Rien.1234 · April 10th, 2011, 5:53 am

Name: - Rien

Age:- Ancient (Years mean nothing to him but he was around when the Ancient language was tied to magic)

Gender: - Male

Race: - Shade

Skills: Magic~ He has yet to meet a foe who can match him in the art of magic. He is not nearly as tied down to the ancient language for he was around when the two were bound together and he knows the nature of the bond. His power is constantly growing for in his younger days he crafted a magic that would bind that live around him to him on a minuscule level. This magic draws energy from all life around him in amounts that will not harm the living thing and is not noticeable. He has become a master at all forms of magic and can use any of them at will.
Even with what seemed like endless time to gain strength and develop his power. He is still not perfect. His power is great and equals that of a few Eldunari combined. Giving him the ability to cast multiple large spells or keep up in a battle of strength for a while.
The regeneration of his power is also limmited to what is around him. He regains his strength quick if he is in an area with alot of life opposed to an area with little life. It normally only takes him around 10 minutes to regenerate on average.

He also created a magic that can change energy from reaction in the world like fire into usable energy. Rien must know everything about the substance he is trying to convert into energy.
One example would be fire from a dragon. Each dragon has a different type of fire and the heat and intensity differ also. So Rien much know how powerful the blast of dragon fire is, if the dragon does anything special to the fire that makes it different, and what temperature the fire is at(this is the easiest one for him to adjust to in this case.)
Another example~ Rien is going to convert the energy in the tides to useable energy. He must know the strength of tide and if there is anything in the area that impedes the flow of the tides(hardest one to adjust to in this case).
This skill is very useful but hard to apply in battle.

Weapons~ He is skilled with weapons of most kinds but does not care to use them and often wont. But he does like the elegance of master knife fighting and has taken to using it when magic fails him.

Hair: -Brown and long

Eyes: -A extremely dark blue, almost considered black.

Home Village: -Unknown

Parents: -Unknown

Character Personality: He is well spoken and often states his opinion regardless of others. He has no love for anything except Esther, who he adores. He may not have any love for anything except Esther but his hate for the world that burned hot when he first became a shade has lessened greatly. In the years of his travels he has come to hate it when the weak pray on the weak. It annoys him when the weak hunt the weak for his belief is that the weak should hunt nothing but food and that fighting should be left to the strong. He is also extremely protective of Esther who in a way he considers his daughter. He would kill anything that tried to harm her and has. Sense he began traveling with Esther his rang of emotion has expanded and he can actually be found smiling with his adopted daughter. She so far is the only person who can bring out a true smile from him though. He is swift to judge those who would go against what Esther believes and will punish accordingly. In a way you can say that she is his life now.
He is also short tempered when he is not in a city. He likes organization especially in cities. All of his years of ruling them has made him actually made him admire a system of government that is fair and just. Not because it is right though, but because it runs the smoothest and advances the quickest.

Character History: Rien was had just became a shade shortly before the disaster fell upon the world that brought the Grey Folk to binding their language to the nature of magic. It infuriated Rien at the time but as time passed he found it easy to deal with. As time passed and the world began to grow Rien found that as a shade he was strong but there were stronger out in the world. So he began to craft ways to make himself stronger. The first way he did was by summoning other spirits and trapping them inside the same body with him. He forced and bent countless spirits to his will and eventually till the spirits became a part of his own. It was an effective and quick way to gain strength but with every spirit he added to himself the more he changed away from who he actually was. There was one thing that never changed though and that was the anger and hate for the world. Thousands of years passed by and in that time he would conquer kingdoms and run the land as he saw fit for his own amusement. Countless died all over the world. When someone who was able to match his ability in magic came along, he would lock himself away in dark corners of the world to become stronger and more adept in magic. He repeated this cycle countless times. As time passed by his anger began to lessen but it always remained and would be sparked by the smallest of things.
One such event happened in a small village east of Hedarth on the Edda River. Rien had been traveling for weeks and stopped at the small village in hope of find some sort of civilization. He found it and was quiet surprised that the village had an adept healer as well as a very well organized government, even though it was small. He stayed with the mayor of the small village for a few weeks before he grew tired of the smallness of the village. He was leaving the village when he spotted a small girl tied to a stake and who looked to be beaten. The girl looked up at him with big blue eyes pleading to be saved. She looked as if she had been beaten for days. He was never sure why he did so be he kneeled next to her, “Why are you like this?” He asked. But she did not answer.
“She does not talk. Her family is full of demons and we are using her as an example to drive the rest away.” A man said who had approached from behind. “But between the two of us. Some of us just made up that so we can ‘Use’ her for our own pleasure.”
At first the man’s statement meant nothing to Rien. But he did pity the young girl so he placed his hand on her head and said, “Endure.” In the ancient language. It was meant to be nothing more than a small blessing for the child and sense he was in a pleasant mood, not happy but a pleasant mood for him was just his anger deeply tempered, from staying in a reasonable place he put some of his strength into it. The girls eyes widened and she grabbed his hand with one hand and placed her other hand on his cheek. Rien threw up his mental barrier as a reaction but they were brushed aside as if they were nothing. He felt the little girl sort through his enormous mind, memories and all. He saw tears in the girls eyes, fear, but more than that the girl pitied him. Rien couldn’t move as the little girl sorted through every inch of his consciousness. She tampered and changed many things and finally withdrew from his mind. He sat there on his knees eyes wide. Nothing like this had ever happened to him before. He felt odd emotions he did not even remember ever having rolled throughout his mind. He felt sad for the girl, but mad at the same time, and curious about what just happened.
Before he knew it the man had moved around him and was kicking the girl. “This is not how you treat people you witch!” He yelled as he continued to abuse the little girl. The site infuriated Rien beyond what he could imagine.
He rose to his feet and grabbed the man by his neck. “Die scum.” He whispered and without invoking the ancient language made the man’s internal organ liquefy. In that instant what he thought of the town changed. “This place is filthy, I shall cleanse it.” He said with anger rolling through his body. “Cease to exist!” He shouted in the common language. One by one the villagers began to disappear into dust and break down even further into the elements that are contained within their body. The magic that he had intended to use was one that he had learned by studying the darker magic’s that broke down flesh into elements. He turned back to the girl and broke the bond that held her in place. The girl looked at him with fear but at the same time with yearning. “Tell me your name.” He said in a stern voice.
The girl reached a hand out and Rien took it to see a memory of the girls. A woman standing there calling “Esther!”. The girl released his hand and her gaze did not waiver. “I am Rien.” He then bent over and picked up the girl.
From that moment they were inseparable. Rien delighted in talking to Esther even though he knew that she had changed something inside of him, he cared not. He felt happiness as he traveled with Esther. He felt the need to protect her and watch her grow. He taught her everything he could and learned as much as he could about her. There was nothing she didn’t know about him as the years passed. As he spent more time with her his anger tempered and happiness began to fill his life. They did not travel to cities though for Esther feared them as the unknown.
Six years after find Esther, she approached Rien and expressed the desire to visit the cities of the world and with enthusiasm Rien traveled with her to the land of Alagaesia in hope of finding great cities that he could share with her.
