Alvaeth El'lethevorath / Elven Wizard

(We are going to do 3.5 for a bit now. I'm very excited about the chronicle, and we had a pretty good creation session. The following is a post about my upcoming character.) -recently edited the post to show a change in alignment, will be going LG-

Alvaeth El'lethevorath (His first name means sky render, his second name means lord of fire and storms) Is an elf living in East Hill, a small city within the kingdom of Hammerdul. Alvaeth stands 5'3, and weighs under 100 pounds. His hair is long and blonde, and kept in very good shape, and always properly groomed. His eyes are an emerald green, and his features are delicate and angular, like most of his race.

Alvaeth has lived within the city all of his life, as his current family of the El'lethevorath line has done since the cities creation. The elf lives with his parents, his younger brother, and his older sister. The El'lethevorath extended family, such as cousins, aunts and so forth also dwell within East Hill. It is said that his entire family lives and prospers in or around the city. The elven wizard himself studies under his family, but has also been to the formal school and order as practiced in East Hill. His parents thought it wise to not only teach him the ancient elven ways of magic, but to undergo the human tests and trials of magic, to get a better understanding of how other races percieve and work magic. Alvaeth is extremely protective of the name and honor of his family. He would bring his impressive skills to bear against anyone willing ot challenge or harm his family, and is never quick to give information out about his family. Alvaeth is also extremely protective of the order he graduated from. He takes the title he gained from there as a badge of honor, and although small, greatly respects the teachers and students that come out of the order. In the future, he hopes to be able to contribute to the health and growth of his order and its influence.

Alvaeth practices and studies the workings of Evocation magic. He understands this magic, as it is the most practiced by his family, and better honed its use during his training within the human order available in East Hill. Alvaeth's true love is elemental magic, especially those concerned with both Air and Fire, but studies all the arcane fundamental elements of magic. To date, he is able to create blasts of concentrated force, small jolts of electricity, and small wide spread blasts of flame. His studies are not only of the destructive forces however, as elves teach that magic is not control over these and other elements of reality, but an understanding and pact with such forces. His other teachings involve the elf learning about the natural forces of rimoria, the forces that come from planar influence, basic study of arcanic history, as well as the study of more mundane history. In his century of study he has also learned all of the elemental languages, using them alongside draconic in reciting and scribing his spells.

Alvaeth wishes to master his concept of magic. He wishes to gain more respect for the elemental side of magic, learn more about it, and one day create pacts and alliances with various elemental forces. Although his magic is typically used for combat and destruction, he hopes to use his magic to better not only himself, but the lot of others as well. He is a good natured being at heart, and doesnt lose himself to the chaotic impulses common to his kind, instead, he's learned a great deal about restraint and responsability with his destructive and potent skills. Magic is not all about the elements and nature, no, he understands the mystical tether that binds these forces, and uses his craft to change, alter, or direct great blasts of not only elements, but also of pure arcane forces, and raw eldritch energy.

Alvaeth wants to adventure to master his skill. He has the most basic grasp of his craft, but needs true life experience to go beyond his current capabilities. He of course wants all that comes with a life of adventuring, such as wealth, fame, and increased power, but plans on using any of his gain to help better no only his family, but of East Hill itself, as he values it as a beloved and true home to him. With all the turmoil that has happened recently, Alvaeth sees that now more than ever Rimoria could use more wizards with great power to help protect those that are incapable of defending themselves. Who better to do so than one that could bring the very essence of the elemental planes to bare against his foes.

Socially Alvaeth is fairly active. He attempts to maintain good relations with his neighbors and his family, and when seen away from his studies he tends to be relaxing with other elves, or in the company of other arcanists. Due to his studies he has no intimate social connections, having devoted a great deal of his life to his study of magic.

Alvaeth worships Correllon exclusively. He respects his god as his people creator, and as a god of war related magic. He honors his god by carrying a silver crescent moon pendant. Although he respects the gods worshipped by humans that govern magic, his is more concerned with his own gods teaching as well as the few great elemental powers that have deific sentience.

Politicaly Alvaeth respects the laws that have been set down by the ruling body of Hammerdul and attempts to adhere to them at all times. He also believes that no matter what, the right thing can be accomplished while still remaining within the morale and written laws of the land. He respects the humans that govern the land, and hopes that more can be done to repair all the damage done by the recent wars and threats (inferana) that have ravaged the lands. Being an elf he has no hope of every doing anything political within the kingdom itself, but does hope to one day be able to help his kingdom on a significant level. He still respects and misses his elven homeland, and hopes to see it again very soon, but as for now he's content to settle and thrive in the human run lands, to better understand protect and guide the many other denizens of rimoria.

(Ok, theres a little background for my gm to play with. I'll have more soon)
