[b]Name:[/b] Halen Vayne-Claymore [b]Appearance:[/b] [img]http://img0.ndsstatic.com/wallpapers/80372dccd79e2075feff8f5c99f59581_large.jpeg[/img] [b]Age:[/b] 79 (around 26 in his half elven life span years) [b]Race:[/b] Half-Elf [b]Inherent Ability:[/b] Toughness. [b]Acquired Abilities:[/b] Cryomancy- One one of Halen's more dangerous bounties, he found himself on the trail of a Frost Drake. The long trek through the icy mountains and the eventual battle with the fearsome creature left Halen injured and half-dead. He was only able to survive the night by eating the meat of the drake (inlcuding its heart) this granted him the magical ability to comprehend and wield ice magic on an intermediate level. He could easily have been a master in his long life but doesn't often practice magic as he prefers to rely on his martial skills. Master Hunter- Halen is still a hunter and carries many tools and traps to catch any animal and most beasts, this includes nets, poisons, rope, snares, and bait. Halen has been hunting beasts for nearly 60 years and has basically killed or captured every mythological, rare or dangerous creature you can think of which has given him an encyclopedia style knowledge on all living things and how to handle them. World Weary- Because of his mixed blood and exile, Halen has never really fit into any particular community for very long, and his hunting career forces him to travel the world and interact with all sorts of people. This has given him a very good understanding of politics, current events and world history. He is able to communicate in many different foreign tounges because of his knowledge. He can speak, Human, Elven, Demontongue, and Orcish fluently, and can speak a little Dwarven too. (but his accent is terrible) [b]Personality:[/b] Halen's viciously tough life has shaped him many times. Born with resentment in his heart and always touted as an outcast he learned very early that he would have to look out for himself. Also in his storied career as a beast hunter has made him somewhat animal like in nature, being very in-tune with his natural surrounding and having to think like a beast to track them. Recently though he has found relative peace in his heart since getting married to his new wife [hider=Malorie Vayne] [img]http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1eUOe52f-iw/UQGHeXioDfI/AAAAAAAAAJk/5j3DKMjIhdA/s320/eso+bosmer+female.png [/img][/hider] whose name he took proudly. So as a husband who is now thinking of starting a family he carries himself in a more respectful and humble manner although the nasiter sides of his personality will rear their head occasionally. [b]History:[/b] Halen was born in land (or realm) much different to the one he currently finds himself in. He is the illegitimate offspring of an Elven Queen mother and a Beserker Human Father. The circumstances of his conception are widely known to be rape (when the beserker came and attacked the kingdom). The Queen decided to keep the child and give birth to half elf boy who the kingdom hated, not just for his human blood (humans were forbidden from the realm) but for the horrible event which his very existence represented. Because of this his mother was forced to exile him and her first son and Halen's older brother Redswift (who was meant to be king) Decided to leave in disgust of the elven kingdom's politics and find his own way and maybe also reunite with his brother. Halen had a long and storied career after being outcasted that cant be covered here but he became a very famous and powerful beast hunter and occasional mercenary and was able to come to terms with his half elven heritage and once meeting his also Half Elven wife Malorie he decided to carry his heritage with pride. Now he wants to find his brother Redswift who is on a personal journey to learn more about the elven people from other lands other than the closed off community he was born in. Redswift had traveled to Talmaria as a royal envoy to speak with the politicians at the Relastmina din Unadine for more information and the possibility of forming a relationship with his own secret elven kingdom which he left to build bridges with other elfs for a brighter future.
