Welcome to Gaia! ::

Character Name: Maitinaros (MY-tee-na-ros) Terolle (te-ROLL-a), or Midir (MY-tir) for short
Race: Homo Albus (Often referred to as an elf)
Age (When entered into the guild): 35
Appearance: Maitinaros is an elegant creature with a graceful build reminiscent of elves from the myths of old. In fact it was descriptions of his race that caused the legends in the first place. Standing about six feet tall, Maitinaros is blessed with a very toned athletic build that comes from years of running amongst the colossal trees of his home world. As with most of his race Maitinaros has pure white hair that clashes with his youthful looks, but creates interesting contrast with his brilliantly emerald eyes. Gracing the left side of his body from hairline to mid thigh is a black tribal tattoo that seems to flow forth from the corner of his eye. This pattern is an obvious abstraction of some sort of vine like plant. The other peculiar thing about this tattoo is that although the tattoo is obviously black it seems to have an almost iridescent green shine to it when light strikes at the right angle. In the way of clothes, Maitinaros will wear whatever he needs to in order to blend in as much as possible, but he has a strange cultural tendancy to wear either very muted colors, or spectacular hues that can be found in the plants of his home world (i.e. green, turquoise, blue, earth tones, and floral colors). Before he has had a chance to blend in, or when he is not attempting to do so, Maitinaros will wear a green, black, and white outfit, that looks like some strange crossover between a traditional Japanese kimono, and the wardrobe of Ancient Egypt. The outfit has many thousands of small crystalline green glowing gems, woven into it’s surface.. He carries with him a silver wood staff, with many glowing crystalline gems embedded in it’s smooth surface, the top of the staff is crowned with a small growth of leaves as if the staff has been carved, but is not dead. Around his neck hangs a necklace beaded with the same type of stone that resides within his staff, and among his roes. Each stone that Maitinaros carries on his person is etched with a single script like rune.
Bio: Maitinaros is normally a relatively reserved person, having seen much in his life time that he never wished to see. Yet under this cool exterior is a very kind, and gentle man, which he will only let those he considers close to him see. Although he may look threatening to those who are not used to him, or his people, he has made a solemn vow to never, in conscious mind, harm a living thing. Whenever, Maitinaros sees something that has been harmed in an un-natural way, or for an un-natural means, he will go out of his way in order to help the said creature. The only person whom Maitinaros listens to for complete advice is his traveling companion, Ethan Decker. Trusting Ethan with his life they have traveled across the galaxies, trying to both hide, and run from the bounty hunters that are after them.
Character traits:As a Homo Albus, Maitinaros ages only half as fast as a human, and thus his natural life span would reach twice that of most humans in good health. He has very keen senses about things that are going on around him. His sense of smell, and hearing are exceptionally acute. Excellent at dodging, Maitinaros will not use any of the other combat training that he has received. He will however stop someone from attacking, if he can manage to do so without bringing harm to said person. If Maitinaros can’t stop an opponent from attacking, and Ethan is not with him then he will simply run away. When Maitinaros feels strong emotions his iris’s will appear to shift and change colors.
- History: Maitinaros was born thirty five years ago on a planet known to the humans as Crudus Argentum, but known to him as Orantara. It is on this planet that Maitrinaros lived peacefully for 26 years. Maitinaros speant most of the younger years of his life as most of is friends exploring the dark jade forests that surrounded their tribes Soul Spire. It was in this glorious place that the children were taught the ways of their people. Through years of evolution the homo albus have developed a very curious ability. Through a series of organs imbedded in their skin homo albus are able to read a creatures genetics, as well as the status of any biological system. In addition homo albus are able to use another set of organs in their skin to effectively create virus’s and release them. This works by creating a strip of RNA, constructing a protein casing around it. The program that the RNA created contains can be anything from a localized “cancer” in order to regenerate a lost limb, to an immune system virus that causes the antibodies within a creature to attack its own nervos system. However, each student was taught that although destruction is a part of life, and must be learned with creation, it should never be used. At the age of 12 Maitinaros had completed his education, as was to become an apprentice. It was then that the first marks of his tattoo were pressed into his skin and the bacteria with which the homo albus have the greatest symbiosis was bound forever within his skin. Maitinaros was an apprentice hunter, and guard for the better part of 10 years, before he was deemed ready to receive the rest of his make, and take his place as a full member of the guard. Then four years latter just as Maitinaros had been promoted to captain of the eastern glen, they arrived. Humans, in vast numbers a race of technologically advanced creatures that obviously shared a common ancestor came from the sky in large metal and ceramic ships, and started to mine the lands. Unaware of what they were doing the humans started to destroy the planet for resources, just as they had their own. It was then that the eight years of war commenced. For years Maitinaros fought without a thought, protecting his home, and the humans raided the planet for all that they could. Then one day in the middle of the war Maitinaros lead a unit of men against the humans and their energy weapons. Both units were annihilated except for Maitinaros, and a young human cadet that lay wounded amongst the blood stained trees. Against his better judgment, and not knowing why, Maitinaros healed the cadet, and left him asleep on the field. It was years later when the humans had finally broken through the shell of the planet and revealed the truth that lay within. The planet on which the homo albus lived was not a planet at all, but a space ship of such size, that it had developed its own atmosphere, and life on its surface. For, although the Homo Albus were now nothing but tribal peoples that lived on the surface, they were once a very advanced group that traveled the universe studying everything that could be studied. In fact humans were an experiment by a single homo albus nearly a million years ago. Unfortunately, the core of the ship had gone critical and the inner levels had to be abandoned. Overtime, as things progressed the people had lost their knowledge, and had reverted back to the ancient tribes of old. It was Maitinaros’ tribe now that defended some of the old teleportation spires, and rings that graced the planet’s surface, and it was these that the humans wanted now. Maitinaros fought with as much ferocity as anyone could expect, but still his family crumbled. As chance would have it Maitinaros was found wounded by the very cadet that he had saved years before. In return for the mercy that was offered in the past the cadet, helped Maitinarose to escape the battle. Maitinaros ran to soul spire, and collected the soul gems of his entire villege, and fled through the gate to another world. He was soon followed by the human cadet who claimed that in helping the enemy he had become a deserter. The cadet had also placed some detonators around the teleportation areas destroying all evidence of their flight, or so they had thought. The young cadets name was revealed to be Ethan Decker, and ever since they have used whatever means they could derive in order to escape the humans who still hunt them to this day.
