Character Information:
Character's Name: Tidus Revok

Character Race: ½ Dragonian ½ V'alcan - While Tidus's mother was a native Dragonian, his father was an alien from a world known as Faerdrone - a member of the noble V'alcan race. V'alcans are generally MUCH faster and stronger than humans or Dragonians, and EXTREMELY light due to their unusual skeletal structure - The V'alcan bones are hollow, much like the bones of a bird. They have only a small layer of marrow because the enamel of the bone itself is somewhat flexible, however the V'alcan bone is extremely resilient to breakage. From the V'alcan side, Tidus has received a strength and speed beyond that of a normal Dragonian, as well as an unbelievably strong skeletal structure, and the V'alcan connection between emotion and power is a strong one in Tidus. From the Dragonian side, he's inherited the ability to handle ki and transform into a higher state. The natural healing abilities on both sides of his family tree have combined to create an extremely fast healing ability.

Gender: Male
Hair Color/Style: Black, long in front, but parted to stay out of his eyes. In the back it comes down past his shoulders and hangs loosely.
Eye Color: Blue
Age: 15
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 5 Stone (70 pounds)
Aura Color: Transparent, like heat coming off a hot sidewalk. Depending on which element he's using, the color changes to red, white, yellow, or purple, but retains the transparent quality.
Attire: Loose-fitting black pants, a black vest, grey boots and gloves (he never shows anyone his hands) and a long red hooded overcoat given to him by one of his mentors, Nishaio Shimata. The coat is too long, with the hem falling just above his ankles.
Other Physical Features: Tidus' general appearance is unkempt and a little dirty. He tries to take care of his things, but his lifestyle being uncondusive to such an end, his clothes are dusty and wrinkled and his hair tends to be a mess. He walks with a slight limp and tends to unconciously fiddle with a plain silver lighter. A simple silver ring with a white stone adorns his right index finger, and the stone sometimes appears to give off a faint light. A lightweight metal boomerang, given to him by his father and the last material link to his family, is always tucked into a sheath at the back of his belt.

Class I:
- Hide Power Level

- Teleportation
- Rapid Healing
- Near Death x2 Power

Original Class I:
- Elemental manipulation: Fire. Tidus can control fire.
- Aqui: The ancient Civean art, combined with the unique V'alcan ability known as 'realm-bending' has given Tidus the ability to summon and use the elements in a wide array of offensive and defensive techniques. While he can only control fire, the others are useable on a limited scale. Aqui techniques are powerful by definition, but they take time to use as the energy required is trememndous. The focus of concentration required to use more than one technique at a time is prohibitive to most Civeans, but the V'alcan realm-bending ability makes it a relatively simple task for Tidus. It is important to note, switching between opposite elements is extremely difficult, as the V'alcan nature of realm-bending is inseverably tied to emotions. Tidus has to change his mood completely to go from fire (anger) to light (joy or benevolence). The one exception is darkness - the lingering sadness from his family's annihilation make this energy constantly at his disposal.
- Elemental bombs: Invented by the V'ancanian Imperial Gaurd in Faerdone and refined by Falkan Reval, these bombs are small metal spheres, about the size of ping-pong balls and packed with glifen (an explosive powder with unusual conductive properties), the weapons pack the punch of a small grenade on their own, but this is not their true purpose. The metal and the powder take and transition elemental charges very effectively. A simple burst of energy can add a wide range of elemental effects to the standard explosion. The major factor is the energy type and the amount of charge. Only experienced benders use the bombs, as too little charge makes them ineffective and too much makes them more dangerous to the users than the victims.
- Elemental boomerang: Crafted by Tidus's father from a glifen-zelflor alloy, the boomerang Tidus always carries is extremely lightweight, razor sharp, and holds the conductive properties of the elemtental bombs, although with a less explosive temperament. The boomerang's obvious use as a throwing and cutting weapon is just the beginning. With a simple burst of energy, the weapon can also be used to deliver any element in Tidus's arsenal over a long distance with amazing speed.
- Elemental Staff: A lightweight metal staff given to him by Falkan Reval, this weapon collapses to a rod about a foot long for carrying and extends to a full length of six feet at the flick of a wrist. His primary weapon in melee combat, the staff is made of the same alloy as the boomerang and bombs, allowing Tidus to charge it with elemental energy even in the middle of combat.

Class II:
Aqui Techniques:
- Draining Defense: This technique is purely defensive by intention, but an unwitting enemy can turn it into an offensive move. With no outward sign at all he's enacting it, Tidus creates a field of dark energy around him that hides itself within his aura, giving it an almost imperceptible purple tinge. While the field is active, any person or object that touches him will be drained of energy, so slowly at first as to be unnoticeable, but prolonged contact increases the rate at which power is drained. Contact must be broken for several seconds before the effect declines fully. (In other words, a barrage of fast punches would create the same rate of drain as a long hold.) Since the field takes little energy to maintain, it's rare among Tidus's techniques in that it can be passively in effect while other techniques are being used.

