Appearance: Elara’s clothing is rough and ragged, made up of strips of leather, odd bits of toughened hide. There’s enough there to cover her torso and down to her knees in a kind of dress, and it’s also thick and warm, acting as both armour and a blanket. She has long brown hair that reaches down to the small of her back, and she has hazel eyes. Her face is slightly tanned and mucky from mud and from not washing for perhaps several weeks. She is slim and fragile, and yet her womanly features show very well despite her apparent squat livings in the forests.


History: Having been abandoned in the woods for as long as she can remember, Elara has grown naturally akin to the trees that she calls her home. Over the past few years, she, and a wolf that seems to think her to be part of his pack, have been harassing woodcutters from harming the forests, claiming that for each tree cut that they must plant and care for another seedling. Of course, this didn’t go down to well with the authorities, and a bounty was placed on her head. Elara was hunted down, but her affinity with the forests allowed her to escape for around two years. It wasn’t until around a week ago that she was caught while tending to a seedling, watering it and trying to nurture it to grow into a wonderful oak, that a woodcutter snuck up behind her and clubbed her over the head. She was jailed without a trial, and sentenced to death soon after for “resisting the law”. She doesn’t know what law is anyway.


Personality: Elara believes that for each positive or negative action there is a negative or positive reaction. Elara loves trees and feels at home in them, often walking in their warm embrace and has found solitude. Trees recognise her as a friend, and in return for their friendship she protects them as much as she is able from the woodcutters. Elara is the “wicked witch of the woods” in towns that draw their wood from these forests, but in no shape nor form does Elara actually seek to harm others unless she sees the reasoning behind it. She strives to keep a balance between good and evil.

Spells;

Appearance:
Zekke wears his dark red hair slicked back into spikes. His Dark scale armour is well kept, if a little dirty at the moment. He carries nothing but his weapons, which he keeps his hands near at all times. His face is graced by a sly grin which coupled with his large green eyes give the impression he knows something you don't, and he finds it quite funny.

History:
Zekke is the son of a well-to-do Elven seargent. At a young age he was thought to fence, but the strict code of conduct and regimented fighting held no glory for him. He worked as a freelance merc, despite his fathers wishes. Here he developed a taste for real combat and has become addicted to the thrill of battle. He got landed in jail for getting a little over-zealous in a bar brawl.

Personality:
Zekke see's himself as a dashing hero, swashbuckler and intellectual. He always tries to appear to have been exceptional without actaully being so, a feat he is suprisingly adept at pulling off. However, despite being a bit of an ego maniac, Zekke is esentially a good person. He does help the poor and needy as much as he can, although in a slightly more public way than needed.

Other Information:
Hates to be called by his real name. In fact, no members of the party know his real name and only know him as Zekke.

Appearence;
Allyora stands fairly tall, and has a rugged, startling yet somewhat enchanting look about her person. She wears dark leather armour on her torso, and is engulfed with a jet black cloak down which runs a bright red streak. Her longbow is strong and lethal, and she never leaves anywhere without it strung to her back, but her prized possesion is her rapier. Kept in mint condition at all times, and razor sharp, the carving on the hilt shows work of the elder elves. She will never say how she acquired it, but she treasures it above all else.

Background + Personality;
Little is known of Allyora's past. She has lived in the woodlands all her life, and has been through dark experiences that have made her a quiet person. She particuarly reveres Mielekki, goddess of woods, trees and natural places, but prays constantly to all of the gods that hold sway over life and death, for she sees herself as a force of balance, immovably set against evil and chaos, but respectful of death, and willing to strive to hold it of, but not to hate or fear it when it takes its inevitable toll. She talks little to people, but having learnt mainly natural healing techniques, and lived long in the wilderness, she has a great affinity for nature, and for animals. She found Valdis in the wilds, and, sensing his potential as a mage, now strives to remove his curse and cure his Haemophilia. Despite this bringing about their imprisonment, she grows closer to Valdis with each passing day, and he has made her regret avoiding contact with elves and humans for so long....

Background: Valdis Kreban is the oldest son of a rich merchant family in the city we are based in. Due to his families recent and rapid rise to power, they gathered many enemies, and when Valdis was born he was soon found to be Haemophyllic. Whether these two things are linked is unknown, as attempts to cast remove curse have failed and yet there is no trace of the condition elsewhere in the family. Regardless, it has become Valdis's sole aim to find a cure for his condition, and he quickly turned his already agile mind to the study of magic. In order to provide some measure of protection to his fragile body, he has learned to cast spells while wearing armour, though this sometimes restricts his movement even now. He is also skilled with the crossbow, prefering to use it rather than his few reserves of magic except in the direst need. In recent weeks he has been working with Allyora, a cleric he met in the wilds, in an attempt to cure his Haemophilia, although this has led to their arrest. (needs improving I know, but I'm lazy ;) )

Special: Valdis has Haemophilia. The rules for this condition are as follows:
- After he has been injured (ie lost hp), he has a 50% chance of losing an additional hp each round. This continues until he spends a full action cleaning the wound
- He is unable to boost his constitution naturally until he has cured the condition
- Curing the condition requires researching a magical cure

Appearance: Taiman has dark, shaggy hair, a red bandanna tied just at the hair line to tempt to keep it out of his eyes. His eyes are a dark-shade of blue, almost giving the appearance of black, and piercing. His brow and jaw is sharp, giving him an almost-angular look. His fingers are long and grasping, yet obviously worn. Tall and quite muscular to a human and very muscular to most elves, Taiman is almost the definition of both "tall, dark, and handsome," and "the strong, silent type."

History: Taiman was raised an only child by his only parent; his human mother, who was deserted by his Elvish father before his birth. He learned Elvish from an old elf in the near-by village, but he geberally was estranged from society. After his mother died when he was fifteen, he set out on his own, training to become a warrior of reknown in an attempt to make a mark on the world both to spite his father and keep the admiration of his mother. Many know that his styles are similar to the exotic and fairly well-known "Samurai" and "Ronin" of the far east. As he hails to no lord, many call him the "Lord Ronin" ; he bows to none, but many kneel before him before the end of a fight.

Personality: Taiman is quiet, saying only a few words when necessary. However, those words are generally very insightful or extremely helpful. Unlike most warriors, he tends to spend as little effort as possible, using one or two key strokes to defeat as many enemies as possible, tending to let them come to him. He is also quite fond of Haiku,and usually is able to come up with one Haiku poem in most situations.

He is also very distrustful of elves, and refuses to speak Elvish unless necessary, though he understands it and speaks it fluently. He has a general prejudice against elves simply because they are elves, as his father was.

Other Information: Nobody living know's Taiman's birth name. The only who ever learned it was his deceased mother, but that is because she bestowed it upon him. He also fights with the blades held upside down, in that the hilt is near his thumb, not the cross-guard of his katana and wakizashi. He even went so far as to design a small locking mechanism so that his katana can be held upside down on his back, yet still be easily accessed.
