Name- Theocritus Alf Iorwerth
Name Meaning- The Handsome Judge of the Elven Gods
Age- 250 years
Date of Birth- Aug. 27th, 70
The year where he is from is not set at our own 2009. Instead it is really ever used at all. Years are merely used for humans or more mortal creatures. However, for the benefit of the more mortal creatures running the site, it has been placed. 70 is really the rough date, since neither his mother nor father knew exactly when, year wise, their son was born.
Homelands- Symiash Kingdom
Race- Kirin-Faun
Kirin-Fauns are generally solitary creatures. It is said they have Royal Elven blood, though it is so diluted between Tree-spirits, Deer- Fauns, and their own kind, it can be hard to tell. They are tall, skinny folk with fluid movements and are graced with both speed and flexibility. Some are even known to be faster then Elves, but not by much. They possess some strength, however, no more then the average human. Kirin-Fauns prefer running into dense forests then fighting and have a natural kinship with most forest creatures, whether it is of plant or animal. They are considered the Tree Nymphs of their world and classes such as Elementals, Druids, Summoners, and Tree-Shapers are normal for their kind. Classes that are less frequent include Scriptmancers and Red Mages.
Class- Summoner
Final- Stone Script
With a smaller branch from his horn, though any writing utensil or potential utensil (feather, thin twig) may work to a lesser degree and a drop of blood he may write in the air. The words written are "The Circle Stands Alone and They Turn to Stone" and appear in bright glowing red, hovering into the air as his target temporarily turn to stone. The number of foes depicts the length of the petrifaction. Larger numbers = less time and a Smaller number = more time. Once the other is free from the stone, they are perfectly fine.
The Stone can be so hard, that it is almost impossible for the foe to be harmed inside.
Theo doesn't wish to hurt, but detain.
----------------------------
{Weapon information}
Paschi [PAH-shee]
A staff, about his height (including his "tree") is made of the gnarled Cherry that he lived in. It is carved with varying glowing green runes, carved by the Elven Court of his home; the largest and most prominent is that of an owl and was done by the King.
Paschi gives him the ability to summon an Eagle Owl from Symiash. It is larger then normal owls. He has a 6 foot wingspan, is a vibrant white with matching vibrant glowing green runes as on the staff. The owl is named after the staff, Paschi. As Paschi flies, and depending on the temperature, Snow or Rain falls from his wings. He is hardly used as a Weapon against others, but more of a Hunting Aid.
{Armor Information}
Trabli [TRA-blae]
It is a thick exoskeleton like covering that goes around his right arm and across the collarbone area of his chest. It is a brilliant goldenrod color with 3 red spots down the front of his arm. From the chest down it turns into tunic of sorts. It is made with varying layers of leaves, most of which are fall colors. It comes from a large spider from the Symiash forest land and was crafted by a skilled Centaur.
It lessens the damage of Fire considerably, though not completely.
{Accessory Information}
Luk [l-OIK]
Luk is a set of special beads normally with Light Magic qualities. This includes Protection spells to Healing abilities. The one around Theo’s neck is lighter in shade and contrasts his scales beautifully. It is generally made from the carved and shaped horns of Unicorns but only if it is given willingly will it possess magic. This Luk in particular was given by a Unicorn resembling a large elk.
It gives Theo a lesser Healing ability which will heal bruises, small cuts, and scrapes, as well as any headaches or small illness that befalls Theo.
----------------------------
{Essay on Looks}
His lower half is very much like a Faun, only instead of it being a goat, Theo resembles a Kirin. He has sharp opaque black cloven-hooves. Short bristly brown fur lines the side of his legs and around his ankles as well as over his hooves. Because of Deer-Faun blood in his veins from several generations ago, his lower half is more fur then scale, however you can still see the scales underneath. Theo also possesses a long, thin, and rigid tail with a large tuft at the tip. The scales a dark Jade that shimmers and covers all of his body. They are small scales, resembling that of a carp or even a snake in places. As you go up, and you realize the scales cover the completeness of his body, you can see his face is not an exception to this.
