<div style="text-align: center;">The sun was starting to rise, the sky above a mixture of reds, pinks, and orange hues. Clear horizons with no clouds, a good sign that things were going to be well that day, but in the distance one could see dark clouds beginning to form, and if you looked hard enough, you could see flashes of lightning across the flat plains of darkness that symbolized the pain and suffering of the land, the trials that all went through, but the Elvish kind suffered the hardest from it all. Despite the shadowy omen that began to stir, the birds in the trees were singing in celebration of a new day dawning, and the animals that slept started to stir into waking, while the ones who called the night time their domain went to their homes, to sleep the daylight away. <br/><br/>It was an age of humans now, the Elvish race having thought to have died out that cataclysmic day, the day that things seemed to end, time itself comes to a halt as a dark energy formed on the flat lands that the battled had taken place. Each of their own kind, water, fire, earth, sky...no matter what realm they had come from, even the Lurkers, with their darkness, stopped, to look upon this sight with dread, before it burst forth, enveloping them, and they were gone. All that was left was a black and purple miasma that covered the land, absorbing any life that was left, the grass wilted, animals died, and it was left to be a bruised scar upon the surface of the world. Ever since that day, no one had seen any sign of any Elf, nothing at all.<br/><br/>And yet, something stirred. A ripple across the space of time and fate. A breath of life, having thought have disappeared, forms. A chest rises, and falls, a heart beat sounds, like a silent gong announcing that change was to take place. A sensation of air rushing past a pair of pointed ears, and the feeling of falling. A pair of eyes open, just barely, to take in the sight of blue, blue sky. In the sunlight, the armor that was on the body glints, and could be seen from quite a ways away. A hand reaches up, for what, that one would only know. Fingers clasp on to nothing, a fist forming, and the body braces for impact. <br/><br/>The body falls, falls, falls, and finally, hits the earth, eyes closed once more. The body had landed just outside the walls of a town, in a grassy place. What was going on? Why was this happening now? Who was this? They wore such outlandish clothing, which hadn't been seen in over a century, ever since that fated day. And yet, this stranger, that fell from the sky, was wearing it. A sign...that was what this was. Good or bad, that was yet to be decided.<br/><br/>The stranger, who the people would find out was a male, was oblivious to the world that was around, unaware that people had seen the phenomenon that had taken place, and the guards were rushing to lift the gate to the town that kept unwanted visitors out at night. Oblivious to the murmurs, the voices, the stares. Unknowing of the people who would soon approach his unconscious body.<br/><br/>Unaware of the time that had passed, and that he was to wake to the world he didn't know...<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Changing Darkness Stirs Within</span><br/><br/><a class="postlink" href="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1379779545i/393625._SY540_.jpg">[ img ]</a><br/><br/><span style="text-decoration: underline"><span style="font-weight: bold">General Information:</span></span><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Name:</span> Thanatos<br/><span style="font-style: italic">Name Translation/Meaning: N/A</span><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Title:</span> Prince of Darkness and Despair, The Shadow Prince<br/><span style="font-style: italic">Nickname: N/A</span><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Age:</span> Appears to be around twenty or so<br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Birthday:</span> October 30<br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Gender:</span> Male<br/><span style="font-style: italic">Race: Elf of Darkness</span><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Elven Tribe: Lurkers</span> <br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Home Country:</span> Shadow Mountain<br/><span style="font-style: italic">Sexuality: Doesn't specify<br/>Occupation: Does being the son of Hades count as an occupation?</span><br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="text-decoration: underline">Appearance (In Elf Form/Hybrid):</span></span><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Height:</span> 5' 9"<br/><span style="font-style: italic">Weight:</span> 138 lbs<br/><span style="font-style: italic">Eyes:</span> His eyes are a light silver color, almost white in appearance as if he were blind.

Or at least begin to start a transformation within himself. He knows of the evil that his people are doing, but because of his heritage, he has a hard time controlling the darkness within himself and sometimes loses control of the clarity that he has newly found. Deep inside, he wants to change and is trying to find someone to help him. Besides all this, when around him, he's a bit on the cunning side and has a rather crude and dark level of humor. He's your typical chaotic neutral kind of guy.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Saying #1:"The darkness, it stirs within me. Rearing it's ugly head, sniffing around to see if there are any openings to strike at the moment least expected. To take me, prisoner, once again. Sometimes it fails, but at other times, it wins. I don't know what will happen. But this thing within me...someday I shall control it, instead of the other way around."<br/><br/>Saying #2: "Darkness conquers all but the light. But the same goes for light. Where there is light, there will be darkness. Where there is darkness, there will be light. Sky and ocean. Sun and the moon.
