Name: Licon
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Race: Human
Origin/Birthplace:
A small village away from all the hustle and bustle from all of the larger towns and any castles. The village itself Runs along a river so there is a constant fresh water supply. Then there is the plains that surround the village, there is a set of mountains that surround the plains further to the South and West. To the East a far few miles approximately 32 lies the Ocean and then to the North not even five miles lies the forest.
The village itself is small with only about 150 people living in it either all either fisherman or hunters. the Few marginal that are not are the blacksmith's and the even less amount of warriors. There are only four families that are warriors and Vex's family is one of those. Since the village itself is almost unknown to any outside person the people call their village, Spirit village, mainly for the wide belief that they all hold that there are spirits everywhere and since their village is surrounded by abundant life they seem it appropriately fitting.<o></o>

Shape of eye and brow line: Sideways oval shaped eyes and a barely visible unibrow
Shape of ears: Has slanted eyes
Shape of mouth: medium and slightly curved to the right side

Distinguishing marks or features: Has a straight line scar running down his left shoulder all the way down to the back of his hand. Wears a set of bandages across his left shoulder down to his hand to cover the scar. Wears a sword at his right side, the hilt made silver and some spirals of gold. The sheathe is a deep sky blue.

Hobbies and Recreation: Collecting uniquely made blades that are usually one of a kind or few in existence.

Personality:
Mostly seeming a non-care type of guy, if theres a fight around him in a city he usually wont do anything to stop it unless he sees reason. Do to this he is not quick to make assumptions, he is always calculating stuff in his head. Playing over situations in thinking what will happen if he does intervene. He doesn't really care about money so he wont go to any lengths to get money. He does however does things maybe like manual labor or being a body guard to make money he needs to make on a need to need basics. When ever in a fight he takes his time to analyze his surroundings to see if theres anything that he can use to his advantage such as high ground or obstacles and terrain that could get him or his opponent stuck.

Fears/anxieties: A small fear of fire. Due to a sparring accident with his father the scar running down his arm to shoulder was sealed with a needle. Due to the pain at the time all he saw was the torch that was used to heat a needle. So whenever he is around torches or arrows lit with fire he begins to get skiddish.

Likes: Going into any sword shop and examining their blades, to see if they are made in good quality.

Dislikes: Finding people that are arrogant and think that their style of sword fighting is the best. This is also a fault for him as he will usually start fights with these type of people.

Intellect/subjects of interest: Moderate knowledge of most blades and how they are used in fighting. Such as the range the weapon is most effective at and the damage it can cause. Also a small amount of the human body such as small nerve clusters or other spots to disable a person's use of limbs while fighting.

First Impression:

First glance some people would say hes a tense and uptight guy. So some might be hesitant to approach him but those that do approach and talk to him, notice he is an easy guy to talk to. When talking with him at times he seems like hes not really here. Gives a mysterious air about him that might make some people wonder about him. Also some might say he a little shy with how he talks since he stutters at times. All in all it can be said that he seems like one of those guys that your unsure of because he might seems weird so your not sure if you should approach him or not.

History:
Born and raised in the Spirit village. Raised with his two sisters Shell and April who are 3 years and 1 year older then him respectively, and his younger brother by 4 years Alex. At the start of age five his family began teaching him in the arts of the blade. Their style is more of disarming their opponent and hitting vital spots to disable their ability to fight then actual blade to blade fighting. Most of the times he would be sparring with his sisters since they were closer in skill level and then occasionally his father who would push him to his limits. When he was nine years old after a sparring session with his brother, Vex's father challenged him to a match saying his sword work was sloppy. During a strike when he was trying to cripple a nerve cluster in his fathers elbow, his father parried the strike and and pushed back Vex's sword and then with his sword bought down Vex's arm and spun around and bringing down the sword upon Vex's left shoulder and down to his back hand.

Since the accident Vex could no longer hold a sword properly with both hands, he could hold a sword with both hands but for a limited amount of time before his left side starts to shake, and thus had to make changes in his style to fit more with only using his right hand. At the age of 15 when his father was out with some of the hunters he was ambushed by a group of rouge warriors and was killed. Out of the eight people only two made it back. They died shortly after getting back but not before saying that the man that was the leader of these roughes weilded a pitch black sword, and its sheathe was a browinsh green color, and that he wore a helment made os spiked running stright back from the front of his helm to the back. Finally at the age of 18 do to training from his mother and sisters he was able to perform his family's style using his right hand only and manged to incorpriate a style of lunges and strikes into his family style. Then at the age of 19 he set out from the village to avenge his father, for 3 years he has travled and stopped by his home ocassionly, finally during his most recent stop he heard from one of the hunters that heard the tale that rumors of the rounge warrior seems to becoming from the closest castle town to the North. So now Vex is in this town searching for the man who killed his father.

