Feet are bare as it allows him to remained balanced and position better. He also wears two leather wrist bands, with a series of metal studs in them.
Fighting Style:
“Antaeus” is a submission wrestler, using powerful grappling techniques to slam, trip and takedown his foes, and then either utilizes various heel hooks, chokes, joint lockers or brutishly strikes a foe into submission. He has some skill with a Muay Thai like style but doesn’t rely on it, using it more to set up his grappling.
Abilities:
[Area Effect] In areas with sand, “Antaeus” gains greater endurance and strength than normal. When not in an area with sand, he is an average being.
Personality:
“Antaeus” is competitive and has always been this way. A calm and clear minded individual, he never lets brash decisions take hold. Instead he makes quick but direct decisions that allow him to always be thinking his way through or out of problems instead of hastily put himself in deeper trouble. He is typically a serious person, looking at every battle as a way to improve himself and become a better fighter. “Antaeus” detests those who cheat to win a contest and becomes more vicious than he normally would. He is smart and can lead his foes where he wants at times but is no Alexander the Great. The one way to truly get under his skin is to insult his sport, which will lead to him instantly engaging somebody or challenging them. He takes his training seriously so workout regiments and technique based practice is constant in his lifestyle. He treats women just as he would treat men in combat, not seeing gender as a factor in combat ever. This was built from his mothers teachings.
Background:
“Antaeus” is the mortal descendant of the Libyan giant that Heracles [Hercules] battled. The blood of the giant flows faintly in his veins and it gives him a slight advantage when in desert regions with sand. “Antaeus” was raised with a family of skilled grapplers. A father who taught him to be powerful and skilled in wrestling and a mother who taught him the art form of Jiu-Jitsu and other submission based fighting styles crafted this fine young warrior. He trained all through his youth and it sculpted a thick and powerful frame that he uses to overpower his opponents.
After leaving his parents he traveled around the world and met other grapplers, learning from his mistakes and finding ways to correct them. He adopted some other styles into his own background, finding Muay Thai striking a quick and powerful style that he could link into his own fighting style. He began to enter competitions, fighting for profit only to send it back to his family. He only asked for accommodations to sustain himself. Living humbly, he never settled into one area and travels around to challenge others.
