I had an idea strike me. I expect I'll be too distracted over the next few months to participate, but I can put together a character.

Abilities
-
The Steel Tide
-The highly trained Elf Legions are skilled in the support of fellow soldiers on the battlefield. All Elf Legionnaires are melded into a single entity during combat.
Numbers Beyond Counting
-The Elf Legions are as numerous as the grains of sand in a desert. Where there is one Elf Legionnaire, there are thousands more.
The Phalanx
-When combined under the effects of The Steel Tide, the Base Resilience of the Elf Legion is equal to the front row of Elf Legionnaires. The Base Damage is the front three rows of the army. This ability risks breaking under a sufficiently strong attack.
Annealed by Flame
-Double defensive string against heat-based attacks. Additionally, Galio may choose to heal 100 Health when struck by a heat-based attack.
Intercept
-If an incoming attack is caught, intercept the attack with one of your own. If your damage is higher, negate the attack, and deal the difference in unblockable damage. If your damage is exceeded, reduce incoming damage by yours before calculation.
Sprint
Level 1
-Galio has a footspeed of 10 mph.
250 bonus stats (+100 Health, +100 Resilience, +50 Base Damage)
Champion spec (+50 Base Damage, Double Hit on weapon)
3 Perks spent on Personal Abilities (Annealed by Flame, Intercept, Sprint)
Upgrade paths (proposed) - Does mean things if he wins an Intercept conflict [Disarm, etc], gets turn by turn healing if he doesn't sprint, makes an extra attack at the start of his turn, some kind of ranged attack spell, weird time effects leftover from backstory...
Galio was a promising young warrior who sought glory by following a renowned champion. A temporal mishap flung him over a hundred years into the future, separating him from his mentor and everyone he knew. Fortunately, Galio had become quite powerful even partway through his training. Unfortunately, the Unified Darkness appeared to still be opposing the Empire.
He tries to take human weirdness in stride, but has difficulty separating weird technology from weird magic. Demon cleaving is much the same as he's used to at the least.
(still needs a picture, sorry)
This is intended to be a straightforward melee dude. He can have something else set him on fire for extra health and otherwise can move about, intercept attackers reliably, and dish out healthy chunks of damage with or without a phalanx around. (He is not meant to be able to set himself on fire, elves rely on one another!)
