Malkavian Grin Posted September 27, 2023 Clone Share Posted September 27, 2023 Character Information Name Valfaren Foxwish Title Wild Child Race Elf (Sylvan) Class Primal Druid / Barbarian Alignment Neutral Religion x Age 47 Gender Female Height 5'5" Weight 120 lbs. Eyes Dark brown Hair Blue-black Language Proficiency Common Elf Dwarf Gnome Goblin Halfling Orc Personality More pragmatic and straight-forward in verbiage than a typical Elf, Valfaren is not a common specimen for her race on many fronts. She enjoys a good joke, but harbors a deep and intense anger that she desperately struggles to control. This rage allows her to throw herself into battle and come out the victor more oft than not. Where many Elves hold a modicum of disdain for the shorter-lived species, Valfaren sees amusement in them, much as one would a pet. She prefers the company of them over that of an Elf, for she does not typically live up to the standards of even other Sylvans. While not outright cold and heartless, Val has been known to refuse to help those she finds weak. She claims that the world belongs to the strong. It can take an obtuse amount of cajoling to turn her toward more altruistic goals. Appearance As a Sylvan Elf, Valfaren's skin holds a green hue and she often smells of woodland vegetation and wild geraniums, even after bathing. Needing to stay mobile at all times, she eschews heavy armor and long weaponry. Unlike other druids, Val uses metal arms and armor. Valfaren is often seen in smaller, tighter, slightly-revealing clothing. She knows the natural grace of the Elves can catch the other species off guard--especially when they can see her thighs. Long, unkempt raven-black hair hangs from Val's head which looks blue in sunlight. She enjoys wearing bright, gold jewelry and topaz gems to accent her skintone. Background The Foxwish family had been given the duties of protecting their forest and its occupants generations ago. It was said--though spoken rarely--that a witch had set a curse upon the family, such that her wrath would be forever known to them. With Elves having such a long lifespan, much of the actual details had been lost to time. The curse affected only the first-born of each member of the bloodline; from father to daughter to son and so forth. It is this supposed curse--as it has never been proven to exist--that keeps the Foxwishes on the outskirts of proper company and one that has turned them toward a more pragmatic view of life and Nature. Supposedly at maturity a first-born Foxwish will show signs of a temperament dubbed the Fireblood; a maddening, jealous rage. Valfaren is no different, though she refuses to acknowledge aloud that anything is wrong with her, and has gotten into a number of brawls over accusations which only prove the point.

Malkavian Grin Posted October 7, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted October 7, 2023 Questions What is Valfaren's relationship with her immediate family? Val is a daddy's girl, constantly vying for his affection but rarely receiving it. Her mother became sickly after giving birth to Val's second sibling, taking all of her father's attention. Val had to raise her brother and sister, often taking them with her on the hunt for food so that they would be prepared one day when she would leave. She is on good terms with her siblings, but her father is upset at her for leaving. Val's mother was never a true warrior; the two parted on neutral terms but she secretly roots her daughter on. Who would they consider to be their best friend? What about their worst enemy, or perhaps greatest rival? Best friend: An venerable veteran Human man--Danev Eo'ry--that she met in a wild jungle, fighting for his life against a tiger. She saw his skill and decided to help him and the two became fast friends, sharing stories of strength and courage. Worst enemy/rival: An Elven Ranger--Talion Redleaf--that Val left for dead after the two were hired (by separate parties) to bring back the same artifact for a village. The ranger wanted to join forces, but Val was greedy and put herself above Talion's need. He ended up getting maimed in a trap and now harbors a deep grudge. What is the worst thing the curse has led her to do? How does she feel about it? A bar room brawl over a slight that Val can't remember escalated into clumsy furniture-throwing. Things got so bad that a chair flew into a lantern, knocking it over and spilling flaming oil about. The tavern burned to the ground and the ensuing fire caught three other buildings in its wake before being extinguished. Val is no longer welcome in the town of Geinsburg. Val was actually imprisoned over the event, since she had gotten far too drunk to properly defend herself, and spent six months doing hard labor to pay for damages. That term was supposed to be fifteen years, but she ended up strangling the warden with her chains and escaped. There's a part of her that feels remorse for what happened, but Valfaren would never admit to such a thing. She'd definitely not proud of it, and works to avoid it coming up. If given the chance to rid herself of the curse, how far would she be willing to go to see it done? Valfaren believes the curse is the ultimate cause of misfortune in her life and would do terrible things to achieve it. She would stop short of mass killing, hurting a loved one, or destroying an ecosystem. Anything else may very well be on the table as an option, if presented in the right context. Does she have a relationship with an enclave of sylvan elves or does she live apart from them? How does she feel about that? While she is Sylvan, Valfaren doesn't seek out other Sylvan Elves on purpose. Their company in general makes her remember home, and the role her family played on the outskirts of it. She feels like an outsider again when around them which is emotionally draining. This tends to make her drink heavily. Part of her feels that it's unfair, but another recognizes that she isn't healthy to be near. Which ability provided by Primal Druid most calls to her or is most comfortable for her? Trackless Step comes to Val most naturally, allowing her to stalk prey quietly as though she were a predator of the forest. As above, which ability provided by Barbarian (all available, ignoring the restrictions for Class and a Half) does the same? Gotta be Intimidate; Val loves to roar as she throws herself into battle while her blood boils.
