Give us a highlight of their past:- Briar was born to Wisteria Ophiuchus and Eldin Ophiuchus, who dwelled in the Silver Quarter of Annil'sul. His mother was from a long line of mages, and she was expected to be the strongest that the family had ever seen. She studies her family's books for years, but when she went to begin learning, she was turned away, and was told that her arcane power would never be sufficient to be a true mage. Briar's father was a skilled Enchanter, and spent months consoling her with enchanted gifts, like a singing mirror. Eventually, she seemed to recover, upon learning that she was going to have a son. Though she seemed to go about her everyday life, Wisteria was delving into the dark arts of Necromancy and Contract Magic, desperate to increase her power. One day, Wisteria approached Eldin with a request. She wanted him to sign a contract in blood. She claimed it was to test her power, to see if the mage had been right about her. Eldin caved in to his wife's demands, and signed without reading. What he didn't know was that the terms of the contract that he would follow her anywhere. She lead him out to her cottage in the forest, and killed him, hoping to steal his soulstone and use it to gain her dead husband's powers. But Wisteria received nothing, much to her fury. Later, she gave birth to Briar, who she wished was a girl, so brought him up as a girl, and got him girls clothing. But after ten years, her foul acts of magic were discovered, and she was chased out of the city. She took refuge in the house  in the forest where she'd practiced her dark arts for years, abandoning her son, then traveled north in search of stronger magic, leaving her diary behind. A few years later, Briar was arrested, and tried for his mother's crimes. He was sentenced to death, and was also exiled from Haelun'or. Then he awoke in the Cloud Temple.
What are they like?:- Briar is a gentle person usually, but isn't afraid to fight to protect what he cares about. His mother raised him as a girl, so he's a little unusual sometimes. He's inherited his mother's interest in the magical arts, but not her insanity or her obsession.  He loves nature, but never really acquired the superior attitude of the High Elves due to his unusual childhood and subsequent exile/execution.  He's nervous and fidgety, and lacks confidence.
What are their ambitions?:- Briar's ambitions in life are to help wherever he can, and has decided the best way to do that is to become an Alchemist. However, his fear of his mother, and of persecution, drives him to seek arcane knowledge that will help him defend himself.
Do they have any special skills? What are their weaknesses?:- Briar is good with plants, and loves to help people, he's very empathic. He's also terrified of spiders, and has low self esteem and is easily startled. He tends to freeze up in high-pressure situations, or to run.
Give us a description of what they look like?:- Briar has pale, silvery hair that is long and hangs down the side of one face, and wears somewhat feminine robes due to the way his mother raised him.
