Character Description
Talin tends to prefer his black hair cropped short so as not to get in his way or need taken fair of. His muteness while a disability of a form did not keep the rest of his body from growing, his height reaching an astounding 6 foot. With his size being what catches most's attention, few stop concentrating on his height long enough to notice his oddly colored eyes. Depending on the light source they could be mistaken as either brown or a very dark and murky green.
Character Concept
Due to his muteness people would often think of Talin as cold, without feelings. That however couldn't be as farther from the truth. He is actually quite passionate about what he believes in. His lack of being able to express himself verbally however has effect how he expresses himself. Talin for the most part believes its in people's best ineterest to solve there problems themselves and on most cases prefers to stay neutral and not get involved in conflicts. However if those he cares about are threatened he will stop at nothing, be it through acts that would be considered good or evil that he will keep them safe.
Character History
Talin was originally born as Talin Martris. Something odd the midwife noticed was the fact that Talin did not scream, nor did he cry when he was born, not a sound was uttered from his lips. Despite the appearent silence of their baby the Martrises welcome him with loving arms. Growing up he and his father slowly developed a form of sign language between the two of them as a form of comunicating with each other. He never knew how a farmer had learned how to fight using martial arts but on the eve of his 6th summer his father took him out and gave him his first lesson. That became his life. Breakfast tending the farm, hour of practice, dinner and sleep. Thats how he grew up. It was an honest life. Upon his 14th summer his father showed him a secret to their fighting style, and began showing him the use of The Flux. Later on in his life Talin would ask his father why he taught him these things but all his father would ever say was that it was to prepare him for things later in life.
It came as a pleasent suprise when on his 19th summer he announced his plans to marry the daughter of a man two farms over. For a time he was happy, content with his life as a farmer, using his skills with martial arts and flux to tire himself out at night. However on the eve of a cloudy evening just after his 25th summer he was returning from his family's land when he saw plumes of smoke on the horizen. His fears were fully realised when he found his home burning, the fire already engulfing the frame. Dropping to his knees he began to cry softly, until he heard a faint scream in the distance. Without a moment's thought he rushed for the sound. He arrived too late. Holding his wife's mangled body in his arms his mind because clouded with rage and grief, hearing a soft laugh in the back ground was the last thing he remembered. The next thing he remembered was opening his eyes to one of the most beautiful things he had ever seen but as he moved to get up he felt a flare go across his chest, looking down he saw the mass of bandages wrapped around his chest. The woman, he later found out she was what was called a Konti, explained how she had been passing through when she had found him near death, a large wound across his chest. Once he had been nursed back to health enough to walk they made the trip to his family's farm. The same had happened there, nothing but the charred remains of the house could be found.
The Konti though still not able to understand him explained to him soon after that she had to depart to continue on her journey. Talin not knowing what else to do with everything he had ever cared about being gone, latched onto her like a lost puppy and began following her, though at a distance at first. Despite her many attempts at getting him to quit following her, and of course the few attempts she made of losing him, she seemed to eventually calm and get used to his company. It didn't take long for them to start sharing the same fire at night considering he had packed nothing for a trip. As time went on they got to know each other, Talin even teaching her the sign language that he and his father had developed.
