-Occupation: Retired miner and digger
-- Status: Alive
-- Appearance: See image
Eye color: Unknown
Hair color: Unknown
Skin tone: Pale, hasn't had much exposure to sun
Physique: Built and muscular, has been doing hard labour most of his life.
General Hygiene: Visible flesh is dirty. Doesn't have the time or water available for washing.
Notable marks/scars and how they were obtained: His feet are incredibly gnarled and damaged into unsightly bloody scabs, swollen infections and bruises. His feet are also very mishapen, the right foot curled up into a sort of ball and the other almost completely slanted sideways. When he worked in the scalding and rocky mines he was not given any footwear, and in time this took it's tole on his feet. After many workplace injuries on his feet and nonexistant medical care they didn't heal properly, and instead became malformed.
His tongue wound, although not visible is certainly worth mentioning because it greatly affects his speech and ability to eat harder foods because his tongue was damaged as punishment for lying back at home. Now he has half a tongue, not cut in half into a stump at the back of his throat, but vertically into a long dried strip.
-- Demeanor: Emli is an ambitious perfectionist and believes strongly in working hard to reach his goals. Although he is a firm believer in hard work Emli is angry from working his whole life in a mine and saw it as a waste of time. He can't stand laziness and resents people with an easy peaceful life out of jealousy. Whatever Emli does or works for is usually only for himself and he doesn't often feel like helping others because he feels that they should earn it like he did. This doesn't mean he will turn down people who are ill injured ect. Just as Emli won't help others, he won't accept any outside help and insists on doing everything on his own.
However, despite his strong work ethics, ever since he'd surfaced to the world above the ground, his goal isn't simply to work, but to search for the source of a scent he's been looking for, applying his work ethics to achieve this goal. His progress has been incredibly slow, because the world is completely knew to him, he spends a lot of his time struggling to learn it's ways, sometimes with frustration, but usually with a sense of wonder. Over time, he's grown a distrust for surface dwellers with slanty eyes.
.:. History .:.
Emli was born and raised in a secret underground country, predictably inhabitited by mole people. It had remainded secret for thousands of years at a time until events caused by The End compromised it's secrecy. Unexplained earthquakes ravaged the country, and it was only a manner of time until it was discovered by a tyrant who'd change the lives of the people forever, including Emli's.
Up until then the country had been peaceful, relying on their underground location to keep them safe as it had for so long. Without any means to defend themselves it fell easily and the country was transformed into a huge mine, run by slavery. Emli had been one of them, working the mines since his birth until his attention to detail changed things. He noticed an odd aroma, which wasn't too uncommon considering a moleperson's phenomenal sense of smell, except that he was the only one who could smell it. When he mentioned it to his fellow workers, they said there was no smell, and when he was insisted he had his tongue cut as punishment.
It was around then that Emli's boss began to question his usefullness as a worker, and scheduled to have him hanged and discarded. As Fate would have it, there was one final earthquake, and Emli used those moments to escape while the watchful eyes of his superiors were disrtacted by the natural disaster. He escaped and for the first time in his life came to the above world.
.:. Contacts .:.
Omi- Enemy An undead samurai who upon discovering Emli, thought it would be best to capture him and attempt to sell him into slavery.
Renata Aldaine-Stranger A strange woman he bumped into by accident one day, who was kind to him.
Rift Child-Stranger He didn't really understand what was happening at the time, but after recieving a strange invitation to a party, this woman led him through a hallway to fetch him a clean shirt. She was very likeable and attractive.
.:. Battle Information .:.
His speed is greatly hindered because of his feet injuries but his large mole hands and claws guanrantee a powerful punch. Like all molemen Emli has poisonous spit that could paralyze the victim but it is almost completely useless behind his gasmask and it's almost impossible to spit a large enough amount to effect the whole body, only a small area. Emli isn't trained in any fighting techniques and cannot run away very well, but can dig just as fast and preffers to instead quickly dig himself a molehole to hide in.

.:. Talents .:.
Maybe it goes without saying but Emli is an incredibly talented digger, capable of with his hands alone digging large and complicated tunnels.Emli also has an incredibly powerful sense of smell. He can smell changing weather, food, people, and sometimes even emotions or illnesses.
.:. Flaws .:.
A common trait of molepeople is their poor hearing. Naturally Emli cannot hear very well, and sometimes if the noises aren't loud enough he cannot hear at all. Instead of being able to hear his ears can feel the vibrations of noise and movement. Again like most molepeople, Emli has poor vision. His vision is blurred and he cannot see very far or very well, and his eyes can't handle bright light. Because of this Emli can't read.
Flaws that are unique to Emli are his damaged feet and tongue, he also has limited knowledge of the above world.
