Username: elementvox
Character name: Zane Melthanos
Race: Human (sort of...)
Age: 21
Gender: male
Appearance: He is short (about 5-ish foot). He has blue hair, He wears a very long hooded tan robe (like a mage's robe), the robe is split in the back, he always wears this robe open. Under the robe, he wears light green baggy pants, brown boots, and a very large brown shirt that has a stiff pointed collar... He carries a large wooden staff with symbols and markings on it, at it's top, there is a large crystal, which always slightly glows.... He also carries a very large brown messenger, in which he keeps many random things... on his wrist, he wears a small silver bracelet... his most discerning feature is that he has a very large orange fox tail which protrudes from the slit in the back of the robe... and very large fox ears (which is y he hardly ever pulls his hood up.. or wears a hat... unless it is raining or something...)
Weapons: just the staff i mentioned above...
Special Abilities: he can use many types of magic... some magic he casts from memory... more complicated spells he may have to look up in the book he carries with him... (it's in the bag... btw...) sometimes he may just simplify a spell to just one word or 2 from the incantation.. or if it is a really basic spell, he may not say anything at all... even though he can use most every type of magic... he is most proficient with fire spells... and thus, rarely uses any other type of magic... he can also go into a Final Form, which increases his abilities many times over, the downfall is that he becomes more animal...
Bio: Zane was a strange child, born with a fox tail and fox ears, he was the youngest in his family... though this kind of thing would have normally been a very strange occurrence.... Zane was born into a family of mages... so just about everything in his family was strange... Zane never considered himself different than any of his brothers and sisters... that is, until his first day of school.... where he was ridiculed for being different... his parents had feared this would happen... so that day, they had to break the truth to him...
turns out, the Melthanos family has a curse on it... Zane's great-great-great-grandfather had experimented in a forbidden art of magic in which he had been tampering with animal souls... trying to fuse them with human souls... he had no goal... he was driven by curiosity.... he kept his experiments a secret from everyone... his friends, his family, even his wife and children, he kept it a complete secret.... then one day there was an accident, and his wife died.... driven by madness and pure anger... he lost his mind... he did not cry over his loss... he did not mourn.... but something in him changed that day... about a week or so afterward... he took up his experiments again, this time... experimenting on his own children... eventually the experiments made physical changes to these children... and they were soon discovered... the officials soon became involved and arrested him... his sentence was death.... but the experiments he had done could not be undone... those 2 children were changed all the way down to their core.... and it would even travel from generation to generation.... each child has an animal inside them... fused to their soul... during times of anger or desperation, the animal within them may be released, changing their appearance... and making them incredibly powerful, but at the cost of losing their sanity.... after some time... the changes reverse, returning them to their original form...
from then on Zane lived his life afraid that others would look down on him... or that he would turn into a monster.... but eventually they got used to his differences... and accepted him... he never turned into a monster... to himself, he vowed that he would find a cure for this... so that his children would not be effected by the mistakes of his ancestors.... and he knew what that meant... digging deep into a forbidden magic...
one day, Zane had been cleaning the attic... when he stumbled upon a book... there was no title... and all the pages were blank... except for a single phrase scratched into the first page... it read "Kath Melthanos" the name of his great-great-great-grandfather.... he kept this book a secret...
through all his childhood, Zane has not once lost his sanity... so far, he has lived a happy life... free from pain... but that may soon change....
once he graduated, he decided to go to the city of Ry to explore the vast library there for more answers...

Ok here's a section from the RP in which Zane reveals his final form... there are many details here, I figured I would just leave them all in so you all can understand what this form means...Vox Zane reached into his bag and pulled out his staff...
"here, watch" he said as he held the staff out in front of him and began to mumble words from a dead language... his ears and tail began to glow a bright yellow-ish color almost immediately... the wind nearby shifted as a small ball of fire appeared at the top of his staff... almost instantly, the ball became much larger and engulfed Zane... it did not burn any of his clothing... this was a special kind of fire... a magical kind... Zane was in complete control of the fire and knew what he was doing.... slowly the fire decreased in size, almost appearing as if it was becoming part of Zane... Zane continued to mumble words.... then a gust of wind radiated from Zane... his hair turned a deep reddish color... the color of fire...
he stopped mumbling and looked back up at Eo... with flame in his eyes.... he almost appeared as if he was someone else... someone much more powerful than the young fox-boy who stood here just a moment ago... a much more serious looking man.... he didn't say anything... he merely nodded and closed his eyes... the color of his hair returned to blue, and the glow across his ears and tail faded..... he opened his eyes and smiled, the flame in his eyes had dissapeared... "that's what i call my 'Final Form' when I'm like that, my magic abilities are much stronger, and I don't have to chant to cast regular spells... but it does have a toll... the longer I am like that, the more the animal inside me is able to take over... which is why you probably noticed that I was more serious.... I may appear that i become another person, but I can assure you, it's all me... just a part of me I don't normally show...."
