Name: Elihu
Nickname: Eli
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Position: Neutral Assassin
Powers: Apparate: Eli is a lone rogue, he lives in the shadows. One of his most used abilities is Apparate. Eli has a limited range of approximately 10-40 yards but with a proper teacher could learn to do so over worlds. This ability is the same as teleport, only moves the particles of a human body at an instantaneous speed. Most often used to grab an edge in a fight. The downside to this maneuver... Eli can only use so many abilities within a certain amount of time do to the bodies limit of Hue, his worlds version of Mana or Magic Power. Apparate requires a lot of energy and is not seen more than once within a small span of time.
Stealth: A non-combat ability used to sneak in dark areas. When sitting completely still Eli bends light around him making him much harder to see, yet not impossible to see. A feint outline of him can always be seen. Moving after casting this ability will break its bind and cause it to disappear.
Ice Throw: Eli has limited magical offensive abilities, and this one uses the water in the air. He can create a small razor like pieces of ice in the shape of small knives and throw them at his enemy or target.
Burst: His finishing move ability is burst. He can, for only a few seconds, burst the remaining energy he has to hit harder, and move faster. It's primarily used to catch a foe off guard and deliver the coupe de grace. After using this ability Eli cannot use any energy based abilities for a small amount of time, and burst will exhaust him keeping him from using it for a long period of time.
Eli has a small mana pool. It's used to cast stealth and aimed throw. However, these abilities require very little mana as they don't pose much of an offensive threat. Other than this he using nothing other than a source of 'inner' energy called Hue. Depending on the person, this energy can be more, less, and regenerate faster. It's used to make the body stronger and faster, much more agile. The more inner energy used to cast abilities the longer one must wait to do it again, making combat very tactical for a Rogue from Lethos (Eli's home world). The art is in learning when and what to combine in order to finish a foe.
Another note to Eli: He is a quick and talented learner. He is currently in the process of trying to learn to stealth while moving, though he generally doesn't need to. He has a potential to learn larger spells as well. He just hasn't had the teacher of the knowledge to really teach him 'magic'.
Weapon: Eli has one short sword sheathed on his back. It's name is Hue, named after a Lethos' inner energy. It's about 2 feet total in length, making it small, yet fast.
Other than the blade he has two daggers sheathed to his belt. One is located in the front right, the other located on the left. These are his primary weapons of choice, small, fast, and effective. Hue is generally only used against large weapon enemies in which Eli will need to parry.
Picture:Appearance: Eli has dark blue hair. The hair is short, yet naturally spikes slightly out on all sides (not like Cloud or Sora, something much simpler). He has dark blue eyes, a young face, and a charming smile that is rarely ever seen due to the scarf that covers the bottom half of his face. That scarf is black, tied in the back, and glides nicely in the wind as the ties hang down half way down his back. He wears a thin leather (cloth-like), black shirt, a black leather belt, and black, semi baggy pants. He has very soft fitting 'slipper' like shoes for the sole purpose of not making any noise as he moves.
Personality:Eli is quiet, very quiet. He doesn't speak much, only when spoken to or when a situation calls for it. He's very smart, tactical, always considering pros, cons, and consequences of others actions and his own. Yet because of his past he is neutral, and very blunt. He primarily lived as a mercenary on his home world, living neutral from wars, yet deciding victors based on his assassinations for self benefit. He has a heart for justice, but never lets this guide him, as helping others can easily cost him...
Eli prefers to keep hidden. He remains in stealth when he wants information and eaves drops on those he can learn from. Listening benefits for than talking from his experience. He avoids fighting whenever he can, as it is not something he takes joy in doing. Eli understands he is a rogue--an assassin, his job is to stay quiet and hidden. In his past during large battles his role is always something along the lines of sneaking, flanking, and ending battles by destroying the one calling the shots.
Original World: Lethos
Current World: Lethos to Traverse Town
History: Eli was born and after he was born war brought havoc to his home town at the age of 5. He hid in the closet as war came to his house, to his parents, and he listened as they were killed. Before the warriors burst into their home, however, his father muttered one last line to him as he put him into the closet.
"Hide, Eli. And after this day, promise me you will take care of ... yourself."
