Re: Shattering of Gems: Birth of Darkness

Name: Hakim 'Goldblade'
Age: 591
Element: Wood/Earth
Sex: Male
Class: Fighter
Equipment:

Weapons:
The Twin Blade: A pair of swords created by the master forgers of the Tenderleaf clan, both are exactly 35 inches long, shorter than your average elven longsword with no technical adornment. The hilt of each blade is made from a length of sturdy wood with an iron wrought centre with leather wrappings covering the surface. Each blade as no protective guard, but the hilt itself has 4 grooves, the top most with a large additional mass climbing from it. These fit Hakim’s hands perfectly, and no others. A small leaf has been carved into the pommel of each of the hilts, as a sign of respect. On a mental command, the blades are drawn together and merge into one, 35 inches long with a solid oak handle. The command word is known only to Hakim, and possibly any representatives of the tenderleaf clan. [This is my magical item, if you don’t mind]

Armour:
Elven Rangers Leather This leather armour is very well made, a patchwork of pressed hides and small metal scales. Each surface on the armour has been blackened, to avoid catching the light.

Other Possessions
  • Small wooden flute
  • Assorted belt pouches of spices, herbs and otherwise medicinal beneficiaries
  • A dark green to black set of ‘adventuring’ gear, cloak, boots, shirt, trousers etc…
  • A small amount of gold
  • A journal, quill and pot of ink
  • Charcoal whittled into pencils.

History:
Hakim was born into what some might consider a good position in life, granted, he was still young, but his family was fairly well off, with a high station in social circles and a distinctive fortune in things other than money. His first days as a child were harsh, and his distaste for the life of a noble soon shone through. However, his distaste for nobility soon became hypocritical, as his parents bought him a place within a high class school, where he academically shone as an outstanding pupil. He also took lessons from a private tutor with his spending money, who taught him the art of dance, and after some years, swordsmanship. His scholastic studies took him into the realm of tactics and battle strategy, a study he found both rewarding and artful. The last noteworthy event in his young life was a dance performance in front of the nobility of the area, small, but important for his confidence.

After reaching his 550th birthday, Hakim cast off his noble lifestyle and took to the earth, wandering in search of answers to his inner questions. With his searching, he stumbled across part of a holy wood, Skyshroud, forbidden to enter by the clan who occupies it; The Tenderleaf Clan. After some hours, he was captured, and dragged before the prince, who asked him to participate in the clans annual orc hunt, after stating his business. To cut a long story to the shorts, Hakim proceeded to win the hunt, earning his freedom, one gift from the clan, and the eternal friendship of the prince, zappa. Hakim had a pair of swords commissioned, and enchanted, in the style of the Tenderleaf Clan, Serving with them until the present day.

Appearance:
Hakim is a tall elf, 6’2” Tall, with a slender well muscled frame. He wears predominantly black, in his armour, and a light green tunic for formal occasions. His hair, is shoulder length and well groomed as well as dyed bright red, to almost match the members of the Tenderleaf Clan.

And I’m done 
