Forum Name: Krahhl
Color: #8055FF
Character Name: Sethri
Element: Water
Gender: Male
Race: Elf
Age: 27
Appearance: Sethri is average for an elf, though a bit on the tall side at two meters. He resembles a human with a more streamlined body and a proud aura. He weighs 70 kilograms and has well-defined, but not bulging, muscles. Dirty blonde hair flows straight down slightly below his shoulders. His pointed ears jut out on the side of his head. His narrow orange eyes are mysterious and observant, half covered by his bangs. He has no facial hair on his sharply rounded chin. He wears a red leather vest, loose on his pale skin, complemented by casual brown leather pants and boots.
Personality: Sethri is passive and goes with the flow, preferring to follow instructions rather than take lead. He is extremely intelligent and proud, but he does not like holding responsibility for others. However, he is quick to risk his own life to save that of an ally’s, as long as there is a good chance they can both survive. He is not so willing to directly sacrifice himself. In a conversation, he listens attentively, but says little. He seems almost cold at first, but he isn’t hard to get along with. He does not hesitate to kill, but will not do so without good reason. He acknowledges the existence of higher entities, but he lives life as it is. He believes that gods and worldly beings will do what they will, interacting only when necessary.
Abilities: Sethri, being an elf, has immense strength and stamina, as well as lightning agility and reflexes. He can run as fast as and for longer than an antelope and can flick a fly out of the air, though swimming is his real talent. He prefers to fight from a distance, dropping foes before they can reach him. He is a powerful magician, though casting a spell tolls just as much energy as any similar physical action would. He especially focuses on manipulating water and ice. He is also an elite archer, able to snipe a moving eye 200 meters away, hardly taking time to aim. His melee skills are somewhat lacking, and he relies on magic to escape close combat. If the battle is not going in his favor, he can freeze everything to almost absolute zero and flee, though this drains a massive amount of energy, so he cannot perform this if he doesn’t have enough remaining. It also leaves him very vulnerable if he meets hostility before resting.
Sethri has a companion, Nyks, which is something like a cross between a winged eel and a hexapodal salamander. Its body is smaller than a horse, but it has a long neck and tail. It has dark, yet seemingly luminescent, midnight-green scales and lighter colored fins running down its neck and the back half of its tail. Antennas protrude from crests above its black eyes and sharp teeth line its mouth. It excels at swimming with its webbed feet, although it is also a skilled runner and flyer. It has a special organ that holds compacted water, which it can shoot out of its mouth at extremely high pressure. It can easily sense the tone in which someone is speaking, but it can only fluently understand the elven language. Nyks serves as a flying mount, a partner in combat, and a friend to Sethri. It is unknown where the rest if its species lives or whether they exist at all.
Background and World Description: The elven name for the land in which they reside cannot be approximated with the English phonetic system, but it roughly translates to “Home”. This land is covered by forests, where the elves are constantly warring with the other sentient race, whom the elves call “savages”. Their appearance is somewhat similar to jaguars, but they outmatch even the elves in physical capabilities. It is their lack of magic that prevents them from overpowering the elves.
Sethri was born in a large elf city, but he was moved to a nearby village where life was not as easy. As he grew up, it became clear that his element was water, as he always seemed to have much closer connection with it than any other element. When he was eight, he was trained as a warrior, taught to perfect his skills for the destruction of others. However, there was heavy focus on discipline, drawing the line between warrior and bloodthirsty murderer. At age eighteen, Sethri took a vacation to the East Sea, where he discovered a mangled and suffering Nyks on the ocean bed. He nursed it back to health, and the two have bonded since.
