Character Biography - Vail

Raised an elven prince, Vail is very noble and was dedicated to his people and his kingdom before meeting a dark witch called Kordula. After she came into his life, he turned against his men and his people, and went to war with his brother, Loren.

Vail has done terrible things in the forty-two centuries he has been at war with Loren and has become tainted with darkness that threatens to corrupt his soul. He constantly fights the darkness now living within him, but at times it overwhelms him and seizes control. He has lost hope of saving himself, but his brother continues to attempt to reach him and bring him back, and just as Vail feels all is lost, fate brings him his one shot at salvation.

Vital Statistics

Lives in:: No fixed location.
Series:: Eternal Mates.
Species:: Dark Elf.
Job / Position:: Former prince.
Physical Appearance Notes:: Vail appears to mortal eyes as a male in his mid-thirties. He is sculpted and very beautiful, but masculine too. Classically handsome, with a straight nose and cut jaw. Very sensual mouth with slightly fuller lower lip, rosy against his pale skin. Dark slashes for eyebrows. As with all elves, his ears are pointed but he can alter their appearance, making them more human so he can blend into the mortal world. When he loses his temper, his ears grow pointed and flare back against the sides of his head..
Height:: 6'6"
Build:: Tall, lithe figure, with square shoulders tapering into a narrow waist, toned muscles. Athletic. Similar to his brother.
Hair Colour / Style:: Black, wild and tousled.
Eye Colour:: Purple in his normal appearance, but steel-blue-grey when he's trying to blend in among humans.
Manner of Speech:: Vail is like Loren in that he speaks very formally, almost old-world. He was raised well and has studied other languages extensively, so knows most of the demon tongues and the mortal one too. He doesn't speak much though. Not anymore.
Manner of Dress:: He wears his armour most of the time. It resides as two black and silver metal bands around his wrists most of the time but when he mentally commands it, it covers his body like black scales, reaching right up to his chin. It turns his fingers into long sharp claws too, and is extremely flexible. He has a helm too, black and jagged. It flares up from his head in serrated curved spikes, and covers his brow to his eyebrows, coming to a point above the bridge of his nose, and sweeps down to curve along his jaw.
Tattoos / Scars:: He has a track of markings that curl on his deltoids, and then flow over his shoulders to caress just below his collarbones and then swirl downwards over his pectorals. They snake down his spine and curl around his hips too, dipping low to graze his groin before they sweep upwards to spiral around his hips / buttocks. Only royalty are born with these markings. They're colourful, elvish markings. They don't show under normal circumstances.
Partner:: Rosalind.
Parents:: Deceased.
Siblings:: Loren, his older brother.
Preferred Weapon:: He prefers to use his telekinetic powers, twin short black blades or his claws.
Combat Skills:: He's extremely skilled at fighting, using a combination of weapon attacks and bodily attacks, like martial arts. He'll switch between attacking with telekinesis to keep space around him, and using his weapons. He's vicious and will use his claws, telekinesis and raw strength to slash, stab and weaken his opponents. He's savage and brutal, but graceful and elegant too. He takes sadistic pleasure from fighting hand to hand now, satisfaction that shines darkly in his violet eyes with every blow of his claws and fists.
Other Skills:: Vail, like all elves, has strong telekinesis skills, and the ability to mentally command objects like his armour, and bring items to him from his rooms and send items back there. He can teleport, travelling via the portals in his world from anywhere in this world, and has incredibly sharp senses. He can speak many languages, including elvish and the demon tongues. He has a powerful connection to nature that is stronger than Loren's, and more like his mother's. He can heal nature, repairing splintered wood and reversing any damage done to it by holding his hand above the affected area and focusing on it. He can also use abilities more akin to sorcery. He uses it to block Loren from finding him, closing the connection between them.
