The Banshee

While the early life of this man remains in large part a mystery, from the limited encounters that people have been able to report he is anything but the average man he so cleverly portrays himself as. One report in particular denotes his behavior as "Condescending, arrogant, demeaning, almost as if he had a god complex of sorts." And while his ego is of note, the main attributes people remember from this individual is his strange and magical abilities, most notably his use of a strange sort of life force manipulation.

This often if not always appears as a thick set and crimson fog exuding from the being in question, and while at first harmless should he choose, the fog can actually act as a leech for it's host, sucking dry the life force of surrounding plants, animals, and even people. The effect, as described by those few lucky enough to survive this technique, is similar to having all the energy drained out of you rapidly. This of course only leaves anyone affected by this ability only a few split seconds to act before their body would inevitably lack the ability to move, thus sealing their fate to the fog, and aside from it's draining abilities, it has been noted that should the caster choose to, he can actually imbue life into both the living and dead. This ability also in rarer cases has been seen to actually repair damage and even modify the organism should the man wish to, all be it the end result always bears some resemblance to the original creature, the mutations themselves can be quite dramatic.

Of the magical abilities we know that this individual posses, his most immediately noticeable is the manipulation of tendrils, protruding from his back. These can appear at will for their caster and each one seems to have a mind of it's own, essential making him a five man squad all by himself. The most noticeable feature of these tendrils is their ability to harden and change their density, going from fleshy constructs to razor sharp spears in the blink of an eye.They are flexible, quicker than even the most skilled eye can track and each seem to function independently, making them his only truly necessary defense.

Of his more lesser known abilities there is the strange use of this chemical alchemy. The process is essentially using his mana to manipulate the molecules and chemical bonds of the world around him. All though usually requiring a closer inspection and knowledge of the inner workings of the material he has been seen performing this act at a longer range.. If he has no knowledge of the material he is essentially unable to manipulate it, however.. If he does know part of the chemical make up of the object in question, it is possible for him to manipulate that, but only that. Leaving the other parts unaffected by his approaches. A good example is if you have a strange steel alloy that isn't completely just steel. If he can guess the blade is at least partially iron, and made with high carbon counts, he can in essence only manipulate those elements.

Other than that though, the only other main power he possess is the ability to summon both Lightning and Air, essentially making him an estranged storm mage, and a rather quick acting blink ability. Which albeit short in range can be charged to allow for greater distances, however this does require more effort and a deep concentration.

Powers aside, the man is most notably strikes the resemblance of a High Elf. His eyes that of a deep emerald green, and his features generally changing from that of a youthful demeanor to that of an older man, dependent on the amount of life force he possesses at any one time. His clothing is most consistent with traveling attire, often either sporting a lovely set of turquoise robes with a fur over coat and a red sash around his waist, or if the climate demands a warmer approach, a large bear fur coat with many layers of both linen and softer clothing for insulation. Albeit his wardrobe does consist of more than these two outfits, they are none the less the one's he's most known for. His hair is a stark snow white, often hanging a tad flat, but it does appear soft and carries with it a bit of a bounce. He is most often if not always sporting a longer pony tail of sorts, and his accent would be one of a northern European dialect, a bit deep, but it carries with it a sense of authority.
