-The Ebb And Flow-
-The Ebb And Flow-
Sitting in a small coffee shop in Central, He reached over taking the fine cup in his hand and taking a sip from his warm tea, nodding quietly as he listened to the man sitting before him for a moment, a fellow alchemist now doubt, a man that shared the same passion that he did, a kindred soul so to speak. Turning his attention to one of the rather attractive waitress for a moment as he took another sip, he tilted his gaze quietly back to the man as he asked him about the kind of alchemy he him self performed, setting the cup down a small smile parted his lips as he folded his hands in front of him, leaning his elbows onto the table and resting his chin on his clasped hands as he took in a small breath, letting it linger in his lungs as he thought before exhaling with a gentle smile.
"..My alchemy you ask? Well i suppose i could share what i have learned with you my friend, other alchemist spend years and years of their life, pondering how to use alchemy to better mankind, and who's to say that's what it truly exist for, to better man kind?.."
He would pause for a moment at those words letting them sink in with the man before him as he reached over and took another sip of his tea, placing the cup back onto the table and savoring the taste of the bitter sweet beverage before he started speaking quietly again a rather relaxed and casual air about him.
"..The military uses the craft of alchemy for war, and for peace, two things that come hand in hand no doubt and a double edged sword so to speak, other alchemist develop their skills to control a single element or auspice of this graceful science, and yet they do not truly understand or learn anything from it, they use it and they like to say they're experts in the field, but all their really doing is using whats already around them, what already exist before their eyes, and bending it to their will. However what i have done is taken this science to the next level or i at least would like to think i have.."
He would tilt his head against his hands and close his eyes for a moment chuckling at his own statement, finding amusement in his words that seemed to be lost to others, but he didn't mind, taking another breath he would sigh just a bit then yawn before continuing.
"..It exist around us, a powerful force that cannot be stopped, and yet no one tried to dive into this fascinating and confusing field i have ventured far into in my research, what i speak of is the ebb and flow of time its self.."
He would laugh gently as the man seemed a bit taken back by his words, seeing them as blasphemy, honestly he didn't care of this man saw him as a nutcase or a mad man, he spoke words of wisdom that was far beyond his time, nodding gently as he narrowed his icy blue eyes towards the man he would smile at his reaction, as if amused and pleased by it.
"..Nicholas Flamel, perhaps you have heard of this man? well he was an alchemist like you, and i and during his time he did quite a bit of research on the soul, something that was said not to have existed so to speak, and ideal more than an actual thing right? well he proved them wrong, the idea of the Philosophers Stone came about through his research, Hell even one of the states alchemist wears Flamel's array on his clothing i doubt the kid even knows it, so lets just think for a moment, all logic aside here, if the soul does exist and alchemist have learned to use it and toy with it like their own plaything, then what of another thing that exist only in concept and ideas, Time.."
Glancing down at his empty cup he was pause and frown a bit, smiling and calling out to the waitress as she walked by them he nodded to her, whispering a few words into her ear, she blushed a bit and took the empty cup from the table then quietly made her way back to the kitchen, Links watching her the entire time, a relaxed smile on his face as he did so.
"..You see, by understanding that time, just like the soul is but a mere construct, you can then look at your research from that prospective, then things become much more feasible, at that point your not learning to just spark a fire, or freeze a glass of water, your learning something truly amazing, and i for one believe that this is the kind of thing that alchemy is meant for, its greater purpose.."
He watched quietly as the man stood from his seat shaking his head, then within a few words he had managed to condemn the research that Links had done, calling him a hack, that it was his kind that gave some people the wrong impression of alchemist, and all Links could do to this was laugh a bit at the man as he turned his gaze away from him silently as the other alchemist made his way from the coffee shop, then about that time the cute curly haired waitress made her way back to him, with a new cup of tea glancing down at it he would thank her as he watched the trails of steam rise from it. Reaching down he took the handle on the side of the cup and brought it to his lips taking another sip, shaking his head at the mans response as he watched the people walking down the side of the street, going about their lives and wasting their time, with a small sigh he would set the glass down and simply stare out the window as if lost in his own thought, whispering but one statement about the other alchemist who stormed out on him.
