Name: "Kid"
Age: 11
Race: Darkling
Hair color: black
Eye color: dark red
Height: 3'9
Weight: 80lbs
Occupation: none at the moment

Personality: Being locked away for the first 10 years of his childhood has made him very curious about the outside world. He may come off as being a bit rude but only because he was never taught how to talk to other people. He doesn't have a keen grip on whats right and wrong but means well most of the time. His survival instincts are more animal then human.

Appearence: He wears dirty clothing and his hair is in a constant mess. He has bags under his eye's from lack of sleep.

History: A Darkling is born from the darkness in all living beings hearts. Every thousand years the darkness comes together at a single point. It manifests and combines with a living soul of a infant that had just been given birth. Darklings are said to bring death in there wake once they find a host, the host is haunted by the evils of one thousand years worth of sin. If the host does not kill themselves over the burden, then overtime it eats away at them and in the end it takes there body for its own. Darklings look much similar to humans with two exeptions. One, they have dark red eye's and two, they have a birthmark on the back of there neck of a black butterfly.

Kid was the chosen one for the task of accepting this burden, whether he wanted to or not. He was born from the unison of a wealthy king and his wife. The two were happy until they gave birth to there son. The king quickly recognized the red eye's and the butterfly birthmark, he pulled his son out of his mothers grip and refused to name the boy, He knew the boys fate would led him to kill himself or everyone around him. Although, he could never kill his only son, instead, he took the boy to his deepest dungeon and locked him away where he was feed and watched over.

Six years passed as he sat alone in the darkness. He wasn't able to speak and the voices that rung through his head at night prevented him from ever sleeping. One night however, his cage was opened and an old hand reached out for him. The old man was the prison keeper, Urie, he was ordered by the king to never speak to his son. However, he could no longer see the boy in such pain. He spoke to the boy but to no avail. He had never learned to speak or communicate with other people.

Over time, Urie let him out to walk around the prison with him and taught him to speak a little. Urie would always address him as "Kid" so he adopted the name as his own. He would also tell him of the outside world and the many wonders it held. Kid had made a connection with the old man, something that a Darkling had never done before. A Darkling is burdened with isolation at birth but somehow he had made an exception. His friendship with Urie would last for four years.

One night the castle was raided by one of the neighboring kingdoms and a battle had broke out. Urie ran down into the dungeon to save Kid but was slain right after opening his cage. Kid had never experienced death before and wasn't sure what was happening. He couldn't get a response from him, and soon his temper took over. His feral power erupted and by morning every enemy soldier had been slain.

Thinking that Urie would wake up, he waited until the afternoon before he realized that Urie along with all the soldiers that he killed were not going to wake up. He started moving west without a destination to go. He wanted to see the wonderful world that Urie had told him all about.

Equipment: One steel broadsword that he found on the battle field. Its double edged and is 4'4 ((longer then he is, rofl!))

Ability: Swordsmanship is above average
Speed is average
and magic is below average

Skills: Darkling Blood- Darklings are much more powerful then regular humans in that they can lift much heavier objects. Kid is still a child and this skill hasn't taken full affect but it gives him enough power to wield his sword. ((power is slightly higher then a normal human))
Dark Fire- hurls an orb of black fire at the enemy. The orb is slightly larger then a fist. damage is minimal but the flash can blind an enemy for five seconds.
Darkling Eye's- Can see in the dark up to two yards away. Happens naturally in dark areas.

Familars: The voices that echo in his head at night. He can't interprete what the voices are saying yet.

((I may have over powered him a bit in his skills. If it is then I'd rather lose dark fire or darkling eye's. This is one of my characters that was basically born from his abilities and his weapon. I started with that when I made this character so I'd prefer not to lose his Darkling blood skill but if its a problem then maybe I can work something out))

Well, as a kid he's pbviously not going to be very strong. So, since his blood gives him extra strength let's just say he has slightly above average human strength right now. Which would give him the ability to pick up that sword for such a little guy. And as he levels, you can make him stronger.

yeah, I was having a hard time wording it. I just needed a skill that would allow him to use his sword since it was much heavier then what most children can lift. Other then that am I good to go?
