[center][h1]Soul[/h1][/center] [hider] Name: Soul Sex: Male Age: Unknown Personality: Soul can appear quite aloof. Often he ponders things such as the nature of life and existence. He is ever inquisitive, often curious about many things. Like a child, once he learned to ask questions, he never learned to stop. But he is also naive and can become easily confused by complex concepts, especially in regards to emotional things. Often able to repeat many philosophies, but often he lacks a deeper understanding of them. Appearance: [hider] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/originals/de/f6/de/def6de24edaebc0fc1a434c0e2f132ae.jpg[/img] [/hider] [hr] [hider=Powers] Obfuscation: while not invisibility, his presence is masked. While using this some one's mind refuses to see him, smell him, or even hear him. Even masking his thoughts and emotions. Although there are limits, as people will ignore a whisper if he were to shout, they suddenly become aware of him. He can also extend this ability to other things and people, but the more he needs the cover, the more he has to focus on it and the more draining it can become. It also only affects things that have a will or mind that can be fooled. Shadow Walk: He can use shadows as doorways and between them at will. Celerity: He can enhance his speed and reaction time, his very perception of time slows down, and he can react at blinding speeds for short bursts. Heightened sense: His sense of hearing, sight, smell, and even taste are of an extremely heightened level. He can notice the slightest detail, pick up the faintest scents and hear the softest whisper. He can even smell and track trails of magic, hear the spells' calls, and even find the cracks and weak points in barriers. Might: He can increase his physical strength, making him much stronger. [/hider] [hider=Spells] Call of the Shadow: He can pull shadows to himself and envelop himself in them and meld into them. Illusion: He can Create and cast illusions of sight and sound. While not physical, he can make nearly any image and alter entire buildings, inside and out. Transformation: By focusing his mana on himself, he is able to re-shape feathers and re-sculpt his body, though this takes time as he has to sit down and physically sculpt his new look. Though things like hair and eye color can be rather simple. Self-Healing: While meditating He can heal his body with magic, even regrow limbs though that takes much more time and requires him to burn more mana [/hider] [hr] Short Bio: Soul had a rather precarious beginning. He has neither childhood nor a parent. He is as he has always been. He was made to serve a purpose, to act as a key to the Eldritch realm of the void. Born of neither life nor death, he is akin to a flesh golem. But also more. He is walking Paradox, he is, and he is not. A Life without a soul. But he was more aware than they thought he would be. Though before they could complete the rituals to unlock the gateway of the void, they were found out. Soon coming under assault, the cult was rooted out and destroyed. But the question of what to do with him arose. He had a will, and he had a life...he had at least a part of a soul. But more, he had potential. The mages that found him decided that he would be trained to use his abilities and use the innate manna within him. Though he had trouble casting magic, he excelled at anything he could channel into and through himself, and they only taught him limited spells. Focusing on only Shadow and Illusion. But they also taught him how to fight with nearly every weapon they could. Skills on infiltration. Seeing his innate ability to hide, even from magic. Many barriers even would let him walk through as they ignored him. He spent years in training, honing him to be the ultimate weapon. At first, he never questioned anything. The only life he knew was the life he had, and it was only half a life at that. Years passed, people came, people went. Some came back old, others he never saw again. It wasn't until someone finally asked him...if he wanted to live as a weapon. It was a simple question...one anyone would consider...but one he never had. He started to ask more questions. Like, why did he kill? Who were they? The more questions he asked. The more agitated people became towards him. The more curious he became, the more he started acting of his own will. Growing distrustful of those who told him they would take care of him, he started to listing closer to when they thought he could not hear. And heard the question of putting him down. Though he didn't let anything like that go further. When next they checked on him, he was gone. Though now that he had freedom, he had no idea what to do. So he wandered, and soon he was asked the 2nd greatest question of his life: what is your name? The half soul was the only thing anyone had ever referred to him as. That or the Gateway. Giving it much thought, He decided he would call himself Soul. And with that, he wandered once more. [/hider]
