Aelthas Lianocen
Titles : Coran, meaning leader, of the Shesae en' i'Seldarine.
Home : Evermeet. Aelthas spent his first 150 years in the very capital of the island, Luethilspar. It is uncertain why he chose to leave Evermeet and travel all the way to Narfell, but most seem to accept the answer that he came to aid his people and see them thrive in this distant land.
Lore Specialization : The priest of Corellon Larethian knows the history of his pantheon by heart, not to mention the history of his people on Evermeet, and he has also studied the other pantheons extensively. There is not a story he enjoys more than one of the gods, or the legends of his culture. History simply fascinates Aelthas. He developed a sudden interest in languages as well, learning sylvan and celestial through various teachers in Luethilspar.
Presence : There is a calm confidence about Aelthas. It is the confidence of one who knows his purpose, who is well aware of the world around him and is at peace with it. Yet, this utter calm carries an undertone of haughtiness to it. He can be distant and pensive, which lend to such an undertone. But it is his pleasant tranquility that dominates his presence.
Race : Sun Elf
Height : 5' 9" (175 cm)
Weight : 112 lbs (51 kg)
Age : 161
Skin Tone : Tan/bronze.
Skin Texture : His skin is smooth and without scars.
Eyes : Rich copper eyes.
Hair : His dark copper hair is usually swept back off his face and tucked behind his ears. Aelthas pays a lot of attention to the grooming of his hair, though this is not surprising for an elf.
Voice : His voice is slight and lilting, bearing the musical sound to it common among elves.
Accent : Elven.
Recognizable Features : His golden armor has a way of giving him away, but so do his sun elven features. It is rare to see a sun elf outside of Evermeet, let alone in Narfell.
Commonly spoken languages : Elven, common, and sylvan. Celestial is a language rarely heard from his lips.
Equipment Worn : He wears full plate dyed completely gold when headed for battle or adventure. Otherwise he wears some rather fashionable clothes he purchased in Peltarch.
Equipment Carried : Upon his back is a small leather pack, a quiver with subtle elven writing on it, his longbow, and his tower shield of elven make. At his right hip, a golden sheathe hangs from his belt. Set securely in the sheathe is a blade that glows with a bright red hue. It is hot to the touch, and has flames carved along each side.
Left Handed or Right Handed : Left Handed
Jewelry or Decorations : Around his neck is a necklace made of gold, from which a gold and silver crescent moon pendant hangs. There is also a smaller amulet about his neck that gives off a faint blue glow. On his right hand he wears a very ornate ring.
Relatives : His father, Caelael Lianocen, is well-respected in Evermeet. A diplomat and an archer, his achievements have turned the Lianocen clan into one of nobility. Lanna'sehwyn Lianocen, his mother, is a bard of some reknown on the island. Aelthas owes his small musical talent to his joyful, light-hearted mother. He only has one sibling, a brother, with whom he shared the responsibility of turning the Lianocen clan into something much larger. That is, before he left Evermeet. His brother, Zazair, remains on the island. The two rarely saw eye-to-eye. Aelthas considers him to be a brooding, pretentious mage far too obsessed with the politics of the island kingdom. He has never spoken of his younger brother outside of Evermeet.
Body Build : Lithe and lightly muscled, his body is in good shape if a bit thin.
Official Positions : Coran of the Shesae en' i'Seldarine.
Combat style : Aelthas prefers the bow to the blade, seeing it always wiser to slay one's foes from a distance when able. In elven culture it is not considered dishonorable, for to charge a larger, stronger foe is seen as folly, not courage.
When it does come to melee, however, Aelthas has no qualms with drawing his blade and shield. Often he must use the blade and not the bow, in order to keep his friends and allies from harm. His sword dances about in combat, and his thrusts are light. He is practiced with the sword, but by no means great.
(After equipment adjustments)
STR 12 : His true strength comes from his god. While he is lightly muscled, his natural strength is far from that of a warrior.DEX 10 : Though he walks with the grace of elves, he is not known for great feats of agility. He relies on his amazing perception to save him from his unremarkable reflexes.
CON 12 : Aelthas has always had good stamina, and his travel from Evermeet to Narfell has toughened his body to a degree. He can bear the average blow and will not tire too quickly.
WIS 20 : To call him perceptive, or insightful, would be an understatement. There are not many things that go unnoticed by him. His intuition can be shocking to some, as he will quickly arrive at the heart of a matter, or realize that which was not evident to others.
INT 14 : His intelligence is a source of pride for the sun elf. With the vast amount of knowledge he posseses, such pride is understandable. Sun elves value contemplation and learning more than most, and Aelthas is no exception.
CHA 13 : His tranquility and willpower endear him as a leader, to an extent. He may not have the speaking power or raw force of personality of others, but he can be fairly charming.
