I would say Aetheron has memorized the book, weak light magic is fine, he rarely uses it anyway. Heck he rarely uses anything for combat. Typically he's the cryptic soothsayer type.
Anyway, who made the book of chronomancy? I would say Aetheron's true allegiance would be to him/her, even if that person is dead.
Oh and added a picture that I just sketched up. A cookie to whoever can find the picture I used as a "template" to draw it.



Oh and ya...I didn't draw legs...The pic I was using didn't have legs sooooo.....ya...didn't draw the legs...

Other appearance notes:
- Silver Mask with ornate gold trim
- long cloak of silver with white trim with intricate details
- a light greyish blue tunic with white trim
- silver chest plate and shoulder guards embedded with red gems
- silver colored pants with silver knee guards and brown boots.
- Silver- white hair (not going to add his eye color yet~)

Oh and the sword is called Dimidiae. Nothing really special other than the fact it is a part of his soul and therefore cannot be removed from him (i.e. physically impossible for him to drop it or to throw it. but he can sheath it into the scabbard.)

Oh and in summary of his appearance.
Knight in shining armor with a cloak to hide it all. (might say there is some ornamentation on the cloak that I didn't draw in like gold chains...hmm...)

Name: Uses the name Lucas, but it is not his real name.

Age: exact age unknown, but considered young by Yaju standards but considered old by human standards, a range of roughly 70-150 years old.

Gender: N/A (male)

Race: Yaju, human/hummingbird hybrid, able to fly in any direction e.g. forward, backward, hover etc unlike most birds.

Magic type if any: weak aeromancy, mainly used to aid flight, he learnt this from small transcripts of the wind tome, he got these transcripts from doing some jobs

Weapons if any: a set of 8 light-weight well-balanced knives. Two primary knives which are specially designed with strengthened blades for close combat. 6 extra Knives that can be used for melee or for throwing and other things, one side is like a regular knife, while the other is serrated, point to extra-sharp. Knifes are worn on a belt with sheaths for them, 2 at the sides for the primary knives, 3 behind for the other knives. The remaining 3 knives he keep hidden about his person.

Faction: Yaju tribe, originally unaffiliated but due to the Undead threat, decided to join the Yaju tribe.

Appearance: Imagine, those people from Maximum Ride. A boy with wings on his back that can fold neatly onto his back, but prefers to keep them unfolded and moving. Black hair, Black clothes, a black jacket with a hood that he uses to hide his face all the time. Only a hint of grey eyes are visible. There are big slits in the back of the jacket for the wings. No shoes, due to having claws in place of feet, this also makes walking a bit awkward for him, so he prefers to hover around. Carries a small pack with a few items he collected and carries around. No armour, it weighs him down too much, the only weapons he habitually carry are a few light-weight knives.

Personality: Hyperactive, sometimes seen as crazy, but when necessary can calm down. Has to have something to do, if bored, then he will go around to find something to do, usually these things has a negative conclusion. Willing to help others usually for a favor, but will do a lot for a friend. Doesn't trust people much.

History: Used to wander around on his own, he usually offered his services for deeds on the wrong side of the law, e.g. stealing, assasination etc, he did them for rare or valuable objects that he kept, or sold or bartered for other things. Things he usually keep are things like transcripts of tomes he acquired from jobs and other interesting things like a glowing blue crystal he acquired from a target that he had been sent to rob, he is not sure what it is for, but the crystal had had the best defense around it, and thus though he did not know what it is, he acquired it along with the actual object he had been sent to rob. As far as he can tell, the crystal does not do anything, but it was at least more reliable than a fire for light. He keeps himself apart from society and only recently joined the Yaju tribe to help fight the necromancers. He does not tell everyone about his past though, it was hardly going to make him be accepted in the tribe, luckily he had kept his "jobs" low profile in the past, not many knew about him. Almost nobody knows about his past before he started travelling, and he is extremely secretive about it. Now, he is currently training in the Tribe, his stealth and speed was fine, but he needed to work on his weapon skills other than knives and also his strength needs work

Strengths: Uses two knifes quite adeptly as his main weapons, relies on speed and agility. Also very good at staying undetected.

