 Tilnak resembles that of a 7' 250 lbs. praying mantis. sporting a thick brown chitinous exoskeleton that layers over his body like a suit of armor, four arms two of which are best used for fine manipulation, and an insect like head with two antennae used for smelling and tasting, and two big black multifaceted compound eyes.

Normally he only wears his cloak with a few robe-like undergarments to hide his otherwise quite monstrous appearance the best he can, at least while he is in the city. some small multicolored baubles and trinkets can be found on his person as well as multiple large and small bags of seeds.

[color=a36209]Abilities[/color]:

- [color=00a651]Terrakinesis[/color], the ability to shape and mold earth to his whim. This skill is one of the ones he uses the most for bulk offensive and defensive power. 

- [color=00a651]HydroKenisis[/color], the ability to gather and shape water. Although still powerful and effective, this power is used more in tandem with his efforts to purify and regrow contaminated areas

- [color=00a651]Flora growth[/color], influencing the growth rate of flora either in a small area to grow seeds or in a large area to promote growth. It is used as the last step in purifying an area.

- [color=00a651]Shield of light[/color], using the holy powers to bring about a holy shield and blinding light and push back the darkness of the miasma. a tool used for distraction, signaling, and to assist in the purification process. The shield is very pliable and can take heavy blows from a single direction or multiple light strikes from all directions. 

- [color=00a651]A Healing Hand,[/color] with the powers of light one can use it to heal almost any wound, subjugate toxins, or purify curses. He uses it as the main force in purifying an area of the miasma. He can also use it to heal others and is quite skilled in his ability.

- [color=00a651]Judgement of the Gods[/color], an ability he refuses to use on anyone or anything that is not corrupted by the miasma. a devastating ability using holy power given to him by the old gods to go against his nature and destroy life that the Miasma took for itself. it can leave him weak or stunned for a moment after using it as it is very powerful. usually effects an area around him but can also effect multiple creatures in a long line.

[color=a36209]Equipment[/color]:

[color=00a651]Elder wood Staff[/color] - a staff grafted from a dying ancient tree with a bulbus blue sphere of sapphire wrapped around the top of it. This acts as his spellcasting focus.

[color=00a651]Reinforced Reaver Cloak[/color] - This cloak is a bit heavier than most and not just because of its size, thicker fabric was used in its construction to add another layer of protection. runes cover its surface to aid him in mana regeneration and capacity. The blessings on it also help him condense and control his holy powers. there always seems to be something growing on it.

[color=a36209]Brief Background:[/color] 

Tilak is not sure where he came from or who his original parents were. he does however remember the kind old man that raised him in the deep forest. Reaching maturity at the age of 3 the old man taught him for several years about the worth and weight of life no matter if it’s his own life to that of a blade of grass. All life is precious and it’s up to us to keep the balance. keeping the natural order of things and fighting back against the Miasma and corruption. he spent 6 years with the old man going through his teachings every day and training his abilities.

2 years ago, he found a trail of corruption and destruction through his patch of forest, following it and cleansing the corruption. As he went, he came upon a strange sight. There was a small team of fae, humans, and Belua, he knew what they were based off the old man’s description of the other races. The team was fighting a corrupt beast and losing. several were heavily injured or exhausted and the beast, although badly wounded had the upper hand. choosing his timing carefully Tilak acted swiftly, stepping out from the tree line and immediately barraging the beast with earth attacks caught all of them off guard. The beast charged him, but he turned the ground around it into mud and then hardened it to catch the beast. 

stone pillars pined it down giving him enough time to step up to the wounded beast giving it a quick prayer as it started to break out of the stone and then ended it with a flash of holy light nearly cutting it in half. After purifying the area, he healed the others that were injured. The group seemed to be suspicious of him but were a bit more open about his presence after that. When he tried to leave, they stopped him and asked him to come back with them to their tower. It took some convincing, but Tilak eventually ended up at the tower finding a place where he can do better and help heal the world. 

[color=a36209]Anything else we should know about you[/color]: 

He has trouble with verbal language and prefers to either gesture or use a type of sign language to communicate. Tilnak is aloof as he is still getting used to human society and behaviors, especially what they call sarcasm. Staying exceptionally quite in both speech and movement, he regards himself as a protector of life and will even heal brigands after they have been captured. to take a life is always a loss for him, the only exception is corruption. Putting someone or something down that is corrupted is merciful. Sometimes he can get tunnel vision when purifying areas of corruption to the point he won’t rest and/or completely ignore others.

Tilnak is quiet but not cold, always willing to help, and show others the beauty of nature. Even through his monstrous form he doesn't have much trouble earning the trust of non-sapient creatures. He can see quite well in the dark and one can often find him sleeping in strange positions and areas but he never sleeps for long. he is stronger than an average Belua but has about the same stamina, Tilnak also has a talent for climbing and stealth.
