Noldor Elf

First Post
I try to illustrate my idea of a new character by couple of situations. My problem is, that I have quite clear idea what kind of character I want, but no clear idea about the race of the character.

Meeting with the party:
As the party is travelling through the forest area they notice a person sitting by the road. He is wrapped himself on deep purple rope with hood over his head. The party rein in their horses and approach the sitting man.
Druid (normally face of the party): "What are you doing here stranger?"
Man: "I am waiting"
Druid: "What are you waiting for?"
Man: "I am wating for a sign. For here I met my mark and now is my mark dead. There will be a sign to show me, where I will find my new mark."
The man gets up and the cloak sway away from him, showing that he is clad in strage and heavy looking armour. On his belt hang two empy scabbards.
Druid: "You seem to have lost your weapons, strager?"
Man: "My mark is dead and buried, with my mark I buried my swords. As I have no longer my mark, I carry no longer my weapons."

To arms
Further down the road the party is ambushed by group of drow. First drow fighter hits the wizard of the party hard on the breast.
The stranger rushes to the battle, insulting the drows and demanding them to leave his mark alone. A blade appears to his hand out of nowhere and he engage the drow fighter, forcing him further off from the wizard.
After the battle the scabbards of the stranger remain empty. He refers all the party members by name, it seems as if he had never called the wizard his mark. Still he stays perhaps a bit closer to the wizard most of the time.

I thought Aasimar fit well because someone who buries his weapons with his "mark" seemed more fitting of the Aasimar theme.
 


Whoever the :):):):) he is, if I were playing the wizard, I'd get the heck away from him. You can read him as either protecting his mark, or at some foreordained time KILLING his mark... :)

Either way, the word "stalking" leaps to mind. :)

Actually, I think this is cool. Have to agree with the race suggestions already, but it really depends on the world background. Maybe elves take on a holy mission at some time during their lives to protect one of the "ephemeral folk" for a time. Who knows?
 

Feel free to ignore this, but So help me, this is what I'd do.

Play a Gnoll.

You: "I have found my new mark."

Wizard: "Hey, put that leg down!. No! No! Bad Gnoll! Bad Gnoll! I'll rub your nose in this! Oh man, I just got this robe. I'll never get the smell out."

But, you sound more serious
 

I didn't read the list first, so my first instinct was half-elf, owing to the gloom. Second choice would be Human. I don't get how this person would be a Aasimar, or even a Tiefling, but any of the other races could fit.
