Acier

Name: - Acier

Age:- 27

Gender: -Male

Skills: Smithing- Acier loves to create and build things. He can always be seen tampering with some form of metal, and trying to turn it into something useful, such as a weapon or a tool. It just so happens that he is an incredibly skilled blacksmith. He can also enchant the weapons or armor he creates, because of his training in magic.

Magic- Many Metal Elementals choose to learn magic, simply to imbue powers and strengths into the things they create. Acier decided to continue his magical training after mastering the art of enchanting, and went on the route of offensive and defensive spells. He is somewhat adept at this, though he still has much to learn.

Magnetize- Acier, after much toil and training, has developed the ability to magnetize some metals. He can create a magnetic attraction between a rock, or a piece of soil that has metallic compounds and a weapon to temporarily stop the use of said weapon. This is a simple task for things like arrows and projectile weapons and barely makes a dent in his energy. Though for him to use this against handheld weapons he must focus on that weapon and actively detain it’s use. This causes his energy to drain much more quickly.

Metallize- Acier can use his metal elemental to draw different metals from the ground or near him. As long as Acier maintains physical contact, through skin, with the earth when he's using this skill he can draw metal up from the earth. Sometimes if he focuses he can pick and choose what metal he draws forth, however this drains him immensly. If he were to fight with this skill it would only be to draw spikes up from the ground with a mix of metals, not a single type, and it would tire him out quickly to do it more than twice an hour. He usually only uses this to get metal to make weapons and armor with. Because he is simply drawing the metal to him, he could technically draw other metals toward or away from him, though he's never tried to do that (OOC: Such as bend a sword in half while it's being swung at him. Though, being a blacksmith, he respects a persons weapon enough that I highly doubt he'd ever do such a thing.)

Axe Wielding- Despite the fact that swords are more common in Elemental communities, Acier was drawn to the axe. He’s trained relentlessly with this weapon, and can wield everything from a simple hatchet to a double-bladed pole axe with relative proficiency. His favored and most skilled form is in the form of standard one-handed battle-axe, with a battle hatchet in his supporting hand.

Race: -Elemental; Metal

Hair: -Acier’s hair is black, and extremely curly/wavy. He keeps it cut short so he doesn’t have to bother with it.

Eyes: - Black, seemingly with no pupil.

Home Village: - Tirren, City of the Earth.

Parents: - Viso, Father, Alive. Reniv, Mother, Alive.

Siblings: - None.

Character Personality: Acier has no problems speaking his mind. He'd rather be killed for being honest about what he believes than lying about it and living with his dishonesty. He can't stand liars, or cheaters. He believes that wrong actions must be met with just and swift punishment. He can respect the need for trials in some cases, though he often just takes things into his own hands, seeing as he's rarely inside settlements. Despite his belief in honesty and justice, he rarely ever states his beliefs. He will usually keep to himself unless someone else asks. He tends to try to remain quiet about things, but once he reaches a certain point he will boldly speak. With his friends he is very open, he lets them know exactly how he feels, when he feels it. He doesn't have many friends yet, but he's hoping to make many that he can depend on. He's seen some of the people who return from pilgrimages to the outside world, and the people they meet are so very interesting. He has dreams that one day he'll be able to own his own smithing shop in a major city. Usually when he's close with someone he'll make them a gift of either a piece of armor, a weapon or something else that they ask for. He enjoys doing kind things like that for people, and being a good person in general.

Character History: Acier was raised in Tirren, the City of the Earth. Often times metal elementals were born in lines of Earth Elemental families. They are extrememely rare, and thus their element is highly prized. At the time of his birth, Acier was one of three Metal Elementals to be born. His mother was an Earth elemental, while his father was another Metal elemental. He was born nine years before the attack on Brisa, City of Air. Because of his age many things were kept from him. He never heard much talk of war, and in fact because of the closeness between Brisa and Tirren, Tirren had never considered an act of war. Then the Rebels came. There was an army of Ice elementals and Fire elementals, with a handful of Metal elementals.

