The Revenant Warrior
Golden child, lion boy; tell me what it's like to conquer
Personality
Stoic and reserved, Elladan’s presence is a quiet one- more so when accompanied by his brother and sister who often seem to outshine him despite the former being even more sombre than Elladan. He finds himself most at ease when alone or in the company of nature, perhaps a little adverse to small talk and idle chatter. He shares that similarity with his brother however where Lumaris actively shuns company, Elladan can be perfectly conversational and cordial. Ever a gentleman he conducts himself with unwavering honour, even when fighting, despite questioning the mortality of his grandfather who leads the clan. Calm and steadfast he is slow to anger and considers his actions carefully in such a situation. This has meant, among the group of warriors Duraan surrounds himself with, Elladan has become the tactician.
Despite being more inclined towards his own company, Elladan is adventurous and kind with a wit he rarely allows to show and a charm reserved only for those who know him well. However he is also greatly haunted by his experience of death and wonders why his family brought him back through so much pain. Feeling something of an outsider even among his peers, they regard him with a mixture of mild intrigue and slight awe, particularly given that his body is entirely different. (218)
History
- Born in the southern land of Inbali, Elladan comes from a long line of Lords and Nobles with his grandfather currently presiding over those who settle in the land.
- Alongside his brother, Lumaris, he received training in magic within the Mage Order in the city from a young age, travelling all over Ritha to learn from various experts and practitioners. The siblings were also schooled rather precisely in the art of battle and became proficient with combat as well as magic.
- His grandfather, Duraan, liked to collect elite warriors and prided himself upon his circle of highly skilled mages and fighters known as the Ring. Elladan and Lumaris both earned their place among the Ring at a surprisingly young age but were honoured by the accolade.
- That was, until they found themselves serving as little more than Duraan’s personal army, doing his dirty work and aiding his corrupt machinations.
- Elladan, moral being that he was, struggled with his new appointment but he had sworn an oath to his people and to his grandfather and he could not break his word.
- An assassination attempt was made on Duraan by his former personal guard and a male accomplice during which time Elladan was actually killed.
- However using dark magic his soul was trapped and whilst his physical body perished, his soul was thrust into another body with the same magical affinity.
- No longer willing to stand for his grandfather’s corrupt antics, Elladan took it upon himself to leave Inbali and head north in pursuit of the would-be assassin.
- Events between his “resurrection” and his leaving include the death of his parents, Lumaris’ marriage and the subsequent death of his partner.

Terrakinesis
With Elladan being so grounded and so in-tune with nature it would be no surprise that his magic allows him command over the earth. Able to manipulate nature around him Elladan can cause trees and plants to grow and move, usually to attack or to bind. He can only manipulate plants and similar ‘living’ things, meaning he can’t manipulate rocks or minerals. He is reliant entirely upon the presence of trees and plants and places like a barren desert would render him with little connection to his abilities. His earth powers also allow him a competent understanding of healing and herbs, meaning he knows what plants to put on wounds etc.
Though Elladan cannot do much wit the foliage draped upon his whithers and antlers, he can enlargen the patches or alter what blooms from the moss. Usually he will shrink the foliage that sits upon his back and shoulders so that it doesn't interfer with his cloak and scabbards.
Like his brother, Elladan has more raw power than he does control, he marginal discipline gained only after years of tutoring. His magic is likely to arise when he feels strong emotions. When he's particularly happy, plants around him might start sprouting flowers (or he may even grow flowers on his antlers or whithers). When he's angry plants might start to twist and move, unsettled and ansty. On rare occasions plants may even wither and die in his presence if he does not maintain control.
Currently Elladan can only encourage small growth in plants; he cannot make anything larger than a horse unless it is already larger (for example a tree- but even then they are harder to control). As his power grows the length of time for which he can control plants and the amount by which he can change them will increase.
Costs
- Magic is weakened under specific circumstances// Elladan must be around plants of some kind for his magic to work, he is unable to manipulate other natural materials. So if there are no plants to manipulate then his magic becomes redundant. The distance at which he can manipulate plants is 70ft. He is only able to alter their size, position and growth stage. He cannot turn a bush into a tree or a mushroom into a berry nor can he bring plants back to life that have entirely died.
- Magic use fatigues the caster// Elladan's magic requires engergy, the more he uses it the more energy he spends. Using too much can render him vulnerable, exhausted, unconcious or even dead. Currently with his cost so close to his power and discipline he tires more quickly than he would with more time and training.
