Appearance – Strazio’s skin is a battlefield riddled with scars and calloused flesh. His hair is starch white, the color long since stressed out. Barely a drop of fat exists on his frame, with his scarred skin stretched over tight bands of muscles. Most of these are the result of years spent abusing destructive magicks. One might be tempted to say his tortured body is his most striking feature, those that have spent any length of time with him know that his scowl is more distinctive than any scar on his body. Rarely, is the man seen happy, and more often appears to be just short of exploding.
Personality – Strazio is defined by his anger. His entire life has been built around his hatred of the man that killed his family. This rage permeates every interaction Strazio has with others. The smallest of slights can, and most likely will, set him off and give the offender an enemy for life. Strazio is hard to get along with, and even harder to like. Though his anger defines him, it isn’t the only facet of his character. He is viciously loyal to those he considers friends and can be outright jovial in the right circumstances. But, more often than not, some idiot pisses him off and he loses any semblance of cool. He can be arrogant, especially when it comes to magick, something he considers himself an expert in. However, since coming to the Crossroads he has lost his magick and his belief in himself has been shaken.
Possible Reactions – Above all Strazio hates arrogance, openly insulting anyone he perceives as too far up their own ass. Beyond that, he is likely to be frustrated and belligerant when encountering anyone that has beat him previously and outright disdainful towards anyone he's beaten.
Relationships – Elise is really the only aquaintance he has. He respects her since she helped him on Mesa Roja, but she isn't above his ire.
Other than that, he might have a faint familiarity with contestants - nothing more than the faded remnants of a past existence.
‘Combat’ Style – Strazio fucks people up. Self-preservation takes a backseat to aggression. That isn't to say he is without tactics, he can be a very resourceful fighter given the opportunity. Should he manage to manifest his God-mind powers he becomes an efficient and emotionless murderer.
Eligible Abilities –
Reckless Swings - 50
Godmind - 1200
Deconstruct - 600
Oppressive Presence - 150
Extra – Straz has lost his magick and feels bad about it. In the void left by his magick some nebulous creature exists, which surfaces whenever Strazio is exceptionally calm and collected. Essentially when his eyes turn green he's in a sort of zen mode.

Within Strazio’s psyche lurks stubborn remnants of a past life. While Strazio’s natural temper generally keeps these remnants fragmented and submerged, occasionally they come to the surface. When manifested, Strazio’s eyes turn emerald, and he gains a host of new abilities as well as a drastically changed temperament. He becomes aware of all unshielded thoughts in a generous area around him, allowing him to be aware of the position of sentient creatures. Additionally he blankets himself in a telekinetic field, which allows him flight and deflects most harm leveled at him. Finally he can use this telekinetic field to manipulate objects with enough force to turn them into projectiles. This Godmind form is not something easily accessed or maintained by Strazio. To access it he must be in a calm state of mind, as well as spend at least a minute of uninterrupted meditation to collect and focus his thoughts. Once Godmind is active he must maintain a serene state of mind or else the transformation will shatter. And, even if he should control his temper, the severe strain put on his mind by this transformation causes his brain to burn out and overheat, placing a limit on how long he can actually stay in the form.

Using his telekinetic prowess Strazio reaches out and freezes an opponent in place. From this he can exert psychic influence into the target’s flesh and begin stripping it away. This process requires Strazio’s undivided attention, and should he be distracted or otherwise lose focus his target is released.
