Name: Matteo Cortázar
Nickname/Alias: N/A Age: 543 Gender: Male Height: 5'11" Weight: 168 lbs Race: Cambion Organization: Intergalactic Mercenary Guild Rank: Green [0 REP] Orientation: heteroromantic Alignment: Chaotic Good Appearance Physical Description: At first glance Matteo is no different than any full-blooded human. With a head full of long black hair and a lighter complexion, there is nothing obviously demonic about him. He has a streak of white in his hair, and his eyes are perhaps 'too blue', and his canines are 'too sharp', yet it is not a difference many people notice. The numerous scars all over his body stand out more than the color of his eyes, as many parts of him have been damaged to the point of near disfigurement. From the elbow down nearly his entire left arm is covered in scar tissue, and both his knuckles and fingers have been warped from several dislocations and fractures. The worst of the scarring is perhaps on his back which features several jagged blotches where he had once been impaled. Many of those same scars have counterparts on the front of his body, most notably the scar located directly on the small of his back which mirrors the one around his navel. Clothing: Matteo's preferred outfit consists of a blue, fur-lined, hooded coat that falls all the way down to his knees. A simple white long sleeve shirt that hangs loosely off his chest. A traditional blue scarf with patterned, white, yellow, and purple ends; as well as a green wrap that he ties around his waist along with the scarf. A pair of black pants and a pair of snug-fitting black boots that cover much of his shins. While trying to get comfortable he is more inclined to simply remove his jacket than change up his attire, and on particularly hot days he may opt to wear no shirt at all. Accessories: n/a Picture: Personality Hyper focused and extremely self-driven, Matteo possesses a somewhat intense personality. He is tireless in his work and applies himself completely and utterly to developing his mind and body. This unordinary work ethic applies to all he does from sword fighting to doing the laundry. While he seeks perfection, Matteo recognizes the beauty in the pursuit and does not obsess so much over the end result. While he does hold himself to high standards, failure to meet them only serves to fuel his determination. The standards he sets are not just ones he holds himself accountable to, but also those around him. If he believes somebody is not performing to their full capabilities or working towards their full potential, he is likely to voice his frustration. A mixture of absurd confidence and unapologetic brashness makes him an easy magnet for confrontation. His strong sense of pride dictates that he never takes disrespect from anybody, especially when it’s his ability that’s come into question. Matteo's ability to focus on any given task is exceptional, and he never seems to grow bored so long as he is working. He is not one to play, as he believes any free time he had is wasted if he is not using them to grow in some way. This is not to say Matteo lacks a friendly side, as at times he can be funny and playful, he simply prioritizes work over say partying. Normally he will only reserve his taunts for those he has acknowledged as equal in mind, spirit, or skill. Matteo believes that he can learn from others, and is endlessly curious when it comes to the world around him. His willingness to embrace new experiences and step out of his comfort zone compliments his thirst for knowledge, as well as his current line of work. History Born the son of a miner and a half-demon half-extraplanar mage, Matteo grew up on the once-rural planet or Chorus. Before the war people there lived a peaceful and simple life. Every day his father would leave to work in the mines while he and his mother tended to the chickens and ran errands at home. There was never much to do besides chores and hunting. When he wasn't working Matteo was out roughhousing with some of the other kids, ripping the clothes his parents had already repaired the day before. One could consider Matteo's childhood fairly normal, he had a loving family that raised him as best they could. His father was obsessed with ensuring Matteo did not have to slave away in a mine as he had, and so he bent over backward to teach his son practical skills. Matteo's mother was well-read and controlled most of his education. She taught him to read and write in his youth and even showed him how to cook the animal he caught. Eventually, his mother, Illiana, would even train him to fight with a staff and sword. Their practice sessions would get more and more intense as Iliana taught Matteo how to tap into the magic in his blood. She was the one who would introduce him to Xolotl the guardian wolf. At the time the spirit belonged to his mother, though he and Matteo did share a special bond. Matteo's Tritaihatreis heritage was purposefully kept hidden from him. His mother hoped to avoid drawing the attention of other members of their line, as her family had been overthrown long ago and she feared they would come for him too. Life was simple before the war. Those years of peacefully growing up in the countryside would never seem more distant in its aftermath. Caught in the middle of two great empires, Chorus, like much of the galaxy, was torn to shreds by a proxy war. Brother slew brother in a devastating conflict as new experimental magi-tech weapons were introduced, and millions of credits were spent on keeping the violence alive. Matteo's rural mining town fell victim to a vicious blitzkrieg in the middle of the day. Their target had been the mine, a key source of materials for the rebel faction. Matteo's mom left to hold them off while the boy rushed to find his father before it was too late. As the tanks rolled forward and the bombs continued to fall Matteo's search became more and more hopeless. The mines were sifting with dust and smoke, each strike of the orbital cannon threatening to collapse the entire cavern in on itself. Still, Matteo foolishly continued his search, and in the end, he was buried under the mountain. By some miracle, Matteo managed to survive being buried alive. While his limbs had been crushed, and his organs smashed and punctured, somehow the boy clung to life. What sustained him was the very thing that had trapped him. The mine was extremely rich in elementium, and much of it had fallen ontop of Matteo. He was practically bathing in the pure magic extract. It