- Leeching Darkness: With a circular motion of the hands, Tidus creates a bubble of darkness around an opponent. The most obvious effect is blindness - The sense of sight is completely useless inside the sphere - but the real effect of the attack is a draining of energy that takes place. Anything caught inside the bubble will be drained of their energy at a rapid level until the technique is released or the victim breaks free.

- Frozen Prison: For this move, Tidus must be on the ground. He crouches and plants one palm flat on the floor while keeping his eyes locked on the target area. After a moment of charge time, the water molecules in the targeted area freeze and condense into a cylinder, stacking upward very quickly and giving the appearance of a pillar that rises out of the ground. The pillar is five to ten feet in radius, and anyone caught within the target area will be insantly frozen and trapped inside. The pillar will continue to expand outward and upward as long as Tidus pours energy into the attack. Multiple pillars can be created in rapid succession, but it's very difficult to do for long.

- Caltrops: Like the Prison technique, Tidus must be on solid ground for this to work. This move requires him to place both palms on the ground. Then small, sharp spikes of ice spread rapidly outward from his position. The spikes can immobilize an enemy if they pierce the skin, which is highly probable for anyone on the ground. The spikes will continue to spread as long as he continues the technique.

- Flashring: With one finger up at eye level, Tidus turns 360 degrees, leaving a thin trail of light energy in a ring around himself. When he snaps the finger he drew the trail with, the rings expands outward at the speed of - well, light - blinding anyone in it's path for several seconds.

- Mirror Images: Tidus creates up to ten copies of himself anywhere within a large radius of himself. They do exactly as he does exactly when he does it...but that's all they do. The copies are only reflections of Tidus and are incapable of giving or taking damage at all, but they are completely indiscernible from him in every way.

- Combustion Grenade: One of his faster, but weaker attacks. Tidus shoots a quick, small ball of fire from his palm at the enemy and detonates it at will, making a good sized explosion. Even getting too close to this attack will cause one to catch fire, even if the actual blast doesn't hit him.

- Greek Fire: This technique is Tidus's most devastating for his enemies and draining for him. Both palms extended, he unleashes a stream of 'liquid' fire (something like napalm), impossible to extinguish with simple water and nearly impossible to escape once caught inside. The stream can be intensified, widened, directed, or otherwise controlled by changing the position of his hands.

Class III:
None yet...

Other Information:
Personality: Tidus's defining characteristic is sadness. Even when he'd fully experiencing other emotions, there is always an undercurrent of despair in his person. Smiles and laughter are accompanied by sad eyes. Rage and anger have as fuel for their fire the depression that disrupts peace. In spite of the best efforts of his friends, Tidus simply has never recovered from the loss of his family. He is obsessed with revenge, leading to random and sometimes violent outbursts at anyone who accidentally or intentionally says or does the wrong thing. He is very reactionary and tends to give to others whatever they have given him - double. To those who treat him kindly, he will show greater kindness. But to those who treat him wrongly...
All that notwithstanding, there are sometimes the remnants of the hapy, gentle-natured boy he once was. He loves being outdoors and generally feels a strong connection to nature because of his abilities. Humble beginnings and four years of intense training have made him content with anything. Tidus neither has nor desires material wealth. Overall, Tidus keeps to himself, but responds drastically when approached by others.

Origins: Tidus grew up in a shack in the middle of nowhere, because his family was extremely poor. In fact, the only people he ever saw as a kid were his parents and his best friend - a girl about his age called Jen. But even Jen lived miles from their home. Though it was simple, life was good for Tidus's first eight years. His mom was affectionate, loving, and caring; his father strong, kind, and his hero as well as his friend. Though he and Jen almost NEVER agreed with each other, they stilled enjoyed each others company immensely. All was well until his eighth birthday. Early in the morning, his father gave him a Boomerang that he had made himself, and told him to go practice. Tidus spent the day playing with his gift and anticipating a visit from Jen for a special birthday dinner that evening. Although they didn't have much, Mr. and Mrs. Revok always managed to make birthdays a magical event for their son.

