Full Name : Aciel Direwinter
Other name: None.
Race: Half-Elf
Side: Empire
Birthplace: Somewhere within Surda.
Age : 181. This translates to about 21 human years.
Gender : Male
Birthday : 22/5
Eyes : Pink.
Hair : White.
Weight : About 100-110 pounds
Height : About 6 foot.
Magic User : No.
Physical Description :
Aciel is an albino. He has snow-white hair, and pink eyes. His skin lacks colouration, and is a pale white, although it is a little darker than the colour of his hair. His hair is of medium length, and curves downward in scything patterns. Aciel looks quite sickly, and often is, as he lacks many of the genes that ward of illness, despite his elven parent. Aciel has thin lips, and rarely talks. He seems quiet, and withdrawn. He is quite lithe, and like some elves, seems like he may snap like a twig.
Aciel dresses only in white. This gives him a distinct appearance, and it seems to lend him a ghostly visage. He is loathe to wear tight fitting clothing, as it restrains movement. Aciel most commonly dresses in a thin, long overcoat, lined in fur. This is mainly to keep him warm, but he refuses to wear a thick coat, because of the restraining of movement. Beneath this, he wears a cloth shirt, and a pair of trousers. He wears long boots, and the sheath to his blade hangs on the left of his belt.
Aciel has lightly corded muscles, which belie his true speed and strength. Aciel inherited much of his physical features from his elven farther, and has almost peerless natural reaction times, just below that of an elf. With extended training, he is now able to surpass even elven sword masters in terms of reaction times, skill and technique. His let down is his total inability to use magic. He requires a mage or some kind of artefact to keep him safe from enemy spell casters.
Preferred Weapon(s)
Aciel wields a odd blade. Its name is svent, which means something in some long forgotten language. Aciel purchased it from an odd trader when he was just a boy, and had less than 30 winters under his belt. It is of strange design. It seems to be of elven forge, but it is a strange metal. It is much like steel, but is colder to the touch, and the edge is far sharper. The edge does not keep as long as that as other metals, and Aciel frequently has to sharpen it.
The blade itself is shaped much like a longsword. However, it is thinner, and it has a slight curve, so that if Aciel were to hold it before him, with the edge point the foe, the blade would curve back slightly towards him, as would the handle. The curve is not significant, but the blade is harder to parry when slashing, yet it makes a thrust extremely difficult to perform. Aciel prefers the shape of this blade to any other, however, just for how well it disrupts the techniques of those who fight against straight blades.
Personality :
Aciel, for the most part, is quite withdrawn. He is not a fan of interacting with others outside bladed combat. Aciel has a somewhat icy demeanour, and rarely helps others. Aciel lacks barely any charisma, and when talking, gets straight to the point. Aciel is fairly loyal to Galbatorix, but he does not trust the Ra’zac or the Urgul. Aciel rarely shows emotion, hatred being the most frequent. Aciel cares little for mortal pleasures, such as wealth or love, because he doubts he will be in this world for too long.
Aciel is a defeatist. This is part of what makes him such a dangerous combatant. He cares little for his own safety, as it is likely that some sickness will take him and kill him. Aciel is by no means reckless, but he acts with a planned haste. Aciel cares little for the health of others, and uses most as living shields, or fodder to blunt the blades of the foe. Aciel only respects those who are equal or superior in combat to him. This so far includes only Galbatorix, who is superior in combat to him. Aciel seeks to improve his technique, to the degree that he is capable to defeat Galbatorix. Not so he can take the throne. Galbatorix is a far better ruler than Aciel could ever be. Just so that Aciel is the stronger combatant.
Likes: Armed combat, Silence, Swords
Dislikes: People, Cowards, Foes of the Empire
Family :
Mother: Human: Alice Verdeor (Dead)
Farther: Elf: Sethis Direwinter (Presumed Dead)
Siblings: None
Brief History :
Aciel was born to a human maiden. His farther, a vindictive elf named Sethis Direwinter, had no real feelings for the human, and took his bastard son once he was born. Returning to his place of home within the Du Weldenvarden. Aciel’s time here was brief, because his farther angered a group of elves, and the disagreement resulted in his death. Aciel, not a pureblooded elf, was removed from the Du Weldenvarden. Strangely smart for a child, Aciel raised himself, and using the last of his father’s money, purchased himself a blade.
Taking the blade, he demanded tutelage from a human weapon master. Aciel trained with the man until he died, which was irrationally short to Aciel. Aciel then took tutelage again, this time from an outcast elf. Again, the tutor died, but this time from Aciel’s blade, when he had nothing left to teach. Aciel left the land for now, not wanting to be under the shadow of the empire yet. Aciel went to foreign lands, and some time later, returned.
Going straight to the emperor, Aciel swore his allegiance after being defeated in combat. Aciel has been searching for a worthy foe, and the numerous Varden, and their beloved dragon riders might be something Aciel can learn something against. Aciel has also noticed he has been growing sicker, and many illness have taken him with an increased severity. Aciel doubts has more than a decade left, so he is acting with renewed, and frightening, fever.
