-Skills-

Being an elf his breed is common with speed and flexibility. Being a high elf, Elrion is filled with a knowledge that most don’t know. His main combat is that of his speech. His uncanny ability to bring lyrics alive as judged him as a prophet of their language. As he sings, the lyrics he has choosen will come to life and act how they are read.

-Biography-

At a young age, Elrion lived a normal life until six. Filled with a lively environment, their class was to do a chorus to their parents for graduation of the academy. As they sang, abnormal things would happen. Eventually a few students were transformed into animals or small creatures they spoke of.

Unknowing of this power, Elrion would find himself alone singing to himself and realize that what he began to speak of would happen. Scared of his power, he secluded himself and spoke no longer for a few years. After his father died with the war against Reiher, his mother brung the best of him out and encouraged him to use it for the best. After that he was choosen as a member of the Haven council to foresee the better of their tribe.

[Dr. Freeman]

Name: Translation would be Daniel, if we could ever have a translation from his language to our own.
Age: Well, considering Daniel's species have a life span that exceeds a normal human life span more than ten times, Daniel is relatively young at 200.
Species: Homo-Mentis
Appearance: Get back to you on this, it will be something else than described here for the battle anyway.
Personality: A teacher. He dislikes battling, really, and would rather teach than go about letting everyone around him ignorant of the lessons he has learned. He sees himself as a mere spec of everyone, and is not anything more than the person next to him. He likes to help people, but at times, realize you must fight for what one believes in. This doesn't happen very often, though.

To a normal human being, Daniel would be considered a super genius but is in fact only of average intelligence for his species.
Abilities: Daniel has a large range of 'abilities', although to him they are no more useless or important to him than his right leg. His abilities are a part of naturally occurring evolution of his species. Needless to say, specific organs are there to handle certain traits. Removing said organs would be like removing the heart or the liver from the human body, sometimes fatal.

List of abilities:

Light Manipulation
Sound/Vibration Manipulation

Extreme Bacteria growth and manipulation – An organ withing Daniel's body is designed for the growth of bacteria and the ability to control and manipulate said bacteria at will. The DNA composition can consist of any possible choices, as there are chemical agents and bacteria themselves that are designed to trap other bacteria and copy their DNA, then use it for later purposes. This is also used as a part of Daniel's immune system, as his natural one is very weak.

Daniel's species also has the odd ability to control spiritual energy, through the different points in a person's body, or through just directly manipulating the energy at will (lol naruto, watching to much of that shit). He is not able to physically harm someone from doing this, but can make them pass out, as the energy flow throughout their body can become increasingly unbalanced, and lead to the passing out of the subject. Difficult, if not impossible, to do at a distance, Daniel can only actually do this if physically fighting an opponent, which rarely happens. Though, he can, in fact, manipulate the energy within the brain, but this cannot harm a person physically, in any sense.

Daniel also has an extensive knowledge on the mind of his own species and the physiology of his own species, and coincidentally, would allow him to know the mentalities and physical body of say, a human.

History: Daniel was drafted as a child ( 20 years of age) to a program made to handle with species that got out of control throughout their universe. Like the secret military programs on Earth, they were done very cunningly, conveniently making it seem like the child had died, or was kidnapped by another person, etc. The government was never held responsible for the missing children, though, of course, many had their suspicions.

Shit happened, I'm still thinking of this. Sorry COF, might have to wait for most of this. Just use this and his personality to figure stuff out and use that. Sorry dude. Ask me questions on the species at anytime.

ill judge if needed. i need to pay more attention to this section, and get back into rp fights.

[Lunar Rain]

Have a setting you'd prefer Time?

Alright FF. Maybe me and you can have a battle after this.

[Dr. Freeman]

No, it doesn't matter to me. Though, you may find the way I'll take this battle odd.

[Lunar Rain]

What do you mean by that?

Setting is in the middle of the woods. A large city had been built amongst the tree tops. As advanced as a city could get. It is abandoned, only alive with the critters of the woods.

