## Gallery

Eljenai Alminak (real name Vetrill) is a member of the Heralds of Retha. He is a Dark Elf rogue that is mostly focused on stealth, speed, and assassination. Early on, he was a selfish assassin, only worried about himself. Over time though, he opened up to his friends, and become much more of a team player. He's now hellbent on protecting Retha, and maybe earn some gold along the way.

## Appearance

Eljenai Alminak is a black-skinned dark elf with white, unkempt hair, and bright red eyes. He has a lean, athletic, slight muscular build. He wears ragged gray clothes with a hood and bandana-like mask that obscures his face. He also wears brown pants and white bandages on his hands.

Becoming a mana being changed his skin to have dark blue markings. Becoming a superior elf gave him even pointier ears. Additionally, he now wears the full-body Shadow Sash full time.

## Brief History

Vetrill was originally a Dark Elf living in Hgel. The shadow-assassin rose to become part of the Demon King's elite guard of most trusted warriors, even wielding the mighty Shadow Sash. Unfortunately, he was defeated and taken by members of the Martyr Ten during the 3rd dawn. Gohdumsin held him in stasis for thousands of years, along with other individuals.

Stripped of his memories and most of his power, 'Eljenai Alminak' was released onto Retha in the 12th dawn. He was freed and met individuals then fled the dungeon together. At first Eljenai kept to himself, not sure if he could trust them. He would commonly go behind their back and do things that would only benefit himself, even to others dismay. He would steal, lie, manipulate, and not care about anything or anyone. Well, at least not at first.

Eljenai began to learn the values of teamwork and trust, and along with his friends, participated in the creation of a team named the Heralds of Retha. He began to realize that he wasn't alone anymore, and could open up to others. After going on various adventures, and completing multiple challenges, Eljenai began to change.

Even the test of the Braeburn Man deemed him "worthy" enough to possess the Braeburn Flail. Now being a changed person, there was less holding him back, and was on a path to becoming something greater. He unlocked the secrets to mana and surpassed his limits as both elf and assassin. Eljenai ultimately cured and freed every Dark Elf in Hgel, then led them towards a brighter future.

## Abilities

Eljenai is an expert assassin and stealth agent. He doesn't possess a lot of raw power, and primarily uses his items to fight, but does have useful abilities and exotic magics to give him a great advantage.

