Name:
Ixildar Freohr

Age:
335

Gender:
Male

Species:
Blood Elf

Nation:
Exile(Formerly Magi)

Class/Profession/Title:
Elementalist/Shapeshifter

Powers/Abilities/Talents:
Control over the Earth, learning control of Water.
Can Shapeshift into: A wolf, a raven, a rat, and a lamp.
Strange telepathic connection to his pet Raven, Shadow.

Weaknesses:
A very overpowering weakness, Ixildar is connected to the 'energy' used for his magic more than most others. Overextensive use saps the life force out of him, and will leave him exhausted and fatigued, or even kill him. He is also more vulnerable to spells that fall outside of his abilities. Unlocking a door, for instance.
Fire frightens Ixildar, for reasons unkown(Will elaborate in the History)
The connection with his raven Shadow, is life-threatening, which is why the raven is always with Ixildar. If they raven is killed, Ixildar will likely suffer the same fate, or at least be put into a deep coma.
In his shapeshifted forms, Ixildar can maintain the form for an hour and one half, and use beyond this risks leaving him permantently stuck. Say he stayed as a wolf for two hours, when he shifted back it would take a great toll on his body, and he'd be slightly more feral in his personality.


Equipment/Tools:
Rugged black leather pants, shirtless.
A long hand-and-a-half sword.

Companions/Pets/Mounts:
Shadow, a raven of normal color. Strange connection formed between Ixildar and Shadow, and Shadow can send mental pictures of the road ahead-to see if it's laden with traps- at distances up to three leagues.

Appearance/Physical Features:
Skin is a deep, blood red, and Ixildar wears his shirt off, proudly displaying the 'deformity' on his back; the tattoo of the skull. Green eyes that glow with a foresty green. His blonde hair stands out the most, which is almost white. Ruff, black leather pants, his sword hilt plain and uninteresting. Ixildar is also barefoot, and bares the pointy ears of his race.

Personality:
Ixildar plays himself off as cold and shrewd, but he'd be a big teddy bear if he wasn't such a hardass. Breaking the ice with Ix is easy work, and he is fairly talkative. Loyal, trustworthy, he's a great friend... It's that damned raven that's the problem.

Story:
Ixildar was born under the 'Gift of the Magi', his life instantly undertook scrutiny when his strong connection to magic was discovered. His life played out in the cells of a training facility, where he was trained daily by one of the strongest Magi teachers in the facility-not out of hope for potential, but because everyone feared the connection. By the time the elf entered the appropriate age for the 'Trials'-a special ceremony where he was put to the test for his magical abilities-he could already shapeshift, and was learning to control earthen substances at an alarming rate. The Magi, ignorant of the facts-as the only saw the boy as a potential Chieftain, even to an extent to control the Magi altogether-were greatly suprised by the tragedy that took place. Ixildar was being tested by the one who trained him, and right when the master-Rown- attacked, the apprentice-Ixildar-shut his eyes, and as if out of nowhere, a spire of pure sandstone struck the teacher from below, killing him instantly. Ixildar could only moan in terror, and saw the flashes of light of other Magi, and screams of terror, as he collapsed unconcious.
Ixildar awoke with a start in an actual prison this time, a padded room, and a gigantic metal door. They thought it beyond his power, but the instructor Ixildar killed teached him some leisurely magic at request-one spell of which could open a locked door. But, since this wasn't his specialty, when Ixildar uttered the spell, the door clicked-unlocked-but Ixildar crashed to the floor, exhausted by the simple task. In moments, the Guard would be on him, so Ixildar forced himself to run even though he was to haggard. He barely made it out of the cell when the Guard was alerted that someone was in the hallway unauthorized-another trick by Magic; floor sensors- and Ixildar was captured on the run.
Taken to court immediately, Ixildar was charged with murder, and attempted escape. His sentence: Death.

Stricken and distraught, Ixildar could only weep with fear in his cell, as the day of his execution loomed near. That's when Shadow arrived. The raven found a perch on Ixildar's window, and for three days and nights the bird sat and stared the Ixildar, but Ixildar was wrought with shame to notice. On the fourth day, the bird crowed, and cought Ixildars for a moment. In that split second of eye contact, Ixildar believes the connection between them was formed.
Then the fire started. Ixildar doesn't know how, or where, but the entire prison caught fire, and forced him to flee for his life. Any fire in his way, he quickly put it out with dirt, and when he made it outside, Shadow met him there, perched on Ixildar's shoulder, and gripped on for the chase. A chase indeed it was, as the Guard from the city ran-no rather, they glided after him. Quickly overtaking him, they jumped him and condemned him a fate worse than death: Exile.

From then on, it's been Ixildar and shadow for two hundred years, bringing them all over the lands...

Others:
This is PURELY OOC:
Don't go raving mad and try to kill the bird, he happnes to be a major plot and key in my story ^_^
Also, Ixildar is a progressing character. If I need to dumb him down a bit now, I will, but he will learn and acquire more skills/things as we proceed. Thanks ^_^

As long it is not complete control over Earth (Such as bending entire mountains and such), he is approved A great character and will be looking forward to him in action

The thing between him and the raven reminds me a little of "The Golden Compass"

Name: Showa "Jester" Bluff
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Species: Human
Nation: The Magi
Class/Profession/Title: Illusionist
Powers/Abilities/Talents:
She uses illusions to everything and she has reached the level of power where she can turn illusions solid. Her most powerful illusion though would have to be her duplicating herself. She can then switch place with this illusion where ever it is located and her 'original' self will become the illusion.
Companions/Pets/Mounts:
Copy is a Clydesdale Horse (Mare), she uses this for a mount but it is also her closest friend and companion. Rival has a white blazed face from ears to nose, three white legs, one black and has other than that a covering bay color and a slightly longer mane than normal.
Appearance/Physical Features:
As the picture well shows, Showa has a very unique clothing style. She uses a schyte the same way a normal magician uses a staff and she wears a mask over her face. In fact, her complete appearance is in the picture, at closest detail. Although please convert the physical appearance into a female instead of a male and all the features that come/go with it.

Personality:
Showa is a very quiet woman that possess the most remarkable and mysterious powers. People say that her powers are mostly light and tricks, but there are a lot of magic involved in all her doings. She is not much of a fighter. She is more in the entertainment business.
Story:
The story goes back to when she was a baby, which was the first time she used her illusionary tricks. If these actions were intentional or not is unknown to this day, but she even as a baby had the ability to create a duplication of herself and transport herself trough magic to that other illusion. As she grew older, her powers grew along with her. No one appreciated and even less understood her and this resulted in Showa becoming a very shy girl. She never spoke and she never tried making social contact to a close level. She loves entertaining and being laughed at, but only if she intentionally makes a fool out of herself.

She had a crush once in a wizard boy and to this man she had opened her heart as wide as it could almost be considered litteraly. With all her heart and trough all of her dreams, handlessly had she fallen in love with the boy. When it reached the point where she was ready to sacrefice everything, change everything about herself for him, he left her for another girl. A more powerful and especially more beautiful girl. The shame was excruciating and from that day and at all time, she hid her face from public in shame for her belief that she was not pretty enough to be seen. As a concequence of the other girl being more powerful than Showa, Showa could not even take her own powers seriously. She started treating them as a joke and started making a living out of making a fool of herself. She started going by the name "Jester" rather than Showa and for a fee did she do as good as anything from making a fool of herself to assist in pranks.
Others: A crushed confidence

Name: Tareos
Age: 95
Gender: Male
Species: Centaur
Nation: The Serene
Class/Profession/Title: Druid
Powers/Abilities/Talents: Animal Linkage, Animal Summoning and Animal Communication.
Equipment/Tools: Bow, helmet and a spear.
Companions/Pets/Mounts: What animals are nearby, but no specific
Appearance/Physical Features:

Personality: Tareos loves the nature, the animals and the centaur tribes above anything else. His natural ability, his powers allow him to control, understand and communicate with animals to a far larger extent than many other beings, and he often considers himself the guardian of the Centaur tribes and the forest in whole. War is not his thing, but if his forest, or the animals in it, or the tribes are somehow threatened, he does not hesitate to enter the battle, and he doesnt hesitate to bring his loyal animal companions with him. In short, he's a kind, quite wise and understanding centaur.
Story: Tareos was never the strongest, nor the most powerful one trough his upgrowth. His druidic friends, his strong warrior friends and all other types of friends he had did all mock him for his shortage on power. This was however before he discovered what powers he truelly had. But even after having discovered did people make fun of him, for not having "true" power. What could one who speaks to animals possibly accomplish?

This was later on shown, as Tareos tribe, his village was attacked. It didnt take long until the village was defeated, but with Tareos interfearance and his powerful lesser army of different animals did he to very little drops of blood run the invaders out of the city. Before this event, he never truelly had anything against fighting, but after having watched the animals under his command having fallen in loyalty to him and risked their lives, he knew that what powers he had should not be used for combat. Being a commander of animals had its advantages, but Tareos did not have toe heart to ever use the animals in combat again. Therefore he instead relies on his physical strength, endurance and speed to overcome his foes. Of course, ever since he ran the attackers out, no attack has been made towards his tribe again.

I love lycans

that's my lycan right there. <3

I actually was not sure if I wanted a lycan or an illusionist. By time, I went with illusionist but lycan was easily my second-hand choice

she debated for the longest whether to use a lycan or something else... i think she only went with lycan because she has this odd fixation with them...

-ponders- now i have to find a way to drag Dræus over to the Dark Side... (yes, I realize it's not Star Wars, but I am a bit obsessed... overlook me...)
