Personality
Silver is a veteran of countless battles over his 400-year lifespan, he has never been afraid to jump into a fight even it might cost him his life. Despite that he is still haunted by the mistakes of his past, but that has not changed his calm and gentle attitude, he will help those that need it and protect those that ask. Even though he is calm sometimes silver will slide back into a much more darker part of himself, something he tries to hide but can’t, for those that can sense it his energy is much darker reflecting his demon nature, he is more likely to fight someone instead of trying to calm the situation, but him being in dark mood is rare.
Background
Silver never knew his parents or at least he does not remember them, he has spent most of his life wandering from place to place taking odd jobs just to survive until one of those jobs got a close friend of his killed. After his friends’ death silver trained in the Snow elf city of Shimmer Gloom. during this time, he learned several sword styles but at the time he only mastered the two-sword style he prefers he was also trained in a variety of other weapons, while he trained with weapons he practiced magic in secret because of the Mages tower rules banning any mage from learning how to use other weapons besides a staff. After several years silver joined the guardians and fought against creatures that wanted to destroy his realm. after a long a brutal war very few guardians remained those that did went their separate ways, most settled down for a normal life but those that had acquired the rank of sage like silver they turned to being wanderers and adventurers honing their skills and just exploring different realms.
Abilities/Weapons
This is a blanket disclaimer to anyone who is reading this, not all of these powers will be used in the course of any roleplay unless it is with npcs. This character will only fight unless asked to or if someone is fighting his family.
Silver is considered one of the greatest mages in his world, he has mastered a significant amount of spells and abilites in many different schools of magic. He has honed these skills during centuries of war that has left him scarred and in some cases not very caring towards other living beings besides those he deems worth it. Silver is generally a laid back and very quiet person and not quick to anger, what will set him off is if someone tries to hurt those he cares about. It is possible to push Silver to the limits that he cant fight anymore but that can only be achieved if you are just as powerful as Silver or more so.
There are some significant drawbacks to some of Silvers powers but you will have to watch Silver as he fights to find out what those are, I cant spoil all the fun of finding out now can I. Silver is incredibly skilled in a variety of hand to hand styles and swords styles. Even without his magic Silvers speed and skill with weapons make him a dangerous opponent. His fighting style without magic could be called mixed he uses his twin swords mainly but he will still kick, punch, and throw people around if he is unarmed or armed.
Silver has always had the ability to teleport, he can use it in a couple different ways. He can only teleport while in combat and needs two turns to cool down before he can use it again.
Another of Silver natural abilities is to summon a black mist that he can use to enhance his spells whether they be offensive or defensive. He can also use it to spot people that are invisible, he cant see them but the mist moving tells him where they are. He can also thicken it to slow people down and make them waste energy trying to walk through it. It can be augmented with a spell that will drain anyone of their magical energies but it is not a spell he uses very often at all. He can also use it to seal his wounds to stop bleeding and he can use it to bind his bones together if they are broken. This mist can also summon hands to grab and hold his opponents. They can be avoided but if you are grabbed it will be hard to get loose but not impossible
Silvers body is much harder than most, people that have fought him describe hitting Silver like hitting a stone. Silvers superhuman durability has helped him survive falls from over 200 feet with almost no bones breaking but the pain was almost unbearable. His skin might be tougher than most but it can still be pierced with weapons. He might be more durable than most but he can still be taken down.
Learned Skills and abilities
These are things that Silver has learned and trained with over the centuries and they are not connected to the natural abilities that he was born with.
Twin Sword style- Silver learned how to use a blade when he was barely able to hold one. The style he learned was called the Dra Velve style. He is the only one alive that is a master of the style and that is because all other masters died in combat before they could share their knowledge. This style focuses on fluid and quick movements often the attacks are meant to chip away at someones defense leaving them with small wounds until the blood loss became to great to keep going allowing Silver to make a killing blow. This style does have big attacks but they tend to leave Silver open after he uses them. He does use this style often but not exclusively he often mixes in other styles as well.
