[indent][color=#58D3F7]Kanza stands at a little below average height, 5''10' with a body fit for the normal duties of a tribal men, like hunting, scouting and/or trekking. Kanza is one of the more... effeminate looking tribesmen, having a slender and sleek figure which helps in his agility, being able to bend and sprint quicker than normal. His wavy, dirt blonde hair flows past his shoulders with an unblemished face to boot. Enemies usually underestimate him because of his appearance, Kanza himself doesn't seem to mind but he does take advantage of this underestimation.

One of his most striking features is his piercing blue eyes, which supplement his rather daunting glare. It contrasts against his lighter complexion helping him (much to his chagrin) stand out in the crowd more often than not. His voice is said to be silent yet commanding, strewn with a particular sternness and finality to it. In the infrequent occasion that Kanza is annoyed/vexed the intonation in his voice changed; many longears break into a cold sweat whenever this is so, and as such many try to avoid doing so.

Kanza usually covers himself in a long, black cloak that drapes onto the floor. It is supplemented by dark-forest green leather for a tad more protection, it is also adorned by white fur for ornamental reasons. It covers all the way up his neck, an unconscious effort to cover his perceived to be birth mark. Underneath he wears a simple, sleeveless vest. On his right hand a glove that helps grip and steady his arrows before shooting. His quiver has complex and ornate details carvings, done by Kanza himself. An eyecatching carving is the engraved cog-wheel, when asked why that pattern specifically he will honestly not be able to produce an answer.

The mark of [url=https://i.gyazo.com/7b72badde68a9ead06f99ec72d405a43.png]death[/url] rests on the right side of his neck. As he uses his powers it begins to bleeds, at first shallow but begins to bleed heavily as he uses up more of his lifeforce. It also glows a deathly-pale blue, as pale as death. Provided he continues using his powers his mark begins to extend to his chin and right elbow looking more veiny as it propagates.[/color][/indent]

[indent][color=#58D3F7]"On many occasions, he was denoted by most around him as solitary and observing. He speaks only when he finds it necessary to do so, and with a discerning eye he can make the an astute observations/judgement towards an individual he had just met. In that sense he is considered to be somewhat pragmatic.

He tries and avoids large crowds whenever he can, finding them rather cumbersome to deal with. Between him waving off men for trying to hit on him, and also trying to ignore the envious glances that women steal in his direction for his relatively feminine features. He also dislike at loud noises and sounds, and by extension, would usually be found at some quiet corner of a large party in his lonesome.

Since he is young and lacks experience, many things cause him wonder and amazement. If something had piqued his interest, he would be found examining said thing with an almost childlike wide-eyed wonder. This usually occurs frequently with his wanderlust not helping in it's placation. He is a man whom loves taking in his surroundings and marveling at the beauty of everything, and has a certain distaste towards those who blemish the natural order of things."[/color][/indent]

[indent][color=#58D3F7]"Kanza hails from the 'Longear tribe'. The name may say otherwise but thy were not elves, but due to the tribes natural beauty and flawless traits bearing a semblance to the elves touted in fairytales and myths of old. They are a tribe known mainly for their adept usage of the bow to hunt and has, for many decades, passed down it's teachings from generation to generation. They are one the most accurate and sharp eyed individuals hailing to the thick forests of the South East.

Kanza was birth of normal parents, both hailing from the Longear tribe. He wasn't someone that many expected anything from, his parents simply wanting him to be of use to the tribe and adhere to their traditions- which was to learn the way of the bow, and to give praise to the 'Goddess of Marksmanship - Artemis'. Not much else was really required of him, but he found that going forward without a goal would bear a fruitless effort. So he set a goal for himself, to become an advisor (of sorts) to the leader of the tribe.

And so he set off on this goal, and with the help of his sound, tactical and pragmatic mind he drove up to the ranks of the tribe. Many would depend on him as the unofficial tactician/planner of the tribe. He also built up a notorious infamy of how deadly he is with his bow, his accuracy easily rivaling even the most seasoned veterans of his people. Many rumours have also circulated and whispered around the land, citing that he can 'hit a hare from 50 yards away, right between it's eyes'.

After amany years he had finally found himself as the head advisor of the tribe. Usually being present in the most important meetings of the tribe. He was also to act as the head of the tribe in times of the leaders absence."[/color]

[indent][color=#58D3F7][color=#58D3F7]"Tempus stands at 6"0', whilst tall is seen as a bit diminutive when compared to his fellow Gods. He is usually found clad in the armour he himself had crafted. It was devised as a way to withstand the strain of time when he is viewing it, and greatly helps reduces the receding effects of meddling with time. The armour itself is unique, unique in the way it would only fit Tempus. It glows a pale blue, exuding a sort of heavy presence and intimidation.

Many people do not know what [url=https://i.gyazo.com/a34fbaf550e9979bf79d9976da3091c6.png]he[/url] looks like without his armour. He has long, black hair that flow all the way down his shoulders. His gaze is sharp, but usually unconcentrated, as if he was pondering about something deeply. His visage is entirely human, or atleast thats what he wants people around him to look like. With his casual attire that he is almost never seen in, a ragged and broken scarf can be found enveloping his neck, it is one of the only standout features of his out-of armour ensemble."[/color][/color][/indent]

[indent][color=#58D3F7]"Tempus came into being, created by the 'Elder Gods'. They were tired of other Gods muddying the timeline as they saw fit. They made Tempus, whose domain was time, he was to watch and carefully observe the sanctity of time, to be sure that no god were to do as they wished. Similar to Gadreel whom protected the Garden of Eden in the Bible, from the very beginning he was destined to fail.

