Age: 28

Race: Human

Sex: Male
Hair: originally brown/-bald.

Eyes: Purple.

Weight: 98
Height: 4'7

Weapon: none.
Armor: none

Strengths: Since my character is lacking majorly in physical attributes, he depends mainly on his magic skills. Also, since he is blind, his other four senses (smell, taste, sound, and touch) are highly intuned, allowing him to know his surounding better than if he could see. Also, he has better advantage in the dark, mainly because his oppenent cannot see that well, and it does not really mae a difference to him because he cannot see anyway.

Weakness: Well, obviously he is very weak to direct physical attacks. One regular punch is equal to like five punches to him. Also, since his hearing is very intuned, he is more sensitive to loud noises. Another weakness is that he cannot walk either. Due to his condition (read bio.) he has lost the ability to walk, and relys on his hovering......I guess you would call it a seat (Kind of like that thing yoda road on in episode II when talking to Obi-wan and Mace Windu)to get him around.

Skills/Magic: He is very skilled in the magical arts. Since his physical status is not the greatest, all he can really rely on is his magic. Some basic magical skills include Telekenis [the ability move objects with one's mind] and telepathy [ability to read one's thoughts]. Some elemental skills include the ability to manipulate water and some fire [not mass quantaties]. He also has the ability to create sheilds, which is used as his only defense.

Appearance: Lyraxus is a very short, skinny, almost febile like person. He is bald with very pale white skin. His attire mainly consist of his black robes which he wears most of the time.

Personality: lyraxus is a very, quite, kind, outspoken individual. He outlook on life is not to worry about the you, but to worry about other. He is a hero to the end to say the lest. What he lacks in physically, he makes up in courage. He enjoys challenges and puzzles. He loves to keep his mind working. But his other personality is far different. The other being in his mind, Known as Rask, is a more dark individual. He enjoys tourturing people and watching them suffer. He has none of the same interests as Lyraxus, he hates puzzles and challenges. They bore him. He would rather smash and destroy things. Use his power to the full extent and to be treated as though he is a god.