seeped into every part of his being, keeping him from dying. For an untold amount of time, Matteo drifted somewhere between consciousness and death, his brain unable to process the situation. It would take years for him to regain any sense of self, and even longer than for his body to fully recover. Once he was his body was fully restored and his magic circuits repaired, he was able to take advantage of the abundant energy around him and escape. Supercharging his magic for an instant, Xolo was able to appear and create an expansive barrier large enough to lift the rubble up off of Matteo. Despite spending five hundred plus years buried, Matteo hardly aged. The magical essence kept him youthful and more importantly healthy. He has been out of his prison for around three years now and is finally adjusted to life in the new era. He currently works as a hunter for IMG. Equipment & Items Name: Jingu Staff Class: C Description: A three-sectioned staff equipped with several hidden blades, Matteo commissioned this weapon to try and emulate one wielded by his late mother. This unusual polearm is 3 ft long when its sections are locked together and weighs a balanced 3 lb. The ends of the staff are outfitted with iron bludgeons and between each section is six inches of chain. There are a total of four blades hidden in the staff; two six-inch knife attachments on either end as well as a pair of six-inch-long kama blades. The kamas are on opposite ends of the staff, and their blades point opposite each other. The weapons compact nature makes it easy to travel with, and harder to spot the hidden weapons. Name: Claws Class: D Description: Like a wolf Matteo has razor-sharp claws meant for killing. These can be retracted at his convenience, and only extend up to about an inch. Name: Fangs Class: D Description: Matteo has a mouth full of wolf-like teeth. His canines are particularly sharp as a result. Name: Beast Body Class: D Description: Matteo's body is more durable than a humans due to his mixed heritage as a demon. Stats - 100 Toughness: 10 Acuity: 15 Power: 15 Speed: 20 Magical Strength: 20 Magical Fortitude: 20 Earned Stat Points Earned: 0/0 Arc Points Earned: 0/0 Credits Earned: 0/10,000 Sources Character Creation 10,000 Credits 2 Tp February Skills & Disciplines Cooking: Matteo is a pretty decent chef. While not quite good enough to cook a gourmet meal, his basic home-style dishes are good enough to satisfy most. Perhaps more impressive than his simple cooking skills is his ability to prep a meal from scratch. He can skin, pluck, and clean most meals by himself, and tends to make the most out of minimal ingredients. Hunting: With an extremely high natural affinity for it and years of practice, Matteo has become quite the adept hunter. As a half-wolf demon, he possesses an animal-like intuition when on the hunt, which compliments the skills he's developed over time. Matteo is excellent at masking his presence, stalking his prey, and ultimately finishing them off. His time as a hunter has also made him a well of information on many of the galaxy's creatures. Trilingual: Matteo speaks fluent Fioran, Boscan, and Pergrandian. Stick Fighting: Matteo is pretty good with his unique weapon. While he seems to draw from many styles he does not specialize in a single one, and so his brand of fighting is somewhat unique to him. He learned many of the basics of his style from his mother and has since worked to incorporate both his magic and natural advantages to create a more complete fighting style. Free Running: Matteo is naturally acrobatic and possesses impressive athleticism. His animal-like instincts and sense of balance help him to navigate difficult pathways and routes without much thought or practice. Magic Name: Xolotl the Great Wolf Type: Single Summon Proficiency: 3 Rank: 3 Description(s): A guardian spirit who once served Matteo's mother, this great wolf has found a new master in the offspring of his former. Xolotl is magical in nature and possesses a spiritual bond with his master which links everything from their minds to their magic. Xolo exists to protect Matteo and as such has magic dedicated entirely to defense and support. Matteo shares in some of these abilities, though not quite to the same extent as his guardian. Unlike Xolotl, Matteo is unable to buff, heal, or debuff others and the majority of his abilities seem limited to defensive techniques. He is able to freely alter the size, shape, and properties of his barriers. Matteo also has a few perks that are inherent to his bloodline. As he is part wolf demon Matteo possesses the smell and hearing of a dog, and as a member of the 33 lines, he has the limited ability to sense life forms. Techniques: 7/7 Calling the Great Wolf - 3 Type: Summoning Range: 5m Effect: Should he die, this spell summons Xolotl the Great wolf after a cooldown of 5 posts. Due to how deep their bond is, the death of Xolo will mentally debilitate Matteo for some time. Instinct Barrier - 3 Type: Defense Range: Self Effect: Relying on animal instinct, this barrier activates upon attack, surrounding the entirety of Matteo's body in a translucent shield. This can block up to intense damage. This barrier lasts for 3 posts and has a cooldown of 3 posts. Enhanced Senses- 1 Type: Passive Range: 20m Effect: Much like a wolf Matteo can accurately discern and track scents within the range. He can also accurately hear a whisper from this distance. As a member of the 33 lines, Matteo’s further developed the ability to sense life forms in the area. All three of these work in tandem to help him paint a somewhat accurate picture of his surroundings without using his eyes. Instant Barrier - 1 Type: Cantrip Range: 2m Effect: Allows Matteo to create smaller barriers instantly in the area around him. These shields are no bigger than 2m in height or length and are limited to simple panels/walls and up to one barrier can be created at a time. These barriers are treated as (Rank - 1) with a minimum of rank 1. This barrier can only be created once per post.

Brave Galaxy is set in a world loosely based on Hiro Mashima’s Fairy Tail and Eden’s Zero. It is a PG-13 or so rated space fantasy RP, and uses a combination of character statistics, which can be acquired via roleplaying and events, and creative freedom to help direct players’ characters. While there is a main storyline, which can be found in the events section, characters are free to interact with others and their environment however they see fit.