As Tidus was making his way home something tragic happened. He was within sight of his front door, where his parents stood waiting and calling for him, when in a blinding flash he was flung to the ground and knocked unconciuos. He awoke a day later only to find his home was non-existant. All that was left was an enourmous circle of smoking glass on the ground with an intense heat still coming off of it. His final deduction from what he saw before he was blinded: a giant ball of Ki was hurled onto his home, barely missing him, but destroying everything else that mattered. His family was disintegrated, his home gone...all he had left was his boomerang and painful memories. He spent the next week sitting by the smoldering glass and swinging wildly between boundless rage, soul-crushing despair, and fits of senseless laughter. Finally Jen showed up and talked him back to his senses, insisting that he get up, take control of his life, and find the murderer responsible for his situation. He agreed, and with the slow regaining of control over his emotions, he discovered a unique power to control the elements - but never well enough to fight or do anything all that useful. Whenever he got mad, sad, or otherwise lost control of his feelings, it was total chaos. Tidus spent the next two years living off of nothing, stealing when he needed, and killing if he got too hungry. All the morals he was taught as a kid he turned his back on, until he met his first mentor. A mysterious individual who claimed to be from the same race as his father, Falkan Reval spent three years re-teaching Tidus his parents' morals and values, as well as how to fight using a staff. Along the way, the V'alcan Warrior eplained to Tidus that his strange power was simply a normal V'alcan ability called realm-bending, latent in most of their kind but awakened in a few by intense periods of emotional trauma. Controlling his emotions meant controlling his elemental abilities. With time and training, his control became sharper, at least enough to avoid random bursts of fire, ice, or light, but still not good enough to use in combat - which was Tidus's obsession. Everything revolved around becoming powerful enough to find and confront the one who destroyed his life. Eventually he became a warrior to be reckoned with, but his mentor recognized a greater potential within Tidus. One day - ironically on Tidus's eleventh birthday, Falkan returned from an early morning walk with a staff, book and a heavy sack, which he gave to Tidus with strict instructions to open the book before the sack, and neither until after he had met his next teacher. Then Reval explained that the time had come to return to his own world. He thanked Tidus for helping him remember what he had once been and encouraged the boy to seek a life beyond revenge. Finally, Falkan Reval, one of the great Heroes of Dragonia, summoned his faithful bird to his side and stepped slowly through a portal to fulfill his destiny. For weeks, Tidus waited in Reval's Bedoan mountain hideout with Jen, who returned to his side upon Falkan's departure, and wondered who the teacher he was supposed to wait for would be.

His patience was rewarded with surprise when not one, but two new teachers appeared: A young man of eighteen named Garoten Reklor, and a quiet, red-cloaked warrior named Nishaio Shimata. Nishaio was the master, Garoten the student. The two explained that at the request of their ally and friend, Falkan Reval, they had come to train him in "the Way of the Tenju." For months Tidus was certain the word Tenju translated into 'constant, senseless, mind-bending, body-ripping violence and pain', but the hard work and unimaginable training excercises concocted by Nishaio paid off in forging Tidus into an even more dangerous warrior than Falkan Reval himself. Finally, after two months of 'testing', Nishaio informed his new apprentice that the real training would begin in a week. With a few days to think finally at his disposal, Tidus opened the book and sack left to him by Reval, discovering the metal spheres called elemental bombs along with instructions on their use and how to make more. Fascinated by the devices and Reval's having left them to him, Garoten and Nishaio pressed Tidus until he reluctantly informed them about his elemental abilities. Garoten, being the same half V'alcan, half Dragonian heritage as Tidus, practiced realm-bending with him, but could only scratch the surface of Tidus or Falkan's potential, having never experienced the trauma necessary to unlock the ability's full power. Nishaio, on the other hand, proved to be the key to turning those abilities into a collection of powerful weapons, and Tidus into a new force of nature. He carefully instructed Tidus in the study of his world's elemental art called Aqui. While V'alcan realm-bending was an inherent ability, hard to unlock and impossible to master, Aqui was just the opposite. As an Art, a field of study, Aqui could be learned and mastered by anyone with a lifetime of patience, and Nishaio had spent several lifetimes. Tidus's natural abilities made mastering Aqui almost easy, and on his fifteenth birthday, Nishaio declared that both Tidus and Garoten were worthy of being called Tenju warriors.

As the two students and their master parted ways. Garoten, now twent-two years old, returned to his hometown of Esperanza, having taken upon himself the responsibility to keep watch over Dragonia's extended period of peace. Nishaio had fallen in love with a woman they met in Lavertia and returned to marry her, start a family, and enjoy the peace he had finally found after hundreds of years. He left both of his former apprentices with gifts. To Garoten he gave a blue coat, much like his own. He explained that the Blue Tenju was a rank of Protectors, sworn only to use their power for the good of all. In light of that, he also gave the older student his swords, bow and arrows - the tools of a Tenju Gaurdian to protect the ones he loved. To Tidus he gave his own coat and explained that the Red Tenju was a rank of Warriors, sworn to destroy evil and fulfill justice no matter the cost. He also presented him with a simple-looking ring that had once been used to forcibly limit his own power. Having mastered himself, Nishaio insisted Tidus had a long way to go. The ring prevents the boy's frequent emotional outbursts from accidentally triggering his powers, and only by intentinally removing the ring will his full power ever be unleashed... thankfully. Like Falkan Reval before him, the former Red Warrior begged Tidus to give up his desire for revenge and use his power only for good, and only when justice demanded it.

Tidus ignored the heartfelt advice of both his mentors, and now spends his life searching for unique artifacts or treasures that may provide a way getting vengence on his parents' killer and bringing his family back to life. Sometimes alone, sometimes with Jen at his side, he wanders Dragonia convinced that only revenge will bring him peace.
