Name: Raeilun Theyla
Age: 20
Race: Elven Werewolf
Height: 5'11
Weight: 165 lbs
Description-
Raeilun is slim and very lean, living mostly off the food that nature provides rather than fattening pastreys and meats. He is handsome, but in a rugged way that shows no pretense of easy living or pampering. He has silver hair of a medium length that he usually keeps tied in a ponytail with a leather strip. When his hair is down, it just barely covers his hazel eyes that ever so slightly slant downward; the shine in his eyes and his devilish grin betrays his youth and lack of experience in the ways of society and the civilized world. He wears a dark tunic, cut off at the sleeves; he wears a ring that was given to him by his mother on a string as a necklace; For pants, he wears breeches that meet with midcalf, cuffed leather boots. He is unable to shift completely into a wolf; rather, he adapts certain wolfish characteristics, such as their vocal patterns, (growling, howling, etc...) among other things. He exudes confidence, sometimes to the point of just being cocky.
Possessions-
A leather pack, which hangs from his side from a strap that crosses his body. The pack is made of a rough leather that he tanned and formed himself. It is far from perfect, as he is an amateur at the art. It is cynched with a piece of a dear antler and strips of rawhide.
A hunting knife, with a drop point blade that is aproximately 7 inches long and a stag horn handle of 5 inches, which has been altered to fit any hand well and comfortably. The phrase "For my brother, Ilyther, whom I love" is engraved in elvish runes into the razor sharp blade. The knife was given to him by his father, Ilyther. He keeps it in a fine leather sheath that was crafted by his father shortly before his passing, which is attached to a rough, battleworn swordbelt that was likewise handed down to him by his father.
An oak recurve bow, backed with sinew and horn from an elderly deer, making the horn strong and hard. It is strung with a tanned sinew cord. It is an object that Raeilun crafted himself, honing the skill of bowyering from a very young age.
Strengths and Abilities-
-Wolflike Characteristics-
Raeilun has wolflike fangs and claws, and he can also adapt wolflike speed and strength, when needed.
-Ferocity-
Raeilun enters into a feral, wild state, increasing his strength and agility greatly. Such an extreme state only comes into being when he is close to death or greatly angered. In his docile state, Raeilun is still quite feral, but not nearly as powerful. Either way, he lacks the technique and experience of older, more hardened wolves and warriors.
-Archery-
Raeilun is a good shot with a bow and arrow, no doubt from the time he spends hunting in the wilderness. The twang of an arrow being loosed from a bow is a natural, pleasant sound to him.
-Fletchery, Bowyering, and Woodworking-
Spending much time in the wilderness allows Raeilun time to focus on much more artistic endeavors, such as woodworking and flint knapping. With this skill he can create anything from a beautiful carving, to a weapon of deadly accuracy.
-Simple Suggestion-
By using this gift, Raeilun can temporarily transfer a simple minded target's conciousness to the Astral Plane, where he can bend it's thoughts to his will. The creature (or being) feels it as nothing more than a whisper in their mind, but not so soft that they can escape the compelling nature of the ability. Unfortunately, Raeilun cannot often control this ability; with proper tutelage, however, perhaps he can learn to better control and even bolster these powers.
-Natural Instincts-
Being part wolf, Raeilun has much sharper senses and instincts than that of the average mortal. This isn't always an advantage, however, as it quite often can get him in trouble.
Weaknesses and Flaws-
-Rage-
Sometimes, Raeilun is very easily angered, lashing out at those around him. Sometimes he is very docile, sometimes his anger could encompass the world sevenfold.
-Cockyness-
Being a very young age, Raeilun puts much stock in his own abilities, wrongly so, more often than not.
-Youth-
Being young and inexperienced, Raeilun runs across many situations that he cannot handle without causing harm to himself or others.
-Good Nature-
Raeilun strives to see the best in everyone and everything, which has betrayed him on more than one occasion. Despite that, he believes in the goodness of every beings heart.
-Isolation-
Raeilun has had little interaction with other beings, besides that of his family and the villagers of Shim, preferring to keep to the wilderness. As such, he can be socially awkward.
History-
Raeilun was born to Ilyther and Alaesissa Theyla in a small cottage on the outskirts of Shim. His father was a trapper and hunter for the village; his mother a seamstress. His father was a first generation werewolf; his mother, however, had no wolf blood in her. As such, Raeilun cannot fully morph into a wolf, but has wolfish characteristics and tendencies. Ilyther raised Raeilun to live off the land and to appreciate everything natural. He instructed Raeilun in the ways of woodsmanship and archery from the time he was old enough to hold a bow.
Raeilun's mother was a compassionate and caring individual who taught her son that life, the life of any being, is something to be cherished, that it was a gift to be used to improve the conditions around oneself and not wasted. Raeilun's wolfish tendencies and mental abilities had not matured until he reached the age of 12, at which time he began to exhibit fits of rage. His innate ability, no matter how small, frightened the townsfolk (who were mostly Puradynes), so Ilyther spirited him away to the wilderness until he reached his sixteenth year, in an attempt to help him control his anger and his mental abilities.
Four years of solitude left Raeilun naieve to the ways and workings of society, and as such he returned socially awkward, but kindhearted and happy as ever. He and his family lived happily for two more years after that. When Raeilun was in his eighteenth year, his father passed from seemingly natural causes. Raeilun took up his fathers trade as a hunter and trapper until present day. Raeilun has received a mysterious letter from his uncle Felryn, who lives in Marn, telling him that they need to meet, and soon. And so, Raeilun packed his gear and his most favored possessions, preparing to set out for Marn with the wind in his face, the sun on his back, and a warmth in his heart.