Weaknesses: Water annoys him a lot, he cannot swim well and it hinders his flying. He dislikes the underground, preferring to have space to fly in.



question: why is it called "sanctuary"

Name: Nera

Age: what would be seen as a 20 years old in terms of Yaju (I don´t know the Yaju life span)

Gender: Female

Race: Yaju, human/fox hybrid (Yeah im crazy for foxes if you haven´t noticed)

Magic type: water magic, mainly for survival as she may create wether water or ice from water surfaces to protect herself from the enemy or for other survival needs

Faction: Alliance, despite that her tribe refused to help the alliance, Nera wants to help the humans and abains with the oncoming threat

Appearance: Nera´s body is more animal than human and it is covered in a black and white fur, most of the back area is black but has noticeable white areas (, she has a slender body and a height of 1.76 meters (1.83 with her ears), the face is fox-like with purple toned eyes and her ears are perked upwards but can flop down depending on her emotional state, her hair is black as the night and goes down to her shoulder, the chest area has white mane that covers her female attrubutes, white fur going all the way to her waist. Both her arms, legs and tail have black fur on the limbs with white fur on the hands, feet and tip of the tail. The feet are completely animal, but the hands are more human like. In the clothing area, Nera tends to use an armless leather chest armor for movility and a studded skirt with gaps again for better movility, fingerless gloves in the case the fox has to use her claws to fight. But she has a hooded cloak to hide from both the possibility of scaring civilians and to hide in the shadows from her enemies

Personality: Usually calm and helpful with the people she interacts with, but can change to a more instinct following one in terms of battle and survival

History: Nera lived with her kin in Silverwood Grove and was usually working at the blacksmith with her family by making weapons and armor, at young age the fox developed the magic of water, but her parents did what they could to hide the girl´s ability to the public, but that didn´t stop her to use it in her daily life while going for hunt and at the blacksmith. As the necromancer´s threat was becoming bigger, the Yaju comunity didn´t wanted to help the humans nor the abains. The now developed fox was skilled for the warriors and had good ability with her water magic as she trained secretly by herself, but she wanted to help the alliance since they were working the other species. Nera declined the offer of her superiors and left Silverwood Grove to go towards the alliance hoping she could help and show the Yaju weren´t just beasts. Equipped with a layered steel sword created by herself, the fox faced the world

Strengths: Nera´s main weapon is a layered steel sword she made and can use her claws in case she loses it, but while working on the blacksmith, the fox can wield a majority of weaponry as she had to test most of them.

Weaknesses: High spitched sounds, as the fox´s senses are heightened, Nera can be assaulted by extreme sounds making her lose mental and/or emotional strength

This is good all but one thing. In minecraft obsidian is a super hard material few things can break but in reality it's a very brittle glass like material. Not really good for weaponary. I'll still approve you're character but you need to change that unless you want glass weapons. btw i knew you would pick a fox Yaju ^o^ i made the race with you in mind actually.

Oh question: what limitations did you have in mind for time magic? If ya didn't have anything in particular I would use the limits I had in my story.

i.e. take each aspect of time manipulation and set what happens in each scenario

>In My story's limits: Going forward in time, not very taxing on the user, however going back in time could kill the user depending on their spirit/will. stopping time for extended periods will drain the user's physical stamina...again the catch is spirit/will as there are those, such as the Guardians (remember I'm taking things straight from my book) who have an incredible mastery of time manipulation. Each Guardian, however, mastered a certain aspect of it. Aetheron: going back in time, Erebos: Going forward in time, and Aion: stopping time. Thus, Aetheron is the only one who can truly manipulate the aspect of going back in time in my story, so in here I would keep the ability for him to go back. This means he cannot go forward in time, but he has minimal ability to stop time (so it's like a percentage, where Aetheron is 75% going back and 25% stopping)

Oh and edited my app with Aetheron's sword

>Added These facts:
Weapon: A longsword called Dimidiae. It is tied to him by spirit, in a sense it is a small fragment of his spirit. Because of this trait, it cannot be removed from him (i.e. physically impossible for him to drop it or to throw it. but he can sheath it into the scabbard.) It has a sister sword held by his brother, Erebos, which bears a similar design save for an inverted hilt. The sword is made of a form of colorless crystal that is supposedly unbreakable. The cross tree is white and has the texture of feathers, yet is actually made up of the same material as the blade.

Despite being a part of his soul, it is considered one of the artifacts of Heaven's Forge.

Trivia: The pommel stone of the sword bears a resemblance of a crescent moon encased in a clock face...
Trivia: Some believe that he is actually blind as he never looks at whoever he is talking to...

Edit 2: Oh and the role of Priest of the Temple of Time (puts on green cap) Shrine of Time (how bout something snazzy like Shrine of the Eternal?)...what ish the history of the role?

