Noxaelius Avantine
Although he is a Miqo'te, he was named Noxaelius Avantine by the Duskwight Elezen family that adopted him, since they are not familiar with Miqo'te naming conventions. His name is usually shortened to Nox by people close to him, or people who simply do not want to pronounce a mouthful when addressing him.
Appearance
Noxaelius is a Miqo'te Keeper of the Moon with ebony skin tinged with a slight blue hue. His almond-shaped eyes are a very light gold-tinged silver and his full height brings him to about 5'9". This young man has high cheekbones with sharper facial features, giving him a constant unimpressed, almost intimidating look. He usually wears his platinum-blond hair in different styles, although he tends to prefer his hair slicked-back most of the time. Thin, low-set eyebrows and a thin, straight, high nose bridge contribute to his natural, slightly unfriendly expression. He has a few scars across his face, showing that this Miqo'te has been through some rougher times.
Although he focuses on the more arcane aspects of combat, his body is lean and muscular due to rigorous physical training. Intricate designs etched with black ink snake across various parts of his body and his face, with his left arm almost covered in them. Several scars are also present on arms, chest, and torso.
This Miqo'te usually carries around a long, black staff with a dull red crystal formation on his back and a medium-sized axe hanging from the side of his belt. He often keeps the axe under an invisibility illusion that is broken once it leaves its sheathe, simply to maintain the element of surprise, in case he is ever ambushed or suddenly attacked.
When under his Duskwight Elezen illusion:
Noxaelius takes on the appearance of a greyish, slightly olive-skinned Duskwight Elezen with very angular, regal facial features that make him look as unfriendly as his natural appearance. His eyes remain the same color and a similar shape, although they longer and more slanted. His hair has a very similar shade to his skin, the only difference being a few tones lighter, and is quite straight with a moderate length - ending right above his shoulders. It is also rather wild, with light-blond streaks and more tufts at the back. The male's long, sharp ears stand out prominently through locks of hair.
His body type as an Elezen is actually quite similar to his body type as a Miqo'te, the only exception being the length of his body and limbs in general, since Elezen are naturally much taller than his natural feline race. Since he always longs to be taller as a Miqo'te, he fulfills this desire by making his Elezen illusion a towering 6'10", one of the tallest heights among the tall race. The same scars and tattoos appear on his Duskwight face and body, although the tattoo designs and placement are slightly different.
Personality
Noxaelius has always been quite sure of his own capabilities as well as his appearance, leading him to become quite an arrogant person. However, he tends to keep the more extreme side of his arrogance to himself because he knows that it may not be well-received, so he merely appears to be confident. This side will often manifest publicly when he is in a heightened state of emotion, with people closer to him, or when he is inhibited. He is extremely fond of flirting with females he is comfortable with, and may often even hit on women he has just met, although that would depend on the situation. However, he will stop any advances immediately if he is rejected, due to his pride.
He also likes to make witty, sarcastic comments or "bully" (tease from moderate to extreme amounts) people who are close to him. The closer he is with someone, the harder he will tease them. He is particularly fond of teasing females over males, although he rarely makes vulgar comments unless the situation is appropriate. Despite finding enjoyment in "bullying" the people he cares about, however, he is very loyal and will always attempt to help out his friends and family during important events. Although he appears unfriendly and intimidating, he is quite willing to have a nice chat with a stranger as long as the topic isn't a huge waste of his time.
This young man is generally selfish and his actions tend to revolve around things that would bring him personal benefit. Meaning, he would not help a stranger out if they were in trouble, even if their life was in danger, without any personal gain. However, he is also not too interested in criminal activities, simply because he finds having to deal with authorities annoying.
Biography
Childhood
This Keeper of the Moon Miqo'te has never known his tribe or the ways of his race because he was adopted by a Duskwight Elezen family as an infant. Unfortunately, his adoptive parents are also clueless about his background because they merely found him placed behind a large boulder with a leaf over his body in the Shroud, as though he had been put there for protection. Therefore, Noxaelius was raised in the ways of the Duskwight Elezen despite not being from that race. However, he does not share the same animosity towards Wildwood Elezen.
Noxaelius had interest in destruction at a very young age and discovered the existence of Black magic from books. He thus developed a desire to become a Black mage and wield destructive arcane powers. However, he had no knowledge or experience of where to even begin, nor where to obtain a Black Mage Soul Stone, so he sought the tutelage of a retired Master Thaumaturge. The Master Thaumaturge was initially unwilling to take the child in as a disciple, but Noxaelius show promise and used various ways to sway the mage's decision. The Master accepted him as a student under the condition that he will never search for Black magic.
Teenage
The young man suddenly disappeared from his home in East Shroud one day at the age of 17 and his whereabouts were unknown for six and a half years.
Present
He has recently briefly returned to East Shroud to visit his parents, before setting off once more for reasons unknown. He appears as a Duskwight Elezen at all times, except when he is alone in an inn room or somewhere equally private, using an illusion spell and a special glamour catalyst. The reason he pretends to be an Elezen is unclear, and only his family as well as a select few people know his true race. Significantly more tattoos and scars mar his visage as well as his body, indicating that he had gone through rough times during his leave. During his disappearance, he obtained a Black Mage Soul Stone, but currently only knows one Black magic spell. Since he has only had access to some of the magic for about a year, he is not very good at the single Black magic spell in his possession.
Combat Abilities
Fire and lightning-based Thaumaturge magic happen to be Noxaelius's forte. Ice magic, on the other hand, he occasionally struggles with, since he did not put as much study into that element due to his Master believing that the ice element is rather useless. Unfortunately, the single Black magic spell he has knowledge of happens to be of the ice element, which is partially why he is having so much trouble with it. This Miqo'te is also proficient at illusion magic, since it was a part of his studies.
He is able to cast some Thaumaturge spells without his staff, seemingly due to some of the tattoos etched into his skin. However, these spells are significantly weaker than the ones cast with his staff. All the jewelry that he wears are actually replaceable crystal catalysts for storing reserve magic in. He also temporarily loses some of the vision in his left eye when casting a spell using Black magic (but only during the duration of the cast).
Noxaelius also has some experience with wielding an axe because, although he devotes most of his studying time to magic, he believes that simply training the mind is not enough to protect oneself, so he also trains his body. Of course, his melee abilities do not measure up to a person who has studied melee as their main method of combat. This male is very confident in his magical combat abilities and hates to lose. If he does lose and his opponent acts appropriately, he will accept defeat graciously but quietly fume to himself, staying in a bad mood for the rest of the day or night. He is always eager to battle because he believes that experience is the best teacher. He has not bothered to study any other type of combat and patches up his own wounds with items.
