Name: Tahllian Eytherathem
Nickname/preferred name: Swifty
Race: half (wood) elf
Class: Rogue/fighter/assassin
Alignment: CN
Origin: Dalelands forest

Physical Description: tall and thin, yet muscular and toned. Stern serious face usually. Fine elven chiseled features.
Age: 30's
Height: 5’10”
Weight: 175lbs
Skin: smooth, relatively hairless pale almond tan.
Eyes: deepest shade of green with hazel flecks.
Hair: shoulder length ebony black with a greenish tinted sheen.
Dress: Most often he is wearing enchanted light elven chainmail. Sometimes simple, although magical, black leather armor. Thick trousers. Knee high soft leather elven boots; enchanted black hooded cloak, buckled gloves, leather belt and scabbard.
Jewelry: Two rings- a mithril band of regeneration and an obsidian band that hides his alignment (tho he doesnt really need it as he is not intrinsically evil). A silver alloy amulet of protection, containing an emerald.
Weapons: *A dagger of Vampiric Regeneration made of adamantine and etched with runes of an ancient elven tongue. the handle is of ivory or bone, the end carved into a crude demonic dragonhead. *An elven longbow with a enchanted quiver of unlimited arrows made of hickory, mithril-adamantine alloy sight window and a thick leather grip and mithril arrow rest. along the wood it carved a vine. this is one of the few things of his parents he has manage to keep. *A vorpal longsword of a silver alloy.
[b:1fxfqsvm]Personality[/b:1fxfqsvm]: Swifty keeps to himself and speaks little. He comes off slightly cold and condescending. He cares little for rules, laws or structure and follows his own moral code, or lack their of. he so so well guarded that no one as of yet has been able to see the truth- a truly damaged soul. Those who could get thru the layers will see a slightly different person than portrayed.
he sees some of his work as evening the balance tween good and evil. tho he does not take jobs that will kill and truly good person. generally he removes thugs, tyrants, and slavers and the like. again he lets no one know this. he has a resentment against dark elves due to his family being murdered and his enslavement to them for 20 years. to him, all dark elves are the same. (whether this changes over time, is a character development thing in progress)
[b:1fxfqsvm]Background:[/b:1fxfqsvm]
Swifty was born to a elven mother and human father among the peaceful Dalelands. His father, Reven, was a farmer of good means and a simple tavern on the main road. His mother,Quilynn, a beautiful wood elf and avid adventurer who maintained a nomadic lifestyle traveling the world. Twords the middle of her life (4th century), she stumbled upon the midst of a slaughter. She managed to rescue a male human from the Vhaeraunite drows of the forest who had descended among the farmlands. With everything lost to the young man, he decided to adventure with the his elven heroine.
Soon they fell in love. Quilynn and Reven traveled for years together until their union one day produced a child. The quaint family settled down near a small village in the Cormanthor Forest. One night, when Swifty was only a 5 years, a group of drow raiders descended upon the village killing many and enslaving the females. Quilynn attempted to flee with the infant but was cut down before she got to far. A female drow say the babe, and uncharacteristically felt a twang of pity for the baby. She rationalized it that he could be raised as a slave.
The half elven child was taken to the drow house and raised as a slave to the leaders. He grew up among them, learning of their ways and waiting for his chance for revenge or escape. During this time, Swifty was trained in the ways of the Masked Lord, perfecting the skills of a thief and an assassin. One day he found his chance and escaped, leaving behind everything and vowing to kill the drow. with no one and nowhere to go, he made his way to the city of Dagger Falls. His skills saved his life as he took down a man twice his size. Unknown to him, he was watched by the guildmaster. He was hired as their assassin. But Swifty wasnt content. and so he took up adventuring himself, willing to be hired by the highest paying.
