[h3]Personality[/h3]
[sub]Silver Wolf is a distant sort. He always has a friendly smile on his face, is never one for a rude or uncouth word in casual conversation, and often shows every person he comes across a fair level of respect as is required. But he never opens up about his past experiences, never speaks of his home or his past, and never seems to inquire into the dealings of any of his guildmates beyond a superficial showing of interest. While always eager to assist others in their day to day tasks, it is clear that the man works to keep a certain level of emotional distance between himself and everyone around him.

That is not to say the mask never slips, however, as, despite his usual demeanor as a calm and world-weary traveler, he has a side to himself that is both fierce and exploitative that only truly shows itself in a fight or a spar. In these fights, the mask cracks from time to time, through looks of frustration or elation, they chip away to show a man who feels a great sense of joy when engaged in battle. However, after every fight, no matter the outcome, this trueness is replaced by shame, self-loathing, and finally repression of everything he felt.[/sub]

[h3]Appearance[/h3]
[sub]Silver Wolf is a tall man with a somewhat imposing stature, dressed often in the garb of his homeland despite his distance from it. His pale silver-white hair ends in tips of dark black and often tied up in some sort of bun or knot to keep out of the way, as it is against the custom of his home to cut one's hair. Not only that, but it is clear to anyone who knows the man that he spends a [i]vast[/i] amount of time caring for his personal aesthetics. His hair shines with a sheen that speaks to the hours spent combing, washing, and otherwise caring for it that he does, and that is to say nothing for the rest of his appearance as he keeps a wide array of cosmetics on his person at all times. Beneath this mane, however, is a face that seems to be the epitome of 'dignified warmth'. He is never unfriendly or unkind in his expressions, but he is never that open either. There is always a bit of a guarded nature to his features, a mask that he has not let drop even an inch around any of his fellow guild members. 

In terms of his common choice in clothing, it tends towards the muted but still somewhat showy colors and decorations. Golds, Whites, and greens make up a common pattern, with a fine metal hairpiece to hold his hair in place when it comes to more formal or official meetings. He dresses in loose-fitting robes and Gi consisting of simple fabrics when on the road or in the casual day to day, but dresses in an outfit of the finest silks, decorated with a scene of a white wolf descending from the Mountains along the back when a situation calls for decorum.

|   History:   |
[indent][i]A Prince, now exiled.

Silver Wolf doesn't talk much about his past to the members of Dragon Fang, only that he was cast out in exile due to a mistake in his youth. He does not tell them of how he was once the Crown Prince and heir of the Gilded Wolf Dynasty, how he has traveled for over half his life in search of some measure of redemption from the evil he believes to haunt his soul. It took quite a while before he felt comfortable revealing his status as a slayer, as his preference for using the more upright techniques of the royal Martial Art does well to hide it.

In his home country, where he was once known as The Reverential Heir of Earth and Sky, it is believed that to be a member of the Royal family is to be a descendant of the great God De Shen, the Gilded Wolf who crafted the Earth. But also, that you may become seduced by the corruption which brought the great god low, the twisting spirit of Hēi Láng stalking in the shadows in order to corrupt those poor fools who seek power at any cost. So it was for Yin when a group of assassins attacked the Palace and tried to take the life of his father. The Black one appeared before him, and he called out for its powers to save his father. And so he did. . . but he was no longer a pure son of de Shen. he had proven himself to be as corruptible as the eminent od and thus, not worthy of the right to rule. And so Silver Wolf has walked the world in shame and exile, searching for some way to rid himself of the taint or, if not that. . . then some way to redeem his honor in the eyes of the Heavens.[/i][/indent]
|   Magic:   |
[indent][i]Earth God Slayer(The Defiled Earth Enlightenment Technique): The forbidden technique that cost Silver Wolf his position as heir, he naturally does not spend much time actually investing in learning how to further master it, even after many years of travel. Through the channeling of his Chi into the earth and his own body, he can reinforce his body with the power of the Earth to his strength and durability while changing the color of his skin to an obsidian black in color. Not only that but he proves highly resistant to lightning while he is touching the ground, both natural and magical. Conversely, Silver Wolf may also store this power into this second skin, causing it to crackle with electrical energy that he may release in response to being struck or through the Cracked Wolf Fang.