Single blade sword style 1- Silver has become a master in a single blade style that is known to the snow elves as the reapers dance, This style is aggressive and ruthless. Almost all of the attacks used in the style are made to kill as fast as possible, while one part of the style of for defense the others rely on the speed and power of the person using it to end the fight as fast a possible and often in the most brutal ways possible. A example of how brutal it can be is a master at one point used his blade to not only cut his opponents heart out but instead of removing the sword from his chest he cut the man in half completely. Silver will mix this style into his two sword style but he dials it back so its not as aggressive. But that is not to say Silver wont go all out with this style and if he does his opponents better be ready.
Single blade Style 2- Silver learned this particular style from the shield maidens that protected the queen in his home realm. This is a defensive style that is often done with a shield along with a sword but Silver modified his use of the style so he could use just one sword or two if the situation called for it. It does not have any attacks unless counters are considered attacks. The style uses the speed and momentum of whoever its used against to throw them off balance and keep them from attacking properly so he can get the killing blow.
Silver also knows several hand to hand styles but he never learned the names of them, during the heat and confusion of war the men who taught him the styles either died or didnt care to teach him the name. The hand to hand styles he learned are similar to his sword styles but he tends not to rely on them unless his is without his weapon. The style he mainly uses in hand to hand consists of Silver throwing people around and breaking bones instead of going straight for the kill.
Elven marksmen- Due to his elven heritage Silver was trained from a young age to use a bow and through centuries of practice has become a proficient archer. There are others much better than him but he is skilled enough he can hit a hawk flying through the air. Silver also carries a half dozen small blades on him that he can throw with great accuracy and he typically hits his mark every time as long as they are within 20 feet of him. When it gets further out it becomes more difficult to hit his target.
Alchemy- This set of skills has nothing to do with magic in fact in Silvers world alchemy is the practice of making potions and poisons from the plants and materials on hand. Silver tends not use make poisons since he feels its a cowards way to get rid of their enemies. Silver only uses his alchemy skills to make the potion that treats his illness as well as healing potions and a few potions that can help one breath under water and even withstand greater amounts of heat.
Healing potion- This potion is only used in extreme cases but Silver often gives it to others to use since he has other ways he can heal. The potion will heal internal injuries up to fatal ones if drank but if poured on a wound it will stop the bleeding temporarily on large wounds so it can be stitched up. It does not work on fatal wounds.
Pain reliever- Silver also carries several pain numbing potions that he has been known to use during a right so he can keep fighting. He will give it to others to keep them going as well but mostly to calm them down. The effects of the potion will only last an hour.
Ethereal poison- Silver saves this potion for special occasions due to the fact it has no odor. He does not put it in peoples drink if Silver has to use it he will coat his sword in it. The poison wont kill whoever is affected by it but it will case extreme pain and paralyze most victims either allowing Silver to kill them or to take them wherever he needs to.
One ability Silver has and it can barely be called an ability but its a madness that kicks in if Silver has been knocked out in a fight. Even though his mind is not aware of what is going on his body will continue to fight as hard as it can, In this state Silver will fight harder than he ever has before without holding back. He can cause this state consciously after decades of training but it is not as powerful as it normally would be because Silver is still somewhat in control preventing him from killing anyone he does not want to. Its also to ensure those not part of the fighting get hurt by him in this state.
The next ability Silver has is what he calls void mimicry, when this ability is used Silver cant tell what the spell is before hand but once he sees it he will replicate it as close as he can. It might not be as powerful as the original spell but it could still kill someone if they were not prepared for it. This ability is only made more dangerous because of Silvers mastery over magic, This ability combined with Silvers vast knowledge of magic can make him a devastating opponent to face. This ability can be applied to physical skills but it is not reading it or telling what they are going to do its more of Silver copying their style and mixing their moves in with his own to confuse opponents. This part of the ability is not as precise as it is with magic so Silver does not use it often. It does take a toll on Silvers body as well, it can drastically cut down the time Silver can fight making him try to end the fight as soon as possible. All spells and attacks Silver copies while using this ability are quickly forgotten after he stops using it.
