K-97 — Roleplayer Guild

Name: Kalan

True Name: Filryn (means Twin blood)

Race: Half Elf (Human/Grey Elf)

Court (if applicable): N/A

Appearance: The first thing you would notice upon looking at Kalan is his youthful grey skin, making it clear to any who see him of his heritage, however the trained eye would realize that it is of a much lighter color than typically found among the Grey Elves. Perhaps then they would take notice of blue eyes too eerily human taking note of their interest or his slightly pointed ears perking up upon hearing something noteworthy.

However what you'll most definitely see is his long white hair resting on his shoulders, with the occasional thin strands falling upon his face which he has made a habit of blowing out of the way. Despite it's length he makes sure it is kept in a reasonable tidy fashion, less because he cares about his appearance but more to appear socially acceptable.

At a glance he is quite muscular in comparison to a Grey Elf yet would be considered to have a slim (although athletic) build in comparison to humans, he stands at six foot making him quite tall among elves but only average in comparison to mankind. He typically goes around in leather armor in order to make travel safer yet remain speedy while also wearing a light satchel to carry his few possessions and a small belt in order to hang weaponry from.

Background: Kalan wasn't born out of love, but rather intellectual curiosity. For years the Office of Faery Affairs has made use of Grey Elves in order to subjugate the Fae races however over time they had begun to notice a number of weaknesses they have taken great care to ensure isn't know to the public. Eventually it grew to a point where it began to hinder the operations of the Iron Police and so after the Iron Police put significant pressure on the Office of Faery Affairs, they hired a famed alchemist known as Alfred Magnus in order to figure out a way to fix their problem.

Taking a batch of Grey Elf Volunteers (who saw the reasoning behind his experiments as rational and for the greater good), he tried many different methods ranging from drugs to iron grafts to organ transplants but nothing he did worked as intended or without great consequence. He had all but given up and had resigned himself to the wrath of the Office for failure when he had a brilliant idea. He had been sitting in a brothel after yet another day of pointless work when as he sat there watching a young elf's performance, he wondered what would happen if he could cross breed out the weaknesses of the Grey elves.

Impassioned by his sudden stroke of genius, he returned to his laboratory and began pondering just how he would go about it. He realized that using another fae was pointless as it would result in a creature afflicted with the weaknesses of both Fae and Grey Elves so it occurred to him that only possible breeding which could improve the Grey Elves is one between Man and Elf. Now he knew that it was controversial for a human to have a child with any normal Elf but it was almost as taboo as bestiality for a human to even have sex with the husk of a creature as soulless as a Grey Elf if they would even agree to it in the first place.

So he decided that it must be him who bit the bullet for the sake of progress and after finding a willing volunteer, they had sex and conceived Kalan. Kalan spent his years being trained up for the Iron Police while simultaneously being tested in order to find the limits of his nature, to Alfred's amazement he went further than anyone expected surpassing both his parent races and Kalan quickly found himself out on the field in patrol with the Iron Police.

He was a hit with the other officers. A Grey Elf with a sense of humor, what are the chances? And he got the job done quicker and more efficient than any other Grey Elf ever could so it was no wonder he was soon an officer, something almost unheard of for a Grey Elf, not that they particularly cared. It was the eve of his Promotion Ceremony and his fellow patrolmen had come to collect him from his chambers when they found that he had gone missing. No one could fathom why he had gone , he was a Grey Elf after all he shouldn't care.

But no one truly understood what it was like to be Kalan.

He had never really had a childhood seeing as his mother couldn't love him and his father saw him as a pet project, his Grey Elf comrades couldn't deal with his emotional needs due to their lack of emotion and his human comrades expected him for the most part to be just like other Grey Elves at the core so it left him confused for most of his life.

He could never give vent to the remorse he felt every time he looked into the eyes of a Fae he just captured.

He could never give vent to the self-hatred he felt when his parents showed no love towards their own son.

He could never give vent to the loneliness he felt when he realized no one in the world was like him.

And eventually it was too much.

Possessions:
*His Clothes (Casual and Leather Armor)
*Twin Steel Daggers
*Twin Revolvers and ammo.

Talents:
For reasons unknown, he had always been scarily dexterous and agile, he never understood how as it was intuitive but he found it remarkably easy to make shots, dodge things and stab people in ways most would think impossible. As he has experimented with this he has found that focusing and blocking out his emotions increases this unearthly skill but it is incredibly difficult to maintain this level of concentration meaning only when he has time to concentrate (i.e. to plan out a single move) or if his emotions are dampened some how could he use this skill to it's highest potential.

However he has also found that his dexterity depends on how predictable the situation is and when more unpredictable elements such as magic are introduced, he is more likely to miss. For instance, he'll find it easy to shoot a man in his left hand who was sprinting across his field of vision, but if it was a gnome using magic to sprint across his field of vision it would be much harder for him to hit them with any success.

Furthermore his upbringing has meant that he has a good knowledge of how both alchemists and the law enforcement operate. He also possess many skills relevant to the Iron Police as a result of his time serving under them and some basic alchemical knowledge due watching his father.

Glamer: N/A as he is a non magical creature and his abilities are a result of biology alone.
