"My measurements? Hmm... It would be my pleasure to tell you... all, the, little, details."
Yan is a young man, slim but sturdy, with much charm if you want it, in his own certain way. He stands 6'1 ft, rather tall for a human accordingly, and has a natural hazel hair colour. His eyes though, express a real enigma, purple orbs which seem to eat up all the sparkle on the world, making the observer captivated. He is definitely not musculous, but he doesn't lack it either. Whether or not he is strong, is rather difficult to judge but he owns a flexibility that probably makes up for what he lacks physically. More about him, just ask. He'll be delighted to tell you all the little details, honestly.
Appearance and Equipment
- ✽ His equipment; or to be exact, his mere cloth outside, that leather-like thing, he chose to wear for the grand adventure or whatsoever you like to call this "journey", can not be indentified as something protecting, really. Rather light material out of a cheap shop, well, that does do his work though namely not getting Yan getting too sweaty. His body heat is not like other humans, he is a medium after all, where his inner energy always has to be activated. More, than he like to though, as there is a spirit lingering around him. Additionally to his cheap cloth, there's always the scarf around his neck, endorse his spiritual ability and by chance balancing it. At the time he'll put that scarf around his left arm, his hair changes at once into a crimson colour, expressing the fire that run through his blood which he tries to surpress every single second -- it's a vision into his true ability as a full blood medium. In his state as a mere human, he'll appear with hazel hair and an almost innocent look on his face. Right, don't be fooled, even though there's a naughty smile which seems childish lingers on his visage, his real essence is very well hidden behind the facade he does well conceal. Anyway, there's one thing you have to keep in mind: Even though there's not much thing which protects him, the strong spirit following him does well enough the job protecting him from outside attacks. It's the spirit lingering within the ugly bird he carries around within his hood, a bird capable of changing into a grand phoenix like essence. Works though only once in a couple of time, depends on the mood of the mentioned spirit. Nothing for attack though, that's why let's categorize it as equipment, shall we?
Weaponaries
- ✽ A bow and arrows; His eyes are trained to see even out of a far distance to hit a target efficiently. It is needed to hit the bullseye wherever situation he is in, and through his enormous inner energy, he is able to use it for enchanted vision, even if it's only for mere seconds. He already shot an arrow from many distances and position, in air, mid-air, on the ground, while on something moving, he'd done it everywhere. However, here, the distance is compulsory, which is why he is one of the supporter groups of the mercenaries who doesn't go offensive, but rather on the defensive. It is him they trust their back to which gave him much responsibility, for real, but he does well give them reassurance and make them do their best up front without worrying too much about their back. Now, to the weapon itself that Yan uses is something out of ordinary, probably an ancient bow from the elder elves who were famous for their excellent distant weapons, especially the bow. The leather protecting the bow, as also adhere to the pans Yan is wearing, is one exception out of his whole cheap clothes collection. It let him bend his bow to the maximum and allow it to express it full potential. His arrows though, again, are picked up from battle fields or wherever he found one lying around. Well, obviously, such things are a given and he is also able to make one by himself, so why bothering getting it from a shop and waste his precious, precious money for it? However, that doesn't mean he'll pick up any arrow, it has to be stable enough, of course, or the whole thought of getting out the full capability goes to waste.
Trinkets
- ✽ Bottle; Well, better than randomly buying something, he preferred water from a lake, really. Haha, yeah, probably you already noticed. He is a very money-saving person, until the very small currency, he'll collect them and treasures them all, and won't ever hand it out before it's really needed, in his case it means a situation of life and death. Prior to that, don't even think about getting money out of him. Alright, now further about that in the personality, anyway, about the bottle, it's within his small backpack, and, you may guess, he received it from a dead man, hence, a corpse.
✽ Picture; That's one of a very important things he had bind within the leather of his bow, the very place where he is the most cautious about. Probably it appears to many people, the impression that he's someone hanging on the past, but it's not the case. On the other hand, it's so that he remembers and won't do it again. A hateful essence within the picture is shown, that no one should take a look at without the consent of Yan.
✽ Rusty and bended knive; Well, for what? Emergency reasons, of course. Who would want to carry such a rusty thing? Especially someone like Yan, who is quite a reasonable fellow once you get to know him. Anyway, even though he claimed the mentioned reasons, it's actually the other thing, that he regarded as something like a treasure. The difference from the picture is, that this knive was something out of ordinary, not something you'll hand just like that. With other words, it's a real treasure. Something with value. However, it must have something deeper when Yan isn't trading it for money though.
✽ Chain necklace; He likes this thing somehow, even though it's hell'a heavy. Nothing much to say here, only a mere accessory... Or probably not?
Skills/ Abilities
- ✠ A brilliant Archer; Already stated above.
