Background: Born in an Elven city, Koryn grew up without his father who had abandoned him and his mother at birth. When he was born he was thought to be half-elve half-human. But when he went through his training for his Ranger skills, this thought was discarded. Koryn showed signs of high pyschic energy. He rarely missed his targets, and he was quicker and more agile than any of his brothers or friends(who envied him). He was trained my one of the greatest Rangers who dwelled in the elven city, whose name was Rift. Rift had learned the ways of Mystics(he wasn't very proficient himself because he just couldn't do it due to his nature as an elve). After Rift saw that Koryn was capable of above-average mental concentration he began to teach him. Koryn was a natural born Mystic. He learned abilities and spells, utilizing them like he had been doing it all his life. Amazingly, Koryn learned these techniques that would usually take years to learn. Once he was sparring with R! ift, when suddenly Rift landed a high damage move on Koryn. Koryn sprang up as if the attack had no effect on him. His eyes flared white and he unleashed his most powerful ability. He rushed at Rift and swiftly knocked him down and would have killed him unless he didn't have enough sense in him to stop himself. He later called this move Blind Fury, for after he performed this move, he lost his eye sight. From that day on he wore a black band over his eyes. When he realized he possesed these powers, he was filled with curiosity. Who was his father? He had asked his mother before but she would only change the subject. He decided to take the matter into his own hands. At the age of 11 he left his city, with the cloak of night to hide him. He would never see his mother, brothers(whom he didn't particularly care for) or Rift. He seeked his father through many towns, surviving by stealing anything he could, any chance he got. He began to shape his own personality and style. He wor! shipped Sammorth, the God of outcasts. Although he wasn't truly an outcast, in his mind he believes he is. He lives by no mans rules, believing that anything can belong to anyone who is strong enough to take it. He made a reputation for himself, citizens feared him, theifs praised him. If people were to put down their wallet, turn back and find it to have dissapeared, the first person that would come to mind who would steal it would be Koryn. But of course Koryn was too fast, no one knew his identity. People often wondered if he was perhaps a ghost or some sort of demon who could make himself invisible. But Koryn knew better. He continued to steal from people to support his search for the whereabouts of his father. Then one day Koryn, who was sitting around waiting and looking out for his next victim, was confronted by a man who thought he had recognized him. The man pushed his jacket aside and revealed a gun. He chanllenged Koryn to a duel, and he stated his name as Eltia! n. He intended to fight Koryn because he remebered that once he had seen Koryn steal his purse and run off with it. Koryn just realized one of his big mistakes. He didn't have a weapon, he had a bow made for him by Elven craftsmen, but he had no arrows. He never thought of getting into a real fight. The man pulled out the gun, cocked the hammer, and was about to fire when the gun was knocked out of his hand. In the distance three figures were silouettes in the horizon. The men, riding on horseback, galloped furiously towards them. They were a strange lot. The man in the middle seemed to be the leader. He was dressed in the clothes of a rogue. His allies were dressed the same, and Koryn noticed that the the man to his right was a Dwarve. The leader was the one who had saved him, a custom made pistol in his hand. He dismounted and spoke gruffly to the other man who attacked Koryn. The man wasn't about to fight this guy. He hightailed it out of there. The leader of the group we! nt up to Koryn. "So, you are the Thief we've been hearing about so much... hmm, we've been out done by a mere fowl. You know kid, you have potential. You may not have noticed, but we've been watching you. You've stealed some valuable stuff." he said. "Not only has he been stealin high value stuff but he's been stealin our business." the Dwarve remarked. The other two laughed. They took Koryn back to their quarters. They introduced themselves as Roc (the leader, who was human), Jahiv(a desert pirate who had been saved by Roc when they were imprisoned together in the Great Raid of Nebruhei), and Trukgil(the Dwarve who had been freed of slavery by Roc and Jahiv). Apparently Koryn was a respected person to the theifs. He was initiated into their group right away, and he crissened the band The Lone Hoods. They went on many raids together, but Koryn never forgot his goal to find his father. He became expertise with his Elven Bow. But he didn't use this as his main weapon. Inste! ad he used a hunting rifle, he only used the bow as a last resort. He was now the leader of The Lone Hoods and the rest of the band promised to help him search for his father. From then on the four continued their adventure to find Koryns father.

Abilities/Magicks: Mystic Skills:Advanced Clairaudience (hearing sounds from afar.

He can often tell what most people around him are thinking, or what they will say or do next), Mind Probe (reading memories. He can read others, but not his own), Danger Sense(sensing danger when it's near), Primitive Precognition (predicting the future. He can only predict what will happen in a span to a few days to a few seconds. He cannot predict longterm stuff), Molecular Agitation (heating non-living/unintelligent objects. This ability allows him to create an artificial torch, or cook food without fire), Camoflauge(he can blend in with the backround. He is highly skilled in this ability), Poor Shape Shifting(his most unresearched ability, not only does this take a large amount of energy from him, but he can never quite get it right), Telepath! y (mental communication. Highly skilled), Mental Silence(a skill that shuts out all outside noises/actions, it allows him to regenerate his energy more rapidly), Black Eye(allows him to temporarily cloud a foes vision, making them see hallucinations, or what he wants them to see), Crouped Speed(allows him to concentrate his muscle power from all ares of his body to make himself quicker and more agile), Mind Bend(psychically bending his opponents mind, only works on simple minded characters), Blind Fury(his strongest attack, it delivers a adrenaline burst throughout his body.

Weapons/Items: Hunting Rifle- A custom made hunting rifle, he acquired it in one of his many adventures with The Lone Hoods. Elven Bow- He recieved it after completing his Ranger skills. He only uses this weapon as a last resort. Arrows- Koryn has an assortment of arrows, the normal steel kind(the steel is actually custom forged by Trukgil, the Dwarve), poison tipped, flame tipped, ice tipped, light tipped(best for demons), and other elements. Rogues Dagger- Made for him by Trukgil, it is forged from the rare black metal found in the mountains. It is idestructible.

Nature/Alignment: Even though Koryn is a thief, he's not directly evil. His heart is in the right place.

Special Notes: Koryn may have a lot of abilities and magick but he is really a moderate fighter. He relies on his magick abilities and his perfect targeting to finish his foes. He doesn't like close fighting, the only weapon he has for that is his dagger. He is a little skilled with hand to hand fighting, in the style of Elven Boxing which is basically an assortment of weak punches and quick footwork. Usually Koryn will teleport away from his foe if possible and fire away with his rifle. (keep this part of the info confidential if you can please: Koryns' whole upperbody is his weakness. He doesn't wear armor, so often a direct hit can knock him stone cold. Usually he is quick to dodge such crucial hits, but once in awhile he may slip up. He also can't take supernatural characters. Angels and demons tie him up. He is especially vulnerable to their magicks. Most of his attacks will barely affect these characters(he will confuse them with his psionics and often run). The o! nly weapon that specially works with demons are his light arrows. His poison arrow works with characters such as Angels. His knife is good with smaller animals such as dogs, bats, snakes and such. His natural defense is to use ESP to see what his opponent is about to do and quickly counter.
