Name: Elijah “Whisper” Morendale
Age: Approximately six months
Race: Mouse
Fur color: Rust, with a lighter shade on his belly
Eye color: Black
Height: 4.7” when standing upright on his hind legs, 8.3” from nose to tip of his tale
Weight: 1.1 ounces
Occupation: Lieutenant in the Black Talon Corps
Personality: Elijah, against all odds considering his past and the crew he currently runs with, is a rather kind and gentle soul. Although he can come across as timid and skittish in most situations, Elijah is in fact a very brave little special ops mouse that will stand up for his comrades in the Corps, no matter what threat is staring them down. His actions and valor in the field and his polite, respectful, even-handed demeanor at the base has earned him the respect of everyone within the Black Talon. Elijah tends to keep to himself in most social situations, and rarely speaks unless directly addressed or if he is giving orders--and when he does, he speaks in a quiet but sure manner that earned him the nickname “Whisper” when he was only a pup.
Appearance: Elijah is your average-looking mouse, of average length and lean, athletic build. Much like his brothers in the Black Talon Corps, he sports a thin linen tunic dyed black over his upper torso, with a leather belt that keeps his short sword strapped to his waist. He also keeps a royal blue hooded wool cloak around his shoulders when in the field. An onyx clasp in the shape of a talon keeps it wrapped around his neck.
History: Elijah’s story, much like others who find themselves in the Corps, is one of tragedy. An attack by a pack of feral cats on his village left him the sole survivor when he was only weeks old. The Black Talon agents who were tasked with a search and rescue happened upon the pup, and took him back to their base in Concordia. The Matron, the nameless mouse in charge of the motley crew of wanderers and wastrels, took pity on Elijah and raised him as her own. The Matron guided Elijah in the ways of the Black Talon, allowing him to naturally develop his own affinities in stealth and archery while training him to ride owl and rabbit mounts. During his second month, she gifted him with an owl mount of his own, which he bonded with faster than any other mouse she has known. Elijah quickly rose in the ranks to Lieutenant, due to both the respect of his fellow mice and the fact that missions always saw fewer and fewer of their ranks coming back alive. The timid little mouse called Whisper now sees himself as one of the five in command of the Black Talon Corps under The Matron, and is one of her most trusted confidants.
Skills:
Archery/Marksmanship: Remarkable
Swordplay: Above average
Stealth: Above average
Medical knowledge (identifying healing agents in the field, dressing wounds, setting broken limbs, etc.): Excellent
Owl and rabbit riding: Above average
Tradesqueak: Can communicate with humans and humanoids, but often chooses not to because it tends to frighten them
Literacy and penmanship: Great
Abilities:
Arcane Mastery: From when he could hold a bow, Elijah has shown an affinity towards tapping into the magical energies that course through this world and infuse them into his weapons. Currently, these are the elements he is able to tap into:
-Spark: Three times per day, the little mouse can infuse electricity into his weapons. They will shimmer with a light blue energy that explodes on impact, delivering a nasty shock to the recipient. Should the blow miss and connect with a solid surface such as dirt or stone or bark, the electricity will arc out of the weapon and spread in a circle five inches around the point of impact, delivering a less powerful but still substantial jolt to those caught in the field of effect.
-Cinder: Three times per day, Elijah can ignite his weapon with the power of fire. When the magical blaze makes contact, it will spread out in a ring of roughly two inches and cause the affected to suffer minor to significant burns.
Astrid: Elijah has bonded deeply with a great horned owl named he named Astrid. The owl has formed a deep relationship with him, and will fiercely defend the mouse should she ever witness him in peril. Astrid is able to take to the air at speeds of up to 15 mph in still wind, slightly less if Elijah is riding her.
Equipment:
A yew longbow, scaled down to his size.
A stained leather quiver that seems to find itself filled with twelve cyper arrows with iron heads at the beginning of every thread
An inch and a half-long iron short sword, lovingly nicknamed Splinter, that sits in a leather sheath strapped to a belt
Black linen shirt and deep blue wool cloak
