Name🌑 Shade.
Age🌑 Sixteen.
Race🌑
Dark Elf.Gender🌑 Male.
Appearance🌑 A pair of large, black and somewhat melancholy eyes would appear prevalent over a small, pale nose.
🌑 Upon a face offering the impression of a ‘resting bitch’, one can note pale, almost ghostly skin.
🌑 An expression of apathy could perhaps be pinpointed on the young man's features, which at times makes way for a barely visible smile or subtle frown.
🌑 A distinct lack of facial hair makes itself obvious on his Shades features, lacking a shave's lingering shadow, which could very well be a racial trait.
🌑 His lips are a thin, pale line beneath a small nose, most often remaining closed unless words cling to the boy’s mind.
🌑 Following this theme of petit, and pale, Shade’s pointy, if somewhat small ears are constantly hiding beneath a mop of black, oftentimes unkempt hair.
🌑 Indeed, the raven black nature of the boy's hair would clearly contrast itself against a ghostly shape.
🌑 One would be right considering Shade’s somewhat soulless gaze an unnerving experience, to say the least, which has been a rather detrimental part of social interaction, for the teenager.
🌑 Standing at a meager five feet and three inches, there is not much which would indicate a threat, from Shade.
🌑 In fact, it would be safe to say that his petite and scrawny frame offers a somewhat pathetic aura.
🌑 If he was to remove his shirt, a pale body with each rib visible would make itself known, where Shade’s scrawniness settles itself in confirmation.
🌑 A set of slender limbs color him dainty, if anything, where Shade’s digits could easily be mistaken for that of a female's.
🌑 As per the lack of facial hair, one would be right in suspecting that the theme is continued across Shade’s scrawny body, which is a clear indication of his elven heritage.
🌑 With a weight of seventy pounds to carry him, Shade would not be seen eager to participate in heavy-lifting.
🌑 Few muscles can be seen across his body, which at this point any onlooker would have been able to deduce.
🌑 In regards to clothing, Shade feels most at home in baggy fabric, which isn't hard to procure for his specific body type.
🌑 He is often seen in a shoulder bag, which contains a case of pens, along with notebooks, sketchbooks, and also, lockpicks.
🌑 Upon his hands, Shade wears a pair of black, fingerless gloves.
🌑 It is not uncommon to see him wrapped in scarfs, considering how the teenager freezes incredibly easily, and can barely handle the cold.
🌑 He variates between shoes and boots, with the former choice a much more common sight.
🌑 It is very common for Shade to have a hood on, mainly to obscure his nature.
🌑 When speaking, Shilo's quiet, somber voice has a raspy tint to it.
Height🌑 Five feet, three inches.
Eye Color🌑 Black.
Hair Color🌑 Black.
Personality🌑 Quiet, reserved, and withdrawn people are not a rarity, and most would consider this fortunate.
🌑 Shade is one of these reserved individuals, who prefers silence over rhythm.
🌑 This is not to say, however, that the teenager's introverted personality warrants a dislike of company.
🌑 Indeed, Shade enjoys having others at his side, despite what one would, perhaps, initially suspect.
🌑 Where he is most often seen secluded in solitude with eyes set on a drawing coming to life upon the pages of his sketchbook, Shade would welcome others into the scenario.
🌑 He does not seek company in the form of an active decision, however, which does brand him an oddity.
🌑 Yes, Shade is an outsider, if there ever was once.
🌑 Though, with all of his in mind, those who do know Shade could point towards him as a pleasant individual, all things considered.
🌑 Shade conducts himself with discipline and respect towards his elders, which would immediately hint at a background of distinct regality.
🌑 Manners, most would claim, are Shade’s most notable social strengths, whether at a table, or hallway.
🌑 He speaks in a quiet tune, which oftentimes warrants a repeat of his statements.
🌑 Shade is a kind-hearted teenager, indeed, but lacks much of what would be considered an attractive approach in groups.
🌑 If he finds himself amongst others, Shade tends to make himself scarce, and acts as a voice unheard.
🌑 He tends to pull away, and maintain his presence in the background, which has often prompted others to pull him back in.
🌑 Shade’s love for animals knows no bounds.
🌑 If he is seen with a critter on hand, it is because somewhere along his daily routines, the teenager found a wounded animal which he promptly decided to nurse back to health.
🌑 Equally so, Shade has a weak spot for the 'cute and fuzzy', which is a secret he keeps close to heart.
🌑 He enjoys romance, to a fault, and reads novels with a heavy focus on the subject more often than he would like to admit.
🌑 Around those he happened to feel an attraction to, Shade comes off as shy, but is easily hidden beneath his overall reserved nature.
🌑 With all of this in mind, the boy is still part of a cult.
🌑 Being an assassin, or an acolyte in the way of murder, Shade carries himself with cold and calculated executions in more aggressive interactions.
🌑 Despite valuing life to a certain point, cracks in this philosophy can be seen, when he draws his blade.
Likes🌑 Knives.
