Character Appearance
As traditional for one of his race, he has a pale, smooth complexion. Uncommon, however, for one of his race, his hair is a deep, black color. The trademark silver coloring is instead visible in his eyes, which shine at night, in the presence of moonlight. This is the only tip-off that he is inhuman - his appearance is so human-like, one wouldn't know the difference until they saw those eyes.
His hair is short in the back, medium-long in the front, often falling in strands across his face. He is almost always wearing a Black pea coat, slim black slacks, and black shoes as well. He also wears a scarf, colored alternately in deep blue and greens.
He is very thin, and doesn't look to possess a high affinity for physical strength, which isn't totally untrue. His arms and upper-body are lacking in the muscle department. His legs are somewhat more strongly built, but still average at best. They're usually only sufficient in helping him run (usually away).
Special Power/Ability
Telekinesis; Endless can move objects and himself with his mind. However, there are vast set of limitations attached, though all the many weaknesses of the power boil down to Electromagnetic Disturbances, which cause interference in his ability.
Personality
Endless is a very emotionally distant person, and is also emotionally complex. His mood seems to rapidly alter from one point to another, to the point where he worries the people he meets rather often.
He is extremely self-conscious about himself, and worries about what other people think of him when he is pressed into awkward situations. This is usually when it concerns someone with whom he is either attracted to, or is wishing to become friends with.
In truth, he is in fact very friendly by nature, and if it weren't for the layers of issues piled onto his head, he would probably be a charismatic, popular individual. But he is slow to trust, slower to open up, and quick to emotional frustration.
He's the type of person who would be worried about someone coming along and stealing away his new best friend. He's the type that thinks he should always put on a show for someone to keep them impressed, so that they'll stay with him.
He's the type of person who, despite everything wrong with him, thinks that he shouldn't be underestimated or belittled (he does that to HIMSELF enough, thank you!), and tends to reacted unpredictably violently towards anyone who does so.
He's very touchy with his belongings, especially the scarf he wears, as it is the only memento he has of his dead mother, and a reminder of his once-living family.
He has a soft spot for animals, and is also soft on people who look to be in trouble. Regardless of his view of them, he has a bad tendency to help someone out if they are in a jam.
This of course, does not apply to those he has deemed as enemies.
He's a psychiatrist's goldmine, and has a lot of growing to do before he can call himself a fully functioning being.
Sexual Orientation: Homosexual
Likes: Likes: Moonlight, compassionate people, soft things, cute things (an especially soft spot for cats), sweet foods, traveling.
Dislikes: Dislikes: "Darkness Races", intolerance (ironic, eh?), unnecessary violence, cruelty, inconsideration.
History
Endless was born and briefly raised in Artavia by his wealthy mother and father, both of whom were renowned inventors, Roark Belus Laeretti and Alexandria Laeretti. Their inventions drastically improved the quality of life in Artavia, and generally were a great help to all of Setsuwa.
He was always alienated by the other young Crescents living in his "town", due to his odd hair color and less Crescent-like appearance, though more variations of Crescent hair-color have since become more common. He also lacked a lot of the grace most of his race seemed capable of, which was something else he was teased for - he was always a clumsy individual. They even teased him on his name, which his mother had given to him out of a "Stroke of Inspiration". This led to his further feeling alienated, since his name was different compared to the names of the rest of his family, all of whom had classier sounding names (such as Lydia, or Cecilia).
All of this led to one of his primary dislikes, at a very young age: intolerance. He didn't understand why he should be treated differently just because he looked differently or acted differently. His parents always reassured him, however. They always told him that he was different because eccentricity ran in the family, and pointed out that while they themselves were different, they had become successful. This was all when he was just five years old, as he was always an intelligent child.
He had an older brother by the name of Vincent, and he always looked out for Endless in their youth. When he was around, other Crescents tended to leave Endless alone due to the serious and intense air Vincent possessed. He always told Endless that the discrimination against him was an injustice, and a travesty. Endless idolized him, especially since Vincent favored Endless over their other two siblings, as they were both Crescents; their father was an Ecstatician, and Endless' two sisters had inherited this. Vincent, like Endless, had black hair, though he wasn't ever picked on for it.
