"It's not my story-- It's yours."


ORIGINS

Teller remembers... little of his life before. To his knowledge, he lived a life until he was assigned his role.
He does not know why he was chosen, or how he was chosen, or by whom he was chosen- only that he was.
He has assumed that over the past millennia, he has simply forgotten his own past in favor of the past of thousands. Regardless, it doesn't bother him much.
Although maybe it should.

Afterall, shouldn't a god of story and fate know his own?


POWERS, APPLICATIONS, AND WEAPONRY

Teller has an acute awareness of foreshadowing. Well, as acute as he can anyways.
This gives him a special awareness of significant events and a feeling (NOT knowledge) of what will come to pass.

Despite his years, Tell has not aged in many years.
Mentally, physically... maybe it's just slow, but it's not noticeable.

It is not any form of weapon, but he can summon/direct a gold fluid.
It is most useful, maybe only useful, when using it as a visual explanation.
There's a good change it has other capabilities, but he doesn't care to figure them out.

He cannot change time, nor reality, nor minds, nor hearts... but he does change fate.
Teller has an ability to warp events that have not happened. It is unclear of how he does so.
Even if he did know how he did it, he couldn't control when he does it... it's still a useful skill nonetheless.
Would be unnoticeable if not for the golden light pulsing through his veins and his inability to speak until the change passes.
Induces synesthesia in those who hear him for a few hours after: his words are golden.

He cannot see the future, mind you, but he can still tell it; although the accuracy of his prophecies varies.
His skills have slowly improved over time, getting simpler and more accurate, even if they are not simple or accurate.
He is struggling to solve his riddles as much as anyone else is, but writing down non-material synesthesiac visions overlaid on reality isn't exactly easy.
He is lucky if they make sense, and even luckier if the "target" is able to receive their prophecy before all relevancy is lost.


DISPOSITION
 
Knowing | Indecisive | Genuine | Kind | Logical

He is mellow, but not out of age or exhaustion; he simply enjoys the control that comes with calmness. It's very rare that he loses his temper, although its happened more than once.  He avoids it when he can, but it's the reoccurring things that get to him.

He has a type of suave charm about him, and it is very likely intentional, seeing as it will fade away around those he trusts... A "truer" teller is one of flustered laugher and teasing humor, but there haven't exactly been many people to share that with. Often his enjoyment of lighthearted fun will slip out through the cracks of his act, but ironically they just make him seem all the more sincere and likable. 

Between how grounded he is and how confident he is, he truly does radiate a sense of wisdom: a sense is a true as it is false. Yes, he is a knowledgeable man who has seen more than a lifetime of things, but No, he doesn't have the slightest clue on how to implement these things into his own life, or even if he should.
If wisdom is about knowing the right thing to do, then he has none; if wisdom is about knowing both things are right, then he has plenty.



APPEARANCE

His hair is a silvery faun (though not from age) with hints of red.
His round eyes are a deep golden orange, with flashes of rich chocolate.
His is nose sharp and straight, not upturned or downturned, though it complements his face.
His smile is kind and warm, even when he bites his lips enough to make them bleed. The anxiety comes and goes, as does the blister.
His face as a whole is fairly handsome, even if most of it is his personality. Diamond shaped, slightly soft, but still thin and shapely. His glasses compliment it perfectly.

His shoulders are broad, but don't overpower his frame.
His arms are average in size, but carry decent muscle, even if it is often hidden.
His hands are surprisingly slender, maybe even a little small- but they are powerful.
His chest is not as toned as his arms, but more so than his stomach. Golden scars run across each pectoral.
His stomach has muscle, but it has fat as well. It is covered by a soft layer of minky hair, hiding another golden scar.
His legs are too long for his body, though it is hard to notice. They are thick with muscle as they are with fat, but they work well for his age.
His body as a whole is in fairly good shape, but it is not perfect. It is not an ideal as much as it is an average, but if nothing else, he is happy with it.
