And must I even say..[/i] [i]...I am more than willing to bring those outcomes."[/i][/quote] --------------------------- [b]Name:[/b] Gideon Pavus Fenderan [b]Sex:[/b] Male [b]Age:[/b] 281 [b]Species/Race:[/b] Elf [url=http://img09.deviantart.net/4c84/i/2016/027/2/c/solas___trespasser_by_formisvoid-d9jrt0e.jpg][b]Physique:[/b][/url] Gideon is unique, at least in terms of physical condition - unlike most mages, who are slim, weak, not athletic or all three, he is actually somewhat fit, maintaining a lean yet highly athletic body. He is built for speed and long-term sprinting, due to both his peak condition and his stature of five feet and eleven inches tall. His skin is a lightly tanned color, smooth yet slightly rugged due to his life within the outdoors. Upon his right forearm is a coiled dragon tattoo, black in color and designed flawlessly: the tattoo itself is decorated with intricate Elven symbols and signs, hidden within the dragon's body and eyes. Gideon's facial structure suggests an intelligence, as it is sharp and angular in design. His head is a shaven bald, his ears representing his elfhood by being long and sharp, like daggers protruding from his head. Gideon's eyes are a vibrant blue color, like the oceans east of Caelia. He also has a slight scar upon his forehead. [b]Personality/Quirks:[/b] Peaceful, thoughtful, and yet, one who seeks judgement for those who have committed sin - Gideon is no warmonger, as he is in a constant search for a pathway for a relatively perfect world. He is intelligent and takes things slowly, considering every option in his disposal before acting. That does not mean that he is merciful, however. Gideon also has an odd hatred for Elves, even though he is one. Perhaps one day, this shall be revealed.. [b]Equipment:[/b] [url=https://cdna.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/001/771/538/large/ewa-labak-laska.jpg?1452517048][b]Corrupted Drake Staff:[/b][/url] The staff that Gideon uses as a catalyst for his magic is long corrupted by an ancient curse - originally a staff belonging to a legendary warlock who studied and protected dragonkind from fearful humans and elves, it has been infested by a deep blood-colored rocky substance, bounded to it for the remainder of its existence. Even Gideon isn't aware of what the corruption is, although he is more than knowing of its darkness. The staff itself is made of an old alloy of titanium, allowing it to be considerably strong yet heavy as well. The intended grip is wrapped with darkened leather to comfort one's handling of the weapon, while the end of the staff is a jagged point, sharpened by Gideon to form a double-bladed spearhead intended for slashes and stabs in the case that he needs to assault in melee combat. The head of the staff is shaped into a dragon's roaring headpiece, its maw widened af revealing a glistening red crystal where it's tongue should be. Here, the catalyst of the staff is formed, as spells will originate from this point.

The armor set itself consists of a first layer of steel alloy, covering Gideon's chest, stomach and side regions from harm. His left arm is encased within a skin-tight layer of chain mail when equipped, while steel plate covers his left forearm, palm and shoulder, serving as a pauldron. The right arm is extremely powerful, crafted from a titanium alloy and extraordinarily strong. It serves as a pauldron, while both allowing major defense against swords and such and something that Gideon may use to literally punch his foes with. A chestpiece of titanium alloy also covers his chest region, protecting his vitals and ribs from injury. The crimson robes of the armor go down to his knees, while wool insulates him underneath the armor to provide heat. The enchantments placed upon the armor both lighten it significantly, allowing Gideon to move quickly while being considerably tanky as well, at least against melee weaponry. An energy shield consisting of generated magic can emit from the right arm, which eats away and literally devours what meets it, unless it is biological. If it is a magical projectile, it can be stored inside and used later. The enchantments also increase Gideon's strength considerably, although he isn't the damn Hulk. [b]Abilities:[/b] A mage in origin, and due to his upbringings within the mountains of Caelia, Gideon is exceptionally capable of magic involving the usage of spirits and the realms beyond ours, alongside controlling the earth frequently. Using these capabilities, he is able to serve as a colossal force upon the battlefield: ripping apart his foes with stone and ravaging their armies with summoned spirits, while supporting his allies with constricts of earth and shields of spirit essence. Total MP - 7,500 -Spirit Spells- •Projectiles - No MP These projectiles are fired from the catalyst within Gideon's staff, scorching their foes and burning through light armor. •Faded Shielding - 300 MP Per Shield Gideon covers his allies with durable shields of magic, which deflect melee hits, spells, natural effects, bullets depending on their rounds, and more damage. These shields are not invincible, but they are considerably powerful. •Spiritual Guidance - 550 MP Gideon asks for the insight of the spirits that have passed onwards, as he is then blessed with knowledge - he is revealed with information about his combatant's weaponry, armor, magical abilities, and locations. •Releasing Spirits - 725 MP Gideon summons a singular Pheronite warrior, one who he had released from a curse long ago. This Pheronite stands at seven feet tall and is mute, wielding a jagged sword and a hardy shield alongside durable armor. It is stronger than the average being, yet can be banished if struck by wounds that would kill a regular being. •Consumption: Gideon's left hand glistens with raw energy, as he grabs his foes in close-range combat and consumes their energy. From this, he regains 500 MP and, if the target is knowledgeable with magic, will learn one of their spells. I'll try to keep this selection as randomized as possible, so that he doesn't get an apocalyptic spell (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵) -Earth Abilities- Gideon's earthly abilities are not measured by spells, but by their capacity. If they are small, then not much MP is required. Larger spells will require much more effort from him, and as such, more MP. Small-scale Earth Manipulation (pebbles, small-medium sized rocks) - 5-50 MP Apprentice-leveled Earth Manipulation (rocks, larger stones, and controlling dust) - 51-200 MP Adept Earth Manipulation (larger stones, small boulders, and shifting the earth slightly) - 201-500 Intense Earth Manipulation (boulders, shaking the earth, golems, and raising the earth) - 501 to 2000. [b]Faction:[/b] NDF. [b]Backstory:[/b] Learn it, cuck. [b]Additional:[/b] •Oddly fond of classic rock music, in contrast to his love of peace. •Usually spends his time meditating.
