Male

Role:

Wolf Member

Appearance:

Well-defined is Leko’s face, with a soft heart type structure. His cheekbones reign moderately high, while his jawline is just short of severe. Running further down, rather than narrowing into a more pointed form, his chin gently rounds. There could be times one could catch Leko’s face lined with a subtle stubble - actually, most of the time one could find just a touch of stubble residing on Leko. The greatest flaw of Leko facial wise though is the purplish tinted bags of an ever present exhaustion resting beneath his contrastingly lively eyes. These eyes, while possessing a predatory type appearance, possess darker faintly curled lashes atop, while the bottom lashes are a bit thinner. The color that makes for the spectacle in his eyes is that of a vibrant teal-ish blue, with prominent flecks and streaks of silver that are easily seen when they glint in the right light. Above these alluring orbs sit eyebrows that are of an average thickness at the beginning, while they form a slight arch just short of the midpoint before lightly thinning at the ends.

His nose is merely average, and dare be said to have a soft button type roundness to it. Below rests an easily defined cupid's bow, adding a flare of definition to his facial front. While his upper lip is rather thin, straight, and lacking much personality, his bottom lip has a visible, light pout. These lips fair in the tone of a lighter peach. His ears retain a more pointed figure, though they are of perfect size to complement that of which makes up his facial structure and the shape of his head.

Shorter but full sits the lightly curled, dirty blonde head of ringlets Leko possesses. A near ombre of light browns and dustier blondes make up his shades of hair, though these colors easily flow into one another rather well. Tapering down to the nape of his neck and both behind and barely over his ears, they handsomely thin, though that light curl is vastly evident. A few more wispy curls curtain his forehead, though none are long enough to brave past his eyebrows to impair his vision.

When it comes to build, Leko’s is that of a more proportional rectangular type figure. His shoulders are perhaps not the broadest (having more of a slope to them in all reality), but they square near evenly with his hips that are straighter versus narrowing. At a height of an almost even 6 feet -a smidge shorter if we’re being honest here-, the more athletically built stance he holds is easy to see. Toning fares in his biceps, abdomen, thighs, and calves. The parts of his body that do without a complimentary show of light muscle are thinner, but not frail in appearance. Overall his skin tone can be regarded as fairing on the warmer side, though he does possess a touch of more neutral olive undertones. It is a color that stays rather sun-kissed looking all year round, with the exception of a more defined tan-esque color in the summer. The Mark Leko bares is that of black-tinted veins located solely on his back. They do creep up a bit towards the nape of his neck and tops of his shoulders, but his hair and clothing usually conceal the unsettling sight.

As per the dressage he’s inherently ‘required’ to wear on special occasions, Leko was far from shy when it came to… bedazzling, if you will, his attire. A deep ocean-esque navy blue is the dominant color of the more jacket type cloak he garbs himself in. On both this cloak and his disapprovingly thin mask, silver and golden colored rhinestones stylishly swirl on both pieces of attire. Considering the kind of entity Leko is, it would be a sore misjudgment to even remotely think that the rhinestones were anything less than the real precious metals they appear to be.

Weaponry:

Does advanced skills in the art of bullshitting count? How about persuasion? Leko's mouth is the only weapon he can wield expertly. The only other ace up his sleeve would be his skills in deception, dumb luck, and the usage of his ability. The young man grew up with little need to take up arms or physical weapons of any kind to get by. As a more or less weasely entity, Leko has found it in his best interest to simply learn how to avoid confrontation with those with weapons versus learning how to counter them with other weapons. This most likely makes the most novice combatant in the group, but what he lacks in this particular area he at least makes up for in excelling in other various things.

Ability:

Illusions:

Leko’s ability is rather complex in its own right, considering the depths it could go. On the surface, it’s easiest for Leko to toy with small-scale uses of his ability; giving the illusion of something being a different color, making it appear as if something -or someone- is there, or even changing his own appearance entirely. For the most part, Leko is limited by both his focus and imagination… though it’s the focusing part he struggles with. As a man with a highly active imagination though, it’s only his control that hinders the possibility his power entails. Leko is currently undergoing the mastery of his illusions affecting a human’s five senses: the illusion of touch or sensations being the most difficult for him (things such as pain too), are something he has the least control over. In some ways, Leko’s ability is quite dangerous, especially should he lose his grip of control over it. But that’s what practice is for, right? Leko’s illusions are most volatile when he’s influenced by emotions, fear, or stress. They also happen to be the most powerful in those moments without his control though.

