About // Harque Ebalon

[selenokinesis]

Harque Ebalon Age 18 (at time of death) Gender Male Height 5'11" Build Curvy Species Human First Impressions Harque is a young, tall, and overall shy man who seems to prefer the comfort of books over people. He's as socially oblivious as he is deeply paranoid; while he holds himself high with proper posture and respectful speech, he doesn't know how to act around people in general. His social obliviousness comes from a lack of being exposed to people for his entire life. He might have a small case of foot-in-mouth syndrome sometimes. As for his paranoia, it's often well-hidden, but he might slip up sometimes and say something deeply worrying. He is a sweet, caring young man despite this, who will go out of his way to help others. Though he laments being unable to do a certain type of magic that his family was born with the ability to do, he works very hard to find other ways to make himself useful. It seems as though "making himself useful" is a constant with him; who is he if he's not healing your injuries, or trying to make food, or trying to be the best in every aspect? Who will love him if he isn't perfect? He speaks often of his little brother, who he loves very much and is quite protective over. Harque seems happiest when he's telling people about his brother and only his brother; his face will fall if he speaks about his parents and extended family. If he went through something terrible, however, he isn't outwardly sharing that. Not immediately. Info Harque Ebalon was the oldest of the Ebalon Family and set on the path to become "Moon Master", a unique title to basically say he is one of the people who would guard over the world at large with the other elemental El Masters, overseeing the domain of moon magic. As he is unable to do half the magic required, his candidacy was called into question, and in his studies he managed to discover a way to manipulate the flow of time. This would, theoretically, give him a way to regain his candidacy... ...if he hadn't been assassinated, that is. The Ebalon Family had long worked with a cult known as Henir's Order, who at first were sort of just "there", though they had vested interest in destroying the world because Cult Reasons. When Harque discovered time magic, Henir's Order directly told him to give them his research Or Else. Harque refused, and so his assassination was staged as he and his little brother tried to escape their family home. Luckily, his brother Noah survived and would go on to start a vengeance crusade against the Order. This war path his brother is on is doubled-down by the fact that Harque's appearance has been stolen by a shapeshifter named Dantalion, who pretended to be him for 10 years at least, and cast the Ebalon name into a much darker light. As a note, Harque's family was highly abusive before his death and did not care about him after; this abuse mostly included locking Harque into a room for 12 hours a day and forcing him to study day in and day out so that he would be a viable candidate for Moon Master, which typically brings a family a lot of prestige. Harque had minimal exposure to other people growing up, and was even kept away from his own younger brother most of the time. Topics of abuse can and will come up with him; trigger warnings will be used appropriately, but fully opting out of this or interacting with Harque in general should be done on his permissions page. Abilities & Inventory MOON MAGIC: The power of the moon has two aspects, the light and the dark. The light is responsible for the areas of healing and protection; the dark is the more violent aspect that's mostly used to harm. The light aspect also has a freezing effect to it if needed, shown by other moon magic users in-game. Harque's magic is often casted via sigil, and he can only perform the light aspect, not the dark, meaning he is proficient in healing and basically nothing else. TIME MAGIC: Having sort of accidentally discovered how to manipulate the flow of time, Harque is somewhat of an expert in this field despite his short life. He can also enchant objects with it, seen when he enchants a Moonstone with the power to turn back time if certain parameters are met first. Any other usages of his time magic haven't been shown, but it's safe to assume if he can make time jump backwards, he can likely make it jump forwards or stop it completely. SPELLBOOK & STAFF: His spellbook and staff are able to be summoned to his side at will. permissions code credit
