(pics welcome if you have a clear idea)Standing about five feet and eleven inches tall, Elias has flowing, jet black hair which falls from behind his horns, pointing straight back and slightly up from his forehead.Elias's silvery orbs of eyes contrast the dingy, brownish red colour of his skin in an almost majestic way. His tail usually coils in his cloak, mostly so no one steps on it, but also so that he can avoid any unwanted attention.A dirty black or dark brown cloak usually covers his battle-beaten armour and his muscular arms.-What's his story? Where does he come from?Elias is from a small, nameless village halway between Thum-Binyas and Nesiah. For as long as he can remember, he has wanted to leave that village and experience something truly grand in one of those two big cities.He never knew his real family, but his foster parents took care of him and the rest of the village orphans with great care.When he was still fairly young a band of mercenaries passed by his village. These men, all former officers in the Militia of Nesiah, trained Elias as if he was their new prodigy. He learned tactics and strategy from their best men, and his weapon skills grew as if inspired by some extra-worldly force.From the time he was abandoned by the mercenaries until now, Elias has been continuing his training. He carries a notebook full of battle tactics––sketches upon sketches of maneuvers and strategies, each one ready to be used in combat.-What's his personality? Why is he an adventurer?Elias has strived for a long time to not be what people expect of him as a Tiefling. The introverted and untrusting, slightly evil, Tiefling is what Elias does not want to be. While it does take him time to develop trust in someone other than himself, he does try harder than most of his kind.Occasionally, though, he does have "episodes" of internalised anger, releasing it at anything and anyone near him in controlled bursts.Perhaps by leaving his home and joining this strange Guild, Elias might have a chance to really develop his own reputation. Perhaps people will, when they see him, think "There's that one Tiefling. The one I know I can trust." Perhaps it's a childish or meaningless goal to some, but to Elias, it's imperative.-Any hooks or plot devices you'd like to include will be consideredElias wants to make a name for himself not only amongst Humans and the mass of people in Nesiah, but also before The Council of Peace.He also wants to meet back up with the band of mercenaries that abandoned him barely any closer to Nesiah than he was when they found him. (Abandoned by his parents and his mentors, the mercenaries, it's a difficult task for Elias to not be vindictive and untrusting.)[/sblock]</blockquote>
