All of her facial features are sharp and angular, but not unattractively so.

Secret: Secretly Adaire wishes that her brothers spell would have killed her too.
Weapons: She uses a long sword with the elvish words meaning "Soul Cleaver". It is made of black metal and has a stone of onyx on the pommel. Occasionally she uses her bow as well.

Character Name: Samesh

Gender: Male

Species/Race:"Enlightened" Human

Age: 32

Distinguishing Marks:two branded dots, horizontally placed across his forehead, and branded "tattoos" swirling around his wrist and to his palm - where a line is made through the half way mark of the palm. There is also a circle branded around his left pectoral, also with a line through it.

General Appearance: Samesh is a monk of sorts, he wears homely clothing consisting of a dirtied white cloth robe (or perhaps a toga with less length). One shoulder is covered by a sleeve while the other sleeve is used as a pouch on the side to carry food or whatever else. He also wears a pair of what looks like burlap pants, which are cut just shy of covering his shins. He wears no foot-wear.

His skin is olive, and he has dark black hair which is tied up into 3 "pony tails", and his facial hair exists only as a goatee and plenty of scruff.

Strengths: Samesh is very calm and collected most of the time, and has a generally high temperament. He is skilled in martial arts involving leg strength.

Weaknesses: May sometimes under-react to a drastic situation, or otherwise under perform. He is also weak with his arms (forearm down) because of the branding placed their.

Hobbies: Samesh enjoys harmonizing with the world around him, listening and interacting with his environment on a spiritual level. This does not necessarily mean meditating though, but usually a trance like state all the same (day dreaming if you wish).

Likes: nature, knowledge, discipline, interesting variety

Dislikes: recklessness, lazy people, unnecessary harm

Fears: disruption of natural processes (interfering with something that is dying, or reviving the dead type of thing)

Personality: Friendly, but serious. He presents himself through words on a minimal level, but lets his kindness be shown through the actions he takes. He is considered enlightened as a holy man and as such he will often act as a father figure to some.

Secret:Was actually exiled from his original home because his family came to be known as murderers. His parents (the criminals) were killed, while the children were left on their own after being painfully branded on their arms to show their status, and to render their hands useless from spilling blood like their parents. Samesh Had a little brother and a little sister, both of which passed away while trying to find a way to survive. As a punishment for not being able to take care of his siblings, Samesh branded himself as yet another punishment, blaming himself for not being able to help his siblings. The brand was a mark on his chest, over his heart, and two dots on his forehead, each representing one of his siblings.

Weapons: N/A - though is handy with most short blades.

Grimiore Element: Gravity

btw, what is the difference between force and gravity?
 
Epitaph, Darkness is already taken. You need to change your element and edit your post to match.

Kyy, Why am I the one who had to tell her that darkness is taken?
 
Oh, oops. When you said someone changed to distortion I thought you said it was you so I thought darkness was open again. My bad, I'll fix it.
 
Gravity is gravity based where as Force is non-elemental. It is the physical element.
 
well... that's where the confusion is. what does your idea of "gravity based" include? are we talking like kingdom hearts style where it only includes a pulling force on an area, or are we talking more general where gravity could pretty much accomplish the same thing as (my idea of) force, which is to create a force field by making gravity push outward from an area as well.
 
the latter of the two. Force is more like gaining physical strength. I gunna change force though. It's gunna be Dream instead.
 
Kaine you could have been a bit nicer in voicing what had happened, it was no ones fault here and everyone will adjust accordingly. As for my post, it can remain almost the exact same way as I will now claim the element Dream.
 
Okay. Btw Thank you Epitaph.

And, Kaine, once again, I apolagize for the confusion.
 
Do forgive me, I tend to be a tad blunt. It was not my intent to be rude.

And I understand there was mix up over darkness and distortion. So long as everyone is clear now, I'm just fine.
 
Ahh, ok I gotcha now. So if i'm understanding correctly on these Grimiores correctly, they're books? from the posts that I think i've seen relating to the abilities it has been a book. Is this what we're going for or is that a coincidence?
 
Could I claim fire if it has not already been taken? It's 4am and I'm too tired to make a CS right now.
 
Oblivion: Ya sure.

Kaine: Np yo. I figured you werent tryin to be.

Relic: Ya, they're books. Some charas already start with them and others obtain theirs in the beggining.
 
sounds interesting. I like the idea :D

I'll post when I see a decent opening in the story
