Murcielago Colbane

WARNING: This article may contain Spoilers for an ongoing or future storyline that has not been completed yet Murcielago Colbane is the Lieutenant of the 2nd Company of the Palace Guard. Formerly a mercenary operating on the edge of Leonnesh's border, Murcielago's family was killed in a raid, with him barely surviving. He allowed an alchemist to experiment on his body in exchange for a restoration of health and power sufficient to take revenge. He did receive such power, but it left him with an unnatural, somewhat monstrous body. He was a prominent outlaw for a few years, eventually agreeing to join the royal military police under Akasha Snakesong to avoid punishment. He must regularly consume a numbing alchemical compound to maintain his body's constitution.

Appearance
Murcielago is exceptionally tall and muscular, with a broad jawline and wide shoulders. He has large spiky black hair that shoots back from his sloping forehead. Murcielago‘s skin is red and his eyes have white pupils and black sclera. His veins become visible outlined in black when he uses his blood grid.

Murcielago wears the standard gold-lined blue jacket of the palace guard.

Personality
Murcielago is violent, temperamental, and merciless. Despite his outlaw past, he has a strong, strictly legalistic sense of justice and enforces the law to the letter. He is in passive, constant pain due to his physiology and can only truly relax during the brief periods after consuming his numbing solution. He has a somewhat Darwinian philosophy of the strong surviving.

Skills and Equipment
Murcielago has exceptional skills in both armed and unarmed combat. He has strong combat instincts and is able to quickly read an opponent's fighting style. The experimentation on his body has allowed him to harden and manipulate his own blood. His skin is superhumanly durable and he is able to regenerate by rebuilding flesh out of his blood. He is even able to regenerate entire limbs. Murcielago generally uses his abilities to make crude bladed weapons emerge of his arms and adopts a close to medium range fighting style.

He carries the standard equipment of a palace guard and a massive red sword made out of his own blood.
