Eladin
- Spoiler:
- Basic Summary:
Age: anywhere from a 100,000 to 500,000. If there are any older, no one has ever heard of or encountered them.
Powers: Eladin are 'Greater' nature spirits. As such they wield two sorts of complementary elemental powers, ie plants/water, fire/air, earth/metal or fire/lightning to name a few. Eladin also capable of the 'ESP' powers, such as telepathy, telekinesis and in some cases teleportation, but they only have one ESP power.
Strengths: As the elements are always complementary, they posses the strength of both and can often buffer the two, and temporarily increase their power. Fore example, the heat and friction of fire and lightning can increase one anothers power, water can be used as a medium to more effectively control plants, metal can support earth, etc. As greater nature spirits, Eladin are akin to walking nukes. It's not uncommon to hear of them causing tsunamis and earthquakes, or droughts and floods.
Eladin can also take on a human form, but because of their power this takes a long time. They can not take human for until they are at least 100,000 and unlike Eraphim, timing starts in minutes rather than hours.
It takes roughly 10,000 years for an Eladin to be able to stay continuously human for more than a few months.
Weaknesses: Eladin are tied more closely to nature than Eraphim, and though fiercely intelligent are not so in a very 'human' way. There is a real danger that if they over extend themselves, they could dissipate back into energy to replenish the earth- and never exist as anything more than that. Other than that, a canny and careful foe and use their elemental weaknesses against them. Eladin are also very curious, which is one of their main character faults.
On human form;
Because of their power, it takes a lot of energy for an Eladin to transform into a human and back again. Unlike Eraphim, they can stay human for much longer; however, the trade off is that once they transform back to their natural 'spirit' state, they can't turn back into a human for awhile. The equation is human time X 3 = rest time. So an Eladin that was human for a month would require at least three months recovery time.
Crossbreeds: Don't exist. The only other being an Eldain could plausibly 'mate' with and produce offspring with is another Eladin or a very strong Eraphim. They can have 'relations' with other species, but in human form they are infertile.
Misc Notes: Unlike Eraphim, Eladin are not bound to a specific territory. As Greater Nature spirits, they are charged with helping to maintain the balance of the world. Because of this, they freely roam all of the world, drawing their energy from a higher spiritual plane or tapping directly into the life force of the planet. They can bind to a specific territory, but this is usually dangerous for the life forms there as the highly potent energy Eladin emit changes the environment drastically.
When in their spirit form, only other nature spirits can 'see' them with no consequences. Many beings can sense them, but it is only very vague and easily dismissed by the conscious mind. Spiritually gifted mages and elementally aligned mages can often see and sense Eladin more clearly, but to view them directly is incredibly dangerous, often leading to blindness or a 'scarring' of their psyche which can debilitate their magical ability for several years.
Eladin usually keep themselves apart from human affairs for the first 100,000 years or so, only intervening as natural disasters or when the flow of life's energy is drastically disrupted. After this, however, many become curious about the hairless apes that have so much potential- both good and bad- and often observe humans for some time before taking human form. Unfortunately Eladin in human form are easily spotted by the ornate 'tattoos' covering their bodies, which are manifestations of their magic.
Older and more experienced Eladin (Around 120,00 or up) can minimize these tattoos, but only those around 200,000 + can hide them completely. No one can be entirely certain, but it is speculated that the Eladin life span is around 500,000 years, after which they return their energy and selves to the planet which gave them birth.
