Name:
Eros Heartseeker
Age:
3,000
Gender:
Male
Species:
Angel (Love)
Appearance:
Eros stands at an average 5'11" tall, and has a muscled build. His complexion is fair, with peachy and pink undertones to it. His face is oval shaped, and marked with two beauty marks, one near his left eye and the other on the right side of his chin. His almond-shaped eyes are a dark brown, and set under particularly thick dark brows. His hair is interesting, being two toned. The sides and back of his head are a dark drown, almost black in color, with the top being a beautiful silver color. He wears a pair of heart shaped glasses on his head, which he frequently pulls down over his eyes.
His choice of clothing is eccentric to say the least. The most noticeable article of clothing, aside from his glasses, is his bright pink leather jacket. Under this he wears a pale grey shirt with a deep v-neck. His pants are unassuming, dark charcoal in color, and against them his muted aquamarine colored boots stand out. He wears a pink glove on his right hand, for the rare occasion that he does use a bow and arrow.
He possesses a pair of beautiful silver wings. While they're small in size, he can still fly with them (mostly via magic).
Personality:
Eros is first and foremost a gentleman. He believes in good manners and in treating others the way you want to be treated. He pulls out chairs for women, stands when they enter a room, and believes that every woman should feel like a princess and every man a prince. He's an incredibly kind individual, and goes out of his way to make another smile. While charitable, he's not foolish. Eros believes firmly in self care, and won't put his own health or safety at risk for the sake of another. That's not to say he won't help, he simply know how to do so in moderation.
He's a very personable man. A good conversationalist, Eros knows how to keep the conversation moving, and is an active listener. When speaking to someone, they have his full attention, and he'll be sure to excuse himself should something else require his attention. He's rarely seen without a smile on his face, and his eyes are constantly bright. It's almost as if he never feels melancholy.
Eros is a shameless flirt. Whether this happens accidentally because of his good nature or because he simply enjoys the attention is unknown, but no one is immune from his flirtation. Men, women, all are fair game to his charms, and he's happy to lay on a well deserved compliment. He is quite an amorous man, and has taken many to bed before, though he's never unfaithful. He's up front and honest with his feelings, and encourages others to do the same in their relationships. He believes firmly in communication, respect, and mutual trust are required foundations for all relationships.
His easygoing nature does cause some problems. His carefree attitude often causes many to not take him seriously, or simply cast his opinions aside. He's seen as too loose by many--an idealistic dreamer with his head in the clouds.
Abilities:
Eros possesses a very unique ability, even among Love angels. With the aid of his glasses, he can see the strings of fate that tie people together. Friendships, lovers, spurned lovers, the heartbroken, he can see it all. He even has the ability to see potential soul mates, identified by a matching mark on their bodies.
He loves playing matchmaker, especially given his ability to make people fall in love. On top of this, he can inspire feelings of puppy love in others, along with just feelings of overall harmony. He usually accomplishes this by simply pointing at an individual and saying "Bang!" dramatically. He can accomplish this similarly with a bow and magic arrow, but he personally finds it boring.
As far as offensive magic goes, he possesses gravity and air magic, most of which he uses to fly. He can whip up twisters and storms, and when he's really angry he can change the weight of an object to make it impossible to move. He prefers nonviolent use of his magic
History:
Eros was born to the former King and Queen of Love angels. His childhood was a simple one, in spite of the war and continuing skirmishes. His family was nomadic in nature, and he saw much of the world at a young age. Both parents have since perished in the war, and since their death Eros devotes himself to foster peace between demons and angels. While still a young, relatively new king, he does his best for his people, though many still see him as the child he was.

