LeonVon — Roleplayer Guild

I may have gone a little overboard with the background info. I got an idea and just ran with it. Let me know if anything is too much, too little, or if I need to cut back.

Appearance: Stands around 5'10", seems to be skinny but has fairly taut muscles from years of working with a bow. Green eyes. Messy blonde hair.Wears camo pants and a light brown shirt.

Gender: Male

Name: Samael Lost-Soul

Age: 25

Background Info: Samael Johnsson lived a simple life. His parents were farmers in one of the safer parts of the woods outside the walls, growing beets and radishes to sell at the local market. It wasn't glamorous, but they got by. Samael was all set to follow in his parents footsteps on the family farm, with hopes to start his own farm one day. Unfortunately, his parents were killed in a freak accident when a large old oak tree fell on his house during a storm. Being only 13, Samael was deemed “too young to properly run a beet farm” and a local land baron seized the farm. Samael was put out on his own.

With nowhere to go, Samael wandered the forest. He had heard the many stories of the monsters that roamed the woods, but he no longer cared. He was on his own, his whole world crushed (literally) by a tree. One night while sleeping in a large cave, far from civilization, Samael awoke to find himself hanging upside-down from the tail of a very large and very angry hydra. This seemed to be the end for Samael, and not knowing what to do, he cried. Like a very small child. It would have been embarrassing had he not been about to get eaten.

This would have been the end of Samael Johnsson, had a wood-elf hunting party not come by. They had been out stalking the hydra and taken pity on the young boy, slaying the beast as it was distracted with it’s meal. Hearing his story and feeling sorry for him, they took Samael back to their small settlement. Here Samael gained three important things. First, a home and new name: Lost-Soul. Second, the tools and skills of the wood-elves, such as hunting, archery, and making poisons from natural ingredients found in the woods. And finally, he gained a drinking problem, thanks to the wood-elves and their special homebrews.

After many years with the elves, at the age of 21, Samael left the elven settlement behind. He traveled the lands, hunting what he could and running away from what he couldn’t. A year later though, Samael wanted a home. So he traveled to Kalli and joined the Guild, where he has worked and trained since.

Powers: Bird-Tongue - He’s able to “communicate” with avian creatures. Not truly talking to them, but getting a sense of direction or a very basic understanding. So he can get an idea of the direction of a hunting party or a deer trail, but not specific details.

Weapons: Composite Bow
2 Dozen Arrows
Several small vials of poisons
2 Bolas
A large hunting knife
A small skinning knife

Interesting Equipment: A charm made from the tree that fell on his house. It warns when a nearby tree may fall unexpectedly.

Personality: Normally Samael is a fairly likeable guy. He’s quiet but kind and helpful. He tries to assist younger hirelings with their work and teach them what he knows. Normally he’s curious and enjoys walking through the woods alone. Everythings fine and dandy, except for that small drinking problem. When he drinks, no matter what it is, he gets stubborn and sad. In that order. Luckily the Guild’s cook has learned to hide anything alcoholic so it’s not usually a problem.

Hunter Rank: S

Other: Samael keeps a horse for travel. He also has his going-away present from the wood-elves: A parrot that only speaks in adjectives but is able to sense ghosts and other spectral beings. It’s a mixed blessing.