The last of Silver natural abilities is both a blessing and a curse. It is an illness called mana sickness. Most people that contract it die from it in one way or another but due to what Silver is it will never kill him. It does however weaken Silvers body making just day to day things incredibly painful. If Silver didnt have this illness he would be far more powerful than he is now. Even though it wreaks havoc on Silvers body he can use the illness to his advantage, after training for years to stay in shape Silver figured out his strain of the illness will not be transmitted to other people but it would still affect them. The black liquid Silver occasionally coughs up can be used on his opponents to drain their magic and energy. This makes them feel like they have been fighting for days or running a marathon. the liquid can also be added to flame spells to make them hot enough to melt metal. It can be added to weapons as well, the effect of it allows Silver to temporarily change the enchantments on his weapon to help him in a fight.
The one thing Silver always has on him is his personal spellbook, it is filled with all the spells Silver has created and all the ones he has learned through his centuries of life. There are a few spells in the book that Silver cannot do but he keeps them for when there is someone who can use them. The spells in this book vary greatly in power and uses. There are some spells that Silver can use over and over without any issues but there are a lot that take enough energy from Silver it will take him a moment to recover completely from it. The subjects on the spells range from Elemental spells, to bloodspells, and finally dark magic/Voidmagic. The book is enchanted so that no one besides Silver can open it unless he has added them to the spell.
(this spell book will be updated over time so new spells with be added)
Elemental Spells
Ice spells
Due to his snow elf heritage Silver has a natural ability to use ice and water spells. He can use them in a variety of ways for offensive spells, defensive spells along with healing.
Icebolts- the name is pretty self explanatory, Silver can create bolts of ice from the water in the air and from the ground before hurling them at his enemies. but it will still hurt beyond that range if it hits. He can also summon multiple bolts at a time and use them.
Iceblade- Silver can create a rather sharp sword made out of ice to defend himself but it is brittle and prone to melting so Silver uses the spell in combination with one of his swords that is enchanted to amplify the spell and allow Silver to throw the blades with the help of his sword. This attack incredibly weak against fire on its own but when paired his sword Silver can keep the ice going as long as he has the energy to do so.
Ice Storm- This is a combination of the ice bolt and the iceblades, The spell is typically used in the air to be the most effective but I can be done from the ground. This spell allows Silver to summon a barrage of ice blades that he will hurl at his opponents. The amount of blades vary but Silver has been known to use over 12 dozen depending on the opponent
Permafrost Coffin- This spell is used when Silver wants to trap someone and keep the contained so he can either transport them somewhere or use it buy himself time to get away. It can be melted with fire but it will take a moment depending on how hot the fire is. The spell will melt on its own and if someone is still trapped inside it will give Silver time to get away. Once he is far enough away the spell will immediately end
Ice Maiden- This is a much deadlier version of the permafrost coffin, When this trap is laid it springs fast enough that it is incredibly difficult to avoid. Whoever gets caught in the trap will meet one of two deaths. Silver could have the trap spring while filled with large spikes of ice. The spikes would pierce them just like an iron maiden except instead of torture it is an immediate death. The other option is Silver leave them to suffocate and freeze inside the coffin.
Queens barrier- This is a barrier spell taught to Silver by the Shield maidens defending the queen of the snow elves. The barrier can withstand a great to of damage and even high temperature fires. The spell was designed to stop a raging dragon but it can be used effectively against anything. It can be turned into a giant wall to replace the gates of a city or it can be used as a dome to defend someone from all sides long enough to counter attack. Silver does not use this spell often but when he does it is used to defend large amounts of people.
Frost Shield- This is a shield Silver can summon in front of himself creating a thick clear sheet of ice between himself and his opponent. Silver can keep the shield up as long as he has the energy. The shield does not cover Silver all the way around and to defend with it Silver has to physically move the shield making him slower. Silver tends to use it at the last moment before letting the shield drop immediately eliminating the need for him to carry it. Silver can have the shield raised and dropped in the blink of an eye making it hard to tell when he uses it.
