Full Name: Elibar’Maehr Emberwood
Age: 150
Sub-race (if any): High elf
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long):
During her childhood, Elibar’Maehr Emberwood lived with her parents in Malinor, learning all she could about High elven culture. Her parents, Malwen and Annith seemed to be proud upstanding members of society, and were determined for her to be the same. Because of this, she is very conscious of herself when interacting with other races. When she was only 70, her parents were convicted of beconing too friendly to a Bortu, and as a result were banished to the harbour district to live with the other races. Elibar’Maehr was then sent to live with her aunt in Haelun’or.
She enjoys debating and would prefer a battle of wit to combat any day, but will defend herself if necessary using her skills with the bow. Elibar’Maehr dresses elegantly at all times but is unusual in the fact that she dyes her hair blue, as a sign of self expression and as a symbol of her connection to nature. Now at age 150, she spends most of her days in the Haelun’or college and various libraries, following the pursuit of knowledge. Elibar’Maehr endeavours to redeem her family name and to further her education for the betterment of the high elven community.
Ambitions for the Future: Elibar’Maehr endeavours to redeem her family name and to further her education for the betterment of the high elven community.
Personality: Elibar’Maehr is studious, inquisitive and creative; she sometimes questions the actions of the older Mali’aheral but never says anything. She is also a bit more tolerant than most high elves. She doesn’t look to start arguments but sometimes her questioning gets her in trouble.
Appearance:
Skills: Being one of the Mali’aheral, her greatest asset would be her sharp mind; however she is a fair shot with the bow as well.Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin):Any other details you wish to share about your character: Although she longs for her parents, she accepts that she can never see them again if she wishes to fit in and be accepted.
Open-Response-Questions Each question in this section must be answered with a minimum of one paragraph which must describe the event in full. Please be as descriptive as possible and do not break character or lore at any point.
1. As you walk through the deep forests you hear the sound of whispering and snickering. Upon inspection you realize that a group of High Elves are mocking a small Wood Elf child. How do you react? Answer: I hide behind a tree to have a look at the scene, as I peek around the trunk I see three particular high elves, these three, Cay’leh, Taelya and Raea are well known for their superior attitude and enjoyment of picking on those lower than them. Although I feel that they shouldn’t be mocking the wood elf, if I stepped in, I would likely have been mocked as well. I quickly skirt around the area and continue on my way, but can’t help feeling guilty for not helping the poor Mali’ame child.
2. Whilst wandering through the Elven forests you come across a frail old man with a walking stick. He collapses in front of you, falling to the ground with a sharp thud. Out of his pocket falls a small pouch of gold coins, which hits the ground and splits open spreading coins across the pathway. The man lies there, defenceless - what do you do? Answer: Ever conscious of my High elf status, I begin to help pick up the old man’s money and give it back to him “T-thank y-y-you” he mutters, attempting to stand back up. As I help him up, I ask him where he is going; he replies “I'm going to the harbour district to visit some friends of mine, Malwen and Annith. Taken aback by this, I ask him to tell them their daughter is okay, and then quickly send him on his way. Once I’m alone I start sobbing quietly, wishing I could see them again.
3. Whilst traversing the Elven Woodlands, you come across a small clearing in which a colored carriage sits. A trader stands outside of it and calls you over, telling you of his wares. He points out that his carriage sells just about everything, and that he's willing for you to haggle for a price. What does your character do? (Please include: - item, haggling for prices and the discussion involved). Answer: Once I spotted the small carriage, I became excited, my parents used to take me to places like these. “Karin’ayla Mali’ame!” I greet the trader. “Would you like to buy something Mali? My carriage sells just about anything!” He boasts. As I start looking through his wares, I spot a small amethyst necklace. Amethyst. My mother’s favourite stone. “How much for this?” I ask, glad that I found the dainty item. “100 minas” he says “although I am willing to haggle”. “would I be able to have it for 50?” I ask. The wood elf, seeing that I’m desperate for this necklace, says “What about 70? That's the best I can do today”. “Okay, fine” I say “Van’ayla Mali’ame, nice doing business with you”
