Soz

We have met! We bumped into each other when I was on my way out of Laurelin. :D

Date: July 29th 9:33pm Location: Oren After weeks of hunting on the lands between Laurelin and Elvindale, I decided I wanted to see more of world. I have decided to offer my services as a courier for the inhabitants of Aegis. I soon heard word from an Orc in Oren who needed my assistance. I rejoiced, as this journey would give me reason to travel such a great distance. I am now in a lovely human hotel in the city of Oren, waiting to meet up with the Orc, Lord Rasta. I have already met some friendly locals; one is a woodelf who seems he wants to return with me to Elvindale to be among elves again. I couldn't imagine living with humans and their treeless towns. I must get some rest now, for I have a long journey tomorrow to Montego.

I think that would help fit /tell in. ;]

I've done a few courier related jobs already, so there are people willing to pay for such a thing in order to RP. It's quite a fun job I must add, but you need to know your way around!

Which is why I wish to work small jobs with merchants, townsfolk, and etc to work up my reputation and knowledge of the geography. =]

(( I will be updating this as my character progresses! =] You can find my biography here: http://www.lordofthecraft.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=6530 )) Date: July 28th 4:14pm Location: Elvindale I arrived in Laurelin about one Elven week ago, where I was greeted by Prince Native himself! I was amazed by my good fortune. He gave me a few gifts of food and weapons before he introduced me to another Wood Elf, Aeowinn. Aeowinn invited me to join him on his journey back to where he was building a new town, known as Elvindale home of the Elder Tree. I have already fit in amongst it's small inhabitants. I tasked my self with finding other Wood Elves willing to join our community while hunting the animals of the land.

Name: Soz Title: Gender: Female Age: 25 Race: Wood Elf Occupation: Archer Hobbies: Hunting and book writing History: (( Expanding on the bio from my application... ))) Soz grew up in The Wild with the two most influential people - her parents. Her father Elderin was, in Soz's eyes, the world's greatest archer. He could move through the Dark Trees unseen and hit is mark yards away. Soz's mother, Roca, was one of the most kind and beautiful women one would ever know. Together, the three of them prospered in the forest while living off the land's natural gifts. It was a simple life and all that Soz could ever ask for, but it was too good to last. One day, Elderin went hunting and left the other two at home, oblivious to the roaming bandits approaching. Roca heard their shouts from afar and quickly hid Soz under her bed. Before Roca could hide herself, the bandits burst it. At first they only demanded of valuables, but they soon realized this beautiful Elf was home alone. The two strongest bandits tried to have their way with her, but Soz's mother would never without a fight. They wrestled about the house and the bandits eventually grew irritated of Roca's will. They stumbled into Soz's room and pinned her to the floor. The bandits put a dagger through Roca's heart, right in front of young Soz. As she watched her mother's life slowly fade away, Soz couldn't keep the tears in any more. With the bandits aware of her presence, they tried to grab her from under the bed. Just as one bandit was got on the floor, an arrow nailed his hand to the floor. Screaming in pain, the three others looked around wildly with their weapons drawn. Another bandit suddenly dropped, with an arrow in his head. That remaining two decided they didn't want to stick around to see where the arrows were coming from and fled the house. Moments, Elderin appeared from the forest with an arrow notched in his bow, pointed at the fleeing bandits. They were almost to trees when he released the arrow that flew flawlessly through the air making its mark. The last bandit gave a backwards glance at his fallen comrade before disappearing into the dense forest. With a disappointed look, Elderin turned and came into his home. Only to find his daughter crying and his wife dead on the floor. He knelt by Roca's cradling Soz in his arms for a long time. She spent the rest of her childhood learning from her father; how to wield the bow and become one with the forest. Her father taught her of stealth and what wood to make the best arrows. After years of diligence and hard work, Soz had become a fearsome Archer. Elderin was proud of how far his daughter had come and more so that she was following in his footsteps. Then finally, came the time of Elderin's passing as his age had finally caught up with him leaving Soz only with memories and the skills of an Archer. The rest is to be written...
