NAME: Annemarie
CHARACTER NAME: Oakroot
RACE: elf
GENDER: male
PURE\ANIMAL BLOODED (IF ANIMAL, SPECIFY WHICH): WolfBlooded
SOUL NAME: Orl
KNOWN BY: --
LIFE\LOVEMATE: TBD
CUB(S): none yet
AGE: 839
HEIGHT: 5”1’
HAIR: His long wavy hair is kept in place with a couple of bands. And his beard and body hair match the dark brown color. He has been thinking to cut his hair short several times, but never does.
EYES: He has a handsome look, proud, and always steady gaze, with eerie blue eyes that seem to almost glow.
SKIN TONE: fair skinned, with a generous amount of body hair on his chest (generous for elves, which is to say ‘any’)
BODY TYPE: He is solidly muscular from head to foot. In comparison to other Wolfriders he is one of the tallest.
MARKS\SCARS\OUTSTANDING FEATURES: he has a series of long-healed claw-mark scars across his shoulders.
CLOTHING: He has dark almost-black brown leggings of leather, and a tan-beige colored soft leather shirt, which he often keeps wrapped with a wide cloth belt around his waist when it’s warm. Also he has soft wrapped leather shoes, and arm bands on his forearms. He generally wears leathers, though freely admits to enjoying the soft feel of silks and other woven items that the Sea elves share.
JEWELRY: --
WEAPONS: In the past he always hunted more or less exclusively with a sturdy spear. He is more than adept enough at spear work (hand held, rather than thrown) that he can instruct anyone who wishes to learn more about it.
But after his attack by the two longtooths he wanted to learn more to defend himself and others from a distance and practised with the bow and slingshot. It will take many moons of practise before he masters the bow and the slingshot, he never gets really good with the bow, but from a short distance he can hit a target. His favorite weapon now is the slingshot and is better with it then any other weapon, though he never leaves on a hunt without bow or spear too..
SPECIAL POSSESSIONS: --
ABILITIES: Though Oakroot has an average sending ability, it’s possible that with his improbable survival of the massive attack which would have left anyone else dead, he may have some form of internal, hidden healing power. He has never been able to use this consciously, nor has anyone with any sensing ability been able to determine whether it’s actually true – he also has not Recognized so there’s no telling what his offspring might carry. In search for how he survived the attack he meditates, tries to soulsearch, but only after he is faced with terror he finds his powers (healing and fleshshaping in small form) and his soulname!
SKILLS: quite good with a hand-held spear, sparring with it, and hunting with them; adequate but not great with a bow and arrow, usually close range and larger prey; wilderness survival, animal tracking, animal observation. He has learned how to use a slingshot and is really good at it.
FAMILY: TBD, but he has one younger brother Redfern.
ORIGIN: Oakroot belongs to a split-off-tribe of the Wolfriders. They went their own way early on.
PERSONAL HISTORY AND INFORMATION:
PERSONALITY: Oakroot should be more stoic than he seems to be, given the absolutely grim determination he showed in the past. But if there’s something that he carries with him more than the scars on his body, it’s a staunch love of life, rather than the fear of it. He has become less impulsive and more careful about his hunting habits, and his not-so-subtle choice to change weapons for hunting bear this out. He’s the kind of elf who loves to kick back and tell stories about those scars, though he would not start up a conversation about them specifically, because he knows some people are put off by them.
Oakroot is a hunter, an elder and a holtguardian.
LIKES: dreamberries (oh please oh please can I have some more of that ‘wine’ please?), cool days and warm furs, physical activity and having something to do. He also likes to try make day to day items, weapons, bowls and more. And he is known to make some of his own clothes. He also loves to cook, but his specialty is preparing birds in a cookpit, especially quails!
DISLIKES: Longtooth cats, being alone, seeing anyone in pain, bad dreams, not having a wolf-friend.
HISTORY: For a great many years, Oakroot is considered a good hunter and scout. But around 400 years ago or so, he had been doing a walkabout in the surrounding hills of his former holt (as he often would) and came across a newcomer to the area: a young male longtooth cat. They had hardly been seen in that specific area and he felt this would be a challenging hunt. He was very right: but he also hadn’t counted on the longtooth’s mate hunting him while he stalked the male. In this fight, he managed to fatally wound the female before she did any damage, but the male took the opportunity and sprang. The long sets of scars that still cover Oakroot’s body show that the cat had him literally in his mouth before Oakroot dealt a final, fatal strike with his spear. The wounds somehow didn’t kill Oakroot, and he lay half-dead for a good number of days before he roused himself and crept to his holt proper. Though he was offered magical healing, it seemed he didn’t actually need it. His muscles function just fine under his shoulder scars, he suffers no ill effects from the obviously deep puncture wound that likely hit his trachea. For this reason, some call him ‘High-Ones Blessed’ but he hardly even thinks that’s appropriate.
Since the attack, however, Oakroot changed his tactics radically, picking up a bow and slingshot and learning to use it slowly. While he may be brave and extraordinarily lucky, he’s not stupid – he paces himself and makes sure that when he hunts now, he does so with adequate protection as well as with friends around him.
Perhaps the best word to use to describe him is ‘undeterred’. He may have changed course, but that’s never stopped him from enjoying his life. He won’t foolishly throw it away, having come so close to losing it, but neither will he pull back so far that he doesn’t get to enjoy any of it.
Life is too good to hide from it.
He started travelling a lott, feeling he needed to be somewhere else. So he travelled many times, untill one day he didn’t returned. Only a few moons ago did Oakroot discover Ocean’s Edge and decided he would stay here and make this his new home.
He has not met the Ocean's Edge-elves yet. (He has made a home where the elves will go.....)
COLORS\SYMBOLS: coming from the woods, he prefers the colors of the trees. Browns, Tans, Green.
KNOWLEDGE\OPINION OF:
HUMANS: his holt has dealt with humans and he doesn’t like them, nor dislike them. He tries to avoid them.
TROLLS: only after he came to Ocean’s Edge did he learn of Trolls.
PRESERVERS: same as Trolls
OTHER ELVES: he had always hoped other tribes had survived and is please to have finally found them.
BOND BEAST: It has been many years since Oakroot has had a wolf friend. He hadn’t had one at the time of the longtooth attack, and spent many eights between having them in the past, though he has had at least four wolf-friends in his life. He feels, and rightly so, that if he’d had a wolf-bond he wouldn’t have been attacked by the longtooth cats. He is not activly searching for a new wolf-friend, but finding his new friend will happen when he least expects it!

He has traveled and been through a lot like Kimu. I'd say they could swap stories but I am thinking She would not be eased into it lightly.