His slimming young face is covered in the deep green smooth scales. Theo has high cheek bones with astoundingly human looking features, which is very lucky and rare for his kind. His eyes, where the whites should be are a deep, near black, blue, while the iris is nearly white and grows slightly deeper in color on the outside of the iris and near the pupil, giving it a false glowing effect. His hair is long, generally put into a big loose braid, and matches the fur. His ears are long, at least 3 inches, and are cupped like that of a goat, but bend backwards and hang down.
There is more to Theo then just scales and coarse brown fur, however. Moss, Lichen, and flowers frequently grow along his body and in his hair. It surprisingly lacks any insects, unlike a sloth; however, the brown is all given a greenish tinge. The flowers range in types and colors, from a Blood Lilly to varying, Passion-flowers, and the poisonous Foxgloves, all which liked to grow in his braided hair. Upon his forehead, however, is the true masterpiece.
Though plants seem to gather upon him, moss on his scales and lichen in his fur and on his scales, the reason became a Summoner, is smack dab on his face.
An Earth Elemental would be too obvious with a tree growing out of your forehead. Birds frequent it. It blooms beautiful smelling gray-blue flowers in late spring and early summer and is normally draped with beautiful purple flowering hair thin vines.
Theo stands at a staggering 10 feet even if he were to lock his legs and ankles and stand completely erect. However, he does not do this and stands at a lesser height of 9'5". This includes his horn, so he is about 6'3" without the horn. Thanks to his height and his kind, Theo is also very thin and dainty. Some may even be so bold as to say he is girly or feminine, and then they would get a nice strong donkey-like kick to the chest and where there is speed, there are leg muscles, and where there are leg muscles there is one powerful kick.
Theo tends to not wear much for two reasons. One reason is that his species is very open and doesn’t require clothing and the other is the fact that it is just difficult for him to wear clothes. Though, this is mainly in the pants category and, it’s not rare, if he does wear something, for you to find Theo in simple linen knee length shorts. Theo, however, always wears his Trabli and Luk. He also often wears a little saddle bag made out of snake skin. In which he has notebooks, pencils, and even a little sketch book, all hand bound by his father.
----------------------------
{See Right Through Me}
Theo can come off as cold and without a care upon the first encounter. He generally ignores people and prefers older friends and Tree-folk to anything else. Many people he has only met for a moment describe him as a cold hearted young man. The fact that he left his Father at a crucial time in the more social development part of his life has caused him to push people away and to take the Kirin-Faun’s solitary nature to a larger degree.
His attitude can also change quickly from being a sharp blunt to a murderous hate fast. Distrust harbors much of this. However, Theo does warm up to people and even if he is rather arrogant, has the capability to make friends.
Even through all this solitary and snappish behavior, Theo does know how to have a good time. He gets along great with quiet and more reserved people. If he comes to trust you, it is a great asset. Theo is filled with knowledge he is not afraid to share with people he cares for. All you have to do is get on his good side. Now this is hard, that is plain and simple.
Most friendly tactics don’t work, especially if you are human. In fact, if you are human, you can just count yourself out right now. Theo must admit he is slightly racist. It is just how he was brought up in his Kingdom. Humans are the pests of the world in his eyes, and only a select few people amount to much of anything, and he has yet to meet one in his 250 years. Their lives are too short for them to truly learn the potential in magic, and Theo was almost put off when he learned that Twilight Moon Academy accepted them. However much he hates them, he keeps to his ways and ignores rather then attacking them.
Theo is very much the pacifist. Fighting is something he is greatly against, which is the number one reason for leaving him. He will even stop the fighting around him. However, he does break the rules at time and will hit people, especially if you don’t listen to him. Not that he is throwing a tantrum, but it really is the only way he knows to get people’s direct attention. And what is Theo’s favorite spot to hit? Well the Back of the head of course!
----------------------------
{Scratching the Surface}
Flaws-
Theo hardly goes out of his way for others, and, at times, refuses to do so.
Fears-
Even though he dislikes humans, Theo hates the idea of every human of the human race vanishing. This can only be done with very strong magic, as they litter nearly every planet like a plague and have uncountable numbers. If all the humans vanished, there would be other species to follow, or so he fears.