Personality:

Eccentric | Flamboyant | Snarky | Greedy | Impish | Curious | Packed Full Of Never-Ending Energy | Lively | Humorous | Manipulative | Cunning | Tends To Talk To Himself A Bit | Childish | Unconventional | Emotional | Deeply Caring (Of Those He Adores) | Flirtatious | Protective | Ultimate Wildcard | Takes Few Things Seriously | Weaselly | Trickster | Mouthy Beyond Reason (Gets Him Into Trouble Often) | Amiable | Absolute Social Butterfly | Resourceful | Recklessly Impulsive | Hard On Himself | Careful With Trust | Loyal | Arbitrary | Persuasive | Optimist

-People Smart

Weaknesses:

-Can't Defend Himself With a Real Weapon To Save His Life

-A Bit Too Mouthy For His Own Good

-His Greed Tends To Get The Best Of Him

Backstory:

Leko knew nothing but making ends meet amid a life of poverty along the outskirts of the kingdom's capital city. His father was a butcher, and his mother was well versed in the art of sewing… leaving Leko to search for entertaining pastimes elsewhere. Whenever the boy managed to find his way into the capital, he was always blown away at the things he witnessed; merchants talking wealthy men and women into buying knock off relics, or the street magicians that hustled noblemen out of money with card games. Leo was drawn to the art of deceit, and theft; he wanted everything he could never have. And that desire fueled the boy to begin stealing, learning how to construct games only he could win on the streets, and so much more.

A few times Leko was caught for his actions, and came rather close to facing serious consequences before managing to slip away. After the storm came and went, unfortunately, his household failed poorly. Losing both parents within two days was difficult to endure, but life quickly went back to normal for the conman soon after in his attempt to avoid dealing with his grief, though he was unfortunately arrested after being caught ‘for the last time’. The prison sentence he was facing had been quite daunting, considering it included being hung for his crimes and his mark - being accused of being an ‘other’. But it wasn’t until a night before he was supposed to face the consequences of his actions that he discovered his ability to cast illusions - so well that when the guards came looking for him, it had appeared as if he merely vanished into thin air, when he had simply woven the illusion of his surroundings over him, and he slipped away. It was then that Leko knew he was truly ‘other’ and would be wanted for more than his schemes, leaving him to flee the immediate area.

For a while, Leko merely breezed through city after city. Slowly learning how to better use his ability for his own personal gains, and by the graces of whatever patron of trickery there was did his conning get even sweeter with his newfound ability. The name ‘Mage’ began to float around the kingdom, people warning of a crafty, faceless magician who was sure to swindle you for your money. Some people were mystified by the tales that began to weave their way into the kingdom, mostly in part to Leko’s gossiping skills. Mage was a mysterious figure loathed by the religious and the knight force though - as surely they were simply an ‘other’ further corrupting the kingdom. It wasn’t until Leko circled back closer to the capital city that he had inadvertently hustled no other than the former prince himself out of a fair amount of money one night, and was recruited to join the prince’s group. Leko was not one to jump at the opportunity, more so finding the idea burdensome to his lifestyle, and yet he decided he wanted to be on any force opposing the knightly brats he feverishly enjoyed beating time and time again. And of course equality for his people and all that fun stuff… but advancing the cat and mouse game he played with authority spoke to his trickier nature. Despite Leko’s qualities though, he swore himself to the group - and his loyalty will remain unwavering.

Appearance:

[credits to Mano! @ picrew.me]

Valente's aura is strangely light and comforting, with no sense of hostility in it. Some state that it feels like you're being lovingly embraced, as if a pair of arms are hugging you affectionately. His face always has an anguish appearance, even when alone. In public, it's even worse, as his cheeks would always have a red pigmentation to them. He has the presence of a loving guardian, one that many want to be around. Those he's close with, he'll stare at them with tenderness and assurance, his body unknowingly relaxing. Val's aura tends to draw the ones wanting an escape from drama, giving them a break from needless stress. Able to soothe anyone from their rage or lighten one's sullied spirits. He doesn't mind them being close as long as they don't touch or try to start a conversation with him, preferring to hang out with people quietly. This dude is a complete angel, with his anger seeming nonexistent. Rarely he gets upset unless someone says something insulting to him or those he's close with. When that happens, his entire demeanor will shift into something much darker.

