Okay okay o[b]kay[/b], [i]now[/i] I'm all finished. I still need some more specifics about the Draoi powers, but otherwise please feel free to tell me what needs to be expanded upon.

[indent][b][color=CADETBLUE]//DESCRIPTION:[/color][/b]
[indent][i]Anton Lindquist is a tall, thin rail of a man, with a slightly slouched posture that makes him seem an inch or two shorter. He has high, pronounced cheekbones, and his heavy eyelids and the slight downward curve to his mouth make it look like he's disinterested by the world in general. Usually well put together, he keeps his dark brown hair swept up and out of his eyes, and he pushes it back without thinking about it as a nervous tic. He dresses well, preferring to avoid bright, flashy colors, but due to his arrow-thin physique, most untailored clothes look baggy and ill-fitting.[/i][/indent][/indent]
[COLOR=SLATEGRAY][INDENT][B][SUP][SUB][H3]▼ B I O G R A P H Y:[/H3][/SUB][/SUP][/B][/INDENT][hr][/COLOR][CENTER][sup][color=silver]"You can say your family is strange, but mine has a tradition of blood sacrifice for the purpose of gaining magical power. Don't give me that look; it works."[/color][/sup][/CENTER][indent][indent][i]Anton Lindquist was born to a wealthy New England family, one that had for countless generations carried the Draoi bloodline almost uninterrupted. At the age of eleven, Anton was made an Initiate of the Draoi, and at sixteen, after imbibing the blood sacrifice, a full Draoi in his own right.

However, Anton's interests lay less in the practice of his abilities than the theory and the history behind them. While his peers practiced in the art of manipulating the Vis, he drowned himself in libraries and research, poring over ancient tomes written in languages that hadn't been widely used for millennia. As a consequence, his powers deteriorated, but Anton was too absorbed in his studies to really care.

Of particular interest to him was the early history of the Draoi, and the first of their number who drank the Sap of the Tree of Life and founded their order. The art had long been lost to the Draoi, and Anton believed that if it could be rediscovered, the Draoi might be able to return to their former glory, without the need of the gruesome blood sacrifice that was their only method of producing new Draoi.

Unfortunately, his research hit roadblock after roadblock, and the ruling council of the Draoi became impatient with his consistent lack of results. When the council met one year to decide the next sacrifice, in the end it was Anton who was given the dubious "honor".

Anton, unsurprisingly, didn't agree with this decision. He felt that he was on the verge of a breakthrough (the same verge he'd been on for almost fifteen years) and that his death at this point would be horribly inconvenient. He fled New England the night before his sacrifice, and upon learning that Crescent City was in the midst of a disaster situation, decided that there was no better place to hide out and continue his research. Well, there probably [u]was,[/u] but beggars, as they say, can't be choosers.[/i][/indent][/indent]

He's fairly sure he covered his tracks well enough - if he has any luck, anybody searching for him will be chasing a ghost into the Russian countryside - but he intends to keep his head low, and gather influence and allies if the worst should transpire and it comes down to a fight. Long term, his goals are far grander. He intends to recover the lost art of obtaining the fabled sap of the Tree of Life and Death, and return the Draoi to their lost glory.

And then maybe they won't kill him.[/indent][/indent]

[indent][B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ Vis Manipulation |[/COLOR][/B] [i]As a Draoi, Anton is aware of and can channel the Vis, a mystical energy that permeates all things. While his powers are weak due to years of neglect, his specialty lies in the use of the Lux side of the Vis, specifically in the art of instantaneous travel from one point to another. Or, teleportation.[/i][/indent]
[b][color=CADETBLUE]//SKILLS:[/color][/b]
[indent][B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ Ancient Linguist |[/COLOR][/B] [i]In order to learn more about the early Draoi, Anton became fluent (or as close to fluent as possible) in a number of dead languages, and the archaic ancestors of modern languages.[/i][/indent]
[indent][B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ Enchantment |[/COLOR][/B] [i]Anton can imbue objects, preferably made of metal, with magical effects, allowing them to be used to perform a single, basic spell.[/i][/indent]
[b][color=CADETBLUE]//LIMITATIONS:[/color][/b]
[indent][B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ Conduit |[/COLOR][/B] [i]Since Draoi need their Conduit to properly channel the Vis, if Anton was to be separated from his, he would be unable to perform even the smallest spell.[/i][/indent]
[indent][B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ Out Of Practice |[/COLOR][/B] [i]A life spent focusing on research before practice has led to the deterioration of Anton's skills. He can only access the Lux side of the Vis, and even then he can't perform much more than teleportation spells.[/i][/indent]
[b][color=CADETBLUE]//WEAKNESSES:[/color][/b]
[indent][B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ Out Of Shape |[/COLOR][/B] [i]There's no polite way to put it. Anton was never an athlete, gets light-headed whenever he stands up too fast, and has the habit of hissing when exposed to direct sunlight. He's lucky if he can sprint full-speed for a block, and even then he's not very fast. There's a very good reason he decided to specialize in teleportation.[/i][/indent][/indent]

She saw potential in Anton's belief that the method of obtaining the Sap of the Tree of Life and Death could be rediscovered, and aided him in his research whenever she had the opportunity. When he was chosen to be sacrificed for a new batch of initiates, she helped him to escape.[/i][/indent][/indent]

[B][COLOR=WHITESMOKE]◼ [I]Nicholas Lindquist |[/I][/COLOR][/B] [i]Anton's father, and a member of the ruling council of the Draoi. When the council met to decide the sacrifice, his vote was the tiebreaker that led to his own son being chosen. Let that speak towards his character.[/i][/indent][/indent][/indent]
[indent][b][color=CADETBLUE]//STOMPING GROUNDS[/color][/b]
[indent][B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ Jerry's Apartment |[/COLOR][/B] [i]"Seeking roomate [sic], two bedroom apartment, cheap, MUST match rent, 420 friendly prefered [sic]. Contact the-j-man@yahoo.com for details." Cheap and dirty: those are the two words that best fit Anton's present living arrangements, nestled deep in the heart of the Narrows. Due to his extreme budget, he can't afford to live anywhere else, and Jerry is usually too high to ask any questions. [/i][/indent]
[indent][B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ Anton's Workshop |[/COLOR][/B] [i]Because the half of Jerry's apartment that isn't taken up by living space is dominated by a weed farm, Anton has had to find somewhere else to do his work. Situated in a rented storage compartment a few blocks from the apartment, Anton has set up a place to get some peace and quiet and produce enchantments. Due to a lack of capital, he's had to use more common conductive metals, such as copper, instead of his preferred (and very expensive) working material, gold.[/i][/indent]

[B][COLOR=SILVER]◼ Elsewhere Cane |[/COLOR][/B] [i]Anton's primary 'weapon', such as it is. An old, sturdy, ebony walking stick with a gold handle and tip, connected by a thin core of gold. It belonged to Anton's great-grandfather, given to him on his ascension to a full Draoi, when his family still believed that he wouldn't be an utter disgrace. The cane is Anton's Conduit, the focus for his power, and he uses it whenever he needs to get somewhere quick. It can also be used to teleport other people and objects.[/i][/indent][/indent]
