This is a copy/paste profile from Wonderments Astray. Vishen was my character on the original Aurmata forum and I cannot pass up the chance to resume playing him here if you will have him once more. Thank you.
Character Name: Vishen Mureil Konten Alueshious Sylveryn
Character Age: Ageless (Often appears 18-25 when in human form.)
Birth Date: Sylveryn was born under the elemental symbol of Water. His birthday is thus in the middle of the Winter season.
Gender: Genderless (I'll primarily use male pronouns when describing and playing Sylveryn unless plot makes it necessary to use a more feminine touch.)
Race: [Former] Deity of Water
Occupation: Wanderer
Physical Appearance
(Wanna' see the picture that inspired Vishen's current looks? Click HERE! That's Gackt by the way...)
Eye Color: Grey-blue (One of the few physical features Vishen keeps the same.)
Hair: Varies (Vishen has the ability to change his hair color on a whim.) Typically he goes with something simple and short, but he has on occasion gone with long locks. He prefers to keep his hair color a deep brown, although he’s not limited to “normal” hair colors and has been seen with a blue tint before.
Height: 5’11’ (This could change too if he really wanted, although generally he likes to be this tall.)
Vishen is best described as being rather soft when in his human form. He keeps a very boyish face and puts many people at ease around him. Although he could change his form to go along with anything, he generally likes to stay with his frame being rather tall and light with his skin being rather pale.
Serpent Form: When he is able to store enough water magics in his system Vishen could choose to forgo his human form for that of something close to his deity form: a great water serpent close to that of a dragon. While he can never obtain his former glory his serpentine form is certainly a thing to behold. Unfortunately neither Earth nor Morphiesx contain the right density of Sylveryn's particular water magics to support his alternate form (although his magics are unhindered). Another world, known to those on Earth as Aurmata, does however, seem to have the potential to support Vishen the Serpent. It has yet to be tested however.
Other: While his serpentine form does not have wings he is able to fly and could very easily make himself appear to have ‘light wings’, which he does frequently in order to make himself look relatively ‘normal’ while flying in his human form... Light wings are essentially particles of water made visible. Vishen’s magics are such that he could bend the light going through the water to fool people into thinking the wings were made of feathers but he has no say as to what color they appear as – and as such they generally look clear or take on the surrounding colors like a dull mirror. The wings serve no purpose other than to look visually appealing, although Vishen will often protest that he cannot (more like will not) fly in his human form without them.
Personality Traits: Vishen is usually described as easy going and carefree and hides his true intelligence and magical prowess behind a veil of smiles and laughter. At times when he is caught off guard he can come off as rather harsh and withdrawn. When put into a position of peril Vishen would prefer to use words over weapons, but when pressured he is a very dangerous enemy, and an even greater ally.
Always one to enjoy life Vishen tries to see the good in people and the world in general. One of his favorite hobbies is just watching people as they go about their day. Although he is rather distant when it comes to actually interacting with others; he tries to keep an emotional distance from people so he doesn't become attached as he does not want harm to come to others by being involved with him. To keep his true self a secret, he maintains an aloof persona; he doesn't quite realize that by behaving like that that people are more likely to want to be around him than not. He loathes fighting and his greatest fears are that people would find out that he was a 'deserter god' and seek to harm him or those he cares the most about.
His goal in life is to gain his full powers back so he can feel complete, although he no longer wants the position of a deity.
Special Talents/Abilities: When enough water energy is stored within his soul Vishen can call forth magical barriers (presumably made of water or ice) that are strong enough to withstand most magical and non-magical weaponry. He is also able to create magical daggers to use as weapons. He has other powers, but those are generally the only ones he ever lets anyone see and even then it is rare. His other powers include pulling water out of air, freezing existing water, and even creating rainstorms.
His powers are significantly weaker in his human form than in his serpentine form.
Items / Artifacts: Vishen Sylveryn is in possession of several unique items that give him some startling abilities. One of which is a relatively normal looking stone from his native river – the stone enables anyone within range to understand Vishen’s speech, as well as enabling him to understand theirs even though he still hears their words in a different language. It seems that while the stone translates his speech for others it merely gives Vishen the knowledge of other languages (almost like when we watch movies in another language with English subtitling).
The other item is a rare artifact obtained from an old world that Sylveryn stayed at... It is an old leather bound book containing information about summon-spirits and other magics. While useless because the world from which it came operated under different linguistic rules, magics, and spirits, it is very much a treasured memento. It was from this book that Vishen helped assist a young magic-user by the name of Roh learn to work her latent abilities (despite having read it herself, she really wasn't the type to get things that way). So when it came time for Vishen to leave the girl's world she gave her book to him.
Weaknesses/Flaws: Vishen has a strange obsession with mouths, be that his own or others. He constantly finds his fingertips on his lips and when given the opportunity he will try to kiss other people. It is unknown why he behaves in this manner and most chalk it up to just another zany antic of his.
Generally invulnerable to most magics and physical ailments (sickness), Vishen grows surprisingly weak when he goes without water for a long amount of time; as such, he tends to drink a lot of it. During rainstorms he enjoys just standing out in it whereas most people would be running for cover.
Note: Contrary to popular belief Vishen is not immortal, although he does not seem to physically age, and he is not immune to sharp, shiny, pointy objects, and can be killed by most conventional means as he does not quick-heal as some mistakingly think upon judging him. It is not presently known how old he is or what his lifespan is. One can only assume however that he will die when his creator kicks the bucket, although this too is pure speculation.

Background/History: Vishen Mureil Konten Alueshious Sylveryn was once a great deity of water and considered one of the most powerful. When the other deities were choosing their loyalties, Vishen remained behind thinking the fighting pointless and thus he was abandoned by both sides and labeled a deserter and traitor. He was cast down to live upon the earth. The other deities intended to strip him of all of his godly powers, but surprisingly Vishen was able to retain a fraction of them.
When the war between the Gods of Vishen's home plain began, Sylveryn's feelings of not truly belonging were at their peak causing his indecision to choose sides, which resulted in him being cast aside... When Vishen found himself nearly powerless and weak he chose to go on a journey to regain what he had lost...
Sample Post: (Taken from: This RP.)
Vishen Sylveryn awoke to his head aching terribly. He gingerly reached up a slender hand and touched the back of his head. Beneath his short brown locks was a horrible lump...at least it didn't feel like any blood had shed... The last thing he remembered was some stranger walking up behind him and hitting him with some blunt object, panicked he transported himself to a new world instinctively...
He sat up stiffly and took in his surroundings. It was familiar to him, a lush forest, although the trees were different somehow, but he couldn't make out why. They seemed normal...thick branched with dark green, leaves deep brown. Most were tall and almost entirely covered the sky. Only a thin green light managed to filter down from above. It must be day or this place would clearly get no light at all.
After sitting a moment and letting his headache subside Vishen slowly got to his feet. He stood tall and scanned the forest, but all was quiet. Either he'd just arrived not moments ago and frightened away every creature, or something much more sinister was going on. He'd never heard such quiet in all his life... He shut his watery grey eyes in hopes of getting a better sense of this strange place.
"Nothing..." He thought after a long span of silence, "No feeling at all... It's as if everything is dead." Vishen took a few cautious steps toward a tree closest to him and reached out to it. He expected to feel the rough bark beneath his fingertips, but he got a sudden surprise... "It's not real," he passed his hand through the tree several times, "How is this possible... Have I died?" It was then he realized what was so strange about the quiet forest. It carried no smell - it was completely sterile.
