[hider=Gaelin][IMG]http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n491/Iloveanime1019/half%20elf.png[/IMG] Name: Gaelin Dawynn Element: fire; his mark manifests as the shape of flames, located directly on the palm of his hand Race: half-elf Religion: Metsastys, as well as Sota Age: 163 Looks: Gaelin is 6’1”, with the build of a hunter and warrior. His eyes have a steeled look, appearing constantly calculating and ever watchful. Rarely is he seen without gloves on. He looks a bit rough around the edges, beard he grows, while never getting very long, has a disorderly appearance, as well as his hair. Personality: Gaelin is a hard man, he doesn’t get along easily with others. He despises humans, his view on them twisted, but faces rejection from the elves as well. He has been on his own a large majority of his life, sustaining himself without help from the outside world. He is extremely hard working, having a firm knowledge of having to work to gain what you would like. Everything he has, he has gotten on his own. He has protected himself by creating a shell around his actual self, which has been locked down for so long, he struggles remembering. His trust is an extremely hard thing to gain, but if a person can manage, they will forever have a strong and unforgiving ally. Nation you come from: muratti Background: Gaelin was born in Muratti, to an elven mother. He was never truly loved, his conception the result of a forced moment between drunk men while she was staying in Lempea. However, his mother could not find it within her to abandon the child to the unforgiving wild, where he would undoubtfully die. His mother, however, managed to engrain in his head that humans were barbaric, evil, and never to be trusted. Gaelin grew up disgusted at half of himself. When his mark had appeared, fear rippled through his mother, but she stayed strong for an extended period of time. Until, when he was sixteen, guards came through. Him and his mother quickly left, and Gaelin was left in a dark area of the forest, and his mother left again to return to the town. His mother never showed. Days later when he returned, his mother was nowhere to be seen and his house was burned. What information he was able to gather, led to unfortunate decision that he was alone. The elves where he lived pushed him away, refused to help, now that his mother was gone he had no reason to be here. So, Gaelin left, going into a secluded area in the forest, where he built himself a basic shelter. As time passed, he learned more of how to survive in the wild, building himself a hut. He learned how to hunt, he taught himself how to use the shadows, the movement of the trees and bushes to keep himself safe. He hunted for food and money, selling what he didn’t need in order to buy things he did. He had occasionally robbed humans that would come through, giving him extra revenue. Time passed slowly for Gaelin, but he enjoyed being alone, he was safer that way. Over the years he taught himself his power, what he could do, attempting to be able to use his power the best he could, as well as his use of a sword and bow. During one of the trips for extra revenue, he heard from the travellers about a rebellion forming, and he decided to see.
