<u1:p></u1:p>
<u1:p></u1:p>Race: Hume

Element: Fire
Eldon's fire element serves as an agility boost. He's easily capable of incorperating his element into swift and dexterous movements. While he is nevertheless incapable of invoking his fire element into physical magic, it simply serves him as combat reinforcement.
Eldon's element bears a harshly obvious and sometimes atrocious effect on his personality. He's free spirited, deviously promiscuous, and perpetually indirect about everything he does. His movements are hard to follow, as are his ideas.
Eldon's hot blooded nature frequently causes him to be misunderstood for someone of a more...contemptible nature.


<u1:p></u1:p>Origin/Birthplace : Randraden
Randraden is a large, necromantic city which stands remote and isolated from outside territories. The city is immediately surrounded by a vast and monumental volcanic mountain range, and is politically run under the control of a highly prophetical and secretive group known as the Randrenian Court.
The city of Randraden is highly populated by a famously literate society of people. The region itself holds over 250,000 people, and the Randrenian regiment boasts over 100,000 soldiers in it's current state. The capital city of Randraden holds a population of around 50,000 people.
<u1:p></u1:p>
<u1:p></u1:p>
Current Residence: Unknown (n/a)
Eldon's most frequently visited locations include the capital city of Randraden, as well as small neighboring towns and villages along the outskirts of the vast and mountainous region. During his out-of-region duties, he is known to jump from town to town on a customary basis; and frequently travels among rouge travelers with members of his battalion.

<u1:p></u1:p>
Appearance:
Eldon usually sports casual fitted attire. He wears a lose, white collared shirt which ties on the side like a robe; black cotton lined pants with soft silk-like exterior; thick black leather belt with silver buckle; and a silver sword holster around his waist. He also carries an ornamental, protective chest plate around his neck and shoulders.

Face and Head:
Eldon's face is bears several highly prominent features. His nose is a very strong facial asset; sturdy and especially squared at the tip. It appears to have been harshly damaged at one point in time. While it's appearance is still normally proportionate, it does feature a somewhat noticeable 2 cm gash on the upper right side, near his eye.

Eldon's eyes are very deep set and intense. They dazzle in a fascinating carribean/sky blue color. His browline is thick, and jagged; not quite following the shape as his eye. He bears a very strong, single chinned, square-shaped jaw. His lips are thin, and hardly stand out as a prominent feature on his face. His ears are somewhat commonplace; typicall and ordinary, yet frequently hidden behind his hair. His facial complexion is rough and notably worn from frequent sun exposure and outdoor travel.

Body:
<u1:p></u1:p>Height: 6'1"”
Weight: 181 Lb.

Eldon's build is solid and mid-weight and his body is well toned. His skin is well tanned, course, and callused. He also bears a deep diagonal scar which streams from his lower left back to his right shoulderblade. His most prominent bodily features are his hands; large, elongated, and harshly callused.

<u1:p></u1:p> <o:p></o:p>Political position:
Eldon is a member of the Randrenian army. Recruited in a combat draft at the age of 16. Lucky survivor of the "Randrenian massacre" which took place 3 years after his recruitment. (See History for details.)
After proving effective as a soldier, Eldon was advanced from his position as a second-class soldier and was placed on assignment as the leader of his own 25 man battalion. He serves as a loyal member of the imperial Randrenian court. His duties include recruiting and training new members of the Randrenian regiment.

<u1:p></u1:p>
Hobbies and Recreation:
Eldon proves to be one of the most outspoken risk-takers in the Randrenian court. He's an excellent judge of character, enjoys socializing to a high degree, proves to be an outstanding womanizer, and loves the art of war. Frequently gambles, takes on ludicrous bets, and stands out as the life of the party in most social occasions.

<u1:p></u1:p>
Personality: <o:p></o:p>
Eldon is quick to judge. He has low patience, and bears little to no tollerance for wait-and-see situations. He rarely takes time to get to know people, yet is easy to socialize with. Stubborn, closed-minded, always takes the first step, and shows little respect for indecisive peoples.
Eldon isn't easily threatened in most situations; though even if he were, he'd be sly enough to make anyone else think otherwise. He's more so generous than greedy as well. Altough he may come across as a selfish individual, he's quite giving and protective.


Ambitions: <u1:p></u1:p>
Eldon reached his career high at the age of 25 when he was entrusted with the honorable position as a member of the Randrenian court. His primary ambition is to administer his own portion of the Randrenian regiment which holds over 100,000 soldiers in it's current state.

