TOTAL: 24 Points

Strength: 5/10

As both an Earth-user and a canine, Luis is given natural strength without training nor diet. Additionally, Luis takes on menial tasks of all kinds, leading to further developement, similar to a farmer's build. 

Agility: 1/10

Luis has had no combat training whatsoever, and therefore clumsy on his feet. Easy to outmaneuver.

Speed: 2/10

Although dogs are naturally fast, Luis refuses to go faster than a jog, even in emergency situations. He does, however, have remarkable endurance, both from his Hunting Breed and previous occupation.

Tactics: 8/10

By many circles, Luis is considered somewhat of a mastermind. Afterall, Luis prizes his intellect above everything, honing it obsessively through occupation and dedicated practice. He takes immense satisfaction in knowing, strategizing, and sometimes testing how to destroy a person, through trap or manipulation. Especially human. It's quite edifying. He will formulate a plan and enact it just as readily. Preparation is key.

Magic: 1/10

Because he is self-taught, Luis only has passive, instinctually-guided magic. Nothing usable in combat, only the barest of detection (but that's what his nose is for).

Skill: 7/10

Luis is a problem solver. He is exceptionally gifted at engineering. Give him enough time, and he will work tirelessly to create most any device. Because he prizes safety, everything he creates will be relatively idiot-proof. To problems, while he may seem dependent on modern technology, Luis can jury-rig a usable solution within minutes. Time is the enemy.

Nonmagical Capabilities:

1. Trap-setting. Consider facing Jigsaw from the Saw Franchise. Luis' only goal is to get his opponent into his domain, not venture into theirs. All his traps are mechanical in nature, using springs, wires, and hydraulics. Lots of hydraulics. 

Magical Capabilities:

1. Echolocation and Resonance with the Earth. Luis can buzz the earth to any frequencies, creating tiny shockwaves. The extent only goes to the entent the earth is homeogenous.
   
   
2. Luis cannot take fall damage. It's physically impossble for him, though it does exhaust him, often to the point of unconsiousness. The space bends around him, except when it bends time as well (with enough height and pressue). His body punctures open wormholes and thus, 'portals.'
   
   
3. Luis can communicate to and through the earth. He can detect and track asynchronicities, whether it be man-made construction or structural variabilities in the natural stone. He can also leave them behind in the form of language. He calls this language, Tremors. He hopes to be able to share this ability with other Earth Latents.

Hates: Spinelessness of character. Incompetance. Superiority. Those that call or treat him like a dog. Dogs. Humans.

Fears: The supernatural. Anything that makes him feel powerless or useless. If legitamately afraid and backed into a corner, Luis will attempt to maul the offending party, much to his ideological self-destruction.

Flaws: Self-isolating. Cynicism, Arrogant, Controlling, Self-Righteous, Stubborn, often to the point of self-destruction. Megalomania. Hypocrisy. Susceptible to dog-like behavior (thrown balls, petting, chewing, mauling.)

 

Uncomfortable subject matter: None! Go wild!

Brief Biography:

Bio: 

Luis Dafou has always prided himself as being more just than a dog. He's an inventor, an engineer, a philosopher even! The Renaissance Man. 

 

As a boy, Luis was driven by passion and ambition. He thought he was better than his small town begot. He wanted to become a big-time veterinarian or inventor. But there comes a time in every pup's life that he must become a dog. Dreams are just that: gone once morning come. Punted out of adolescence and shoved into the small town's compulsory summer job; factory work at Eric's, an immensely popular brand of animal feed boxes. Eric's, famous for its DoggO's, Cow Crunch, Sheep Scooters, and whatever else could be packaged into commercially available cardboard boxes. Engineer work, like his bastard of a father.

 

Everyday for four years, he told himself that he'd get out of that job, pursue something more.... intellectual. But, the pay was good, as came with the territory. The hours were long, the days and weeks passing in a blur, and the work... was menial.... When it wasn't menial? It... was deadly. Yet those were the moments he looked forward to the most. He never felt more alive..... Above all, Luis wished he could persue that feeling.

 

When he discovered he had Earth magic, he knew his moment had arrived. He had to take fate into his own hands and, by god, he'd do it. In Avangard, he made himself Chief Engineer of the Albatross. In Aridin, he himself survived the jungle for 127 days. In Castimere, he learned the language of light and color. By god, he'll do it all over again.