His body is a hulking form of muscles, the texture of his skin smooth to the touch, with little to no skin bumps of any kind on it. The color of his skin is a beautiful shade of brown. He has one singular tattoo that covers his shoulders, arms, behind his neck, and back. While partially covering the sides of his neck (his throat untouched by ink) and chest (leaving the stomach uninked). Val focuses on physical strength, only lifting weights or exercising when he's away from the eyes of others. He'll be too self-conscious about people teasing him about how he works out, so he prefers training in isolation. He has a broad chest, and beneath it is a visible eight-pack with no sign of body hair on either. He has rounded, well-formed shoulders, seemingly carved by a master sculptor. Under said shoulders are a set of sturdy arms with curvaceous muscles, his veins somewhat exposed when he relaxes his arms. More of his veins will show when he's using his body in extreme physical cases, like lifting weights or carrying something. His body is detailed to the brim from the neck down. Honestly, he should be a sports player or a model. Val's back is a beautiful canvas for onlookers, with the addition of dimples on his lower back. His legs are robust from the hip down as he never skips leg day. Each time he walks, you can see the power in his steps. Or you would if expressed confidence in his stance for once. With his figure, he's specialized in strength, durability, and stability, making him a fearsome opponent to face in battle. However, he has limited stamina and slow than those trained in those skills, so anyone can outrun or last longer than him. With his appearance, he accidentally scares people who don't know much about him, with them seeing him as an intimidating person to approach, and it doesn't help that his height is 6'2 either. Once they know him more, he'll be viewed as a cuddly bear.

His face is mesmerizing to both men and women, being beautiful to the men and handsome to the women. His face is the perfect balance of masculine and feminine, not leaning heavily to either side. He has a calm, approachable, and relentless face. His cheekbones are partially exposed, his cheeks a healthy gaunt, leaving a straight slope down to the jaw. He has a narrow forehead, and his temples are somewhat evident. Val's face is magnetizing, with many can't help but stare, yet some people are unphased by it. His face is triangular, with the top half of his head wide than the lower. Those who adore his facial appearance nicknamed him Angel Face, which makes him even more bashful each time he hears it. His jawline is free of facial hair, underneath said jaw being a strapping throat with the addition of an Adam's Apple. He has upturned dark blue eyes, with his gaze alone able to soothe one's soul. His eyebrows are average and well-groomed, with a sharp downward arch to the outer brows. His nose is small and straight and has a lowered tip, his nostrils on the narrow side. Val's ears are circular, with small holes along his ears from multiple earrings. His face is free of scaring, but he has one singular beauty mark under the right corner of his lips.

Lastly, he has a lovely set of midnight black hair with a glossy sheen. His hair is softer than silk itself, able to glide your fingers through it without struggle. Val's hair is always in preem condition, with his locks smelling of tropical coconut, coconut milk, and Tiare flowers. His hair is medium-length, reaching a few inches past his shoulders, and the type of it is 2a. When he's busy doing something, he'll tie his hair into a ponytail or messy bun to keep it out of his eyes. When Val is relaxing or doing minor activities, Val will let his hair free. However, he's been considering cutting his hair shorter, but he's too shy to ask anyone for aid.

Weapons:
Valente's weapons are two-handed weaponry, like two-handed swords, spears, lances, two-handed axes, and much more. He's more skilled in such equipment than one-handed weapons and bows. In his room, he has a weapon rack on his wall whenever he needs it. Val's strength works perfectly with such equipment, making him a deadly force and intimidating opponent in battle. Sometimes he would wear two different weapons on his back just in case, for example, a greatsword and spear.