Oh and I'm thinking about just having him guarding something important in the Halls of Time, which could we say there is some ruins of what appears to be a mansion yet is reduced to nothing but almost the outer walls and the foundation? This would have been the physical resting place of the Halls of Time, while it still exists in the past (Think Temple of Time in LoZ: TP.) a gateway in the ruins would lead to the actual Halls of Time.
He would occasionally appear here and there as sort of a soothsayer with some cryptic message and may assist someone in order to change the future (despite his job description.)

Name: Kami

Age: 1000 years old

Gender: Female

Race: Abain

Magic type: Necromancy

Weapon: two thin black dual swords. there doesn't seem to be anything special about them.

Faction: Sanctuary (Leader)

Appearance: She has short, snow white hair and red eyes. Her face is soft and smooth giving her the appearance of a very young person. She is somewhat short being only slightly taller than 152cm. (roughly more than 5 feet) She has a very slender and immature body with flawless fare skin. Her clothing appears gothic being mostly black and dreadful looking. She wears a black cloak with dark grey sigils and runes carved into the stitching. She normally keeps her hood up to keep people from seeing her face but now and then she takes it off again. The cloak stops just beyond her crotch area ending it somewhat torn shreds of cloth. Below that she wears black leather pants and matching boots. Her goal was to look like the grim reaper.

Personality: Kami has been deeply emotionally scared by what happened to her people in the past. she's somewhat immature in the seance that she thinks she is never wrong. Despite how cold and crule she can be towards the rest of the world, Kami has a soft spot in her hear for her fellow necromancers. She has taken the few she could find in and protected them as if they were family. She also has a soft spot for children and always makes an effort not to harm them. She is a very optimistic thinker. she believes she can change the world and make it a better place.

History: Kami was born not long before people started discriminating against the necromancers. At a tender age the girl water her mother, her father and her older brother murderd before her very eyes and her home, the necromantic shrine burned down. Kami's grandmother and former priestes quickly grabbed the book of necromancy and the child and fleed the enemy. They evaded he enemies for nearly a year, in which time Kami's grandmother came up with a plane that would keep Kami from being hunted. The wise old woman created a doll that looked like her granddaughter and bound a soul to it. The doll had gained life. The wise old woman with a tear in her eye kissed her granddaughter's head and left while she slept leaving the book behind for her. When the enemy found the woman they saw here their with the doll they asumed to be her granddaughter. though she faught bravely the former priestess was heavely outnumberd and without the book overpowerd. Heartbroken Kami took the book of necromancy and continued wondering on in the weilderness alone. For the next 500 years Kami did nothing but study and read the necromantic tome in hopes that somehow, someway she could bring her familly back. Her studies unfortunately only showed that it was impossible to completely revive a person. However while studying she learned a long forgotten secret about not only her tome, but the tomes of every other kind of magic as well. Using what she had learned she began trainning, planning and working day and night for the day that she could fight back against the evil that had taken her family away. over the corse of the last 500 years Kami has raised an army of undead and created multiple high powered undead with free will. General Rem the powerful lich, General Dante the paladin slayer. the giant dragon upot which rests her shrine. and a creature known only as "The unholy beast" at the age of 900 Kami entered Limbo in search of souls to use for weapons as well as one very large project she had in mind. on her 1000th birthday she finally managed to pull it off. creating an alternate plane of existence. it was a tiny realm, a pocket dimensions if you will but it server a great purpose. The place was meant to be a Sanctuary for necromancers and their undead. It was appropriately named Seiiki.

Strengths: Kami is very skilled in necromantic magic and has even mastered the book ability for her magic type. She is very enchantment savy and can cast simple enchantments on any item by simply touching it. the more complex enchantments take more time but can still easily be done.

Weaknesses: Kami can not fight well in melee combat. She is a caster and a summoner and an enchanter but not a swords-woman by any means. She still keeps her swords by her just in case.

Hmm mind if I had Aetheron be like a "Friendly Rival" of Kami? Appearing with cryptic messages of sage wisdom (which may or may not coincide with advise from her advisors if she has any...) and sometimes coming in to either stop or aid her?

oh and I could have Aetheron play like this "card" on her the first time they meet. (possibly at sword point)
- Aetheron: You wish to see your parents again? Do you wish to see all that you lost, all that was, be once more that is? *lowers sword* What would you do for such an opportunity?... *sheathes sword and waits for response*
*after response* Of course... *Turns and paces slightly*
(if she is attacking something) your meddling here would lead to that which I cannot allow, thus I must ask you to leave.
(if someone is attacking her) Run. Your fate lies elsewhere. For the sake of the future, run!

Tewi chama, can I add a rare ability, anatomancy (key word is anatomy) it's the ability to manipulate the shape and size of your o own body parts. Book magic: biomancy, the ability to manipulate your healthy being.
