===Details===
 Size: Medium
 Gender: Male
 Age: 160 
 Height: 6'1
 Weight: 162
Hair Color: Golden, pulled into a pony tail that hangs to his belt and is kept
 together by 5 different colored strips of leather every 6-8 inches.
 Eye Color: Emerald Green
Skin Color: Silver
Appearance: Tall, handsome, and full of confidence, this elf has seen many years. Chaucer is not old in Elven standards, but his face is beginning to show signs of a few wrinkles on his once perfect complexion. His clothes are nothing special, Knee high Leather boots, polished to a shine, leather breeches with not a stain or scratch on them, as well as a beautifully white linen tunic. Over a white tunic is a knee-length leather coat, with a belt buckeled over top and one button half-way down his chest buttoned. A scarf of brilliant red shows itself underneath the coat. On his belt hang a few pouches, and over his shoulder is his pack, with a few instruments and a couple quivers hanging from various straps and hooks. He walks using a polished black walking stave, in reality this is his bow, but he keeps it unstrung while he is in town and not expecting danger. The hilt of a longsword is seen at his hip.
Demeanor: Chaucer is capable of laughter and frivolity, but it is rarer than it used to be and definitely does not hang around long when it comes. A difficult past full of heart ache and heart break has broken this once dashing Casanova, and he has become more somber. However, a man once consumed with his passions is now still impassioned about a few things. He sides with the downtrodden, the abused and the wronged almost to a fault, and is all too willing to give his life to defend a good creature from an evil one.
Background: Chaucer has lived a life of extremes. He ventured into this world from the fey realm of his people to learn stories, to catalog history, and to come back with stories worthy of the eternal existence of the elves. He grew intoxicated by the mortal realms luxuries, living a life of a Casanova, wooing women, living off their wealth for a time, and then moving to a different city. For nearly a century he made his mark on the Ohum River Valley. Until one day, he fell in love with a Half-Elf women named Mistiano. Living a charmed life for 30 years together, Chaucer had all but settled down, learning to hunt, to farm, and to live like a peasant.
Coming back from a hunt, Chaucer found his house, and his wife destroyed. He spent three years hunting down the river pirates who murdered his wife. He finally found his vengence a year ago, and spent the time in between mourning the loss of his wife. Now, however, with his wife buried and her murder avenged, he turns back to the reason he came to this plain. He has enjoyed all the luxuries of this realm, he has loved deeply, and he has lost horrifically. Everything that has mattered to him is gone, and so in search of something that lasts, he has returned to his love and passion for stories, for epics, for glory recorded for all the ages!
