He has long brown-reddish hair with a short beard that is split in two 3-inches-long braids. His hair also has two thin braids decorated by yellow and black bird feathers. His originally pale skin is now well tanned, a sign of his exposure to direct sunlight due to his extensive travelling. His light green eyes and his face features make Johen a rather handsome young man. However, a smile is rarely seen on his face. He seems both sad and determined and only softens up to an hawk that accompanies him, resting on a leather pad fixed on his left shoulder. Johen and this hawk seem to have developed a strong bond. Johen can get the hawk to perfom a number of tricks for the delight of children and passer-by.He wears a now well-worn green tunic whose colour has faded quite a bit, beige trousers, some boots and a travelling cape padded with animal furs, which seems a bit incronguous in this region. His accent betrays his Tureni origin. He is rather heavily armed with a scimitar, club and shortspear. A dark brown leather armor covers his tunic whilst he holds a wooden shield in his left hand. The shield his decorated with primitive drawings of trees and stars.Background: Johen is a young Tureni druid living in the northern part of the Great Forest, in the Duchy of Gwynloc'h. Linving in the forest and having to support cold winters had helped him develop a strong and healthy body that he combines with a sharp mind.As most druids, he was chosen by the Archdruid on his 14th birthday to become a druidic apprentice and join the secretive order. His parents did not object. On the opposite, their pride was great to see their eldest son be selected.For six years, Johen would serve his Master and occasionally learn from him. It felt more like being a servant to Jehen, until he was 17 and his Master, a druid named Herruwen, started to teach him the Secrets of Nature. He was taught how to deal with animals, how to understand the signs of nature and how to use plants to cure or help.Herruwen had a keen interest for birds and anything to do with the sky and the wind. Together they would spend time on top of cliffs to study the sound of the wind or back in the Great Forest to listen the wind 'talk' in tree branches. Herruwen would sometime turn into a bird or channel lightning during a stormy night.Naturally Johen decided to get a young hawk as a companion. As he got older, Johen started to understand that all was not well in the Turen Kingdom, that political forces were opposing each other, sometimes violently. The Druidic society also had its clans, various interpretations and philosophies that would clash. The last selection of the Tureni Queen had left sequels and opposed factions would continue a more or less secretive fight, aiming to improve their political influence or impose their philosophical views. All these issues superimposed with the Shadow War.Herruwen, though not a Archdruid, was a well-known druid in Turen, in particular in the Duchy of Gwynloc'h where he would usually officiate for the seasonal festivities in front of the nobility. He had travelled a lot, was reknown for his knowledge of the Air element and his use of druidic magic.When Johen turned 20, Herruwen set a number of tests to judge Johen's druidic knowledge but also started to quietly judge his faithfulness and trustworthiness. Satisfied, one evening, under the stars, he confessed to Johen that there were factions jealous of his position and knowledge and that something 'bad was up'. Johen was worried by this news, hoping it would only be an old man's story. At the same time, he noted how Herruwen's attitude was changing. The old druid was getting more nervous, twitchy and irritable. One night, Jehen was awaken by noises and cries. A fight was taking place in their home! As he got up and ran to the kitchen, he found Herruwen on the floor, a dagger planted in his back. A chest had been moved from its place to reveal a trapdoor in the floor, and a body all dressed in black was laying nearby, probably dead.As Johen ran to Herruwen, the old druid looked at him and managed to say in a whisper: &quot;They... The...&quot; before dying in his hands.Distressed and confused by his feelings, Johen removed the dagger from Herruwen's back. It was a strange dagger, finely made with a hollow handle probably containing the poison that killed his Master. He didn't know where it had been made, but it certainly wasn't Tureni. He checked the man. His wasn't Tureni, more probably an Azgundi.His mind was made up! He quickly gathered his belongings, took the dagger, called his hawk and left Herruwen's mansion in a rush, hoping to find the assassins of his Master and to avenge him.[/sblock]</blockquote>
