Character Name: Mordwythe Playby: (See above image.) Age: 21 Height: 5'9'' Weight: 145 lbs. Eyes: Golden orange. Hair: Dark brown/ shoulder-length. Build: Slim. Gender: Male. Distinctive Characteristic(s): At times very passionate, calculating, reserved, and a strong sense of moral balance. At times this can give way to power obsession and an unforgiving demeanor and mindset.
Personal History: At a very young age, it became clear to Mordwythe's parents that he had been born with the gift of sorcery. His eyes burned with an endless glow at times, he, himself, given over to strange fevers and ill-temper. This did not stop his boundless curiosity, however, when he came to the knowledge of the world of Sanctuary as a world of magic, good, bad, and in-between. It was not long before his curiosity carried him away with the changing times, and many such times he arrived back at the doorstep of his familiar birthing-home to a frustrated mother and distanced father. Tension continued to grow between them, his own passion and guile lending him to a life outside the home many times, until at last his parents had had enough. That very night, a Vizjerei, the Mage Drognan, found him, tipped-off by some of the villagers that had been on travel, and swept him away in to a life of study as his apprentice with little resistance from his parents.
Soon enough, Mordwythe had had enough of the life of a student, his mind filled to the brink with all manner of arcane knowledge that Drognan could cram in to his brain. The Vizjerei had found that the young man had a vast potential in the area of pure pyromancy, the art of fire-conjuring, one of the base elements as observed by many mages and sorcerers. He believed, even more so, that it had been part of him as a child. The mage had taken to turning every tome and ancient scroll he had to discern the source of the odd gift and, after many months, decided finally that Mordwythe was somehow conceived from an Elemental. That had, in turn, led to his questioning of the parents, as Drognan's mind was boundless in hunger, and had led to his discovery that the Mr. of Mordwythe's parents was not his true father. Indeed, that had been why his father had been so distanced from his adopted son for as long as he could remember. His mother, it so happened, had had a romantic escapade with a being from the Elemental Plane of Fire.
Tired of being examined and cross-examined as if he were some manner of specimen, Mordwythe left Drognan's care in Lut Gholein after nearly a decade, taking with him only a short staff he had rummaged from the mage's sale wares and the clothes on his back. He left because it was in his nature, because it was how he had been even when he had a modest family and home to live with. He left because he realized that within him was a burning desire since birth to expand his power, awaken the imprisoned half of his being, however chained it was to his mortal form, for he was just as much human as Elemental and was, as such, subject to all the mortal world's shortcomings: grief, pain, suffering, sadness, and death, and was still subject to a completely human body and mind.
This realization only fueled his desire to unlock his gift his absent, true father left him. It was only weeks later that the oddity that was Mordwythe, half human and half Elemental, found himself in the company of the Knights of the Burning Blade, seeking to hone his skill further and, if the opportunity should ever present itself in his work and travels, discover his father.
Special Training: He trained as a Vizjerei, although not officially accepted as one, and has proficiency in the control and summoning of the element of fire.
Weaponry: A short staff.
Armour: Travel-worn robes covered by a cloak and a belt about his waist.
Goals and Ambitions: Vaulting ambition to master his power.

Jetrall, Elfen: Sorry, I hope this will qualify. I tried to stress that he's completely subject to all the trials of humanity and is completely human in all regards except for his eyes. I'll fix it if it doesn't suit the bill.
