[b]From: Reclamation - War of Technology and Magic (closed) [/b] Name: Araris Alpha Drayke Side: Magi Age: Unknown Sex: Male Race: Human? Appearance: Araris is 6'9" with jet black messy hair and sharp features. His eyes are the color of molten steel (a red-tinted gray). He likes to wear big leather coats with gloves and steel toed combat boots, usually with a dark shirt and pants underneath. He is very fit with a wiry and lean build. Personality: Araris acts upbeat and is quick to laugh. It seems like nothing fazes him. He has a slightly smart mouth ready to shoot off at anyone in authority or anyone trying to intimidate him. However, Araris is also smart and practical when he needs to be. He's skilled at deception and a good liar. He always does what he thinks needs done and screw the consequences. After an eventful history, Araris is just trying to settle down in this strange, new time. But he has a restless spirit and is adventurous at heart. Faction: N/A Biography: [hider=Biography] Araris was born to a rich family of powerful magic users during the reign of the Sorcerer-King. He had two younger siblings, a brother and a sister. Araris was found to have a great amount of magical power and was trained from a young age. But when he was about eighteen, his family was publicly exicuted for plotting to overthrow the Sorcerer-King. Araris swore to avenge their deaths and he and his siblings ran for their lives. From then on they lived on the streets as theives trying desperately to survive. His two younger siblings didn't make it. But he did. He became an expert thief and led a small but talanted crew. They fooled the unfoolable, stole the unstealable, and robbed the unrobbable. Many years later, Araris heard about a new rebellion and that it was uniting people and gathering momentum. He quickly joined it and worked his way through and soon became one of its leaders. The rebellion grew untill it was soon powerful enough to lay seige to the throne of the Sorcerer-King. During the battle he reclessly charged the Sorcerer-King intenting to exact revenge. The Sorcerer-King easly kicked his ass. Dying, he could only watch as the rebllion was being destroyed by the Sorcerer-King's unfathomable power, but just as all seemed lost the most powerful mages (not including Araris himself) tore a hole into an eldrich plane and an abonimation came through and battled the Sorcerer-King. Araris soon died- sort of. Though his body was destroyed, his soul was drawn into the Sea of Chaos and preserved. He stayed conscious as he drifted but the currents of magic were too much and he soon went insane. Somehow, he eventualy mastered himself and found sanity. Soon after that he began to learn. He learned much about magic and life and the nature of the world. He found that time seems to have no meaning in the Sea of Chaos but a long 'time' later Araris was able to escape. He decided to rebuild his body and inhabited it. However, he was ashamed of himself and he wanted to start anew so he left most of his memories in the Sea of Chaos. For 200 years he lived peacefully making a living and continued to study magic. [/hider] Skills: Araris is a master of all forms of spellcasting, where he truly shines is in manipulting the elements. He calls up and uses elementals. He can direct their energy and effect the physical world, draw upon their essence inside himself to enhance him or direct them to affect other's emotions. He calls these techniques 'crafting'. He is currently studing temporal magics. He is a powerful evocator, able to design and equip a full suit or a weapon in seconds. He has dedicated a great amount of effort to training physically. He has mastered various martial arts and various weapons. His true passion is in swordsmanship in which he was one of the deadliest swordsmen ever to live. He sees little point in shapshifing and is not very good with it. He mostly just uses in little ways like changing hair color or hight. His new body is stronger, faster, doesn't need as much sleep, tires less quickly, has more energy, and all five senses are superior to a normal person's. His mind too is enhanced allowing him to grasp concepts and learn quickly. He also has a perfect memory and he is ambidextrous. Abilities: He has all kinds of abilities so they will be generalized.