✠ Console someone... and ocassionally comfort them in many ways than one; Well... it isn't a secret that he loves physical contact somehow. Always, and when it's stated always, it is indeed always, he'll touch the person near him when talking to them. Whether it's a simple pat on the head or just resting his arm on their shoulders... he'll somehow get in contact with their body. Whatsoever he is thinking when doing that, perhaps he seeks a more intimate talk? -- whatever it is, it let others left disgusted, the minority I mean, or for the majority, even happy. Those who were happy were of course, mostly women. He is willing to console them through the night, honestly. It is because of his habit that he is called a pervert, but yeah, a real pervert probably is more agressive than him, while Yan is more the one who likes to tease and letting his 'victim' doing the next step. They let them in for themselves, so I guess, it's pretty fair, isn't it? Nothing he forced them to do or anything. Rather bold is he, true, most of the time though is that but merely a move to get them think of something else. Something else, rather than their worries. And wordy is Yan, very much that is.
Magic
- ✠ Clairvoyance; Clairvoyant mediums can see spirits, auras, objects and places that are not perceptible to others. People who have passed away may appear to them in visions, or they may be able to vividly sense a place to which they have never been. Psychic mediums see these visions with their third eye, located between the two physical eyes. Everyone has a third eye, but the average person's is closed or too weak to use. Through his sensivity though, it might have such a great impact on him that he is only to concentrate on that one single thing and blurr out everything which is in reality surround him, so it's no wonder he is sometimes looking out of place. Staring furiously around him means not that there is an enemy near, but can also mean that he's again one of his visions so don't pay much attention to him. When there's possible dangers, he'll talk.... soon enough.
✠ Clairsentience; Clairsentient mediums experience psychic communication through taste, smell and touch. They may feel the pain or pleasure of either the spirit with whom they are communicating or another person who is in the room. That's the only way he is able to perceive their emotion -- without words, merely experience the same thing they do. Nothing anyone wants to feel, to be honest.
✠ Acquire the ability of the spirit when holding them; Yes, that's the word. Holding them, not being possessed by them. It is a grand distinction between the two. When holding them, Yan has yet to have his mind controlled. He won't turn into the spirits play thing and play as its shell. However, it owns a very high risk to get possessed, true enough.
Weaknesses
- ✠ Possession; Spirits are able to possess Yan at the moment he has eye contact with them or more effectively when holding them. Even though it is something he used to see as an advantage, it may be critical once he is in a group of people he treasures.
✠ Clairsentience; On the other hand of being useful, it is also quite dangerous. Yan is a very sensitive medium and when he feels the emotion of a spirit or a certain someone, it is likely that it'll physically burden him and probably drive him nuts one day if what he feels is something of a great impact.
✠ None existent clairaudience; Even though he is a medium, he isn't able to communicate, or hear when they talk to him. It is an disability that makes him somehow useless perhaps, yet he has that enormous inner energy that in his opinion makes up for his incapability. Well, despite others might think otherwise which he is aware of, he lacked to care for those things though.
✠ In need of the spirit and item; His magic can only take affect with Nessa is present possessing the ugly bird he carries around and the red scarf is linking his arm. It is therefore necessary because through Nessa he is able to be a full medium. The scarf is only there so Nessa's spiritual energy won't manipulate him too. Without it, he'll make use of his ability only for a restricted time frame in addition, it'll most definitely physically and mentally burden him.
- When referring to Yan, there's always one thing you could definitely state: He is similar to a playful big cat. Very childish sometimes, but honestly a flirty pervert the other times. He loves to laugh, without it contenting any bad intent and that's a talent, really. He can laugh so freely in any situation, and anyone can hear out of it that it didn't mean to offend. He is, by nature, a person anyone can get along with and truly is a people's guy. It's like his whole essence scream that he's a good guy without any ulterior intent or something -- which makes him scary. Many people let him in which makes him easily get intimate with people... a very significant trait as it's fundamental for his flirtatious individual he is. Well... not only his special vibe he sends out and his specific charisma that swoon people away, but also the appearance that makes much difference. Truly, in many opinions he is indeed handsome, has a firm and balanced body and doesn't own evident weaknesses. His sharp, but nice eyes wherein its orbs shows an element of innocent drowns many in and swallow them in their whole without anything else. His words, sweet and spontaneous picked, are merely the cherry upon the cake. It is a pretty extra that helps him to be better at referring to someone and getting them to talk, even though it's difficult. Yeah, some sort of a talent he has there, performed by his tongue.
