Talen Shadowalker
Name: Talen Shadowalker
Age: 20 (Apparent 13)
Race: Human
Hair: Short Black
Eye Colour: Blue
Height: 150cm
Weight: 60kg
Occupation: Shadow Puppet Master
Personality:
Talen is the sort of person to weigh up his decisions on their consequences rather than merits. His neutral attitude has formed thanks to a number of near-death situations.
Appearance:
In (http://www.althanas.com/world/showthread.php?t=20321) a startling change, Talen has been changed into the form of a 13yo boy. Given his small size, old faded cloths and unkempt appearance, Talen looks like a street kid. He is an alright looking kid all things considered, with pale skin and short black hair.
History:

Skills/Abilities
Weapon Skills
Swordsmanship: Above Average
Talen is pretty good with a sword. He utilises his own style of combat in which he will use his blades and often their sheaths one handed. If he is pressed, he might switch to a formal style.
Shadowmancy
Shadow Speak: Below Average
This is an added language that allows Talen to communicate with the 'shadow beings' on the other side of the veil. At the moment he has to concentrate to listen and communicate with them, so he can't do it while fighting for example.
Shadow Step: Average
Talen turns into a shadow and is able to travel a large distance in a short amount of time. The amount of time he spends preparing the spell is relative to the distance he travel. The amount of time needed decreases exponentially as he meditates, so it takes one minute to travel ten metres or five minutes to travel 100 metres. The time levels out at six hours, where he can travel extremely far. At the moment he can only use this skill twice a day.
Liquid Ooze: Average
Talen condenses more volatile shadow energies into a black liquid. It is extremely slippery and prone to combustion when exposed to an igniter (such as a spark, flame or other intense heat). When on fire it burns quickly, doing light damage (first degree burns) to anything it is touching. Can be used 3 times a day with about two litres of liquid created each time.
Shadow Play: Above Average
Talen is able to create a shadow illusion. The illusion is limited to a small size (about a basketball size at maximum) of darkness. He can create life-like (albeit completely black) shapes which lack a physical presence. Used at its maximum size and detail, it can be used three times a day. The shadows themselves cannot damage anyone and can only be manipulated within a metre of Talen.
Dance of the Shadow Petals: Above Average
A large dark rose appears above Talen's head and starts to bloom, the bloomed petals (starting with two and adding two petals per post for a maximum of nine petals) can be shot at a target and any un-bloomed petals are lost. The petals are about palm size and hit with the decent force and are the strength of iron, they disappear after a minute. The spell can be used three times a day.
Shadow Hold: Above Average
Talen solidifies shadows to form a solid shape used as some sort of movement inhibiting object. The smallest of these would be shackles and the largest a cage. Once the spell is formed it needs to be shot towards the opponent in some form, or physically placed on them. If the spell is not formed near Talen (eg a cage formed above a target) it cannot be created closer than ten metres from the target (so they can escape). At the moment the spell creates a dark metal as strong as steel and can be used 3 times a day (additional uses can be used if the weakest form of the spell used or a softer metal).
