Taxtm Sermax

HA! Finally finished!


full name: Taxtm Sermax
nickname: Taxtm, or Tax
pronounced: (Tak-stum Seer-maks)
title(s): None
gender: Male
age: 18
blood type: ~
height: 5’10”
weight: 150 lbs


race: Humal
skin tone: medium olive color (dark olive when in sun a lot)
eye color: Brown
hair color: Dark dark brown (basically black unless he’s out in the sun. Then you can see a little brown in it)
hair style: short hair (about 2" long) and doesn't like to use a comb. He let's the wind mess with it, and then just smooths it out later with his hand. Has a cowlick in the front to his right side.
markings/scars/ tattoos: One very small circular scar around left temple area (small, but somewhat noticeable). Also, a larger scar on right knee from a previous injury. Other than those two scars, no other major ones. Has a lot of small, hardly noticable ones on his arms and legs from scratches and other causes. None from battle though.



accessories: Wears a black watch on his left wrist, which stays on him in his wolf form as well. He keeps it tight so it doesn’t fall off in that form. Also wears a necklace with a wolf’s fang on it. The fang was one of his own when he was younger. It fell out in his wolf form, and he made the necklace out of it and some leather string.
clothes: Light grey or dark grey plain T-shirt, black fingerless lightweight insulated gloves (To handle ice with better) blue jeans w/ a regular black belt, and black tennis shoes. These are all easily replaced as needed.
weapons: Right-handed sword, and left handed dagger (held back-handed). If he doesn't have his on hand, he can make some out of moisture in the air by slowing the particles until they freeze to form solid objects, and shaping them into his weapons.



personality: Nice guy, and not hard to get along with. He tries to be a gentleman around women when the opportunity arises. Very patient, but can be irritated by others pretty quickly. Likes the feel of wind blowing through his fur while shifted, and is almost always running as a wolf when he's in between towns. He's smart, and knows quite a few ways to use his control of water to his advantage, especially while looking for food. He'll steal if he has to, but otherwise, he tries to avoid it. He's not afraid to do what it takes to survive. He's optimistic when things don't look good, and a realist when things are normal. Very protective of those he cares about. Also really hard on himself regarding failure. Hates to lose, and can be a little childish at certain times, especially after losing at something. Normally though, he's very mature for his age. Wheras his father is ashamed to be a humal, Taxtm embraces it, and spends a lot of time shifted into his wolf form, sometimes even while he's within a town's boarders. He prefers it, since it feels more natural, and it hides him from solders. He's got a strong sense of justice, even though he doesn't see things as nesessarely good or evil. He sticks by what HE believes is right.

weakness: Heat (he can’t handle hot weather due to dark and thick hair/fur, and since the dry weather leaves less water for him to use.) He has difficulty planning ahead of time. Also, his right knee is a weak spot for him.
strengths: Speed. After getting over his leg injury, he’s become something of a speed demon sometimes. He loves to run, and has gotten to where he is faster than most, even with his knee issues. He’s also very resourceful when he needs to be, and excels in making split-second decisions and improvising.
job/work: He’s unemployed, since it’s kinda hard to keep a job while on the run for his life.
interests: He’s interested in the various ways he can use water’s properties to his advantage in various situations. He also really enjoys running in his wolf form, well, actually, he just flat out enjoys being in that form period. More often than not, he’s in that form, unless he’s near a highly populated area.
dislikes: killing, hot & dry days, cats, hunters, solders, people messing with his bad knee, and people asking about the scar on his left temple area (Even though the scar is small, one would be surprised how often people ask about it).
friends: Not many right now, since he’s always on the move.
enemies: The Queen’s guards, and cats. (they can be JUST as evil as the Queen sometimes, as far as he’s concerned.)
other: (Ask me sometime in a PM if you have any questions)
power: Limited control of Hydrogen Dioxide (H2O)
shifter?: Yes
into: Wolf (His tail and sense of smell remain in his human form. Some of his teeth are slightly sharper than normal as well in human form.)
word color: Red
skills/talents: Manipulation of water particles is the big one, but other than that, he’s pretty quick as well. He may not be exceptionally strong, but he makes up for that with his speed and resourcefulness.
family: Both parents, and his little sister.
mental problems: None
physical problems: Bad right knee.


