Character's Name: Balthoron Mindeye
Age: 125
Gender: Male
Species: Pren Elf
Abilities:A powerful nature mage, Balthoron has dedicated his abilities to mastering the magics he was taught in the monastery. These abilities were all based around nature, as the monastery was dedicated to the God of the Forests. This has resulted in him being able to control plants and exhibit limited control over animals. Most of his spells are cast through an incantation, meaning that while they are powerful, they can be interrupted. His most powerful ability is to create familiars from the nature around him. These creatures can be deadly, but have a sympathetic bond with him, and damage to them will be reflected back onto him, in a lesser degree. For example, if a familiar in incinerated, Balthoron will be burned, though not badly.
His training in monastic life has taught him how to access his inner reality, his mental landscape. Though normally used for meditation, in battle, he can pass through this landscape as a method of travel, moving rapidly across a short distance. This method is faster, but more draining, than normal portals. From the outside, this can resemble teleportation. However, this access does leave him particularly vulnerable to mental attack, as it can cause physical damage. This focus on his magic has left him only reasonable with a blade or bow, where he relies more on his natural elven gifts than any real skill. Though his is not a novice, any skilled user of the blade could best him in a purely physical confrontation.
Appearance:His hair appears to be stained green, though it had originally been brown. His skin is lightly tanned, and his eyes are a deep blue.. He usually wears an armored bodysuit. The fabric is green and formfitting. It has steel armor on his shoulders and knees, placed there to protect his joints. The armor appears to be there to protect the joints, though the armor is designed so it doesn't restrict his mobility.
Personality: He is a rather proud individual, though not without reason. While he is reasonable with the sword, he learned to access his mind and draws his power from it. It has made him arrogant, though he is not the type to start a confrontation without good reason. Those who disrespect him or his achievements will be met with a personal hatred, and he is likely to confront them at some point. His actions are often dictated be either a desire to follow, or rebel from, the moral code the monks raised him with. His struggle between the desire to be his own person and the influence of his upbringing, can lead him to be random, contradicting himself when the mood strikes him.
He does have two rules, though, which are held universally for his company: Always honor your agreements and never compromise your comrades. If these two are in conflict, his comrades are his higher priority.
He prefers to fight tactically, using his abilities to change the battlefield to give himself an advantage, or waiting until the ideal moment to confront a more powerful opponent.
History: Born to a pair of lower class Pren elves, Balthoron was sent off to live at a monastery of Malina early in his life. His parents had been devout, and with no better way to care for their child, they hoped he would enjoy the church as they had. While Balthoron took to the study of nature easily, he did have some troubles with the moral code the temple desired of it's adherents. Once he was old enough and trained enough, Balthoron vanished from the temple.
Since then, the mage lived as a mercenary, hired to protect trade, expeditions, or to just kill people and beasts. He was successful enough to earn a last name, and started his own mercenary company, the Companions of the Wilds, which has become known for only accepting worthy warriors.
