Let's go ahead and sacrifice Madison for her experience and start up a new character under this same account, shall we? If my calculations are correct, I'll be starting at Level 5 and will write this profile as such.

Name: Erron Sabine
Race: Glitch Elemental; appears human
Gender: Looks, sounds, and identifies as a male
Age: Basically immortal, but appears to be in his early twenties
Hair Color: Pitch black, with neon highlights that are constantly changing colors
Eye Color: A hauntingly light shade of neon blue
Height: 5'11"
Weight: Approximately 160 lbs.
Occupation: Curious wanderer

Personality: Erron is generally a light-hearted, calm, naturally curious individual who is often quick with a punchline and a word of reassurance. Due to his nature as a glitch elemental, he occasionally suffers from a short attention span, and can find it incredibly hard to focus on a single task or person a good part of the time. Erron handles danger and stress extremely well; this is mostly due to his time spent in an Althanas that is thousands of years removed from the one we know. The elemental was born in an era where advanced technology mixed with magic has left entire races subdued, governments overthrown by corporations, and continents ravaged by decades of the kinds of war that the world's current residents could never dream of. Due to his numerous interactions with the technomages of his time and the horrors wrought by them, Erron had long ago shut down the parts of his mind that allowed him to feel extreme fear, sorrow, and anger--this has come with the unfortunate side-effect of coming across as a cheery, child-like sociopath to others.

Appearance: Erron Sabine is one "anime handsome" son of a bitch. With sharp, androgynous features and a toned body, the elemental has a sort of unnatural beauty and grace about him that would even make the likes of Witchblade look at him for longer than half a second and women with the last name of Remi lick their lips for other, less-bloodthirsty reasons. Erron keeps his pitch-black hair in a shaggy mess atop his head. His hair also features a light smattering of highlights that are constantly shifting in color, from deep blues to neon greens to slightly embarrassing shades of hot pink (it comes with the whole elemental gig). The elemental likes to keep his outfit simple: Whenever traveling around Althanas, he likes to keep it loose and fashionable with an unzipped white leather jacket that has black sleeves and shoulders, a black pair of tight leather pants, black leather gloves, and a pair of black sneakers (not leather). Whenever he finds himself in a combat situation, Erron removes his jacket to reveal a tight, plain black shirt that is missing its sleeves. Straight neon blue lines decorate the glitch elemental's arms, back, and chest like a circuit board, and emit a soft glow when he activates his glitch abilities.

History: The glitch elemental was born through the desires of an unnamed technomage during an assault on New Radasanth by the Elven Coalition in the far flung future. That turned into a war that lasted a solid couple of decades, and after its conclusion the mage decided to banish Erron's essence back into the cybertap where he came from. The spell went wrong, and instead it flung him back in time into the primitive age we know, love, and play in currently with no means to return to his time. That's basically all the necessary information there is.

Skills:

Weapon proficiency: Due to the nature of his creation, Erron's mind was infused with several different weapon proficiencies in order to serve his corporation's needs in an adequate manner. Erron can be considered extremely skilled both offensively and defensively with the following styles of weapons:


One-handed swords
Staves
Bow and arrow/firearms
Whips
Claw-style weapons


Artificing: The glitch elemental was born of technological magic, and was imbued at birth with a thorough knowledge of all forms of technology that Althanas has seen over the course of its life--steam, electrical, cybernetic, you name it. Therefore, he has the innate ability to analyze and process the inner workings of any piece of tech he happens to come across, which of course isn't much in this day and age. Hell if he can use that knowledge to assemble anything, however.

Reading level: Impressive. Can read any commonly-known written language on Althanas, so long as examples would've been able to survive into the far future where he came from.

Abilities:

More Than Human: While looking like a normal man, Erron is anything but. Thanks to his elemental nature, he can perform feats of incredible agility (in combat and outside of it), run at roughly 20 miles per hour for extended periods of time without slowing down, lift upwards of 400 pounds without breaking a sweat, and throw punches or swing glitch constructs with enough force to shatter wood, crack stone, dent steel, and break bones. Not only can he give hits, but he can take them, too--Erron will shrug off most hand-to-hand blows, cuts from blades, and strikes from blunt weaponry and still get up to fight back.

Glitch Constructs: The one thing that makes Erron unique as far as different types of elementals go is that, as a glitch elemental, he has the ability to create small, hard light "pixels" either on his body or anywhere within a twenty-five foot radius from him, and command the pixels to form into any construct of his design. It could be anything he desires; be it something practical, like his own mug for a friendly night at a tavern, or a hastily-summoned blade to defend himself with in the Citadel. The process of creating an item depends on how big the item is and how complicated its construction is--for example, while assembling a walking stick or a shield would take a second, something more mechanically intricate--such as a crossbow--could take upwards of ten seconds. These constructs would work exactly how their real world counterparts would. Erron has the ability to push and pull his constructs towards or away from him at incredible speeds, but cannot change their trajectory in mid-flight. The elemental also has the ability to banish his light constructs in an instant. The pixels have a defensive and offensive strength on par with delyn. Any object constructed by him will have a weight virtually equal to its real-life equivalent. As such, Erron is able to produce enough pixels in a day/battle to equal 100 pounds worth of constructs.

Laser burst: From the palms of his hands, Erron can generate a neon blue and pink swirl of pure light energy that can be thrown in one of two ways--either as straight beams of energy that will dissipate after traveling forty feet or hitting a solid object, or mold the light into a ball and toss it like a grenade, which will explode in a burst of energy that has a ten foot diameter upon contact with a solid object. Should either method of delivery come in contact with a living being, it will burn the victim's skin horribly and send a jolt of electric energy through their body, causing them a shot of lingering pain that leaves behind a lingering numbness. He can produce up to seven beams or "bombs" in a day/battle.

Regeneration: Once Erron's body suffers a cut, or broken bones, or what have you, his body will start producing pixels that will mend and heal him. Small cuts and sprains are healed almost instantaneously, while deep gashes and broken bones may take a few minutes to fix. If a limb gets severed, it will take a few hours or even up to an entire day to regenerate. Should he actually, properly die; well... Let's just say he wouldn't be surprised if he lost a solid week's worth of time and gets confused as to why suddenly he's traveled forward in time such a short distance.

Special Equipment:
Nothing so far.

Et tu Maddy? TAT)/

More Than Human would count as a few abilities, Speed, Strength and Endurance. Strength and Endurance I got a good feel for, but speed should be defined a bit more. How much more can he 'move considerably faster than a fit athlete or skilled martial artist'?

Laser burst, if you hit a normal person in the chest, I assume that it would burn a deep hole into their skin? One which would prove shortly fatal?

I love Maddy and all, but she's run her course :'( I'll have Paul pour one out on the next poddy.

I've edited More Than Human to give a hard number on how fast he can run.

With the Laser Burst, I'm not intending it to be a kill shot. It'll burn through cloth and leather, but even a perfect shot such as you described would grievously wound them, but not outright kill. A second shot in the exact same spot would certainly do the trick, though.

....Scratch this. After some long thought, I've decided to keep Maddy a little while longer. Go ahead and trash this profile.

Well, I was going to appologise for the delay, I suppose good thing I ended up without internet on the weekend!

Maddy has a lot of potential, it might be worth thinking about where you want to take her and maybe brining back some of her humanity. If a character is too much aligned with a single concept or idea it can be hard to enjoy using (IMO).
