Physical Stats
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 160lbs
Hair: White hair which is straight, soft textured, and just above shoulder-length. Usually it obscures his left eye (for no reason other than personal preference).
Eyes: Everything about his eyes are red, even the white parts have a slight red hue. Pupils are slightly silted. They glow red slightly at all times, but can glow more intensely on reflex or at will.
Appearance: Vejhan has a very elegant, slender build but does have a well defined musculature. Light skinned, some lightly red hued areas over the eyes and on the lips (natural). His are along the lines of an elf's except not as long. His hands are slender with slightly long nails but can extend long, sharp claws if needed. He does have fangs, but not very large in size or noticeable. But the most striking thing about him is his wings which are like a bat's except soft in texture.
Clothing: Despite his new role, Vejhan wears the same style outfit he has worn before his imprisonment some 600 years ago. Wears a vest like shirt with a high collar that has a white border around the perimeter, fastened by a belt below the chest and another around the waist. Simple black pants, kept from moving around too much by 2 belts around each thigh. Black boots with a slight heel and white sole. On his arms he wears 2 belts across both biceps, muslin wrappings from forearm to wrist and a belt on each wrist. Around his neck is another belt, all of which appear to be very tight and constricting but in fact are made from soft, stretchy materials. Around his waist he wears a long panel, also bordered in white, affixed with silver o-rings and black leather straps.  He also wears 3 flat silver earrings clipped two along the top edge and one at the lobe on his right ear, they act as power limiters and keep his full power in check.

Other Info
Personality: Vejhan is a very proud man and has a strong sense of right and wrong. He is soft spoken and but friendly, only smiling very lightly. He tends to be reserved, watchful of those around him, and never injects himself into a conversation. He tends to be very conscious of his appearance (habit, not pretentious), often adjusting his hair or straighten his outfit but he is not inhibited by modesty. He speaks his mind freely with no regard for anyone who happens to overhear. He has a dark sense of humor and can be playful at times. He carries himself with an air of sensual grace and superiority but maintains a sense of humility instead of arrogance, allowing himself to be approachable but still establishing his role. On the other hand he still is a being of darkness can be unbelievably cruel, merciless, much the opposite of his normal state which is usually brought on by extreme rage (reminiscent of The Hulk).
Miscellaneous:
● Being ageless does not mean Vejhan is absolutely immortal. He can still die, just not from old age.
● He has a regenerative quality. He can be dismembered or receive severe wounds and as long as it's treated quickly it will heal as if nothing happened. Two exceptions are being beheaded or something that totally eradicates his heart.
● Because of physiology, he is prone to bleeding profusely or violently.
● He is not immune to disease or infection, but is typically only the most severe cases affect him.
● He can change to an even more demonic appearance. The removal of his power limiters is usually enough to facilitate this and allows him to keep some control. If he does change as a result of a blind rage (the breaking of the power limiters), there is no trace of consciousness in his actions and he must be either knocked completely out or somehow new limiters must be applied.
● Vejhan's native tongue is not English ("Basic"). For the most part he usually speaks in Basic, but if he's been talking in his language ("Selkiur") for a while he forgets to use Basic. (Note: Selkiur is an archaic language with very flowy words along the lines of Tolkien's Elvish dialects).
● He has a slight, flowy accent.
● In text, quotes ("") show when he's speaking basic, angles (<>) when speaking Selkiur (translated to Basic for the reader's sake).


Character Abilities
Weapon Preference: None or Swords
Handed: Right
Skills:
● He is able summon flames, flame spirits, and flame fiends but usually sticks to simpler incantations until the need arises.
● He can use his spiritual power to augment his own healing ability or to accelerate healing in someone else.
● His hearing is extraordinary, said to be able to hear the whispers of the Gods.
● He can sense the presence of and sometimes intent of those around him, hidden or not.
● His sight is exceptional by human standards, able to spot something from hundreds of yards. Also is able to see auras or heat emanations from someone's body.
● Can fly for quite a while and can get quite high. At lower altitudes he can fly further than at high ones, conversely distance is sacrificed for height.
● Physically he is not extremely strong, but that is compensated with agility and tremendous speed.
● He also had the ability, though used infrequently, to make water luminescent and glow a dim blue. Really it's more handy for those with him who cannot see in the dark and when a flame is not an option (explosives, dampness, and the like).
Armament: Sometimes carries a Taito/Daikatana forged from an exotic metal in such a way to be stronger and sharper than steel and also a conductor of his energy.
Protection: Natural regenerative ability, if you can consider that protection.
Style: Vejhan has taken a less active role since he returned from sealing himself in the Great Void in attempt to keep the Avatar of Evil from destroying the world. If and when he is needed to fight he avoids any direct combat and relies heavily on his spiritual power. Only on rare occasions will he actually fight with his claws. He only kills if the situation demands it.


Background
In the past Vejhan was been all across the spectrum of character traits. At a young age was wild and rebellious personality. As a young man, the death of his parents made him ruthless, extremely violent, vengeful, and cynical. When he went against the Dark Emperor, he was imprisoned for 500 years for sedition even though it was proven the empire was corrupt and ultimately dissolved. He was feared because of the respect he had garnered from a sizable part of of the people, for this reason he was abandoned and forgotten. Left alone to be tormented by visions and hallucinations.

After more than 500 years he was reemerged in the world a stranger with little coherence of his past. He would be joined off and on by various people who would aid his travels across the world. Most seemed to have knowledge he was destined for great and important things. On one stop of his journey, he was badly wounded and found himself being in the care and in the arms of a girl named Ferolina. Through her he would find himself and transcend his checkered past. He would find himself in the middle of the battle between good and evil. Following where he was needed, he and any who would join him would beat back the oncoming evil. He would also find himself still having the visions and hallucinations from the time of his imprisonment.
