Here's a tektek version of Spencer. I have no other images of my characters.

Clothing and description: Spencer is of average height and build, standing in at 5'7" and weighing in at 145 lbs. He's an odd looking fellow, with messy gray hair and matching gray eyes that almost look silver. He's a little on the out of shape side, sporting muscles that are neither toned nor bulked up, and he admittedly has a little bit of a gut. However, he has a naturally low level of body fat, so he doesn't seem out of shape. Unless he was naked, you wouldn't even notice.

Luckily for all of us, Spencer isn't a nudist. He tends to dress very warmly, no matter the weather. He has this gray and white sweater that he always wears around, as well as a gray beanie that fits his head loosely. He always wears long blue jeans that fit tight around his waist but hang baggy down his legs. Finally, a pair of round, pitch black sunglasses.

Though he's been a heavy smoker, the harmful effects of smoking haven't really affected his appearance. At the most, his teeth have turned a little yellow, but not more then someone who drinks coffee regularly. Aside from that, he generally tends to smell like smoke, but that's just because he smokes a lot; if he hasn't smoked in a while he'll smell normal.


History: Spencer was born to a pair of explorers wandering the Sahara desert. His lineage, however, is a mix of English and Swedish. For the first few years of his life, Spencer was cooked by the flaming desert sun. His parents took little effort into guarding their little boy from the sun – unfortunately they didn’t understand the dangers of harmful UV rays, and it was only by luck that little Spencer didn’t die of overheating.

When Spencer was four years old, his parents ran into a group of Kishin eggs that made their home in the desert. They attacked Spencer’s parents and killed them, capturing their souls. Spencer’s soul at the time was so small and insignificant, the attackers left it behind. He would have died in that desert had it not been for a small group of Muslims that were travelling across the desert to make their pilgrimage to Mecca. They found the little boy covered in sunburns at the site of the attack, and mercifully took him with them.

In Mecca, Spencer was dropped off at a hospital who saw to his wounds. His burns at this time were severe enough to call for skin grafts, but luckily the hospitals in Mecca offer free health care to all pilgrims. Afterwards, Spencer was sent to an orphanage, where he would spend all of his childhood years. There, he was known as “Wula’had” – “Forgotten”, and he wouldn’t learn the name his parents gave him for many years.

As Spencer matured and became of age, he grew increasingly confused about his origin. He was white in a city full of darker skinned people. He learned English far more easily then the native language of Hejazi. He questioned the orphanage about who his parents were, but unfortunately they knew no more than he. Throughout his search for identity, Spencer learned and practiced Islam and though he was different from the monks he prayed with, they accepted him because he had a spiritual nature about him.

Spencer began smoking one particular day when he was 15, when he and a number of other boys from his school snuck into a Hookah bar with fake ID’s. They others had been there plenty of times before, yet they were amazed at how quickly Spencer learned simple smoke tricks with the thick smoke from the Shisha. In only a few short hours, spencer was blowing smoke rings like the best of them, and this earned him the nickname “Dentu treen a’pariah” – Arabic for “The smoking genius”.

From that day on, Spencer had a fascination with smoke, quickly leading him to smoke cigarette and cigars as well as shisha. This was a habit that stuck with him after the English government discovered him and sent to take him to London to live with his nearest relatives, his aunt and uncle. The day Spencer left, all his friends from school and at the orphanage chipped in and bought him a four foot tall Hookah, and an entire pound of the highest quality Shisha. Though it was tragic at the time, Spencer was certain he would have a good life in London. He deeply believed Allah would guide his path no matter where he went in life.

Spencer was miserable in London, and no one could figure out why. Uncle Treman was making a fortune as a doctor, providing a more than comfortable lifestyle for Spencer; he was practically treated as royalty. Spencer was sent to a very uppity private school where he primarily studied Botany as well as his other mandatory classes. In all honesty, the only thing that made him unhappy was the culture shock. In less than a week Spencer went from a penniless orphan who lived in a rundown shack operated by generous monks, to one of the richest boys in one of the most exclusive private schools in London. But Spencer never wanted this lifestyle. He had lived his whole life surrounded by those who only thought to help those more needy then themselves. The monks had taught him to live in poverty and find happiness, and thus he found misery in riches.

It was while he lived in London that the effects of his drastic childhood burns realized themselves. For some unexplainable reason, Spencer was always cold. He’d sit around his house shivering in perfectly beautiful weather. He began dressing in winter clothing year-round, and in winter bundled up even more. To him, a heavy gray sweater was like summer shorts.

