Here is my attempt at filling one of the lover spots.
Edit: I thought of an idea, so I added to the physical appearance a bit.

Arcturus
________________________________________ Arcturus Deredion 165 | Male | Moon elf _______________________________________________ ❏ BIRTHPLACE: Fraktis ❏ CASTE: Medic and warrior ❏ AFFILIATIONS: The clan under the moon ❏ GOALS: To become a protector and a balanced individual. _______________________________________________ TALENTS: ◆ Communication ◆ Excellent hunter/survivalist ◆ Marks carry moonlight; can control the light ◆ Fluent at the ocarina ◆ Culture/tribal based dancing (ritualistic) EQUIPMENT: ◆ Physical bow and a quiver of 20 arrows ◆ Waterskin ◆ Skinning knife | Appearance ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Arcturus derives from the moon elves; he sports violet-toned skin with silver-white locks. His eyes reflect the colors blue, violet, and purple. Upon the slivery-white locks and near his elongated ears are a set of dark horn-like-antlers that curve back. Standing around 6'2" and weighing around; 185 pounds, Arcturus is not lean in physique or extremely bulked with muscle. His athletic figure is from the diet of wild game and foraged foods (mushrooms, berries, etcetera). He has specie-based markings on his body, particularly around his face, which absorb moonlight. Unless magical abilities are present: he and his people can regulate when they light up. The longer he basks in the moonlight, the longer he can use this trait. Rumors about moon elves are that they are a sub-species of drow elves. This causes a lot of tension between moon elves and other species like humans. One can see the multiple scars inflicted on Arcturus from fear or outright speciesism. Arcturus has not been in many battles, but he has fought for and beside his people. A practice that the moon elves partake in translates to "Fallen Souls" and this practice is after conflict. There are five circular burns on the back of Arcturus's trapezius. These burns are memories of who he has caused to fall in conflict or battle. Personality ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Growing up in a close-knit society with unknown tensions with the outside world perplexed a young Arcturus. He was naturally caring and helpful to everyone and everything he met. Only through experience did he see how others may be afraid of his appearance and who he was; he began to dread some people, but he never allowed that fear to turn into hatred for an entire species. When Arcturus brought home wounded creatures to care for before releasing them out into the wilds, his parents were unsurprised. He was sympathetic. Arcturus was a sensitive child, and his father encouraged him to participate in the ceremonies of their people. Although he was first traumatized by the experience, he learned to govern how and who he should be at different times. He struggled at first with the trials but developed into a confident and superior warrior. Arcturus is known to be an observer due to his experiences and who he has always been. If others will let him, he is someone who strives to understand them. He may have inherited this trait from his mother, who was patient and attentive. He began to exhibit these certain characteristics later in his youth. Arcturus usually has a peaceful temperament and is stoic, but when he is not, he is lively. He is confident in himself; he allows himself to be goofy. Making a fool out of himself to see another smile, knowing how to playfully act with an exaggerated style of sarcasm. This tends to make him excellent with children. He is someone who will listen. Arcana ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Major: The Lover When it comes to his arcane power, he is nothing to his other half. He has not experienced what he and his equal are capable of doing together. He is ineffective without his other half. The only abilities he can do without the other are light tricks. Displaying orbs of light or strings, he has been able to control this part of his ability for a while. Occasionally he will make balls of light that dance around to light his way through the forests or dark caverns. Minor: N/a |
Combat: ••••••••••
Going through the trials of the moon elves, he learned how to double-wield shortswords and a bow. They tend to not go to war, but he has experienced small but bloody quarrels in his lifetime. Having to defend himself with force and violence. Arcturus knows how to defend himself from danger.
The moon elf techniques are known to launch swift and powerful attacks. Their trained to a precise standard of knowing what shot will kill versus a shot that will maintain someone.
Culture: ••••••••••
His childhood was mainly secluded except for the occasion of travelers or adventuring by the local towns. He has experienced other cultures in this way and understands that everyone is different. From a young age, Arcturus experienced speciesism from others, but he understood that others might fear him for he is different or demon-like in appearance.
His own culture is focused on the moon, knowing the phases, and living within the darkness of night. He comes from a people who are night owls and do almost everything under the moonlight.
Commerce: ••••••••••
Most might assume his actions to be foolish or him to be unintelligent, but Arcturus is not one to value money. Having little regard for currency or material goods, he knows he can supply himself with what he needs. Hunting, foraging, and overall survival skills were prominent in his clan. His parents have taught him how to live off the land and to be a survivalist.
This causes him to only sell or trade things for what he needs at the time. A trait that is a possible flaw with financials.
Magic: ••••••••••
Moon elves have magic within them; the reason they can absorb the moonlight and use it at will to light up their way. There are different levels of magic throughout his species and clan. Most who show magical properties are sub-classed into healing or fortune telling. He showed magical properties at a young age, so he was trained in the ways of the healers. The elders guided him into herbalism and focused on what was within. The only thing he can do besides non-magic herbalism and healing is to quicken the overall healing process.
Survival: ••••••••••
This is his most fluent status, survivalist. He was raised in a community that focuses on self-sufficiency and only using what you need. One can find anything they need from the wilds; that is the law of the land. From hunting to the gathering, he knows how to use every part of an animal or what the most poisonous mushrooms are. He knows how to make arrows, spears, a bow, or a hut from scratch
Karma: ••••••••••
Most of the time, keeping to himself, he might not have much karma coming his way. He is someone who will listen to or comfort a stranger. He is someone who will give what he can to a person in need, but he will not fault himself to help another. Arcturus does not go out of his way to search for people in need, though he does stop if he comes across someone who needs help.
