Faction: Virtue

Element: Ice
Summon:
Time's summons are three ravens, each with a specific defining feature. Pera (past) is black with a pure white spot on her beak, Paron (present) is a lighter black with no spots or marks on him, and Tychi (future) is a deep black with a pure white spot on his tail. They are always somewhere around Time and can communicate with him through thought and voice (which everyone can understand). Pera is the causious type, always dreaming about things long past in Time's life. Paron is always living in the moment, enjoying and inspecting his surroundings and learning new things. Tychi on the other hand is also cautious, but always mindful of oppertunities that present themselves in any situation.Power:
Time's power is found in his fingers and the tip of his scythe. By making a shape in the air, big or small, rectangle or square, circle or oval, he can open a portal to another time frame. Depending on the size he creates this can be used to simply look into the another time like looking into a mirror, or stepping into another time like a doorway. While he is in the past or the future, he is a phantom, no one sees him, and no one can interact with him whatsoever.Weapon:
Time carries with him a scythe. It has strange emblems embedded in its handle, and ornaments hanging off of it. The scythe is a deep red colour, and stands a good 6 and half feet in the air. Time also carries with him an hour-glass made of solid metal with sand inside. It is made to represent life itself, and no matter how long you sit and watch it, the sand at the top never seems to run out. It is ornate with twisting metals, colours of various origins, and houses four different little sculptures on its sides. One is of an angel of life, one of a demon of death, another of a young child, and the last an elderly person. Time has been known to use this as a weapon in battle, but not very often, as it is very old like him.Appearance:
Time is very light weight, and is only about 5'4" in height. His skin colour is that of an old man, rusted with long years of age. Though he is very old (his actual age is unknown except to him), he has still maintained some forms of physical strength, and his mental ability has not been damaged by the possible centuries he’s been alive. He walks with a hunch and is slow moving, but he need not do this persay. He does have the energy to move better, but why waste it? No need to rush time along.History:
Time's hair is short and grey, not yet white. He has also grown a long beard that comes down to the bottom of his neck.
Time's eyes are an oddly colour. They are piercing blue, something very odd for someone so old. Over the years, all has changed but his eyes, which retain the youth and vibrancy he once had. You could almost say that his eyes reflect his name. They are neutral to the ailments of life.
Time has no defining markings.
Time has few items in his wardrobe. He wears a long robe that reaches from the hood that sometimes covers his head to the ground. It is a worn dark grey colour and covers his whole body. Other times, Time has been seen in nothing but long forest green pants and no shirt, the weather and temperature having no effect on his bare body.
Time took many names during his very long life, but the name he was given at birth was Perhacules. He was a philosopher of the ancient Greece, renowned for his knowledge of the concepts of time and space. He lived in Athens for a good part of his life, but soon after the fall to Rome made the long trek to Macedonia. There, he was taught how to fight as well as placed in a house of knowledge to teach others his “theories” (which they took as truth). But for some reason, Perhacules did not age like all the rest of his peers around him. He lived through some very hard times, always learning and teaching as he went through the ages. Some of his young students would learn from him, then, finishing their training, would go out into the world, and would come back as old men, and Perhacules would not have grown a year. This confused him, and caused almost an obsession in him with the discoveries of time and why this could be happening, scientifically of course. And after many many years, he came to be here, under the Drifters, seeing no reason to take sides between a feud that would not last, just as none of the others he'd witnessed did. When the time came, his knowledege might be of use to one side or the other, but it didn't really matter to him.Behaviour:
Time is very neutral in most situations. He, suggested by his name, does not judge someone to be good or evil, nice or mean. He simply believes that whatever happens will happen, and that only time can tell what the end result will be. All problems, all happiness, all sadness, all joys, all kingdoms, all freedoms, all treachery and betrayals, they all disappear eventually.
and Time seems like a pretty darn neutral character to me.