[Dr. Freeman]

I'll take opening.


"So, as I walked here and there, fiddling my thumbs with amazing care, I came upon critters playing with their hair; the birds, the bees, some rabbits to, but none walked past without some form of a 'how do you do'. A feeling of hopelessness as I walked past, the abandoned city of memory's past. Abandon buildings with feelings galore, the people never left them, although I'm unsure, whether these people really cared for their lives, took a second thought, and focused their eyes. For if they did, wouldn't they see, the people could never truly be. Their building stood tall, their thoughts stayed fresh, but never could the engineers see, that these cities were doomed to never see their creators lives fully be. The people moved on, but the city just stayed, wondering if there people would come back and play. But alas the people of memory's past left their beauty behind, to find a new past.

"So I walked and walked, and what do I see? A couple of strangers, and oh, dear me. They were sitting around, playing a game. A game, you ask, oh of course a game. Because people would never live without playing a game, how silly i thought, how silly they play. A card here, a chip there, oh my, an old man. Everyone left except, dear me, the old man stayed, never lifting his cards that he oh so wanted to play. But the people had left, and he had stayed, stayed and never dared abandon his game. Unlike the people of whom they lived, but much like their city, who stayed and stayed. He sat and he pondered why he played, for he could've leaved if had just learned to play, correctly that is, for, wouldn't you say, winning the game is the way to be, and leave like the rest, and not follow the city.


Old man is my character. Sorry if it's odd, and it doesn't flow. I tried.

[Lunar Rain]

There was an odd feeling in these woods. Elrion had been here before, and it seemed uneasy, like something was telling him to be a bit on the cautious side. Elrion glanced up and witnessed a masterpiece in abandonment now. The city of Reiher. This had been a war zone long ago. The very place his father died. Maybe that was the weird essence that bothered him. His father’s spirit still alive in these woods. It was a bit creepy.

A rope hung loosely to the ground. The only way to pass to the cities doors unless you were of their deceased breed. Elrion climbed, thrusting his body upward with every reach of the rope. After the journey, his eyes steadied on the buildings. They were glamorous, still shining their elven lights, though the city bore no life. He took himself to a nearby house, one filled with white lights. It was out of curiosity that took him here. The lights had not gone off in four years. The magic never surprised him.

Elrion found the houses almost all the same, exceptions with the decorations and furniture. The council house was enormous. Intimidating in a way. It held many secrets and the history of their people. Chatter rang through his ears. Elrion turned his head quickly to find these voices. No one was to be seen, but it continued. The spirits were still heard and alive in their environment. He felt the joy and laughter of the children. He even felt the small reminiscences of war. This could be seen though. Blood stained some parts of the walls and broken weapons were rested on the ground in scattered positions.

Finally Elrion walked into a house towards the very big of the city. Energy was felt here. A sign of life, different from that of an animal. The birds began to sing to each other as Elrion got closer. He only smiled and entered the house. An old man sat, playing with a few cards. This was awkward as he expected no presence. Elrion only tilted his head and looked with a distinct feature. It was but an old man.

“And what are you doing here?”

[Dr. Freeman]

"Why am I here? Well, I don't know. I was playing cards a few minutes ago. Blackjack, I think the name of the game was. I was supposed to get 21, which was blackjack, to win the game. Usually the Ace is the greatest card to get. But uh, I got two, and I lost. Not sure why."

He looked up at the young man that was standing in the door, and motioned him over.

"Play another game with me, won't you? Which would you like to play. I know blackjack and rummy. Rummy I know well, blackjack, not so much. I have nothing to bet, you see. So it might not be the funnest game."

He stared at his two cards. The ace of hearts, and the ace of spades. 22, 2 and 12. None of them were very good of a hand, but yet they were the best kind of cards in the deck. Maybe to many is sometimes too much. He'd rather have had a king of hearts, or even a 10. That wold work.

"So, what's your name boy?"