Backstory:
The Benedictus family didn't originate from Ornetress, unlike most nobles. Instead, they came from a desert kingdom, the kingdom's name long forgotten by the Benedictus bloodline. The Nazari were nobles, members of the court, skillful warriors, and loyal guards to the royals, an expansive bunch. They followed the ruling family for years until the young king died under mysterious circumstances, and the uncle took the throne. Everyone knew that the uncle was the cause behind the king's untimely demise. Another issue had risen as rumors spread, but it was aimed at House Nazari, with the gossip saying they supported the uncle in murdering the king. To this day, the accusations remain uncertain, as many people have different sides to the story. Whatever the case, House Nazari fled the kingdom after most of their members had been hunted and killed. Finally, they settled in Ornetress and had to rebuild their house from scratch, changing their surnames to Benedictus.

Over the years, House Benedictus worked hard to regain everything they lost: money, reputation, and power. Not to mention settle internal disputes among their members who sought to be Head of the House. Finally, after what seemed like forever, they earned everything back and became influential. House Benedictus expanded their reaches like their ancestors, becoming soldiers in the army, royal knights of the castle, members of the court, and wealthy merchants. However, their status isn't as powerful as eons ago, and now they're cautious with anyone. They attend parties to keep up faces, yet they don't speak or state their opinions on political matters, remaining neutral no matter the topic. They would still appear in court to attend the royal decrees, yet they won't openly speak out. However, they're rare moments where they would support one's cause if they see it beneficial to their house and the people. Once you earn their favor, you have gained a powerful alley.

Valente is the fourth son of Lord Benedictus and is overshadowed by his older siblings' achievements. He's been left in the dark, tending to be forgotten within his family, with his shy and asocial nature not helping as much. Since no one paid him no mind, Val trained in isolation, either in the sparring grounds or the surrounding forest, honing his martial prowess. He is somewhat knowledgeable about politics, the other noble houses, and the kingdom's history, yet it wasn't his skill. One day while training, his father stumbled across him practicing in the training arena at night and was impressed by his skills. He put his son through grueling tests of might, a long tradition held by their ancestors, to see if he'll be worthy. It involves hunting the strongest animals, surviving a few days in the wilderness, going through backbreaking exercises, and finally sparring against the strongest house member, that one member being Ralph. Val succeeded in all of them and was seen as worthy in his father's eyes. As a reward, Carter enlisted his son to join the royal guards, where Valente is currently.

Other:
Completed

Full Name:

Laverna Skywatcher

Age:

16 years

Gender:

Female

Sexuality:

She doesn't know

Role:

Citizen

Appearance:

Laverna is not the tallest girl in the crowd, standing at five feet six inches (5'6"), but it isn't a bad height, although she does wish to be a bit taller sometimes. Who knows, she might get another inch or so by the time she's reached her adult height, there's still a few years to go. The best way to describe her build is average, she doesn't look outstandingly attractive nor is she the kind of plain that most don't notice; she's not very curvy nor does she have a bulky form, just a sleekness around the edges that give her build a distinctly feminine feel, but that far from uncommon and it isn't too notable. In recent times she has lost a bit of weight, but as her older brother has been giving her more food, it isn't drastically obvious, not yet at least.

As if right now, the girl has her mostly straight hair cut to chin length, the bob that its in looks good on her, the inwards curl at the bottom of her hair makes it look as if the dark locks are framing either side of her face. Talking about hair, the color of which is the color of a raven's or crow's wing, a dark shade of black that has a bluish tint in strong light. Her eyes are a similiarly dark in coloration, a deep brown so dark that they honestly look black in most settings. It is only in better lighting that one can see that the seemingly black of her eyes are actually a rich shade of brown, and the sunlight can throw a slightly orangey cast into them that is not there normally.

Laverna's skin color is a shade of olive that is on the more lighter side, rather than the darker end of the specific color's shades. But it is clearly darker than pale or fair skin. The undertones are of the neutral variety. As a result, her skin can harbor a tan a bit better than those with lighter tones, but she is still more sensitive to the sun than some. She doesn't really have any remarkable scars or anything on her, though she still does have a few, mostly from an accident or two, nothing major and nothing of note.

Attire:

Laverna predictably wears plainer clothing, she is content with the things she has currently, and while the fancier things sometimes catch her eye, there's no true desire for them behind it. Her clothing is made of cheaper material, but no less comfortable or suitable for her.

