Age 129. Long (up to waistline) white hair in ponytail. Red eyes. "Jonah" is very interested about everything new that he hasn't seen before. He is a bit reserved sometimes, but only because he knows that some people keep him as a "demon" or some kind of freak.History:Hailing from somewhere deep underground, "Jonah" was born in the natural chaos of the drow cities. Because of the society's lack of order (and nothing better to do), he spend most of his childhood running around the city and the tunnels surrounding it. It didn't took too long before he had the idea to map the city's "streets". After long time and lots of used parchments, he had a quite good map of the city, which he was pretty proud of.Naturally in some age children wake up to the reality, that there are far more people in the world than those in their immediate vicinity, and of course, more cities to map. This led "Jonah" to explore the tunnels around the city, map them as good as he could (it's pretty hard to draw three dimension-tunnels on paper/parchment) and look a way to those wonderful other cities, full of new places to map.After he had explored some of the other cities along the years and witnessed some of the cities (and his maps) to change radically, he became interested of what had the cities been like before. He began to ask questions from older people, and heard many stories of the past, cities of great size, and the anger of the spirits. He didn't understand everything, but he wanted to know more.In his search of knowledge, he also heard of other planes with whole new worlds to map, and became interested of magic, which was the only way to get there. After he had some understanding of the cosmology, he talked of this with a powerful shaman. He had an argument with the shaman, who was annoyed that a wayfarer talked about magic theories like he was his equal. As it soon came out, the "wayfarer" knew more about arcane theories than the shaman, the shaman used his power in society, claimed that "Jonah" was a heretic that offended the gods, and drove him away.Angered, "Jonah" wandered around in the tunnels below, mapped them, going more and more away from the cities that he knew. Almost by accident he found a way to the surface. He was astonished by the whole new world he had found which, after years spend mapping the tunnels below, was very easy to map. He also found other races, huge cities... and sea.He met these "sailors", who talked about even more lands beyond the seas. And what happened to be most interesting: They needed maps, and somebody who could read and make them.</blockquote>