(Note this character is based off of my person from Tale of the Forgotten. The RP then is more of a back round of how he came to be after everything has unfolded.)

Name: Vex

Title: Kailal knight
Race: Kailal
Gender: Male
Age: uncertain, but somewhere around the age of 110

Appearance:

- Hair: Dirty blonde hair, more brown like the blonde. His hair goes down to about mid neck length.

- Eyes: Grey with a hue of green in the middle.

- Height: Six feet two inches
.
- Weight: 178 lbs
.
- Complexion: A near like hint of pale complexion. Not entirely fully colored or completely pale. It’s not in the middle either as it lies to being more colored then pale really.

- Build: Muscular build all around. Not heavy over muscular that shows off biceps but enough to the point that when he flexes, you begin to see them.

- Noteworthy Features: His eyes, apart from the weird color, they give off a sense as if they have a deeper meaning and understanding of the world. He also carries a burn mark of sort on his right shoulder.

- Attire: Wears a black set of leather jeans with silver stripes running down his sides. His shirt his a crimson red with blue and black stripes seeming to spiral around all over in a tornado like pattern.

Personality: Almost withdrawn to him self. He doesn’t want people to get to know him at all. The only time he opens himself up and gives people a clearer look at his personality is when it comes to serious type of manners. Such things would include life or death matters or something of importance. It then appears that he indeed cares a lot about the people around him and is less cold then what he appears.

Weapon(s): Invisible, a shape shifting sword that changes its properties depending on what gems are active in it. In order for him to change his sword it requires a great deal of concentration, so if he was disturbed even if his sword was near done changing it would revert to the last form it was in.

The regular first form is just a normal sword. A silver like blade with a golden hilt, with silver lines wrapping around it.

Then there is its trident based or spear form which takes up to one gem for him to use. The trident itself is a deep shade of blue, where as the hilt changes to an emerald like green.

The large broad sword which takes five gems for it to change into. This is mostly a larger form of his regular sword, except the blade seems to take a golden type of color to it, while the hilt changes to a black type color.

Cross bow- Takes three gems for it to change to. This time the sword fuses with Vex’s arm. The normal shape of the cross bow is formed but the trigger is his arm. In order to load an arrow he needs to cock back his arm as if pulling it back, then to fire he needs to stretch it out forward. The types of arrows are magic based arrows.

Armor: Wears a set of brown leg coverings to protect his legs, and a set of green ones for his arms. To cover his body he wears a plain suit of silver armor, and he wears nothing as a helmet.

Magic: Vex’s magic comes from what gems he has in his possession. The magic is also based on the gems abilities they grant their user. Any use of the gems takes a little bit out of Vex. However if left undisturbed and he uses the gem fully, more energy is taken out of him, even more will be if his concentration is broken during a use of a gem.

Vex can use basic magic manipulation from six of the gems. The only two he cannot use any basic type of magic from is the Holy and shadow gems. The basic magic manipulation, allows Vex to conjure the particular element up and use it as a means of offense or defense. As with using the gems powers using the basic controll of the element also takes concentration, though not as much. Ex using the fire gem Vex can create a fireball, or the ice gem can create an iceicle and hurl it at his opponent.

Fire magic- Vex can create a small amount of fire as long as there is a certain amount of heat present. He then usually creates and X shape out of the fire and hurls it at his opponent. This gem only takes a little energy out of him, so the effects is hardly seen.

Shadow- This is the one type of magic Vex never uses as draws upon dark magic. If it would be used it would corrupt him, and drive him insane. The only thing that could revert him to his normal self would be that of the holy gem. Though its powers are to corrupt one’s mind and make them a servant to who ever uses it. Also grants the user the control of darkness itself. The effects of this gem are unknown since he vows to himself never to use it.

Holy- The only magic and source that can negate that of the shadow gem. Also creates small burst of Holy energy beneath the opponent. This holy magic is a burst of pure white light emitting below the ground of the person. This gem takes quite a bit out of Vex, as it's one of the higher powered gems. Using this one will leave Vex wide open and exhausted for roughly 20 minutes.

