I decided to go with elf, since it fits better (in my mind) with wearing armor. Everything else is the same. FYI, I only added only 1 proficiency to account for the race, nothing more (no weapon proficiencies).
Question for you [MENTION=552]Creamsteak[/MENTION]: what are the common human languages & can you give us some insigh as to which languages would be useful for the setting (ancient and current)?

Physical Appearance:
Tobin is an average sized elf. He is a youngling, being only 85 years old. He has black hair, with green eyes. His complexion is creamy white, which one would expect from someone who spends at much time pouring over old tomes as he does.
Backstory:
Thael came grew in the forests of xxx, hidden from the surrounding human lands. He had a simple and happy childhood in the forest, but his thirst of knowledge brought him to the high elven town of XXXX to study a a young age. No tragedy or twist of fate landed him on the doorstep of the library, simply an unending curiosity about anything and everything. Poor of coin and devoid of any marketable craft skills, Tobin elected to join the priesthood of the temple that oversaw the library. He spent many years pouring over old tomes on the arcane, history, religions, and anything else he could get his hands on.
If he had been able to, Thael would have become a wizard. Alas, this was for those of ages past, for the world's magic was now fickle, until now.
The elves, quite cunning, kept abreast of Human developments. This is how Thael learned of the developments in Ashwell. The moment he had heard of the town and what was happening, he knew that he needed to go there.