She typically dresses in an blue woolen shirt, the color the medium between light and dark blue, a woven thing that was made to be lighter, as she is a person who naturally runs hot, it takes a bit for her to need to switch to heavier things. With that, she also wears a pair of brown or black pants, and a pair of brown leather shoes. She wears a necklace with a small, bronze colored sundial pendant, a family heirloom of sorts, belonging to her who-knows-how-many-greats grandmother.

Personality:

First thing about Laverna, is that she is a horrible liar. She is not the type of person who can deceive others well, or even be able to give a passable white lie. Whether it be a big one or innocuous fib, she cannot lie. One can gather from this statement is that Laverna is a very honest person, and it is quite true. She is someone who doesn't like to lie, and naturally cannot, and therefore is just an honest person. Brutally honest sometimes, as she does not always have the best way of delivering unfortunate news, and can be unintentionally sharp in some remarks.

Laverna is not a easy-going person in some aspects, being a rather difficult type of personality even when she was a young child. This girl is very stubborn, so much so that one could use a capital "S" for it; once she has her mind set on something, a course of action or something else, then there is no moving her on it. Furthermore she is the type to insist on something, even when she has changed her mind, just for the sake of it. It can be hard to be in charge of her, so far this stubbornness has not changed, even as she grew into her teens, which may have made it worse for the time being.

Laverna is not quite impulsive, but also not quite patient either. She's somewhat in the middle, leaning to the more impulsive side than patient. What this means is that she is more prone to just jumping into something without thinking too much about it, more of the type to get involved first and ask questions later when everything gets calmed down a little. But she is not the most rash person ever found, and far from the most foolhardy teenage in the kingdom. Laverna does, after all, have some sense in her head after all; she is smart, but the more emotional part sometimes overrides that intelligence. She does have an idea of when to stay out of something, or try and calm things down, but whether she does it or not is another matter entirely.

She is actually a more friendly sort, and tries to get along with other people around her. She is far from hostile or aloof when interacting with people, and she often excludes a energetic air that can be energizing or exhausting, depending on the other person's mood and personality. She likes to talk to other people, and learn new things via people, it's fun for her to be able to have a quick chat with a neighbor or someone near her when she's doing something. Laverna is someone who ends up in a conversation when all she's supposed to be doing is grabbing something really quick, and then takes thirty minutes to actually remember what she was supposed to be doing.

Strengths:

-Honesty

-Doesn't stand out too much

-In good shape

Weaknesses:

-Doesn't always think before acting

-Very stubborn

-Lack of experience in general

Backstory:

Abandoned at a very young age, she was taken in as a baby by a kind hearted family, and was raised as one of their own. She had a good life, a simple one, she had a mother and father, and a older brother. When the rains came, it was a hard time for them all, her adoptive mother and father died, and she and her brother survived. As of late, her brother is away a lot, so that she is often left to her own devices most of the time.

WIP Wolf

Full name:

Solaris Clay Starweaver

Wolf Name Alias:

Lunar

Your color:

Silver

Age:

19 years

Gender:

Male

Sexuality:

Bisexual (male lean)

Role:

Wolf

Appearance:

Solaris is of more average height, being that he is five feet nine inches (5'9") and not being too tall nor too short, around the typical height with a tad of give or take being done depending on the people he is currently around. While he is mostly content with his current height, and knowing that he is not going to be gett any taller naturally, he does sometimes wish he was a bit taller; in that vague kind of manner most think of. Mostly in relation to an object he is trying to reach just being barely more than a finger length away, yet still unable to gain that tiny bit more to be able to grab it.

The young man's build can be described as "athletic". His build is far from bulky and is not overly muscular, but is more toned than a thinner and lighter build; it is more in between being considered slender or muscular, with his frame leaning slightly to the more slender side. He has muscles on him, but they are not noticeable unless he goes and takes his shirt or something off; he is stronger than someone built for speed and agility than strength, and he can match someone in a physical fight, but he is not the strongest person around and is still able to be overpowered by those with more sturdy builds that are more intended for brute strength and durability. One could say that he is balanced in terms of physical feats, he has a slenderness about him that make him and his musculature more sleeker, more in the manner of a wild feline; he is suited to strength and endurance, and speed and agility as well. He can keep pace with the group when running and can resort to physical means if necessary and have the strength to back it up, but he is still outrun by those smaller and lighter and still overpowered by those stronger than he is.

