I'm really being subtle hereCharacter Info and other such fluff.
Name: "Boarfanger Man"
Appearance: Wearing a rather distinctive boar mask and donning a striking yellow sheepskin coat; it seems as if he's not concerned about his smell. This distinctive appearance also gives the impression that he wants to at least be very noticeable. He always seems to have his carving knife at his side; as if it was proof of his profession, whatever it is. In his right hand; he wields a bone club; curving slightly towards the user, wrapped in yellow scaly hide, the hide ending at the handle. Fangs adorn the striking end and red eyes on the sides make the weapon look like the top jaw of a beast. He has a pentagon-shaped bone buckler strapped to his left forearm; the same hide going down the middle, cut off at the sides. Although the shield is too light to block anything substantial; it is also too light to burden the user in battle. Basically, this is what he wields;

He often spends his free time cracking bad jokes or quietly reading. He's got a case of trying too hard at times, or that's what he believes. A sure-fire way to anger him would be to ruin his plans, especially if you're on his side. Sometimes wonders what parts he could mine or carve off of the Mechanus Armada's goons and how many he needs to slay in order to make anything worthwhile.
Base Gameplay Stuff
Element: Weak to Fire. Strong against Ice. Has the skill Thunder Attack +1 on his armor. Element specialty is a moot point.
His garb gives him an awful weakness to fire; but does nothing for his choice of weapon. Most people would be convinced that he's just wearing his clothing just for the sake of an odd appearance. Every now and then, a jolt of static can be felt; which may give people a feeling that he should put it to better use. The silver lining to this is that he may be very resistant to Ice.
Playstyle: Supportive; Although he has high INT and high ATK on paper; he doesn't have any special moves that make direct use of his attack and his END is trash. To compensate; he wields the Deathprize, which can paralyze enemies; given enough strikes. He can also apply oils to his weapon to add modifiers to his attacks; which will make better use of his attack. If worst comes to worst, he can at least take part in "Stylish Bombing", a fighting style involving item usage and status abuse. Rumors float about; rumors that he uses his carving knife on the corpses of the monsters he fells.
Really Long Fluff that gives a general idea of how I want to play.