Character's Name: Seerajek
Nicknames: Jek
Age: 75
Gender: Male
Species: Kirin (Myras)
Abilities: Strength, Agility, Endurance, Shapeshifting to Human-like form, Lightning breath
Appearance: In Kirin form, Jek is long, sleek and, most importantly albino. As a Myras, he is mostly scaled save for a soft underbelly. His eyes are a glacial blue but can appear dark when his pupils are fully dilated. When not dilated, his pupils form slits. He has fangs that poke up past his lips, and an antler that points forward, with a small branch near the base. He has dexterous dragon-like feet, with long claws, and his long mane is wavy and somewhat unkempt. He has a long, sleek looking body, a long neck, and long legs. Not the most robust Kirin, his speed and ferocity make up for his lack of bulk. There are horns on his eye ridge, and three horns down each of his forelegs.
In human form, Jek is tall, almost 5'10", with a lithe physique. He appears thin and long-limbed, lending favorably to his height. Still albino, his hair is white-blond, and as wavy and unkempt as his mane in Kirin form, granted it is pulled back into a tail at the back of his head. His ears can swivel and are elongated, though they are not fully Kirin ears. His nails are manicured to a point, but short enough not to get in the way of work. He often wears black, and form fitting clothing. When in human form, he ornaments his lower lip with a ball piercing just underneath it. He has full lips and a wide mouth, and his downturned eyes often give him a serious look. His eyelashes are thick and white blond, much like his shapely brows. He has a outwardly curved nose bridge, and a moderate bulb, with narrow nostrils that point down. His jaw is angular, he has high cheekbones, and a prominent brow ridge and chin. He is wide in the shoulders, narrow in the waist and holds himself in strictly good posture. His movements are graceful and fluid. He can dart quickly even in his human form, and retains his strength. He has yet to test his lightning breath in human form.
Personality: Others say Jek is a quiet, competent and punctual man with proper enunciation and a high-minded diction and syntax. Jek just happens to like to do things correctly when he does them. He walks with proper posture, has a fluid gait and learns things with the kind of single-mindedness one would devote to the completion of one's destiny. He has a good sense of humor, a solid grasp on human ethics and morals, as well as the specific laws of Yfrelo.
When Jek becomes defensive, or suspicious of others, he loses the warmth and humor that characterize him as the perfect receptionist, and becomes the cold, calculating killer his race dictates he must be. He is quick, and brutal, and has the kind of stare that communicates all of his hostility. He never sneers or snarls, instead choosing his words carefully and executing them exactly in the proper tones to convey his meaning. When choosing to appear threatening, he will utilize his agility to jar others' perception of where he might be in a room. Seeing as he can cross a room without so much as a whisper, without magic, he can easily become a threat.
History: Jek was born in the wild. When his colors did not change, he became the target of poachers, and ejected from his family unit due to the danger of remaining in their territory. Still a very young kirin, he was rescued from a trap by field magicians. Despite his hostility, he was taken to the college and attempts were made to tame him. Exposure to magic and magicians eventually developed a curiousness in him that, if he promised not to try and gore anyone, would allow him to study in the library.
He met Magnus Septirious during one such library study session and was taken under her wing. It was through her that he learned to shapeshift into human form, but that was the extent of his magical ability in most areas. He was training to be part of her security force when a certain brilliantly smiling individual came along and offered him retirement, medical and vacation days.
Because the college had such an "owner" mentality where Jek was concerned, he was all too happy to turn tail on the college, though he did send a formal letter of apology to Magnus. He became Graham's bodyguard instead and, with the introduction of Samira, now acts as his receptionist, though it is clear to a select few that anyone breaching City Hall will find their final obstacle to be a murderous Kirin. He and Killian are very familiar with each other.
Unlike Killian, Jek was never one to keep his words to himself. Well-spoken and wickedly intelligent, he made it clear he was no one's punching bag, whether or not they'd saved him from being skinned alive.
He, Samira, Graham and Graham's family get along well. He is almost like a brother Graham's daughters never had.

Thread Status: closed
Players involved: kila, haji
Characters involved: Damian (kila), Killian (haji)
Setting: Yfrelo
Time: Morning
Weather: Partly cloudy and slightly chilly
------
The mage in charge of the Enchantment branch of the Mage's College was a curiously benign and very paranoid person. An elf who insisted on being called Master Tinks no matter what event was happening. At some point Cromwell, the headmaster usually in charge of communications, had given up on trying to change the eccentric elf's mind.
