KARRL DRAVEN GARM
Name: Karrl Draven Garm[/size]
Age: 16
Sex: Male
Race: Half Elf
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Eye Colour: Blue
Hair Colour: Blonde
Height: 5ft 7”
Weight: 168lbs
Notable tattoos/scars/birthmarks: Elven Tattoos on his forehead, symbolising a tree, with the base of it just above the bridge of the nose with it running nearly to the top of the forehead with dead branches stemming of three times of either side at different points. It is a light grey colour.
General Clothing: His upper body is covered in leather armour and gloves, that’s proper leather not rough or cured. Over the top of the armour he wears a green tunic and on top of that is a greenish brown, hooded travelling cloak which he often wears with the hood up. His lower half is covered with leather boots, which are of the same quality as his armour and gloves. He also weak a pair of trousers the same colour as his travelling cloak. His head, along side the hood of his cloak, is covered with a greenish brown bandana, which covers his mouth and some of his nose, so the only thing that can really be seen are his eyes.
Weapons: A pair of Dar'Misu (Grey Iron) and a Scout’s Bow (Ash)
Pets: Shadow (A Falcon)
Likes: His main love in life, is nature, being brought up in woodlands and away from cities he has grown to love this world and everything around it. Which leads onto his other love, animals, he actually prefers the company of animals over humans or other races outside of his Dalish Kin. There is one animal he loves more then any animal and that is Shadow. Shadow is his pet Falcon, who has been with him for a good part of his life, and their partnership is as strong as any out there. Outside of nature, he does like beautiful things, which is anything appealing to the eye. Along side beauty he loves music, he loves to play his flute out in the woods so he can hear nature sing along with his tunes. He does not know much of the other races so he kin, the Dalish, are the only people he has come to love.
Dislikes: As much as he loves the Dalish that how much he dislikes city elves. He may only be half elf, but he believes he is more elven then they are, and the city elves have betrayed their kind by serving the humans. Even though brought up as a warrior of the Dalish he does not like to kill needlessly, which especially includes inflicting pain the good people, whether elven, human or any other race. The needless destruction of something is something he can not stand by and watch, even if it mean risking his own life. This goes especially when it comes to the destruction of nature. Finally something he can not stand and that is people who pick on the weak, in Karrl’s eyes, they are scum and he would not hold any guilt by putting an arrow through their hearts.
Strengths: Karrl is an expert bowman, even by Dalish standards, his shortbow is more deadly in his hands then a seasoned archer in any human army. To put it another way, he can hit a fast evading light Calvary in the eye from three hundred paces. Along with his skill with the bow he is also good with daggers, if anyone is lucky enough to survive his bow. He is nowhere near as skilled with his daggers then he is with his bow, but he can hold his own. Most of the time he does not need to use his daggers because he is both fast and light on his feet as well as being able to move around areas, more so in woodland area, and he is rarely seen or heard. Outside of battle he has a few strengths, which includes his skill with a flute, his ability to play tunes on his flute is very good. One of his kin from his clan once said when she heard him play his flute it was like hearing nature singing. He is very close to animals, it is why he studied the way of the ranger, but also seems like he can talk to the animals themselves. He is very hard to befriend, if that person if outside of the Dalish, but if that said person does win his friendship he is very loyal.
Weaknesses: With all of his speed skill and stealth there is two things he is not good with when it comes to battle, and that is strength and his constitution. He has had to work hard on his ability to not get his because when he does he can not take much when it comes to blows. If a very strong human with a double handed weapon was lucky enough to hit him it would more then likely hurt him severely enough to almost kill him. He loves nature so much it is actually a weakness for him. If he saw someone needlessly harming anything around the world of nature he will put his very life on the line to stop it. This is also the reason why his friends and family are also a weakness for him. Due to the fact he was brought up with the Dalish he has had very little interaction with other races, the only race he is fairly familiar with is the human race. Some people would see this next thing as a strength but it is a weakness for him. He is elven through and through when it comes to this and that is his single mindedness. Once he sets his sights on something or someone he will not stop until he gets what he is after, or he is dead.

===============================================================
Character History: His mother’s an elf and his father’s a human, they were in love, and were secretly planning on marrying because of his father being a nobleman and his mother being one of his servants. One day a group of elf haters found this out when Karrl’s parents were on one of their secret nightly strolls together the elf haters attacked them. His father protected his beloved so she could escape, but it cost him his life. What Karrl’s parents did not know it was in fact Karrl’s father that tipped them off, because he fear their offspring, as well as hungering for his brother’s Bann. What both brothers did not know was the fact that she was already expecting.
Knowing she could not survive in human society she turned to the Dalish, even though she feared she would not be accepted into the clan because of her unborn son . She ran to the nearest clan, and she was lucky for she was accepted, because they saw the child as an act of rare love between the two races. Eight months later Karrl was born, named after his father Bann Karrl Draven Gam. The elves were shocked to find he looked almost human, but they still accepted him into the clan none the less.
Over the years of his young life the clan may have accepted him but his peers would bully him because of his heritage. Because of this he worked longer and harder then the others and soon became one of the more talented firsts within the hunters. He in fact became one of the youngest full hunters in the history of the clan at fourteen years of age. Outside of working he tried to stay away from the clan, because, even though he loved them dearly, it was hurting him how the other children were treating him. Over the years he fully emerged himself into nature, and found he had the rare skill of animal speak. Also, he taught himself how to play the flute. It was because of the flute that he made his first and only friend among the elves his age.
He was sixteen when he wished to know more about his human family, and even though his mother wished it not she knew there was not reasoning with Karrl once he got an idea stuck into his head. So, with the leave of his mother and the keeper he left the clan, with the promise he would be welcomed back when he decided to return. So, he set off for the nearest town, but he could not be prepared for what he was about to found out, because his mother never spoke about his father because of the pain it caused her.

Other Characters: None
Notes: #At first glance Karrl looks human, but the two things that make him stand out as elven, more so Dalish are is tattoos which were covered earlier. The second thing that makes him stand out are his ears. They are as flat as a human’s, but the shape of them are unmistakably elven. They are smaller then a normal elf’s ears so when he wears his hair down they barley poke out of his hair.
