Inventory - Dagger - Sword - Backpack - Bow and Arrows - Wooden Shield Basic Skills Trade Skills In-Game Skills Herbalism There was a reason Kal's mother always kept a potted Elfroot plant in the house. She taught him how to make a few basic remedies to heal himself. Poison-Making- Sometimes you just need an edge in battle. He's had to come up with edge after edge to go ahead and get the advantage over foes before, and just sees it as part of living. Coercion Kal has had to talk his way out of situations before cornered by guards, short a few silver on equipment, short of cash at a tavern, convincing a bunch of shems that he has no money and attempted to talk himself into others women's beds, tents, estates, other places he really shouldn't have access to. Life in the alienage is really all about who you can convince to help you sometimes. Combat TalentsSpells Sustained Abilities Dual Striking, Melee Archer Passive AbilitiesAw, his giant claws are so cute! This character has a rather special ability They attract animals to their side without any skills or other techniques to help this. Really, any kind of animal could just..appear to them. Generally though, animals appear to help the situation, and cannot be controlled like a hunters pet can. Also, should they fight for the skill-wielder, they will be considerably weaker than a hunter or shapeshifters animals. They are, afterall, just normal animals. Passive Activated Abilities Pinning Shot, Riposte, Cripple, Dual Weapon Sweep, Flurry Stats Strength 20 Dexterity 24 Willpower 24 Magic 15 Cunning 27 Constitution 20 Based upon his past, Kalrien has tried to stay away from large groups of humans. He gets a little fidgety when confronted with them, and tends to be more than a little wary when they approach him. When hes relaxed- mostly around friends and people he thinks he can trust, he lets his guard down. Once that happens, he usually tends to crack jokes and shake his head, offering advice honed through years of living on his feet wether its warranted or not. When it comes to the Dalish, however, he wants to learn as much as he can- he grew up listening to his mothers tales of the woods, and an opportunity to learn more of her culture is something hed do just about anything for- the chance to join a clan, and be accepted would be something that may change his life forever.

Answer Depending on the situation, he could fight one of three different ways. 1 Archery- he would make a fine archer, firing either from afar or closer to battle, loosing his arrows into melee and distant targets. 2 Twin Weapons- hed take his sword and dagger and go to town, sacrificing defensive power for agility and striking power. 3 If he needs it, he knows the basics of using a shield, and can pair one with his sword to try and push the enemy back. He would fit in either in the back, guarding casters and archers from melee foes, or assisting them in picking off other threats, or he could frontline, taking down opponents with blades that seem to find the best places to bury themselves on some unlucky darkspawn or other opponent. Part 2 History ----- The result of a dalliance between a Dalish huntress and a human woodsman, Kalrien doesnt know his father according to what his mother claims, he was killed by another of her clan on his way to meet her one night. Banished away from her clan because she refused to kill the child when it was born, she made her way to a nearby city that she couldnt really pronounce the name of. Quickly ushered along by a few elven servants, she found herself in the Alienage, and was given a place to live. A few months later, she gave birth to Kalrien, surrounded by the women of the alienage. Right off the bat, he looked different- instead of a nice, firm point on the tip, his came to a more rounded point, one that established his father as human. The other children of the alienage wouldnt even come near him- it was as if he was infected with something, something that would have caused their ears to crumple and round off like his. Meanwhile, his mother quickly became the biggest thorn in the side of the towns nobles, with her Dalish heritage shining through as she refused to be cowed through threats. She once unleashed a bow shot that sang through the air and thunked between a fat merchants legs, stopping him from striking his elven servant. I dont miss. If you lay a hand upon her again, I will aim four hands higher. You would not be interested in her ever again. It would prove to be her undoing. One day, she simply disappeared. Kalrien would come home and end up finding the door knocked off its hinges and the house ransacked. His mothers bed was a mess, covered in blood and a strange other fluid. Before he could process any more of the scene, one of the village women decided to investigate the scene- and ended up screaming so loud that the whole alienage came running. He was bundled off to someone elses home while the rest of the village cleaned the house and waited for the inevitable. A week later, her body was found dumped outside the alienage gate. It was obvious shed been put through hell before she died. The only thing that Kal ever learned about the way his mother died was that she was killed by a bunch of drunken shemlen- humans, the elves explained. With nowhere else to go, he waited a few days while the house was repaired, and for years, lived alone, subsisting off the graciousness of others. When he reached his teens, well, he discovered- or rather was discovered- by a young maiden from the opposite side of the alienage. Shed been watching him for a while, and the two spent their time talking- when they werent working. Hed gotten ahold of some old weapons that had fallen out of a crate, and spent his days practicing. One day, he was busy practicing when he heard a scream- one that hed know everywhere. He raced forth, weapons in hand, to find a gang of humans having cornered his friend. He would bellow in rage, and leapt on to one of the closest, laying him open with the dagger before the knew what had happened. There were at least eight of them however, and after a while, they had managed to get the weapons from him. Theres not much he really remembers after that point- pain, and fighting, and faintly seeing his friend scamper free, back into her house with but a look back at him. It wasnt broken up by guards until hed actually began to have some success in fighting back. He never saw his friend again- her family had chosen to leave the city, instead of stay where she would obviously be in danger yet again. But the memory would last forever- hed never be able to go near a group of humans ever again- hed always see the group that nearly killed him. With her gone, he soon turned into a good little knife-ears and worked himself to the bone- taking on work that the humans didnt want to do, but at the same time, considered too important for an elf to do. Hes spent his last few years just eking out a living on the scraps hes thrown. But he remembers the stories his mother told him- hed love to meet a true Dalish elf, and even try to join their clan, if he could. His mother spoke of the day she got her bloodwriting with as much pride as she could manage, and he wishes to do right by her memory.
