__________________IN-DEPTHPHYSICAL DESCRIPTIONAverage height with a wiry lean muscular build, Bishop generally doesn’t give a rat’s ass with how he looks. His gold blond hair is braided back in Viking-esque updo, shaved along the sides and back, usually left to stubble after a few days. It’s swept back, held between two braids on either end and the remaining length of it is kept braided and out of his face. A light pattern of stubble grows along his face, kept unkempt by a severe lack of vanity. He’s rugged and worn out a bit at the ends, but he makes do.
The scars that line his face were earned from missions years ago and a thick burn marks his neck, going down his chest and just underneath his left armpit. A few more scars adorn his fingertips and palms. His arms and legs are marked with tattoos of various bands and logos.
Voice Claim:
Cillian MurphyPERSONA“A toast to the ghost that’s inside our bones.”Equal parts of snarky and surly and quiet and reserved, Bishop doesn’t really care about what people think of him. He’s a black sheep, in an odd roundabout way that’s both self-inflicted and because few people can stand him. He’s prone to socializing in an absolutely non-commiserating “misery loves company” kind of way. He prefers to observe others and react than to simply bowl headfirst into a situation like a bull in a china shop. Mainly because he can both enjoy the chaos and come and go as if a ghost - as if he wasn’t really there.
Always playing the Devil’s Advocate, Bishop enjoys tension, debate and discord, and never wholly agrees with one side or another. But otherwise he’ll absolutely will punch you in the face and curb stomp you if he has a mild enough reason to do so. He’s bristly and bold enough to just do what he wants without worrying too much about the consequences. But ultimately lives with them and moves on. Doesn’t dwell too long on minor regrets, and doesn’t cater to people that do. He worries about himself and that’s usually just about all he can handle.
- Things! -- Trained to sing opera on a dare and became really fucking good at it. He's a baritone.
- Can totally do the hand-knife thing without cutting himself. The scars on his fingers indicate he’s had lots of practice.
- Master of paper mache royal jewelry. Also dabbles in makeshift baking. He’s never combined the two. Yet.
- Absolutely a barbarian. And proud of it.
- Heavy smoker. Anything that can slowly kill him.
- Loves Hardcore Punk rock and heavy metal. Will absolutely headbang for days. Or throw darts at his ceiling. He’s really good at darts.
- Doesn’t ask for much: a good bottle of hooch and some microwavable pizza pocket rolls will make him content. When he remembers to eat.
- Mild to more than mild bouts of paranoia. Usually needs to go on a trip to bring himself back down.
MAGIC/ABILITIESTelekinesis: Pffthahahaha, super good yo.
Telepathy: Decently strong.
SONOKINESIS - Can throw sound, or mute an area within a certain radius. Useful for taking about baddies quietly, or distracting them elsewhere. If concentrated enough, he can create an intense infrasound vibration to confuse and disorient others as well, although this is considerably more taxing.
UMBRAKINETIC - Bishop’s talent with manipulating shadows stems into an intense projection side of things. He can create body doubles, exact replicas of others, and are real enough to be capable of manipulating the environment (ie. Retrieving an item, speaking via mimicry, etc). Or manipulate the shadows around him to create illusions on his person, effectively “shapeshifting” in a selected disguise.
RELATIONSHIPSRocco Cyprio Renato de Travica - Best Friendo and best bar crawl buddy.
He’s an asshole! But they seem to understand each other enough to make it work.
Jason Venner - Friend.
Went through candidacy together and occasionally email with 'Sup.'
Pilot Noble Darius Henrikson II - Father - Deceased
Nataline Henrikson - Mother - Deceased
Brandt Ellysi Henrikson - Deceased
His twin, of whom he’s blocked out most of his memories of. The years apart didn’t quite sever the connection they had in childhood. They’d both gone their separate ways into adulthood, and Brandt had gotten involved with a nasty crowd. Despite the years, Bishop can’t forget those familiar eyes, nor the light that left them.
HISTORYBishop and Brandt Henrikson were born to a Pilot Noble’s family, the best of everything. His parents separated when they were about 6 years old, each one taking a twin with them and leading completely separate lives. Bishop never heard from his mother or his brother Brandt after that. He was taken into Candyhood at the age of 12 and pulled into the Seeker program just after graduation, returning home to Travica and has been there ever since. His father died not long after and his mother’s body was found in the lower levels of Haviah, with a gunshot in her forehead.