Water Spells
Liquid Scythe- This spell when used allows Silver to make scythe blade like arcs of water that can cut through a tree with ease making it dangerous to anything living. The spell can easily be avoided and is only deadly to about 30 feet and after that it is more like getting hit with a strong wave taking someone off their feet if they are not ready.
Water barrier- Silver can summon a barrier of water to defend himself but it does not work as well as the ice shields. Silver tends to use it as a large wave to put out fires or take his opponents off their feet.
Liquid healing- Silver can infuse water with mana to aid in healing minor injuries or sealing a wound to stop the bleeding. Silver can keep the spell going on others for about 10 minutes but he can use it on himself indefinitely.
Water Prison- This is similar to the permafrost coffin but it is made of water. It can be defeated with fire spells but it has to be done quickly because the one trapped inside of the prison will drown if they cannot get out.
Water Whip- With this spell Silver can create a whip out of water that can cut through wood and some stones so if used against a person it will cause some damage. If they are wearing anything metal protecting them it wont hurt and all that will happen is they get wet from the whip breaking.
Storm- If Silver focuses his energy he can create a localized rain storm that does not hurt anyone but it can hinder fire spells, beyond that it just makes people miserable and less likely to fight.
Fire Spells
Silver does know a couple fire spells but it is hard for him to learn due to it being the opposite of water which he is naturally gifted in.
Hell fire arena- This is a spell that allows Silver to create a dome of fire around himself and his opponent, inside of the arena is unbearably hot and if Silver wants he can make it close around his opponent and burn them alive. One can get out if they manage to make it through the barrier but they would not make it out unscathed.
Fire Ball- This is a basic fire spell that allows Silver to throw fireballs of varying size towards his opponent. They are easy to to dodge and depending on the size can make the casting of it longer. Silver can grow the fireball to five feet in diameter . He can also make a fireball the size of a baseball which flies faster than the larger one . He can also make them explode if he misses an enemy. It wont kill the enemy but it will severely burn them
Fire Whip- This is the same a the water whip but it is made of fire, it can heat up metal enough to burn whoever wears it and it can easily set things on fire. The most damage it will do is second degree burns as well as singe any hair the person may have. Silver has been known to use the whip to wrap it around someones throat to literally burn their head of their shoulders.
Inferno Barrier- Silver does know a few shield and barrier spells but this one is different, it is a barrier and it can stop attacks but Silver mainly uses it as a moving wall to force his opponents into bad spots for them or places he wants to be.
Negate Fire- Silver has the ability to stop and de-spell any fire spell sent at him but he can only do it a half dozen times before he no longer can. This will also make him much more easily wounded by fire since he can no longer negate its effects. Resulting in severe burns for Silver if he tried to negate it again.
Hellius- This is Silver sword that is enchanted with fire magic allowing his greater control over his spells. He can also light the blade on fire and send arcs of fire towards his opponents .
Air Spells
Silver knows 3 spells that he can use to control the air around him.
Slow descent- Silver can use this spell to slow himself down as he falls from extreme heights, this is difficult to do and will drain a good deal of energy from Silver making his reaction times slower and it will slow how fast he can cast spells.
Vacuum- This spell allows Silver to suck the air out of peoples lungs if he is able to get a hold of them. It is difficult to use and requires Silver to be in contact with his opponent. It also takes time to suck out the air from someones lungs giving them a chance to break free of Silver and end the spell
Levitate- Silver can use this spell to hover over pits and other obstacles but it takes immense amounts of energy to use and it only lifts him at most 5 feet on the ground. Once its done Silver is almost useless until he manages to gather the energy to move. The more he uses it the longer it takes to recover.
Electrical spells
Normal lightning- Silver can create balls and bolts of lightning that he can send at his opponents. Due to his skill with the ability he can control how strong the lightning is, this mean he can use it to give people a scare all the way to killing them outright. This ability can be avoided and redirected making it easy to not die.
Black lightning- This is the advanced version of the normal lightning spell
and it is far deadlier than the normal version. Even with all his training and skill with electrical attacks Silver cannot dial this one back to not kill someone. This spell has one purpose and that is to kill anyone it is sent against this spell is strong enough to vaporize anything it touches. It might be faster than the normal lightning but I can be avoided and redirected but to be redirected it will take take more to do so.
