Talen Shadowalker
Name: Talen Shadowalker
Known As: Talen, The Bun Kid or Bun (in Underwood after 'A Sticky Situation'), Bed Wetter (by Jensen Ambrose), or The White Shadow (when undercover).
Age: 13
Race: Human
Hair: Short Black
Eye Colour: Blue
Height: 150cm
Weight: 60kg
Occupation: Shadow Puppet Master, Knight Capitan for the Ixian Knights
Physiology
Talen is a shadow elemental. In order to join the material plane he crafted a body made of condensed shadow energy, but perfectly mimicking a normal human body. Within the body he planted a gate of sorts that allowed energy to flow into Talen slowly, effectively allowing him to grow like a normal child. Once he transferred his conciousness over, Talen lost his memory. What little he knows of before he entered the material plane of Althanas has come as second hand knowledge, and he still doesn't know why he did it.
All Talen's abilities involve manipulating the same shadow energy he is comprised of in one of three ways. By directly manipulating the energy of his body (eg. Shadow Step and Burn Baby Burn), by brining in more energy through the gate within himself (eg. Dance of Shadows and Shadow Hold) or by using latent energy that seeps in through shadows (eg. Shadow Play).
Talen's cloths are also made up of the same energy as his body, so the youth can effectively wear any type of clothing he wants and change at a whim. He is limited to black clothing however.
Blessings
Talen has currently two blessings from the Thaynes.
N'Jal: N'Jal blessed Talen during a rite with Lorenor. The bessing granted Talen additional power, some of his memories back and increased speed. The Mark of the Spider Queen in on Talen's left shoulder blade.
Hromagh: After a dream-time fight with Hromagh as well as Sei Orlouge, Jensen Ambrose and Dan Lagh'ratham, Hromagh granted Talen increased strength. On Talen's left forearm is the mark of Hromagh.
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. In most situations Talen keeps his cool and will normally take a chilled easy going attitude.
Appearance
Talen is a thirteen year old 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.
Attributes
Base Statistics
Each base statistic is assumed to be a multiplier of the average person. So if its a 2, Talen is twice as fast as average and so on. (STR= Strength, SPD= Speed, AGL= Agility, END= Endurance, SGHT= Sight, HEAR= Hearing)
STR: 2
SPD: 2
AGL: 1
END: 1
SGHT: 1
HEAR: 1
Shadowmancy
Shadow Play
Talen is able to create a illusions out of shadows. He can create human sized illusions/shapes for about 15 minutes (3 posts). At the moment he can use the spell five times a day.
Shadow Step
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 half a minute to travel ten metres or two and a half minutes to travel 100 metres. The time levels out at three hours, where he can travel extremely far. At the moment he can only use this skill three times a day.
Quest Only: Talen can travel with someone else using his Shadow Step if it is a willing participant.
Liquid Ooze
Talen condenses specific shadow energies into a very slippery (like a high quality lubricant) or sticky black liquid. Depending on the particular mix of energies Talen uses, it can either be highly flammable or not at all (similar to water). The flammable version can catch alight with exposed to an igniter (such as a spark, flame or other intense heat). When on fire it burns quickly, doing moderate damage (second degree burns) to anything it is touching. Can be used 4 times a day with about three litres of liquid created each time.
Dance of the Shadows
Talen can create some sort of object which fire projectiles and slowly grows more powerful the longer it is left before firing. Whatever is created can fire palm-size discs towards a target and have the strength of iron and disappear a minute after firing. The object starts with two discs and adds two per post until a maximum of nine. The discs can be shot at a target as soon as it is formed, but any non-ready discs are lost. The spell can be used three times a day. (removed until review at next level.)
Shadow Hold
Talen solidifies shadows to form a solid shape used as some sort of inhibiting object. The smallest of these would be shackles and the largest covering a area of four metres square (eg 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).
Burn Baby Burn
Talen has learnt how to control the dark matter in his arms. Specificity, he can cause the matter to slow down its movement, or increase it. The result allows the youth to speed up and create heat, or slow down and create extreme cold along his forearms and hands. Three times a day for ten minutes (or 3 posts, whatever first), Talen can create extreme heat or cold to radiate from his forearms and hands. Should they come in contact with another person it could cause second degree burns.
