Biography (Please make this at least 2 paragraphs long. This must include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.):

Looking back to when things... I had a simple life, my father was a noble, My mother, well I don’t know who she really was.

But my father, he would tell me of distant lands, and the races living there. The Orcs in the nation of Krugmar, the Dwarves in the halls of Kal’Urguan,and the Humans in the Kingdom of Oren. As I grew older I began reading more and more about the different races and there lands. The harsh desert lands of Krugmar, halls of Kal’Urguan, and the under ground cities, The villages of Oren.

I stopped having the will for learning for about 2 years. During those two years I would go to the highest tree, all the way to the top, every day. Then I started trying to get a better thrill, At that time jumping from tree to tree just gave me it.

I guess I would have stopped when I was older, but at age of 18 and being an Elf I had a few years to go. Sadly, during one of my thrill rides I was clipped by an arrow. I fell about 10 feet to the ground. I don’t know how, but I survived the fall. The owner of the arrow walked up to me and grabbed me. I figured I was going to die at that time. Then every thing went black. I awoke in my bed with an unfamiliar face above mine. Then my fathers face was there to. Every thing was explained to me... “When I was hit by the arrow a was knocked out of a tree, He said, I fell a great distance. The human that shot me carried me to my home.” The human must have stayed for a while he had some elven clothing on. He said his name was Andy. I asked him why he shot me. “I thought you were a fugitive.” is what he said.

Few days later I was able to walk, then run, finally jump. I grabbed my sword but couldn’t lift it off the ground. I could not use my sword! At the time I thought I was going to die but the human grabbed me by my left shoulder and whispered in my ear “ A bow weight is less.” For about one year Andy taught me every thing he knew about shooting. In return, I taught him how to read. Andy and I became great friends in that year. When he left to return to Oren, I didn’t stop shooting... tried to become better at shooting than every body that was elven. Also, now that I have met an other race, I wanted to meat even more of the humans. After learning from the humans, I would go to the orcs or dwarves. I set off on my adventure when I was 22.

Being really nice I am easy to talk to, Being curious I tend to get in to trouble a lot. My orange eyes and blood red hair, much like my ancestors brother, Urguan.

I am tall about 5 foot & 11 inches, and tanned from travels. Wrinkles around my mouth, and under my eyes. I will do things that benefit myself, very selfish. When it comes to the greater good... I suddenly change. I know want I want, I will get what I want. Even if a have to wait for it. If I get tricked I don’t make the same mistake.

Learn from the other races of Aegis, and get better with Bow.
