Dakota Ho'kee

[attr="class","temptitle"]Personality

[attr="class","temptabinf"]Dakota, as a young boy, was extremely optimistic and hopeful for the future. He enjoyed socializing and playing with other kids and being a typical child. Often times he got into a lot of trouble, climbing trees and staying up there when told to get down, snagging cookies from the cookie jar, those sort of things. It wasn't until his mother passed away that everything fell apart. Following the deaths of his two older siblings soon after Dakota changed. He grew up too fast, becoming mature at a young age to take care of a younger sister. Currently Dakota puts on a front, acting confident and arrogant with a sarcastic and sassy tongue. He has an uncaring and lazy attitude with strangers and even people he knows. He's often seen as rebellious, a troublemaker, and a delinquent (those attributes also being given based on his species). But once gaining Dakota's trust it's revealed that he is actually a lot softer, especially around children. He's extremely protective of those he cares about and also extremely loyal as well. He would lay down his life if it ever came to that. He can be cold when angered and is capable of quite the temper as well. Even so he'd rather avoid a fight just depending on his mood that day, whether it be he's too lazy to fight or flat out doesn't feel like it. On jobs he can be very serious and often merciless, since for him everything is on the line for him.

[attr="class","temptitle"]Appearance

[attr="class","temptabinf2"]Dakota has lightly tanned skin, but can still be considered pale, with various scars on him and a few small burn marks. The most notable scars though are one long scar that runs from the crown of his hairline down his right eye and continuing down his throat and stopping just below his right collar bone, an X shaped scar on his back, a V shaped scar on the back of his neck, and a moderately size burn scar on his left hip due to an accident. His height reaches 6'2" and weighs 162 lbs. He has crimson red hair with the part on the left side of his head with sweeping bangs, the back coming down to the middle of his neck, maybe a little lower. His left eye is normal with a white sclera and blood red iris and black pupil. His right eye, however, is black due to being forcefully dyed and a white iris due to odd genetics in the family on his mother's side. His right eye has slightly weaker sight compared to his left eye, based on genetics once more with a lot of blind ancestors on his mother's side. Typically he wears a black leather jacket with an attachable hood, with either a white or red or black t-shirt underneath, black leather gloves (recent), black loose leather pants and black combat boots with a metal toe end. Around his waist there's usually a dark red belt with silver spikes on it. Around his neck is a chain necklace with a metal cross as the end. His ears are pierced, three on his right and six on his left. In between his shoulder blades, near his neck, he has a dream catcher tattoo with red white and blue coloring, the American flag wound around it, and two white and black feathers. Typically hidden under his jacket strapped to his waist are two simple black handguns with a few sheathed knives attached as well for whenever he needs to get out of a sticky situation without using his powers.

[attr="class","temptitle"]History

[attr="class","temptabinf3"]Dakota was born on December 13, 1996 in a small town in Virginia, in the United States of America. He was the third child at the time with a brother of six years, Jared, and a sister of ten years, Autumn. His parents were both Hellions, his mother a loving woman of Native American descent, Adsila, and his father a harsh man of Russian descent, Andrei. His childhood was relatively normal, playing with his siblings and friends and being a typical family. However, that changed when his mother gave birth to their fourth and final sibling, a little girl, five years later. His mother, unfortunately, passed away during child birth. Their father, grief stricken, fell apart in mourning and turned to the drink for comfort, neglecting his children and newborn daughter, named Winter. The elder sister, at fifteen years old, took charge of taking care of the family. Appearing older than she was she was able to fake being old enough to work, juggling both school and work to support her family. Once she was sixteen she dropped high school and only worked.


