Personality
Taelian is a quiet man. A peering man. Always a wallflower from long ago, he has long preferred to be seen rather than heard, though when the moment comes that he is ushered to speak, his words tend to be articulate and direct. Taelian is a jaded man. Years of the death of his peers, of betrayal and becoming steeped in political games has dampened the optimism and hopefulness he once held, as he looms closer to the precipice of detachment. Despite this, he would call himself a good man, as would many others. He is loyal, diligent, and willing to risk all for the safety of those he values as 'loved ones', 'friends'. Having so little to call his family from an early age, he has learned to value what companionship he has found immensely.

Taelian is idealistic, and philosophical. He has a strong vision for what he perceives to be a better world, and perhaps somewhere in his heart, he believes he might be the one to deliver it. Despite being born in the drudges of Veranor, a peasant mired in filth, his ambitions to power and acclaim are great. Bolstered by a loss of faith in others, those ambitions have only begun to grow.

Reconstructing. Work in progress.

Racial Ability - Sundered
After being saturated in ethereal energy for so long, magic for the Sil'norai is a volatile if comely element. Sil'norai have learned to endure the effects of Magithermal Entropy's greatest consequence, Mageblight, better than other races. The Sil'norai have garnered an inherent resistance to such backlash through their exposure to radioactive ether, allowing them to expend ether to the point of Overstepping with fewer consequences. This gives them a small edge over other mages, who must demonstrate a modicum more caution when learning magic. This also marginally decreases the risk of death from magical initiation, meaning they are more commonly mages than other races, at least outside of Sil-Elaine.

Mageblight Graph
Currently: 0 (No Mageblight)

As a Draedan, Taelian cannot access mutations.

Hereditary Dilution
Taelian was altered by Wylen Elben of the Pact-Covenant to reduce the prominence of his Sil'Norai racial traits. In the span of several Necromantic surgeries, Taelian's ears were dulled to resemble that of a Half-Elves, his hair color was altered to a dirty blond and the appearance of his Sil'norai gloss and patterns were reduced through skin grafting. This has led him to appear roughly as a typical Half-Elf of ambiguous ancestry.

Argent Mutagen: I and II
As a Knight-Argent of Lorien, Taelian has received the first two mutagens common to their rank. The first mutagen has greatly increased his resistance to hypothermia and cold temperatures, given to him upon becoming a Knight-Errant. Upon his proper induction as a Knight-Argent, Taelian was given the second mutagen, which increased his height by roughly four inches, made his muscles and skin become thicker and more durable like a light plate of armor, and greatly enhanced his physical endurance.

Noble Class Clothing:
1. "A black suit of velvet texture, one that effectively clung to his physique, decorated exteriorly by a coat lined with heraldry-like patterns; the black and ivory eagles of his House, the ivory in each of their eyes, and within small necklaces, barely visible within each individual pattern. He wore platinum-colored jewelry adorned with sapphires, a silver and sapphire encrusted edge that ran along his sharp, half Elven-like ears, and a caged masque that ran along his sculpted jawline, his piercing golden-amber eyes deeply visible from within its mesh-like, twisted vines. Being a Draedan, the golden lines along his arms and collar shone somewhat through his attire, adding a flair that made him appear truly immaculate."

2. "A velvet, midnight-blue colored tuxedo, with gilded gold and ruby epaulettes, an elegant, platinum and ruby colored necklace adorning the space around his collar."
