Slade  Physical Information Race: Kelvic (Human/Raven) Birthday & Age : 19th of Spring 503 AV (6 years old) Gender: Male Physical Description Slade has the appearance of a wiry scarecrow of a man who has just now managed to reach adulthood. He cuts a lean frame which is usually shrouded by a rugged brown tunic or coat. His eyes, normally obscured by a wild tangle of dark hair, are coal black. He seems to be perpetually unruly and unkempt, giving him the appearance of a vagabond and a trouble maker. Being a Kelvic, he take’s the form of a large raven. The raven retains Slade’s tangled and shambolic appearance with feathers sticking every which way. Character Concept Despite having the appearance of an adult, Slade is in many ways still a child. He has little experience in social interactions as well as next to no knowledge of the world outside of Sunberth, often finding himself shocked by the simplest of things. Due to the years of cruelty he experienced under the rule of his former master, he has a cynical attitude and is often suspicious of those he meets. Despite this, he is always seeking meet new people, driven by the loneliness which plagues his race. He has developed a razor sharp tongue as a defence mechanism and often comes off as brash and vindictive. Also, he has an unhealthy obsession with shiny objects thanks to his animal side. Ironically, while he can transform into a bird, Slade has an irrational fear of heights. This is where Jericho comes in. Jericho first appeared in Slade’s head during Slade’s first transformation. While Slade is in his human form, Jericho usually takes a backseat to the action, nestled in the back of Slade’s mind, occasionally commenting on the situation. Once Slade transforms, Jericho takes control. Thankfully, Jericho does not share Slade’s phobia. He is an expert flyer, if somewhat reckless at times. Jericho may either serve as a voice of reason or a negative influence, depending on the situation. He often gives Slade advice, how helpful the advice may be varies wildly. He has a natural affinity for surviving in the wild. At times, Jericho is overtaken by a savage and overpowering bloodlust and during these times, he may try to take control of Slade even in human form. Character History Slade is the child of two unknown Kelvic’s in Sunberth. Immediately after his birth, he became the property of a man named Morgan Bellamonte. Slade’s family had belonged to the Bellamonte for generations, bred solely to serve as slaves to the Bellamonte’s and anyone in need of a relatively cheap Kelvic slave. Slade served as Morgan’s personal slave. Morgan was a cruel master and beat Slade for the smallest of transgressions. After two long years, Slade finally snapped. In the midst of a particular fierce beating, Jericho took over and retaliated with brutal fury. Morgan was later found dead by his wife. His throat had been torn open. Maria Bellamonte swore vengeance on whoever had murdered her husband. Luckily, Slade was long gone by then. The young Kelvic wandered through the Eastern coast for some time, drifting from place to place. He eventually stumbled into Syliras. He immediately ran afoul of the authorities courtesy of his fascination with anything and everything shiny. Slade didn’t understand the concept of theft at the time, but he did understand running away when someone started storming towards you shouting at the top of their lungs. Before he could be caught and hauled into a jail cell, a human thief that went by the name of Lucien Dubios snatched him out from under the nose of the authorities and into his home. The man took pity on the boy and decided to teach Slade his trade, lest he get caught again. Slade instantly latched onto the first friendly face he had seen in his four years of life and decided that this man was his new master. Lucien welcomed Slade with open arms into his life and soon began to consider his young apprentice as family. However, it was not to be. Maria Bellamonte had gotten wind of Slade’s presence in Syliras. She sent an assassin to the city to take care of the boy. The assassin soon found Slade, and made an attempt to kill him in his sleep. Lucien intervened, but in the struggle, a dagger was plunged into his heart. Slade awoke to find his mentor lying in a pool of blood. Jericho took control and Slade was able to escape the assassin. Lost and without a purpose, Slade began to wander through Syliras alone once more.
