Ezekiel Rhiannon (Ezek)

Class: Purple/llusionist

Familiar: None- shapeshifter

Appearance: 5'6 muscular, Shoulder length black hair with white streaks (due to the fact that he is not 100% human), green eyes. An odd tattoo or branding of some sort is on his neck, it is usually covered by his hair and robes but when it is revealed it appears to be a five pointed star with some odd runic writing. It fades and darkens showing some magical element.

Personality/Quirks:Nervous, especially in crowds occasionally causing him to shift and cause a scene. Is often silent but watchful except among those he trusts. Can appears lost in his own thoughts. Due to his quiet nature learns a lot about people around him, and consequently can sometimes catch people out when they're lying. Temper can flare when provoked, which is dangerous because of his shifting ability. Has a reckless/mischievous streak when he feels he has an advantage, or when he’s happy and among friends. Feels an outcast and doesnt appear to settle well.

Extra Abilities: Linguist, Shapeshifter

Weapons: Dagger

Armor: Robes/None- More of an escape artist

Advantages: Shapeshifting: Can shift to for example escape easier, perhaps by turning into a bird, or to gain an advantage in battle by shifting to a strong creature. Temporary. Certain skills may be gained when shifted as well, IE Survival.

It can be difficult for even telepathic magicians to work out who he is when he's shifted, because the animal instincts mask him meaning he can pass for a normal animal. High magicians come sometimes see through it

Hypersensitive(tends to be aware of werewolves even when they're in human form, seems sensitive to changes in peoples moods/feelings)

Quick Reflexes

High Pain Threshold

Streetwise

Alertness (can be attributed partly to nervousness)

Disadvantages: Shifting has the obvious disadvantage that he loses his clothes, but also drains his energy leaving him tired. Emotionally triggered shifting, I.E. when cornered and fight or flight instincts cause him to shift, drain him less than when he has to focus and shift into something he wants to shift into. This generally leaves him exhausted. Emotionally triggered shifts are more dangerous, because he has to keep control of the form and will himself to shift back when he needs to- if he stays shifted too long he has the danger of being unable to hold the will to shift back and may lose himself and become whatever beast he changes to. His keeps his consciousness when shifted, but it gets clouded by the animals instincts as well.

Nerves/ Fear of social situations: He is afraid of what others think of him, and worries constantly about causing a problem and embarrassing himself by accidentally shifting

Dangerous when provoked

Other Information: He hopes the guild will be able to help him gain control over his shifting

He feels he does not ‘fit in’ anywhere and hopes he will find a home at the guild

He is very guarded about his past, it is thought he had an unhappy home life.

He fears thats losing control of his shapeshifitng he will hurt someone unintentionally, it is thought this has happened once in the past but so far he has not trusted someone enough to discuss it.

He gets on well with werewolves as they hold something in common with him, but when provoked by one it can cause a violent fight.

Fears people may except more of him than he can give

Does not get on well with his family. Is hiding from their control at the guild

Ezekiel has had an slightly eventfull life at the guild in the time he has been there. He had a disagreement with an enchanted book which outed his shapshifting abilities and has been trying to hide the spell cast upon him currently through his illusionism. The enchanment is one placed by his parents to try to turn him to their side. Its exact side effects and what exactly it is doing have not become clear. Having been visited by his sister, which caused further disagreements, he then become entangled with the battle of Kalsho to protect the guild- and luckily his sister has the use of being able to help Lady Shaylar who become embroiled in a vision. Now recovering from having lost control of his shapeshifting during the battle, his future feels uncertain with his family on his tail and his brother in particular making plans...

Family

Parents Elenora and Skara, both still alive. Elenora herself is human, and stunningly beautiful. She was kidnapped by Skara and forced into a marriage which makes her completely unhappy. It is thought she is from a noble family somewhere, and that what happened has been covered up due to threats and Skara's connection to the Dark Alliance. Skara himself is pure Dark Elf and evil without exception. One sister, Alyssa, and one brother, Vincent who is betrothed to an elf called Aida in a marriage as much for the connection as for the similar wicked personalies.

Alyssa

Alyssa is the youngest of the Rhiannon family. She has striking white curly hair and pale skin which contrast with pure black eyes and, often, black clothing. She can be evil and manipulative, but she has a compassionate heart even if she doesnt like to admit it. This is shown by her often helping her brother out, or other people she claims to dislike. She has cleric training but learned other things too, and is not someone you would wish to annoy. She has a soft spot for her brother Ezekiel but knows trying to help him too much could cause him more harm than good. She visited the Guild in the hope of bringing him back home and somehow fixing the family divide, but has decided he might be better off there. She appears to have developed some sort of attachement to Calel, a healer at the guild but is unsure how to proceed since staying at the guild to long would draw attention from her parents and cause trouble.

Vincent

Vincent is the eldeset of the three mixed race children. He has inherited all his fathers evil and cunning, as well as charm. He has long black hair- the result of the mixed race breeding- and bright green eyes. He dislikes Ezekiel greatly, and being his fathers pride and joy can make Ezekiel's life difficult with a word against him. Vincent is very dangerous, devoid of compassion. It is said he is deeply involved with the Dark Alliance and is planning something big. If he knew where Ezekiel was he would most certainly take action against him purely for his own amusement.
