Full Name: Polean Drenden
Other name: (Any nicknames, alias') Sign name: "P" handshape pointing forward with the palm facing towards the left of the body. Pull middle finger (the part of the "p" handshape pointing left) into the palm, imitating the pulling/release of a bowstring..
Race:: (Read the section on races) Human
Side: (Varden, Empire, Neutral) Neutral, technically, since she hasn't herself met the Varden until now. She would, with little encouragement, join the Varden.
Birthplace: Southeast of the passage from Palancar Valley.
Age: (20+ years old for all except Elves, Elves are to be MUCH older) 21
Gender: Female
Birthday: I can't determine because the date of the plot is not given, and I can't find anything on the date. Suffice it to say she was born in the fall.
Eyes: (Color, etc) a changing hue of green, sometimes depending on her mood, others on the clothes and lighting. They are always alert, darting from person to person when she is not actively engaged in conversation.
Hair: (Color, style, length etc) Blond, shoulder length hair what she alternates between tying up and leaving free. If she is in a combat situation, or knows one is possible, she ties it up.
Weight: averaging around 100 pounds.
Height: 5' 5"
Magic User: (Yes or no. Must suit the character) No, and she wouldn't be able to master magic based on speech, because she is Deaf and can't actually control her tongue well enough to pronounce correctly the words. I will leave it up in the air as to whether she would be able to master unspoken magic, although she would take a LOT of pushing to even think of pursuing such knowledge. As far as mind touch goes, I would leave that in the air. (mods, if you could chip your two cents in on those topics, because I don't know if you would consider Deafness to be a reason for a person to be able to use mind touch. Jury is out, and you are the jury.)
Preferred Weapon(s): (What weapon(s) your character likes to use most, what they look like) She prefers to use a bow for ranged, but can use a pair of blades if forced into close combat.
Personality: (Your characters personality, IN DETAIL This does not mean one worded descriptions!) Polean has a distrust of magic users due to what happened to her as a young girl (read history). The only magic items she will use are two given to her by an old friend who supplied her with a pen enchanted to never run out of ink and a piece of paper that retained the message written thereon until the intended recipient of the message has read it (when one includes the name given to the person (true name unimportant)). She is extraordinarily slow to trust others, but when you have won her trust, a more loyal friend could only rarely be found. She expects much from those she counts as friends, but gives much in return. She has a short temper with those she doesn't know, so getting to know her is difficult.
Appearance: (Clothes, Physical Attributes, Body Type, etc.)
She is a shorter person (5'5"), though thin. She wears clothes that tend to match her home's environment, especially the nearby woods (think dark greens and browns, but not camo-style). Two sheaths hang from her hips, holding short, slightly curved swords. When traveling long distances, she has a pack for her back in which she carries her necessities. Being her size, no matter how well-toned her muscles, she would have a limited carrying capacity, so extras are low in supply and she has to refill on food at each stop. Though hunting/foraging does supplement, she has no time to make bread or grow vegetables, etc.\
Her face is a portrait of sharp angles, with her eyes not naturally fitting her face (or at least she thinks so) as they are rounded instead of angular.
Likes/Dislikes:
Likes: the outdoors, being her home, are at the top of her list. She prefers outdoors to anything in doors and would gladly do anything that involved being in her environment.
Dislikes: People demanding her to do something she would rather not, or that she disagrees with. Enclosed environments: Caves, small homes, etc.
Strengths: She has uncanny eyesight, and is able to spot things hiding that other people normally wouldn't.
Weakness: She is profoundly Deaf (100%) (explained in history)
Family: (Mother, father, brother, sister etc. Any remaining family, names also) Her parents, Marin and Perrin Drenden, were born and raised in the same community Polean was raised in. Her mother, being not very supportive, is as important to Polean as an ant, while her dad is her main boon from home. Her dad is dead now to her knowledge, and her mom is MIA.
Not-So-Brief History: Polean was born and raised in a small community southeast of Palancar Valley. A magician for the Empire decided to punish her dad for not paying taxes or joining the army to pay those taxes by cursing his daughter with permanent deafness. Her dad, being the kind to love unconditionally, kept on raising her, teaching her, as best he could, how to read and write. It wasn't until she met a friend who's dad used to be a magician before they moved into the community. For a long while, she ignored this person, because of the magician in the past. But Reneesh (the magician's daughter) kept trying, and got her dad to make the paper and pen (mentioned in personality), so they could talk. It took her a while, but she did finally break through, and they became good friends. One day a group of messengers showed up looking for the magician, and Reneesh told Polean about the boats leaving for the West, and Polean, who had always wanted to travel, decided it was a perfect chance. She left Reneesh (who was unable to go because of age) and promised to come back one day. What lies ahead is anybody's guess.
Anything extra:
As stated above, I have a few things I know need to be hashed out with mods (like the paper/pen deal and the mind touch), but I am certain we can work it out. I just didn't want to be "min-maxing" my character. With that, I will leave it to the mods to decide. Have a great day.
