Full name: Eleniel Undotaur
Age: Early 20s
Gender: Gender-neutral (he/him, they/them)
Race: Elf
Nationality: Anderfel
Class/Occupation: Underground fighter/deadbeat (uses bare fists/brass knuckles w/ retractable spikes)
Background:
Eleniel doesn't remember much of their early childhood; not even sure they were born in the Anderfels much less who bore them. Spending most of their time surviving on the streets was exhausting and left little time for relaxation and fun; it was around Eleniel couldn't even guess what age that some excitement came into their life: underground fighting. Many of the less pious teens and adults sought glory and power like those of the Grey Wardens and seeing as that dream was pretty unlikely they went for something a little more manageable. Although many were only in it for the sport the more dominant fighters were in it for the coin. And Eleniel? Well, who doesn't love getting paid to have a good time?
A couple years spent fighting and Eleniel is notably one of the better fighters. And it's when they beat the long-standing champ that trouble began. It wasn't that noticeable at first, occasional instances of someone refusing their patronage or declining to engage in casual conversation, but as time went on tensions rose and with it Eleniel's temper. A couple months had passed before they found the reason for their newfound outsider status, their victory over the former champion had angered the man greatly. Not only was Eleniel younger than him, but he was an elf! Maker, the humiliation. He may have been beaten, but others were still intimidated by him and his buddies and didn't even try to argue when ordered to shun Eleniel, hell they didn't even blink.
Now, Eleniel isn't known for thinking things through before acting so it wasn't surprising that they immediately marched into the bar that their alienator would most likely be found. It also wasn't surprising that Eleniel wouldn't get a fair fight resulting in a trio of scars across their chest and being unable to return to the Anderfels again. Turns out the dude is pretty powerful, who knew?
Personality:
Eleniel loves being in the spotlight after years of only being known by their fellow fighters, they feel they deserve to be noticed for something they're good at. Quick on their feet and slow with their words, Eleniel is definitely more action oriented than towards talking things out. They just never learn, really. Growing up and hearing so much about the Grey Wardens and participating in illegal fighting definitely impacted what their idea of a good time is.
It might not show, but Eleniel gets flustered easily when talking to people seeing as most of their people skills come from beating someone up. Not exactly the best learning experience. While they definitely know that life isn't exactly a piece of cake they still manage hold on to a bit of childish naivete. They just want to enjoy living for once please.
Not much of a people person or really understanding of different social standings Eleniel assumes that everyone is pretty much the same. They've heard little of mages but most if not all of those things were negative, so they're a little anxious at the thought of meeting one. They've never even heard of a Qunari.
Tropes:
Allergic To Routine
Crowd Pleaser
Martyr Without a Cause
Rebel Relaxation
Too Kinky to Torture
Appearance (pls excuse my low quality sketches @-@):
Writing sample:
The earliest memory that Eleniel can recall is waking up with a raging headache and inability to open their left eye, surrounded by what was definitely rotten food behind someone's home. A quiet groan was all that escaped their lips as they staggered to their feet.
"Nhhh..I feel like I got hit by Andraste herself.." They muttered brushing them-self off, observing their surroundings. Yes, it's most definitely rotten food. The sun is just barely coming up they note absently, limping through the silent streets, coming to a halt at a tavern.
"Pretty early for a drink don't you think?" greets them upon entry. They give a weak lop-sided grin to the woman behind the counter.
"I was kinda hopin' I could get a bath..?" What starts as a hopeful statement ends in a questioning lilt as Eleniel scana the rest of the room, finding them-self alone save for the owner, as expected at this hour.
"Well, I ain't exactly in this business to do charity work." she replies gruffly, motioning to the coin-purse at their side with a glint in her eyes.
