Eli Phlogiston

Human

(click for bigger pic)

Name: Elijah “Eli” Phlogiston

Age: 18

Appearance: The way Eli looks isn't all that remarkable. The only things that stand out are the odd bandages or scrapes on his face or arms - but for the people that know him well, it's not an uncommon sight. He has small almond shaped brown eyes and his hair is a muddy reddish brown in color, usually with a comb hastily run through it to no avail. He stands a 5'11'' (182cm), and his body frame is boxy. He is by no means an athlete but keeps in decent shape. His personal style favors function over form, but also includes a lot of comfortable clothing.

Personality: Even as a kid, Eli has always been described as down-to-earth. He is a straight forward kind of guy, prone to taking the path of least resistance. He isn't easily stirred to intense emotion, though like anyone he is capable of displaying it if really pushed. Despite the easygoing nature, Eli also has an adventurous heart. His hobbies are hiking and urban exploration, as well as trying out new things. He chips away at projects gradually, prone to dropping things for a new adventure and then coming back to them with a new approach. Basically, Eli goes with the flow of both his own heart and those of the people around him. He doesn't usually sweat the small stuff.

With both friends and strangers he is casual and direct. He is an extrovert that feeds off of positive energy, so he does best in a group and usually seeks out companionship whenever he's alone. He is both trusting and trustworthy, accepting everyone as they are. One major thing about Eli is that he is clumsy or otherwise seems to have bad luck, which is why he's always covered in little nicks and bruises. He's also not particularly good with his hands, so dexterous tasks are beyond him. He has gotten pretty good with first aid though.

History: Eli's life had been pretty average up until the camping trip with his friends. He grew up in a rinky-dink little house with just his mom - single parent, no siblings. They didn't have a lot of money, but they also didn't want for much either.

It was a happy household for the most part, but with his mom working nights and himself in school during the day, Eli was left to his own devices for a lot of the time. He had to find something to do when he was alone, but instead of studying (he gets by fine with his grades as is, only really struggling with some maths and sciences) he took to trying to insert himself into as many different social circles as possible. The more friends, the more stuff he'd have to do so the less bored he would be! It was good in a lot of ways, he learned a lot and got used to talking with people of all stripes. He was hardly ever lonely either. But it also meant a lot of double booking, hurt feelings, peer pressure, and some close calls with more dangerous "friends." The only time he ever remembered his mom yelling at him was one day a police officer had dragged him back home with only a warning.

After that Eli remained friendly with pretty much anyway, but he chose his actual friends a little more seriously. He filled his free time with other random hobbies and a lot of exploration. He'd pretty much memorized the routes of the city's few nature walks. He still never took his schooling seriously though.

Eventually he met a real interesting bunch that all bonded well together despite their differences, a group that he seemed to really click with. He'd pretty much never been happier, but now with graduation and everyone talking about going their separate ways for college, Eli was left questioning what his own plans were. He couldn't exactly tag along with someone... or could he? He had no idea what he wanted to do with himself. The one thing he does know is that he wants to spend as much time with his friends as possible while they're all still together.

Element: Fire

Magical Form: Eli transforms when a burst of colorful flames engulf him. When the fire stops he appears with his wounds and body fat burned away, in peak physical condition. His hair becomes slightly longer, spikier, and more deeply red while his eyes glow orange. The outfit he wears comes across as something a fictional, sensationalized martial artist would wear: dogi pants, slippers with a hard sole, a waist cloth, half vest over a bare chest, and impractically long scarf all in varying light and dark shades of red. The look is accented with bronze and gold bangles, belt cord, and stud earrings.

Weapon: A pair of tight leather-like finger-less gloves, deep mahogany in color. There are studs on the knuckles matching the bronze-gold accessories of his outfit, and the palms of each glove feature two different curious rich red symbols.

Abilities: Eli can conjure flames in a variety of colors, temperatures, and sizes, and wreath himself in them without being harmed. The bigger the fire the more fuel it needs, using his stamina and breath. If he can't breathe, he can't burn. He can control existing fires of a non-magical nature, extinguishing them or making them dance. He can heat up his body in general, including on a cellular level to power up and move faster. Finally, Eli's abilities give him robust regenerative properties. As long as he doesn't take a fatal wound, he can burn energy to heal himself from even the most grievous of injuries. Like all his other abilities, the more severe the wound, the more energy the fire needs to heal it over by making it anew. Unknown if he can extend use of this healing factor on others.

Name: Fenghuang

Appearance: She takes the form of a small bird, more like a chick than anything, less than a foot tall. Her plumage is vibrantly colored in reds and oranges, with some feathery spots appearing iridescent. Though she is lacking in tail feathers, she still looks very regal.