Cromwell was bad at communication to say the least.
However, when Master Tinks would get all wound up about a bit or bauble that they had created, there was no stopping them from freaking out about it. (Apparently the college attracted all types of mages, not just the sane ones...as far as Cromwell was concerned.) He couldn't get the elf to leave him alone no matter how hard he tried. And, boy, did he try.
Please have it checked out, the college could be destroyed.
Cromwell, of course, wanted nothing to do with this idiot elf who was out of their mind. So he banged down Magnus's door, yelled some rage-filled gibberish and stormed out, forcing all the papers in her little office to explode into a rain of parchment. Cromwell being in a bad mood was always a delightful way to start the work day. Magnus waved her hands and all the papers flew back where they belonged.
"I think you should check it out, Killian," she said. "I have nothing else for you to do today, sorry."
Killian frowned even though that was his default. He frowned deeper. "This isn't even a threat inside the college, Magnus."
"Off you go. Master Tinks says it's a walking disaster. Wouldn't specify anything else. Just get some fresh air if nothing else."
Killian scowled but obeyed. He disappeared in the shadows and strode out of the huge gaping opening to the cobblestone bridge that lead into the city. Looking for a walking disaster in Yfrelo was like looking for hay in a haystack. With no other description, he would have to rely on intuition, but he had no idea what he was looking for.
He figured it would be better to sit by the gate atop a pillar and just observe. He'd follow any truly unusual "walking disasters" that happened to cross his path. Hopefully nobody would bother him on his stake-out.

Character's Name: Killian
Nicknames: None, but is not opposed to them if acquainted.
Age: 72
Gender: Male
Species: Sphinx
Abilities: Exceptional magical ability in the Arcane Arts, is a magical engineer and specifically utilizes magic in ways to advance society as a whole, though also understands that a Sphinx does not hold much say in humanoid affairs. Supernatural levels of forethought and deduction. Limited telepathy, though only with those he has a close relationship with. This is due to his magical experimentation.
Appearance:
Sphinx:
![[Image: DGCBq5LWsAEt09t.jpg]](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DGCBq5LWsAEt09t.jpg)
Human: Killian has the same brown skin as his sphinx form, though his eyes look more orange than yellow in comparison. He is average height, standing around 5’ 6”, and rarely smiles, as he’s always thinking a step ahead, sometimes more. His nails are sharper and longer than a typical human’s.
Posture lends to that of a scholar. He carries himself with confidence when not hidden in the shadows, and he is nearly indistinguishable from a normal human. The biggest indication is his gold tongue and thin pads on his palms. He tries to keep his hands hidden for this reason, as respect for him typically dwindles once it’s known that he is a sphinx.
Personality: Killian is quiet and direct. He rarely speaks unless he is spoken to first, unless he is playing secretary for Magnus Septirious, the Head of Security at the Mage’s College. He is an adept learner and would rather spend his time gaining more knowledge than going toe to toe with others even though he is fully capable of attack.
He has a sense of guardianship over Magnus and others who work with security and is fiercely protective of those he has chosen to care about. He is slow to trust and even slower to be open about it. He hasn’t had a single relationship that he cared about outside of Magnus, who he sees as a friend and respected colleague.
He is wary of humans and doesn’t expect them to be much different than typical because in his observations, humans are the quickest to act rash and panicked. He does not oozed superiority, but his matter-of-fact way of speaking to others makes him appear arrogant.
He is quite the conversationalist and knows a great deal about many topics. Should he offer a riddle, he is gauging for intelligence regardless of the answer provided. Some might notice how his attitude changes after a conversation of that nature.
History: Killian was born in the Mage’s College during an attempt to allow other magical creatures into the ranks. Yfrelo’s history as a primarily humanoid city lead to such measures being taken, but because some of the mages were intolerant, very few of those attempted integrations went well. Killian’s birth mother refused to take Killian back after he had been handled by humans. She had been unable to clean him herself and lost the delicate bond a sphinx is required to make. He became uninteresting, and she left him at the college to be raised with those humans.
