Bio: Riki is both a good hunter as well as an exceptional Botanist among her small community of Elves. She grew up in that small community, in the middle of a dense forest, far from all other civilization. She longed to leave, explore and seek out new things, especially plants. When she turned 17 she left her village and began explore the reaches of the world, cataloging all new species of plants she came across. But the world was only so big, and by the age of 26, she’d come to realize that there was nothing else to discover. In her 9 years abroad, she refined her hunting abilities as to provide for herself and lower the cost of her lengthy expedition. After returning home, she quickly put together an encyclopedia of all that she’d found. Two years later she heard of the portal that lead to a new world. Within minutes, she had her things packed and set off to put in her application to be a part of this grand adventure into a strange new land. She doesn't know for sure why she was chosen to go through the portal, but if she had to hazard a guess, she would assume it was for her supposed expertise in botany. Skills: Identifying plants and their various uses. As she always says, it pays to know what can kill you and what can heal you. She’s rather good with a bow and arrow, as that’s the easiest way to hunt. She can produce crude hunting snares. Also, she knows the basics of how to wield a dagger. Magic: Riki has an elemental ability. She can create fire; however, her flames are no bigger than the size of a baseball. She has no control over it once it leaves her hand and it usually dies out within seconds. She has no desire to use the ability for violence and uses it solely as a torch in dark places or to light fires for her camp. Equipment: A bow and quiver of sturdy arrows. Her encyclopedia. A small dagger. A small satchel of special plants with various healing properties. Another small satchel with some snare materials. And a new note book with some charcoal, a quill and ink, so she can catalogue new plants. Other: Even though Riki spent many years abroad and met many different kinds of people, she still has a very blunt way of speaking. She says what she means and doesn’t particularly care if she offends someone or not. [/hider]
