Name: - Xelin

Age:- 152 (or dragon teens)

Gender: - male

Skills:
Shadow Fire: Xelin has the ability to breath a pitch black fire. But instead of black being just it's color, it shows it's temperature as well. Most people believe that white fire is the hottest fire there is, but it isn't. At a point, fire will turn black. At this point, what ever touches it will almost instantly turn to ash. He doesn't like to use this fire as it take quiet a bit of energy to make the fire that hot, and it leaves his mouth and throat raw. His eyes will turn black when he is preparing to use this ability.

Shadow Form: Xelin also has the ability to use shadow to hide. To do this, his body actually becomes part of the shadow, and all traces of him disappear that weren't there already (like foot prints would remain while his scent would fade.) This ability take practically no power, and he can stay in a shadow for months on end without needing to come out except to eat. Although it is easier to go into an already made shadow, he can become a shadow himself to hide, but he will keep a dragon-ish shape, and doing this takes more energy; he can maintain it for a day at most.

Shadow-Port: An addition to Shadow Form, Xelin can use shadows to get around. When he uses shadow form, if he wants he can move to a different shadow, even if they are not connected. The farther away the shadows, the more difficult it is for him to get to. His max is any shadow within one league of his current position. He can only use this if he is in an already made shadow, not a shadow himself.

Shadow Wave: Xelin has small hole in his claws and tail blade, threw which he can channel both his normal fire, and his Shadow Fire. He can concentrate the fire and keep it in place on his talons or tail blade until the next time he swing, releasing it as a wave, or he can keep the fire there and do more damage if his attack connects.

Shroud: The last ability Xelin has is probably his most useful, which is the ability to shroud his mind in shadow. This isn't like most mental blockades, as it literally makes it seem as if his mind is no longer there. When one tries to pry into his mind while he is Shrouding it, their consciousness will pass threw it as if it weren't even there. doing this takes much concentration on Xelin's part and if the magic user is well acquainted with breaking minds, they will be able to see threw the Shroud more easy than someone who isn't, but it will still take great concentration on the invading party's part.

Race: - Dragon

Hair: - 4 black horns that come out of the back of his head, 2 on each side. the top two are shorter than the bottom two.

Eyes: - golden, fringed and laced with red. Depending on how you look, you may see more gold or more red. They also tend to show his mood; the angrier he is, the more red that shows.

Home Village: - a rock on an unnamed island.

Parents: - Estia (mother) Braeil (father, both light dragons)

Siblings: - none

Character Personality: Xelin is nice enough, even to people he doesn't know. He prefers to be alone with nothing but his thoughts for company, but id he must be with others, he likes smaller groups. Anything over 5 others and he starts getting irritable and uncomfortable. He is generally pretty mellow and easy going, and able to shrug things like insults, challenges, and the like off like they are nothing. One of the things that gets under his scales though, is being pestered. If someone is constantly talking, and talking, and talking to him, he tends to get cranky. If the thing to do to get him full blow enraged, is hurt him. Not someone he cares for like most. He figures they can take care of themselves, unless it is obvious they can't. The moment you attack him without reason, he stops holding back. Other than this, he tends to treat things as if they are a game, or no big deal, which tends to irritate others because he will shrug off things that seem important to them, but not so much to him. In a sense, he is a little selfish. To him, friends are nice, but not necessary to survive. He can make friends just as easily as he can abandon them. Although he would rather not, since being alone can get boring at times. Also, unlike other dragons, he prefers being on the ground instead of in the sky. His reasoning behind this is that there are no shadows in the air. He likes to stay in dark caves, although he doesn't care where he sleeps at as long as it is quiet. Another thing that he differs with people on his the belief that Galbatorix is evil. The Emperor has done nothing to directly harm Xelin, and so he doesn't see him as evil. Crazy, yes. Spent too much time on the throne, yes. But evil, not quiet.

Character History: Xelin was born to two pure-breed Dragons of Light. as such, when he was seen to be of the shadows, his parents cast him away as a freak. They took him from their island to Alageasia and left him there to his doom, or what they thought was his doom. Even at a young age, too young for most dragons, he learned how to hunt and kill to survive. While he was traveling these lands, he stumbled into Du Weldenvarden and the Elves. They taught him many things, including much of the Ancient Language, although he can't use it. He has had almost no encounters with other dragons, other than seeing them flying in the distance. It's not that he is scared of them, but he sees no reason to make friends, since he had been alone nearly since birth it was all he knew. After he left the elves, he continued around the lands, not really caring where he went or who he ran into. He was sympathetic to no one. On several occasions he was asked to join either the Empire or the Varden, and on all occasions he refused. Thus making enemies of both, even though he doesn't view either side as enemies. He has been every were in Alagesia, never settling down in one spot for too long. For the longest time he didn't know about his powers, and he discovered them in a strange way. One day, he was simply sitting in his cave, his cave was damp and it was spring so pollen was every where, and he sneezed. When he did, he sent a blast of black hot flame out and dried the entire cave. He discovered his shadow abilties by accident as well. He was walking in the woods, hunting, and he stepped into a shadow. He had been thinking about hiding and sneaking up on the deer he was stalking, and he zipped into the shadow and then back out of a shadow near the deer. He was so confused the deer got away. He continued to practice these skills until they were near perfect, and still does practice.