Biography:
Lyraxus was born Otario Melavichi by his two parents, Lyiona and Raxetoli Melacivichi in the tuscan hills of Italy. He was an only child, living with his mom and dad in medium size house located next to Lake Nevalanti (not a real lake) But, things were not good for Otario when he arrived to on this earth. He was born with a rare cervical cancer which was located at the base of his spine. There was not much could be done for Otario because of the location of his cancer. But the doctor said that most of the cells which causea it to take effect were inactive, and that it would only have a minor effect on him. Such as he may have a harder time walking than most children, but he would eventually grow out of it. All was well for the first two year of his life, until one day when he was out playing in the vinyard, his parents nocticed that he was having problems seeing things in front of him. Thinking that mabey is was just from him being out in the sun to long, his parents brought him in and fed him his carrot and tomatoe tonic that the doctor had perscribed for his eyes. But this did not seem to help anything, and his parents became concerned. So, the next morning, they called his doctor, and scheduled an appointment. Once the docotor examend him, he gave his parents the news, and, it was just as they had feared, the cancer cells had activated. Unsure what to do, the doctor sugested that they keep himat the hospital for a period of two monthes to under go a series of tests and treatments to see if they could some how deactivate the cells. So for the first month they put him through a series of test which were both long and painful for Otario. The whole process was begining to take a toll on him. Now almost three, Otario had the physical strength of a five month old baby. His parents were so affraid for their son, they could not sleep or even focus on life around them. They both lost their jobs, leaving them without a way to pay for Otario's medical bills. Soon after that, the hospital told them that they could no longer care for Otario, and they basicaly kicked them out of the hospital. Now, jobless, with a sick baby, and unable to feed him, the Melavichis' did what alot of parents would do in this situation, they put him up for adoption.
But this was more difficult than they thought it would be because not very many people would want to adopt a dying baby. They searched all over Europe, hoping to find some one who would adopt thier son, but no one would. So, they decided to send him to America, the land of opprotunity. But, they soon realized that America was no better than Europe. Just like in Europe, there were a lot of people who would not adopt a dying baby. But after searching for nearly a month, they finally found a family in sounthern Nevada that would take him. The meeting with the family was a short one. They family that they found was part of the Navejo tribe. But the good thing about this was, that the father of the family was the tribe Shaman, and was incharge of all the neighboring villages (which were not very big). The family was also known by the locals as the "Witch-Tribe family" because they practiced ancient magic of their ancestors. Such magic included changing the weather, causing fire to dance down the streets alongside water. The family was also know for practicing the art of telepothy, being able to read minds of the villagers. Some even say that the father was able to force people into doing things against thier will. But regardless of what people said, the Melavichis' still agreed to sign thier son over to the family. Though, the never did get the family's last name, as a matter of fact, they never even got their first names as well. But they did not seem that concerned, they were just happy to finally have some one to take care of thier son.
The family raised Otario as if he was their own. But, is cancer was still taking a great affect on him, but his new family helped him through his trials. Knowing that he would not be able to rely on his body, the taught him the ancient ways and magic of they're ancestors. They taught him how to move things with his mind, manipulate elements such as water and fire. His new father, whom he he called, papi, even taught him how to read the minds of others, and speak to them in thier mind. but, he did not teach them how to control their minds, just how to hear and speak to them. Also since Otario was blind, they taught him to rely on his other four sences to help him along. His hearing became ten times better than that of a normal human, his touch and taste became extremely hightend, along with his sence of smell too. He trained himself hear his suroundings, which gave him the advantage in tight spots. He also found that he could manuvure better in the dark than most people, because others could not see in the dark, and it didn't matter to him because he could not see in the light or dark.
Then, when Otario turned 18, he had to perform a task that would prove that he is a worthy man of his tribe and able to go one his own. His task was to go deep in the desert and retrieve and ancient vase which had the reamains of an ancient magician who was casted out into the desert, and burned alive by sand hermits [wild and crazy people who live in the desert]. Legend has it, that if the ashes are inhaled, the person who inhaled them would recieve great power, that far greater than any shaman in the land. Once Otario set off, he immediatly realized that this was not going to be an easy task. He had to fight the elements of the desert, hunger, animals, and ofcourse the sand hermits. He searched for five long days, until finally he came across the shrine which housed the remains of the Magician. Gaured by an ancient puzzle, Otario was forced to use his witts and magic to sovle the puzzle. after two days of trying, he finally unlocked the shrine. Once he entered the shrine, he immediatly felt a dark presence with him. He searched the room, feeling and smelling his way around until he came across a vase. He grabed the vase and quickly ran out of the room. So excited, and not paying attention, Otario forgot of his condition and tried to sprint like a normal person, but, he failed. Has soon as he left the shrine he collapsed on the ground, shattering the vase and releasing the ashes into the air. Struggleing to get up, Otario inhaled the ashes of the magician, and immediatly felt a surge of magic rush through his viens. His body began to twist and shake and his hands bagan shooting brust of energy from them. With all this power consuming him, he became light headed, and was rendered unconcious. He feld as though he was falling through an endless pit of dark fears and pain. Haunting images of his family being slaughterd were flashing before his eyes. Unable to bear anymore, Otario finally awoke. But when he awoke, he was shocked to what he had found.
He was no longer in the desert, but home. But all was not the same as he had left it. His house was on fire and there, lying in the front yard, was his famiyl.......dead. He soon realized that those images he saw in his head were real. But who would do such a horrible thing. Then, all the sudden, he heard a voice in his head. A horrible voice that caused his spin to shiver. The voice spoke of anger and rage and power, and then spoke of how he had been in captivity in the vase for what seemed like an eternity. Then he spoke of how Otario was the one responsible for his family's death, and that he could no longer be seen here. Saddend and confused, Otario listened to every word the voice said. Leaving behind his home and family, and fled to the east, back towards his original home. But soon after they began back to Italy, the cancer took another toll. Otario began to lose his ability to walk..then, he was unable to feel his legs at all. Using a wooden disk his father gave him to use as a shield, he sat on it, and lifted it with his mind. And off he set, back home to Italy, to face his real parents, and hopefuly get information out of the voice that now inhabited, and influenced Otario's mind. Otario then left his old name behind, taking on a new name. On meaning "death of the kindest heart" in ancient tongue of his adopted family, Lyraxus.

* also, a bit of info on Rask..
Rask is the dark side of Lyraxus's mind. He is full of rage and anger, and he loves to use power. Since he is part of Lyraxus's mind, he is sometimes able to control Lyraxus's actions. But the only time he is able to take control is when Lyraxus is angry or in severe pain. You will know when Rask is in control because Lyraxus's appearence will slightly change. His eyes well turn red and his skin becomes a greyish color. Not only that, but a symbol of a wolf will appear on Lyraxus's forehead. One thing to know about Rask is that he is a ruthless combatant. He uses the most gruesom tactics to bring his enemies down. Not only will he bring them down, but he will presist to tourture them until they are either dead, or wish they were dead. also, rask has a better control over magic thatn lyraxus does.

Approved. Go forth, and kill.
