ABILITIES
Aurum
Eilian could create time loops lasting up to a solid 24 hours. People will experience the same day over and over again. They are able to change their own actions only and other peopleâs reactions will change as a result. The uses were limited but could be used to re-examine a situation, to figure out different solutions to a problem, or simple to mentally torture people. A loop of twenty four hours would require him to sleep almost immediately for between four and six hours.
Earth
The limit on his time loop is now approximately two hours. It drains him a little more than it would on Aurum, but thankfully he is still functional and simply requires a coffee and possibly a power nap afterwards. Itâs more disorientating to the target due to the limited time, but also more disorientating than it would be on Aurum. On the one or two occasions he has used it, thereâs been more of an adverse effect on the target after an extended amount of time including nosebleeds and migraines.
Time Theft;
Aurum
This ability was the one that scared Eilian the most. He could steal years from a person's life. He doesn't know if they extend his own life or simply strengthen him. The first time he did it, it was enough to kill the man. It terrified him, but the second time he succeeded in stopping before it went too far. Before he left, he was able to control the exact amount of time he would steal from someone. After the theft, he's physically stronger and faster than he was before. It lasts for a few hours and gradually fades, leaving him with a bit of a hangover, leaving him tempted to steal even more.
Earth
The most he's ever stolen has been a year, possibly two from a person, and the surge in strength left him terrified. He hasn't used it since, afraid of the possible impact and addictive tendency it could have. He doesn't understand why stealing time from humans is much more potent than stealing from people on Aurum, but it frightens him.
APPEARANCE
Eilian is, in a word, gorgeous. With a strong jawline, dark, sultry eyes, and full lips, he gives off a bad boy look without even really trying. At 6'0", he's tall, his frame holding a surprising amount of muscle. He always wore his hair short on Aurum, but since coming to Earth, he's started to let it grow out. It reached his shoulders at his longest, but he's since cut it so it's shorter on the side and longer on top. His style falls strictly on the darker end of the scale, with greys, dark greens, dark blues, and of course, black. He's gotten a number of tattoos and has his left ear and his nose pierced. He usually wears a ring in his nose and a number of rings on his fingers, except for when he's performing. When he's performing, his style gets a little more dramatic, and he's no stranger to makeup either. Black and silver are his stage colours. He usually has his nails painted black, and they're seldom chipped.
PERSONALITY
Perhaps the defining trait of the Time district is that of their level-headed nature. Their heart never rules their head, and their emotions never rule their decisions. And perhaps thatâs why Eilian never seemed to quite fit. No matter how much he tries, his emotions always seem to win out. Heâs passionate and turbulent, his emotions shifting like the weather. He can switch from fury to joy to sorrow with the drop of a hat. Growing up in the Time district, he had to learn how to fake a level-headed nature, but he hates it. It feels wrong, it feels as if heâs wearing a skin that isnât his. His heart rules his head, his gut, every single part of him. When he was on Aurum, his powers set him apart and made others view him with fear. If he wanted to be accepted, he couldnât let that show.
But now, Eilian can express exactly who he is. He can be angry and sad and whatever the hell he really wants to feel. He doesnât have to hide it. Instead itâs put down as an artistâs temperament. And, ironically, this has made him more emotionally stable. Bring able to express himself has made him happier and a lot less angry. Heâs just as passionate and turbulent. Having a way of expressing himself has made him more willing to explore new things. Heâs generous with his time and his money. Heâs a loving friend, a loving partner, and somebody who radiates energy into every room he enters. He puts others above himself without a second thought. Heâd happily give up all of his abilities to get to stay doing what he loves. Music is his life and his soul, and he adores performing. Heâs a natural showman, enchanting the crowds with a sarcastic comment and a grin between songs.
Heâs much happier and more stable now. But heâs still liable to snap with the slightest provocation or to turn on somebody just for the slightest mistake. Heâs proud and has a tendency to see the worst in people. He just wants to defend himself and to stop himself from getting hurt, which is perhaps understandable. But he goes too far and is too proud to apologize when he does hurt someone. He really has to mess up and seriously hurt someone before heâll apologize.
HISTORY
Eilianâs family was never particularly happy with their social standing. It wasnât that they struggled for the necessities. It was rather that power was almost within their reach, but just a little too far away. They were always in consideration for the council, but never quite made it. Everything they did, they did with that intent. Earn the trust of the people and get that place on the council. That wasnât to say they didnât love Eilian. He was their pride and joy, their heart and soul. They hoped that maybe he would one day be granted the honor of a place on the Council.
But growing up, Eilian was always a little... different. He never seemed to be able to maintain that level-headed manner of his people, always getting the giggles or letting his anger rule his decisions. His parents found this endearing. Others found it alarming. Given Eilianâs social standing, he would have been expected to take up a role as a political advisor. But if this child could not control his emotions, what kind of advisor would he make? The destructive nature of his abilities marked Eilian as different. After he accidentally killed an old man by stealing too much time, some started to consider him a threat. So when the war came, his parents sent him away as much for his own safety as anything else.
On Earth, he was scared and confused. And then he heard a violin being played on the streets. He managed to get his hands on one himself and trapped himself in multiple loops, watching the musician again and again until he grasped how the instrument worked. He spent hours and hours teaching himself to play, working bad jobs and sleeping on filthy couches to get himself by. He didnât mind. He had music, this thing which suddenly brought him so much joy. A friend of his posted a video of Eilian playing online. His good looks and skills got him noticed by a band. They described themselves as âelectrorchestralâ, a style which intrigued Eilian. He auditioned and became a part of the band. It wasnât an immediate ticket out of the bad jobs and worse apartments; but a producer noticed them and managed to get them featured on the track of an up-and-coming popstar. They werenât immediate superstars, but their album sold enough copies for them to leave their jobs and start touring full time. And for the first time, Eilian found himself being truly happy.
