Yay! The human knight! Welcome aboard :)
Role:
Name: Namine Xellia
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Appearance:
For a human, Namine has light skin; lighter then most and a fiery red hair that almost seemed to contrast the very notion of her skin color. As far as height goes, nothing special. She's of average height for a human of her age. Her body is slim, and she's able to carry herself quietly and, really, is easy to not notice. Her outfit varies by the day.
Personality: Namine, having been born and raised in Xiantha, as a human has made her calm and collected. She learned early in life when to talk, and when not to. She has a strong conviction for the conservation and protection of life, even if it means the wasting of her own life. Upon meeting new people, she is usually soft-spoken and seemingly shy until she knows how to act around a group or individual. Once comfortable with others she makes it a point to remain completely honest with people, even at times where truth can hurt, beyond that however, she is a friendly individual.
She does have... ticks, however. She hates certain things, such as bad breath, arrogance, malicious blood-lust (duh) and large suits of armor. She hates armor because it gives her anxiety; she sees it as a constant foreshadowing of battle, death and war.
History/ Background: Namine was born, raised and lives in the Elven Kingdom of Xiantha. Her citizenship was granted, despite her being human, due to her father and mother taken prisoners during the war and giving birth to her. She was lucky that the Elves believed that a human born under the influence of their laws would stay true to their way of life, and thus far, it has proven true. The same could not be said for her parents. They remained in slavery but... she never knew them. Or that they were slaves to the elves. There are not many, but she is not the only human native to Xianthe. Because of this, she grew up in the orphanage for war-lost children and, as one might assume, she was... discriminated against. At first she didn't understand it, why the other children and a number of adults thought less of her but in time she learned, and accepted that was how it was to be.
She didn't have her deep appreciation for life until she was thirteen. She gained her adult citizenship and, to prove loyalty to the Elven Kingdom she was to take part in the trial of a Human who'd been caught back during the war. Normally, in these cases, they were all sentenced to death and she was aware that trying to save the human-man would lose her her citizenship, because he had been a soldier and was accused of war-crimes. She went against his case, and said he should be sentenced to death-- the judge could tell why she'd made her decision and gave the man life after his time in the Elven prison. Namine couldn't understand why the judge had done what he'd done; she'd seen thousands of trials to get ready for that day and found herself encountering him after the case. She asked why he made the decision he made and he told her something that redefined her life.
"Everyday, people conform to the decisions that other in higher power make in order to maintain an order. If the no-one stands away from the crowd to do what's right despite what socially correct, the acts of kindness the elders tell the young in stories wouldn't exists and stories of heroes from the war wouldn't be told."
What he'd said had affected her, and from that day on that was the standard she wanted to strive for, but for all she came across. Everyone she'd ever meet didn't mind the idea of killing, so she would. Everyone who accepted killing would be her antithesis, and she would be the one who thinks life take priority above all things. Even choices made in that life.
Now, at the age of twenty-three, she does the only job a human-woman can do in the Elven Kingdom of Xiantha-- she's a maid in the pubic portion of the Royal Palace.
