Name: Xulltana
Age: 200 / Appears 20
Race: Elf
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Yellow
Height: 5’5
Weight: 165 lbs
Occupation: Fletcher
Personality:
Being in the military made Xulltana highly disciplined, and highly respectable. Although he no longer serves, what he has learned has traveled with him. Being in the military made Xulltana, learn and respect the use of any skill someone may have, no matter what they use it for. Although, if they use this power for evil, although he respects it, he will end it. Xulltana has a light and carefree attitude after he left his home village, but still keeps the rage and hatred he had been taught. He uses this only in battle when it is needed. Otherwise Xulltana is a friendly person, and a good friend to any one he travels with.
Appearance:
When Xulltana walks anywhere, people usual notice the large amounts of arrows and quivers he carries. This is an odd trait, but he has good reasons. Otherwise, he appears as a normal elf, with the exception of his hair color. Most commonly, elves are known to have blonde hair, he has black. Using a mixture of berry juice, bark, and water, he dies his hair so it’s black. This helps him with blend in with the shadows of the forest, so he can easily pick off his enemy, or prey. He also wears leather armor, and a sash. His leather armor protects most of his body, except his shoulders, letting him get full mobility and movement out of them when shooting. His sash wraps lightly around his neck, and his body, which usually just flutters in the wind.
Skills:
Marksmanship: Xulltana has a great shot with the bow, but no other kind of projectile, or thrown weapon. He has spent his life training in the use of the bow, with a few training sessions with any other kind of weapon. He can fire at long, and short range, making his shooting ability better than most.
But compared to other who have used their bow in real combat, Xulltana has an average skill. The flow of combat throws off his aim.
Swordsmanship: While using most of his time to train in the use of his bow, he has very little time to train in the use of any melee weapons. So far, he has never needed to use swordsman ship, even while training.
For the neglecting of melee training, Xulltana has a below average skill when using melee weaponry.
Speed: Xulltana has become use to running away from enemies so he can fire upon them from a distance. He has a higher endurance then most people. He can also run about one and half times faster then most regular people.
Elven Traits: Xulltana’s keen sight and bigger ears give him a bonus to certain things. He can see farther then a human in a low light situation, and can also hear better then most.
Magic Fletchery: Xulltana has made many sacrifices when coming training in his fletching. But with sacrifices comes great success. Besides being able to create regular arrows, he can create others, even magical ones. (Each type of arrow will be described under equipment.)
Equipment:
Steel Bladed Yew Composite Longbow: This is Xulltana’s primary weapon. He uses this most often from long range, and too short range as well. The yew part of the bow houses thin sharp blades that he uses as a bladed weapon when opponents get too close.
Arrows: These are just common arrows. These ones are tip with steel heads. (Carries 40)
Dragon’s Breathe Arrows: The bottom part of the arrow is built normally; the top is the unique part. The arrowhead has been modified so it’s hollow with whistle like holes in the top. The inside is filled with a dab of alchemist’s fire. When fired, air enters the whistle holes, igniting the alchemist’s fire inside, in turn, igniting the arrow. When it hits it target, they are pierced with the arrow head, with a chance to catch on fire. Crafting one takes Xulltana about two days. He has to be sure to be very careful as to not ignite the alchemist’s fire when putting it in the arrow head. (Carries five)
Blunt Arrows: The shaft of the arrow is normal, but has no arrow head. Instead of the usual shard arrow tip, this one is blunt that is wrapped in leather. Instead of piercing an enemy, it instead does non-lethal damage. If hit hard enough in the head, it could easily knock out a person. Crafting one takes only a few hours, but he has to have access to the proper equipment. (Carries five)
Ice Arrow: His only created magic arrow. Using a magic stone (very rare to find), he can imbue an arrow with the power of the stone. This Ice Arrow, has a chance to freeze an opponent, and often harms creatures made of fire, instead of burning. Crafting one take a long time of concentrated work. Ranging from a week – two, these are rare for Xulltana to come upon, and even craft properly. (Carries none, has to use it.)
Backpack: A common backpack most adventurers have. Xulltana’s backpack has more straps so nothing will fall out while he is running.
Waterskin: Xulltana carries a water skin, which he fills often so he’ll never run out of water.
Alchemist’s Fire: A substance that ignites then it touches air. (Carries 5)
History: Xulltana was born in a highly mystical, and military based clan of elves. Most people find elves to be frail, but extremely smart and agile, this warring state of elves used this to their advantage. Mixing weapons with magic, they easily come out on top of any enemy that threatens their small community.
At the age of thirty, Xulltana was soon taught the history of his peoples. Learning quickly that war was all they had. Soon after, he was drilled in the ways of the military, and magic. Though, preferring the military approach, he dropped all magical studies, and focused only on the military. Testing out different means of arming himself, his true talent came through in the bow. And his ability to craft arrows. His first shine through ability with crafting arrows was a random idea that came through his mind one day. He tried the idea, and it just so happened to work. He soon focused on both military and fletching.
But even this, didn’t hold his attention when he received ‘no action’ being in the military. Taking his years of training, and his weapon with him, Xulltana hit the road, in hopes his training would be put to use. Unfortunately, it did. It seemed odd to him that the closer he got to a mountain cavern, the hotter it got. He entered carefully, only to find a weird magical beast inside, made completely of fire. When the beast spotted him, Xulltana knew nothing, or even what to do. The creature approached and easily smashed Xulltana a few feet back. This was the only time he had to act. Knocking the arrow that seemed cold to the touch, he fired blindly into the mass of walking fire. But the beast seemed not affected by it. It came closer, and stopped. Xulltana looked at it, as it seemed to stare in pain at him, then, the fire turned blue, and the flickering heat seemed to cool, and stop moving altogether.
Xulltana spent the night in the cave, and kept going. The burns his arm had suffered were wrapped in a piece of his sash. Soon, Xulltana came upon a town. The people seemed friendly and cheerful, somewhere he might fit in.
