Character Name : Cast-No-Shadow

Soul Name : Llirn (pronounced luh-LEERN)

Race : appears to be an elf/Athmari hybrid, but there are plenty of people who think this is a fraud...

Tribe : Wolfrider/Clan Betandi/Clan Vi

Description : Shadow claims to be the bioengineered son of Moonstone and Tarlen Vi, raised in the past by his grandmother, Shanin Betandi. Shanin claims that his mother is actually the Wolfrider Arrowsflight, a member of her crew. He is slightly below the average height and weight for a human male. He has black hair, huge black eyes with a slight epicanthic fold, and slightly tanned skin. His ears are somewhere between Athmari and elvan, and he has only eight fingers. He does not truly hate anyone (with the possible exception of one specific member of Clan Betandi, Kymil n'Sira) but he is frequently amused by other races, almost to the point of uncontrollable laughter. He has a slight Athmari accent and speaks very formally. Sometimes he sounds almost like a character in a Dr. Seuss story, and his fascination with rhymes doesn't help.

Uniform Personalisation : Has not yet been persuaded to wear a Starfleet uniform. What he does wear is a black jumpsuit with a black and green jacket, a phaser, and black gloves. Also wears four very thin, Athmari-made throwing knives, given to him by Great-Grandpa Seleyn, in an array of sheaths designed by his grandfather, Lukaya Vi. These sheaths are at either side of his waist and stack on top of each other so that he can grasp the hilts between his fingers and thus draw all four at once. He prefers to use bladed Athmari weapons, rather than energy weapons, but has not yet found any other race both honorable enough to adhere to "proper" forms of combat and skilled enough to provide a challenge. His boots are somewhere between standard issue and combat boots.

Bond-Animal : none yet, accompanied by the energy being Angaril

Magic Powers : sending, blacksending (he doesn't use this very often but when he does, he prefaces it with a comment about how naughty his victim has been), unharnessed but very powerful shaping of all sorts, stonesong (ability to summon/move/reshape stone through singing - see the movie "Labyrinth"), mental shielding

Starfleet Rank :Yeoman

Department : science

Specialist Area : Currently assigned to a rather mundane reasearch team; Blackfire is trying to shove him as deep into a black hole as she can. After all, she can't kill him without inviting a rather unpleasant visit from Grandmother Shanin...

Other Information : For details on the Athmari, see Shanin Betandi's profile and http://mariner.freeservers.com/ghidorah/ Ran into Pintwise shortly after coming aboard and is currently trying to figure out the maximum amount of dreamberry wine he can ingest without doing serious damage to his body. Has great tolerance for intoxicants of all sorts (this is common among Athmari due to the fact that half of their bodies are replaced with cybernetic implants) and is trying to work his way up to a full keg (dreamberry juice, Romulan ale, bloodwine, whatever he can get his hands on) in one sitting. Somewhat of a spoiled brat. Or is it just that the Athmari language translates in a very demanding way? Very talented with Athmari bladed weapons other than the traditional swords; Shadow is at his very best with the bareitha, which is a staff capped by a hooked metal blade (somewhat like Sailor Saturn's glaive in the later installments of "Sailor Moon"). Anyone who has seen him practice with it on the holodeck tends to avoid him while he is carrying it... Another of his talents is singing and playing the barallen, a guitar-like instrument.

Quote : "I do not understand, (insert name). I do not understand at all." "Oh, so *that* is what you humans (elves, Vulcans, etc.) do? Haaaah!" "More wine! NOW!" "I don't think my shaping was supposed to work that way..."
