Member of the 6
°
Occupation:
He used to be the manpower at his father's farm, working to plough the fields, sow the seeds and harvest the crops at the end of the seasons. He also runs his father's shop and sells their produce to passing travellers.
°
Ability/Power:
{Energy Manipulation}
He can manipulate different types of energy around him and generally bends his mana, and the mana around him to best suit his needs in the moment, giving him extra perks/boosts as he needs them by aligning affinities.
°
His go to affinities are Wind/Air which lighten his weight and grant a speed boost, and Earth which gives him increased durability and a mimic ability close to super strength. Plant will make medicines or others healing abilities twice as effective and so on.
°
He can use his energy manipulation to diverge or alter attacks intended courses (for example: a fireball, water blade, lightning bolts etc) aimed at him can be diverged to veer more left and completely miss and can even alter the course of more physical attacks such as earth and plant.
°
-NOTE: He cannot send most attacks back (with the exception of air, water and occasionally fire if it isn't too hot.) and cannot hold an attack or energy form for very long before he takes damage from it. The longest he could hold a full blown attack for before having to send it off to lower risk of lasting damage is roughly around 2.5 seconds. He can extend this time by altering his energy to gain earth perks and increasing his durability, therefore raising the time limit to a rough estimate of 4 seconds.
°
-NOTE: He presently cannot have two affinities at the same time. He can however alter between them if the needed elements are nearby with ease and as many times as required.
°
Occasionally he can tap into life energy and temporarily knock people out, which has helped in escalated situations around his father's farm, although his closest affinity is earth, gaining him the ability mimicking super strength and increased durability.
°
Apperance:
He stands at 6'7 with a heavily toned/muscular built body, his skin an evenly spread tan from his countless hours in the fields. His jawline is sharp with some very well defined cheekbones, above giving way to steely ice blue eyes that almost resemble silver in ice with its sparkly blue sheen. His hair is semi long and naturally wavy, almost curly, at a length that sits just slightly above his shoulders. His hair is platinum blonde, almost white, as his mother's was, although he has black that runs around the edges of each strand, giving an almost snowy owl colour pallete to his hair. His nose is crooked down the ridge from an altercation he had as a teenager causing it to break and never heal back straight as it had been. He has a steady stream of freckles that faintly line his upper cheeks and across his nose, they're only very slightly darker than his tanned skin so they're much more apparent in bright lit areas or under the sun. He has a thin-ish line of stubble which makes his face have a gently prickly feel to it if someone strokes it. His hands are rough and calloused from constant grip of the hard wood handles of his father's farm tools and his nails are slightly long, often gaining a gathering of dirt beneath them. He cares not for bright elegant or fancy clothing or accessories, so he is often found wearing rather worn down tunics with some wear and tear, as well as trousers that have permanent dirt stains from kneeling in the dirt almost daily. His shoes are often swapped as he tends to wear through them rather quick, so more often than not he may just avoid wearing them completely. (His feet have a hard coating from his constant traversing along gravelly and dirt made roads, so he feels minimal pain or discomfort when wandering these surfaces.) He often has a brown cloak with a hood attached for when he travels to sell produce, the trim of the hood usually decorated by lovely fluffy brown rabbit fur to give it an extra bit of flair. He had rather avoided it but his mother had insisted.

