Name: Kerthan
Apparent Age: 34
Actual Age: 1056
Race Void Elf
Hair color: Blood Red
Eye Color: Completely black; no pupils
Height: 5" 11'
Weight: 147 lbs.
Occupation Mechanic-Warrior
Personality: Withdrawn; generally keeps to himself, but can be vicious when angered.
Appearance Shady, usually avoided on the premise that he looks like a criminal or mercenary.
History: Kerthan is a Void Elf, an elf raised from the dead and given supernatural powers by Death himself for the purpose of harvesting souls from the earth. Though he has no memory of his previous life, in the more than 10 1/2 centuries since he was sent to the earth he has learned many skills such as his ability to send a rush of blood to his extremities, granting him strength even greater than that given to him by Death. (see Abilities: Skills)
He has wandered the earth, killing most of his acquaintances in order to prevent him from feeling too many emotions. He fears these would weaken his ability to kill, and Death is not kind to those who lose their edge.
Abilities:
Racial:
Improved Strength: Death has given Kerthan a level of strength unknown to regular humans. He can lift weights of up to 70 pounds, but tires quickly as he approaches this limit, and at his maximum can barely sustain the weight long enough to hurl it out of his way. He can also send a weight of 25 pounds flying for up to 5 yards if he slams into it, more with a fair amount of momentum. His punches can crack small pieces of wood, and his kicks have been known to snap 1/2" wooden barriers in half.
Agility: Kerthan can move at speeds of 15-25 mph, jump up to three feet horizontally and over 2 1/2 vertically, and attack quite fast. He can also maneuver at high speeds to avoid obstacles.
Skills
Tinkering: Kerthan can build machines with almost anything available to him. However, most of the machines he builds are not very powerful, so he must rely on his own abilities for most tasks.
Rush: With this ability, Kerthan suddenly increases the flow of blood to certain extremities, allowing him to perform feats beyond his natural abilities as a Void Elf.
Martial Arts: Kerthan is skilled at martial arts, being able to fight moderately well when weaponless, as well as being fast-thinking in order to think of attacks to react to most situations.
Spells
Shadowflame: Summons a magical flame that radiates cold instead of heat and black light instead of visible light. When this flame touches an enemy it chills them heavily rather than burning them.
Equipment:
Weapons:
Bow of Kylarth: Kerthan discovered this in the ruins of an ancient city called Kylarth, and has since christened it the Bow of Kylarth. In addition, the bow can shapeshift into a whip when necessary. He, however, is not skilled with the bow as of yet, and has a hard time hitting his target. He usually only uses it in whip form.
Shadow Gauntlets: These are listed in both the Weapon and Armor categories due to the fact that besides being made of pure iron, their main feature is that they are covered in barbed spikes.
Armor:

Thanks for the advice! By the way, I haven't added 'marksmanship' because, as I forgot to mention this in the last post, he isn't very good with the bow. I have edited to show this.
