Valerius Bates

This is an article about Valerius Bates, a character created by Tyflo. Valerius Cassius Bates is an 18 year old Arctic Fox with a snobby and rude attitude, despite being a jerk, he's pretty smart and has a crude friendliness about him once you get to know him, he has the power to create and enchant fake gems at will.

Appearance
Valerius is Slim and ever so slightly below average height though despite his small stature he cuts an imposing presence. He's a silver colour with gold coloured hair, which is slightly messy and somewhat long, he's got remarkably soft fur. His posture is very good and he stands up straight and seems collected and organised due to this, He has mismatched eyes, one of which is blue and the other gray. He usually dresses Business Casual, he wears leather dress shoes, a pair of black or beige trousers, a dress shirt (usually a soft pink or soft blue) a cardigan or a hoodie and a fancy watch. It's very easy to tell what emotion he's feeling, his neutral face is a slight scowl but this changes very fast.

Personality
Valerius' first noticable trait is that he's very affluent, he's well spoken, despite this he uses quite a few slang or more urban words, which makes his speech quite weird to listen to at first. He is also very sassy, sort of a dick even, He tends to make fun of things and is a kinda passive aggressive.He's very unaware of many social norms as well, mostly due to his sheltered childhood, for example he is very nosey and curious.

He's got a very gruff and rough sense of kindness about him, despite acting irritable and uninterested he does a lot of nice things, though he often complains about this. He's very open to ideas and enjoys learning new things, though he does tease people who he sees as less intelligent or without noticeable talents pretty badly. Despite being a dick almost all the time, he's very communicative, it's easy to tell his true intentions behind his word, if he insults someone, even if he doesn't try to, he makes it obvious whether or not he means to upset them.

He enjoys teaching people things, he's also quite good at teaching and is very intelligent. He gets flustered and embarrassed very easily. Despite being rude and sassy he's very loyal and caring to his friends and makes it clear through his incessant teasing that he really does value them.

History
I'll do this later.

Strenghts and Powers:
Val is nothing special physically, he's an acceptable fighter and sportsman but isn't anything out of the ordinary, he's no stronger than the average mobian and no faster either, he also picks bad shoes for running.

Val is intelligent academically but isn't great at applying his knowledge to real world situations, simply because he spends too much time thinking about things.

He's got the power to create gems from seemingly thin air, though this on it's own has little use in a fight, he can use the gems to bribe people pretty easily, he also seems to be able to create minor illusions though he does this infrequently, in dire situations he can make the gems he creates explode weakly.

Weaknesses:
He's a dick, he's really really rude, like really rude, this gets him into trouble quite a lot.

Although he's acceptable physically, he's not a trained fighter and therefore not a good fighter, he can hold his own against an untrained combatant, but he'd do badly in say, a tournament, he lacks the reflexes and on the spot smarts to outsmart an opponent properly.

He's simultaneously overemotional and very hotheaded, he gets upset easily and angry easily, when he's insulted or something bad happens, he's very bad at controlling himself, often lashing out and getting upset at the same time.

Trivia:
His favorite colour is gold, big suprise.

Artic foxes are found in cold climates, which is why he gets too hot easily.

Valerius derives from the latin word Valeres which means to be strong and to be brave, which makes sense, because while he's not strong, he's willing to risk himself to do things.

Val is a remake of a remake of a remake of the original character I had on this site, you could try and look him up, but his name is "Flame" so good luck, he was real bland anyway.