Well, through his attitude which resembles more of that of a drunken man or something, well, carrying a careless impression makes him easily be mistaken as an easy pray. Honestly, he is childish and often careless, acts spontaneously in a bunch of things but he isn't completely insouciant. He does know and is able to differ between when be serious and when it's time for telling others his dry jokes, even though it doesn't seem like it. People tend to not regard him seriously rather too comfortable they are with his presence. It's like they've been directed into that direction of his innocence... and thus fall into his trap. Well he definitely not acts like that due to faking his personality, it's more like it comes naturally to him, but it is indeed effective to get his enemies fooled and faked them a situation of peace. Now don't get it wrong, he is a peace orientated person, it just that through his natural impressions he gives people, he indirectly let them show their weaknesses and has through that prevalence. Nothing there's which is sneaky -- alright, a bit sneaky but only a bit. In the end, it's the fault of them falling for such a trick. And Yan's perceptiveness doesn't make it lots easier.
Yan is difficult to understand in some aspects. There is nothing like a real... yeah "logic" adjustment about him, he is, to be honest, a messy something that isn't definable. Other words, he is a too spontaneous person that can't be easily grasped. Sometimes he is really... weird. One time he can get really inconsistent in what he does, probably one of the view things of his bad traits. He tends to not stick on one single thing only, but on the other hand, gives answers which are ambiguous. It is due to him not wanting to pick a side as he always tries to be neutral at the best times, so no one can blames him. Given that he loathed to be blamed for something he didn't foreseen, it became a habit. That's also why he won't ever promise something he doesn't know yet he can keep. It's like his life slogan: Don't blurt out something you can't prove. However, even though it's definitely positive, it makes him quite the jumpy person without getting too deep in friendship with someone.
As anything goes though, like already mentioned above, his most important trait is his flirtatious but witty being, which is able to console almost anyone. Probably, that his jokes are quite... unfunny supported his witty being that tends to be underestimated. Flirtatious though, due to the physical contact one thing, another thing is what you call strategy which is for Yan on the other hand an instinct: To captivate. His words he blurts out can be complete crap, which was mostly the case, but his intent reaches the person. His cheerful being can heal, heal mentally. All feasible through Yan who indeed thoroughly enjoyed the moment’s people smile. He loves happiness in other people faces, even though he himself is aspiring it too, but hoped for others first. A typical goody two shoes, you could say, but one who really cares. Though, one thing, about him dealing with money... he is a cheapskate. Anything in that topic; beware. He is quite aggressive, and seeing him while negotiate with a salesman, you'll see a real battlefield, really. Poor salesman, you've possible got the worst costumer who exists.
- His parents... were not married for love. Only for the mere contract, an arrangement, with the culprit to be of course, their parents. Both of them hold a very significance for the mediums within the whole world, and be it like that they find it important to have them married and get them produce children born from a couple of pure blood mediums. Yes, it was a marriage for a purpose, and honestly both of them weren't delighted. They were both still young and wild, wanting to discover rather than staying at home and making kids with someone they don't even like. They fought it of course, the decision, but there was nothing they could do. They were chained on the responsibilities as the eldest children from both families, and they couldn't just leave like that. They had yet to lose their respect towards their parents, so they stayed. Stayed, even though urging to go outside, discovering and know the world. It was well, somehow like an assigned duty, which can't be further discussed. It was decided, without their consent. Nothing there is to go against -- and so the day came where they were married with each other, with throwing quite the big, yet formal party. The years went on. They both didn't necessarily love each other, but they got along. Well, it was compulsory because who would want to stay uncomfortable with someone they had to stay with for their rest of their life? They had five kids, all of course produced because of the interest and pressure from above. There was no lust in between them, it was simply a life that both of them loathed. And so, after the sixth kid was born both grew tired, and decided: They should ran away, far, far away from their home. Yes, they did their duties, and there's nothing else they could do right? Their children were all within the machinations of their parents... it's like everything is taken from them. Who would want to continue live on like that? Eventually both parted ways, seeing the world, leaving their children.
Now... Yan is the youngest. It shined out that he was different, even though he was the smallest and youngest and probably the weakest because his lack of clairaudience. His whole essence was a bright, curious and kind hearted child unlike the others, who were getting more of the pressure. No, not because they were older... because their grandparents hoped more out of them than the youngest. It was early decided that Yan couldn't inherit anything, he was incapable, even though the amount of the inner energy was a class for itself. He was unneeded... so he figured one day. And that changed him. No, hell there was not much drama about it. He heard it directly from the mouth of his grandparents. They blurted it out, subjectively without any hints of regrets, telling him off straight, that he was useless for the whole family. Of course, they didn't say it directly, would've been quite the ruthless fellows there, nonetheless one could easily hear it out of that statement. Anyone could, and thus also the only 13 years old Yan who then went away from the house. He knew that no one will ever miss him. Honestly, he merely know the maids rather than his family! Yes, it was the maids he regarded as a family, and not those, who were blood related with him. That event made him regard the world in other colours, and probably create the independent essence he is now.
May be added throughout the roleplay.
