Ah, okay, so just a natural figure thing. Gotcha. Well, Elves in folklore tend to be beautiful looking creatures who steal your children and are blood-thirsty creatures. Germanic Folklore is awesome. Go with Half-Elf or Human, whichever you prefer. 

Alright so you basically carry 10 gold on you. 10 Copper > 1 Silver and 10 Silver > 1 Gold. A nice/high amount of pocket change... *Bandits slowly think of robbing you.* Then again, we gave Feig a hard time initially for how much he carried, as the Aristocratic Richie Rich. Maybe knock it down a little. 

Weeks voyage from nearest port town? Aight, so it's pretty close to Rostguard. That'll be useful... or very bad... depending on how things go. 

So you're saying the guild was fairly large? Well I imagine it was quite prominent then in the Isles then. Oooh! Maybe they had NO armies at all, and were forced to rely on just massive amounts of Mercs. Could be neat. Anyway, I'm gonna say it isn't too prominent in Rostguard. 

And ditching cooking set, noted. Please reflect that to your CS if you haven't already. 

Ooooh a sort of MacGuffin locket. Kinda, possibly, not really. Well, thanks for answering that. 

Looks like everything is in order. Welcome aboard! Feel free to post now.
