Thar Shaddin

Name: Raen D. Elvarasi
Age: 541
Race: Human
Height: 6.4
Weight: 148(Body weight decreased as his body is partially made of shadow)

Physical Description: Tall for a human, yet lithe. His form is long and thin, but doesn't appear brittle. His body is well toned and muscled from years upon years of training and battle, most of which being the recent encounters with the well know and very feared Drakozzosh, and his Demon Hawk acquaintance. His skin is pale and silvery, yet seems to carry a pure darkness within it, contradicting its appearance. His hair is a black that would rival the Abyss, and his eyes a clear, dark blue.

Magical Description: Raen emanates an unmistakable aura of darkness unakin to humans, and making him very fearsome to those who are to weak to bear the presence of his aura. Those who are well versed in the way of magic, and know of the Dark Prophets would know of his bound to one from the aura. Raen is often accompanied by shadows that coil around him and stretch lazily about, swirling easily.

Mental Description: Raen is an eccentric one, being unaccustomed to interaction or social graces, as from a young age, and until recently, he took great pains to stay away from others, being a solitary wanderer. He is also brought to the edge of his sanity by the haunting dreams of Alice, the Dark Prophet which he is bound to and loves deeply. She continues to evade him, knowing the danger of him being close to her, as she is constantly hunted for her power.

An elaborate throwing dagger dispenser on the left arm, activated by flicking the wrist outwards.
A hidden Katar blade on the right arm. The blade is a side-flip blade, cutting the hem of Raen's shirt when activated. It can be disconnected from the mechanism by pressing a button of the side of the gauntlet.

History: Since a young age, Raen had grown up in the shadow of his siblings and his parents, all of which hated him. Though, not all was truly bad, as at the age of six, he met Alice. Even though others feared or hated her, due to a darkness that surrounded her, Raen found himself drawn to her. After two years of being with her, and fighting off anyone who tried to harm either of them, they were deeply connected to one another. Though neither knew it, the connection was killing him. Stealing away his life force, as Alice could not control her power. Though it became apparent to Alice, but it was too late, as Raen lay dying at the age of eight. Seeing no other way, Alice preformed a dark ritual that bound the two together until death, sharing her life force with him, and giving him new power. Though this was not without cost. As it was finished, Raen's mind was flooded with images, knowledge, and dark thoughts, driving him to the brink of insanity. Seeing this, Alice fled, putting a great deal of distance between herself and Raen, leaving him with an empty feeling, and dreams that haunted him every night. For centuries, he traveled, searching for Alice, all the while becoming stronger and stronger. This all ended when he attempted to pass through Elvish lands, oblivious to the war going on between Humans and Elves, and found himself fighting the son of Kyo Tsuki Lossehelin. After hours of fighting, Raen summoned a Death Gate, holding it half closed, attempting to get the elf to retreat. Though, in his quick thinking, he didn't realize the dire mistake: A lich was waiting on the other side of the gate. After breaching the gate and raising dead elves, Venreal, Kyo's son, with the help of Val, and Senna destroyed the Lich, having incapacitated Raen. Afterwords, they took him back to the elvish capitol, and had him tried in front of the Council. The ultimate ruling was a trial by combat. After briefly meeting with Ashlyn, and a day of rest, he was taken to the arena. Unknowing of the elvish customs, he attempted to kill the elf, and did in a vortex created within the shielded arena. Seeing this, the head Councilman demanded his execution, but was stopped short by Drakozzosh, who had watched the fight, and intervened for reasons both voiced and unvoiced. Afterwords, he found himself on his way to Drako's residence in the company of Venreal and Senna. After facing Drako and failing his test, he vowed to return when he was stronger, and left with new knowledge and understanding. After a year, he went back to the elvish lands, seeking Venreal, but was confronted by Euriel. Drakos acquaintance. After nearly dying from absorbing part of Euriels essence, he was saved by Alice, who he did not even know was there until he awoke from the pain-induced unconsciousness. After having brief words with Ven, he left and returned to Drakos place. When he got there, he was confronted by Demon. One of Drakos seven personalities. After a brief battle, he was once again near death, and only saved by Alice's intervention. He left once more, now headed for the human territories. -(End)

(As I am certain most of you will be wondering a few things, such as how, as a human, I am so old, or maybe if I even hinted at having been given the ability to use magic in my history. Here a few things to note. If there are more questions, then just ask.)

So first: The reason he is so old, is due to his Connection to Alice, who is a Dark Prophet. Dark Prophets will typically live for fifty thousand years. This being said, that is cut in half due to her sharing her life force with me. A Dark Prophet is someone who can read the threads of fate, seeing death and the future of others. They also have other powers that make them quite formidable and not ones to be trifled with. Such as they innate knowledge of the Dark Arts. Others were left unmentioned.

Second: I did mention Magic. That was part of what he gained when he became connected to Alice. He can use any form of magic, but is limited in most fields, as his affinity lies with the magic of Darkness and Shadows, and Dark Arts.

Third: This character is not Per Se, new. I have had him for a while, and he is active. About half his history is actually things that happened during one RP or another. This being said, I kept the original format for him. If you want me to list other things, such as Strengths and Weaknesses, then I will, though I see it as a bad thing, as it basically gives everyone else OOC knowledge on you that they can then use against you. I find a more lifelike approach is more agreeable, making things both more interesting and more realistic. Their character would have to learn who you are, and I believe they should do the same. Especially in a PvP setting.

If there are still questions or doubts, ask away. I am not shy and will answer...Oh, and as far as the inane amount of weapons: They are all very light weight, and he will not always carry them all at once, though they do little to slow him, as they would in truth only weight about two dozen pound, most of it being the swords. Same with the Items. They are all light weight. He is prepared, but not stupid enough to encumber himself with too many things, as his play style is not meant for slower people.
