Persona: Kelsier is calm and cool, even under pressure. He has a decent sense of humor and doesn't mind jokes directed at him. His loyalty is unquestionable, if you are able to win it. He has a code of honor known only to him, though he will set it aside for a comrade. He is very intelligent and those that underestimate him are in for a world of hurt. He is easygoing until it becomes time to fight, then his personality shifts and he becomes emotionless, focused, and quiet. His manners often seem 'old-fashioned' and he is extremely chivalrous, however he sees no problem with women fighting. He pays attention to small details and he is very thorough, and while he is hesitant to commit himself, but once he does, he sees it through to the end never giving his second best. He is fascinated by guns and technology, almost as if he has never seen them before... [hider=Post Example:] Kelsier loved watching the sunset. It reminded him of days gone by and something else he couldn't remember, a flash of a green eye, the smell of strawberries and sunshine. He sat, watching the sun sink and the twilight grow until it was fully dark. Having no need for rest or food, he got up and resumed traveling. He walked for quite a long time, able to see by the light of the full moon overhead, until he came upon another traveler camping by a fire. Kelsier stepped into the ring of light from the fire and made his assessment of the man quickly, short and broad with the build that only comes from hours of hard physical labor. About thirty years old, still in his prime with a sword in a sheath next to him. Kelsier pegged him as a farmer turned mercenary. The man looked up and saw Kelsier's tall dark figure. The man grinned and said, "Well, its not every day you see a fellow traveler. Come, boy, sit warm yourself by the fire. Although," the man cautioned, "If you mean ill, I am armed and I know how to fight. "I mean you no harm, sir." Kelsier answered "I am, as you said, a fellow traveler." "Good, good have some food, I have plenty." the man said. Kelsier thanked him, sat down and started eating. As he ate the man introduced himself as Pel and Kelsier introduced himself. Then Pel asked, "So, why is an obviously strong warrior like you in a gods forsaken place like this?" Kelsier paused, and looked up saying "It is polite for the host to tell about himself first." Pel let loose a hearty chuckle. "Got it in one, you did. Very well." Pel told Kelsier about how he was traveling from the capitol of the Earth Kingdom back his farm on the edge of the Water Kingdom with his profits from his time as a mercanary. Kelsier pointed out that traveling alone in these times was very dangerous to which Pel replied with a laugh and a grin, "Then why are you traveling alone?" Kelsier didn't reply. When he was finished, Pel brought out a canteen of whiskey, "All that talking makes a throat dry, want some?" "No thanks." Kelsier replied. Pel shrugged and said "Suit your self." He took a swig, "Ahhh now that feel good. I've told you, its your turn now." "I am just a wanderer," Kelsier said "looking for my past, and trying to find a future." Pel glanced at him "Is that it?" "Yes, that is all." Pel shrugged again and said, "You're welcome to share my camp until mourning." "Thank you." Pel crawled into his tent and soon went to sleep. Kelsier remained by the campfire until it started to die, then without a word he got up and continued on his journey. [/hider] Equipment: His sword, Silver is capable of charging its blade with one of three elements, fire, ice, and electricity. (This is the sword's power, not his own.) His armor, Shadowlight is a powerful suit of armor that he can summon and dismiss at will, it isn't ordanary armor, a portion of his soul is bound in it. It is nearly indestructable, yet is quite light and alows for decent mobility. He also is wearing a a gold ring set with a large diamond that has a symbol carved into its facet. Ability/Magic/Technology: When he fights he prefers to be up and personal. He is a skilled swordsman. He tires less quickly than normal. For reasons he does not explain he does not need to eat, drink, or sleep. His magic specialty is temporal magic, which is very complicated and he is still trying to understand and master it. Most of his magic, he uses to enhance his physical combat. Equip: He summons his armor on himself. Telekentic Slash: This allows him to cut something from far away. The amount of energy this takes is proportional to the distance. Kelsier likes to use it to catch an opponent off guard. Time bubble: He can create a bubble of changed time, once the bubble is up, it cannot move and one it goes down, it takes thirty seconds before he can put up another. The size and duration depends on the type. He has two types of bubbles: Speedbubble, which compresses time in a five foot range he can make a couple of seconds last a minute. From inside everything around it seems to move very slowly, this is moderately draining. Slowbubble is the opposite it expands time making a second inside a minute outside. The size can go up to a small room and it doesn't take much energy. Prescience: His most powerful ability. When activated he can see a few moments into the future. His mind is also enhanced to deal with all of the information. In combat this allows him to see what is about to happen and react to it. This ability burns through energy very quickly and he cannot use any other magic while it is active. Haste: He speeds the rate of time on the target, making the target faster, not just physically but mentally too. Paradox: This skill rewinds time back up to a minute. It takes all the energy he has, so after using it he is completely exhausted, but with it he can go back and change what just happened.