Killian was taken care of because the Head Headmaster at the time took pity. It wasn’t fair to the cub to be abandoned, and a Sphinx was a worthy addition to the college, and didn’t have more feral or sophisticated tendencies like a Sphinx born in their natural lands. It was also an opportunity for research.
And extensive research at that.
Killian’s years as a cub gave him access to untold mountains of information and he soaked it up like a sponge, learning and becoming highly experienced in Arcane magic taught by the instructors at the college. He applied his magic differently than most of the other students only because he was treated like a ticking time bomb in the china shop. Sphinxes were scary because their intelligence was so much more than that of a human’s.
Killian never showed signs of aggression, though he did unlock the ability to shapeshift into a more palatable form: that of a human. He did this to further his studies, however, when he was about forty years old, Magnus Septirious took the position of Head of Security, and offered Killian the respect that he deserved.
Under her watchful eye, he began to experiment on his own with the magical resources he had available to him. He took a liking to the way Magnus handed her job, and grew closer with her as a colleague. They were the same age.
Nine years later, he is a faithful friend and a sort of secretary and bodyguard to Magnus because he has considered her worthy of protection along with all the information they have gathered together. He does, however, thirst for knowledge and the stores are running dry. He has considered moving into a new field of research, but his loyalty is getting in his way.
He is currently at a crossroads, and seeks to alleviate his desire to learn in a constructive way.

Name:
Ursa
Age:
25
Gender:
Female
Species:
Wolf (Enkratis Pack)
Appearance:
Ursa is a wolf of unassuming build. She's rather lean, with legs that seem just a bit too long for her, as though she never quite grew into them, and her ears are much the same. Her pelt is a deep charcoal color, and she looks rather plain from behind. This, however, is far from the truth. Ursa's chest and belly are a shimmering tapestry of blues and purples in all manner of shades, and they shimmer with stars. These colors also stain her cheeks and eyelids, making her eyes appear to sparkle. Her eyes are so blue they appear black, though when she uses her magic they take on a bright white color, and glow brightly. Her tail and front legs are alight with with star patterns and constellations, and are constantly shifting and changing depending on what constellations are visible in the sky above.
The more excited or emotional Ursa gets, the more the colors on her body shift, occasionally even turning towards the red end of the spectrum.
Personality:
Being rather young, Ursa has lived a very charmed life. A very social wolf, she finds a way to get along with everyone, and always has a friendly smile to give and a kind word to say. She's not one to stand on the sidelines and let things pass her by, and firmly believes in taking the proverbial bull by the horns. She can come across as rather stubborn and headstrong at times, and doesn't always think before leaping into action. This comes more from lack of experience than arrogance, and Ursa wants nothing more than to find her place in the pack and contribute. She still has quite a bit of puppy in her, and is quite fond of getting down and dirty in play.
At times Ursa can be very insecure and unsure of herself. She knows she's young, and the words of anyone older than her weigh heavily on her. Her personality is still growing and being shaped, and while she aspires for great things Ursa occasionally struggles to keep her paws on the ground.
Abilities:
Ursa controls time and space, though in very limited amounts. She has what she refers to as "starlight magic". She holds the ability to summon small spheres of light which hover around her and charge energy. These spheres unleash energy as bolts of light, which she refers to as "starbolts", and they can also take animal-like shapes with their bodies completely being created of light. This ability grows stronger at night when the stars are out, as Ursa can draw in cosmic energy to fuel her own power. These spheres of light, as well as the animals they can become, look different at night than they do during the day. Under the cover of darkness, they appear to look like constellations.
As far as her powers over space go, Ursa can open pocket dimensions and travel through them. So long as she's been to a place before, and can picture it clearly in her mind's eye, she can open a portal to take her there. In times of dire need she can even hide in one of these pocket dimensions, though she's unsure for how long.
In addition to this, Ursa is very skilled in divining future events from the stars and planetary movements within them. She is, on occasion, granted visions of the present or future.
