Thus he may reconsider things which are too reckless. ⋆ He is kind to those who are kind in turn, not just to him but to others. He does not hold back if there is someone doing unkind things. Engaging them in verbal or somatic action. ⋆ Carneylus will not allow a companion of his to fall in battle as long as he has a say in it, yet he is not reckless enough to not guard himself from a potential lethal blow, even in situations where he is feeling pressured. ⋆ To most people he is calm as still water, but if someone does something which he clearly disagrees with then his temper will flare up. Not to the point of him losing his concentration and focus however. ⋆ Generally very patient, unless there comes a moment where quick decisions need to be made, usually when a life needs to be saved. ⋆ He is very brave. ⋆ Very few things can make him nervous or anxious. ⋆ His reactionspeed is good, his movement is fluid enough in his attire to allow him to take plenty of actions when required. ⋆ Whilst intelligent enough, he does not possess a genius intellect or be a master strategist. He is however intelligent enough to not get baited and lured, most of the times anyways. ⋆ The idea of manipulating other people he finds appaling and something one should be ashamed for even thinking of. He is however charismatic, getting attention whenever he speaks up to give his input or hold a speech. He also has the physique and looks that would make most consider his appeal to be nearly divine. ⋆ While he may laugh at jokes and even crack a few himself, the man often become reminded of past events which tend to make his mood more serious. ⋆ Carneylus is not insane. ⋆ He is very conservative about his stamina and usually takes the option which requires the least amount of effort but the biggest yield. That aside the man has a vast amount of stamina and endurance.

[b]History[/b] Carneylus was born in an elven village, his mother lived in a small house there and his father was a travelling merchant which seldom were at home as a result. Life as he came to know it was a mixture of good and bad things, the good things were to listen to music, to see the beauty of nature and the lights far up into the vast and dark skies at night.The bad things were having to deal with the local elven population which became more and more irritated and annoyed with their predicament following their lost war against Aklenroth. There were no lack of scapegoats for their failure, and one of them was Carneylus, but there were others far worse off. A childhood friend of his, a winged demi-human girl of the angelic kind had things far worse, having to live a life of servitude to the people which despised her. Carneylus befriended this girl when he was but a young boy, he brought her flowers and things from the outside world, things which she was not allowed to look at or venture out to explore. In return he got to taste some of the pastries of the elven folk and leftover food. His own mother was also not immune to the judgemental nature of the elves, as she was called a beast and accursed and were seldom seen outdoors because of it. Then things took a turn for the worse, as the governor of the light elves, Terneus Andros spewed his propaganda of demi-human spies and thieves infesting the elven lands, how they were a plague that had to be contained. Thus he put up guards to stop any demi-human trader for passing through the villages without paying a severe and overly expensive tax, which most could not pay. Carneylus father was one of those who could not afford to pay the tax and was thus unable to return to his home, the regulations forced him out of the area and towards the flower kingdom of the fairies. More as time passed the elves became more and more hostile towards his kind, many demi-humans were forced to leave the area. Some even vanished without a trace, some even spoke of elven assassins killing them in cold blood. Yet these rumors were scoffed at by the elves themselves as 'dirtbreed propaganda'. His friend, the girl who had been more or less enslaved by the elves one day decided to flee from them, whereof they began to chase her down, Carneylus was still but a young boy then but he was angered by their behaviour and tried to stop them to little avail. A slap across the face, a kick to the stomach and then being left behind was the treatment he received. With one elf placing his boot on his back pressing him down, forcing him to watch as they tortured his friend. Then left her for dead and dragged him back to the village and threw him to his mother. His mother nursed him back to health, but her own health became worse soon after having received a gift of fruit from an unknown sender. Carneylus didn't want to eat the fruit as he prefered fetching fish in the nearby stream at night. When it was less elves outside to see him poaching. Carneylus mother passed away a day after having eaten the fruit and the boy decided he had to leave the place, whereof the elves were happy to kick him out if he didn't fly off fast enough. He never forgot about his friend neither, hoping she survived the severe beating and torture the elves put her through. Yet all his searches were for naught, she was never heard or seen from again. Time after this the elven village itself was destroyed he heard, by then he had gone to Roshmi and was living there as a street urchin, gradually rising his living standard and finding himself learning swordfighting from an old soldier, then from capable warriors and lastly a famed but soon to be retired gladiator of the Roshmi arena. He lived there for ten years, ten years he spent to survive and become stronger. Feeling determined to never ever allow a friend to suffer because of his weakness, to never again let himself or others be oppressed by those claiming to have the right to do so. The young but now more adept man left Roshmi after those ten years, he ventured north to a place more reclused and closer to the water and nature itself. The bustling city life wasn't his thing, even if he was well received by the demi-humans in the place. The dark elves were almost as bad as the light elves, which in turn was an indicator for him to leave. Demi-humans with talent, unless protected by influencial people could possibly fall into the hands of Aklenroth's servants and dragged to Daka for who knows what dark fate. It wasn't as if he was afraid of dying, but more like dying in vain, not being able to do anything at all for anyone. He spent the remainder of his ten years in a small port town and soon attracted a small underground crowd of people, some of them being capable fighters and smugglers. It was both a way of living and a way for him to remain unknown to most of the outside world, honing his skills as a swordsman along others seeking to do the same, wereof their reasons were honorable, for revenge or a sense of duty. All were welcome to learn. The smuggling operations were helpful in bringing supplies in and out of the land unaware to the lich king and the elven lords, and even helping escaped slaves and 'traitors' to flee to the far west. It was only when he he met Valaeon, where he knew he had found a good partner to train with for what was looming ahead. The fire lit in Roshmi city, the rebellion coming alive under the leadership of Risa Millinia against the tyrannical king Aklenroth. If he wanted to make a change for good, this moment was what he had trained for. Would it be enough? Time would tell. [b]Special Abilities:[/b] - [b]Wings[/b] (Bone and leathery wings, the bone has been subject to blunt force trauma over a long period of time and is harder than on most bat-people as a result. - [b]Sharp teeth[/b] (may drink blood too!) - [b]Sharp nails[/b] (Makeshift weapon) - [b]Blood thinning saliva[/b] (If a wound is infected it will bleed much more than normal) - [b]Echolocation[/b] (He may detect physical things mid-flight, hidden enemies and even those hiding via invisibility. Etc.) - [b]Keen senses overall[/b] (Eyesight in darkness is better, while in light it gets worse) ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [b]Physical Strengths:[/b] ⋆ Physical powerhouse (He is physically powerful, capable of delivering and taking powerful punches or weapon attacks) ⋆ Master of the sword and hand (Unlike many warriors in Avalia, Carneylus is only trained in one way of fighting, which involves using a blade in single hand and his other hand for utility purposes, which may be grapples, punches, throwing darts or using a cloak to attempt to distract any opponent. He mostly uses a sabre or scimitar for battle) ⋆ Berserker bloodlust (Able to give himself a temporary physical boost, his movement becomes more instinctual than calculating.) [b]Physical Weaknesses:[/b] ⋆ Light magic may render his vision severely impaired if not wearing his visors. Normal light from the sun or items may also impair his vision, though the degree varies depending on the time. Note that light magic does not inflict more damage to him however. ⋆ Sonic attacks. Due to his keen hearing he may have severe trouble against sonic attacks. ⋆ Cannot manuever too well in water, tunnels or narrow passages due to his wings becoming a hinderance. Very strong wind could also pose a problem. [b]Species of Demi-Human[/b] Bat-person [b]Best Ability from Beast Side:[/b] Echolocation [/hider]
