Appearance
The most obvious feature of Accipiter, being a man of elonian heritage, would be his extremly pale skin. The young man suffers from Albinism, which leads to him mostly being met with most of his body covered in clothing. His hair is similiarly pale, a light shade of blonde, while his eyes aremostly blue, with a vew red veins being more prominent than in a normal person’s eye. Accipiter is relatively small in statue, his expression mostly neutral, giving a monotone, cold impression to unknowing people. As for his clothing, being relatively frail and small, he would prefer cloth over steel armor, a habit of his former profession, maybe. He can mostly be seen with relatively few heavy armor pieces on his body, if at all. The colors of said clothes would mostly be white and gold, the colors of his family. His skin would benear perfect, no scratches nor scars branding it, neither would he bear any tattoos or other decoration that would stand out.

Personality
Accipiter keeps his true thoughts on people or events mostly hidden behind a polite face and a neutral expression, hardened by years of living in the nobility. That does not mean he has secrets and dark plots, quite the opposite. Accipiter wishes for nothing more than peace and order in both Elona and Kryta. He seeks to bring justice to a country distorted by chaos, and thus, abhores crimes of any sort, and would rather risk his life than commit any illegal act. Thus, when it comes to judging certain people, he can come off as cruel and cold-hearted, simply by seeing the flaws of people and weighing them stronger than most would. Adding to that image, Accipiter, despite being a relatively young lord, thinks very highly of tradition and to respect older and more experienced people, a way of thinking that would normally be related to older members of their social status.
However, behind that facade of an apathic young lord, Accipiter does have his caring sides, as little as he shows them. And while he would never bend or break the law to help the few close friends and family he has, he would not be stopped to do anything in his power to at least support them.

Philosophy
„May Kormir enlighten you.“
Accipiter is a strong believer of the Six Gods, especially concerning the godessess Lyssa and Kormir. While the former blessed him, since he was a twin, he always felt more drawn to Kormir and her aspects of Truth and Wisdom. Even Balthazar’s sudden appearance and action did not change his trust in the Gods.

„Second chances, not third.“
He will not be easy on people that betray or anger him, but give them a second chance at redemption if the matter between them can be settled. Equally, he’ll make sure that there will be no option for a third chance, if they should disappoint him for the second time.

„Blood is thicker than water.“
Accipiter will always choose his family over any other relationship, be it friend or lover, holding his bond withs them in higher regard to anyone else.

„Tradition is his heirloom.“

Combat
Equipment
Accipiter, being a revenant, wears heavy armor. However, due to his small and weak statue, he only wears a heavy chestplate and leg-protection, and leaves shoulders, gauntlets and mostly headgear off. The rest of his body is only lightly armored, a habit from his days as Elementalist.

Weapons
Since young days, Accipiter has been trained in fighting with polearms, both staffs and spears. As Elementalist, the former was more important for him, but with his transofrmation to a revenant, he had to get used to using his staff as a meelee weapon. As most weapons of his house, Accipiter’s staff, a relic of his ancestor, is infused with the souls of said ancestor and his wife. They can be summoned at will, and work similiar to the illusions of a mesmer or the minion fo a necromancer, attacking only on command. Accipiter also owns a single, normal sword he relies on, should his staff be unavailable.

Magic
Accipiter grew up and trained as an Elementalist, his strongest element being air.
That is, until he gave that power up for the less well-known mist-powers and commune with the spirits from beyond. In the years since he gained this sort of magic, he almost never used it, let alone train it properly. For him, it always worked as a ‘switch’ of sorts: let the spirits, or rather, their echoes, in, let them take control of his body for a moment, then turn the switch back, and force them out. There was never an in-between, never a ‘selfish’ use of powers that were not his. Therefore, while he was certainly powerful, his magic only lasted shortly, and left him extremly exhausted after.
Accipiter communes with two spirits in particular:
Shiro Tagachi, the canthan assassin, and without a doubt the being that gives him the most headaches, both metaphorically and literally. A force to be reckoned with, Accipiter rarely forms this spirit voluntarily due to his unpredictable ferocity. That does mean, however, that should one find him surrounded by green storms, he is rather agitated.
Aches, an elonian paragon who supported Turai Ossa in his fight against Palawa Joko, and incidentally, was the founder of his lineage. When Accipiter channels his ancestor, he summons three Sunspear spirits next to him, in a similiar fashion in which Mesmers utilize their illusions. The rest of Aches’ power concentrates on commanding this small group and achieve whatever the goal is, wether it is defense or attack.
Losing the mist-powers, Accipiter returns to his training as an Elementalist, and while his steps are small due to little time to properly train, he does feel his old knowledge coming back to him bit by bit.

Combatstyle
Accipiter rarely fights to begin with, he rather talks conflicts out. Sadly, not all fights end with an exchange of words, most start with them. Accipiter has grown more accustomed to general mist-stepping and with his current stay in Elona, he relies more on his sword than his staff (which he uses more as a spear). He uses his spirits rather rarely in the current location, one of them requiring an intense amount of concentration to tame, the other instantly branding him as an enemy to everyone under Palawa Joko.
As an elementalist, Acci has not many combat-capabilities, thous he has been known for a combination of earth to stall out the enemy and control their movement and air to call forth winds and lightning upon his opponent. Where some elementalists go for as much damage in the largest area possible, Accipiter is rather precise when it comes to firing his spells, possibly because of his limits.
