DESCRIPTION:
→Ike is tall and slim, the typical build for someone who works out. He would appear to be an athlete of some form at first sight, due to his fit and healthy appearance. He had dirty blonde hair that is untamed and therefore sticking out at every direction and his fringe is somewhat over his eyes. He has light brown eyes, which are usually hidden underneath glasses or light blue tinted shades. He has lightly tanned skin from his foreign origins. Die to regular working out, he’s in good physical condition (which is necessary for his line of work). Despite not having buldging muscles, his physical strength is insane. For some reason, he favours a smiliar outfit every day. A white shirt either tucked or untucked depending on his mood, with his top button undone, a bow tie, formal pants and shoes, and either a waistcoat or suspenders. He likes the bartender look. His general posture and mannerisms suggest he doesn’t put much effort into anything (which is mostly true).

Chimera Form

Ike has a chimera form (being a chimera >.>), this doesn't change him much. The most noticeable change is the fact that he grows an extra pair of arms. Whit out of his chimera form, the arms are lumps on his sides. They are located underneath the normal pair of arms. They can do everything a normal pair of arms can do, and Ike has no trouble controlling them. Also when he transforms, his hair grows down to his shoulders, with no form of style (its often a source of annoyance), and turns jet black. His eyes become completely black like a spiders

PERSONALITY:
→ On the surface, Ike is somewhat comical, adding a bit of levity to situations that are otherwise serious. This achieves the constant result in that people underestimate him, which has often come in beneficial. He has a flippant attitude under normal circumstances and seems to like annoying his associates. He enjoys having a ‘relaxed’ attitude to his work, which can get on the nerves of others, especially the more serious people who work with him (especially since he isn’t afraid to make jokes to/about them).Although he acts carefree and stupid he's actually quite wise and perceptive and will give out good advice to those who seek it. As a leader, he is quite lenient, he puts enjoing his life over almost everything else, meaning anyone working with him, will either love it, or will have to put up with a slacker.

He’s also very outspoken, not afraid to complain, shout or compliment anyone, be them friend or foe. He will also tend to make a big deal out of small things, (like the wrong toppings on his pizza), and appears to under react to shocking news. He’s definitely an internally conflicted person, and for serious matters, he’s good at hiding his pain or sorrow. He is a ladies man, trying his luck in bars, clubs, pretty much everywhere. Of course he never telss women the truth about himself (who’d want to go home with a chimera. However he does have bad luck, and even as experienced as he is, he often fails when trying to pick up chicks.

Ike shows signs of being both optimistic and pessimistic, as he always tries at something, believing he can succeed, but if he does fail, he think’s all is lost and that he’ll never be able to do said task. He’s also shown to be hot headed at times, rushing into situations without thinking, although, usually in more serious situations, he is quite aptly able to plan out his moves. His job title has changed a few times over his career, but its always the same. Killing for money. If not killing then its some other illegal activity (except rape. That is wrong) . Unfortunately, he’s never been any good at detaching himself from his emoitions, and when he was younger, he was often questioned what he was oing. Now a days he’s still the same, except he’s been able to hide and suppress his emotions, meaning no one see’s his confliction. He’s extremely loyal person, following what leader his has to the end.

...........................................................................

HISTORY:
→ Ike has two lives. His current one, and the life he’s forgotten, or more appropriately, the life that has been taken from him. Of course, certain traits can be found in both of his lives. He was, and still is a killer for hire. However certain life changing crossroads, have been forgotten, replaced, so he is essence a different person.

Ike was born into the Harvard family, of East City. They were a criminal family that partook in all sorts of illegal activity. They were successful in what they did, and Ike was born into wealth. However despite the wealth and the benefits that came with it, his family didn’t seem like one, apart from his sister Marianne. Ike’s conflicted feelings of not wanting to let down either his sister or his father, who both had different views on what Ike should grow up to become. This conflict helped towards his hatred of his family, especially his father. As he grew older, he began to learn the basics of alchemy. He wasn’t happy, but content, just like hsi sister. However this changed when her sister was sent to Central City to help the growth of the Harvard empire. At the current time, due to increased competition, central city would have been much more dangerous for Marianne, and both Ike and their father knew it. Despite this, he refused to reconsider or let Ike go as well.

