Errol Alert

The ability to create sentient beings from glass and in any shape so long as it mimics a creature Errol has seen.
Golems that are smaller than those who command them will always obey.

• Golems can be made from solid glass, or made to be hollow, or a mix. Hollow golems are faster, lighter, and can contain liquid or other things, but are more fragile.
• Golems can be taught. Upon creation, they have a basic understanding of language and words, and commands must be simple. "Get water," "empty out," "go there," "follow me," etc. Their intelligence can be considered close to a 3-year-old, but they learn quickly, both by observation and tutoring.

The ability to create and manipulate glass. Previously-made glass can be freely recycled.
He has the ability to levitate glass materials, though it is only strain-free to do so slowly- think walking speed. Any faster will cause a mental strain and eventual headache.

In order to create glass cost-free, sand must be nearby. If there is no or not enough sand, the creation draws on stamina, and overuse may cause vomiting, loss of vision, and loss of consciousness, much like when one is overworked.

Errol frequently makes containers for easier transportation of herbs and liquid.
He also loves planting and growing things in glass.
If he has access to stone, lava (or any other heat source sufficient for melting stone,) and water, he can also create obsidian, as obsidian is a glass.

The ability to create and manipulate crystals. Previously-made crystals can be freely recycled.
He has the ability to levitate crystal materials, though it is only strain-free to do so slowly- think walking speed. Any faster will cause a mental strain and eventual headache.

• Creation heavily draws on stamina, overuse may cause vomiting, loss of vision, and loss of consciousness.

Errol dislikes fighting and hurting others and prefers to avoid combat as much as he can, and if forced, is more prone to rither lay down and submit or run rather than fight back. But if it's his life or the other, he can force himself to fight. How he responds in a fight depends on what materials and of what quantity he has access to.

In an ideal location, such as on a beach or other abundantly sandy area, Errol will respond more defensively, forming shields and other deflecting moves, while making occasional jabs if he has to. More than anything, he wants the battle to cease. If the opponent is undeterred he'll form a dome of outward-facing glass shards to protect himself. If even this fails and the opponent is determined enough to find or force a way through, Errol will finally respond offensively, attacking with long shards of glass flying through the air, aiming for crippling areas- the feet, knees, elbows, and- as a last resort- the eyes. He may also launch tiny shards of glass- powder, essentially- in the face of his opponent.

In a less ideal location, Errol will be quicker to fight as his resources are smaller. He may defend himself with a dome of glass shards, but not as densely as in an ideal location. He'll focus on disabling or slowing the opponent enough to escape, aiming almost exclusively for the aforementioned crippling areas- and isn't so adverse to the eyes.
In an awful location, such as with an utter lack of sand, Errol will be in a constant state of last resort. He will primarily utilize crystals and his orb, and will initially attempt to aim for the crippling areas- though depending on circumstances may aim for anything, trying to impale or maim his opponent with long, nearly unbreakable spears of crystal.

Outside of his powers, as is characteristic of cheetahs, he will fight by biting, tearing out the fur, and attempting strangulation.

Errol was born in Emeredite from Emereditian parents, and Gifted with magic. Because of the seal on magic, he was unable to learn any more about his gifts, and believed himself to be gifted with luck. Because of this, he attributes every bad thing that happens to him to be a sort of 'penance' - bad luck equalizing out his good luck, a quest that seems ineffective due to his extreme moments of both great and horrible luck.

As he grew up, he became obsessed with once more balancing his luck. He would put himself in harm's way, letting terrible things happen to him in the name of this venture. His greatest moment of horrible luck was the death of his entire family during the Third Great War. He believed this to be the time his luck truly balanced.

Soon after he met Early - a Tuaruan man who he very quickly fell in love with due to his optimism. Years after, when he learned Early reciprocated these feelings, he believed this to be an overbalance of good luck, and though allowing himself to indulge in a relationship, eventually getting married to Early, forever condemned himself, believing that meeting this man was an overbalance so great he would never equalise. 

Though old, he did partake in the final battle against the Toymaster. He died with Early in a euphoric state, thinking that with his death and his possession his luck had finally balanced out.
