Xen
12-15-07, 06:55 PM
Name: Xen Dasen
Race: Ice Elemental
Age: Young
Sex: Male
Height: 6’
Weight: 140 lbs
Hair Color: Black
Eyes: Blue
Description
Xen has very dark blue eyes without any white, but still with black pupils. He has short black hair, strong facial features, and is of athletic built tending towards slimness. Surprisingly, he is lightly tanned by contrast to the typically pale ice elementals. He doesn’t have any particularly distinguishing features or clothing, other than his eyes. His age is difficult to determine in that he has existed timelessly, but has only recently assumed a physical form. In comparison to humans, he would look early twenties.
Xen has morals to some degree, in that he has values. He is not really evil nor is he good, and not because he is apathetic. He values freedom, nature, magic, and weather. Gold is of value and can be used as persuasion, though a reasonable argument or charismatic person could enlist his aid easily.
History
Xen hails originally from the northern tips of Berevar, but that was before he was given form. As an ice elemental he existed to maintain the cold weather, the never-melting ice that covers Berevar for miles, and existed without awareness. But as they prove consistently, humans cannot leave things well enough alone. Only a few years previously, a wizard by the name of Dasen foolishly attempted to summon the element of ice itself. Pulled into physical space but lacking a vessel, the element entered Dasen himself. The mage was destroyed and in his form Xen Dasen was “born”.
Strengths
Ice Affinity: Xen is capable of creating ice from the moisture in the air in small amounts but given a few seconds he is capable of forming objects as large as a sword. The ice will appear foggy white if it is normal ice or dark blue if it is as strong as iron. Any ice in contact with his body will not melt unless exposed to extreme heat, such as fire. The creation of ice or the strengthening of ice requires some focus, enough that he must stop to do it but not enough he loses self awareness. Strangely, he cannot convert ice back into water. This becomes more difficult to do the farther from his body the ice is, and cannot be done beyond five from him.
Elemental Affinity: Xen is capable of sensing the presence of elements other than ice but had no control over them.
Immortal: Xen is essentially immortal in that he will not die with age and does not ever stop living. He can be disabled for days by fatal wounds or hours by serious wounds, and he must consume food and water to exist normally. Without food or water he will be greatly weakened. He is also immune to natural cold and will never freeze to death.
Archery: Xen is average in skill with his bow and has considerable difficulty hitting moving targets or targets approaching his maximum range. He is sufficiently capable to use in battle and for hunting.
Knife Fighting: Xen has only basic skill in fighting with a knife. He would not attempt a knife fight against any armed opponent.
Weaknesses
Fire: Fire is Xen’s greatest weakness and will hurt him severely if used as a weapon. A severe burning can incapacitate him for weeks, possibly longer. As well, very hot locations cause his powers to weaken.
Ice Magicians: Mages that are highly capable of magic involving ice may be able to manipulate and control him to a limited degree though it depends on the nature of their magic as well as their strength.
Inventory
Xen has yew bow five feet in length and with significant draw. Not something a professional archer would use but better than something a hunter would use. He also has clothing and is equipped for traveling.