He made his presence known to the other Gods, enacting punishments onto the Lesser Gods whom messed with time for their own wishes. He cited enough warnings towards these Gods, but most just scoffed at him, citing that they were free to do as they desired since they were 'Gods'. The punishments he wrought weren't exactly merciful, some would be made stuck in the timelines they intruded in, and only after many millennia of careful contemplation would he allow them to time travel once more. Offenders would be marked by Tempus with a more restrictive set of rules. As such many Gods held him in disdain, some even loathe him for how remorseless he appeared to be, even when given plentiful of warnings beforehand.

His steel-iron ruleset would be bent when his eyes met with his Starkissed. He was the most beautiful existence he had ever seen, and that's saying something considering he can see the past, present, and the undeterminant future. The woman was the first to approach and converse with him, despite his rather infamous reputation, day on day she would come around and just... talk with him. She slowly melted his cold and aloof interior. Her visiting would be one of the highlights of his day, and he would count down the time, down to the very second until she arrived.

It was a simple, nice gesture, and over time they would grow closer. She being one of the very few who'd seen him without his armour. Overtime it grew into something more than just friendship, but Tempus was still inexperienced with 'relationships' but he thought would somehow work out, even with his... 'job'.

Then, on one particular day, she didn't visit him, which was odd as she never had failed this, not even once. With a slight panic he tried looking for her with his powers, which was against the rules; which was to use his powers for his own benefit. This was the first time he had ever went against the ruleset set onto him by his 'creators' (or his jailers). He found her, being cornered by figures clad in black. They seemed to have malicious intent, but before they could reach her, Tempus appeared right behind them, with a single touch they turned into dust and bones. His Starkissed promptly hugged him, tears streaming down her face and was babbling in an incoherent manner, she said something along the lines of his makers sending those men, believing him to have become very 'human' since he had met her.

It was a trap, set upon him by the 'Dark Gods'. They whispered to his makers ears and made them doubt him. Soon he was surrounded by his creators. They restrained him in chains of impossibly pure white,[/color]

[i][b][center]"You have broken one of the basic edicts we have bestowed upon you, [i]they[/i] were right, your punishment will be decided by them."[/center][/b][/i]

[color=#58D3F7]
He was handed off to the ones who set the plan in motion, the 'Dark Gods', hiding devious and pleased smiles under their breath they bestowed the punishment. He would be cursed, and his immortal soul would be banished to the human realm for all eternity. There were no shouts of pain in the pure clandestine walls, he let them do as they will, as the incantations were said he silently swore he would come back to seek vengeance.

He found his powers, and memories starting to fade. His eyes open, resting on a roof. He had forgotten who he was, and was born as Kanza.

[color=9999FF][b]Life Force[/b][/color]: [color=cccccc]15/15[/color]

[color=9999FF][b]Juncture: Weakest Ability[/b][/color]
[color=#58D3F7][i]Tempus was once known as the 'Ruthless adjutant of Chronos', he was particularly good at preserving the sanctity of time.[/i][/color]
[indent]
[color=797a9e]Time's Displeasure:[/color] Kanza can manipulate time relative to him in small ways, for things like dodging a blow, catching fishes with relative easy, making a mental notation of land much easier etc.
[color=797a9e]Temporal Recognition:[/color] If in immediate danger, Kanza can activate this to see events happening a few seconds into the future. Overusage would result in being knocked unconscious.
[color=797a9e]Revertation of Fettle:[/color] Kanza can grab an object (broken or unbroken) in his hand (eg. a broken pot), and reverses it to a time where it was in it's pristine condition.[/indent]

[color=9999FF][b]Adjunct of Mending Time: Moderate Ability[/b][/color]
[color=#58D3F7][i]Time is as brittle as glass, rupturing easily under the disruptive hand of the gods. These helped Tempus mend the shards of time.[/i][/color]
[indent]
[color=797a9e]Time's Osculation:[/color] Kanza touches a person, he will be able to see the memories they retain. This means that he can only see memories they can remember.
[color=797a9e]Temporal Mend:[/color] Kanza can heal the wound of an injured individual by reversing their injury to a time when it wasn't injured. However severe injuries, and particular attacks magical attacks cannot be healed.
[color=797a9e]Stint of the past:[/color] Kanza is able see a scene from the past of an area, affecting not only him but individuals he so chooses in an area. As if a movie was playing all around them.[/indent]

[color=9999FF]Desolation of Time: Strongest Ability[/color]
[color=#58D3F7][i]Used by Tempus as a last resort, these were mostly used as 'punishments' for the worst offenders.[/i][/color]
[indent]
[color=797a9e]Hour of Indignation:[/color] When Kanza uses this ability he restricts the power of another for a moment, dispelling any usage. He can use this pre-emptively to prevent a spell being cast, in which case, lifeforce is not spent. He may also use this as a silence while something is being cast. Finally it can be used in an effect that has a duration, but it does not completely destroy the spell, only dispels it temporarily for the duration of this ability. The amount of time this ability lasts varies based on several factors (the power of the ability, Kanza's personal state, the environment and situation, etc.)
[color=797a9e]Suspension of Pulse:[/color] The area relative to him is frozen in time, he may chose whom will not be affected. He cannot hugely uphinge an enemy's timeline by killing or drastically wounding them during this time. Lasts up to 15 minutes.
[color=797a9e]Time's Celerity:[/color] Kanza bestows or absorbs time in an area around him, in a domelike area, massively accelerating or reverse their time as he wishes. If it is not targeted or concentrated it will affect everything around him.[i][/i][/indent]