Solaris has dark hair, the short strands being an inky black in color, a nearly absolute black that doesn't give off the typical tint or edging of dark brown that can be seen in most with the darker color of hair. The shadowy coloring is quite the sharp contrast with his paler skin, which is more of a fair shade with cool undertones that make his skin look even more paler and chillier, and it is not exactly a bad looking contrast, more of an interestingly attractive type. This young man most often wears his hair short, no longer than the bottom of his earlobes; and as of right now, his straight hair is about three inches long and brushing the top of his ears.

As for his eyes, the young man's irises are a clear gray in color. The shade between dark and light that is the typical shade one thinks of when thinking about the color gray; it is a stormy color, the color of rainclouds overhead and the color of the steel that composes a sword. No, this is not his mark manifesting as a physical trait, rather the gray is his natural eye color, the one he was born with and has always had. It is quite the uncommon color, one does not see those with gray eyes all too often, and it can make it stand out a bit from the crowd.

Solaris' mark is located on his clavicle, and it is not the largest mark but is still large enough to make out what it is. The main part of his mark is the depiction of a silvery moon, with the darker gray patches of the craters and natural markings of the planet's surface, and that is not all of it. Instead of being surrounded by pale skin, the moon is surrounded by a splotch of midnight blue; the color not being even but instead being rounded with some parts being longer and some shorter with defined edges from the color and the paler skin; with the blue being slanted diagonally to the left. It is quite pretty, and in any other context, it looks as if someone actually painted it onto him rather than it being a mark left in the wake of a mysterious illness.

Attire:

To be honest, Solaris does not really care about the type of clothes he wears. If he is given something specific, he will wear it. Though he does have a liking for more practical garments than the flashy types, more out of a standpoint of not wanting to stand out too much and draw unnecessary attention to himself. He can often be seen wearing comfortable but practical clothes that he can easily move around in, but are nor form fitting or anything. He tends to like mid-range colors, with blues, greens, browns, and the occasional dark purple making it into his attire.

His cloak is a silvery color, reminiscent of the moon in the night sky, a light shade that seems to almost glow when the light hits it right. The hood attached to the back hides most of his face when it is currently being worn, and the length of the garment comes down to his calves when he is standing. His mask is a completely different color, a deep blue that is the shade that is rich and vivid when light directly hits it; the edges have a swirling pattern that had been formed by what is likely hand and colored a bright, contrasting silver.

Weaponry:

Solaris does not have much combat experience, but he has been trained to an extent with a sword and he is a passable shot with a bow.

Ability:

-Lunar Manipulation-

Solaris' power comes from the moon. Just as it waxes and wanes through each night, so do his powers; the strength of it is fully dependent on the current phase of the moon. And his connection to the moon comes with multiple aspects to it.

Solaris can heal himself and others, and this is dependent on both the moon and his energy. In this case, on regular nights it is dependent solely on his energy level, but on the nights before and after and the full moon, just being exposed to the moon's light can speed up the process without draining him of energy as fast. On regular nights, it is a easy thing to be able to heal little nicks and thin scratches on him and others, little things that can help out a bit, as those types can be a pain to deal with for a day or two. This can extent to larger injuries too, normally he can completely heal small things, and nearly completely heal a medium wound, for larger wounds then he'll manage to at least get the active bleeding stopped and start to piece together the deepest part of it, but it won't be nearly or even half-way healed. But he cannot do this for many people, with very minor things he can do it easily for multiple people, for "medium" sized wounds that are not all too severe, two to three people, and for the really bad wounds he can really only do one person. There needs to be a lot of prioritizing in situations where he needs to heal.

Now, in the three nights close to the full moon and the night of, his healing power starts getting better. The night before, there is a slight but noticeable boost, wounds start to heal faster during healing, and he find it easier to heal both himself and others. An interesting thing in these three nights, is that being under the light of the moon helps to heal himself, not by much but it is enough to be helpful. The full moon is the peak of his healing, with him being able to heal six to seven people with wounds that are enough to put them out of comission for a while and have the potiental to be fatal if not given treatment fairly quickly, but not the most urgent, not including himself, and this can even extend to cracked or cleanly broken bones; more severe injuries lower this amount, he can heal about four to three severe injuries on average. Now still during the full moon, having the wounded individual under the full moon provides a boost to his healing, as on these three nights being exposed to the light will advance his healing rate for himself and others by a bit; but this is to be done if the wound in question is near fatal and he needs to get the worst of it healed up fast.

