While he has no issue with conversing with others, he generally prefers otherwise. When he does have to speak with someone, especially someone new, he addresses them coldly unless the situation calls for him to put effort into being cordial. He often puts on a facade of selfishness, looking out for his own interests, but deep down, he is determined to make a positive impact on the world for everyone. Despite his altruistic intentions, his tendency of using biting sarcasm and pushing others away can sometimes hinder his ability to connect with others on a deeper level. While some may find him cold and unapproachable, those who break through his icy exterior will discover a fiercely loyal and protective side reserved for those he cares about, whether they're friends or random strangers in need. He's the first to throw himself into battle, shielding others from harm, even if his people skills are a work in progress. Malachi's patience is evident when it comes to long-term goals and plans, as he is willing to wait as long as necessary to achieve them. However, when it comes to dealing with other people, his tolerance level can plummet faster than a lead balloon. He's easily irked by others and doesn't shy away from showing his unbridled anger, even in minor disputes. His patience with other individuals might not win him any awards, but he does approach unsafe situations with a rational and cautious mindset, always keeping his wits about him. He loves to plan ahead and make sure he's thought of every possible outcome. When it comes to intellect, Malachi is a force to be reckoned with. He has a wealth of knowledge in various subjects, showcasing his sharp intelligence and strategic prowess. However, reading people might not be his forte unless they come with neon signs, and his charisma might not be his strong suit either. His sense of humor tends to be dry and sarcastic, and he is not one for hyperactivity, although he seems to possess an inner reserve of energy fueled by his unwavering stubbornness.