Lightning Absorption- Due to his skill with lightning Silver can take up to 5 direct blasts from naturally occurring and magical lightning. When it hits him Silver can turn the electrical energy into mana giving him a boost to his abilities. This not only replenishes mana he has already used but I can allow him to move faster for up to a minute.
Lightning Storm- This spell can be done with both normal and black lightning, Silver can only use this spell maybe half a dozen times depending on how much energy he has used. When used a fifteen foot area around Silver he can cause lightning to strike multiple times and from many different places like it was raining. This spell can be avoided but if your caught inside it will be painful. Normal lightning wont kill but black lightning will
This next part of the spell book will include all of Silvers dark magic spell and all the Void Magic spell he can do. The majority of these spells will require ooc permission with the exception of a few spells that don't mean death for Silvers opponents.
Holy Magic
Silver can only use a handful of holy magics due to the fact they do damage to him when he uses them
Holy Flash- This spell is typically used by Silver when he is facing opponents that have an aversion to Holy magic, it is a ball of light he gathers in his hand and he can either throw it like a grenade making explode when he wants it to or he can detonate it in his hand either way causing damage to himself. He also tends to use the bright flash of light the spells creates to blind his opponents and use that time to get into a better position to fight.
Holy weapons- This is a spell that is a variation of his holy flash and it allows him to create melee weapons to use in a fight. This ranges from swords all the way to a spear, even though the weapons do damage to Silver as well he still uses them against any opponent that is weak against holy magic.
Twelve kings healing- This is a healing spell Silver can use that will heal a range of wounds and sometimes even fatal ones if he can get to the person in time. It takes a lot out of Silver to use but it is effective on most beings and creatures unless they have a darker nature.
Dark Magic spells
Dark Magic Nullification- This is done by Silver using a technique he learned during his time with the elves hunting black mages and dark lords. It is not an active ability it requires Silver to sense or see the spell coming for it to work properly. If he does not notice the spell he wont be able to nullify it so it does not hurt him or others.
Demonic Dragon- this spell allows Silver to summon a dark dragon from the depths of the abyss. It is a large dragon and can easily overpower even Silver himself if he was not in control of it. The Dragon can vary is size from the size of a dog to as large as house. It does not like to fly but because of that its scales are much harder than a normal dragons. It will attack with its wings and claws but it likes to bathe its enemies in acid ending the fight as fast as possible. It is possible to avoid the acid and get away from the dragon but it is incredibly difficult.
Void spells
Living weapon- Silver uses his own blood and parts of himself to summon hellish spirits that manifest as melee weapons allowing Silver great versatility to what he can do. The weapons can be whatever he wants and they can act independently of Silvers thoughts making the weapons created with the spell incredibly dangerous.
Faux healing- This spells allows Silver to harden the mist that he uses around any wounds or broken bones. It will seal wounds to slow bleeding and it will harden around his bones holding them together. he might have during a fight. This is similar to his liquid healing spell but he can only use it on himself and it can be used indefinitely as long as Silver has the energy to hold the spell. It can be overwhelmed but that requires draining Silvers energy or giving him to many wounds to take care of.
Soul Banish- Silver can use this spell to banish someones soul to a realm only he can get into locking his enemies away for an eternity. A side of effect of this spell is it will cause the body that once held the banished soul to turn to dust and disappear.
Shape Shifting- Since Silver was bonded to a creature from the void he has gained the ability to take the form of that animal. The form being that of a wolf, When Silver is in this form he has greater eyesight and a sense of smell. He loses the ability to use the vast majority of his spells but what he lacks in magic in this form he gains in physical power. The form he takes is slightly different from a wolfs, His from canines are longer and sharper than a normal wolfs the length and shape closer to a saber tooth tiger than a wolf. His skin is tougher and the strength he gains allows him to run great distances at 60 miles and hour and his overall size is close to a Clydesdale horse.