Following the pattern of the rest of his powers, the night after the full moon is the winding down part of his strength; with his healing still being better than the default, and still being able to draw a boost from the moonlight, but it is not as strong as the other two moon phases and it is lowering back into his standard rate. The new moon night is the weakest of his healing, with it being the closest to a normal human's healing rate, albeit a little bit better, but not by much; though one might be able to see a thin paper cut or something equally tiny gradually close up during this phase.

Solaris has a bit of strange ability included in his little set of powers. He can "reverse" the night sky, making it seem like it's going back in time to previous nights; it can be quite the thing to see. While some may want to call it something less flattering or more than it is, this ability to quite simple; at the root of it, all he is doing is rewinding images of the night sky, including previous nights. This is something that he cannot do on normal moon phases, the only time he can do this in full is on the night of the full moon, when his powers are at their strongest; in normal circumstances, he can only do this image rewind on a minor scale with constellations and stars. While that may sound like the same thing as the full sky reversal, it is not, it's a different thing as it only really applies to the stars he is under; only in that area would others be able to see the stars changing. While on the full scale version of this, pretty much everyone in the world can see the night sky change.

Solaris can to an extent, manipulate the gravity of objects and living beings alike. This is a bit more complicated part of his powers due to the very nature of it. Normally, he can only alter gravity enough to slow pursuers down or speed others up, and that is only limited to two people being affected at once; so he has to make a decision about who poses the most threat or who is the most important. When it comes to smaller objects, he can alter the gravity of those enough so that they can freely float around if given the chance, this is easier to do than alter a heavier object or a human, so he can do this more easily. With medium sized objects he can lighten the object enough so that it's easier to lift and move, and can even float off the ground, albeit the floating is not very much and definitely not at the level as the smaller things.

Though as all of the aspects of his connection to the moon, they strengthen as the moon grows fuller in the sky. The night before the full moon phase is when his gravity manipulation grows stronger, he is able to affect larger objects more easily and his range starts to extend as well; this period is when the his power is growing stronger but is not at full strength. On the full moon, this aspect is at its most powerful and would be much more dangerous if not for being limited by his energy level; if it wasn't hindered by that, then he could probably manage to lift buildings. The night after the full moon is the decline of his powers' strength, it is still stronger but it is noticeably weaker, leading down into his normal strength. And last of all, during the new moon he is at his weakest, being hardly able to make a small object such as a little wooden carving or something similiar float even an inch; he can still do a little, his gravity manipulation is still there, just incredibly weak.

To Solaris, all three of these abilities feel like connections to him, and to use them, he has to draw on these connections, although where he has to draw on depends. With the healing, he has to kind of reach inside himself and draw the energy to heal and access the healing ability, there is a slight connection to the wounded in question while he is healing others; and when healing at night, he also draws on his connection to the moon, making this one of the harder abilities with having to draw on and deal with three to four sources at once. For the sky reversal power, it is like taking hold of that link to the moon and sky and pulling it back, both asking and willing the world and the source of his powers to allow him to rewind the sky. And for his gravity manipulation, it's a bit harder to describe; it is like he is pulling on the link to the moon and somehow reaching out to the object or person he needs to weigh down or lighten, and combining the two while keeping the thought of weighing down or removing; even in the daytime he can do this, although at that time it is more like drawing his own energy as the primary source rather than the connection to the moon, which grows weaker at day, instead of drawing from the moon and infusing his own energy as a booster and aid of sorts.

To summarize these powers that are brought with his lunar manipulation and how easy they are for him to wield, the healing is the most complicated and hardest for him to preform, and he has not used it all too often, making it the least used ability. The sky reversal is the simplest power in regards to how it works, albeit draining, but due to lack of need to really use it, it is not used very often; but it would be the easiest ability for him to use. And the gravity manipulation is trickier, but he has the most practice with it, and so he finds it a bit easier to do.

