't get in the way of things, so i just wear them casually day to day.
i feel sorry for anyone who would try to melee me IRL, that would definitely be a shock to them.
aside from that, the character can also use magically generated flames, and utilise the weapons to project flaming material.
they have an extremely high level of agility and athleticism, including free-running skills, acrobatics and marathon running.
in combat he moves quickly and without hesitation, which can often catch his enemies off-guard, but it also means he doesn't think too deeply, and can be tricked sometimes or caught by traps.
i can parkour in real life, but i wouldn't say i'm that athletic. the real me however is a lot smarter than the character.
his (imitation) turtle-shell backpack, which is something i actually own myself, provides some level of protection to his back.
backstory
in the AF series the character was a DLC mod bonus mode for the game 13th Hour.
his girlfriend Jessica Mack, literally just my own girlfriend IRL, just as a fictional persona, was captured by a criminal gang, after she foolishly tried to take them down herself.
after causing a lot of damage to the gang she was captured and about to be killed when a gang member recognised her and remembered that her boyfriend, my persona, was rather wealthy, and so they kept her for ransom instead.
that was a terrible mistake of their part.
my persona charged into the gang's base and in the game you must kill everyone you see faster than they are able to sound the alarm so that you can rescue Jessica before they decide to kill her.
after freeing her, the pair of you slaughter through waves of enemies, killing the gang leader in a boss fight.
in the process, the character learns about the protagonists of the AF series and decides to try and help out from time to time.