Adult Sized Serve
Talen has the ability to change his form into that of an adult. The change takes a night to either change into or out from. Talen doesn't gain an increase to any abilities, its just a change to his appearance.
Skills
From the Shadows
Talen has learnt how to change intimate objects into shadows and back. Items that have been in his possession for a long time (ie, in his character sheet, or granted as spoils in other threads) can be summoned from the shadow realm, or sent back. Can't be used in a fight, but could be used before a fight so Talen has what he needs.
Dress for Success
Talen change change his clothing at will, as long as the clothing is black, and doesn't give him an advantage in a fight.
Swordsmanship:
Talen is great 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.
Brawler:
Talen has some experience fighting hand-to-hand and knows how to use his gauntlets.
Secretes of Shadows:
Talen knows a lot about Shadowmancy or other forms of magic utilising dark energy.
Shadow Speak
Talen knows how to communicate with Shadow Elementals or other Shadow Creatures, assuming they are sentient enough to understand.
N'Jal Initiate:
Talen had decent knowledge of the Dark Goddess and those who follow her.
Basic Magic Knowledge:
Being around a lot of magic day in and day out means that Talen has picked up a few things here and there about how other types (non-shadow/dark) of magic work.
Observant:
Talen spent his life on the streets and had to learn to pay attention to what was going around him, or suffer the consequences. He will normally be paying attention to whats going on around him and generally looking out for trouble.
Equipment:
Weapons:
Ophiuchus (The Snake Bearer): (http://knightwatch.deviantart.com/art/Shadowrun-Pistol-28971008?q=boost%3Apopular%20pistol&qo=68)
During a surge of Talen's power, the manifestation of his destiny, Ophiuchus, changed dramatically. The blades have now become inert pieces of metal in the shape of pistols. While not actually firing like a normal gun, Talen can send a blast of dark energy through them six times a day. Each blast can travel around a 100 metres, and strike like a strong blow with an iron hammer. Talen can also sacrifice uses for an increase in range, combining two shots increases the range to 250 metres or three shots to 400. The current limit is three shots into one.
Iron Caltrops: Acquired (http://www.althanas.com/world/showthread.php?t=20375)
40 little spiked shapes that when thrown will always land with one spike sticking up.
Armour:
Black Cloths Set: Talen has a woollen black cloak, black linen shirt and pants and black shoes.
General:
The Bright Spark Aquired (http://www.althanas.com/world/showthread.php?t=21148)
The Bright Spark is a small wrist contraption that sits under the forearm with straps around it much like a bracer. When the device is pulled in a certain direction thanks to a pull with the wrist, the device emits a small bright spark for the distance to a foot (unless something stops it). The spark has little to no offensive ability but is useful for starting fires.
Diary of Jane: Acquired (http://www.althanas.com/world/showthread.php?p=168291&post168291)
This small nondescript black book allows anyone to read the thoughts of any women in the world. The book works as a receiver, picking up the thoughts and turning them to print on the pages. Can be resisted by people with mind protection abilities/spells or those of a higher level than the wielder.
Elruiand's Light: (http://cdn3.ioffer.com/img/item/120/528/375/o_6ye6U27WNIr4EP7.jpg) Acquired (http://www.althanas.com/world/showthread.php?p=173757&post173757)
Elruiand's Light is a small wand that can give off a fifty foot radius of pure light around it. It could blind people, but its primary used because undead must stay on the borders of the light. Talen’s doesn’t like the wand very much, but does like what it can do. (removed until review at next level.)
Cigarette Case: (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5cr6UHtXpeA/S1IS753ecvI/AAAAAAAAACo/A94VxmepRb0/s1600-h/LARGE+GOLD+BRASS+OCTOPUS+METAL+CIGARETTE+CASE+:+CR EDIT+CARD+CASE.jpg) Acquired (http://www.althanas.com/world/showthread.php?t=21891)
This enchanted cigarette pack produces one special cigarette per day. The cigarette is a mixture of peculiar herbs which, when smoked, doubles Talen's (base) speed for roughly fifteen minutes (four posts).
Medical Kit:
A small kit with a few basic medical implements in it. It contains tweezers, a scalpel, scissors and a bandage.
Trophies:
Talen has collected a number of items from his adventures, they had little if any use other than decratoive.
