About
Basic Information Full Name: Elias Veyne Age: 29 Gender: Male Species: Human Occupation: Relic Hunter Affiliation: Independent Status: Active Experience: 6 years Confirmed Relics: 4 Overview Body: An adult man with a tall, broad, and athletic build, wide shoulders, and a solid physical frame. He has thick, slightly messy dark brown hair, light-colored eyes, and a short beard that gives him a mature, weathered appearance. Elias Veyne is a Relic Hunter who specializes in reconnaissance, investigation, and information gathering rather than direct combat. Unlike Hunters who seek powerful Relics for their destructive potential, Elias is primarily interested in understanding what a Relic does, why it exists, and how it interacts with the world around it. He is particularly skilled at exploring unfamiliar dimensions and gathering information before other Hunters arrive. Elias is not physically imposing and would lose a direct confrontation against many experienced Hunters, but his ability to remain unnoticed and understand situations makes him extremely difficult to catch off guard. He has a habit of documenting everything he encounters in small handwritten notebooks. Personality Elias is quiet, curious, patient, and unusually attentive. He is not socially awkward, but he tends to observe people before speaking. He remembers small details about conversations and often notices things that others overlook. He is fascinated by strange phenomena and can become genuinely excited when encountering something he has never seen before. Unlike Victor, Elias sometimes allows his curiosity to override his caution. He isn't reckless in the traditional sense; rather, he has a tendency to think: "I should probably leave this alone." ...and then investigate it anyway. Elias has a very dry sense of humor and rarely raises his voice. Even when something surprises him, his reaction is usually a quiet: "...That's interesting." He dislikes unnecessary violence and considers killing an inefficient way of solving most problems. Habits Elias constantly takes notes. He carries several small notebooks containing: Relic observations Creature behavior Dimensional phenomena Maps Strange symbols Names of people he encounters Potential explanations for supernatural events He also has a habit of staring at objects for several seconds before touching them, as though expecting them to reveal something simply by being observed. When reading, he occasionally mutters his thoughts aloud without realizing it. Innate Magic — Perception Imprint Elias possesses an unusual magical ability called Perception Imprint. By touching an object, Elias can perceive a limited amount of information about its recent history. He does not literally see the past. Instead, his mind receives fragmented sensory impressions associated with the object. He might perceive: A sound. A brief image. A smell. A sensation. A person's emotional state. A movement. A fragment of spoken words. The information appears in no particular order. The older the event, the weaker and less reliable the impression becomes. Elias therefore has to interpret the fragments himself. The ability cannot tell him objective truth. If someone was frightened, for example, Elias may perceive the sensation of fear without knowing what caused it. This makes his ability extremely useful for investigations but unreliable as an absolute source of information. Relics Elias possesses only four confirmed Relics. He deliberately keeps his collection small because he believes carrying too many Relics creates unnecessary complications. 1. Glass Eye A small artificial eye that can be placed against surfaces. Once activated, it allows Elias to see through the material it is touching. The thicker the material, the more difficult it becomes to see through. It cannot see through living organisms. Elias primarily uses it for reconnaissance, searching rooms, examining walls, and detecting hidden spaces. 2. Whispering Coin A small metallic coin capable of recording sound. The coin automatically records everything audible around it while activated. Elias can later replay the recording simply by holding it. The coin can also reproduce recordings remotely if Elias has previously marked another location with one of his coins. He commonly leaves them behind while exploring dangerous areas. 3. Thread of Return A thin silver thread that connects Elias to a location he has previously designated. Once attached, the thread allows him to determine the direction of that location regardless of how far away he travels. It does not allow teleportation. Its purpose is simply to prevent Elias from becoming completely lost while exploring unfamiliar environments. The thread is especially useful inside confusing structures, caves, or dimensional anomalies where normal navigation becomes unreliable. 4. Pale Lantern A small lantern that produces light capable of revealing supernatural phenomena. It can illuminate things that ordinary light cannot properly reveal, such as: Invisible markings. Magical traces. Residual energy. Hidden symbols. Certain invisible creatures. Distortions caused by Relics. The lantern does not reveal everything supernatural. Instead, it makes abnormalities easier for Elias to perceive and investigate. Equipment Elias carries: Several notebooks Mechanical pencils Small measuring instruments Rope Flashlight Medical supplies Respirator Camera Several Whispering Coins Compact camping equipment He prefers lightweight equipment because his job requires constant movement. Combat Style Elias avoids direct combat whenever possible. If forced to fight, he relies on: Positioning Ambushes Environmental manipulation Information Distraction Escape He rarely attempts to overpower an opponent. Instead, Elias tries to understand how they behave and exploit their weaknesses. His Perception Imprint is particularly useful after encountering an enemy's equipment or environment, allowing him to gather clues about what happened before he arrived. Strengths Exceptional observation skills Excellent investigator Patient and analytical Highly knowledgeable about Relics Excellent reconnaissance Difficult to surprise Strong dimensional exploration skills Excellent at gathering information Remains calm under pressure Weaknesses Poor physical strength compared with dedicated combatants Limited offensive capabilities Perception Imprint can produce incomplete or misleading information Curiosity can occasionally override his better judgment Relies heavily on preparation and information Vulnerable when forced into prolonged direct combat
