Profile
Name: Altho
Age: ? (Late teens/early twenties in appearance)
Gender: Male
Race: Human (?)
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 110 lbs
Rank: Citizen
Basic Appearance: A thin, unassuming man, Altho goes generally unnoticed among the common people. Under his hood, his hairless head is usually hidden and his features obscured, although his bright blue eyes are fairly noticeable. Light skinned and very gaunt, with a calm, innocent demeanor.
Combat Credentials
Combat Style: None
Abilities
Pain Detection: In a radius of several miles, Altho can sense the physical, mental, and emotional pain of other sentient beings, with the former being the easiest to pick up on. Not only is he aware of the suffering, he feels compelled to resolve it. He can also judge severity rather accurately. When skin-on-skin contact is made, he is able to detect any physical health problems, even those unknown to the afflicted themself, such as disease and slow-acting poison. It also allows a limited degree of telepathy, as anything weighing on the mind or spirit can be similiarly detected.
Wound Transferral: Not only can Altho detect injuries, but through prolonged contact, can actually heal them completely. However, the maladies he "heals" are reflected directly unto him along with their full effects at that time. Any physical affliction can be transferred in this way, with sufficient time and concentration. Fortunately, anything he absorbs subsides much more quickly than they normally would, be they wounds or ailments. This accelerated healing doesn't apply to wounds sustained otherwise, though he doesn't seem to react normally to pain or discomfort. In theory, this could be used in reverse, transferring Altho's injuries to another, but it is not something he would ever even consider.
Weapon(s): none
Gear: A heavily worn pair of leather sandals and a beige robe with a large hood. Rough and uncomfortable, but durable.
Background
Heavy droplets of rain slam down onto the flat ground, drenching the grass and turning dirt to mud. Altho, A lone silhouette in the night, pushes through, narrowly avoiding being thrown by the intense wind. An indescribable feeling drives him forward. In the distance, he spies a small shack. Purposefully, he approaches. Without inquiry, he barges in.
In front of him is a bed with an immobile man. Bloodied bandages cover his midsection. His breathing is shallow and his skin is pale. Altho lays his hands over the wound. The man's wife awakes to see the nude stranger collapse onto the ground, a fresh wound on his midsection.
Sometime the next day, Altho awoke. He was asleep on the bed of the injured man, who was now standing before him, fully healed. The wound that had appeared on Altho was also gone, though a scar had taken its place. From the man and his wife, he recieved immense gratitude. Altho remained almost completely silent as they fed and clothed him. Then, after several days, he left unannounced. There was more to be done elsewhere.
That was the earliest memory he had. Armed with naught but his name and a desire to help others, he's wandered.
Relations: None yet. Still a forgettable stranger to most.
(Yeah, i know, barebones af. He's a simple guy)
