↘ xxxx Kiri Lavellen xxxx ↙ |_________________________________________________| ↣ The Grey Fox ↤ 
"The extraordinary is not in who we are, but what we do."
I have been around for 977 years.
I am an elf and affiliated with Malandaia.
I am on team two as a fighter.
Males suit my fancy more than females do.
I have a few nicknames.
Grey fox - Scarlet shadow
But I would rather you call me Kiri.
Links - to - Main battle theme
↣ A b i l i t i e s ▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰
¯ ¯ ↘ Weaponry
- Dual elven-crafted daggers.
- Combat spikes: They are pointed metal spikes roughly a foot in length designed for puncturing skin and armor. They can be used at close range or thrown like a projectile. For the latter use, he tends to carry about twenty with an extra two exclusively for close-range.
- Wires: Kiri also carries a few spools of highly durable wire for a variety of uses, such as traps, detection webs or as a garrote.
Powers and abilities
- Elven agility and longevity.
- Stealth mastery and mastery of the assassination arts.
- Elemental sigil magic: Unlike most elves, Kiri practices a unique form of magic that lets him create sigils of the six magical elements, fire, water, earth, wind, light and shadow. A single sigil has little power, such as a fire sigil only able to function as a torch alone, but by combining several in different arrangements their power can increase exponentially. Said arrangements require a hand gesture, so if his hands are kept busy he cannot cast them effectively.

¯ ¯ ↘ Kiri is a rarity among elves in that he actively wanted to explore the world and the people that lived in it, driven by a curiosity that continues to this day. That said, he is more worldly for the time and he has some knowledge of other cultures. On a personal level he is rather polite and kind, if a bit distant when discussing himself. He cares for his allies and his friends, but it is heavily recommended you do not threaten them in front of him. His wrath is best described as a tranquil fury that very, very few people have survived.
↣ M y x S t o r y ▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰
¯ ¯ ↘ Kiri's history is largely unknown prior to his wanderings, including who began training him in the skills he currently has. He completed the training on his own during his travels and refined his skills even further, but the source is still a mystery. This is less a matter of him not talking about it and more the fact that it does not seem to come up in conversation or he never gets a chance to answer.
Aside from that, Kiri has a rather... distinct reputation, though it is mostly under his title, The Grey Fox. Early in his travels he discovered a knack for slipping in and out of places unseen and to make coin he posted vague ads for those who would be interested. He was careful to keep his face unseen and would often communicate by written notes when meeting a client. Even so, as an elf he had a natural allure and several clients tried to offer more for a chance to see his face at the very least. He always declined.
He kept up with it until he stopped taking petty clients and worked his way into having more... respectable ones. The items he was asked to retrieve weren't in people's homes, but in ruins or dangerous areas that only someone of his skill had a chance of infiltrating. The rumors of him lingered a bit too long and his race was implied to be one of the more long-lived ones, though no one could figure out which.
This led him to change his services and his title to the Scarlet Shadow and specializing in the... removal of unwanted persons. He kept his more upscale contacts, though the work eventually became too political for his tastes. He changed his services a third time, now exclusively working as a private monster hunter while publicly considered an adventurer of sorts.

¯ ¯ ↘ Kiri's entry to the games was a bit... tricky, to say the least. Both of his titles were heavily sought after, but no one knew who the person was behind them. He entered Malandaia's tournament and quickly won a mysterious series of forfeits followed by a single, overwhelming victory over his final opponent. His skill in stealth made it all too easy to find out who he'd be fighting next, track them down, then scare them into forfeiting the match. There was technically nothing in the rules against it, though he let the last match play out to show he had skill and wasn't just lucky.

