Character Name: Eiltin(EL-teen)
Character LJ (if applicable):
Physical description (face, build, weight): Eiltin is 6’ 4” feet tall and 410lbs. He is viewed as being small by most Danaan warriors since they are typically over 7 feet tall. He has blue tattoos on his body and on his face. Eiltin has blue eyes and black hair.
Age: 24
Birthday: May 11
PB: (If using one.) Stephen Amell
Abilities: Can speak the Celtic Family of languages and English
Highly trained Warrior- He is trained by Scathach in martial arts that take advantage of his speed and agility and he is exceptionally talented with a spear and can use other Celtic weapons effectively.
Superhuman strength – While he does have it compared to the other Celtics he is very weak and only able to lift roughly 3 tons.
Superhuman Speed- His speed is greater than most gods. When moving at near his top speeds it is difficult for most beings to even see him. The upper limits of his speed are unknown but are assumed to be lower than his fathers. He needs to work up to his higher speeds and cannot just immediately go to them.
Superhuman Stamina- His Stamina is far beyond that of a normal human though well below normal for a Celtic god.
Superhuman Durability- Eiltin's body is much tougher and more resistant to physical injury than the body of a human being. His joints, muscles, and skin are also particularly well adapted to sustain the intense rigors of running at tremendous velocities without suffering wear and tear. Eiltin's sensory output is also specially developed for the rigors of moving at great velocities, enabling him to see, hear, and smell normally.
Superhumanly Dense Tissue: Eiltin's skin, muscle, and bone tissues have about 2 times the density as the same tissue in the body of a human being as opposed to the 3 times in full blooded member of the Tuatha de Danann. This contributes, at least somewhat, to Eiltin's weight and superhuman strength.
Superhuman Agility: Eiltin's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete.
Superhuman Reflexes: Eiltin's reflexes are similarly enhanced and are superior to those of the finest human athlete, and most other gods for that matter. Eiltin's reflexes are practically instantaneous and enable him to react while moving at high velocities, such as jumping or ducking or making turns just as a human does while running.
Regenerative Healing Factor: Despite his body's great resistance to injury, Eiltin can still be hurt. Like all other Celtic gods, Eiltin's accelerated metabolism and the mystical energies of his godly life force enable him to rapidly heal damaged bodily tissues much faster and more extensively than a human is capable of but much slower than most Celtic gods. He can't, however, regenerate missing limbs or organs, at least not without the aid of powerful and outside mystical forces. His body is immune, however, to all known Earthly diseases and infections.
Druidic Magic: Eiltin has basic knowledge of Celtic Magic like all the Tuatha de Danann do and can use it make mild agustments to his appearance, Celtic symbology though only to draw minor signs of protection, and open up a way to the Otherworld.
Bardic Training- Eiltin's voice has a mesmerizing quality too it similar to a bards but less well trained. He can use it to invoke emotions in people and raise or lower morale in battle. Due to a little training from his father he is a very good storyteller with knowledge of most of the tales and songs of the Tir na nOg lands.
Wind Affinity- Eiltin has connection to the winds due to his potential as a wind god. This manifests in the occasional helpful phantom wind or in extremely rare circumstances windstorms. He has no control over this and never will unless he ever gains full godhood, though it does seem to be connected to his emotions in someway. If he ever worked to learn more druid magic he would have an easier time with magic related to the winds. This connection to the winds is also probably the reason behind his super speed.
Due to his nature as a demi-god Eiltin can spend an unlimited amount of time on earth without his powers weakening or dying as would happen to a Celtic God without a human host.
Weaknesses and flaws: Eiltin is technically a mortal though he can live longer he will die but in death he has a chance of being apotheosis to a full-fledged Celtic God. He also has the other weakness of the Celtic gods
Since much of his godly energies are devoted to his speed he is much weaker and heals slowers that the average Celtic God or Demi-God
Character location/Home: Tir na nOg

Backstory: Born of a romantic tryst between Caber and a Mortal Woman on a trip to earth with Leir, Eiltin was born a demi-god who was not very strong and lacked the greatly enhanced regenerative abilities that most Celtic Gods and demi Gods possess which made him be viewed as lesser and was not treated well by most of the Tuatha da Danaan. Since he did not have a mother to help raise him it was decided that he needed a foster-mother to help raise him and Brigid volunteered to take that role. Eiltin began walking at an early age and now long after that he was running at speeds that most gods could not catch him much to his father’s delight. Even so speed was not something prized among the Celts especially without strength or the toughness.
When he was five Caber started looking for someone to train his son how to fight and other skill he might need though had great difficulty doing so since most didn’t want to try him given his disadvantages. It got to the point that Caber would have trained Eiltin if not for the taboo about how only woman may train men and vice versa. However Brigid thought of Scathach who had trained many mortal warriors though had not had much chance to do so in recent years. However one thing that Caber did make sure he taught Eiltin was the basics of the bardic arts his form of some father son bonding
Eiltin trained very hard with Scathach trying to prove his worth and she saw something in him that she liked. When he was seven she took him to pick out a Celtic War Hound (Cú Faoil) pup and he quickly bounded with the runt of the litter. He named the dog, Ruarc, and Eiltin and the dog were rarely ever apart. As he trained more and more with Scathach it became apparent that he was best with the spear and they focused on combining that skill with his speed to make up for his lack of strength and toughness.
After he had finished his training with Scathach his Foster Mother Brigid gave him an enchanted spear, Sleg Tapa, which she had made herself. The spear is a very powerful weapon though much of it power remains locked until Eiltin can earn access to those powers and currently only shows the fact that the spear is all but indestructible and can piece through all but the most powerful of armors when thrown at his top speed. While he had become a truly skilled warrior Eiltin had trouble getting people to give him respect especially among the other warriors. During a joint Fomorian and Fir Bolg attack he proved himself in battle showing himself to be just as skilled or better than many of the warriors around his age. Very quickly some of the gods who used to not even consider him a real warrior now saw the possibilities he could present them.
Eiltin spent sometime with the Defenders helping them out and creating some more bonds between the Tuatha de Danaan and earth and some of the other pantheons interacting with earth. During that time he began a relationship with Grace Danvers during some of her visits to see her father and help out the Defenders. But after some time he was called back to Tir na nOg to help deal with some Fomorian uprisings that had began to occur again.