Mist spikes- Silver can use the mist his often summons to create spikes that he tries to either impale his enemies on or just wound them. The spikes can be avoided rather easily by dodging or just getting out of Silvers mist.
Dark being summoning- This spell allows Silver to call forth dangerous entities from the void to aid him in a fight. He has no limits to what he can summon but he tends to summon large snakes and wolves.
This part of Silvers spell book that pertains to void magic will be referring to the spells his family created. Unlike Silvers other spells that he does not have to use incantations or hand signs for him to use the spells.
Drafaylum Void Art 1-Rods of pain- this spell allows its caster to summon and hurl large black rods about an inch around and 4 feet long towards their opponent. If the rod does not hit the target nothing happens but it will just be another weapon on the field for the caster to use. The effects of the rod happen when it enters someones body, the rods cause excruciating amounts of pain to the point most are unable to think and they will feel fatigued. The rods can easily be removed normally but if one was to enter the body and then another object like it a tree it will hold them in place becoming difficult to remove. The rods can be broken with effort and once broken any effects the spell had are gone.
Drafaylum Void Art 2- Chains of Binding- When used chains will appear out of nowhere all aimed to bind the target and hold them down. The chains will slowly pull out the targets energy until they cannot move or dont want to move allowing the caster to either kill or apprehend the target. The chains can be avoided and when grabbed there is a chance to escape, the chains take a moment to completely clench down on the target leaving an opening to wiggle free. The chains can be stopped with barrier and slowed if obstacles are placed in the way.
Drafaylum Void Art 3-Razor chains of binding- This spell is the same as the normal chains of binding the only major difference with the version of the spell is the chains are sharpened to a razors edge to cut into their target. This spell can be avoided but once the target is caught there is no escape. The chains will tighten down slicing into anything unfortunate enough to get caught. Once caught the caster can let the target bleed out from their wounds of even tear them to shreds with the chains.
Drafaylum Void Art 4- Dark Double- This spell allows a caster to create a near exact replica of themselves, it has very limited fighting skills but can take a bit of a beating before they disappear. The spell is mainly used to create a distraction it can even get away from a fight to gain the upper hand in a fight.
Drafaylum Void art 4- Vosk- This spell is an impact spell that when used it can increase the amount of force his attacks have whether it is with his hands of with weapons.
Corruption Magic
This form of magic is only able to be performed by Silver due to the fact it uses the liquid his illness creates to do the spells. The reason he wont use these very often is that his illness has to be acting up to use and he wont be able to fight for as long or as hard as he would have been before it acted up.
Black Phoenix- this spell requires Silver to use a phoenix feather to complete but when he uses it the spell creates a massive phoenix made purely of fire that will burn whoever it touches but it can also turn into a burning sludge that once it lands on a opponent can melt them completely.
Explosive Mana Reaction- This spell allows Silver to use the black liquid his coughs up from his illness in an offensive manner. When Silver spits it onto his opponent he can then add normal mana to it causing an explosion that is strong enough to take people off their feet and in some situations allow him to blow up rocks. He does not use this spell often because his illness has to be acting up for him to do so.
Black Fire Blades- When Silver spits the liquid from his illness onto his sword that is enchanted with fire it allows to him to change the flames properties greatly from where they were before. When he uses this spell Silver changes the flames on his sword from their normal red color to a dark black. The properties of the black flames are it is so hot that if Silver is not careful it will melt his sword without meaning to. It can burn trees with a single slash and if Silver lets it the flames will completely devour his opponent reducing them to ash in minutes.
​
Items of note-
Silver is always carrying his enchanted swords but besides that he carries a bag hidden under his cloak that holds everything he ever needs in it. What makes its storage so large besides being a bag of holding is that its connected to Silver castle allowing him to pull out almost anything from the castle and use it in a fight or when in a tight spot. He also has several knives on him as well when he is ready for a fight but normally he just keeps a boot knife and a belt knife. Occasionally Silver can be seen walking with a metal staff capped with a black and red gem. The staff in engraved with a variety of runes allowing Silver to focus his power and amplify it if he needed to.