"..Perhaps i am a fool, but id rather be a fool than waste my life away as you have friend.."

Description:
Links on any normal day when he goes out wears a nice rust colored silk dress shirt unbuttoned with a black and white striped cotton shirt under that , with a pair of black pants to go with it, his hair is a faded and dark type of red that he keeps kinda messy at times, his eyes are a deep sky blue. Standing around 5'6 and weighing in at about 154 lbs, he has well toned muscles and seems to be in good shape. On the back of his left hand he has tattooed in black the roman numeral "XIII" for some reason, on both of his palms he has an incredibly detailed transmutation circle tattooed onto both of them, an odd and unheard of twelve point array, quite complex compared to others out there.
Personality:
Links is a very calculating person, he takes each action he makes in stride with the next making sure that he can always finish what he starts, though he doesn't have much time for dating he has always thought of him self to be a ladies man of sorts, he can normally get a phone number but rarely follows up on it for some reason, it may seem that he has a fear of commitment to anything but his research on Chronology. He sees him self as a philosopher, always taking the teachings of others and applying them to his life and the way he lives. He takes everything as a game except his research, to him life is but a game and he does in fact play to win so to speak.
Alias: Thirteenth Alchemist He would always make jokes with people that scoffed at this work that he would finish his research on the thirteenth hour of the thirteenth month, which of course is impossible because such a time does not exist, thus implying the irony that he may never finish his research, to him at least he found the title amusing, sort of a bitter irony about it.
Character History:
Living with his father in Central most of his life, his mother had left his father when he was young, it doesn't bother him now, but his father was doing research on time from a physics point of view, once his father passed from a incident in Central due to a car crash from a military personal carrier that was moving to fast for its own good, for a long while he held the military to blame, but his philosophy, taught him that time heals all wounds, mentally at least and he let it go, spending the money his father left him with while working part time he funds his research using what his father had learned from the physics point of view and applying the same concepts with alchemy he understood it better and excelled in his research. Now he lives in a decent apartment in Central alone, but he rather enjoys the peace and quiet.
Weapons:
Combat Capoeria
To stay in shape he takes time out every day at least two hours to practice Capoeira, using the time he trains in it to calm his body, mind and soul to help him understand his research better, he also applies the same art while fighting if he must, using erratic and randomized movements to confused his opponent, most of his combat consist of diffrent sweeps and kicks, and keeping momentum built up to perform the acrobatic maneuvers that Capoeria is known for.
Alchemy
Alchemy Of Time
His research on the construct of time has given him quite an insight on how to pull at the threads as he wants, though he cannot do this with a single array, his concept turned out to be true, that he needed to cause a equal reaction with two twelve point arrays.
The First Array is tattooed onto the palm of his right hand, fine in detail and almost graceful looking, by focusing and using this array he can pull him self from the flow of time, putting him into a sort of stasis outside the flow of time, where as he cannot do anything from there.
The Second Array must be activated when the first one is, allows him to move outside the flow of time as he wishes, its dangerous to do so, but worth it, the second array allows him to slow or speed up his prospective of time, at this point everyone else moves within the normal flow but it would seem to them that he is either moving very slowly in an odd and disturbing sort of way, or he seems to be moving with god like speed.
When he steps outside the flow of time, everything goes pale, shades of the colors that once surrounded him, and from there he may move as normal, while everyone else around him moves incredibly slow, as does everything else, however this alchemy, drains his body and some times his mind, he cannot keep it up for too long without feeling some adverse effects, it makes him incredibly tired to do it for more than a few minutes, and if he ignores his fatigue it begins to age his mind, causing him to forget important things about his past, however he uses his alchemy wisely, and strives to expand his research on the matter.

"Time Alchemy"... ! I suggest you have some kind of Watch/Pocketwatch with an array on, to manipulate the time 
And might consider adding some LIKES/DISLIKES
