Elton walked down the path casually, as if he was searching for something, but didn't need to pay much attention to it. He casually kicked stones with his bare bony feet wrapped up in some Leather Boots he traded recently at the neighbouring town's mercient. Birds were muttering among themselves casually, as if today was a good day. Draping his Cyan Cape behind his back and his cyan-gold cloak covering his skeleton from the above. Not that he minded the sun at all. He actually liked the sun. It didn't burn him like it did other undead creatures. He could now look as those fools wound hide under trees and jump in streams to escape the sun. As where Elton didn't need to evade the enemy, as the enemy was his friend. He was walking down a fall forest path, not minding the casual rabbit or cow that walked along. He even saw a human walking through the forest. He went and talked to him. Obviously he didn't show himself to the human, as that would have not been good. This particular human seemed to have a Bow, with some kind of Power enchant on it.
Elton pulled out his Bow, which he labeled "The Vengeful Peacemaker" as that was the username of the person he got it off of. Although, Elton would never kill a human. He had no reason too. He has only killed 3 humans during his skeleton times and that was because they had Iron swords rushing towards him. The_Vengeful_Peacemaker though, this human was different. He had a book on him, which Elton keeps with him just in case he wants to review it anytime. Probably one of the nicest humans he could have found... obviously he was dead... but still, it counts. The only thing Elton knew was that either Peacemaker didn't come back for his stuff because he didn't want/need it, or that he never respawned... Sad to think of it that way, that someone couldn't respawn, especially in a world where it is Mob vs. Mob. Mob vs. Man. Man vs. Man. You name it. Elton was one who would try to resolve things if that ever went to the case.
Elton's path that he was walking on went from Stone Brick to Stone to Cobblestone to Gravel. He could feel himself slipping away from the town and towards more of the unknown, the void some people call it outside the walls. True adventurers though know that this isn't any sort of void that anyone would think that it would be. There is only 1 void, but dare anyone go down there will not come back out. The void is an empty place, full of literally nothing. You fall for miles and miles, until you just lose yourself in the emptiness and respawn in your bed, just as normal, while your other body falls continuously through the void, never reaching an end, probably just dissolving into nothing after a while. Elton almost went there once. Some hackers were playing around and broke a hole through the bedrock and discovered what no one has ever seen... pure, empty, inky, blackness.
Nothing...
Elton was lost amidst this dream when suddenly he was sharpened back to his senses as he could make out a group of different mobs all talking... or more like arguing amongst each other. From the angle he was, he could only make out... 2 Endermen... or Enderwomen... or girls for that matter... 2 Blazes, one seeming to be blue and cold... weird. Along with the bunch were a couple cats, some dogs he thought, a squid and he wasn't sure about this, but he thought he could see some skeletons, but then again he was pretty tired so he could have been imagining things. He thought that it might have been best if he would have just approached the group, because if they were hostile, he could simply use his ninja acrobatic skills and get to safety that way. Then again, with all the cloaking he was in, along with his backpack, there wouldn't be a big surprise if they did attack him. Best if he play it cool and emerge from his hiding spot.
He quietly moved from his hiding spot, trying his best not to startle the group.
"Umm hello? Do you guys need any help?" Elton said as he asked the group, which some of them turned to him, probably in horror as they thought that he was a human and not a skeleton. Elton didn't think of taking off his hood though, it was a little tense, so he hadn't really thought about it.
Ayva heard someone talking, and whipped around to face the newcomer. It was a short (to her it was short, anyway) humanoid thing wearing cyan clothes and had a hood concealing its face. It carried a glowing enchanted bow.Thinking it was a human, she froze in fear.
Not again, she thought. Not again!

Insulting people for their beliefs is not a good way of convincing them to adopt yours.
Fiction is just a game of make-believe recorded on paper or film. But that's what makes it so great.
"Wow. This group just keeps getting bigger and bigger." I remarked.

Whatever I just said, I didn't mean any offense. Unless we're fighting, in which case I probably did.
If I said something was a joke when it didn't seem like one, I'm making an excuse to avoid an argument I know is coming. Instead of telling me how not funny I am and how it didn't seem like a joke at all, just go along with it. Because flame wars suck and nobody wants to be a part of one.

"Oh sorry, I didn't mean to frighten any of you. I'm not one of those humanoids, " Elton quickly mentioned this as he didn't want to start a fight or anything. He lowered his hood slowly to reveal that he was in fact a skeleton so these other monsters wouldn't either try to run away or fight him. He really didn't like injuring different mobs that theoretically haven't done anything to him. "I'm only here to ask if you guys were in need of physical aid, which seems to be the case as you have a Blizz in your party and a land squid."
If the skeleton could turn white eyes purple, then yes, I was in need of physical aid. I wore the purple contacts and they looked 100% natural, but I was sick of feeling different. Sick of wondering if maybe I was infected by Herobrine the way people got infected by the Wither. I was just sick of everything. But despite this, I answered,"Some of us probably are, but I'm perfectly fine."

"I'm fine," Ayva whispered, not really that truthfully. She looked him up and down, taking in his cyan cloak, his cape, and his leather boots. She looked long enough that he could get a good glance himself at her blue eye and purple eye.

"As far as I am concerned, Heterochromia iridium is incurable without the use of custom commands, which don't always end well, and I notice your squid has a water-breathing device. I think I know a person who can fix that for you, " Elton said as the group studied him, Cyan Cloak and all.
Weapon (I added this just to explain my weapons): A Fire Aspect 6 diamond sword with Knockback 3
Bio (It doesn't have to be lengthy) : Aaron had decided to betray the family tradition as a bow master, prefering to build tools. He became an inventor with the unlikely support of his family. He has created a device to not burn in the sunlight. Now he roams in search of a place to settle down.

"Yeah... I accidentally deleted an entire server with one before, but no matter. He is a tech expert in the skeleton city you guys are probably wondering about. He doesn't live within the city, but is on the outskirts of the city. Usually no one ever gets to see him as he is a pretty sacred person for being the only one to know about this advanced technology, but as of the situation you are in, he should have a hard time not letting you see him. I can lead you guys to him if you would like, " Elton replied to the endergirl that had asked the question. "Also, I got the amazing cloak off of a custom armor caravan traveling around the taiga biomes. I could locate him for you if you would like."
(Also I would prefer that Deathkollector lower his sword stats a bit because as of now it seems too OP. Fire aspect VI isn't even in the game without custom commands. Also Death, you could just use a hat to not burn. Elton doesn't use one because the curse that he has prevents him from burning. Also, his cloak is beautiful.)

"Well, honestly I'm itching to go somewhere, instead of all this talking and standing around. I'll come" Said Max. "Also, you talk as if you're a player. Is that just a coincidence or is there a reason" Said Max who knew not to assume because of the enderwoman with the strange eyes and Blaziken.
Blaziken
"I'm still confused about some things" Then felling a connection to Max as he'd been the main one to stand up for him, but also for some other, unknown reason, he said "If Max is going, I'll go"
