Board 8 > [B8BOC] Board 8's Best Original Character, Championship 5: Obrov vs. Talirah

(+) Yeah! (+)

RULES:
1. Vote for the character you like more. That's it.
2. Each user gets one vote per match (no alts). These are one-on-ones, after all.
3. Rounds last exactly 24 hours from the opening post and any votes thereafter will be disregarded.
4. I (Metalmind) will post a new match daily at about 6 PM PT, excepting brief scheduled breaks for Thanksgiving and one day where I have a prior commitment.
5. The users who nominated each character will be kept hidden, as votes are for characters, not users. Users are forbidden from rallying, including posting additional propaganda that is not already in this opening post, as this can give their character an unfair advantage.
6. You are allowed, and in fact encouraged, to vote for the character you nominated. Or don't if you truly prefer their opponent, I'm not your boss!
7. Bumping support to keep this topic on the front page is appreciated, especially when I'm not available (typically from about 4 AM to 3 PM PT).

Now for today's entrants...

Obrov Netvor


"Man, don't make me talk about myself, it's not a fun story to tell. Was born as a big, ugly fucker, and got abandoned for it. Fosters, teachers, kids... nobody was really a fan of me, but I still worked my ass off to try and make it through school, only to be taken in by an insane scientist. I thought I had found a home with him, only for him to use me as a test subject, warping my mind along with my face, and then discard me. I'm particularly strong and durable, so after dropping out I found steady factory work to get me by, living alone as the giant monster of the slums... Still, can't help but want to do something better. Find a way to prove I'm more than what my looks suggest."

-7'4", ~500 lbs.
-Combat oriented in the RPG he comes from, with partial invulnerability and a signature studded wooden club.
-Constantly wears a mask over his face. Underneath, it is horrifyingly deformed and covered in various burns and scars. Similar marks litter his body.
-While good at heart, he's a loner who is distrusting of others and easily angered.

Talirah

Oh hello! My name is Talirah Isiset. PRINCESS Talirah- err...perhaps QUEEN Talirah Isiset? That is silly. You may call me Tali, because we are friends now and my friends call me Tali. Or Sekhmet. But that one is a secret. My secret identity. But again, very big secret. You are not supposed to tell people who you are if you have a secret identity. But yes, my life is hard to explain, but what I have pieced together is that I lived thousands of years ago, and then one day I awoke in this city with no memory of myself. And now that memory has returned, and I am so grateful to this place; I will FIGHT to protect it.

Name: Talirah Isiset (aka Sekhmet)
Profession: Former Part-Time Library Assistant, Current Superheroine-in-Training (Ancient Egyptian Princess)
Age: 19 (3794 as of October 3rd, 1998)
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 134 lbs.
Setting: Tali is a character from an offshoot universe of the No Man's Land plotline of DC Comics.
Abilities: Tali is pyrokinetic, and in addition to creating and manipulating fire, she can also summon fire serpents.
Character Flaw: Tali is extremely naive and overly trusting, to the point of thinking up plans and making decisions without considering potential consequences, often to her detriment.
