Here, we see him form a tough outer shell around his body concentrating on tough, rigid stone to take the impact of hits and shots if need be. Though reactions are key, the time in which it forms is not something of a disadvantage, and allows him to take the impact quickly without doing too much harm. A Full body coating is where the most strenuous feelings come from, usually leading to a short, temporary weakness in the leg muscles. It is most effective in short, quick bursts on a limb or specified thought to briefly protect a single area, then change the location of the plating again. One other use of this is for brief camouflage. Whereas the movement in his muscles tire down his mana for using the stone-skin, covering a small/medium area of his body, whilst simply hiding the unhidden parts, can make for temporary disguise and blending. Even if it isn't used to hide from an opposition, it can be used to simply scout in a stationary location from afar without the trouble of being recognised ever-so easily. [color=Gray][b][u]Habits/ticks/quirks[/u][/b][/color][list] [*][i][u]Natural Vigilance[/u][/i] - Having grown through a downfalling cause, Fae knows when the time to be cautious is, at that makes for most of the time. [*][i][u]Determination[/u][/i] - Being brought into his cause, Fae has a strong and natural determination to complete a task by any degree, as long as it is beneficial. [*][i][u]Perfectionist to Planning[/u][/i] - It gets on his nerves to just go in with improvisation. At least some sort of rough guideline can set the uneasiness. [/list] [color=Gray][b][u]Skills/Talents[/u][/b][/color][list] [*][i][u]Information Gathering[/u][/i] - Having a fair share of leading a second life only to remove the suspicion of being a remnant, he's found a lot of trust and places that can provide him with useful movement patterns. Connections equal benefits in this world. [*][i][u]Mixed Fighting Preference[/u][/i] - Though this means he does not excel in one particular fighting distance or style, Fae's gotten the time to study different techniques and tastes to find an overall mixed style that balances out his abilities, be that long-ranged or up-close hacking. [*][i][u]Militarised Equipment Familiarity[/u][/i] - Not being as good as some of the other masters in MiddleSeed, Fae has a good understanding of the components and workings of the far richer and more advanced blade and new-age firearm. This does not shine brightly, except in the making of ammunition. [*][i][u]The Musical Talent[/u][/i] - Spending time in an area renown for its Musical interests, Fae has taken a good amount of time to familiarise himself with the surrounding world of tunes and melodies. The two instruments he particularly excels in includes the larger String section and the brass horns, to be exact. [/list] [color=Gray][b][u]Likes[/u][/b][/color][list] [*]Those who have reason, and those who have justifiable reasoning for their actions. [*]Fruit and Meat of the Upper-Class imports. [*]Taste in the Arts of Music and Craftmanship [/list] [color=Gray][b][u]Dislikes[/u][/b][/color][list] [*]Those who fight for the 'Hell-Of-It', or act based upon the lack of action pre-hand. [*]Overly pampered meals, with random flavourings thrown into them. [*]Immoral or randomised action, based upon complete 'Instinct' without initiative. [/list] [color=Gray][b][u]Personality[/u][/b][/color] [indent]Fae has always had a wide-spread appreciation for what people do in their lives, despite those nit-picked icons. His overall friendliness has made him quite a figure both in real-society and on-task espionage. Though, that has had its show of remorse towards certain foes, which can have pros and cons to the future. This depends on who he was tasked to combat out of defence. Fae has been known to mostly possess a strong ability to talk his way out of conflict, unless its necessary or towards what he believes should be done. Though he is not oppressive towards any of the two species that wander and flourish the realm, he does have a tendency to bind them as one, making it difficult to narrow down the fault of an action and blame it towards a much larger suspect. Most of his actions are affected by some of his general well-being, having seen life only to be happy with what he has to offer. [/indent] [color=Gray][b][u]Background[/u][/b][/color] [indent]Brought up in the Inner-Rim settlements of Alfheim, he moved down to MiddleSeed as soon as the talk of Resistance was afoot. Conflict between the Magi and Humans were almost completely normal and ignored, but the Ty' Un Revolution was one to go down in the newest of history books. The resistance originally forged itself in Alfheim, having only goals of removing the oppression to both sides of mankind, which allowed them to claim a few small settlements facing that problem. Fae was amongst those who joined rather early, towards the end of the [i]Settlement-Campaign[/i], where the next target was the arising troubles of Thalburn. This led to their name being recognised, and quickly seen as an inspiration. Where peaceful rallies only led to the [i]'Massacre of the 105'[/i], the conflict was expected to go on for many years past current times. Here, this only led to the disasters of the [i]Two-Encounters[/i]. Two simultaneous attacks on both the Expeditionary Militia Patrols and the City itself made for a bloodshed, and mostly for the rebels. Where they reigned supreme against the patrols, they were quickly surrounded and cut down by footmen, whilst the city did take numerous amounts of damage from guerrilla strikes in the midst of the charge, many were seen to perish before they reached their target. Ultimately, the attack was only successful in certain ways, having the tactical victory for the Resistance, but the total conflict's victor as the Thalburn. Thalburn had gathered up those of the Patrol attack, including the leader Sarkath, and executed them publicly in the city's staging area. Those who survived were almost only those who took part in the guerrilla raids during the charge, as they were able to pass on by detection. Fae, being one of these, was mortified at the simple loss of so many united hearts and determined souls, and went into hiding like many of those who also were lucky enough not to perish. The Sarkath Doctrine was set in place, making those who would continue to strategically and morally support the Thalburn ruler less likely to face oppression and more likely to gain necessary goods without having to fend for themselves. Fae knew of where to make his settlement, and with a small unit of survivors, took refuge in MiddleSeed, where he's remained for the past eight years since the Ty' Un Rebellion's critical defeat. He still believes that the people of his birthplace will someday be determined to repeat history, but with a different outcome in mind.

[/list] [color=Gray][b][u]Other[/u][/b][/color] [indent]Amounts those of the Magi and Humans, around with the oppression and conflict, it sometimes gives Fae a slightly less trustable background. His mother was a Magi, his father a Human. The Magi see him as an undeveloped and lesser-friend, whilst the Humans see him as an inbred towards the Father's honour. This doesn't inflict him greatly, as it does not actually involve a lot of discrimination, but instead the little things based around the trust, if the fact is known, that gets on his nerves. He also holds a Ty' Un symbol in the form of a tattoo on his back, towards the right shoulder. It is quite different, as it only is known and linked to the affiliation through symbolic translators and members of the old Ty' Un rebellion itself. He also enjoys simply being around either species. Having blood of both sides, which does though make his magi abilities slightly weaker than the average user, he finds himself comfortable finding ways to fit in to both groups. If anything, the conflict he fights for only was based around overall oppression, and not a biased species. [/indent] [/hider] [/centre]
