Il va sans dire que Kellen n'a pas été ravi par la nature féroce du grand loup qui avait poussé les trois chevaliers et les dépêché facilement. Bien que lorsque la bête a pressé son nez doucement contre la frayeur pour gagner son parfum, tout ce malaise semblait fondre. Beaming, Kellen a utilisé ses doigts pour frotter doucement derrière les oreilles de Kolgrin avant que la créature ne se lève de lui.
"Je suis dans ta dette, magnifique créature." Il parla d'un murmure houleux, regardant le loup se replier dans les bois. Assis sur le chemin pendant un moment, Kellen a finalement décidé qu'il avait eu assez d'excitation pour une nuit. Se tenant debout et se dépoussiérant, il monta rapidement sur l'arbre le plus proche avec une grâce agile peu commune pour les créatures de sa taille. Perché sur la branche, il avait l'intention de retourner vers son saule au bord du lac quand une sensation l'a submergé.
Kellen regarda de nouveau l'endroit où son ami à quatre pattes était parti. Surmonter une étrange sensation de mélancolie, Kellen ne pouvait pas s'amener à mettre cet événement derrière lui aussi facilement qu'il l'avait prévu. En tournant complètement son corps, Kellen commença à sauter d'une branche à l'autre. Bien qu'au lieu de retourner à son saule, il était parti dans la direction où le grand loup s'était enfui.
Le suivi de Kolgrin s'est révélé plus difficile que Kellen ne l'avait pensé au départ. Il semblait que la bête possédait à la fois le cerveau et se vantait; une pensée qui rendait la frayeur assez giddy. Les humains avaient une mauvaise habitude de voir les nombreux animaux des bois comme des êtres de moindre intelligence. Kellen avait toujours eu une inclination naturelle envers les animaux de la forêt, lui permettant de les comprendre à des niveaux que les humains ne pouvaient pas comprendre. Malgré cela, il lui avait fallu plus de temps que d'habitude pour tracer les pas du loup plus tôt. Finalement, il avait trouvé son chemin vers ce qui semblait être un camping. En s'approchant d'une distance sécuritaire, Kellen perché haut au-dessus dans un arbre voisin et a commencé à observer la scène. Il y avait quelques figures autour des flammes. Kellen les a pris pour des humains. Après sa récente descente, il avait un peu peur de s'approcher d'un autre humain. Bien que le site de Kolgrin parmi eux était certainement rassurant. En s'éloignant d'une branche plus proche, Kellen tomba silencieusement de la canopée pour pouvoir contempler le groupe au niveau du sol. Lors d'une inspection plus étroite, il semble qu'il y ait aussi un elfe et un jeune enfant avec le groupe.
Peut-être devrait-il se présenter? Non, la seule pensée était suffisante pour le rendre tendu. Il aurait dû s'approcher d'eux, le loup avait son parfum après tout. Bien que quelques minutes de regarder de l'ombre seraient bien.
Name: Kellen Hreidmar
Age: 46
Race: Feyfolk
Fey, or Fairy, is a term that covers a wide variety of whimsical creatures that dwell within nature. Sprites, Gnomes and Nymphs are all beings who are known as Feyfolk. With such diverse features, it's impossible to really list commonalities between the Feyfolk.
Each Fey is unique in their own way, much like humans, though their differences can be much more outlandish such as having extra appendages,
being smaller in size, or possessing animal traits and mannerisms.
The only defining characteristic of the Fey is that they are all creatures with a strong bond to the natural world. Every Fey is deeply connected to the happenings of their respective forest, river or mountain. They are creatures who are said to communicate with the world as if it were a dear friend.
Looks: An androgynous charmer with a mystically alluring aesthetic and boyish charm, Kellen is seen by most to be conventionally attractive. The Fey are known for their tantalizing visages and youthful aura. Even despite his age, Kellen appears to be no older than a young adolescent. This is partly due to the fact that his race are known to have lifespans that far exceed that of humans. In the eyes of his people, Kellen is still a fledgling.
Big brown eyes with an effervescent glint that arouses mischief, curtained by thick lashes and soft, rosy cheeks, Kellen has a very feminine appearance. His locks of ash blond hair are left to their own messy devices. Kellen's hair is often braided with beads and flowers as well as a number of strange trinkets that are commonplace among humans; corks, keys and even jewelry in some cases.
Kellen's figure is quite lithe and lanky; lean muscled with a tall stature. His torso is adorned with various glyphs and markings that possess an incandescent glow when exposed to moonlight. Though the most peculiar part of his appearance by far is his lower body. Around his abdomen, his skin starts to be covered in a thick plumage of feathers. Red, brown and white patterns span the entirety of his waist and legs, culminating in a pair of fierce talons that function as his feet. The same feather pattern is found on his forearms as well, with his fingertips being sharp claws. He has been known to tuck his own feathers behind his ears for good luck.
With such an outrageous appearance, Kellen usually dons a large, thick brown cloak so that he is able to spy on humans without drawing too much attention to himself.
Bio: Kellen was born under the full moon by a small pond. Like most Fey, his birth was not conventional by the standards of humans. He grew from inside the bud of a small flower and when it bloomed it brought Kellen into the world. No smaller than a thumb, Kellen stayed by his flowerbed until he would grow to fend for himself. While he was still a newborn Fey, Kellen would often see strange creatures with a similar visage to his own come and go by the pond he was born. With his first interactions with humans, Kellen soon became highly invested in their strange quirks and mannerisms.
By the time Kellen was able to leave his flowerbed, he had already grown into a young man rivaling the size of most humans. His fascination with their race continued to grow, leading him to spend countless hours watching them in their homes or going about their daily life. He would often sneak into their residences while they slept and take little bits and bobs as souvenirs. Though this would not be enough for him to achieve his true goal. Kellen wished to be able to live among humans. Though he knew it to be impossible with his strange appearance. For the first time, Kellen started to become self conscious of his own appearance. Despite this, he was steadfast in his plan to watch and learn everything he could from humanity.
Other: As a Fey, Kellen possesses a variety of unique magical traits as well as some more natural skills that help him survive out in the woods. He possesses a natural empathy towards nature; able to sense unnatural disturbances in the air around him as well as commune with various forms of wildlife.
He is exceptionally skilled at tracking, able to pick up on minute details with his keen eyes. He is even able to move relatively quietly when in the woods, though not anywhere else.
When dealing with humans, Kellen has a magical charisma about him that allows him to more easily persuade weak minded individuals when it comes to diplomatic discussions. This is mostly useful for securing bargains or winning an argument. Though he does possess one magical talent where he is able to place a human into a deep slumber; though he is still quite inexperienced with this talent and cannot sleep more than one person per day. Even then, a human with a strong enough will can resist the magic.