History: Warning, it’s LONG…

Taxtm’s father was a wolf humal as well, but was ashamed of it, so he never shifted into his wolf form after his childhood, and he hid the truth from everyone, including his wife, until she eventually found out after they were married and on their honeymoon, when she became suspicious and confronted him about it. Still ashamed, he finally admitted the truth to her. She laughed about it, assuring him that it wasn’t something to be ashamed of, and she loved him regardless. He was overjoyed at this, but asked that she promise to keep the secret between them. She agreed.
Years later, the two had a son, Taxtm. Like his father, he was a wolf humal. His mother, upon discovering this, hid it from her husband in fear that he would be devastated by passing it on to his child. Things went smoothly for the first few years after that. Another child, a little girl, was born into the family. She was human. Taxtm and his mother were able to hide the truth about him being humal for a while, despite Taxtm’s tail and slightly sharper teeth, but the boy hated having to keep it from anyone. He was happiest when he was a wolf, although he couldn’t be caught in that form by anyone with connections to his father. One day, when he was still very young, Taxtm was playing with his mother outside, when one of his wolf fangs came loose. He’d heard about the tooth fairy, and about how she left money under the pillow, and all that stuff, so, unknown to his mother, he put the fang under his illow that night, and told his father he’d lost a tooth that day. The nextm morning, he had to explain why the tooth under his pillow was a wolf’s fang, and he and his mother were forced to come clean about it. As expected, Taxtm’s father blamed himself, but after many discussions with his family, he began to see that none of them shared his feelings that being humal was a curse. Taxtm especially considered it more of a gift than anything. After that, Taxtm kept the fang on a leather rope necklace (he still wears it to this day), and no longer had to hide his wolf side around his father.
More years passed, and around the age of 15, Taxtm discovered that he could, just slightly, manipulate water particles. He kept it from his family like he had with his father as a child regarding his being humal. It was pretty easy to hide his talent since he’d go off into the woods in wolf form, with his parents under the assumption that he was off just having some time to himself. In that, they were right, but rather than run around as a wolf, he’d go to human form in a secluded part of the woods where a river was, and he’d practice there. During the next 2 years, Taxtm worked hard to improve his control over his ability, and gained a far greater mastery over it as a result. He became especially fond of freezing, then shaping water into various objects. But, a hiker in the woods saw what he was doing one afternoon, and, before Taxtm could do anything to explain himself, the hiker had run off to alert the local authorities that there was a “potentially dangerous” humal in the woods.
News somehow reached the ears of “The Queen’s” guards, and a few days later, disaster struck in the form of 2 guards at Taxtm’s doorstep, demanding for his capture and possible execution. The guards barged into the home, forcing the entire family into the kitchen area. Taxtm was cornered by a sink full of water, and, while his family watched in horror and shock, he created a thick, sharp icicle out of the sinkwater, and attacked the closest guard. The icicle wound up rammed into the guard’s upper chest, penetrating his ribcage, and part of his heart. The guard died instantly. His fellow guardsman looked in shock, and ran out of the building, Taxtm running after him with another of his make-shift weapons. The surviving guard, unfortunately, escaped to report the incident. Taxtm didn’t waste a moment after losing the guard. He went back into his home, packed up his things, and left running in his wolf form into the woods. His father, in an attempt to stop him, shifted into his own wolf form (for the first time in over 30 years) and pursued him into the woods. He lost his son’s trail at the same river where Taxtm had been caught only days before.
Soon, more guards arrived at the Sermax home, and after discovering that Taxtm had fled, they began their search for him again in the surrounding area. They spread out their search over time, and Taxtm is now wanted for homicide, as well as crimes against the Queen. The wanted posters for his arrest feature a picture of him smiling, his family standing around him. As for his family, soon after Taxtm left, his family moved away to search for him themselves. They weren’t pursued by the Queen’s forces because, after the interrogation of them, as well as many others in the area, it was decided that they would not be a threat, but would still be watched for any signs that Taxtm might return to them. They are unaware of this, and what became of them after they left is currently unknown. Taxtm, now 18, has been on his own wandering from place to place to avoid capture for nearly a year.