While forcing his way through the monotonous life of a rich prep boy, Spencer’s only true happiness came from his newfound discovery of a love of plants. He confused his botany teachers, however, when he smoked every new kind of plant they learned about. He still smoked cigarettes, only now he was rolling his own, combining the tobacco with different kinds of plants, some not even having tobacco in them at all. Spencer amazed onlookers on one occasion, when the combination of plants he had crushed together produced a bright green smoke.

The more Spencer got into botany, the more he learned about the effects of smoking. He treated each buzz like a fine wine, even to the point of keeping a journal to describe each little nit-picky description of how a particular cigarette made him feel. No one else seemed to understand it the way he did. He would try and get other smokers to taste his brands of plant laced tobacco, but every time they would hear about what all Spencer had mixed into it, they would politely refuse.

Spencer finished his schooling and was well on his way to becoming a novice botanist, when one day, a new formula of cigarette amplified his natural soul perception so much it was impossible to ignore. At first he thought he had caused himself to phantosmiaonize (smell things that weren't there), until he realized that with enough concentration, he could still smell the souls of others. On that day he knew his destiny was to travel to Shibusen and become a meister. And finally he had a good use for his countless recipes for cigarettes. Once he figured out soul perception, it was a short step to finding and killing Kishin eggs, and Spencer found that different blends of tobacco could increase his mental and physical skills.

With this amazing discovery, Spencer left London and headed for Shibusen. Along the way, he tried to sell any kind of cigarette he could, all the while boasting about their amazing abilities. But at one time, a customer of his lit up his purchase on the spot, and before he could even take a second drag, he passed out. Spencer was nearly arrested, but the man who bought it didn’t want to press charges. Though he still doesn’t understand it to this day, Spencer’s years of smoking had built him up an immunity to what could be poisonous to others. After the incident with that man, Spencer resolved to keep his special smokes to himself, just in case.

Now Spencer has arrived in Shibusen with a new outlook on life. He’s eager to begin his third new life as a meister for the academy.


Personality: Spencers personality ranges from a literal botanical genius to a worthless pot smoking hippie. Not that he does the drug himself, but at times, especially when he’s not in combat, he tends to just let himself go. Most of the time, he’s a relaxed, laid back, anything goes kind of guy. He’s the kind of guy who just wants to sit around with some good friends and talk about nothing. He’s happy, but less of an outspoken happy, and more of a contented silence happy.

When he’s focused on something, he’s a completely different person. His seemingly dull mind is suddenly sharper than ever. Complete tunnel vision, total focus. He’s analytical of every little detail, and nothing escapes his notice. When he’s in this kind of mood, he tends to be extremely talkative, his mouth running a hundred miles an hour, mostly in an attempt to unsettle his opponent, but sometimes, a babble of excitement over some new plant or a new idea about he could use it.

He’s not the kind of person to get angry, but anger happens. When he does get angry, it like a raving mad junkie looking for a fix. He doesn’t believe he’s an addict, but whenever he’s angry he just feels like he doesn’t control himself. He’s jittery, loud and bursting. When he gets like this, his anger feeds upon itself, and it doesn’t take long until he’s yelling and shouting at everything over the littlest things. When he’s in a bout of rage, he’s just as analytical as when he’s in a focused mindset, however, his tunnel vision focuses only on his anger. However, for Spencer to get this mad, it takes a whole lot of bad things to happen for a long time. Generally speaking, he’s very passive, completely nonaggressive, never angry.


Abilities:


Technique Name: Soul Perception – Passive
Effects/Description: Spencer is able to sense souls near him with great accuracy. However, unlike most meisters who can use soul perception, Spencer detects a soul by smell instead of sight. Where one would normally see a large soul, Spencer will smell a very poignant soul. Where one would see an evil kishin egg soul, Spencer would smell a foul smelling soul. The range of this ability is about 200 feet

The way soul's smell to Spencer is more of an ambient effect, instead of a real world one. In the same way an experienced meister can see souls through walls, Spencer can smell a soul that's inside a building regardless of wind or other obstructions that would get in the way of scent. On the same note, Spencer can smell a soul better if it's stronger, just like a smelly bag of trash is more noticeable if it's REALLY smelly.

More on that – Spencer is pretty good at picking out souls he recognizes, however, when he’s in a crowd and there’s all kinds of souls around him, it’s like being in a perfume shop with a thousand different scents assailing his nose. Under such conditions, it would be hard for anyone to pick out any particular scent, unless they’re very familiar with it. For example, in a crowd he’d be able to nose out his roommate, or his mom, but not his next door neighbor he occasionally visits for poker night.

As far as sudden appearances go, Spencer would be able to sense the presence of a new soul almost immediately. A moving scent is treated more like a trail, however. It’s kind of like when something’s burning, you notice the new scent immediately, but not necessarily where it comes from until you sniff it out for a while.