Personality:

There are some people that seem to be live wires in terms of personality, and there are some that seem to be unshakable, Solaris is the latter of the two. He is a very calm person, his natural demeanor isn't meant to be fierce and blazing like a flame or energetic and attention-grabbing like light, if one were to symbolize him by an element, then perhaps earth would be a apt similie. Or, for an obvious one, the moon. Anyone who meets him can immediately register the calm manner he has, the way how he acts and the vibe he gives off; which can only be described as "chill". It seems as if nothing can really faze him enough to break that calm demeanor, like he is the eye of the storm, nothing can get through to him to really affect him. Of course that is false, he is not always collected to that degree, and situations can affect him enough to show it.

Solaris is a person who prefers to keep quiet until he needs to speak up, this can be as simple as pointing out a flaw in a plan or having to relay or give his orders to allies, or even conversing with someone about a topic. He is not someone that talks others' ears off about trivial matters, or about any kind of thing, but he is not aloof in a group setting, he can and will be drawn into a conversation and he will engage in it wholeheartedly. It is who he is, someone who can hang back and listen and gather information about the current situation, and then speaking his piece; or someone who chooses not to engage at all and is forgotten by others in a social setting, then appearing seemingly out of nowhere to pipe in and then disappear again. This aspect fits in quite well with the collected air he gives off, and it even seems to add to it.

This young man is decently friendly when interacting with other people, especially those he does not know or trust. He will answer direct questions and may willingly give his imput or opinion, he will be polite and not unfriendly, but something about his bearing in this situation is not wholly warm and friendly either. It seems as if there's a part of him holding back, not being entirely forward, and it can come off as reserved or being politely unfriendly. The latter of which is more closer to what he does, though he is more like a mix of the two; he does not want to outright tell someone that he does not want to talk to them, and most often does the best he can in an interaction, even when he does not feel like talking at the moment.

He has trouble expressing emotions in front of people, he's so used to being seen as calm and also having a more steady demeanor with other people, that it can take a lot to get him to show his true feelings. When it's just him, he has absolutely no trouble; he will growl or hiss under his breath when frustrated or giggle if he saw or read something that struck him as funny, or jump if startled by a sound. But when it comes to being with other people, unless he is very comfortable with them, it can be hard for him to even smile without thinking about it. While it can be seen as a good thing, this is mostly beyond frustrating to him. After all, he does want to be able to show how he's feeling more easily, around people he's comfortable with of course, he still wouldn't want to be an open book to strangers.

Another more negative thing about Solaris, which is something good or bad that depends on situation and personal views, is that he finds it quite easy to lie. He has no idea where he even picked it up, neither of his parents really encouraged that, but yet he finds lying almost as easy and natural as simply breathing. There have been a few times in his life where he had been busy with a chore and a friend or someone asks him something, and out slips a lie without him realizing it. Obviously this aspect is not usually seen as a good thing, and it has gotten him into a bit of trouble in the past too, with the smaller, inconsequential fibs; but they were distortions of the truth nonetheless, whether on purpose or accident.

Backstory:

Born to a mother hailing from a distant kingdom and a father who hailed from the kingdom of Ornetress, Solaris was the product of two people from different worlds finding love in each other. When he grew old enough, his father began to teach him how to wield a sword; only the man was the type that was not a natural teacher, and it usually ended in frustration for both parties. His mother who was of an unknown profession before coming to the kingdom, taught him the basics of a variety of things, such as the basic handling and such of archery and how to recognize plants used for healing and plants used for poison; a more versatile range than his father, who had been raised a knight and knew how to fight.

But the despite the rough parts in the road, they all loved each other and got along as a family should. And while Solaris left the training sessions feeling like he was a failure in his inability to learn how to do something as simple as use a sword, that was not held against his father. The life his family had came crashing down twos years ago, just before when those rains swept across the kingdom and brought an illness with it; his father was the one who succumbed to the illness. His mother survived and did not gain a mark or power from it, but he did, the sign of a moon against a dark blue sky and a new connection to the moon and night.

Not long ago, he received a letter from a person whose features were hidden by the cloak they were, and he took it to ask his mother about it. The answer was that he do what felt right, and he went. And at the meeting place, he pledged his allegiance to the Wolves.
