Roarke and Theyo Ulkarys, Born in the year 1685 to Mother Lilita Ulkarys, are rare twins borne to a dark elf mother from an unknown human father. Throughout childhood, they advanced in growth as any young dark elves. However, as they grew, their hair began to darken and they were strangely short for their tall elfin family. Identical twins whom were so, achingly close to each other to be able to communicate with only a glance and had done Everything together since before birth, they thought nothing of this darkening of hair. Although their Mother shared the white hair of her typical heritage, they had familial ancestry that lent darker haired elves in their ancestral lines. Extremely proud and very prejudiced, this family praised the ancestors above all, and rejected any bloodline addition to their family that could be traced to an ancestor that worshiped the dark trinity, or any religion other than their own. Due to this, they began a practice of inbreeding in some of the familial circles. This, led to a rise in mental illness and birth defects due to inbreeding in the family. Their mother, was a product of this and had much difficulty understanding right from wrong. This inability eventually led to her forcing herself on a drunken human in a moment of curiosity, resulting in her pregnancy with her sons. The Human Man moved on along trading routes after wards, and is this far, unknown. At this time, the entire family believed themselves above others n a snobbish way, despite being generally disliked by the populace of Caras Eldar, the jewel of elven dominion. Soon after their 17th birthday, the darkening of hair became long shocks of vibrant ginger and crimson in Theyo and Roarke, which was a distinctly human color unseen in their familial lineage. Realizing for the first time of their own true parentage, the twins stuck close together and generally stopped speaking for another year, relying solely on eachother as the news was largely hidden by cutting of their hair. On an evening soon after their 18th birthday, their red hair cuttings were discovered by their grandfather whom immediately realize their parentage, leading to a mass mob of their family chasing them out of their home as they were embarrassed by the scandal and struck them from the family name. Their Mother abandoned and rejected them as her children to preserve her familial connections. She, took her dagger and slashed Roarke's ear clean off, resulting in a scar wrapping around the top of his head and one rounder ear. She did this in desperation to preserve her place in the family, and said she was ridding the twins of their 'Elven heritage, unbefitting the sons of man'. Taking only the clothes and weapons they wore at the time, which included two bows, a quiver half full of arrows and two dark elven crafted swords, they migrated to Arcas to find refuge from their family whom was now intent on their death. After a few years of living in the wastelands, they encountered a patrol of high elves whom found their mixed heritage distasteful. The encounter left Theyo with a deep wound, leading to blood poisoning. This, a trait that his human heritage left him vulnerable to unfortunately ended his life. Roarke, in misery without his other half, his twin, remains a homeless wanderer. He lives primarily in wastelands and wildlands, taking frequent trips to sutica to trade goods and maintain his sanity with the occasional interaction. His past with both dark and high elves, causes him to e very prejudiced against thm, to which he will refuse to generally spea with them without a very good cause and even then he comes off as rude to many. He is generally disliked due to his attitude. As a half blood, he will very, Very likely never have a child, and he will only live for 150 years. He has an aversion to speaking, but will say his mind in a crude and honest way when he feels its neccesary. He worships his ancestors as he firmly believes his beloved brother has become one, and often prays and makes shrines to him. Prone to joint overextension, another hiccup from imbreeding, Roarke calls himself Rory to dissociate with both his human and elven heritage and he lives his life as a guard for hire. Trained from a young age in the art of swordsmanship by his family, he gives these skills freely as he can and uses his archery skills he learnt from Theyo on the road to Arcas, he is a skilled hunter. Though he uses no magic and thinks himself incapable, he still finds ways to help those around him. Also, he refuses to acknowledge or use his last name, as he was disowned by his family and he blames them for Theyo’s death.
