HISTORY: Elementals are an old people created by old magic that has since long been forgotten. Every child is born with a random specialty as well as inheriting one lesser one from their parents. These specialties give them an advantage in controlling and learning how to use and maintain their ability’s faster than they can others. Elementals can only have children with other elementals and each pairing only ever has a set of twins, a boy and a girl. Torok is a rare elemental, a Guardian. This was something his parents were not all that knowledgeable about, for this reason and a few others they opted to send him to a “summer camp” when he turned 13 to learn how to control his ability’s.

Guardians are different from other elementals in one key aspect, where other elementals can eventually learn other elements, guardians can only use the two they were born with but form an almost otherworldly bond with those elements to the point where they can have two skins, and shape shift between them. Guardians form strong lasting bonds with places, things, and occasionally other beings as well, it normally takes some time for a bond to be formed but once it is it will last a lifetime. Guardians are protectors of the things they bond with, strong, daring, and courageous are some things one can be described as, but they can also be reckless, dangerous, and easily angered when the thing they are bonded with is threatened.

This bond is where Torok’s troubles began, his family lived in a small home in the wilderness of Wyoming, far from the prying eyes of others. This is where he made his first bond, he bonded quickly to the forest that surrounded his family’s home. Through his childhood he would spend days away from the house adventuring and exploring the woods getting a feel for nature and his surroundings. He never felt scarred in the forest, the animals never seemed to mind him as long as he respected them and their space. He was just more at home there then at home, everything was peaceful until he had his incident.

Torok was almost 13 his abilities were just starting to come out, and he was just beginning to become accustomed to them with the help of his mother and his father. Yet this chilly September day something was different, for him something felt off or wrong. After some time hiking he could hear it a long-drawn-out buzzing sound and the sound of trees falling. It didn’t take him long to find the team of loggers in the forest. Torok was confused at first his parents told him about what the humans did but said his area was protected that they couldn’t hurt this place. But here they were cutting down his beloved trees, they were his friends.

With fury and rage in his heart the boy lost control, unfortunately for him his emotions have a big part in his abilities and how they are used. A low grumble and shaking could be felt through the ground before suddenly from the tree line, a giant of earth and stone emerged from the forest near the loggers standing nearly 10 feet tall. It chased them back to their camp and their trucks, throwing stones while roots and plants grasped at them tripping them and pulling them into the ground. Before the group had even reached the camp half had been killed, either they succumbed to the plant life or were trampled by the giant. The giant eventually destroyed the camp letting only one of the loggers escape down the road in his truck. The giant didn’t do anything for a time, but his presence made the surrounding forest regrow while the earth slowly retook the campsite and the bodies leaving almost no trace that someone was there at all.

Piece by piece chunks of rock fell from the giant revealing the unconscious body of the boy, but he was not alone. Torok’s father had followed the sound of the roaring and saw the giant destroy the camp. For a moment the man thought that his son was controlling the giant or another Elemental or druid had made its way into the area. However, the man was stunned for a moment when he witnessed his son appear from the stone giant. There was a lot of excitement in the area for a few months after that, search teams and reporters trying to find the missing loggers that were logging illegally in the forest.

For the rest of the year Torok became withdrawn, he didn’t understand what he was and his parents didn’t know what to do. He has dreams and nightmares of what he did but doesn’t remember what he did. Eventually his parents found out about the summer camp and sent him and his sister there. The first summer he was there he barely spoke a word and didn’t participate in most exercises or classes. The next year he was a bit more attentive but still withdrawn, the camp counselors were nice and patient always giving him his space and waiting for him to come around. After all, they were aware of what had happened to him. Now he’s not as withdrawn and this summer he thinks he may be able to open up a little more, his sister got what she needed from the camp and his parents did not believe that she needed to go this year. So this year Torok would be alone to face his problems on his own.

PERSONALITY: on the outside he can be rather monotone and neutral, his emotions influence his abilities and he has a very good grasp on them so far. He is a patient and quiet person that doesn’t talk too much, he can be a bit awkward around others. However, he is a passionate person when it comes to the things he cares about and once you break through his tough exterior one would find a warm caring heart that only wants to help and protect even if at times he can act wiser than his age would warrant.

POWERS: Torok is a bit stronger than humans and has a bit more stamina, he can manipulate stone and earth as well as nature, plants and animals. Some of these manipulations require him to have some sort of movement the more complicated it is, while other smaller manipulations require no movement at all just some concentration. However, as stated before his emotions influence his ability’s greatly and if the emotion is great enough then he just might lose control.

HOBBIES: Singing and playing the guitar was something he picked up during his first year. Sculpting was something he learned during his second year. Being in nature as much as he can, whether it be swimming (For him it’s sinking slowly) or a hike.

ANYTHING ELSE WORTH MENTIONING: Ever since his first year he’s had a slight crush on one of the councilors, Kalliphae Adams, she was one of the first people to get him to show off what he could do and always seemed to have good advice. But mostly it was because she would talk to him even if he never said a word.
