KILAL WAYFINDER
DESCRIPTION:
Kilal is slightly more corpulent and shorter than normal elves. He stands 6’0" tall and weighs in at 180 pounds. He has dark hair which is usually more or less unkempt and at about shoulder length. His face is as clean shaven as his long knife will allow but a short stubble will show in a few days. His frame is covered with hard muscle and he has a hungry, crazy look about him which uneases even the most hardy of characters. He looks like he has not slept very well in the past few days. Only the most observant of people can detect the human blood in him.
He is wearing soft leather boots, dark breeches and a loose fitting dark shirt. He will wear leather armor when he is expecting "real" trouble. His bow and quiver is slung around his back, he wears a belt with a bone long knife at his waist. He usually carries his obsidian headed battleaxe in his hand.
BACKGROUND:
Kilal was found by a wandering ranger when he was left to die with his mother by his former elven tribe. She was already dead when the ranger found them but by some miracle the young infant had survived. He has guessed that the elves had found out his human heritage and his mother could no longer hide the truth about him and they were kicked out from the tribe. He was raised and trained in the ways of nature and taught to respect the dwindling environment. His natural wild talent and strong Will soon blossomed when he was taught the Way. He honed his psionic skills battling the giths that infected those lands. The old man passed away and curiosity got the better of the Kilal.
He started going into the cities of the tablelands and hiring himself out as a scout and guide. He frequented the northern cities of Draj, Urik, and Raam. His mentor wondered that territory and he became quite adept in those lands. In that time, he mastered the bow but only hunted for survival. He prefers to ride crodlus and has even hired out as an outrider from time to time accompanying caravans for a while.
PERSONALITY:
Even though life has been better for him, he still makes his living with his wits and strength so he has an alert/always ready type of stance towards life.
Kilal feels uneasy around elves since he does not share their point of view on life nor most of their special skills. He still does not forgive them for their narrow mindedness towards other races and does not forgive them for what they had done to his mother. He is constantly confused with an elf and will sometimes let that pass and play along if he can see any benefit to it.
He enjoys making other people think that he is really crazy and flipped out.
He somehow resents the rich and/or nobles because they have doublecrossed him in the past. He will try and get a little bit more money for his services. He prefers to hire out as a guide but a bodyguard will do when his money grows short. He is a bit disenchanted with the big cities and is thinking of going back to the natural ways of the Athasian wilderness where he feels comfortable with the dangerous surroundings.
