Woodstrike

History:
Woodstrike is a wild elf, born to parents of little status in a small community in the southern forests. He spent much of his youth running away from home, only to be dragged back a few days later and scolded for his recklessness. His misadventures often got him into trouble, but nothing more serious than minor injury or becoming helplessly lost. When his latest mishap almost proved fatal to the elf sent to retrive him the tribes elders convinced Woodstrikes family that he would better serve the world elsewhere. The where was unimportant, other than a general feeling that the further away the better.

As he had almost reached maturity, when it was suggested that he leave for the world outside the forest, Woodstrike first thought it prudent to fashion an adult name for himself. He tried several before finally settling on 'Woodstrike', but among his own people he was still refered to by his child name of 'Íldwa Úryfó' (Wild Fury). In fact many of his peers called him by his (rather derogatory) nickname, 'réeta estróyerdë' "Tree destroyer". Thie nickname, though little more thna an insult had real basis. One of the things that had kept Woodstrike from serious harm during his escapades was an inborn talent or ability to manipulate the energy around him.

He found he could shape the energy of the world to his will, and while it took great mental effort, he could even command it in some small ways, to free his leg from a fallen log, aid him in climbing a tree or disguise himself so others would not recognise him, not immediately at least. When he began to experiment with his talent in earnest, certain... accidents occured. he managed to bring down one of the great tree's near his tribes home, purely by accident when he was distracted while shaping power in his palm, and the subsequent destruction leveled three houses, and could have killed people had they not been so lucky.

Among his own people he was always considered reckless, naive and foolhardy, none of which are complimentary traits for a race that truly believes in their superiority over all other races. Even among humans he would be considered rash as he is far more inclined to act on his instincts than think a situation through rationally. nfortunately his instincts are yet to lead him into real peril, so he has grown to rely on them even more. When he left his home he spent some weeks wandering aimlessly, fortune keeping him safe from any random attacks, but also keeping him from meeting anyone who could point him in the correct direction, for example to where he could buy food or supplies.

After nearly a month on the verge of starvation he finally came to realise that without a Cueno, he had no hope of makign any sort of name for himself, and without a name he would never be able to explore his strange talents. Shortly after he found himself in the waiting room of Beologard Urnstwil with a group of equally clueless misadventurers.

Appearance:
Woodstrike is of average Height and weight for an elf just having reached maturity, and his long, fair hair is well
tended and flowing. He has no distinguishing marks as such and is not considered hugely attractive by elven standards. What is truly remarkable about him though are his eyes. While most elves eyes are varying shades of green Woodstrike has eyes of jet black. It is almost disconcerting to look him in the eye, because he has no visible iris or pupil, just an inky blackness, making his intentions difficult to discern. He tends to wear pale colours and unremarkable travelling clothes.
