Here's my character, finally. I'll admit, the profile isn't as pretty, but I'm not really one for graphic design.

Thalion

Theme Song: The Sleep of Restless Hours, by Disillusion

Description : A relatively young adult Half-Elf; Thalion maintains a lithe, if athletic physique. He has mana veins spreading from his chest to his arms, and from the crown of his head to the right side of his face. Due to circumstances, he makes a point to keep these, and his ears hidden as much as possible. 

Gender : Male// Race :Half-Elf // Age: 20 
Personality : Once upon a time, there was a Half-Elf, full of mirth and wanderlust. Of cheer and courage. He was full of hope and optimism. Then he was betrayed. And from that betrayal, the young man became conflicted. He does what he must to survive; to steal what he'd rather buy, to lie when he'd rather be honest, to hide when he'd rather welcome. But, the betrayal could not kill a hero's heart. One that bleeds for those who suffer, and burn with a sun's passion. One that seeks justice in a seemingly unjust world.

Background : Born to two Half-Elves, Thalion grew up among the Elves in the forests skirting Amber's Grove. For as long as he could remember, history and lore fascinated him. In particular, his favorite were the Nael’kerym, or Duskblades; warriors who blended spell and blade into a spectacle of fury. The training Thalion did recieve his village, though adequate, proved lacking. So, against his parent's wishes, he took the family sword and ventured to Amber's Grove.

There, he found a school that taught magic and combat, headed by an Elf who was said to know the old ways. Thalion proved an ambitious and disciplined student. And so, the master brought Thalion along for a special task. The Master told Thalion that the noble was corrupt, and by slaying him, he would help ensure peace in the world. But, it became obvious to Thalion this noble committed no crimes. Despite his attempts to interfere, the noble and his children were slain, and as punishment Thalion was left to take the blame.

In jail, said master came to visit Thalion. He explained many things, how he foresaw what lies ahead, if technology is allowed to spread as it has. How Gabaras was just a precursor of what's to come. How he had friends who understood things as he did. How murdering that noble would ensure their plans succeed. Those friends sat in high places, and they could make Thalion's "crime" go away. The master left Thalion a choice: "You'll be one of my friends. Or you'll be dead. You have until dusk to decide."

When the time came to make his decision, Thalion escaped. By luck, more than anything. But doing so made him a fugitive. He could tell the authorities, but who'd believe him? There was only one way to clear Thalion's name, and that was to capture his master and force him to confess. Except, the school was empty when he returned. Where could he have gone?

It all began with Gabaras' folly!

It was a hunch. A wild guess made from desperation. But, it was better than nothing. And so, Thalion changed his appearance as best he could, stole a sword and some supplies. His next stop, Gabaras.

Magic : Thalion's mana veins appear in two places; spreading from his chest to his abdomen and his arms, and from the crown of his head to his arms. Due to this, his spells are cast through somatic gestures, or by flourishing a weapon.

Bladedance Arcana

Elemental Blade: Channeling mana into a weapon, Thalion can embue a weapon with the power of: Fire, Water, Frost, Lightning, or Air.
Arcane Shot: By gesturing with his hands, Thalion can fire off a blast of pure arcane energy for a ranged attack.
Arcane Shield: By making a gesture with his hand, Thalion can conjure a spell circle expanding from his palm to a diameter of three feet. While able to block most attacks, a considerable amount of force can break the shield.
Moonlit Eyes: By closing his right eye and imagining the moon, Thalion can give himself night vision.

Equipment : Leather-reinforced robes
Dagger
Shepard's Axe
Backpack with basic supplies, including books on arcana and history

CODE: (Pending)

Okay, so I'm thinking over how to implement my character. As aforementioned, he's meant to be a sort of spellsword, focusing on different elemental spells that have combative and utilitarian application. I wonder if, I should have him use the same spells, but apply them in different ways? My main question would be how many spells/abilities is a character allowed to have?

Main thing I need to work out is backstory. Originally, this character is supposed to be some kind of fugitive. The latest iteration of this, was that he was part of some organization that turned out to be corrupt, and he was framed for a murder in order to ensure his silence.

What I do have solid is that he should have traveled to Amber Grove to study magic. He's had dreams of being a kind of "Spell-Knight" like those of legends. He joined an organization in order to further his combative magic skills, and I'll decide if the fugitive bit is necessary or not.
