insane. insane, insane, insane. that is the best possibly way to describe slifer, as there is no definite reasoning to his actions nor attitude. he's a deviant, and is very spontaneous in his actions. he comes off as an exceedingly happy-go-lucky person who definitely doesn't act his age, though getting odd looks doesn't even seem to faze him one bit. he's a man of happiness and tricks, of jokes and especially known for his lack of seriousness.
he's got a world of his own, folks, and he's more often than not lost within.
he's a person of taunting and egging people on, so if you have a hot-temper, there's no doubt that you'll soon be trying to strangle this man with your bare hands, or doing whatever you can. he himself, on the other hand, is cool and calculating--it takes a lot to get him to blow his fuse, or to stir his heart. he has a good memory; he keeps a record of events and things in his mind and heart, and thanks to that, he also holds grudges, never letting them go until his debts are paid in full.
as it has been said before, slifer is quite the random guy. oftentimes, he can even come off as a creeper to some, but he really isn't. he just has.. issues. or so we think. he's just too happy for his own good. of course he's had his share of bad times, but he's just too jovial to let anything get him down. meaning he's so very optimistic it will most likely make you vomit blood. what a pretty picture. in addition to that, the leopard is a social person. he likes people, and he likes being around people. to those close to him, take note: there is usually virtually no such thing as 'personal space' to him. and making awkward situations? sometimes he considers that his job.
he's not a clumsy idiot either, so he can actually do decent jobs every now and then. however, the main problem one is to expect from him is either finding him (for he tends to slack on the job), or persuading him to even work. more often than not, he'll want to go explore and have fun. even so, when the going gets tough in desperate times, you can count on him. he likes scheming up devious plans, or coming up with new ideas, most of which cause problems and unnecessary trouble. he dislikes accepting that fact though, and will often deny failure.
APPEARANCE,slifer appears to be a tall, lanky adult with a muscular build, and long white, layered hair, that runs down to about his upper torso. It is often always straight, even if the air has a high level of humidity, and even after walking through a storm it would probably return to its natural order. he stands at a good six feet, three inches, and still manages to weigh a surprisingly light one hundred and eighty pounds. his complexion is a very pale tone of skin, although it borders just along the edge of making him appear to be a sickly man, which he is most definitely not.
his bangs are long, and to some might look rather bothersome, oftentimes covering up his face, albeit he doesn't care one bit. his right eye, which is mostly covered up by his hair nearly all the time, bears a black eye patch. the reasons for such is unknown, and it's probably better to not find out. slifer's eyes are a frosty ice blue in color, which really stands out from his normal dark attire. always narrowed in what could be amusement or anger or irritation, they no doubt give him an intimidatingly mesmerizing stare.
in his animal form, slifer takes on the appearance of a standard snow leopard. however, unlike his kin, his fur is completely monochromatic and black and white. there is no tint of brown or yellow, it is either white, black, and with a little gray in between thanks to shadows and the like. this lack of color greatly brings out his feline eyes, that bear the same hue as his human guise--a striking, silvery ice blue.
WEAPONS,» CLAWED GAUNTLETS
in human form, one of the most notable things of slifer's wardrobe would be the black gauntlets, which in fact seem more like gloves, worn on each arm almost at all times. said gauntlets appear to bear sharpened claws at the end of each finger, and although they are sharp and possibly lethal, they are not too much of a hindrance for him to be unable to perform daily tasks. he just has to be careful not to scratch anything... or one. of course, accidents happen.
ITEMS,» PAPERS
or rather, a stack of papers bound together to make a notebook, making it easier to carry around. slifer is known to use these for artistry, cartography (which is really, really horrid, mind you), or even notes. along with full sheets, slifer also carries many slips of paper.
» FEATHER PEN & INK
a pen made by a roc's feather, there'd be no point in having paper if he had nothing to write with. obviously, being an ink pen, there also needs to be a supply of ink, which slifer always has with him in a small bottle.
ABILITIES,» ANIMATION
LEVEL I — when slifer draws a picture of purely ink or something not engraved or embossed into the drawing surface (i.e., blood on paper may also work; drawing pictures in dirt or carving into a rock do not), slifer can, in essence, bring said picture to 'life'. at current, the drawings to not gain an actual form and become life-sized, but rather, 'peel' off of the paper, remaining 2-D, yet able to stand, and formed of whatever media was used. remember flat stanley? you could say these are similar to him, only animation uses just the outlines of the drawing: whatever he has drawn is what he gets.
slifer refers to them as anima for short.
they do not bear minds, and are not necessarily 'alive'. slifer is only commanding them himself. naturally, at this point, anima are more like pets. they can't deal damage, and are more of a form of entertainment and distraction at this level. at most, he can only have two anima at once, and last for about three posts. once expended, they 'dissolve' into nothingness, with a cooldown of two posts.