Without Marianne’s good influence, Ike fell into the criminal life style, just like his brother and Father. Years past, without a single word from Marianne, and every day, Ike’s hatred for his family grew. He was confused at the fact that she hadn’t tried to contact him. It was all strange and confusing, yet every time he asked anyone they didn’t give a straight or consistent answer. He came to realize that if he wanted a straight answer he would have to ask he brother or his father, and since his brother was now stationed in central and Ike was still in the East, he could only ask his father. He hadn’t spoken to his father in years. He had moved out of the main household, and even though he worked for his father, he only received orders by other people, so Ike had little personal feelings for his father, that also went for the rest of his family, all except Marianne. Once asked the old man snorted stating simply that “she no longer wanted anything to do with us, so she was taken care of”. Ike froze, anger rapidly rising as he stormed out of the room, and headed for the nearest train station, so he could get his ass over to central city, ready to beat the hard facts out of his brother, with all his insane physical strength. What the old geezer said was vague, but certainly implied that he might have killed off his own daughter simply because she had decided enough was enough, but she knew too much about the “family”. He took all the money he could get his hands on and moved out to central. He got there on the same day, but had no idea where to find his brother or the rest of the Harvard gang. Ike rented out a hotel room, knowing he’d be here for a while. He couldn’t accept the idea that Marianne was dead.

Soon after, events began to unfold that changes Ike’s life. Another mafia gang, was killing off the Harvard, gang, who’d become rivals. Ike saw an opportunity and he took it. He betrayed his family, told them where to find the boss, in return he was paid and exempt from the purging. So was Marianne, wherever she was. Once it was done, Ike was free, and hopefully, so was Marianne. They could both live their lives without the ties of their family, and Ike had only had to give his honour to do so.

Ike spent the next few weeks wondering what to do with his life. He had inadvertently became very wealthy, seeing as he was the only remaining relative of the Harvard family, and so inherited all of the ill gotten cash. Not all of it was there though, the Sentini family must have taken some of it, but that wasn't important. Ike didn't fancy the idea of early retirement, and went around drifting from different jobs. He even considered being a state Alchemist or joining the military, mainly because Ike had an interest in the alchemy of one particular individual, Spade Aeries. The ability to attack the mind instead of the body was certainly unusual in the world of alchemy, and Ike decided to look into his own way of mental attack. Ike wasn't unintelligent, but he was no extreme genius like spade. He had once or twice been praised as a genius, but that was more for his composure, quick thinking, and dry wit when fighting. Therefore, Ike had to look for other ways to get into the complex being that is the human mind. Luckily his previous experience in the criminal world helped him, when one of his targets while being a criminal, had a large stash of minor Hallucinogenic drugs, which affect a person grasp on the real world. It was an obscure idea, but with research Ike came across Dissociative drugs which were exactly what Ike needed for his alchemy. They basically did the hard work for him and there were alot of different ones, which affect different signals in different ways. After further research Ike found a particular drug and began working on an alchemy circle which can simply amplify the gas so that more people would be affected. It took time, effort and money but eventually he came up with a suitable circle which did its job. Although he did get some unwanted attention. The military became interested when he began buying hallucinogenic drugs in their masses. He eventually met Spade Aries, who would become a good friend, after helping him with his alchemy.

Now he had alchemy and a friend, the last thing he needed was a occupation, it was getting boring lounging around in his flat, just staring at finished alchemy research. However despite wanting a job Ike could find the motivation to do the work required of these common jobs, he wanted something a little more adventurous and exciting. He wanted his old job back. Well he wanted to be a criminal again, but not for the Harvard's, this time he wanted to work for someone else. In all honesty there was one "family" you could work for and be successful. The Sentini. One problem, Ike had already run in with the Sentini, and that was to destroy his one family, to them he was a traitor who wasn't afraid of betrayal, and that made it hard to get into the family. However after alot of trying one person took him in, one person called Kidato. A rising star in the family already. Most people were surprised at this move, Kidato was already expected to be great so why would he take in someone unreliable like Ike. When confronted about it, he merely said he didn't care what he had done before, just what he did now, and funnily enough no one questioned him. Like Spade, Kidato became a close friend to Ike, and when Kidato rose to the top Ike became he right hand man. He didn't want to betray Kidato, he wasn't a man to leave his allies like the rest of the family thought. They couldn't understand his actions because they didn't know his story.

