NAME: Arda
AGE: 246
GENDER: Male
RACE: Elf
APPEARANCE: Stands at five feet twelve inches tall.
Weighs one hundred thirty eight pounds.
Hair colour is sandy blond.
Eyes are crystal blue.
Muscles are well defined.
Skin tone is darker then most of his race - but that is only due to the fact that he is a traveler and is therefore tanned.
PERSONALITY: A major hot-head. Tends to do things without thinking about it first.
He's fairly aggressive for an elf.
Tends to keep to himself for the most part, but that doesn't mean he's totally anti-social. When he needs to discuss something with someone he will - he won't hesitate to do so.
He's ruthless when in battle. He will not let the other party win if he can help it.
Can sometimes come off as a jerk, [=.='] but he really is a nice guy despite the way he might act.
HISTORY: Arda was born as the Ashan'rai [son of the high king] of a far off country known to those who have come across it as the kingdom of Elashta-shiri.
His mother, Malanai, died during child labour.
The day Arda was born, it was prophesied to his father, Ninaste - the current king of Elashta-shiri - that his son would soon grow to one day kill him. Afraid of the future, the king sent a servant to do the job of putting an end to the babe before the prophecy turned into reality. When the servant arrived he could not find the Ashan'rai.
As it turned out, a family of retainers, sworn to protect his mother's family, had taken the elven prince for his protection.
They barely escaped, but when they had, they enjoyed a few years with the boy living in secret.
His adopted father, Deshketai, and adopted brother, Tashen - who is about ten years older than the prince - became more like family to Arda then he could ever have hoped for.
Deshketai taught the young boys all they knew about fighting and sword play.
It wasn't until Arda was the age seven that his life changed. His father had all along scoured to find the boy - still afraid of what might happen if he was allowed to live. The king had caught wind of the child's where-about and sent men to find him. He declared that his son had committed royal treason and had already attempted a murder on the ruler - if only to justify his means to his people.
When the soldiers came upon the three males one day, Deshketai used his life to protect his sons so that they could escape. From there the job of protecting Arda's blood line was placed upon Tashen's shoulders.
Deshketai's death weighs heavily upon the young princes' shoulders. He has always felt at fault, even though Tashen has explained many a time that he does not hold a grudge, nor does he blame Arda for what happened.
As years passed by, the two remained on the run from the king. Ninaste seems reluctant to let the matter go, and it is has driven him to insanity.
Arda and Tashen have traveled very far.
For money, food, or lodgings, the two males usually offer their services as swordsmen to those who may need it. They don't like to stay in one place for too long, and generally leave after a few days.
For the most part, Arda is seen as traveling alone, but what most people don't know is that Tashen stays hidden. He appears now and then only if Arda needs his help and/or protection.
WEAPONRY: Extremely well versed in the art of combat.
Although he understands how to use most weapons, his favoured choice remains the long sword.
Knows basic field medicine.
