CH. I – Painting a Portrait
Tall for an Essyrni and well built, Atalier has a deep olive skin, covering rough but rugged features, hair long but wavy, and curling at the ends.  His eyes are a deep reddish brown, almost as dark as his hair and accented with flecks of gold.  Some scars are across his form, his chest, arms and back.

He often wears travelers rags, simple clothing, layered yet light enough to withstand the devastating sandstorms of the desert.  He wears a poncho, shorter in the front than in the back with bandages across his forearms, a hood and face-mask for protection.

+ NOTABLE MARKS +

CH II – Mental Make-up
Dunno! Figuring it out as I go.

+ FAITH +
Has a tempestuous relationship with anything regarding the Essyrni religion.  While he acknowledges the possibility of their existence, he doesn't put more trust in anything religious.  It's just a matter of selling salvation.

+ HABITS +
Smokes and drinks during down time.  Other vices may include dabbling in dark magics.  He seeks to learn more about magic, as a way to learn more about his abilities, and how to control it.

CH III – Social

+ RELATIONSHIPS +
Idina Talshar, Mother, Alive, whereabouts unknown
Fhaluada Talshar, Father, Deceased.
Tal-uan Talshar, Eldest Brother, Deceased.

CH IV – Abilities / Skills
+ SAND MAGE +
The result of a djinn's curse, he was given the ability to control and manipulate the very earth at his feet. Atalier can turn something as innocuous as sand into a devastating weapon.  He can solidify them into material weapons, or dissipate his own form into flowing sand, and materialize elsewhere.  Single grains of sand can be turned into devastating storms, tearing apart stone and steel, and can suffocate and vanish.    He can absorb a blow, or make his body dense to withstand it.

It is not a power he can always control.  When enraged, his eyes glow, and he loses nearly all sense of himself, powers growing exponentially.  He does not age as others do, his soul belonging to the djinn that cursed him.

CH V – Gear / Equipment
Nothing more than the clothes on his back, mainly.

CH VI – Reflections of the Past
-Talshar family of merchant princes rose to prominence from the wishes granted by a djinn.
-The Djinn eventually turned the tables on their luck, and their fortune turned to bad luck.  They lost their territories, property in war, family in sickness.
-Bad dealings made many of Fhaluada's friends turn against him, forming an alliance to bring the end of him.
-Fhaluada Talshar was betrayed and torn to pieces by four horses, Tal-uan was beheaded and Idina was sold into slavery.
-Atalier escaped with his life, if barely by the forces that left his house in shambles.  The Talshar's properties were overtaken by a man his father once called his friend.

And more stuff as soon as I think of it!