Ike enjoy a long period of stability in his life as Kidato right hand man. For a while he was bathing in the perks of leadership, having to do very little and getting a lot of money for it. He would sit back and just hang out with Kidato, with was anything but a chore. If he wasn't doing that then he was out enjoying himself. He'd indulge himself in alcohol and gambling. He'd try to get women, but he had no luck in that particular area of a bachelor's lifestyle. He'd spend some of his time with his old friend Spade Aries, who'd try to improve his luck with women, but to no avail. Despite this epic failure, Ike still regarded it as one of the greatest times of his life, just being able to relax. With such a stable lifestyle for a criminal, Ike was able to meet a variety of interesting people, some made a bigger impact on him than others. He also found out that he has the ability to always step onany banana peels left on the floor and inevitably fall over. In fact it was that very action that started an unusual encounter. It was with a woman named Saga. She'd been simply reading a book under the stars one night and they happened to cross paths. They exchanged formalities and talked to one another. There was a sort of innocence to that conversation because Ike didn't try to pull a move on her. Anyway they continued to talk when Ike invited her out for pizza. The night didn't lead to anything more than going out for pizza, at least on a physical level. Meanwhile on another level it was a complete change around for Ike, he felt something for a girl that wasn't entirely physical attraction. It was strange. It was like she was a riddle he couldn't forget, he wanted to figure her out, and it seemed she shared those sort of feelings. It could have been something great. Unfortunately, the day after that very encounter something strange began to happen. Something that would flip Ike's life upside down.

Ike woke up to the news that there was a police raid during the night on one of the corel Sentini gang bases last night resulting in 20 arrests and 7 casulties, all of which were criminals. It was crap news, but losing 27 men wasn't really much for them. What was crap was the news that kidato's higher ups, hadn't contacted him recently, apart from one message saying they had gone to a western base near the border, they mentioned that there had been some serious tip offs to the military and now every base was known to the military, bar a few. They were also confident that the identities of most of the bosses, such as Kidato and Ike, were unkown to the military, otherwise they would have been caught whilst they were asleep. Basically this ment that Kidato and Ike were the only really people with authority left in central, the others had fled to the west like cowards. In all reallity Ike and Kidato had nothing they could do but find the those cowards in the west. Althought when they got there they found somthing different, very differet and extremely bad. They were dead. The higher ups must have been ambushed once they got here. Kidato and Ike were told this once they had been captured as well. They found the base opened the doors only to be greeted with a f**k load of guns pointing their way. They weren't the military nor were they amestrian. There dress code was obvious, they were a powerful syndicate from Aguero, trying to wipe them out. The next thing Ike knew he was shot and as he fell back everything went slient and black. He thing he knew he was handcuffied and seemingly in some vechical on the move. It must have been a van because of the space. It was only him in the back. Hed been sumpled into the sat up postion while unconscious and now that he was awake, he hardly wanted to move his head from the bowed down position it was in. Was Kidato alive...most likely. If they were after somthing like money, the'd have to keep him alive seeing as his was the totalitarian boss of the syndicate, when he dies, the money would have probably been set to dissapear in some fashion. Ike, however, was simply the right hand man, unnecessary when they have Kidato. They were probably in Arguero now, they would probably take him to some quite area and shoot him dead before burning his corpse as they have probably done with the others. He was in a state of extreme depression, once again the place where he felt he belonged and crumbled to dust, the only difference being it wasn't his own doing. He sat there half limp, woundering if he should just let himself die. Really what did he have to live for. It was at that very moment, three familiar voices spoke to him and kick him into gear.
"You can't die!" Said the first voice, which was unmistakably Spade "You still owe me a crap ton of money"

Thanks for reminding me, Spade

The next was that of the bartender of his favourite local pub in central
"C'mon man. Don't give up yet, you've still not collected that beer on the house i owe ya. But if you do come back, will you stop singing when you get drunk?"
Not the time to be insulting my singing...

The last was of Saga who simply said "I thought you were going to stay with me...”