History:
Born and raised in the Enkratis pack, Ursa has never had to struggle for anything she needed. Her life has been peaceful and uneventful.

It was a good day for cloud watching.
The sky was the bluest baby-blue Scylla had ever seen, and the clouds above were massive puffy white cotton balls being blown into all sorts of shapes by the north wind. The grass rustled in the breeze, and all of the sheep were happily munching away at all the fresh grass, flowers, and clovers their little sheep hearts could ever hope for. It had been such a peaceful day, in fact, that Scylla had let his mind wander. First he'd made himself a crown of wildflowers in all colors, and wore it on his head proudly. Then he'd made one for Max, who was nowhere to be found. Then again, the beast did look kinda like a sheep, and he'd turn up eventually, so Scylla made two more flower crowns for his mothers. A pink and purple one for Mama Mae and a yellow and white one for Mother Mary. And now that the sun was high in the sky, his stomach was beginning to rumble.
It was time to eat!
Seated on a tall rock with a great vantage of the mountain meadow, and the massive flock of sheep, Scylla opened his pack and grabbed his lunch. "I wonder what Mama packed me today?" He exclaimed, his small hands making short work of the cloth wrapping that housed his lunch. A chunk of hard sheep's cheese, an apple, a fresh roll with herb butter, and some of the leftover leek and potato stew from the night before had been tenderly packed for him, with a small piece of parchment that read, "Have a good day, sweetie! Love Mama and Mom".
He dug into the cheese with gusto, holding it in both hands and tearing off pieces with his sharp teeth. It was hard, but immensely flavorful, and his favorite cheese in the whole world! Not that he was biased because he helped make it or anything, not at all, but he'd been raised on sheep's milk cheese, and to him nothing was better. "Max c'mon! Lunchtime!" Scylla shouted, his voice carrying through the mountains. A bark echoed back, and it wasn't long before the furry head of Max came bounding through the sheep. Tearing off a chunk of cheese, Scylla threw the rest into the air, where Max caught it with a deft leap. He settled down next to his master, and Scylla ruffled his plush white fur while smiling from ear to ear.
With roll in hand, he took an enormous bite out of it and gazed down at the flock below. It was such a peaceful day, and he could take all the time in the world to enjoy himself.
After all, what could possibly go wrong?

How about the idea of magical pearls named after celestial bodies that could allow users to wield magic that would traditionally be outside of their own abilities? Like Elemental stones, but much more pure, raw concentrated power. It is the condensation of pure magical energy into one small object.
Examples would be...
- Sun Pearl - Allows the wielder to harness the power of light and healing magic. Staring at it too long could make your eyes sore. ... Stop staring at it!
- Moon Pearl -Allows the wielder to harness the power of darkness and destructive magic. Holding onto it feels... comforting. You almost don't want to put it down.
- Mercury Pearl - Allows the wielder to harness the power of water and ice magic. It's freezing cold and damp to the touch. It might soak your clothes, so be careful!
- Venus Pearl - Allows the wielder to harness the power of earth, rock/metal, and nature magic. It smells like fresh cut grass after a storm, and it feels like... Mud? Gross.
- Earth Pearl - Allows the wielder to harness the power of gravity magic. It feels like you've got the weight of the world in your hands.
- Mars Pearl - Allows the wielder to harness the power of fire, heat, and lava magic. This one might burn a hole through your pocket. Literally.
- Jupiter Pearl - Allows the wielder to harness the power of wind, air, and lightning magic. It feels like you're holding a cool autumn breeze. And an electrical socket.
- Saturn Pearl - Allows the wielder to harness the power of time magic. This lecture seems to be taking a long time. Are those... Liver spots?
- Uranus Pearl - Allows the wielder to harness the power of arcane magic. You can't help but think about all those failed math classes while holding it.
- Neptune Pearl - Allows the wielder to harness the power of spirit magic. Wait, did dad lie about your home-made cookies being his favorite?