It was the first time Acier had ever seen any other Metal elementals, and they picked up on him immediately. He was approached, though only nine, and asked how he felt about the attack. He answered honestly. He felt like it was wrong to attack the people of the Air, for they were peaceful and they were good trade partners. He said to them that the Rebels were wrong, no one was plotting, they were simply making a living. Because of his answer he was beaten. One man, a Metal elemental used his own skill against him, goading Acier into attacking him using his own gift. The man bent the metal tool that Acier had picked up, wrapped it around his chest and constricted, and as Acier choked on the ground he said brokenly, “Even if I die, I will know that you have done wrong.”

The last thing Acier remembers before he passed out was someone screaming, then a thump as something heavy landed on the ground. Later, when he came to, he was told that his mother had taken a large boulder and thrown it at the man, who hadn't been expecting an attack. It hit the man's skull and he fell to the ground, dead. With the death of one of their members the faction attacked, though Acier's mother dragged him to safety. Because Tirren was prepared they were able to chase the Rebel Faction out of their city... however they were headed in the direction of Brisa. There was nothing further that could be done to help them, they had to rebuild themselves.

Brisa was kept under the Rebel's wings for four years, and Tirren prepared for war each day of that long existence. They kept a closer eye on the workings of the Rebel Faction and even integrated spies into it's network. However, seven years after the Rebel's left Brisa, Tirren gained word of another attack, that would encompass almost all of the Elemental nations. They began a full scale war preparation. Acier was twenty at the time, and he was much more skilled than he had been as a child. He was hired on as a smithy apprentice, creating arms and armor for their fighters. In the end, the war would last many years, small skirmishes would occurr as the more common show of force won out instead of fighting. Now at the age of twenty seven, the war has begun it's pinnacle stage, the forces are fully prepared for a full scale war. However, Acier no longer wishes to fight. He longs for peace, and that is why he leaves his City, trying to leave behind the terror that his nation has become.

Weapons: Acier is an axe wielder, and a weapon enchanter, so to prove his proficiency at creating weapons he created his own. First he made his axe, named Shockwave. It's a simple one-handed axe, dark blue to black in color. The handle is made of hardened elven metal, and folded into it's super hard shape. (OOC:The axe looks like the axe on the far left http://wen-m.deviantart.com/art/one-han ... s-13360758.) Acier has enchanted it to have an Electrical charge. When he says a word in the Ancient Language it immediately unlocks the electrical charge and covers the axe in static, hence it's name Shockwave. There is a chain that comes down from the bottom of his axe and it attaches to a bracer on his arm, so that he can never lose it. When he isn't in battle the chain is detached and remains hanging on the end of the axe.
Acier also made his own war hatchet, which is similar in design to Shockwave. It doesn't have an enhantment or a chain. This hatchet sits in a leather holster that attaches to his thigh.

Likes: - Working with weapons and armor, peace, and creating things.

Dislikes: - War, strife, and injustice.

Weakness / Fear: - Acier has a crippling fear of choking. Ever since the attack on his home he's been afraid of anything that may choke him, drown him or other wise kill him through lack of oxygen. He often avoids large bodies of water.

Animal Companions: - None.

Character's Physical Description: Acier is around 6'3 and built quite sturdily. He's not stocky, but he isn't lacking in the muscle department. He has curly, short black hair and the most striking black eyes. He often wears a mix of tough leather and armor. He always wears metal bracers with leather shoulder and arm guards so that his movement isn't constricted, he also wears an chestplate that goes down to about his abs, then transitions into leather so that his core movement isn't affected. He wears dyed black leather breeches, with metal greaves over the knee and shin, segwaying into his tough leathe boots with metal inlays in the top and sides. His skin is very tan, to the point that he looks like he lived in the desert, even though he has been in the mountains most of his life.
He carries around a large knapsack that carries several smithing tools, food and water.

Dreams for the Future: - He dreams that one day he'll be able to return to his home and live in peace.

Reason for Dreams: - He hates the state of war that his home has become.

Alignment/side: - Good.
