[hider=Karuhar the Scholar]
[b]Full Name and Aliases (if any):[/b] Karuhar 'the Scholar'

[b]Race:[/b] Asur (High Elf)

[b]Homeland:[/b] While Lothern and their wider Kingdom of Eataine are perhaps the most famous Elvish kingdom to outsiders of Ulthuan, there can be no doubt that it is the hardy folk of coastal Cothique who [b]truly[/b] rule the waves around the island-nation and beyond – it is from within these sea-soaked borders that Karuhar hails, the wanderlust bred into him by his people and seafaring ancestors more-or-less guaranteeing that he could not remain on Ulthuan forever.

[b]Faith:[/b] The High Elf pantheon is Karuhar's religious foundation, as a student of magic and seeker of knowledge he worships above others Hoeth the Lord of Wisdom, and as an Elf from the seafaring kingdom of Cothique he is extremely well acquainted with Mathlann, the Lord of the Deeps.

[b]Sex:[/b] Male (though he's an Elf, so it's hit or miss really)

[b]Appearance:[/b] Karuhar matches quite well to the popular image of a High Elf, being at least a head taller than most humans, possessed of a willowy body type and slender shape, and being almost impossible to tell the gender of at first glance because of his sharp and quite androgynous facial features.

What sets him apart somewhat is his long brown hair, something unfamiliar to most humans, who would probably assume all Asur are blonde and blue-eyed, this isn't helped by his almost solid black eyes that give him an alien appearance and a seemingly bottomless gaze.

Sometimes the scholar may seem somewhat effeminate, his movements graceful to the extreme, and his speech measured and precise, but he is no pushover psychically and there are many who made the error of misjudging him and regretting it... those that lived anyway.

[b]The Bait:[/b] Cothique can be seen amongst the Elves to be the most outward facing of all the islands kingdoms, the mariners of that half-sunken realm traversing the globe in enchanted vessels of purest white, more to hunt their enemies and for exploration than the tradesmen of Lothern commonly seen in Marienburg or Altdorf.

Karuhar was born amidst these audacious people, spending the first century or so of his life accompanying his father, brothers and uncles on seafaring voyages and seeing much of the world, only bringing it all to an end when a desire for deep knowledge took him – something that could only be found in the magical realm of Saphery and the Tower of Hoeth.

For the next two  and a half centuries he expanded his mind and his burgeoning magical abilities with the mages and intellectuals of the Tower, gaining a thorough grounding in Elvish sorcery (otherwise known as 'High' or 'True' Magic, sometimes referred to as the lore of Qhaysh) that would make most human mages seem inexperienced at the least, his mental faculties rising simultaneously, with both his skills-at-arms and further magical training leaving something to be worked on.

It was in his three-hundredth-and-fifty-second year that he was given the opportunity to travel to the Old World with a coterie of other Asur, by decree of the Phoenix King himself, in order to judge the current situation there and record all he could of the goings on; being a studious observer of peoples, Karuhar was given the task of transcribing whatever anthropological and ethnographic observations he could.

Set sail they did shortly after, arriving in Marienburg on a rain-sodden day, each member of the new arrivals setting about their tasks with gusto!

It was almost pure chance that Karuhar was approached by a cagey individual while resting in Ubersreik, a man who claimed to be part of an organisation dedicated to fighting evil in the Old World wherever it reared its ugly head, offering the [i]young[/i] Elf a chance to join the so-called 'Black Badges'.

Most Asur are 'good' innately, for they have shed more blood defending the world than any others can claim, the scholar-elf well aware of the insipid evils of Chaos and the murderous hordes of the Greenskin menace, Ulthuan having been permanently marked by numerous threats from beyond its shores enough times over, so given the chance to help forestall apparent doom [b]and[/b] work closely with the lesser races at the same time, what else could Karuhar say but yes? 

[b]The Catch:[/b] One may say that Karuhar is the ideal candidate for a clandestine organisation dedicated to fighting the good fight, for he is an Elf first of all, a magic using one at that, and one that can act as mage, warrior or scribe/record keeper when the need comes upon he and his compatriots. He can also speak multiple languages, and is senior to most others at the middle-age of three-hundred-and-fifty-three mortal years, it is hard to see why the Badges would not wish him in their ranks.

[b]Initial Possessions:[/b] In garb and armament this Asur gives off what he considers to be a balance between fighter and student, dressing mostly in an altered bottom layer of white Elvish robes bordered with aquamarine blue – the sleeves tied shut at the wrists, and the calf-length lower half girded by a stout human-made leather belt – his equally loose (some might say baggy or flowing) white trousers tucked into a sturdy pair of knee-high travelling boots. 

Over this he wears a robust Elven cuirass, the shoulder guards curving out to protect those vulnerable parts, his limbs left mostly unprotected.

Over all of [b]this[/b] he will wear a brown hooded travelling cloak if the need or the weather calls for it, it being human made and something of a sentimental keepsake from his initial landing in Marienburg and his first step into the Old World.

In terms of weapons and equipment he carries little, making do with a strong but slender longsword at his waist, a simple staff of wood topped with an artists rendition of a Black Leviathan head in gold and with a bronze spike at the bottom, as well as several reams of replaceable parchment and basic writing tools strapped to his person usually carried on his back or at his side.

Unlike many Asur, at least those in Ulthuan, he makes do with tying his shoulder-length hair into a simple ponytail with a strip of leather engraved with Eltharin lettering. 

[b]Current Possessions:[/b] For now, mirrored with the above.