Water- Through the water gem’s powers Vex creates a mirror clone of himself. This clone is almost a separate entity of himself, as once created has a will of its own. The clone acts independent of the user and can do anything the user can do. The clone will act more on primal instinct, so in short it acts without any morals to hold it back. It could be said that the water gem creates an alternate version of ones self. The clone last as long as the user concentrates on it, and is not severely injured, losses concentration, or cast another spell. The effect of this gem doesn't take as much energy as it affects his mental state. it require a moderate amount of energy which is usually recovered by the time the clone disappears, which is about in 25 minutes. However is mental state is weakened up to the point where is other personality is likely to take over.

Earth- Grants small regenerative powers to someone as long as that remain in contact with the earth. Regenration powers to give an idea. Small nicks that barly scrath the surface take 15-20 seconds to heal. While larger, deeper cuts take ten minutes. Also when combined with a weapon, for a short amount of time usually in seconds, grants the user a type of gravity manipulation. Takes a medium amount of energy, and leaves Vex very drained. After using this gem's power he is left severely exhausted.

Lightning- This acts more as a support type magic. When calling upon this gem the user is granted with the power to summon lightning as long as they have a conduct for it. Also allows the user to move as fast as lightning. Gem that requires little energy, just leaves Vex winded a little bit. He can use this power in 20 minute intervals.

Ice- This gem is acts as a defensive type of power. When activated the user is coated in a diamond type of armor then protects them from almost any type of attack for a limited amount of time. The time span usually last for 3 minutes, the protection holds for any normal or small type of attack. However if hit from a high-powered attack, the armor instantly vanishes regardless of how long it has been. This technique requires a low cost of his energy but also again depends more upon his mental concentration. As with the water gem, after it's use his dark personality is more prone to take over.

Air- Another supportive type gem, Along with the limited ability to fly the user can coat himself and allies in a barrier of wind deflecting any weapons thrown at them, and any small weapons coming at them. The same could be applies to enemies but it would create a vacuum where the air is sucked out of the area around them. Another high energy cost, Vex is left severely opened to attack and depending on how he uses it, left on the verge of losing conscious or paralyzed. Using it for the defensive purpose would leave him paralyzed, where using it as an attack would make him lose his conscious just about.

Abilities/Skills:

Tidal wave Fury: Thrusting his sword into the air and calling upon the powers that lie within the sword, he creates a small barrier around his enemy. The barrier is then filled with water until it’s filled about half way. The water then recedes into the edges of the barriers while forming triangle like wedges. Once there they rush forward back onto the enemy, and the barrier vanishes. Just before the wedges hit his opponent Vex let’s lose a burst of energy concentrated from his sword, for it to explode once the wedges fully close in on his opponent. This attack fully drains Vex, and he is left unconscious for some time until some of his energy can restore it self.

Lightning’s ark: Vex calls upon the power of they sky to enchant his blade with the power of lightning. If he would swing his blade, lightning like blades would swing out from it. This is a technique that he can keep up for about 5 minutes in battle. After he is done this attack he is left wide open for attacks as it drains quite a bit out of him.

Quick History: Sole survivor of a massacre. His entire race was slaughtered by a mysterious being that used the power of his people. Since he was just an infant this person took him along and used a dark power to brain wash him. Vex was then raised to be one of his elite fighters, killing on a whim and without a sign of remorse. Latter in his service he was sent to a cave where one of the relics of his people were said to lie. It was a gem that his people created and gave off a brilliant white glow. As soon as Vex got close and stretched out his hand to take it, it shone even brighter. The intensity brought Vex to his knees as suddenly countless memories flooded him. It showed the person who raised him killing his people and using his magic to brain wash him. Slowly he was able to come to his true self, and the power this person held over him was gone. It was after this that Vex vowed to himself to find the remaining gems, to prevent this being from getting them. For he now knew of the powers they possessed and who knows what would happen if this other being got all of them for himself.

After being exposed to both the shadow and holy gems, Vex's personality was split in two. Though he was now free of the Dark ones controll it left him still with an evil personality. There is is ture self which has the memories of both his sides and is the self that wishes to atone for his evil deeds. Then there is his evil persona which can come out in times of extreme battle lust, this persona has only all the negative memories he has ever experienced.