» FABRICATION
LEVEL I — by drawing a particular magic rune with whatever media he can get his hands on, be it ink, dirt, sand, blood (carvings are invalid, however), slifer can, in a sense, control the 'artificial' element he creates with it. said elements and manipulations are manifested from his own energy, meaning he can use it as long as he doesn't kill himself off from exhaustion. put simply, it works as such: there is a specific rune slifer has memorized, and upon drawing it, the element associated with the rune can be utilized as some form of attack, or even defense, in itself.
the runes themselves are mildly complex, and are specifically his, meaning if anyone else tried to draw them, nothing would happen. there is no activation or waiting time of the sort; he can draw and utilize the ability in one post. to activate a rune, on that note, doesn't take anything much but a snap of his fingers, or some sort of chant or shout or motion.
to use this ability a line of motion is required within the rune, else the element will just be 'summoned' and sit there as a stationary pool. so, to use runes in this manner, slifer must draw the rune, and afterwards an unbroken line, connecting with the rune in some way, in whichever motion he wants. if he wanted it to go straight forward, a line in front would suffice. if he wanted it to act as a snake spiraling upwards (i.e. a pillar), he would simply draw multiple circles around it, or if he wanted it to curve and turn, he would draw a curved line, so on and so forth. the one exception is for if he wanted to create a wall, he is allowed to draw a line directly across the rune itself. once activated, the attack is instant, like a sword slash.
if a rune is drawn and left dormant (meaning slifer has yet to activate it), if distorted, smudged, or cleaned off, it will be rendered ineffective. doing such while a rune is active will have the same effect, but is clearly a more dangerous stunt to pull off. slifer is able to have a one active rune and one dormant rune at a time, meaning he can draw another rune in the same time he activates one, but he cannot use that second one until the other is expended, and the cooldown is over.
once one rune's attack is complete, there is a two post cooldown until he can activate another. a dormant rune will only last four posts. if not activated within the limit, it will be rendered useless. runes will vanish when used up or destroyed, no no graffiti or damage is dealt (that should really be the least of one's worries, though).
as implied, to incinerate is to burn; meaning this rune is connected to fire. although it does give an added punch to his attack, the fire itself wouldn't be so powerful as to set the whole tree ablaze, mind you. whilst the flame that originates from the rune extinguishes instantly, should anything catch fire as a result of the attack, the flames themselves would eventually die on their own, and most likely won't spread either, unless someone caused something for it to be able to do so. fires will only last about two posts before extinguishing.

HISTORY,
originating from some arctic forest, as most of his kin, silfarion lafrenze was a boisterous child. he was always happy-go-lucky, and thanks to that, many of his relatives and friends believed him to have been born without a mind. not because he was stupid, because he was, in fact, smart enough, but because he often acted like he had lost it. fellow children were told to stay away, parents worried for his sake, but none of that seemed to phase him. he approached others with the stupidest grins, he (perhaps arbitrarily) played around with everyone, and eventually, they all gradually grew used to him, now seeing that despite his quirks, he was still 'a good kid.'
when he was young, slifer had a knack for art. an adventurous child, he often wandered from home (short distances) to stand atop cliffs and scan the horizon, he often stared towards the sky, simply because it was so mesmerizing. in short, he was dazzled by nature's beauty, and from there, he decided his own future. he wanted to see more of the world, and the other wonders that it held. nothing short of a typical dream, but he wanted to do it anyways, and he worked to do so. his parents refused to let him travel, though, so instead the young minish planned to save up for when he could officially leave, with our without their permission.
unfortunately, being the person he was, he spent most of his early teen years messing around and practicing random things, mostly including art. it was also around then that the young slifer found a strange mentor in his quaint village, a cartographer, and also, a magician. it was only all too predictable to know that slifer would be immediately engrossed with studying under the stranger, whom with he soon developed a close bond with, that which was almost unbreakable.
then, the time finally arrived. slifer was seventeen, and though he was considered a year too early, his parents decided that it would be okay for him to be on his own now. after all, they taught him what he needed to know, and he had also learned his own magic. that was when his real story began.
of course, as a beginning adventurer, slifer made many mistakes, but he was also able to quickly get back up and learn from them. he got himself in trouble many times, but there was never anything serious save for one particular incident, rendering his left eye half-blind and marred when he had a literal cat fight with a rather gruesome feline as he was traveling along a mountainside. slifer has no personal issues with it himself, but for consideration of others, he more often than not chooses to conceal it.
also thanks to the fact that he was 'all play and no work' in the past, he used up what little scrapings he held in an instant, and wanders as he does to this day: usually beseechingly requesting the help of others, of course making sure to return the favor whenever possible.
EXTRAS,
as implied, silfarion is more commonly known as slifer.
slifer is ambidextrous, mostly for his 'profession', as well as his ability.
he can consume large amounts of liquor without getting tipsy.
somewhat of a freelancer, likes to deliver things like a mailman, actually.
he can and will throw tantrums if provoked, be it on the floor, on tables or countertops, whathaveyou.
he has a horrible sense of direction, which may as well explain his homelessness and almost-hobo-esque nature.