- Pluto Pearl - Allows the wielder to harness the power of necromancy. Max! You didn't run away while I was at summer camp!
- Ceres Pearl - Allows the wielder to harness the power of feral magic. If you knew what the bluebirds sing, you would never sing along.
- Pallas Pearl - Specifically allows the wielder to summon portals to specific cities and towns. I need to type in the coordinates to our home world, Morty. Cover me.
- Juno Pearl - Only available for purchase in sets of two. It allows the wielders to contact eachother across continents instantly. Colloquially called "Gossip stones" in many areas. These all have a certain amount of time they can be used, instead of number of uses (Think of it like it's a phone, but ~magical~). Boing-oing! Only 24:00 remaining!
- Vesta Pearl - Specifically allows the wielder to enchant containers to be larger inside than they are outside. Even after the Pearl breaks, the enchantments will remain. Greatly recommended for fashionistas with many outfits, or for Moms On The Go™
- Chiron Pearl - Specifically allows the wielder to contact an individual in the afterlife. These Pearls are one-use only, cannot be refilled with magic, and are incredibly hard to find. The smaller the Pearl, the more likely you are to speak to a random ghost. As they say in TV, I'm sure there's one big question on everybody's mind, and I imagine you are the man to answer that. How is Elvis, and have you seen him lately.
The Celestial Pearls are all based off celestial bodies, and visually, they would look like said celestial body with a magical sigil or seal encasing it, and embroidered in fancy metalwork. Each Celestial Pearl would be a similar color to the power associated with it, like bright reds and oranges for the Mars Pearl, cool icy blues for the Mercury Pearl, etc. Small pearls are approximately the size of a cherry, medium pearls are around the size of a kiwi fruit, large pearls are about the size of a grapefruit
Standard Pearls wouldn't be one-use only (unless otherwise stated), but rather it would depend on the size of the pearl itself (Small x2-3 uses, Medium x5 uses, Large x8-10 uses?? maybe??).
After all the magic within it is used up, it shatters into a number of pieces. You can have magic re-infused into them, but only by a powerful magic user of that magic-type, which doesn't always come cheap. Or safely. Characters could either buy a refill from the shop at a price cheaper than the initial pearl, or they could (with permission from an admin) refill it via an RP with a magic-user. After each refill, it would shatter into more shards than the last time, making it less convenient to put together. After its final use, it explodes into a fine glittery powder that is impossible to put together again.
The rarer types of magic would also have harder to find pearls, thus they would be more expensive. A Uranus Pearl that allows Arcane magic would be much cheaper than, say, a Neptune Pearl that allows spirit magic. In the same vein, it would be much more expensive to restore the magic in a Neptune Pearl, because master spirit magic-users are hard to come across. You'll likely be able to find an abundance of Moon Pearls in underground markets and other places degenerates gather.
They would be more powerful than traditional elemental stones. While an Earth Stone could be used to fertilize your herb garden, a Venus Pearl could allow you to summon a wall of rock to defend yourself with; A Fire stone can heat up your stovetop, but a Mars Pearl would be able to hold its own against a mage of similar strength.
Also, don't feel too attached to the names! They could be named after Gods and Goddesses, Champions, whoever first created these magic types, or anything really.
A possible origin story could be...
1) a legend where Nialle, goddess of magic, saw a non-magical being struggle to defend itself and wept tears that fell to the earth below and formed pearls.
or
2) an incredibly paranoid, powerful magic user was terrified of their presence being forgotten, so they spent the last of their days focusing their energy into an endless amount of pearls until they withered away and died.
3) in areas untouched by sentient beings, the planet's energy began to condense into small pearls. through nature, they are moved from the deepest depths of the ocean to shores, from far beyond the travelled road to the safe edge of forests.
There are a finite* number of Pearls, unless Plot Things Happen and a currently living magical being is able to recreate the process used to bring them into existence. If/when Plot Things Happen, the cost of Pearls will go down exponentially, hopefully. Unless the person who discovers this technique is a jerkface.
