Riapsed

"For this is what I propose, one Sin'Dorei who may simply glance from side to side among the shadows. Beholding the very blinding light on one side and the utter void of darkness on the other. Oh but never dare crossing over to either one of course, but more than willing to give a slight hint into the very perspectives of one's own enemies to his potential allies. Now isn’t that worth a little grey patch upon the Order’s pristine tabard?" – Riapsed on his justification for entry into the Suncrown Order
(UNDER CONSTRUCTION)
Zephon Dawnstar, more commonly referred to as Riapsed is a Sin'Dorei Demonologist and self-proclaimed Shadow Seneschal of the Suncrown Order. Often seen by most of its members as a Warlock nuisance and troublemaker, the often charming and witty Riapsed has shown a surprising amount of zeal and loyalty to the Order’s goals, despite not completely following the very principles they use to achieve them. A well-traveled and rather eccentric Elf, Riapsed takes a great deal of pleasure in the finer, more materialistic past-times in life, with this showing him to be an occasionally arrogant and impulsive figure. However his carefree and charismatic outlook on life hide a much more troubled Elf who only wishes to become one with his people once again.
==Physical Description==
A Sin’Dorei of relatively average height for his race, Riapsed tends to engage in very reserved and defensive postures when engaging in conversation. More often than not he appears remarkably ruminative and attentive, seemingly taking in all scraps of information with his calculating mind whilst proceeding to simply clasp his shifty-looking hands and fold his spindly arms. With a handsome Elvish face, slightly withered by his lifestyle, Riapsed indulges his appearance with atypical adornments such as his glass monocle and dark earthy robes, usually colored with tones of blood-like red, charcoal black and ivory white. It is not unusual however for him to be seen in much more varied colors such as green or purple, more so when he is travelling in disguise to the Alliance territories of the Eastern Kingdoms. With his rather unique, non-conforming tastes in clothing, Riapsed somewhat vainly takes a pride in his natural Elven features, with his skin appearing just as serene as some of his younger brethren but with a distinctly paler complexion, undoubtedly due to his darker fel encounters with magic. With his original dark brown wavy hair now dyed red in remembrance for all his people killed by the Undead Scourge, Riapsed bares a small soul patch of facial hair against the casual norm of the Elves, giving him a slight swashbuckling look to compliment his travelling escapades.
==Personality==
Appearing as a rather happy-go-lucky but sometimes cynical and sarcastic Elf, deep down Riapsed only wishes to prove his worth to his fellow Sin'Dorei, feeling so very lonely after years of solitude in his nomadic travels. Though often displaying expressions of charisma, light-heartedness and experienced insight, Riapsed also shows less desirable bouts of bitterness, melancholy and resentment, especially in times when his efforts at gaining accepting with the Order are shunned. When showing his enthusiasm and positivity, Riapsed can seem rather nonchalant and blasé, appearing more interested in pursuing pleasurably past-times such as fishing in the Stillwhisper Pond of Eversong Woods or collecting ever-more exotic herbs for his alchemy and smoking hobbies.

==Skills and Abilities==
Despite primarily being a magic user in battle, by no means does Riapsed shy away from physical combat, being more than proficient in the use of blades such as daggers and long swords whilst also maintaining a certain mastery of staves. However in terms of ranged sorcerous ability, Riapsed has powerful control over the mana manipulation of shadow and fire magic with some knowledge in the arcane. The first two have become his preferred choices due to his attempts at becoming more suitable for the Order, however his shadow magic abilities are impressive and he justifies the use of such capabilities in the same way many priests do. In terms of his fire preferences, Riapsed utilizes his powers to cripple and slowly eliminate his enemies via spells such as Immolate followed by Incinerate, ensuring maximum damage to his hapless foes. He also finds great enjoyable enjoyment in calling down Rain of Fire, as Arkhaan Suntalon of the Order is more than aware of. (INCOMPLETE)#
==Character History==
(TO BE ADDED)
==Relationship with the Suncrown Order==
Riapsed harbors a rather complex and often volatile relationship with The Order, his very presence causing some of the more zealous members to be filled with disgust and antagonism. Often showing up out-of-the-blue and always uninvited, Riapsed appears to sometimes enjoy his rather outcast/pariah-like status among the Suncrown Order, gallivanting his freedom around them much to the chagrin of members such as Arkhaan, who Riapsed feels he has a humorous brotherly relationship with despite the former’s obvious loathing of him. Though the majority of members range from disliking him immensely to outright calling for his death, Riapsed maintains a special friendship on his part with the young Mirithe Springleaf, whose innocence and naivety inspire him greatly even when his own motivation becomes bogged down with failure and depression. Most of Riapsed’s interactions with the Order’s leader Faroth'arn generally consist of the demonologist’s attempts at rationalizing his opinions in regards to “demonic regulation”, however despite being a noted debater and conversationalist, his arguments often fall upon deaf years, adding to his frustration.