Three years later, when Autumn was eighteen, another tragedy struck the family. Autumn, while driving home late at night, was killed in a car accident caused by a drunken driver. It had been a hit and run, and the driver was never found. Now the support of the family fell upon Jared's shoulders, at fifteen years old, who followed in his older sister's footsteps and went to school but faked his age to get a job and support the family. Their father, losing his eldest daughter, fell deeper into depression and was rarely home until late at night. While Jared was gone, Dakota took to caring for Winter, who was four years old at this time with Dakota being nine. It was then Dakota discovered his first power; hypnopathy. He used it on accident when he had been trying to convince a neighbor to spare some food for Winter when they were walking home from school, Jared being at work and all. It only lasted for five seconds at that time and greatly drained Dakota of energy, leaving Winter to help him home, although that was a struggle because of her small size. After that moment he was determined to use this newfound ability only when necessary. He practiced from then on, whenever he found it necessary such as convincing (or forcing) someone to give them food, clothing, and other basic necessities. It was only a mere year later before Jared also passed away due to being jumped in an alley and murdered for money. It was then that Dakota's father grew violent, coming home in drunken rages. Dakota, now the remaining family member left to protect Winter, did so with pride and strength. Every day he focused his father's rage and violence to himself, taking the blame for everything Winter did. He was often beaten, many of the scars he had today from his own father having taken a knife or any sharp object on his son. During that time Dakota made sure Winter was taken care of, went to school, ate, did her homework, everything, even if he was left with nothing.


When Dakota turned fifteen he was desperate for money, no longer making enough for both himself and Winter through doing odd jobs wherever he could. It was then he found a small part of one of the Mafia groups in the US. He begged and pleaded to be let in, determined to support Winter and protect her. He promised to do anything to be allowed in. And he did, did whatever the small group told him to do, whether it have been stealing, lying, or other trivial matters. After six months he was allowed in. As an initiation process he had to dye one of his sclera's (the white part of the eyes) black. He tried to refuse and get around it, but he'd been held down and the sclera of his right eye was dyed black, but luckily he was still able to see. After this the rest of his time in the Mafia was relatively smooth sailing with the knowledge of his power, often being used in negotiations or other dark trades, except whenever he got into trouble and was 'punished' for it. Dakota prefers not to talk about that.


One day, when he was seventeen, he came home to the sight of his father towering over a sobbing, trembling Winter with a knife in hand. Blinded by rage and fear Dakota lunged at his father and knocked him to the ground. The two began to fight, throwing punches and kicks anywhere they could at each other. Dakota was faster with speed and precision, but couldn't match his father's brute strength. Winter had gone to hide in a closet, cowering in there and waiting for the fight to be over. It seemed to last forever to Dakota before finally he managed to snag a gun from the kitchen from one of the drawers, as the fight had moved from the living room to there, and shot his father in the chest. He'd never been more thankful for Autumn deciding to buy a gun one day and keep it in the kitchen in case someone broke into the house. In his rage Dakota shot his father again and again until all the rounds in the pistol were gone. Dakota left his father in the kitchen and limped to the closet. He pulled his little sister out and told her to pack her things, that they were leaving. He didn't care for his own belongings. He took her to one of the warehouses where he worked at with the Mafia. After speaking to a good friend who agreed to smuggle him and his sister out of the country, get them fake passports, and get them to London England. Going by boat Dakota, with his little sister, traveled to England. They were on the boat for ten days, hidden in cargo and occasionally given food and water by Dakota's friend. Once in a port in England Dakota bid his friend farewell and left with what little money he had to support himself and Winter.


It took a few more days to reach London, where Dakota resides now in a small, rundown apartment. Being new to London he worked for himself and for Winter, taking up odd and often shady jobs to support them however he can. When he was eighteen he suddenly started to develop a new power; Power Absorption. He discovered this during a fight with another person, a Daemon, during a job. It had been a simple elemental power, but it ended up exploding in Dakota's face. This left him injured and in shock at what he had done. He still has absolutely no control over it and wears gloves in hope of not accidentally taking another person's power. He was unsure on what to do to train himself to use it, sticking to the glove method as a form of protection. Now nineteen he performs whatever jobs he can get and will work for anyone as long as they pay him decently, keeping to himself mostly but can often be seen hanging around in bars or taverns for gossip and news.
