Name: Avoet Cursemaker
Age: 158
Race: Elf
Occupation:Scout
Allegiance: Akuborin clan
Physical Description: Like Eriak, Avoet has prominent elven features. First and foremost, the ears. Unlike the native elves, The Akuborin elves have much more elongated ears. So long that they significantly shorten them when going into populated areas. Also, Avoet has the sunk cheekbones and pointed chin, similar to all elves. The hair, though, is white. Not white like winter snow or white like an old man, but pale, like a ghost. It also is quite smooth. Unlike Eriak, he keeps his hair in tip-top condition. His eyes are quite like Eriak's, brown and unassuming. Over his forehead, he wears a charm bracelet, from a person long gone.
For the rest of his body, he is shaped much like an archer. Strong back, arms, and good eye coordination. But, Avoet will never be as good as Eriak or Dora. He doesn't have the patience and often acts rashly. He enjoys using, however, two knives he hides on his back. In a fight, he will often discard a bow and draw the small weapons. His bow is more shapely and more majestic then Eriak's.
Also, Avoet hasn't let go of his past, which is reflected on his clothes. A robe fit for a prince is highly decorated with symbols. His tunic also seems more fit for a ball rather then wallowing in the mud tracking enemies. But, spell laid on it from years ago made sure the mud didn't stain it.
Because elves don't usually hang with humans, he is able to slightly change his skin in order to adapt. Shorten the ears and fatten up the face are all minute changes and matter little to him. People in this land are so used to seeing the"High Elves" (or at least hearing about them) that a band of rugged elves can very much pass off as human.
Magic was never a part of Avoet. He was found lacking in the talent and thought is worthless. He did train his mind in blocking others out. But, for magic, the clan heavily relyed on Delo
Personality: Avoet and Eriak, two peas in a pod. Each love nature and can spend days in the forest. There, among the trees, they listen to birds sing and crickets chirp and love life. But, that is where the similarity ends. Where as Eriak will sit for day on end and hunt, Avoet had a tendency to wander around. This makes him a prime scout, for he loves to run. He can keep it up for hours an end.
This flirty behavior also shows up in the camp. He is forever bouncing around, taking care of one task after another, much to the annoyance of Delo the servant. While talking to him, it seems that he is never there with you, but is thinking about totally irrelevant things. He does, though, likes quite well when Eriak speaks. He and the old man, Bonareir Warscar, seem to love having spats all the time. He is also always teasing Rinar Icekiller for marrying the old soldier. As For Delo, he ignores him.
In battle Avoet is trustworthy, meaning he can hold his own in a fight. He doesn't need help. He always puts others over himself. But, as always, he is easily distracted by fleeing soldiers that he often gets separated from the pack. He also lets his emotions get in the way. Often times, he will risk loosing everybody trying to right wrongs. As for he and Dora, well, they are just friends. Even elves from the Akuborin tribe seldom marry.
Being a scout, Avoet seems to have a map in his head. At all times, he is aware of his surroundings. He leaves mental clues in order to find his way back. This habit is right most of the time. But there are times when he is totally wrong. This seems to bug everybody, especially Delo.
He and Eriak both have a very little grasp on magic.
Background: Avoet was sired by King Akuborin, king of the large tribe. He was a very successful speaker and a ferocious warrior that united many tribes together and formed the Akuborin tribe. For four hundred years, the tribe survived, building more cities that previously thought possible. At the peak of the empire, Avoet war born. For that start, the Empire was ready to grow. With another noble, they could conquer many more tribes. King Akuborin first tried to get the boy some influences in his life. Some high ranking boys about his age. The first ranking offical was a girl names Alie. A quite beautiful daughter of a general. They dated on and off for years, in which she gave him that braclet. But, the general was found fraud and was fired. The daughter was convicted of crimes and sentenced to jail. But, Avoet always knew of her innocence.
Then, Eriak stepped into his life, amid the grief of Alie's absence. The two met during a long festival, each getting thrown out of a bar. They decided to team up and get a drink. From that, they first became friends. At first, the King was a bit worried, with his son and a son of a trader. But is came apparent that Eriak has what it took to be a leader. Strong will, sound thinking, and a tough head. The two became inseparable, along with Dora. Together, they romped around, exploring and hunting and fishing. As they became older, they became even greater friends. Then, tragedy struck. A mysterious plague struck the tribe. To save everybody, Avoet (well, Eriak) decided to load everybody up and sail to a new world. Only six survived. Seeing that Eriak was a much better leader, Avoet gave command to him and followed him from there on out.
