Name: Marais Lamente
Race: Sky Elf
Description: Marais confidently stands at 6'3", sporting an athletic build created from years of his martial training as a ranger. His hair is a dark, chocolate-like river that ends above his colour, brightened by the orbs of sky blue that rest symmetrically underneath his crown. His skin is pale, like that of snow, but blood flows freely through his lips, making them smooth and crimson like that of a ripe blood orange.
Biography: For years, Marais was overshadowed by his elder sister. He grew tired of hearing of her progress as a ranger, of how useful she would be to the growing threats outside of the Sky Elven Kingdoms. Marais was always trying to best her, to be seen by his father as more than just 'the second child'. His conviction and desire to prove himself were futile, humiliating him more than aiding in his success. It was when his father called him a disgrace that he truly felt hatred for his family. Thus, he left them, and in search of enlightenment he came to a wizard's academy. Here, he would become something that even his sister could not compete with.
Over the course of many years, Marais developed quite well as an adept sorcerer, being at the top of his class. However, his success made him overconfident. He shed all of his morals, believing them to be a waste of time. It was this overconfidence that lead him to fall in love with one of his mentors - a fatal attraction. This attraction grew, and was soon discovered. His mentor was condemned, for both consorting with a pupil and engaging in a relationship with a male. Marais could not face up to the harsh penalty that would soon follow, so he escaped and fled, abandoning his robes and seeking a greater, freer life as a nomad. During his nomadic years, he became accustom to the way of the ranger and soon dabbled both magic with marksmanship.
Marais is overconfident and shameless, living by his motto 'a long life just means longer fun'. He is rarely caring, seeking pleasure above any form of work, commitment or engagement.

Weapon: Marais' key weapon is his bow, a finely crafted metal beauty adorn by traditional sky elven battle patterns. It is a short, suited for Marias' skirmishing battle style. To accompany his bow, he uses a set of oaken arrows. Oak, he finds, is the perfect conduit for his elemental magic. It is solid and cruises through the winds well, is flammable and counts as an organic material - a suitable choice for magic.
He also wields two longswords, or falcata's. He is not a skilled advocate of these impeccable blades, however, and thus rarely uses them.
Armour: Despite his exile, Marais keeps up with the latest elven combat wear. A plate tunic adorn with elven patterns protects his chest and abdominal area, while the remainder of his armour is an assortment of teal, purple and blue cloth with gold weaving patterns. He wears a flexible leather garment behind his chest plate, which runs to just above his knee's. In battle, he covers his face with a bandanna, which can be seen coiled around his neck.
(that's not a hint... just an example of how un-annoyed I'd be, smiling makes everything better as does randomness!)
