Owen Wilcox / Artisan

Name/Alias: Owen Wilcox / Artisan

Age: 17

Physical appearance: Owen is a young proud man, with blond haired and hazel eyes.

As Artisan, he wears a red robe and hood, a cloth belt and knee high leather boots. He has carbon steel bracers, pauldrons, helmet, and chest piece (that is hidden underneath his robes).

Mentality: Does the best he can do, when he’s capable of doing it. Pride is certainly his sin however, as he is more likely to help out for his own benefit (whether it be fame or money). Although there will be times where someone could tug at his heartstrings and pulls him along.

Backstory: Owen is your average teenager, who went to school, got decent grades, was nearing graduation, and triggered. Well, the last part only happens to a few. He had gotten into a serious fight with his father, who was too demanding and constantly tried to turn him into his model child that would inherit his business. They’d always verbally fight, but it eventually came to the point where his father grabbed a nearby wrench and threatened to beat his son with it until he got the message.

Fearing the danger, and not wanting to entirely fight his father (there was some mixed emotions that made him want to beat his father), Owen triggered and ran away from home.

Resources: Doesn’t have much to his name, a few hundred dollars if anything. Has a rundown car that he inherited from his father, and is currently living with a friend.

Alignment: Solo Hero.

Equipment/Weaponry: He’s managed to get his hands on some steel and iron to form himself some weapons. A short sword on his hip, long (5”) needles to pierce and pin down opponents, an iron staff, steel brass knuckles, and his favorite bastard sword.

Specializations: Ever since gaining his power, Owen has been practicing with swords and staves, as well as the occasional archery practice. Could use some more practice but he’s better than the average chump. Was actually studying marine biology before he triggered, so he has a decent amount of knowledge on it, but hopes to return back to his studies. He’s also rather strong for his age, being able nearly deadlift his own weight (230 lbs), and is building up his stamina with lots of cardio workouts.

Power: Artisan is a Striker capable of molding weapons and armor from the materials around him. He places his hand against a solid surface and from that a weapon or armor piece is formed. Since his most common material is concrete, asphalt, and bricks, he has a tendency to create blunt weaponry and sturdy (but incredibly heavy) armor.

Small weapons, such as knives/daggers, needles, arrows, brass knuckles, etc. take from 3-6 seconds; weapons such as short swords, hand axes, sickles, clubs, etc. take from 10-15 seconds; larger weapons such as polearms, greatswords, hand-and-a-half greatswords, greataxes, warhammers, etc. take from 18-20 seconds. Armor also has similar timings, with bracers and shin guards taking around 5-10 seconds, helmets around 10-13 seconds, and a chest plate would take around 18-20 seconds.

Artisan’s Shard also provided him with the intuitive knowledge on crafting related to armoring, weapons, and combat.

The limit to his creations are expansive but still limited. He cannot create guns or weapons of equal complexity (such as crossbows), for they usually require too many different materials, and small intricate parts that his shard can’t pick out. He would still be able to craft a wooden bow, but would require string and additional arrows.

Versatility: Capable of making weapons on the fly and in the midst of a battle. He’s never without something to beat someone with.

Example: Artisan moved in and jabbed his staff into the criminal’s gut, before he kicked at the back of his leg and knocked the criminal onto his knees. With another knee strike into the criminal’s face, he knocked him flat onto the ground. Victory was certain, only he didn’t expect him to knock Artisan onto his back with a leg sweep.

Now the criminal mounted Artisan and tried to rip his helmet off of him. Only he reached out to his side to the pavement and crafted a stone baton. He knocked it alongside the criminal’s jaw, and he collapsed next to him. With the criminal knocked over onto the ground and unconscious, Artisan got back onto his feet and brought the man to justice.