Talents-
Learning, if that could ever be a talent (if so, I would be rich by now with a TV deal and the whole shebang). He learns at an astonishing rate and reads constantly. However, it has made him blunt and he has very little social skills.
Likes-
Seclusion and nature are two big ones on Theo’s list. Now how can you be alone in the big wide worlds of Nature? Good question…
Dislikes-
Humans top his list. That and technology. He can’t stand that creation and would rather it just vanish off the face of the planets.
Quirks/Habits-
He will stop and examine small, interact things without notice. If anything catches his eye, even if he is in the middle of a conversation, he will kneel down and look at it. He may even sketch it, or in some cases, press it into his notebooks.
Hobbies-
Collecting small things and flowers is one of Theo’s favorite ways to pass his time. Anything he can store in his bag really. Normally he studies what he finds later, whether it is by taking it apart or simply by turning it over in his hand. One of his favorite finds was made by a Mining Dwarf and was a simple mechanical bronze Praying Mantis, which he carries everywhere.
----------------------------
{Not a Sob Story}
Welcome to the Symiash Kingdom, a forested land filled with Tree-folk and creatures beyond your imagination. This is a large realm almost solely in the trees. There is no castle in Symiash; instead the King lives in the largest tree. The cities, homes, shops, and towns were all made by Tree-shapers and Geomancers. The people are rather skittish around outsiders and are hardly seen. If you do catch a glimpse, you will find Elves, Nymphs, Faes, and other creatures of the wood. There is one other place, however, outside the city, in a fallen tree home.
Theocritus Alf Iorwerth was born just outside the Symiash Kingdom in a large felled oak. His father is a Healer and a very well know Scriptmancer (one who controls written word). He worked on and off for their Elven King. His mother was an Earth Elemental, and was killed illegally by Hunters of the neighboring Kingdom of Avyinban while she was in the form of a Kirin. As Kirins are high in value, Theo had become more reserved and wary of the outside world and humans in particular.
Years passed, and he never left his forest home. By the age of 100, he had no need for his Father and went to live in another part of the forest. At this point he scarcely looked over the age of 13.
The home he chose was a large partially uprooted Cherry. It was twisted and had large gnarls. Inside the trunk, he lived with the Tree-Spirits permission. Now living in a tree may seem cramped but this is only an illusion. With the help of a Tree-shaper, it was made into a nice little home with he needed to live comfortable.
Out of a branch that fell during a particularly bad storm he made Paschi, that a few years before he left for the Twilight Moon Academy had glowing green runes carved into it and Theo met the spirit of the limb, a large white Eagle Owl named Paschi. It was around the time of the storm that his "horn" began to grow.
It is rare for a Kirin-Faun to have a flowering "horn" and in having one it shows Tree-Spirit ancestry. Normally the horn is small and looks more like a twisted limb of wood then a tree. At first, Theo's looked like this as well. 20 years later when it reached 3 feet in height, twice the normal size, it became noticeable that he had Tree-spirit somewhere in his history.
It split into 3 tiers, all following a wide arch out of his forehead then back. At the age of 200, it bloomed. It was a sight to behold, as it only blooms on warm early mornings and evenings. Since the tree began to bloom mosses and lichens and thin weeping vines began to grow. It was a sign of true potential as an Elemental. However, with his mother's death behind him and a stubborn way, that generally came with his people; he refused to be an Earth Elemental.
Now war was saturated in the air as Symiash took up to defending itself from the Kingdom of Avyinban. The brother of the dead King wanted more power and Nathanial was going to get this any way he pleased.
Though the forest was lovely large and lush, he was finding distaste in this quiver of war. At this point he was becoming a young man and was a son not only in his father's eyes but in his King's eyes, yet he felt awkward with his blooming appendage. Worry crept in as more and more people took notice.
Potentially, Theo could end with his mother's fate and decided to go somewhere, where he could be safe and somewhere he could make something of himself.
He left for Twilight Moon Academy the night he heard its name spoken in a Tavern. Any place would be better then a world on the brink of war.