<u1:p></u1:p>
Fears/anxieties:
<u1:p></u1:p>Eldon has fought alongside his own father in war since his recruitment into the Randrenian regiment as a boy. His leading setbacks in life to date were the deaths of his mother and sister, Monysol and Sophie Agrippa, who died in the Randrenian massacre which took place about nine years prior. While he stands beside his father in battle, he still retains certain anger and distance towards him since his mother and sister's gruesome deaths.

Talents:
<u1:p></u1:p>Eldon isn't just a social butterfly; his people skills are much deeper than just casual conversation. Though you wouldn't think it at first glance, he's quite a masterful dancer, a gifted card-carrying magician, and he's very quick with smart remarks and jokes. Eldon is an accomplished harpiscord player, and he has a nack for originality and design. He's quite dexterous, and witty.

<u1:p></u1:p>Likes: Not Required
<u1:p></u1:p>Eldon is a typical barbarian brute. He drinks, gambles, chases women, and acts in a rough, uncivil manor on plenty of occasions. While he retains his wild exterior in the Randrenian court, he slips into vulgarity easily enough on social grounds.
He favors the colors red and green, and his favorite foods include: beef skewers, deer jerky, and grilled steak. When it comes to members of the opposite sex, he has a soft spot for shy women.

Dislikes:
<u1:p></u1:p>Obnoxious women, people with opposing opinions, domesticated rodents, and cold water.

Intellect/subjects of interest:
Eldon's father remains to be one of the leading cultural scientists in Randraden. His mother, before her death, held little to no relevance in social class and pursued a life of placidity as a simple florist and herbal doctor. Eldon cultivated certain knowledgeable traits from his parents such as a wide understanding of chemistry and herbal remedies.
Growing up, Eldon spent an adequate amount of time as an errand boy for his father and his cohorts in the Randrenian court. Today, he bears a crucial insight on Randraden's politial status.

<u1:p></u1:p>
<u1:p></u1:p>First Impression:
At first glance, Eldon may come across as a typical degenerate womanizer. His appearance makes him seem selfish and concieted, and that's entirely the impression that he wants people to have. While he'd prefer to have an intimidating appearance towards other men, he's actually somewhat of a people magnet, regardless of sex. He does put on a very sly and brutish front, and he's really quite closed-mouthed about his soft side around people he doesn't know. Typically speaking, Eldon would probably approach a stranger before the contrary could happen anyhow.
<u1:p></u1:p>

Sense of Humor :
<u1:p></u1:p>Pending on the situation at hand, Eldon can show both signs of compassion and intollerance. In topics which bear a serious nature, Eldon is quick to act out in rash behavior, however...in a quaint, social atmosphere, he is gracelessly outspoken.

<u1:p></u1:p>
History:
Former ally of the Knights of the Round, flirtaciously smitten with Rheachel, (the young daughter of Embassador Masztieg), survivor of the Randrenian massacre, and decendant of the Randrenian royal blood line.

Born to Enrych and Monysol Agrippa, Eldon is a half blooded Arcanian, (better known as runic magic wielders). Eldon's mother, Monysol, was a full blooded decendant of a deeply spiritual and endangered race known as the Arcanians, who hail from ancient northern territories.

Immediately after the alignment of Randraden and Sandra, Eldon was born directly into the afairs of the Randrenian court. As a result of his father's scholarly authority and respect, Eldon was promised a seat of mediocre importance on the court alongside his father.

Eldon grew up as a harshly misunderstood, wild, and uncontrollable youth; strong willed, adventurous, and full of ambition. Having seen very little of his father during childhood, he grew up bearing little recognition or respect for his absent father figure. Dispite his wild-child behavior though, Eldon always appreciated his mother's disposition.

By age 16, Randraden fell out of harmony with it's bordering provinces, and Eldon was recruited into the Randrenian regiment, and was sent promptly to Sandra in order to join in training. Upon returning home to Randraden nearly three years later during a momentary dispatch, Eldon and his family fell victim to an unexpected ambush by neighboring territories, and during what came to be known as the "Randrenian massacre", Eldon lost his mother and young sister in a gruesome struggle, while his father, Enrych, was nowhere to be found.

Now 19 years old, Eldon returned to Sandra and immediately relocated to the Southern Territories in a military dispatch in order to flee from the nightmare that took his family from him. During his stay in the South, Eldon became fatefully aquainted with ambassador masztieg and his daughter, Rheachel. Having been moderately enamored with Rheachel's presence over the next five years, Eldon and Rheachel developed a quaint adolescent infatuation with one another.