Technique Name: Resistance – Passive
Effects/Description: Spencer’s immune system has grown to an extreme level, due to the fact that he’s been smoking various poisons for nearly four years. Because of this, he resists most, if not all basic poisons. It would take something specialized in order to poison him.


Technique Name: Exhale
Effects/Description: Spancer manipulates his soul wavelength to ‘resonate’ with the smoke in his lungs to multiply it rapidly. When he breaths out, he creates a bellow of thick smoke large enough to envelope his entire body and then some. Exhale is a very simple ability to perform for him, and it's as fast as taking a deep breath of smoke then breathing out. He can perform this ability numerous times in a short amount of time, but doing it too often or a couple times in a row will set him off in a fit of coughs.


Cigarette effect abilities:
Spencer is limited to two cigarette effects at a time.


Blend: Ground Jicama, Cumin and Turkish tobacco
Signified: Spencer colors the filter of these cigarettes light blue
Effect: This cigarette, when smoked, both energizes the user and opens the bloodstream, causing the smoker to move faster. Specifically, instead of taking two minutes to walk to one side of a room, it would take one. It's less of a 'let's get super speedy' pill and more of a subtle effect that makes your natural movements a bit faster
Timeframe: Approximately 10 seconds after taking the first drag, the effect would set in, and would last about 15 minutes after the last drag.

Blend: Poppy, powdered Cheese, and Mexican tobacco
Signified: Spencer marks the paper of these cigarettes with three green lines
Effect: When Spencer smokes this one, he would feel an average kind of headache set in. If his opponent were to breath in what Spencer inhaled however, he or she would experience a very intense migraine and would become sleepy as well.
Timeframe: This effect is more of a 'creeper'. It would take about 5 minutes to come to effect, and then would last for approximately 10 minutes after that.

Blend: Powdered pine bark, ground hops, and Afghani tobacco
Signified: Spencer marks these cigarettes by wrapping them in dark gray paper
Effect: Aside from tasting like poop, this cigarette does nothing but create a lot of smoke. Even before inhalation, the burning ingredients gives off a thick grey smoke. Specifically, this cigarette produces about ten times as much smoke as a normal cigarette would, and the smoke it produces is much thicker as well. The idea here is that the cigarette is basically a slow burning smoke bomb, something that releases a whole lot of smoke over an amount of time. The strategy is to combine this effect with Exhale to create enough smoke to cover a small battlefield, to shroud Spencer in the smoke, so he can either strike the opponent without being seen, or to escape while his opponent is blinded.
Timeframe: As long as the smoke can stay in one place. If it's windy, it won't last long, if it's inside a poorly ventilated room, it could last for a couple days.


Combat Style: Spencer always attempts to outwit his opponent. He generally stalls, analyzing them and searching for a weakness. He always smokes during a fight, partially to calm his nerves, and partially in order to allow for an escape in case he needs to make a smoke cover and escape. He always keeps an ‘arsenal’ of different blends of smokes on him, all of which have different effects, some of which affect him, others that might negatively affect his opponent. When whipped into a rage, however, Spencer fights, ineffectively, as a berserker, blindly striking out at his opponent with all his anger.

Spencer's fighting style would be comparable to a street boxer... a bad one. Though he uses his smoking to pester his opponent as much as possible. He'll pull off tricks by bellowing smoke to cover himself, or blowing smoke in his opponents face to try and get them to look away from him, or simply trying to burn his opponent with the cherry of his cigarette. Generally speaking, without his smokes, he could be easily be overcome and beaten, but with his smokes he can pull off surprises that will catch his opponent off guard and allow him to win.

Without his smokes, Spencer has to rely on his agility to out-move his opponent or escape. However, as a smoker he doesn't have a lot of endurance, and he will tire quickly after constant movement, and if he keeps it up for longer, he'll certainly fall into a coughing fit.


Miscellaneous Information: Spencer holds his cigarettes backwards, so he has to turn his palm outward to drag off a cigarette. He never takes off his sunglasses, like, hardly ever I mean. He’s constantly shivering, not due to any illness or anything, but simply because he always feels cold.


Strengths:
He has these cigarettes… not sure if I mentioned those?
He’s a bright one, able to think and plan ahead during a fight.
He’s agile; most of his combat skills come from his ability to dodge and run.
He has a very good sense of Soul Perception


Weaknesses:
As a smoker, Spencer sports a healthy arsenal of low endurance, the lack of one hand during fights, as well as a nasty cough that flares up at random.
Spencer is a weakling. His physical attacks don't cause a lot of pain, and it doesn't take a whole lot to injure him.


I'll assume nothing's changed with the skeleton, s I've simply copied and pasted this info from the old site. I'm more then willing to modify Spencer as needed.
