RB's Audition Here - [link]

So I'm auditioning for , a veeerrry intriguing tournament indeed! The audition piece shall be posted quite soon, but yeah, decided to post the reference sheet first.

Look, kids! It's RB! 8D I'm very hopeful about getting in, because while it may be noncanon with regards to the Insaneography storyline, this would provide a good opportunity to flesh out more facets of RB's personality.
...plus, I mentioned this to *RyuichiFoxe and she, too, is auditioning. We don't plan to be a team, but...considering the characters we're using...it could be....iiiiiiiiiinteresting.

Name: Rova "RB" Beleza
Gender: Male
Species: Therianthrope - Werelobo-guará (maned wolf)
Age: 25
Hair: Reddish-gold, with black
Eyes: Red-orange (but usually wears sunglasses)
Height: 6’2’’
Weight: 170 lbs
Nationality: American-Guaraní (born in Paraguay, raised in Texas)

Important!!: RB is blind. However, as a Therian (and a wolf, no less), his senses of smell and hearing are extremely well-honed, superhuman in addition to sensitive due to heavy reliance on these sense; he's also very aware of anything relating to touch, be it vibrations in the ground to changes in air flow. It could be said that his lack of sight is not much of a hindrance except in cases of being in a new situation, or when dealing with beings on a different plane of existence (ghosts, for example...hard to smell something ethereal xD).

Key personality points: RB is, in a word, good-natured. He prefers laughter to introspection, candid conversation to suspicion and secrets. For a guy who passes himself off as a genial, easygoing, rough and ready Texan with an absurd sense of humour, he's quite sensitive and sweet when with his significant other. He is a nice guy, really. He does not, however, tolerate anyone who gets something without working for it first, or anyone with a questionable set of principles. He doesn't anger easily, but if he's convinced that someone is no good, his strong sense of morality kicks in and he becomes relentless. In short, this is a man who'd sooner be pals with someone than fight with them...but if he's forced to fight, you'd better not underestimate the lanky, goofy blind guy.

Abilities:
-Very skilled in multiple forms of martial arts, but specializes in karate and kung fu (with a hint of tae kwon do, lol); before working in the Insaneographic Therianthrope League, he was a karate instructor. He also utilizes his cane (which is quite sturdy) during a fight on occasion.
-Can shift to maned wolf form at will, as he was born a Therian; his clothes don't magically change with him, though. He's...just as blind in this form, but his other senses are arguably even better.
-As a Therian, he also comes with a bit of extra strength; this comes in handy when he's fighting, to be sure. He can't...lift a CAR or anything, but he could kick a hell of a dent in one. And he can take a decent battering...which leads to the next point.
-Aaaand again, being a Therian, he heals up pretty quickly. We're not talking Wolverine-level awesomeness, but within a few minutes a nasty, gushing wound will have coagulated.

Weaknesses:
-As mentioned, yes, being blind isn't a TOTAL piece of cake to deal with. Running around isn't the brightest idea if he's not familiar with his surroundings, and again, if a being is undetectable by any of his OTHER senses (a ghost, a magical person who can cloak themselves or whatever), then he's in trouble.
-Sensitivity to silver-- any wound inflicted by a silver weapon does not heal at a fast rate, and the blood has difficulty clotting.

A Little Background: RB was born in Paraguay into a family of Werelobo-guará, but the family moved to America when he was still quite young. His Therianthropic strength and senses eventually led him to become involved with extreme sports and activities, and by the time he was seventeen he had tried [to save space, just imagine long list of craziness]. It was when he was on a plane preparing for his first skydiving lesson that the accident happened: the plane had barely taken off before there was an engine malfunction, and the pilot had no time to land safely. It was a brutal crash that claimed the lives of the pilot and the instructor, and although RB survived, he suffered serious trauma to the head, damaging the optic center of his brain-- something not even a Therian can heal. He was stricken completely blind. After that, there was no question that he would have to mellow out. His condition kept him from most of the activities he’d been involved with, but it was thanks to those sports that his already-heightened senses had been honed to keep him hyper-aware of his body and its relation to his surroundings, and as a result he has fared remarkably well for being sightless. ...After all, he taught karate for a time AFTER becoming blind. Gotta give the man credit. Currently, he is under the employ of a mythical organization that upholds the balance of a mysterious force referred to as 'Insaneography'; he lives in a mansion with numerous other members of the group, one of whom is his girlfriend and lover, Franziska (Fran).

Moar reference!:
