Hexis Lumin

[Hex]

Name: Hexis Lumin

Age: 23

Race: Human

Height: 6'

Weight: 190Lbs

Physical Description: Hexis can be described as a tall shadow. His long-coat is deep blue leather from the hide of some magical beast his father slew, and his eyes shine from beneath the brim of a wide hat. His smile is infectious, but seems unreal at times. Always sure of himself, he takes risks no sane person would.

Possessions: Hex owns a long-coat that allows him to blend into the shadows at twilight, making him nearly invisible until dawn. It is made from the blue hide of the glimmer-beast that killed his two sisters.

He carries a pouch with dry rations for five days, a fifty foot length of silken rope given to him by an elf whose life he saved, and a tinderbox. Add to that a hunting knife, a short- bow, and enough wild-sense to survive in open field, he has himself well taken care of.

Hexis carries two real weapons: an exquisite short-sword from the far east made of cobalt coloured steel, and a secret weapon only known to one man. That man is dead.

His last possessions are a flute made of bamboo, and a silver pendant with a single eye shedding a tear.

Powers or Strengths:

Hexis is proficient in the use of his sword and bow. He only uses the bow for hunting, typically. The steel of his blade has tasted a few necks. He's not afraid to run in a fight, nor stab a man in the back. He needs a reason to kill. When he is fighting face to face, his primary goal is to disarm.

Hex has two powers. His coat allows him blend into the shadows from dusk until dawn, and twice per day, he can shift his body from one place to another in an instant, so long as he is within reach of any shadow besides his own, and wherever he is going is within reach of a shadow.

The sword also burns the hand of any human or near human that isn't him. Unfortunately, if he goes for longer than a few hours without it in his hand, his begins to burn as well.

Weaknesses: Light bothers his eyes. During the day, he wears a pair of blackened goggles, if he goes out in the day lit hours at all. He typically sleeps when others work, so his only jobs lately have been for night watchman and the like.

Sunlight burns him if he is exposed for longer than ten minutes.

He is a sucker for anything pretty and female, particularly if she seems to be in distress. This has led to several situations that have ended up in embarrassment, or without any coin.

History: Hexis once went by a different name. Even he doesn't bother to remember, since all the people that knew it are dead.

One night, he awoke to the sound of screams coming from his sister's room. Rushing to investigate, he saw a strange creature that seemed to blend into the background behind it, like a chameleon. Save for his sister's blood dripping from it's claws, he almost couldn't tell where it was.

It was at that moment his father shot the cursed thing between the eyes with his cross-bow. They buried his sisters that night, next to his mother.

When they examined the corpse, his father found the hide good for a coat, and decided to make one out it. While they were about to skin it, they discovered a strange symbol burned into its skin.

The creature had been sent.

A few days later, they met who had sent it. A faded man slipped into the house, slew his father, flowed under the door to meet Hexis. There he stopped, waiting. Hexis woke to the form, blacker than the darkness of his room, and screamed at the hideous red eyes that glowed from within.

His scream was cut short as a blade ran into his gut, and disappeared.

He should have died then. Instead, he slept for days, and days. His breathing was slow, but he still lived. His mind dreamed of a name, a river, a town. He dreamed of a place called Thar Shaddin. It was here he could find revenge, he was sure.

He woke on a morning sometime later, the sword removed from his gut, and a corpse frozen in terror on the floor. It was clutching the sword.

Against all logic, he tore the cursed thing from the fingers of the dead man. It was his sword.

Gathering his equipment, he made his way to to the Thar known as Shaddin...

Hiya Hex, welcome to Thar and thanks for the app!

I'm going to need to see a lot more from this app. It raises more questions than it answers, and does not give reasons for most things.

Who was Hexis' family? Why were they assassinated? What is a glimmer-beast? Where were they when killed? Why did he dream of Thar Shaddin? Why does his hand burn if he does not hold his sword, and why does it burn others' hands? Where is the sword from, and why does it work the way it does?

Strengths and weaknesses can do more than just explain powers your character has. What kind of person was Hex before all the stuff went down. What kind of person is he now? Does he have any strengths of personality?

How far away can he teleport? Anywhere in the world so long as there is a shadow?

Please go into greater detail in your app, for all of the sections. Leave a post here when you are ready for us to look at it again!