At age 25, Eldon was recognized as an outstanding member of the Randrenian regiment, and was issued an honorable position on the Randrenian court. Upon his promotion, Eldon was ordered to leave the Southern territories and return home to Randraden.

After his political advancement, Eldon was entreated with a simutaneous roll as a superior in Sandra's prideful valiance: the Knights of the Round. As much as his successfulness and humble accomplishments had portrayed him as a trusting and respected character, his circumstances however, soon took an unexpected turn.

Upon having served three years as an upper-class member of the Randrenian court, Eldon found himself in the suspicion of defiance by his associates. The condition of his "betrayal" were the suspected murder of a fellow court member, and secret alliances with Southern democratic revolutionists...His terms included his immediate arrest and imprisonment, however, he hastefuly fleed from Randraden before his capture could be ensued.

Family:
Enrych Agrippa - Father - Alive
Monysol Agrippa - Mother - Deceased
Sophie Agrippa - Younger sister - Deceased

------------------------------------------- RPB Info-----------------------------------------

Health/Defense:
<u1:p></u1:p>Eldon encompasses a decent enough resistance towards fire based attacks and spells. He's otherwise generally defenseless towards most magic attacks. He bears a high recovery rate towards physical attacks, however, most other magics or ice based attacks hold somewhat of an upper hand over him.

Strength/Offense:
<u1:p></u1:p> Eldon is typically a front line fighter, and a highly effective physical attacker. He has a generally low defense towards magic and is generally inadequate at performing non fire-based spells.

Weapons:
<o:p></o:p>
Zero Steel:
<o:p> </o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>
Zero Steel is a smoothly crafted steel blade. The entire sword; from the hilt to the tip of the blade is constructed entirely with sterling steel. It bears a highly lustrous and glassy appearance. Zero Steel’s primary advantage is its steel hilt, which allows Eldon to effortlessly send heat through the blade using his fire element.

Armor:

Astral Grieves:

The Astral Grieves are specially designed leg guards which are constructed from easily malleable precious metals as well as typical steel. While the steel underplating gives the grieves a medium amount of physical defense, the purple hued metal, also known as Orillium, provides a substantial amount of magical safeguarding. The grieves, while magically inclined, are strongest against the rare cellestial and solar magics.

Idol Plate:

The Idol Plate provides somewhat of an inadequate amount of physical protection for Eldon's front side. He relies solely on his swordsmanship to protect his front end during combat. While the plate appears to be thin and unreliable for protection from the front end, it atcually expands quite dramatically across his upper back and over his shoulders. Since Eldon spends a lot of time with his back and shoulders towards his enemy during most of his dominant moves, he relies on the steel lining to protect him from physical blows. The Idol Plate provides Eldon with a proportionate boost in endurance.

<st1:city><st1:place>Battle</st1:place></st1:city> Tactics:
Eldon is predominately a close range fighter. He typically relies on close range combat with a two handed sword, however, he does contain a few effective mid range fire-based attacks. His personality undoubtedly shines through on the battle field; he’s quick with his judgments and highly revengeful after suffering from enemy attacks.

Battle Techniques:

Back Slash
Eldon turns his back towards the enemy, briefly exposing his rear side. He lifts his sword in a crescent shaped form and swiftly swings the blade down onto his enemy in a diagonal motion. The Back Slash usually strikes the enemy across the shoulders or in the torso region, and is commonly used as a counterattack move.

<o:p></o:p>Advantages: Fast-paced move with little time for opponent reaction
Disadvantages: Back end exposure for a brief 2-4 seconds
Eldon’s proficiency with this move: 10/10

<o:p></o:p><o:p></o:p><o:p></o:p><o:p></o:p><o:p></o:p>Skull Crusher
In order for this move to be initiated, Eldon must be standing at least 6 feet away from his enemy to start. Eldon takes a quick 2-3 step dash towards the enemy and jumps into the air while lifting his sword above his head with both hands. He then consecutively brings his blade down in a strong downward blow. This move is typically used against foes with powerful defense, or heavy armor. The Skull Crusher commonly strikes the enemy against the center of the head, or shoulders. <o:p> </o:p>

Advantages: Critical attack/more damage is dealt
Disadvantages: Easy to evade by quick or lightweight enemies/Torso and mid-section exposure for a brief 3-5 seconds.
Eldon’s proficiency with this move: 7/10 <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p>