🌑 Sneaking.
🌑 Animals.
🌑 Playing cards.
🌑 Guessing games.
🌑 Parlor tricks, (watching them).
Dislikes🌑 Bright lights.
🌑 Large, open spaces.
🌑 Loud sounds.
🌑 Recklessness.
Hobbies🌑 Drawing.
🌑 Wood carving.
HistoryBirth🌑 Stories concerning Dark Elves tend towards a single tune, that they are servants of Evil.
🌑 This is, related to the absolute majority, true.
🌑 However, as is the case for most sentient beings, not all agree on the same ideals.
🌑 A handful of Dark Elves strayed from their kinsmen, which in turn branded them traitors and deserters.
🌑 Shade's parents were two of these peculiar individuals, those who saw less of an appeal in bowing to the forces of evil.
🌑 Whether an act of morality or self-preservation, it was a motion dictated by differing desires.
🌑 Demons are interested in one thing, and one thing alone, which is power.
🌑 Where most Dark Elves either ignored this fact, or failed to witness it, some were heavily affected by the glaring truth.
🌑 Shade was born following these events, where his early years were spent in hiding.
🌑 Of course, one ought not to blame the family of three, as Dark Elves had warranted their prejudice through actions of horror and tyranny.
🌑 Due to the immensely difficult climate, maintaining the presence of other Dark Elves who had abandoned the Demon Lords was nearly impossible.
🌑 Larger groups are easier to spot, and most certainly warrant more attention.
🌑 A small family of Dark Elves might be considered a shunned oddity, but not quite a threat.
🌑 A group of Dark Elves is an act of aggression all on its own.
🌑 It was what prompted Shade's parents to separate from their kinsmen even further, abandoning both friend and foe, in an attempt to remain sheltered by this obfuscation.
🌑 Shade was born, though cliché, in a cave.
🌑 It was his home, and it was a location both remote, and easy to protect.
🌑 Vegetation was rich, which allowed for fruit, and the confined space of a dark cave allowed for protection.
🌑 This was where Shade's life began, the product of two Dark Elves who had taken a step away from everything they once knew, in an attempt to carve their own path.
Cult of Moonshadow🌑 Not long after Shade's sixth birthday did his father introduce him to the arts of shadow stalking.
🌑 It was also when Shade was initiated into a cult ran by his parents.
🌑 It was called The Cult of Moonshadow, and consisted of mainly humans, all of whom hailed from darker backgrounds.
🌑 Though controversial, and by all intents unknown, The Cult of Moonshadow was a new chapter, a haven for thieves, thugs, murderers, and criminals to cast aside their past misdeeds, and aim their dark skills at another target.
🌑 The Cult was built by Shade's parents as a zealous organization focusing on the assassination of monsters, and those who would support in their advance.
🌑 'Evil, to fight Evil', is a saying often used within this obscure, unknown cult.
🌑 The Cult of Moonshadow currently has fifteen members, and Shade is by far the youngest.
🌑 The main goal of this cult is to eventually assassinate the Demon Lords, and those who would follow them.
🌑 It is a far off dream, but one they pursue with extreme intent.
Setting Out🌑 Still in training to become a true slayer of monstrous fiends, no acolyte on this path would manage a day in the role, without understanding the surrounding world.
🌑 Shade needed to learn what it meant to actually fight monsters, and what it meant to interact with the environment.
🌑 Where the safety of a cult he had known throughout the boy's life was comfortable indeed, the trials ahead would not look kindly upon him.
🌑 At sixteen years of age, Shade was deemed ready to venture beyond Moonshadow, and return one day, when he had grown accustomed to the world his cult aimed to aid, in their own way, through the shadows.
🌑 Shade was instructed to join the Adventurers Guild where this trial would find itself performed most effectively.
🌑 He was also told to hide his true nature whenever possible.
🌑 Of course, he was to never speak of Moonshadow, but rather return a wise young man, with the world surrounding him none the wiser in turn.
Adventuring Rank🌑 Porcelain
EquipmentAssassin's Blade🌑 A light-weight, small blade.
🌑 Not suited for prolonged clashing.
Traveling Gear🌑 Light, barely defensive armor.
🌑 Includes a cloak for obfuscation, and warmth.
Lockpicks🌑 Intermediate tools for less advanced locks.
Porcelain Adventurer's Tag🌑 Just a start.
SkillsAssassination🌑 Shade's main skill is delivering attacks to unguarded, weak spots.
🌑 Rather than swinging at his opponent, Shade gauges their movements and calculates the most devastating area to strike.
🌑 He prefers his opponents to be focusing on someone else, in combat, which makes Shade far deadlier.
Stealth🌑 As is the bread and butter of an assassin, Shade is incredibly stealthy, and sneaky.
🌑 He moves with weightless steps, and prefers to stick to the shadows.
Lockpicking🌑 Shade is adept at picking locks, and going where he's not supposed to be.
🌑 The ability can, however, be used for good, especially when releasing prisoners.