Personality:
Silver is a fairly laid back man, he takes much pride in his work rather than himself and his appearance. He can be described as being rather selfless as he constantly puts others before himself and makes sure that everyone's needs are met before worrying for himself, a habit he picked up from his upbringing. He enjoys humming tunes to himself as he travels or works and gains somewhat of an attachment to plants and animals he comes across. As a very dedicated and hard working individual, he can sometimes find it difficult, embarrassing or rather to attempt casual conversation with people he is not conducting business with. Friends have never been a strong suit for him. He believes in results through hard tough labour and strongly agrees the rewards that follow are almost more than worth it. He is incredibly optimistic at times although occasionally he may let this slip amidst a big problem or situation. He tries to avoid conflict wherever possible hense his encounters during his teen years as he always sticks up for other people, generally using his height as a one up on people although he nearly never raises a fist to anybody. He is very strong minded and strong willed, and despite his self less and kind nature, he holds the intelligence and the knowledge knowing if he must do something, HE CAN. (Father ain't raise a B-)
°
Hobbies:
During his free time, he loves to carve wooden animals out of random pieces of wood he finds along his travels and either gives them as gifts to people he knows or sells them for a little extra coin every now and then.
°
He is very knowledgeable in the art of dance as he was taught young by his mother, sometimes if he came across a festival in a nearby town he would attempt to include the townspeople to all dance and have fun together.
°
Strengths:
Silver's height can be used as an advantage in many different scenarios, whether attempting to intimidate somebody, or reach something high up. He extra height and body build has also added weight so when people attempt to tackle him or try to throw a punch, he is generally unphased if it's from the neck down. (Of course... With the exception of one place.)
°
His selfless and kind side has given him an insight to many people's feelings, so often he can easily relate to people and give advice where needed. This allows people to give him their trust easily and he protects that trust with his life.
°
His energy manipulation can be incredibly useful at protecting others by altering attack directions or acting as a distraction to give time for thought of a get away or even time to simply get everyone to safety.
°
Weaknesses:
His selflessness can easily be taken advantage of, he constantly wishes to see the best in people and believes people can be better if they truly try, this leaves him open and vulnerable for manipulation. (The irony.)
°
His height. Very easily intimidates people whether he intends it to or not. He loves being around children and is a fan of the boisterous energy they have but they scare easily, leaving him feeling like a bit of a monster.
°
His ability almost entirely depends on an outside source to work, meaning he cannot use his own mana to produce his own attacks of his choosing, there must always be some form of that mana affinity around for him to alter his own affinity to create those kind of attacks. (EX: There must be a fire or other heat source around for him to alter his mana to allow him to create fire based attacks.)

Backstory:
Sylvester grew up on the Montgomery family farm, run by both his parents and overlooked by his grandparents. The farm itself spread over roughly 5 acres where Sylvester, Flynn and his family would often man the fields themselves, working tirelessly day and night to plant, grow and harvest food to feed themselves and to sell to others for a living. They did house a single family horse to which had no name but it had a clear fondness for Sylvester's younger brother, Flynn. Around the age of 9, there was a raid nearby by bandits who burned and stole what they could see from their town, their sights eventually falling to the Montgomery Farm. Flynn and Emily, Sylvester's mother, were hauled away in the back of an overloaded wagon which was surrounded and escorted along by heavily armed and dangerous bandits. Sylvester and his father scraped all the savings together they could find to rebuild the farm, having heard nothing from his Grandparents since before the raid. For years until the present day, Sylvester had run the farm alongside his father until his father's aging body began to deteriorate, forcing him to retire and leave the hard work and labour to his son while he saw to tending the house and organising sales/errands for Sylvester to complete on his behalf. Sylvester barely remembers the faces of his Mother and Brother, only their names and their stand out features, his Mother's snow white hair and his brothers striking golden amber eyes, and while he does still hold hope that they are alive and well elsewhere, he still refuses to leave his father alone to attempt locating them off of a small hope and dream that he might reunite with them once again.
°
Other: He is a Biromantic Asexeual, so Sylvester likes both boys or girls in a romantic sense, but hardly anything beyond that in this current time.
°
His favourite flower are almost any form of Lillies, same as his mother's.
°
His favourite foods are anything sweetly baked such as breads, cakes, cookies or other delicious treats. (He is often used to eating and surviving off of plants, fruits, veges and the occasional piece of meat. Dessert foods are almost a once in a lifetime occurrence to him.)

I may add or change some things but for now, here's lovely Sylvester..!
