Isalidi
10-08-08, 10:16 PM
Name: Shikamanota Isalidi
Age: 29
Race: Human
Hair color: Jet black
Eye color: Light green
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 217lb
Occupation: Military
Personality: A bit moody at times, and tends to be very rude and horrible to other people. When I first used him, I intended him to be a bit like meself, but he developed quite a bit, almost without my knowledge, and practically became a soulless monster. He has respect for authority (that he likes), and tends to be rebellious. Don't take him wrong, though... he can also be charitable to the needy and loyal to his friends. Just... cold.
Appearance: Rather regular features for his size. He wares glasses, and his clothing looks very official, probably picked up somewhere from him military days. It's all blue.
History: As a child of only 8, his village of Blanota was burned down and raided by a group of elven bandits. Upon regaining consciousness after the event, all the elves were gone, and he found the bodies of all his loved ones except for his best friend, Tariam Kinuchi. He finds it more than likely that she herself is dead, and has almost forgotten about her. He sort of made it on his own for years after that. He started by running, but eventually returned to his hometown, where he made an interesting discovery. Under his house, there was a large, apparently ancient and untouched for many years basement. In this room was nothing but scroll upon scroll. The tales of hundreds, if not thousands of generation of Isalidi. In these records was included such famous names as Crest, Taloleta Higoka, Shekea, Alastor, Westen, and so many others... thousands of hours of reading material, containing stories and instruction. However, after many years of reading and even learning the Black Arts as in the scrolls of Crest and Alastor, he discovered something... Only half of the Taloleta scroll survived... but it was obviously taken, from the look of the rip. It then became his sole mission in life to find this half of scroll... and survive, as he promised his friend Tariam before going unconscious. After this event, he joined the military, hoping that the travel involved would help him find his scroll... and if he was lucky, get back at the bandit elves.
Skills: Just about anything involving needle combat. He's also a good swordfighter. Besides these, however, he's proficient in an ancient Isalidi magick called the Black Art. Essentially, this gives him power over time (if not for very long), the possibility for translucency (not to be confused for invisibility. He can still be noticed by someone looking hard), which to be noted, he cannot use again for 3 hours. and of course, more capabilities with needles.
These are:
- He can direct them was already in the air, when being as projectiles. (Which is almost always)
- He can control how sharp or dull they are.
- He can reproduce up to 15x, but the new needles only last for ten minutes, and he has to wait about 3 hours (same as translucency) to use this maneuver again. When he's at his peak in power (Such as when he's angry, scared or otherwise directed), he'd occasionally be able to go up too 30x, but upon returning to normal, he'd become too weak to do anything for about 5 minutes, and too weak to perform any magick for about 3 hours
His above average skill is needle use, his average skill is swordsmanship.
Equipment: He makes sure that he always has a nearly full matchbox on his person, even when in the city. He also always carries a sword at his side (Somewhere in shape between Katana and longsword), and has a case of needles (which he can easily reproduce using the Black Arts) as well.
Familiars: None to speak of, but he has a goblin friend named Anghjukin that he can call up, and usually arrives to the scene of calling within a few days.
There were some problems with my old profile. First of all, I was not specific enough in my previous update (the above) in times between moves. Second of all, there was, as the title says, a detail of medium-high importance that I kind of forgot to mention.
In regards to time, when I wrote it, I was referring to RL hours, though now I have realized that it would be better to make this refer to Game-time (or, once every seven days RL. Which ever is longer.)
Otherly, my character speaks Goblin along with Tradespeak, but, well, I guess I kind of didn't think of it when I was writing my profile. I would like permission to have this little talent added in.
Both of these were, of course, bad things not to mention, and, naturally, when the results of my first and most RP came in, I was formally accused of godmodding. I'm trying to avoid that, so, as part of trying to avoid that, I am reposting this profile.
My thanks.
Quoted from Witchblade, 'cause I'm too lazy to rewrite it myself.
As of right now, Shika cannot stop time, this is just too power a move. I mean, he could stop time int he middle of a battle and stab a level 15 character in the heart, killing him instantly. He can slow down time in a radius of 10 feet from him for roughly 20 seconds, but once again, can not make things go backwards. You can keep the time jumping on a few conditions, he can only jump five minutes ahead, no point a, b and c stuff. Just point a to point b and it only occurs in the exact place he is currently standing. After roughly a minute or so of looking around, he returned to the exact moment before he time jumped. I assume Shika will be using a skill like this to see a possible 'future' outcome.

Needle work: A skill that allows Isalidi to manipulate needles. He can control up to 7 needles at a time while they are in the air, projecting them in almost any direction he wishes. If he tries to control more than 7, there's a chance he will lose his concentration and the needles will fall to the ground. He can also control the sharpness of the needles, making them up to 1.5x as sharp as a normal needle. Using needles in battle means that he often loses them, so Isalidi can replicate or reproduce them. He can reproduce up to 15 needles, however they only last for about 10 minutes. In times when he is angry or scared, he may produce up to fifty, but once the emotions pass he becomes weakened and cannot do very much for 5 minutes and is too weak to perform magic for up to 3 hours.
