Full Name: Stantas
Age: 79
Race: Elf
Gender: Male
Guild: Sorcerer
Alliance: Shadow
Magic: Stantas is a skilled sorcerer, having practiced magic since the age of five. He specializes in the manipulation of fire and light, as well as in transfiguration. He chose to be a sorcerer because he wished to explore further the limits of magic that the mages would not allow him to do.
Birthplace: The edge of the Uncharted Lands
Strengths: There are many. He is skilled at magic, combat, is extremely fit and strong. He is gifted in all the languages of the Shadow Alliance and many of the Taladin, Lavandsh, and Von Thaalas languages as well. His knowledge of the land is extensive. He is incredibly fast and nimble. He is nearly unbeatable on the battlefield.
Weaknesses: Although at first glance there does not seem to be any, Stantas certainly has his weeknesses. Probably his most important is his past. He never knew his family, except that they were good people and that he was going away from them.
Other weeknesses inlcude his ability to lie: it is mediocre. He is not bound by Truth, but it is difficult for him to betray; also, his knowledge: other than magic, combat, and geography, it is limited, but this does not affect him much. It is not the he is unintelligent. His enemies often make the mistake of this assumption.
Description: Stantas is difficult to describe, as his skill in transfiguration causes his appearance to change to suit his whim. He is, however, tall and lean, belying his incredible strength. He is commonly dressed in a red cloak, so dark that it is nearly black; hooded. He commonly walks shoeless, for he believes that it increases his connection with the elements. His body is horrendously scarred, as he cannot make them disappear completely, but this fact is usually covered by his clothing. His hair, though of varying lengths, is always raven black.
Weapons: When Stantas is required to resort to the use of weaponry (he typically prefers to use magic), he is lightly armed. He carries a longsword at this side, and a short knife at his breast. He can occasionally be found wearing a chainmail under his cloak, but only when he considers himself in mortal danger. He despises the use of axe and mace, as he finds them barbaric.
History: Stantas' history is clouded, and no one knows the details. He does know, however, that he was born on the borders of the Uncharted Lands, and that immediately following his birth, his family was massacred. He was the only survivor, and was abducted. He was taught to follow the teachings of evil, and to learn magic. He knows that his family would be ashamed of him, but he has been taught ruthlessness and does not care. It is because of this strange history that he does not have a last name.
RP Sample: The mist swirled around the dark, cloaked figure as he walked towards the west. His face was indiscernible under his hood, and the color of his cloak was difficult to place: at some times it seemed crimson, at others more black. But if one had come close enough to realize that it was a combination of both, it would be the last thing they would ever know. Stantas was a violent person, and preferred to be alone. He has already been responsible for a large percentages of the deaths of the Shadow Alliance, and because of this, he was shunned. The leaders knew the value of his violence and ruthlessness, but the common soldier rejected him.
But Stantas did not care. He preffered to be alone. It allowed him to reflect about magic and about himself. His moments of most power occurred when he was alone. He would only suffer the presence of others around him when it was required, such as on the battlefield, when he would take out is frustration on the enemy.
The mist continued to swirl as he walked, deep in thought. He himself did not know his destination: he simply followed where his mind told him to go. He was often in this state. He had not seen any living thing other than small animals for almost a week. He could feel hearts stirring around him and knew that he would soon be called back to civilization, and was dreading it. But he knew that it would be no good. He was not allowed to remain neutral in this conflict: he was too powerful an asset for the Shadow Alliance. They did not realize that he was plotting his breakout of their clutches. He wanted to remain neutral, maybe even help the Taladins sometimes, but right now, that was not an option.
But soon...
EDIT: Out of Character, I would like to note that if I am allowed, Stantas will not break from the clutches, but end up taking over leadership of the Shadow Alliance. But only if you let that happen.