Personality: Fenghuang wasn't surprised about being trapped in her current body, but seeing that it is a great inconvenience to her she is eager to get the boys to hurry up and finish their quest so she can get back to normal. On top of being pushy, she is stubborn and convinced that she is always right. Fenghuang was revered as one of the oldest and wisest sorceresses in the land, and she is not above throwing her experience and rank around to convince others that her way is best. Even if she's proven wrong, she will rarely ever admit it. She is quite a proud bird, and once she gets to know others she grows extremely protective of them.

Hola

Hey there! Welcome to the site!

SPIRITUM

La𝚗ce Bennett

The remainder of the ride (or this portion of it anyway, there was a lot more to go in general) was full of the squad's "normal" antics. It was kind of nice that they all could remain their usual selves - even the most unusual of them. After spending so long together, this being their last hurrah... no, bettering not to bring that up even just to himself. Like he'd said, this was a vacation. It was still much too early in to worry about things like that.

---

La𝚗ce hopped out of the back of the truck, glad to be able to stretch his legs. He raised his arms over his head and laced his fingers together, making a pleased noise when he finished unfolding himself. He fit right in alongside his peers in dusty jeans and a black tank top beneath a gray hoodie so threadbare that it was comfortable even in the heat. The slightly garish scarf he usually kept with him was pulled through the belt loops of his pants, and his orange hair was thoroughly windblown.

As they were speeding down the road, La𝚗ce could see Sapple Springs in all its by-gone glory. Actually being in it, well... "What do they call this kinda place again? ...'quaint'?"

That was probably a good word for it. Too good of a word maybe. La𝚗ce couldn't really hate places like this, stubbornly clinging to life while the world passed them by. That didn't mean he particularly liked them either though. He did roll his eyes at Gerard when he made the comment about it not being good for his shoes, making an exaggerated show out of it.

It had, in fact, been just he and Justice that had come up with their travel plans. No one else was interested, and so the route was focused more on efficiency than comfort. He had a feeling their squad leader might have slipped in one or two pit stops solely as a joke, but he hadn't called her on it.

"I'm sure there's all kinds of excitement here, like... playing is there a scorpion in my shoe? in the morning, and is a hillbilly gonna break into my room? at night." He said, glacing to Silje. He wiggled his fingers ominously as he spoke, but after a moment he seemed to realize that at least one of those things might happen for real. "Okay but actually, do check your shoes later."

While the others wandered away from the truck for the most part, La𝚗ce got to work unloading it. The WARDENs hadn't brought much in the first place - food and drink for the road, maybe a duffel filled with a couple changes of clothes (or more than a couple in Gerard's case). Still, wild animals or nosy humans could get into anything left in the bed overnight. Maybe one of the others could cast a barrier to keep them out now that he thought about it, but he'd already tossed a few bags over the side so might as well keep going.

When Silje had first called out to Kalina, La𝚗ce had just laughed and left them to it. He very much doubted Tony was actually making friends in there, but hopefully the thing about the buffalo didn't set anyone off. Then everyone had more or less made their way to the store and weren't coming back out of it.

Seeing as whatever situation was developing wasn't dying down, La𝚗ce jogged over to see what exactly was going on. He didn't enter the rundown store, instead coming up to stand by Gerard where they could see what was happening through the windows and run in if they were needed.

"Is this a new record?" he asked off-handedly, rubbing at his ear when Gerard's spell went off. He didn't actually think any of Barghest were going to kill these guys if a fight did break out. They were a ragtag bunch, yeah, but they were disciplined. La𝚗ce didn't know what set Tony off, or if Tony had set one of the locals off, but he was going to side with his friend and fellow squadmate even if it was the latter. Especially if it was the latter.

Then Justice stepped in to de-escalate... actually, that hardly sounded like de-escalating.

"I hate when she says shit like that," La𝚗ce sighed. Maybe "is a hillbilly gonna break into my room?" would actually be a real thing they'd have to worry about, along with the scorpions.

Helloo!

Welcome! Nice to see people still getting into the hobby. Have fun!

Any of y'all have a Quaxly in SV laying around that I can have for dex completion? I've been catching everything + surprise trading non stop as much as possible, but surprise trade just keeps giving Sprigatito and Fuecoco whenever people are trading SV starters.

@Kuro

Do you still need one? I started with that and think I have a few left from breeding, or can just breed another one.

Introducing

Welcome to RPG! Hope you enjoy your stay. Can't say I've gone poetic RP but sounds neat.
I suppose I'd be a marm/quest giver, personally ^^