His mother later informed him that she and Vincent wouldn't always be around to comfort him, since he would eventually have to strike out on his own someday. So she knit him the scarf he habitually wears as a memento for him, for whenever that day came.
It came much sooner than expected. When he was Six years old, a group of bandits comprised of Dark races, such as Demons, Hollows, and Keramun, being led by a smaller group of Lamini, raided the area he was living in, killing many of the residents there. Their primary objective was his parents. The Lamini woman heading the raid had been asked to take them out and obtain some of their invention plans. Her patron was apparently someone who felt that the Laerettis were getting too much influence, and decided they needed to be taken out before that influence grew any further.
Endless was grabbed by some of the Demons in the raid and was thrown around, beaten and battered for their amusement, but was snatched away by his mother, who had come to his rescue with a powerful spell, and had then hidden him away to protect him. Unfortunately, this caused him to loose contact with any of his family that could still be alive, as by the time he felt it was safe to come out of the small safety space his mother had placed him in, the large home was deserted, and only the dead bodies of civilians remained.
Because of this incident, he has harbored distrust, fear and a slight hatred for members of Dark-Oriented races, even the ones that seem to mean no harm. This is especially the case with Demons and Lamini.
Having nowhere to go, he stayed in his home for a month, never leaving and eating what food was left before he was discovered by some agents who had come to investigate the slaughter of the Area, and was taken into protective care. He fled soon afterward, not wanting to be around anyone, and went all the way back to his home, finding his scarf and running away.
After sneaking out of Artavia on a transport vessel, he arrived in Mystara's General District, and lived a few years doing odd jobs for an old woman he met and stayed with. It was around this time that he began to discover his telekinetic abilities, and also their weakness for things with a high level of air current disruption, such as large bodies of electron-potent water, or a heavy lightning storm.
When he had obtained enough money, he bid the woman good-bye and traveled to Liesdro, where he lived up until age sixteen.
He has lived the life of a traveler ever since, never staying in one place.

Roleplay Example:
He sat silently, staring into his cup as though it held all the world's answers. Wy was he even drinking this? He hates coffee. especially black coffee. But it didn't seem to register that it tasted like death to him when he had ordered it, instead being content to just watch the reflection of his eyes in the liquid as they stared openly back. There was something calming about it. He remembered. One year ago today, he was in this very cafe. One year ago today, he had just left Liesdro to begin his life as a traveler. One year ago today, he said goodbye to his then only friend, who had wished him a happy birthday, and watched as he boarded the ship out.
Happy birthday to you. He stared at his past through the liquid, bewildered at how much had happened. How many people he had met, how many people he had hated, all the close calls, all the new friends, all the old ones. And now, what was most significant was that his first, and for a while only friend, now hated him. He had heard as much from his new best friend. The words still sounded funny to him. Best friend. To think that someone like him could actually have someone whom he considered as such. His first friend hated him. And the one after her affections was now his new best friend.
This was far from the first time that the Deities had made Endless Laeretti the star of their little puppet show for entertainment.
To add to that, he was hated by several people now. Including a warlord, a famous man (whom he hadn't known was famous at the time), a frightening demon, and several other people endless couldn't be bothered to remember. Oh, and let's not forget Lord Markus Woodrow, who probably had him on the wanted list by now.
Life sure as hell was peachy for the Crescent right now. And so he marveled at how he could feel so calm in light of these circumstances. Just one year, and yet so much... However strangely optimistic it was, Endless couldn't bring himself to hate his life. For whatever reason, he still felt like he wanted to go on. Odd, considering that someone with as many issues as him should be dark as all hell. But no. He had the drive to continue. and hey, you win some and you lose some, right?
He took one more look at his reflected eyes in his drink, before tipping up his mug and taking a big gulp. Setting it down with a resounding clank, he nodded. "Happy birthday to me."
