Kaze

This is a character I made for another RPG a long time ago that completely died before I got a chance to develop him, so hopefully I'll be able to here.

***

Name: Kaze (pronounced KAH-zay)
Age: 20
Race: Human/Sylph
Race Description: Sylphs are spirits of the air, similar to elves but taller. They have light colored, often white, hair and watery blue eyes. Their skin is pale, and they can easily look sickly because of their thinness. Magic and divination come easily to them, and most are telepathic. (This is a collective description from various sources.)
Sex: Male
Hair: White, black bangs
Eyes: Grey
Weight: 130 lbs. (Not thin, sylphs don't weigh much, though is being half-human makes him a little heavier than most)
Height: 6'0''

Weapon: Twin daggers that can act as catalysts and wands for certains spells to direct them at their target.

Armor: Leather jacket, steel-toed boots (though he must shed them in midair to prevent having to use hurricane-force winds to lift himself).

Strengths: Agility, quick reflexes, can easily avoid ranged attacks.

Weakness: Easily distracted, gullable, weak physical defense.

Skills/Magic: Aerokinesis, limited flight, and basic magic skills. Knows a few small spells regarding the elements of earth, fire, and water, but obviously specializes in air. He doesn't use telekinesis, but can manipulate the air to move objects for him. As a sylph, he has psychic powers, but his humanity has dilluted them some, so it's mostly limited to the occaisional dream-premonition and a strong skill with divination equipment, especially Tarot cards.

Personality: Distant to strangers, and shy with new people, but when you get to know him he's extremely friendly. Never one to pick a fight, his battle style is mostly defensive because he doesn't like aggression. He's noble and honorable, not to mention polite. He doesn't hold a grudge, and can easily forgive anyone, as long as an apology is given. Sometimes, though, he's forgiving to the point of gulability, and can be easily decieved.

Appearance:

History: He was raised by a single mother and grandparents, and was always taught respect from a very young age. They held a high status, and had easily been able to cover their daughter's unexpected pregnancy. No one had known Kaze's father, who had given him his white hair and strange name. Even his mother, Danielle, wasn't too familiar with him. He was merely a drunken one-night-stand, and after he impregnated her he seemed to drop off the face of the planet.

When Kaze reached adolescence, two things happened to change his life forever. First, he realized he was homosexual. Second, he realized he could control the air. The former he hid from his family, but the latter he showed his mother and grandparents with great pride. Of course, that turned out to be a mistake, because as prestigous as his grandparents were, they wouldn't allow themselves to have a freak for a grandson. So they sent him to a school for magic in another city miles and miles away, where his teachers taught him to hone his gift. They also taught him some basic magic as well, and how to fight. In all truth, Kaze was grateful for the chance to leave. He'd never been a social butterfly, and the only person he truly cared about in their town was his mother, and she would be able to visit him every once in a while.

When he graduated, only his mother arrived for the ceremony. She had saved up money from the time he was sent away just for this event, and what hadn't been used to pay for transportation to the school was spent on his gift. She had talked to a local blacksmith who forged two special daggers for him. They were simple, but elegant, with ivory handles and two streaks of ebony down the sides. Everything else was made of steel, and they had black leather sheaths with streaks of white down the sides in direct negative to his dagger handles.

After he graduated, Kaze decided to find his father. He knew nothing about the man, except that his mother told him that he looked just like him, save for the black streaks in his bangs and the grey eyes, both of which came directly from his mother. He's been travelling alone for the last two years, barely staying fed, other than the few times a month he gets to stay at a hotel and get money from his mother.

If sylph's don't weigh much, then why is he 170 pounds? Do you mean 70?

Fix that, and it's approved.

Technically, that doesn't apply to him entirely, since he's only half-sylph, and for a 6-foot-tall man, that's pretty light, but I'll go ahead and lower it a bit more if it would make it more suitable.

130 okay? Cuz then he'd be the same weight as a 5'4'' girl.

Approved-z0rz. *stamps*
