Player Name: Leigh
Contact: skitterdoodle on discord
Character Name: Ebenholz (aka Graf Franz von Urtica)
Canon: Arknights
Canon Point: Shortly after being rescued by Lessing from a cult trying to sacrifice him to revive his dead ancestor.
Character Age: Unclear, at least 19 years old
Info: His wiki & more events of his life
Personality: Determined: After a lifetime of being literally locked up in an ivory tower, Ebenholz has fought tooth and nail to be allowed to make his own choices, and is aggressive in his pursuit to see them through to the end.
Naturally talented: He's quick to pick up on skills that take others long stretches to learn. He knows how to play several instruments, and is skilled at using Arts (basically magic of the Arknights world).
Quick witted: Ebenholz can and has been tricked before, but he can often puzzle together an opaque situation on his own with enough clues in hand.
Abrasive: While he can be subdued and polite when trying to keep his distance from people, when any emotion sparks in him, it will often get served with a side of biting words and prickly behavior.
Self-destructive: Ebenholz has had a rough life, and lost the first truly important person to him a few years back. It has left him with less regard for his own well-being than he should have, and a tendency towards risky behavior, especially when that behavior will potentially benefit innocent people while theoretically only hurting himself.
Distrusting: Spending a lifetime of being used and experimented on has not left Ebenholz the most open and trusting of people, though a genuine and earnest seeming personality seems to slip under his defenses faster than most.
Suitability: Ebenholz is a powerful Arts (magic) user. His brand of magic does focus on single shot abilities, so he can target one zombie at a time, and do a great job really messing that one up, he absolutely cannot target a full swarm at once, and can still easily be overwhelmed by numbers. The benefit to his method is that unlike with guns, however, his magic doesn't have a limited number of bullets, though he himself can still run out of energy and need to rest and recover.
What I think could be a fun and interesting "nerf" for this ability, especially if it seems too convenient at first, is to have him lose, or at least lose access to, the wand/dice combo weapon he has that lets him use this power easily. Without going too into the Arknights weeds, his weapon is made from the ONE material that can be used to channel magic through. The only other source he has for this ONE material would be the rocks growing inside his blood and in his organs. So he could still be useful and use his magic, but at great personal risk considering what he'll be channeling magic through.
He's also a scrappy little creature, who has a history of gritting his teeth and endangering himself for the sake of protecting strangers.
Any Additional Info: Can't think of anything.