Fire Blow
In order for Eldon to begin the move, he must be a safe distance away from his enemy to ensure a long enough time-gap.
Eldon places his palm against the naked blade of his sword, and conveys a scorching flame onto the blade using his biological fire element. Within 10 seconds, the blade will begin to glow smoldering red, meaning the transfer of heat is complete. He then begins a rapid dash towards the enemy, and brings the sword down against his opponent in a diagonal motion.
The fire blow is one of Eldon’s few elemental based attacks. The move takes a solid 10-15 seconds to complete; therefore it isn’t typically used unless the enemy is far enough out of range, or undoubtedly inattentive for a brief period of time. This move is generally of good use against slower enemies as well. <o:p> </o:p>

Advantages: Powerful attack against ice and water based foes
Disadvantages: Extensive down-time
Eldon’s proficiency with this move: 6/10 <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p>

Flame Brand
Eldon quickly jousts his sword into the ground and holds his hands face down, adjacent to both sides of the blade. He promptly uses his palms to guide a heavy stream of flames into the blade, and then subsequently lifts his sword with both hands. With the blade of the sword swiftly ablaze, Eldon can now apply a more powerful form of flame based attacks towards the enemy.
The move itself takes somewhere around 7-10 seconds to execute. Once the move has been performed, Eldon’s sword will remain in flames for up to 5 straight minutes.

<o:p></o:p>Advantages: Strong fire-based offence
Disadvantages: Brief 5-7 seconds of lost contact with his blade
Eldon’s proficiency with this move: 8/10 <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p>

Berserker
Berserker is a state of high adrenaline which Eldon commonly enters in situations that result in high levels of stress, pain, or pressure. While Berserker is a highly efficient state of being in terms of increased strength and speed, it’s also a condition which results in high unpredictability and impulsive actions. Eldon also has no mental control over the occurrence of the Berserker state.

My Character Profiles · February 25, 2007, 6:03 AM

The Nation of Aracelle<o:p></o:p>
(Pronounced “Are-ah-cherry-elle)
The nation of Aracelle is located at the northernmost tip of the globe. The continent itself accommodates some of the coldest regions in the known world. Aracelle is not a nation divided by states or separate forms of government; the people are undivided and act in a harmonious nature. The nation is secluded from most other regions of the world on account of its Icelandic climate and treacherous oceanic borders.

<o:p></o:p>
Locations within the nation of Aracelle:

Himacala (abode of snow)<o:p></o:p>
Himacala is a perilous range of mountains near the eastern edge of Aracelle; It accommodates several natural caves, mines, and a large supply of elemental resources. The Arcellians use the natural resources for labors such craftwork, alchemy, and medicinal needs, as well as for barter and trade materials. <o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p> Ciara Rasmi (dark beam of moon)<o:p></o:p>
Ciara Rasmi is considered to be sacred land through the eyes are the Aracellians. The city itself is a deserted metropolis of mechanical structures and archaic ruins. There are several myths surrounding the demise of Ciara Rasmi’s population, and the fall of its leaders. Most traditional folklores revolve around the annihilation of Ciara Rasmi’s royal family on account of a forbidden love that transpired between Sarhea, the nations Queen, and Rajinish, Aracelle’s god of night. <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p>

The story entails that Rajinish disguised himself as a foreign warrior and took advantage of Sarhea’s human innocence. Sarhea was meant to have been a great spiritual diviner, but because she gave her both her heart and her physical being to another, her innocence was corrupted, and Ciara Rasmi’s honor was shattered. Rajinish was also not only a god, but the exiled god of night who had been cast out of Aracelle’s heavenly empire on account of his wicked being and crooked deeds. <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p>

The affection that transpired between the two lovers brought about a great turbulence between Ciara Rasmi’s pride and Rajinish’s tolerance. In order to end the terrible dishonor that evolved between them, Sarhea’s own political outfit decided to end her life so that Rajinish could no longer disgrace her and humiliate their dignity.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p></o:p>Upon discovering Sarhea’s formidable death, Rajinish dispersed his anger onto all of Ciara Rasmi. The mythical account states that Rajinish reached into the heavens and ripped the stars out of the sky, casting them down onto the city. He then brought about a sinister plague of darkness, and left Ciara Rasmi to freeze in the never-ending frost of night. <o:p></o:p>

<o:p></o:p>As it stands, Ciara Rasmi has not seen the light of day in over 500 years.

The Nation of Sandra<o:p></o:p><o:p></o:p>
