Occupation: Student Skills: Running, hiding, climbing, sneaking, magic and foraging. Powers: Strong elemental magic, specifically he focuses on manupulating earth and plants. At the moment he can do things like clusters of earth around and bend plants and tree branches, he is currently learning to accelerate growth and move bigger chucks. Inventory: A training staff he uses to focus his magic that looks like a long branch with a green gem on top. A green hooded cloak that's perfect for blending in amongst the trees. History: Long ago when the wrath of the gods fell upon the land humans and elves fled to escape. Keyton's ancestors were amount these, they reached the safe heaven of the village and though traditionally staying apart the reducing population of each race made them eventually come together. Keyton is among the first children of this inter racial breeding. Since a young age the half elf has had a fascination with magic, his mother, an elf who works as a scholar in the library, encouraged this and granted him access to his ancestor's arcane knowledge. His father often took him out into the woods and taught him to forage, the boy also learnt to climb trees and observe which plants and fruits were edible. School was never Keyton's strong suit, with magic and foraging practise at home he much prefers to spend his time socialising and playing with other students. In his free time he does much the same, often unintentionally ending up in trouble when he accidentally knocks over a trader's table in a game of tag or sneaks into the guardian's HQ during a game of hide and seek. Keyton admires the guardians, ever since he first saw them safeguarding the village he knew that he wanted to be one and that is what he intends to do when he becomes an expert in magic. Point of Interest: Tall-tree park. An ancient clearing just north of the main village, encircled by small stones the clearing contains several massive oak trees that stretch high above the rest of the surrounding forest, each easily 40 ft tall with dozens of branches. The park is popular amount residents of all ages, it's a fairly tranquil place where people often go either to relax, study and converse. The place is also enjoyed by the children of the village, the wide open space is perfect for playing games and running around.
