He carries himself with a calm, cool air, which can be slightly unnerving as he always seems to maintain it, no matter the circumstances. He keeps his long hair in ponytail that reaches almost to the middle of his back, and it never seems out of place or disturbed, even when he pulls loose the string that keeps it restrained. His face appears soft and pale, as though he hasn’t had to travel much in the sun, or worked very hard at all. His hands follow suit, smooth and clean, more the hands of a noble’s son or scholar than an adventurer. While these aren’t especially unusual qualities, the way he speaks with a cool and smooth voice in addition to his posture and bearing make him someone to which others listen.All of these things wouldn’t be particularly unusual, even taken together. No, what makes Jex unusual is his mastery over pure darkness and shadow, so strong that he is able to manifest and summon a creature of that pure darkness, a giant shadow companion that he has taken to calling Eissun. This creature seems to listen to him, but his own personal shadow sometimes seems to move of its’ own accord, out of sync with his body. When this is noticed, it is an altogether disturbing event.===================================Background:A Darokin native, Jex was born to an immigrant family from the Soderford Jarldoms, his parents seeking to escape the harsh climate and common bickering and fighting. He was raised to learn the merchant ways, but he quickly drifted away from that, showing signs of magical talent. He was soon instructed in the way of the wizards, but it never caught on with him. His own power seemed more natural than wizardry. Yet, he also never showed the same signs as a sorcerer… His own supernatural talents seemed to occur most often when the world was dark. Over time, as he researched and focused, he learned of shadow magic. He made contact with an actual shadowcaster and convinced the older mage to take him as an apprentice, much to his parents concern. Jex learned the ways of shadow, night and darkness, and how to manipulate these forces himself. After he had learned all he could, he left, never looking back.He took to life on the road with some difficulty, not used to going hungry sometimes. Nevertheless, he worked through it, taking work as a sneak, or sometimes a mercenary mage. Over time, his powers grew until he developed the strength necessary to summon a creature of pure shadow, which has been his one constant companion since then.Recently, he was hired by the Darokin government to try to track down the elusive Master, learn or steal his battle plans, and possibly assassinate him with the Crystal Dagger. Jex failed, was captured, held and interrogated until his shadow companion recovered, slipped in, enveloped the guards in its icy embrace and cloaked the halls in shadow, allowing Jex to escape. The young man snatched his belongings and the two fled, using his shadow powers to cover their retreat. Since then, the two have been trying to disrupt the Master’s forces with small ambushes, while simultaneously trying to find Darokin forces to rejoin and report.[/sblock]</blockquote>