* **Multilingualism-**Eljenai is capable of speaking and understanding common, elvish, and demonic.
* **Dark Elf Physiology-** Regardless of his magic, Eljenai is a dark elf, which grants him a few useful natural abilities.
	+ **Enhanced Speed-** A rogue at heart, Eljenai naturally possesses greater speed then that of most races. He can run incredibly fast on the battlefield, as well items to boost this ability.
	+ **Nightvision-** Being a Dark Elf, Eljenai is naturally nocturnal, and can see in the dark.
	+ **Superior Elf-** Eljenai managed to ascend to a superior version of a Dark Elf. This transformation enhanced his existing qualities like speed, stealth, and understanding over magic.
* **Assassin King-** Eljenai has mastered the of art of stealth and assassination, making him one of the best rogues. He has learned advanced techniques like powerful counter moves, analyzing the strength and vitality of his opponent, and better follow-ups to critical hits.
	+ **Weaponry Skills-** He has extraordinary skill with a variety of weapons, most notably knifes. He has even been able to use them to their maximum proficiency, in the form of a backstab, dealing more damage with them than any other person would be able to.
	+ **Critical Strike-** A deadly technique, once per battle Eljenai is able to use his skills to deal a near-perfect blow with any attack. This will max out the damage of said attack with no drawbacks.
* **Mana Being-** After unlocking his peak understanding of mana itself, Eljenai's body began to change and evolve. This power grants him several advantages.
	+ **Magic Identification-** Eljenai's understanding allows him to identify any sort of magic. This can apply to a person, item, or place.
	+ **Mana Generation-** Eljenai's body has adapted to his fighting and long battles. He can now generate and recover a large amount of mana every turn, giving him a massive advantage.
	+ **Mana Imbuement-** With this power, Eljenai can choose to transfer his mana onto his weapons or items. The transfer is permanent but the item gains a great boost in power. The more mana is sacrificed the greater the boost will be.
* **Kethan Magic Manipulation-** Powered by an absorbed Manautan Mask, Eljenai can access and control Kethan Magic. He can use this special sorcery to enhance his weapons with magical properties, creating unique uses and attacks.
* **Soul Shade-** An astonishing ability given to him by the Kin of Spirits, this power allows Eljenai to increase the power of his next attack at will by using the power of his spirit. This ability costs him its own mana but can be incredibly useful during battles.
	+ **Fighting Spirit-** An extended ability, it allows Eljenai's spirit to remain in battle after death, effectively letting him fight. However, this technique drains a lot of spirit mana and his spirit is weaker than the real deal. After some time the spirit passes on and Eljenai is fully dead.
* **Void Magic Manipulation-** Obtained through the power of Rolisirth, Eljenai is now capable of manipulating a from of void magic, creating attacks and constructs. This ability began weak but grew more powerful overtime.
	+ **Starter Void-** These are Eljenai's earliest and weakest void abilities.
		- **Void Ball-** A slow ball of void, Eljenai can throw it at his opponents for small damage.
		- **Void Pellet-** This pellet is very similar to void ball only less powerful but more precise.
		- **Void Shield-** Eljenai can create a weak wall of void that can lessen the intensity of enemy attacks to anyone standing behind it.
	+ **Stage II Void-** These abilities are stronger but have unused potential.
		- **Void Geyser-** Plants an uncontrollable geyser in a radius that deals damage when stood on.
		- **Void Coating-** By coating weak weapons in void, Eljenai can temporarily increase their (1.4x) damage. This does not work on stronger weapons.
	+ **Void Minion-** Eljenai's best technique, he is able to create a personification of his Void mastery through a humanoid figure. This Void Minion has the unique power to absorb different forms of matter and magic to become stronger, and can even mimic the abilities of weapons he absorbs.
	+ **Void Form-** Eljenai can turn his entire body, items included, into Void magic. This form gives him increased power (1.1x), partial damage negation (-33%), and passive resistances to forces such as time. However, the transformation is exhausting to maintain and drastically drains Eljenai's mana.

## Equipment

Eljenai has a fun time experimenting with his items. He's collected some unique ones, and stolen others. He's become very creative in how to use them, and if any, what enchantments to place on them.

* **Cloak of the Bat-** Acquired more early into his adventures, this cloak allows Eljenai to assume the form of a bat during the night. He may be able to fly and sneak around, but staying as a bat leaves him in a very vulnerable state.
* **Braeburn Flail-** Obtained from the dungeon of the Braeburn man, this flail has a large variety of tricks. Having a more ranged mode and a more power mode, while constantly coming up with new uses, this is arguably one of Eljenai's most powerful items.
* **Onyx Dog Idol-** Found in the Frozen Ruins, this ancient relic is capable of summoning a beast, the Buff Dog, to help out Eljenai in his adventures. Even transferring some of his mana to it, its definitely an item to remember.
* **Shadow Sash-** A very special armor, it was used by Eljenai himself millennia ago as an elite guard. It was later recovered and reworn by the dark elf, giving him the ability to transform into and travel through shadows.

## Weaknesses

* **Mana Meter Drain-** If one of his items consumes too much mana, it leaves him tired and in a vulnerable state. His mana can always recharge after some time or even with Mana Potions, but if completely drained of mana, he is rendered unable to use any of his more powerful items.
	+ **Mythilin-** Mythilin, or more specifically Gold Mythilin, can be used to temporarily render Eljenai unable to access his mana, and by extension some of his items.
* **Glass Cannon-** What Eljenai exceeds at in power, he also lacks in defense. Not being able to take as many blows, this can be a disadvantage when in long fights.
