Species: Elf
Height: 6'8"
Weight: 200lbs
Appearence: Rakshanara wore the robes of The Brotherhood of the Watchful Dragon. These robes are made of blue silk, embroidered with silver thread scribing out runes of power and protection into the robes. The effects of these runes will be described later. He wears black leather boots, and on his arms he wears leather gloves that lack fingers, giving him the mobility needed for spellcasting. His hair is long and white as snow, trailing down his back to nearly mid-back. His eyes are a startling blue, and flickers of lightning wave through it at times. Now, his robes are in the softest velvet in a luminescient white with runes enscribed in silver and gold. He has ridden himself of the gloves and now exposes his badly scarred hands and arms to the world. His face is careworn and almost haggard for an elf. His eyes have a knowledge to them and seem to pierce your skin with a glance and seek out your innermost secrets.
Personality: Rakshanara is a mild tempered man. The world must be ridden of all evil, and he is the man to do it. He has an incredible memory (due to his race and age) and shall hold a grudge till the day that he dies. His anger is always a cold rage, and tightly contained. Anyone he befriends is a friend for life, unless they betray him, in which case he hunts them down and slays them for revenge.
Weapons: Rakshanara carries only one weapon, the Shaldanora. It is a staff imbued with the sacred lightning of the elemental lightning realm, carved from a single crystal. It is incredibly tough and may withstand the hardest of blows an shocks. It channels the powers of lightning through it, amplifying Rakshanora's power and granting him access to the elemental lightning realm at will.
Powers: Despite his size, Rakshanara is not much of a physical fighter. He relies much on his incredible ability to summon lightning and use it at will, via magical spells and incantations. Shockwave is a master wizard, and as such has knows the basics of conjuring spells and manipulating his surroundings. He is able to control all elements, but only to a very basic extent. (like a ball of fire, a fist of air, or the ground heaving slightly to tumble a foe) His true power lies in the control of thunder and lightning. May it be to summon a static field around him or to zap you via his eyes, his control of electricity in general is near limitless. Now with his wizardly talents honed, he has advanced his control over the other elements to a higher level, increasing his familiarity with them and his realm of control over them. He has the power of Rune magic, the magic of possibilities, but that is a power that is most often tied in with all of his other incantations. When in need of power for large spells, he can form a Grace. A Grace is a magical tool drawn out of sorcerors sand, it is a inner box with its corners touching an outer circle, which has five rays extending out from it's center. Rakshanara has recently in the battle for Rome awakened his Pscionic abilities. In a battle with a Pscion he had no choice but to discover this power or die. He now has a small untrained amount of control over his powerful mind, but he is constantly trying to gain more control over this ability, and will soon master it enough that he can effectively use it in combat.
Armor: Shockwave has no armor, but instead wears magically enhanced robes. The strength of the magical barrier protecting him lies in the short distance between each of the runes on him. The shorter the distance, the greater the barrier's strength. These runes, however, may be parted simply by striking the barrier, over and over again. Whilst the barrier is up, Rakshanora is protected from most harm, may the attacks be physical or energy based. Unfortuantely the runes may be scattered and the barrier shattered, only if the attacks were of tremendous power.
History: Shockwave was born in the Mountains of Italy, where his clan of Elves hid from the humans. They were very good at not being seen, and lived in relative peace. Until the Thunder Walkers came. These massive titans wielded hammers that caused thunder when they struck, splitting their foes asunder with sonic waves, and wielding bolts of lightning as javelins. All of his tribe dies but him, and he was barely 100 years old, barely a teenager for a elf. So he traveled until he found a master elven wizard, and decided to learn to use lightning to destroy these creatures, and has learned his art well. He destroyed the Thunder Walkers on his 500th birthday. He has now returned to Italy to put his family's souls to rest.
