Name: Seth
Race: Sky Elf
Height: 6' 3"
Age: 137
Magical abilities:
Seth has fairly broad magical abilities, namely he can summon and control fire and lightning, shaping it into almost limitless shapes and forms to fit his needs.
Seth is old, and has an almost encyclopedic knowledge of many kinds of magic, that of course doesn't mean he can USE any kind of magic, he just knows about and understands most forms of it.
Weapon/weapons of choice:
After the fall Seth has no weapons whatsoever, when the castle was attacked Seths' weapons were left in his chamber, and he had no chance to retrieve them.
His chosen weapons are dual swords, and eventually he will obtain another pair to replace the ones he lost.
Natural abilities:
Seth has no natural abilities apart from his intelligence and the gifts bestowed by his race, which are of course shared by all Sky Elves;
He is very fast and agile, able to jump high and far, he also has very keen eyes and ears.
Finally, Seth has lightning reflexes partly due to his race, and partly through his many years of fighting and training.
Background:
Seths' background is extensive, and stretches more than 100 years, but a brief (and I use the term loosely) history of his life could be summed up as follows:
Born in the Sky elven capital of Veloria, Seths' father was a temple guard and was killed when the city was invaded by the Dark Elves when Seth was only months old. During the attack Seth was taken by his mother away from Veloria, though she herself was mortally wounded in the escape.
Seth was raised in the white city of Aruhman after his mothers death, but left when he was little more than twenty, most of his life was spent as a mercenary under the control of a man named Valdion. His partner for much of this time was none other than the now maniacal Yarha-Nage, who never forgave Seth for leaving the tower, an act that Yarha-Nage considered betrayal.
Seth left the tower and his mercenary life behind when a contract ordered the killing of an old man; Alana's grandfather.
Seth refused to kill the man, but the contract was carried out by Yarha-Nage, leaving the girl with nobody. From then, and for some time afterward Seth protected her, seeing it as his responsibility to look after her in the absence of her grandfather.
Even after leaving his mercenary life behind, Seth was plagued by sporadic challenges from the frog-knight Jym, whose city was razed by the warlock many years before, and who swore revenge upon Seth.
Seth and Alana were separated some years before he crated his castle in an ambush, little is known by him of what happened to Alana after this, but Seth lived on thinking he had let her die.
Several more years of wandering alone lay before him, until Seth finally created his castle and drew the other heroes to him, inadvertently reuniting with Jym and Alana in the process.
Many small adventures came their way while at the castle (See www.ultimatemagus.proboards36.com to view the old VCFL storylines) until finally, Yarha-Nages' latest attack fell, which is detailed in "The Fall" thread on this very forum.
Of course, that doesn't detail everything he's done, but gives a good idea of Seths' past so far, sorry it's so long!
Appearance:
Seth is tall and slender, his face appears in my avatar.
Seth is reasonably muscled, and in good shape maintained by constant training; he always has an air of confidence, having almost never found an opponent he could not best.
Seth is usually found wearing simple pants and boots with a chain-mail shirt, often a long cloak, and usually a hood. Seth also usually wears a pair of simple leather gloves.
After the fall Seth has nothing but a pair of deep blue pants and his boots, his armor and other gear was lost in the castle.