[/cell][cell] [img]https://i.imgur.com/CVaqhcu.png[/img] [/cell][/row][/table][/center] [b][color=7AC4F8]History:[/color][/b] Approximately three hundred and seventy-six years ago, in the Sun Elf Kingdom, Malachi Elowyn was born into a distinguished noble family. His parents, Lady Alma and Lord Damalo Elowyn, were well-respected figures in the kingdom. Lady Alma was a brilliant inventor and engineer, known for her contributions to various devices, including the renowned Amora. Malachi admired his mother deeply, considering her the smartest woman he had ever known. She was warm and loving, always making an effort to be there for her children despite her busy schedule. On the other hand, Malachi's father, Lord Damalo, was heavily involved in politics and had limited time to spend with his children. However, Malachi still looked up to him and cherished the few moments they shared. Along with his older sister Morwen, Malachi spent much of his early years with their mother, watching her work her magic with her inventions. Lady Alma did not rely on literal magic, but rather on her intelligence and creativity, which she instilled in her children as well. They were taught the power of words and creativity, rather than traditional magic. Lady Alma's influence and nurturing nature had a profound impact on Malachi and his sister, shaping their values and worldview. They grew up in an environment that fostered innovation, intelligence, and compassion, with Lady Alma as their guiding light. Malachi carried the weight of his family's legacy as the firstborn, knowing he had big shoes to fill. Malachi's formative years were marked by a lack of close friendships. His sister Morwen was one of his only companions during his early years, and Malachi struggled with socializing. Unlike Morwen, who was more assertive and adventurous, Malachi was seen as awkward and peculiar due to his minimal use of magic. However, everything changed when he met Caralia. Caralia was a stunningly beautiful elven girl who captured Malachi's heart during his school years. He was infatuated with her and would have done anything for her. Caralia shared Malachi's passion for knowledge and creation, and their connection felt like that of soul mates. However, Caralia was under immense pressure from her parents to focus on her studies, while Malachi faced expectations from his own family to join the Light Elf forces and train in combat under his father's guidance. His father believed that Malachi needed to present himself as a strong elf to gain acceptance in noble circles in the future. As a result, Malachi found himself enlisting in the Light Elf Army when he turned a hundred years old. However, he did not enjoy this phase of his life. He spent countless hours guarding royals and enduring grueling training. However, this was considered a standard part of a young elf's upbringing. Malachi felt trapped in a life that did not align with his true passions and struggled to break free from it for a century. Finally, after fulfilling his father's expectations, Malachi was able to pursue his true passion of becoming an inventor and engineer, following in his mother's footsteps. He had acquired some prior knowledge from learning from his mother, but he knew he needed a refresher to fully develop his skills. Determined to pursue his education, Malachi threw himself into his studies with unwavering dedication. It took Malachi a decade or so after his graduation from Higher Education to establish himself as a renowned inventor in the Sun Elf Kingdom. He worked tirelessly, combining his intelligence, creativity, and perseverance to bring his innovative ideas to life. His inventions were well-received, earning him recognition and respect among his peers and the wider community. Malachi's contributions to the field of engineering and invention were significant. It was within the community of engineering that Malachi was reunited with Caralia, who had patiently waited for him all those years. Their love for each other had never waned, and their bond quickly rekindled. Despite the passage of time, Malachi and Caralia found that their connection was as strong as ever. After reuniting, it didn't take long for Malachi and Caralia to realize that they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together. When Malachi was around 230 years old, they decided to get married. The two spent the first ten years of their marriage enjoying each other's company before the idea of children came into the picture. The firstborn had been Balin, dark-haired and blue-eyed like his father. Malachi had been about 248 when he had been born. Malachi always made as much time for Balin as he could, not wanting to repeat his father's mistakes. Three years later, Rosamira was born. With golden blonde hair and a pretty face, she was a dead-ringer for her mother. The two children had bickered some, as they both had taken after their parent's intelligence which made for very opinionated conversations. The last child was Gael, who was four years younger than Rosamira and seven years younger than Balin. The Elowyn children easily took on a dynamic. Balin, the firstborn, was not only a spitting image of his father in looks but also in temperament. He had inherited Malachi's strength and independence, and he grew up to be a responsible and dependable young man. Balin had a natural caretaker instinct and took it upon himself to look after his younger siblings, always making sure they were safe and well taken care of. He had a kind heart and a strong sense of justice, traits that made Malachi incredibly proud. Rosamira, on the other hand, had a fiery spirit that matched her striking golden blonde hair. She was intelligent and independent, with a quick wit and a sharp tongue. She had a strong sense of determination and was never afraid to voice her opinions, which sometimes led to spirited debates with her siblings and parents alike. While her strong-willed nature could be challenging at times, Malachi admired Rosamira's tenacity and admired her ability to stand up for what she believed in. The youngest of the three, Gael, was the epitome of innocence and sweetness. He had a gentle and caring nature, always eager to please and help others. Gael had a natural talent for making people laugh with his goofy grin and playful antics. He was curious about the world around him and was constantly exploring and discovering new things. Gael had a special bond with Malachi, who couldn't resist his youngest child's charms and found immense joy in spending time with him. Malachi could have never predicted how much he would adore his children. He had doted on them more than their mother and had been fiercely protective of them. He had been the type of father who had always rambled on about how great his kids were to anyone he came across. They had meant the world to him. Malachi, at 266 years old, had answered the call to arms, leaving his family behind in a secluded home that he hoped would be safe. His heart ached with worry for his beloved wife Caralia, their three children, Balin, Rosamira, and Gael, and his sister who had been visiting with her husband. Nonetheless, Malachi had fought valiantly alongside his fellow light elf soldiers, determined to protect his family and his kingdom from the dark elf army. [i]But fate had been cruel.[/i] The dark elf army had eventually closed in on the Sun Elf Kingdom, and the home where Malachi had left his family was right in their path. When he finally returned to the burnt-down ruins, his worst fears were confirmed. The devastation was overwhelming. The home he had thought would keep his family safe had been reduced to ashes, and his heart clenched in despair. With a heavy heart and a sense of foreboding, Malachi searched for any sign of his loved ones desperately, but the only warm body he found was Caralia's. She was barely alive, and Malachi cradled her in his arms, pleading with her not to leave him. But despite his frantic efforts, Caralia slipped away, her last breath leaving Malachi shattered. The loss of his wife was unbearable, but the pain of losing his three children and his sister was a crushing blow that left Malachi reeling with anguish. The emptiness in his heart was overwhelming, and the weight of his grief seemed too heavy to bear. The memories of their laughter, their hugs, and their innocent smiles haunted him, and he couldn't fathom a future without them. Their absence left a void that nothing could fill. Malachi was never the same. With each passing moment, he grew colder, more distant, and more embittered by the unfairness of it all. He put all his efforts into avenging his family and creating a world where children could feel safe. He joined up with what rebellious hearts he could and despite his lack of charisma, found himself as one of the leaders of the rebellion movement that would later summon humans into Avalia.

It's not remarkable. [color=mediumturquoise]✦[/color] He has nothing physical to give him much durability. [color=mediumturquoise]✦[/color] Though he can travel on foot for a long, he isn't much of a runner. Running for long distances is not his thing.

A few years after Malachi turned one hundred, he enlisted himself in the light elf's army. It was there that he was trained in combat. He remained there for around a century. At age ~200, he left the army and decided to pursue his dreams. It wasn't until the war 110 years ago, when he was around ~266 years old, that he picked his bow up again and has not dropped it since. [color=mediumturquoise]✦[/color] Sword: [color=mediumturquoise][b]~30 years of experience[/b][/color]. Malachi was trained with a sword in the army, but because he was much better with a long-range weapon, he only used it when he was told to and made sure to understand the basics. Granted, it has been a [i]long[/i] time. [b][color=7AC4F8] Hand-to-Hand Combat:[/color][/b] [color=mediumturquoise]✦[/color] [color=mediumturquoise][b]~40 years of experience[/b][/color]. Same as the sword, he's trained, but he does not favor this way of fighting. Though, he did spend more time understanding this than using a sword. Granted, it has been a [i]long[/i] time.
