[sblock=Backstory]Arawn was born in a small wooded valley in the shadow of the Telbore Mountains. The elf community that lived there were long established, living in harmony with the area and choosing to keep their population low to avoid using up the natural resources. Despite occasional raids from local goblinoid tribes, life was largely peaceful. The people of Treehaven were resourceful and well-trained, and during the Golden Age they flourished.
All of this ended upon the Dawning of the Age of Trial. An incursion of giants poured down the mountain in a wave, destroying Treehaven and leaving only a few survivors. Arawn was one of them - at the time, he was away questing with his companions, seeking to stop further attacks in other parts of the world. Returning to his home after hearing reports that it had been destroyed, Arawn screamed his pain into the sky...
...and someone answered. The (yet to be determined Deity of Nature/Weather) heard his plea and his pain, and spoke to him. After this conversation, Arawn was changed. He became a Stormwalker, a living embodiment of the destructive power of nature and of storms. He stalks the world, bring death to those that would disrupt the natural order of the world. Immortals, undead, abominations - anything that comes from beyond the world is his to cast back there. He is not one for conversation, diplomacy, or threats. He acts as he sees fit, raining down lightning and thunder to destroy them.
Upon hearing of the power of the Dragon Egg, Arawn seeks it for himself. If the Egg can be hatched, he seeks a companion to work with. If it's a source of power, he intends to use it. Should it be something else - he will make a decision.
The most lasting event of Arawn's life was when he battled the Storm Giant Magog in his mountain-top lair, finally defeating him and casting his body to the ground, far below. As the victor, he was able to take Magog's prized possession - the Thunderstrike Diamond.
Drawn on by visions and guidance from the powers of nature, Arawn began to use the Gem to augment his own impressive powers. Eventually, he and the Gem fused into one, and as a result his eyes turned the color of diamond, blank and intimidating.
Arawn founded the Stormwalker Order, and lead the continent wide group of Nature Priests. The group have no unifying goals other than to keep the worship of nature strong amongst all races, and to keep everyone in a state of healthy respect for the powers of the natual world. Using the Tree Strike ritual, Arawn was able to move quickly across the continent, acting as a visible face for a religion that still suffered a lot of persecution at the hands of those that consider themselves more 'civilised'. Arawn helped design and build the elves forest-based homes, harnessing the power of lightning into magical energy that provided light and heat.
Over time, the Stormwalker Order moved from being a teaching order, to a war order - perhaps ineveitable since they were founded by someone who could shake the mountains with his rages. As the Age of Darkness came, the Stormwalkers were passionate defenders of the elves, the humans and the eladrin, hurling lightning into the foes that assaulted them. Arawn himself disappeared during this time, and legend has it that he fell in battle against a massive goblinoid force. However, his body was never found...
Description: Arawn is an average sized male elf with long blond hair and blank, diamond colored eyes. When he uses lightning based powers, his hair has a tendency to stand up a little around him, as it does when his emotions run high. His voice ranges from quiet and forceful, up to a booming shout that echoes off nearby walls and shakes birds from their trees.
He wears a suit of high quality Hide armour, with a cloak wrapped around it. The cloak is the color of a thundercloud, dark grey and brooding. He walks with the aid of his Staff of Storms, a powerful item that further increases his own natural lightning throwing abilities.[/sblock][/sblock]
This is simply a thread for me to have as reference for pbp characters. Nothing much else to see here. Move along.
Although, should anyone want to critique them I'd be interested.

The group have no unifying goals other than to keep the worship of nature strong amongst all races, and to keep everyone in a state of healthy respect for the powers of the natual world. Using the Tree Strike ritual, Arawn was able to move quickly across the continent, acting as a visible face for a religion that still suffered a lot of persecution at the hands of those that consider themselves more 'civilised'. Arawn helped design and build the elves forest-based homes, harnessing the power of lightning into magical energy that provided light and heat.
Over time, the Stormwalker Order moved from being a teaching order, to a war order - perhaps ineveitable since they were founded by someone who could shake the mountains with his rages. As the Age of Darkness came, the Stormwalkers were passionate defenders of the elves, the humans and the eladrin, hurling lightning into the foes that assaulted them. Arawn himself disappeared during this time, and legend has it that he fell in battle against a massive goblinoid force. However, his body was never found...
Description: Arawn is an average sized male elf with long blond hair and blank, diamond colored eyes. When he uses lightning based powers, his hair has a tendency to stand up a little around him, as it does when his emotions run high. His voice ranges from quiet and forceful, up to a booming shout that echoes off nearby walls and shakes birds from their trees.
He wears a suit of high quality Hide armour, with a cloak wrapped around it. The cloak is the color of a thundercloud, dark grey and brooding. He walks with the aid of his Staff of Storms, a powerful item that further increases his own natural lightning throwing abilities.[/sblock][/sblock]
This is simply a thread for me to have as reference for pbp characters. Nothing much else to see here. Move along.
Although, should anyone want to critique them I'd be interested.
