“Gold in blood.”

If he's not normal enough just tell me, I was trying to walk the line between interesting to play and not OP.

(NO GLOVES, LONG, LONG NAILS)[/hider]

[hider=Occupation] Metalworking, mostly with prize metal and jewels. He crafted many works for body and home décor of other Elf Lords. He was not well known however, as he is an unusually anti-social Elf Lord. His work often became attributed to his mentor, which Marlaq didn't ever seem to care much about. At a gathering event all he would prefer to do was to examine wall hangings, chandeliers and jewelery.[/hider]

[hider=Personality] One object puts an attentive gleam into Marlaqs' eyes; and that object is gold. The more of it there is, the more he is drawn to it like a moth to flame. His gaze becomes so overbearing to those wearing gold adornments, that he has been challenged to duels on many occasions (a common practice by High Elves, in defense of honor). In this way, he has won much gold; this he takes in preference to anything else, often simply undressing his prostrate opponent of their metals and then leaving the dueling arena without a word.[/hider]

[hider=Bio] Marlaq is an elf gifted in a way many others wish he had never been. Elf Lords are all gifted with incredibly durable nails, which are used as weapons in duels. Marlaq possesses incredible nails; he has never treated them, and yet they have not yet broken when locked against the nails of another High Elf in a duel. He has another, mundane but rare genetic trait as well; his blood is the color of the metal he most craves. One in two thousand high elves have blood the color of gold; more possess the color silver, and commonly hues of blue and green. In the duels he participated in, Marlaqs' opponents were filled with fear when they spilled his gold blood; especially since at the sight of it, Marlaqs' face donned a ridiculous expression mixing powerful pride with out-of-control madness.[/hider]

[hider=Equipment] Fancy gilded clothes, and his talented nails. He wears no jewelery, surprisingly. The only gold on him is in the threads of his suit and his moneybelt.[/hider]

[hider=Talents] Marlaq's metalcrafting is hardly above an amateur level. While he covets gold, he cares not about its shape, and more about its quantity. He never trained for real combat; really, he only became talented at pissing off other elves, and then fighting them one on one. Perhaps his most applicable talent is his radiance; while all high elves produce an aura of something unearthly and powerful, Marlaq's pressure is honed and significant. He can capture the attention of many people with what he does, a sort of forced fascination, like a potent draught of charisma and intimidation.