[Lunar Rain]

The old man seemed lost or out of it. Not harmless in any way. Offering a card game to Elrion he began to ask his name. The elf had nothing else to do and would spend his time figuring out who this enigma was. He sat on the other side of the table and grabbed all the cards. He began to shuffle and bridge the cards several times over.

“My name is Elrion. So are you a resident here or what? I thought the war wiped out everyone in this city.”

Elrion dealt the cards with a fluent motion. Two cards were dealt to each player, signaling that they were to play blackjack. He set the deck down in the middle of them both and glanced at his two cards. One was a ten of hearts and the other a three of spades. What a horrible way to start off. Of course he would have to make a hit and get another card, but there was slightly less than half a chance that he would go over. But it was just for fun.

“Need me to hit you?”

[Dr. Freeman]

"No, no. I'm not sure why I'm here. I kinda just came.

"Hit me? Now why would you hit me? We're just playing cards. Speaking of which, I seem to have gotten the same hand again. These aces are rather annoying, one after another. Should I still call for another card, even though these are the best kind?"

He looked down at his cards. The exact same hand. Ace of hearts, and the Ace of spades.

"This game is such a bother. Are you going to give yoruself another card? If you do, I will too."

[Lunar Rain]

“I didn’t mean it in that way. But that is a term referring to the game. It means that you want another card. And yes I will be taking my chances with one.”

Elrion picked up a card and saw that it was a six of clubs. His hand consisted of eighteen. A solid hand but had room to improve. There wasn’t any way he would go farther. He had already told his hand and by his luck he would end up winning. Two aces were even better since there were so many options.

“Since I picked up one, here you go.”

Elrion awaited his response to stop and reveal their hands. In his head, he felt that this situation was awkward. An old man who had no idea of how he got there and he had a love for cards. Random but he stuck with it for the time.

[Dr. Freeman]

"A third ace. What a bother. Luck seems to have a sense of humor, doesn't it?"

The old man's style was extremely genuine, and he walked forward into another room, leaving his cards at the table. A whistle was hard in the other room, a rather loud whistle, and the old man came back in with a tea pot and two cups. He put the tea down on the table and poured the young man in front of him a cup.

"So, why have you come here? You seemed rather eager to find something. Did you want something from here?"

The old man's tea filled his cup without a sound, and he lifted the cup up to his lips and slowly drank it, putting it down with closed eyes and a relaxed smile on his face. He truly was at peace.

"My name is Daniel, by the way. I didn't mean to be rude."

[Lunar Rain]

OOC: I have no idea how this will turn into a battle haha.

“I came to find answers. To find out what happened to this city. After the war, the breed just vanished. My father vanished as well. So I came here to find what I seek, and so far, nothing.”

Elrion took the cup of tea and sipped on it, careful not to burn his lips. The beverage relaxed him in a way he hadn’t felt in a while. His eyes slightly closed as he just thought about everything that had happened to him. As he become lost, the sound of the man drinking woke him.

“Mind taking a walk with me?”

Elrion got up bringing the tea with him. He stood next to the doorway awaiting the man’s presence.

[Dr. Freeman]

OOC: We'll figure something out. Want to make this legit, so the experience goes in our character's history?

"Take a walk? Well, I don't know. I'm not entirely sure if I would like to take a walk. Well, unless, you'd like to play a game."

The tea had refilled itself, without using the tea pot to fill it back up. The old man took another sip before letting out a joyful breath. The hot liquid felt amazing going down his throat. It warmed every part of his body, down down down.

"Games are very fun, you know. Though, playing blindly is also rather fun. Not being able to trust your senses. Not being able to confirm anything that may be around you, and you must trust only in your logic. Because even your memories may be tainted. For, how do you know what is real, and what is not?"

Again the cup filled itself, this time twice in a row, and the tea started to pour out of the cup, with no end. The man just took another sip, and let out another joyous breath. He did not seem to have any clue as to the tea pouring from his cup, or the tea pot... or the walls... or coming up from the floor.. or the dripping form the ceiling. He just sat peacefully in the middle of the room, carefully sipping his tea.
