Character Personality~
Calem considers himself unlike his older brother, Deviandar, in many ways. He is open, friendly, and sometimes playful. He is sometimes a showoff with his athletic abilities, and in both hand to hand fighting and in sword play he learned under the greatest masters in Du Weldenvarden, making him a near unmatched swordsman and hunter. He is a very social elf, and even somewhat naive, but he is wary of the Empire to the south. Contradictory to his normal social life, Calem hates formal events because it means he would have to concern about his appearance; something that normally doesn't bother him. Calem is not educated in the more advanced levels of learning, he decided not to because such things such as mathematics, science, and history never really interests him, but he knows many practical things that could save his life. The one thing that he refuses to speak of to others is his older brother, who had severely hurt him in a strange transformation. His goal for leaving the safety of Du Weldenvarden is to find his brother, forgive him, and bring him back home to his grieving mother.
Character History~
Calem was a normal elf child, born four years after his older brother Deviandar, and the first son of Verandor, Almyria's second husband. His life was well growing up, in which he became best friends with Deviandar, yet they didn't do many things together because of their conflicting lifestyles. While Deviandar was studying, Calem was performing flips and acrobatics. While Deviandar was learning his skills in Ellesméra, Calem was off in the other elven cities, learning from famous masters of swordfighting and hand to hand combat. That is, until he returned to celebrate Deviandar's twentieth birthday; the day that an elf leaves his infancy. On that day, Deviandar underwent a strange transformation, causing panic throughout the city as he destroyed acres upon acres with a firey breath and incredible strength. Deviandar then targeted Calem and first struck him with his claws before releasing a torrent of fire upon him. While Calem was on fire, a beam of wood fell on his head, knocking him unconscious.
When he woke a week later, he was for the most part healed, except for the three claw marks on his chest, and a burn scar on his shoulder. His mother was deeply grieving, and when Calem asked her, she told what had happened after he had passed out. Deviandar had changed back after a day, and had ran away. At the wish of his mother, Calem finished his training and a year later, went out in search of his brother in hopes to help him. His last known direction, south. Towards the Hadarac Desert.
Weapons~ Calem holds a single handed sword. The blade is four feet long, thin, and lightweight. The cross guard is of a bluish silver but has no defense against a blade. The hilt is a black stained pine, and the pommel has a long blue woven silk tassel hanging out. The tassel helps distract the enemy, which works with Calem's fast, agile, and artistic style of swordplay he learned from his favorite master.
(
This sword looks somewhat similar to it. It's called a Jian)
He also carries a willow bow and quiver with him. He made the bow himself and he makes his own arrows.
Likes~ Socializing, fighting, practicing his skills, cool weather, and noise.
Hates~ Heat, quiet individuals, annoyances, darkness, the Empire
Weaknesses/Fears~ Calem hates hot weather, or formal occasions. Being imprisoned in the Empire is one of his worst fears, so he disguises his elven heritage well.
Companions~ None
Physical Description~
Calem was once fair skinned for an elf, but early in his childhood he had heard about the nomadic tribes of the Hadarac, and their dark skin, so now his skin is a dark tan color, but not as dark as the tribesmen. It distinguished him from the others more easily. His hair color is a very dark brown, which he also manipulated with magic, though he never takes care of it so it's always messy. His build is slightly stocky, and very muscular. His face is round, with noticeably defined eyebrows and nose. His clothing is light, with either soft fabric leggings and tunic or shorts. Sometimes he even prefers being shirtless. In human populations he disguises his elvish features with magic and then covering himself with filth to hide his smooth skin. He has two scars; three long scratches across his chest, and a dark burn scar on his right shoulder, which appears like a stain.
Dreams for the Future~ To hopefully find his brother, forgive him, and possibly bring him home to his mother. If he had died, than his mission is to find his fate.
Reasons for Dreams~ Calem never was angry at his brother for harming him, and he wishes to comfort him somewhat, knowing that Deviandar didn't shame himself forever. He wishes to tell him that his mother wants him home and to find out why his brother underwent that strange transformation.