↘ xxxx Vemoras xxxx ↙ |_________________________________________________| ↣ The newly freed slave↤ 
"If you think you know pain, I fully intend to prove you wrong."
I have been around for this 100 years, at least. Time gets difficult to track with a blindfold on.
I am a Incubus/Merman and affiliated with Zeladis.
I am on team three as a fighter and support.
I am male.
I am interested in men and women.
Main theme- Close to you, V flower/Ruko duet
↣ A b i l i t i e s ▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰
¯ ¯ ↘ Heightened senses: Due to extensive captivity blindfolded, Vemoras' other senses are heightened far beyond the norm for demons. To such a degree that using his eyes is strange to him, as well as dangerous.
Hypnotic charm: The reason for his blindfold, as his gaze has a natural, uncontrollable charm to it. When his gaze is met the other person feels compelled to listen to his requests, regardless of how strange or dangerous it is. That said, he cannot order someone to kill themselves directly or kill someone else unless he can maintain eye contact.
Minor levitation: Vemoras is... an odd case from a racial perspective, as a result his tail can switch to legs at will. On land, if he is using his tail he can levitate just enough to move as though in water, though no higher than a few feet off the ground. When his legs are in use, however, he cannot levitate.
Energy drain: One of his direct traits as an incubus, Vemoras can siphon on the physical energy of others, letting him regain energy and heal wounds. Physical contact is the most efficient, but close proximity of multiple people can also work. He does not drain the life-force, just a person's physical energy, resulting in fatigue in proportion to how much he drains.
Demonic longevity: As a demon he naturally has an extremely long life span. This also comes with the typical weaknesses of demons, few as they are, but still critical.
Possible Minor telekinesis: Vemoras occasionally seems to display the ability to move things with his mind, namely the chains he is always adorned with.
Weaponry
Enchanted Chains: The chains he is constantly adorned with, while no longer binding him, they cannot be removed from his person. The chains are enchanted to be bound to him and not break so long as he has them.
Finger-claws: Small, metal claws that slip over his fingers, allowing him to grip and slash with them.
↣ P e r s o n a l i t y ▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰
¯ ¯ ↘ Vemoras can charm people easily, in spite of his blindfold, but is rather slow to trust, for good reason. He can be a bit old-fashioned and has a tendency to draw people in, whether he wants to or not. He can also be rather timid around authority figures or anyone he senses has an authoritative air.
↣ M y x S t o r y ▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰
¯ ¯ ↘ Vemoras' past is dark and painful, but not by his own choice. His family line has long since been part of a slave-like caste among demons, but Vemoras was a rare case as he was considered beautiful enough to serve one of the more prominent noble castes. His master quickly realized the dangers of his gaze and the blindfold became a distinct part of Vemoras' very being. He was subjected to a vast and terrifying array of punishments and torture, only to have his health restored and starting again to sate his sadistic master. The blindfold blurred Vemoras' sense of time, measuring it based on when he wasn't being hurt and when he was, but the time seemed to go for a long time.
The greatest change in his routine came when his master brought in a mermaid to grant him the kiss of breath, changing him into a merman-demon. The punishment... changed after this, though it was hard to say how since he was blindfolded. It became more... reverent, almost worship-like, his new form stoking a previously unexplored desire in his master. Eventually, an auction was held, Vemoras' state was a rarity and his master wanted to cash in on it. The ultimate winner of the auction was none other than the leader of Zeladis. In a bizarre stroke of kindness, after winning the auction Vemoras was released from his status as a slave.

¯ ¯ ↘ Vemoras' very rare nature was precisely why he was released from his slavery and placed into the games. Granted, his participation was a condition for his freedom, one he accepted wholeheartedly. There was also the fact that knowing pain as he does makes him eerily effective as a fighter. His hypnotic charm is also useful for crowd control and interrogation.

<-> Vemoras <->
The voice that once reached out now quietly smiles...
I denied it all and shut my eyes...
Melt the world away and turn it into a lie...
Blah blah blah.
... Resisting the overflowing tears and looking up at the sky
... I continue to hope forever, searching for you
... Only the finite things shine within my eyes