Defensively, Silver Wolf is capable of forming blackened constructs in mere moments, simple walls and spires of blackened earth that serve to further increase his defensive ability, and give him the ability to protect others as well. When mixed with the Path of De Shen techniques, it allows him to remain a mobile tank of a fighter who controls the battlefield and his opponents both with the skills of his martial prowess. Offensively, he has not done much to feed the 'Hēi Láng', much to its passive disappointment. 

The most he has deemed to master is summoning from the earth the Cracked Wolf Fang, a rugged spear formed of black earth that serves as his main offensive weapon. While not much to look at, it proves to be a sturdy and reliable weapon whose lethality he can control with a thought, the edge of its long blade turning from dull as a brick to sharp enough to cut a man who just grazes his skin against it. If he was more willing to delve into its secrets, it would undoubtedly make a fearsome tool of destruction, but that is a path fraught with temptations he is not strong enough to resist.

Also, just like any other Slayer art, Silver Wolf is able to consume his element to refill his own magical reserve. However, unlike most slayers, this does not need to be a physical consumption of the element to work. He can also leech the Chi from the earth at his feet and that he comes into direct contact with, though this causes a dark tinge to spread through the affected earth that leaves it barren, infertile, and inedible for him or any other Earth-type slayer.

The Path of the De Shén: An ancient style passed down through the ages by members of the Royal family, the Path of De Shen is said to have been a gift to the first emperor by the mighty Divine being before he left to ascend to the heavens as the king of the gods. It is through the will of De Shen that Chi flows through the earth, and through this Style, one can tap into this power and force their will upon it.

In practice, The Path of De Shen is a mixture of Martial Art and powerful magic that emphasizes powerful strikes, surprising bursts of speed, and precise awareness of how to utilize one's environment. This magic creates a constant link between Silver Wolf and the earth beneath his feet, facilitated by meditation, wellness of body, wellness of mind, and proper breathing technique to regulate the flow of Chi. With this connection, the wielder is able to manipulate the energy of both his environment and his opponent.

More plainly, this magic allows the wielder to control the earth in small, but noticeable ways without having to focus much direct attention into creating them, as well as apply certain effects in theme with the element of earth to his opponents through his connection. These usually involve some kind of slowing or stiffness of the limbs, slowing of the subject's magical flow, and even the ability to agitate the target into a more single-minded focus to the bane of all else. 

A skilled enough practioner of the Path of De Shen can also mimic the attractive nature of the Earth, bending the energies of certain kinds of magic so that no matter their intended target, they twist in the air to strike at the unbending stance of the wielder. At his current level of mastery, he can only direct electrical attacks towards himself, but every day he practices to manipulate other forms of elemental magic in a similar fashion.

Chi Manipulation: A common practice from his homeland, it is a form of restorative and meditative art that aligns the energies of the body along their meridians. Common methods of manipulating one's chi often make use of acupuncture, massage therapy, the burning/inhalation of certain burning herbs and incense, as well as the ingestion of mystical brews. The exact effectiveness of anyu method is up to debate amongst many who se it, but for one who only dabbles their feet into the profession like Silver Wolf, the act of manipulating chi through the subtle applications of force along the proper points and meridians in the body is the safest and most worth learning.

By focusing magic into his own body or into that of a willing patient, Silver Wolf is able to ease pain, slow bleeding, hold back the effects of poison or disease, speed up one's natural ability to heal(if only a little bit), and even increase the flow of magic throughout one's body to give them a temporary boost in their effectiveness. This ability also flows into his combat ability as well, as he can read the chi of his opponents through their connection with the earth, giving him an enhanced sense of awareness. Whether it be predicting the moves of his opponent or detecting the presence of hidden threats, this technique proves very useful no matter the situation.[/i][/indent]
