Name: Valderai Rethalas
Gender: Male
Age: 129
Race: Elf (Fánamar)
Height: 6’ 9”
Weight: 139 lbs
Occupation/Position: Hunter
Appearance: As a Fánamar Elf from the Rossesila Forest, Valderai is of snow white complexion with uncommon long black hair. He is attired in dark hunting leathers with all manner of weapon belts and pouches. His eyes are dusky copper which gleam with anticipation as he closes in on his prey. The hunter’s face is dominated by his intense expression of awareness shown by his angled brow and hawkish nose. Valderai is tall and of slight build, relying on his speed and agility to overcome his foes.
Personality: The first impression one might gain from meeting Valderai is the sheer intensity of his gaze. And it is this resolution in his eyes which reflects his true personality. For whilst patient, this hunter does not waste time with trivial matters; determinedly pursuing his goals with a calculative mind. It is this mindset of dedication which has served Valderai well in being selected and trained as a hunter in Rossesila Forest. His profession has filled him with a sense of duty which he strives to uphold at all costs. It is due to this discipline that Valderai is often hard on himself in failure and expects perfection in all his ways. Nevertheless, this hunter does not take such a strict stance when others make mistakes for such is his independence of spirit that his expectations are for himself alone.
Weapons/Wargear: Due to Valderai’s occupation as a hunter, this Fánamar Elf has a variety of hunting weapons that he carries on his person to be ready for any number of possible situations. Valderai has three stiletto knives fastened to a leather strap crossing his torso to the left shoulder, two thirteen inch wakizashis sheathed at both left and right sides of his belt, six darts filled with poison arranged between the two blades, a hidden long boot knife fastened on his right leg, an extendable blade concealed under both wrists, a left shoulder mounted dagger, a quiver full of arrows on his back complete with strung short bow hooked around the case, and finally his most potent weapon; a katana also strapped to his back.
Skills: As would befit a hunter, no less an elf, Valderai is skilled in the use of all his mentioned weapons having utilised them to great effect on many occasions. The hunter has trained with the short bow since as long he can remember and has an unerring accuracy with throwing knives and darts. However, Valderai’s main prowess lies in his exceptional swordmastery of the katana. Valderai will dazzle his opponents with his spinning one handed slashes only to deliver a coup-de-grace with a double-handed sweeping arc. Apart from this, Valderai is a fast endurance runner, having to track his prey days behind. His tracking ability is competent, though only when in familiar territory. Added to this is his night vision inherent in all elves. He has limited animal communication skills. Last but not least, Valderai is accomplished in a few spells which aid him on his travels. Most of his magic repertoire is listed below in order of basic spells to expert magicks.
Spells:
Far Sight - With this spell in effect, the caster is able to see further than he normally could but also with the added benefit of sighting the heat trail of creatures behind impenetrable terrain.
Haste - This spell enables Valderai to move at up to 1.5 times faster than he normally could. The caster will use up their vigour as if moving at normal speed.
Enhance - By mentally charging himself with magic, Valderai is able to bestow a sense of calm and clarity to himself. It effectively augments a broad range of battle manoeuvres such as firing a bow, wielding a sword, etc.
Vigour - Much like the Enhance spell, vigour instead increases the actual physical and mental attributes of a person including stamina, willpower, strength, agility, etc. The caster has to specify which qualities he will be focusing on within the spell.
Neutralise Poison - If Valderai has ingested or is superficially infected by a poisonous substance such as venom, he can use this spell as a rapid working antidote. However, due to the fact that there are a multitude of poisons in the world, this spell is not necessarily a guaranteed cure.
Heal Wounds - A broad term which includes the restoration of torn musculature and nervous systems, mending broken bones, replacing lost blood count, cleansing infected wounds, and weaving skin back together. Valderai is proficient with this spell on a basic level and is only able to staunch blood flow and close broken skin with much effort. He will more than likely have to heal naturally over time in addition to the magic’s effect.
Biography: Valderai has been exiled from the Rossesila Forest and is therefore known as a Dark Elf. The reason for Valderai's banishment is kept only to himself and he withdraws into a quiet gloom whenever asked. However, when pressed, he will only mention that the terms of his exile are temporary, dependent on achieving a particular goal. Determination will flare in his eyes and he will say no more. More info to come later.
