Character Name: Gripite Whitesilver Race: Gripite is Half-elf (Half human) his father was an elf but he was caught betraying them to the empire and was exiled, his mother was a human scholar but she ended up in the poor house when she was kicked out of the elves. Gender: Male Age: 29 Alliance: Neutral. Gripite is a mercenary, and because of this he supports neither army. The only time he will work for a side is when they're paying him. Home: Gripite travels the land looking for work, however he spends as much time as he can near the elves hoping that one day they will welcome him back into their community. Physical Appearance: Gripite is six foot two inches tall with short, straight dark brown hair and a small beard. He is lightweight and lacking any large muscle. Because of his build he is very agile but not that strong. Ever since childhood he has been a good climber and swimmer, skills which he often combines with archery when he is hunting. He is light skinned and he wears a passive expression on his face. Clothing: For the last year Gripite has worn a brown shirt that has been slashed in three places, although he could easily repair it Gripite keeps it as a reminder of the times when he let his guard down. He also wears leather boots, chaps, a brown overcoat and a worn dark green cloak. When Gripite is attending a formal occasion he has a scarlet set of robes he wears, which are adapted to aid any quick escapes. His armour which is frequently donned is made up of some chainmail, leather arm guards and Ural hide leg protectors. Skills: Since a young age Gripite has studied magic, he has become well developed in the elemental and mind reading aspects. He is also an exceptional archer and projectile thrower. As well as this he is a seasoned climber, strong swimmer, an able hunter and good cook. Personality: Gripite doesn't divulge much information about himself unless he has to. He enjoys having hold of all the cards in any situation. He will do almost anything for the right pay. He likes to read as he believes ignorance is the source of everyones downfall; he detests the upper classes as they have everything he doesn't. Strengths: Gripite has a very high pain tolerance so he can withstand torture, his lack of allies has stopped him from being betrayed many times. Weaknesses: Gripite is lacking in any exceptional strength and his lack of allies sometimes comes against him. He is afraid of being betrayed which is the main reason that he has hardly any friends. Weapons: Gripite owns a set of small steel daggers encrusted with rubies, which he acquired from his Dwarf trainer. He also owns a maple longbow that he was given when he lived with the elves, it has little decoration but Gripite still views it as an object of beauty. History: Gripite was exiled from the elves when they discovered his father had betrayed their secrets to the empire; he was 16 at the time. His mother also left the elves but she could not survive on her own and had to be taken to a poor house; Gripite fled when his mother was taken and roamed the land for seven years studying whenever he could; because of this his reportire of skills includes the tricks of many races. After those seven hard years on the road Gripite met an old Dwarf who took him under his wing and helped him finish his education. Six months after this the Dwarf told him of mercenaries and what they do; Gripite was soon enthralled and began working for the local mercenary soon leaving to except bigger contracts. Sorry for the lack of boldness |

Let the sky burn.

Yes you could use much more history and you could be much more descriptive...explain why he got banished whenever his father died, explain his childhood...another thing...if his father died shortly after he was born I wouldn't think he would be banished as a baby, but that's just me. |
![]() He acts as his conscience directs him with little regard for what others expect of him. He makes his own way, but he’s kind and benevolent. He believes in goodness and right, but has little use for laws and regulations. He follows his own moral compass, which, although good, may not agree with that of society. | |