*If origin #3 is chosen, there would be pearls that naturally occur, but it would happen slowly, over the course of anywhere from months to decades, and not be an overnight thing.

Character's Name:
Scylla
Nicknames:
None
Age:
20
Gender:
Male
Species:
Kelahati / Death Demon hybrid
Abilities:
Scylla is a very unremarkable fighter. He's young and inexperienced, with a lot to learn. While he can defend himself from brigands and thugs, against anyone with more than basic training, Scylla is outmatched. He's quick on his feet, at the very least, and slightly stronger than the average human. His senses are sharp, particularly sight, hearing, and smell.
He possesses an immense amount of magic, sealed away by the weapon he carries on him at all times. When the axe breaks, it unleashes his demonic magic, which takes the form of earth and time magic. This allows him to see the course of immediate events and actions, allowing him to read his opponent and avoid or counter their moves. His earth magic can shatter boulders, and perhaps even mountains when he gets older, but for now this magic is a last resort, meant to keep him alive.
Like all kelahati, Scylla has a natural way with animals, and is particularly gifted in talking to them. He also has an uncanny knowledge of the earth and soil, knowing when each field is most fertile, or even how to make it more fertile.
Appearance:
Scylla is a small boy, standing at about 5'4" tall and hardly weighing much at all, with a slender build that doesn't seem to display much muscle in spite of the work he does. His complexion is very fair, almost pure white, with palest pink undertones. His large, cat-like eyes are an ice blue color. His hair is shaggy and two-toned, with the right half being white and the left half being an ash-brown color. Only a few features mark his kelahati lineage: he has the ears and tail of a snow leopard, and his arms, legs, and back are covered in the same spots as the animal. In spite of this, his flock does not fear him, nor do the humans of his village.
He wears simple clothes, a plain white shirt and basic cream colored trousers. Perhaps the most extravagant clothes he wears are his jacket, a pale grey color with a black fur collar, trimmed bronze embroidery and buttons, and his knee-high grey leather boots. He wears a small pair of glasses on his head that function as binoculars, allowing him to scan the distance for any coming trouble. He wears a black and brass scarf around his tail, just in case it gets chilly.
The axe he carries also acts as a staff, with a long slender handle. The blade of the axe is rather small, and really only useful for chopping wood and fending off wild beasts. However, the entire weapon seems to glitter, and acts as a seal to contain his magic.
He appears as a rather unremarkable snow leopard, no different from the other of his kin, save for a pair of horns atop his head and particularly large paws with claws.
Personality:
Little older than a teen, Scylla has a lot to learn about the outside world. He knows he's a kelahati, but has never been mistreated by the humans in his village. This has made him a little too trusting of other humans, and he's unaware of the distrust other humans harbor in their hearts. A very friendly and sweet child, Scylla is quick to make friends, and does his best to see the good in people. He enjoys helping others, and can often be found around his village helping others with their chores, as he can't seem to sit still for very long. This extra energy never seems to go away, and Scylla finds it hard to focus when he has nothing to do, so he finds ways to keep himself busy.
As the son of two farmers, Scylla is very independent. He has a good work ethic, and doesn't half-ass a job. If he's going to do something, it's going to be done right. Though in spite of this, his mind does tend to wander while he's out tending to the sheep, as not much happens in his sleepy little mountain village.
He can come across as rather simple at times, not having much in the way of a formal education. While he can read and write some, he finds it boring, and would rather be with the animals than inside learning. He can often be rather blunt, and while not malicious in intent, Scylla often speaks without thinking. His independence has also given him a little too much confidence, and he's prone to taking unnecessary risks (often for good reasons). This has lead him to fall off many roofs, and thankfully hasn't caused him too much harm.
History:
Scylla was found by two human women on the outskirts of their village. He was just a baby, swaddled in furs, and no one knew where he'd come from. Unable to have children of their own, Mary and Mae took him in and raised Scylla as their own. His childhood was happy and uneventful, and when he began to take care of his mothers' flock he was given Max to help keep them safe. Scylla has never left his village, and knows little of the outside world.