This didn't make sense to him at such a young age, but after his parents were killed those that killed them found him as he wept in the closet. They took him, noting his age, knowing his family was of strong blood for his country, figured he could make a great warrior and his mind at such a young age could be altered. They took him, and made him into a rogue warrior of their army. As he grew he took the line of his father to heart. He studied it, and looked at it from every direction until he finally assumed he understood what it meant. Take care of YOURSELF. Yes, his father truly meant to live and prosper, not to become self-arrogant and selfish, but Eli never really considered this to a strong point. The idea of taking care of him, and only him, made the most sense. That's what he chose to believe. Take care of himself... He understood he was fighting for those that killed his family, but he knew if he didn't they would kill him. He began to live by the notion of self preservation. They taught him to hide in the shadows, to sneak undetected, to practically be invisible. He single handedly became the the strongest, most successful, rogue that army had ever produced... and in the end he slaughtered all the leaders of this army at the age of 19 in revenge for his parents. He did this for himself, to rid himself of guilt for winning them wars by assassinating leaders of army after armies for their sake of victory. After doing so the army fell with no leader and was overcome by their enemies. Every soldier was killed. Eli felt no guilt for this and from that day on he trained on his own, and worked as a mercenary to make money. He was known by nothing as Eli, as he had dropped his last name and the full extent of his first name and left it behind.
One day, slightly after his 21st birthday, strange creatures appeared on his world, wreaking havoc and chaos, killing everything. They were black, small, and strange. He killed hundreds of them in an effort to stay alive. Cities were run down by them. Eli didn't know what to do. He wandered as the chaos continued for what was only a few days. When these creatures showed up the area they made their appearance in did not last long at all. They were swift, silent, and efficient. Just like Elihu.
'Til that one night they found him, they lurked the shadows just as well as he did! He tried hard to hide, but they always found him. He killed groups after groups of them until it was almost as he was the only one left on his world. He felt lonely but refused to die. Deep down he wanted to bring justice to those that sought the opposite, but he also wanted to end all war period no matter what it mattered.
Over time the creatures
found him after every ditch effort to leave society and remain hidden. They sought to destroy him as they did all other life. Eli did what he was taught his entire life. He worried about noting but himself. He fought for what felt like weeks until finally he was completely over run. There were Heartless there the size of buildings. There were hundreds of smaller ones. The sky was dark. The ground changed colors. He was scared. So scared... until finally... they overcame him. When they did he blacked out not knowing what would happen. Not having any idea if he was going to die, or if he was going to live. Not knowing if he was going to experience any sort of after life, or any sort of death. For the first time in his life he couldn't worry about himself. He could only... wonder.
Role Playing Sample: Eli crouched as he heard leaves bristle nearby.
"Please don't be more of these ... things!" he thought as he prepared for the worst.
He waited, in stealth, nearly impossible to see in the dark of the night as the noise grew closer. His left hand clenched the handle of one of his daggers, the other ready to throw a blade of ice. The noise grew louder as Eli kept hidden in the woods. He knew he'd have an advantage... yet he was still scared. These creatures could flow through the ground. They could hide just as well as him. It put him on edge. Little did he know they were called 'Heartless'.
The noise grew closer... closer... until finally it revealed itself as nothing but a deer. A long, hard sigh escaped his lungs as the stress began to fade.
"Damn, deer... I should make you my dinner for that," he thought.
However, as soon as all seemed clear a black figure flew threw the air onto the deer, and more and more began to surround the area. One came directly at Eli, not knowing he was there, or knowing, he couldn't be sure. The fact remained: he'd have to move. Eli drew his dagger and cut the small creature in half. As soon as he did this they surrounded him.
"Hmmm..." he mumbled.
Two leaped at him, one from the front and one from behind. Eli summoned an ice blade for an aimed throw with his right had and sent it flying hard at the small creature in front of him decimating it on impact as he turned to his right and connected the dagger to the other creature coming at him from the rear. He used the momentum to send another blade of ice at a distant creature, and summoned the Hue within him to rush step, almost instantly moving behind another creature and connect a stab with his dagger. The creatures continued to multiply and Eli didn't know what to do. There were so many...
The fight continued for what felt like days. Eli had exhausted all forms of energy as the creatures came at him harder and harder, but his will to live was uncanny and somehow he managed to keep fighting... and fighting... until finally his body began to give. Everything started getting blurry. He wanted to panic but even that was out of the question. He just couldn't go on...
He fell to his knees... everything... went... black.