Ike's eyes widened. They all had given him reasons to fight, well all but Spade. He started kicking the floor hard, trying to get their attention. He ignored the pain coming from his gun wound in his stomach. He kicked harder and harder, until the van came to a halt. They were obviously too annoyed with the racked he was making that they were going to kill him here and now. Ike hadn't plan this far ahead so when they opened the doors he took the first action that came into his head. He literally jumped out of the van straight into the two grunts, before they had time to shoot. For some reason they had been stood with one behind the other, so when Ike collided into the first one both of them fell over. It created a sort of sandwich with Ike on top facing the other "Sorry Guys..." He said with a malicious grin "I only like this situation when its me and two girls..." he raised his cuffed hands above his head and brought his elbows together before slamming his elbows into the first guys face, knocking him out straight away. The other guy who had too people on top of him, was getting pissed, and clasped hold of the gun he'd dropped when they'd fallen on him and shot Ike. He missed, he'd aim for the head but his shoulder instead, Ike screamed, another shot wound was the last thing he needed. He rolled over and off the pile of bodies and as the grunt tried to push off his unconscious friend, but wasn't able to finish, because ike punched him out cold. Ike crawled over to the pair looking for the key to his release. It was one the guy at the bottom who'd shot him, and with some difficultly using his teeth he freed his hands. He staggard to his feet, deciding that flee was the best option. Maybe it was to the loss of blood from his two wounds, but he just decided to run instead of taking the car. He got about twenty meters, he thought of how he was once again underestimated, two lowly grunts who didn't even know to handcuff him with his hands behind his back. He was then shot again. This time was also in the stomach area. Ike fell to his knees. He dragged himself up and carried on running. Once of those two must have recovered and shot him, however they must have been badly concussed because they didn't shoot again. Ike was able to escape. Luck had come to his rescue.

He kept running, keeping to the road side. The three bullet wounds aching more and more after every step. He needed help if he was going to survive, unfortunately no car had passed and no town seemed near, that was until about half an hour of running, it was already dark now, so call Ike could see was the oncoming headlights of some vehicle, by now Ike was slowly walking, dragging his body along. He reached out for the light of the car before falling forward onto the ground. Once again everything went black.

It was some time till Ike woke. Once he did, he found himself in a small village, being taken care off. Of course the people didn’t know about Ike, and they weren’t going to find out. He accepted their treatment, but once he was good enough to leave he did. He made his way back to central, where he found himself a new live, in the form of Sal and the pirates. They spent their time up north so there wasn’t much trouble with the gang that tried to kill him. Or so he thought. One night while in North City, Ike went out drinking, alone. Reminiscing about central and his life there. While walking in the street, three member dressed entirely in black blocked his path. Before he could even speak, he was shot twice, blacking him out. Here the old Ike died, replaced with a new Ike, who had no recollection of any of the events I just told you about.

What actually happens is a mystery to Ike. But the people who tried to get rid of him before had found him again, and decided to remove him from the syndicate scene. But instead of killing him, they sold him, alive, to scientists. They had some form of project, they called it Project AA, but Ike didn’t hear much, because he spent most of his time in and out of consciousness, it was a blur for the next couple of months. However when he woke up three months later, it was like he’d woken up for the first time. He had no memories, he felt blank, however, to him this feeling wasn’t unnatural. The next couple of months, he was spoon fed his new life. He was a lab rat, or more precisely, a lab chimera. He’d been fused with two animals, a tarantula and a star fish to be exact, and they were now testing the results. Of course they left out that he was the subject to a new experimental drug to wipe the memories of others. So as Ike continued the tests, he was told a history that was convenient. He had no family, and his life was completely devoted to work. He'd been an assassin, and almost died, in fact on most records, Ike Harvard was dead, but they'd given him a chance at a second life. To be honest, he was amazed at his transformation. There was probably no one with the same fighting style of him. As he continued the drug started to fade, with hazy memories that made little sense, returning in massive head aches. So, once Ike told the scientists about this, they gave him 'medication' with did stopped the headaches, but also suppressed the memories that were trying to get through. He has to take this medicine twice a day. To make sure he did, they added a pain killer effect and some tobacco, so he'd become addicted, which he had. A year passed, before the scientist were happy. Now Ike was ready to be brought back into the world, but the people who brought him back had a specific agenda for him.

TRIVIA:
→ I'm going to state Ike's chimera abilities here. Firstly his extra pair of arms (tarantula), provide extra strength and...well.. an extra pair of arms. His abilities at climbing have greatly enhanced (tarantula), he can climb up almost any surface, and his palms provide more than enough grip on the smoothest of surfaces, he needs to arms and a leg to keep himself on a vertical surface . Finally he has one ability from the star fish, and that is limb regeneration. Star fish can regenerate their limbs, and that has passed onto Ike. This only covers arms, legs, and minor wounds. The process is painful and takes about three (arm) to four(leg) days for a full limb to regenerate. The wound must still be covered up as his ability to regenerate blood isn't as strong.
