Bunching characters into one thread seems like the cool thing nowadays. So here we are:

Kami

Name: Kami

Race: Elf

Gender: Male

Eye Colour: Green

Hair: Brown, shoulder-length

Age: 24

Height: 6”4’

Weight: 109lb

Weapon(s): A long-bow that he keeps on his back and an elven sword

Armour: leather padding on his torso. His legs are left unshielded for agility.

Skills/Magic: Various elemental spells to increase the strength or accuracy of his arrows. If Kami is near death he can use a spell to give him a last burst of energy where he can hopefully kill his opponent before dying

Appearance: A thin, agile frame, small nose and sharp, intruding eyes. His hair is straight whenever he gets the chance to work on it. Most elves are vain and Kami is no different, aside from this he is a skilled hunter. He is usually clean-shaven. His feet are small and silent and he has long bony hands.
Kami wears greens and browns to blend into his surroundings and surprise his foes. He has a number of tunics that don’t serve any purpose other than to show him off though and he wears these at celebrations or formalities.

Strengths: Quick and skilled with the bow. His magic isn't as good as most elves but he makes up for it with a accurate bow shot and strong sword arm. He is ruthless and won’t think about killing an innocent man.

Weaknesses: His magic isn’t very strong and he bruises easily because of his thin frame. He tends to be vain too and can become distracted by his looks. He was always trained to fight with weapons so without them he is virtually powerless because most of his spells revolve around them.

Personality: Ruthless, stubborn and cold-hearted. But if you become friends with him an amazing being unfolds before you. He is a bit of a romantic too so when he is not tracking down killers and bandits he is in a banquet hall with elven women. As I have mentioned before he is vain, but only in his looks. He is always looking for a challenge and is eager to have a duel or join brigades intent on cutting down the bandit population. He doesn’t have many friends but the ones he do have are the reason why he isn’t an insane killer chopping little children.
He is a complicated person and has many sides to him, it is impossible to guess his mood because smiles don’t come easy to him and there is never anything showing in his eyes. His emotions are always running high, one minute he is a ruthless stalker and the next he needs a hug. Kami has been strange ever since his parents were kidnapped and is never quick to become attached to someone for fear of losing them.

Bio: Kami was born in a forest long forgotten by humans. His parents were loving and kind and raised him in their large tree house for three years before he ventured into the forest. He tried to make friends several times but was ridiculed because of his brown hair (elves had either jet black or silver hair).
Instead of playing with the rest of the children in the clearing where his parents lived he went exploring. He became very in-tune wit nature, more so than regular elves and made friends with the squirrels and rabbits instead of elves.
He had a happy life walking through the forest talking to the animals and he never said that he missed elven contact. Usually every day he walked down a small brook where small animals gathered to drink and collect nuts and berries to reward the animals with. His life continued happily until he was twelve when he was asleep one night.

Kami woke with a start as he heard a large bang, guessing that it was an old tree far off collapsing he peered out of his tree. The tree-house opposite him had fell, he looked down at the stump and saw that the severed part of the tree was clean-cut. Kami knew it must have been bandits, rogue elves cast out by civilization for not abiding by the law. He climbed out of his tree and ran toward the guard tower intending to alert the watch-men. The sight the met his eyes made him want to vomit, before his eye's he saw the bodies of to dead elves, fathers, brothers, husbands, dead. He started bolting towards the nearest tree to spread the word of the cretins before he heard a massive "thud" and went to explore the noise. This time the fallen tree wasn't a neighbour's, it was his. He frantically searched around it for his parents, their corpses or whatever he could find. All there was were his possesions. Picking up a sword that stayed in his parent's bedroom he vowed to find these, monsters, and destroy them for taking away his town, his life. Kami sombrely got out of the tree and caught the bandits just as they were leaving but he was too slow, they got away, but he could see that terrified faces of his parents being dragged over the shoulders' of two of the bandits. He lay down and cried until a woman came and found him in the morning. He shrugged off her hand and walked out of the clearing, secretly thinking he would never return again.

He headed toward the elven capital, Orion, which was about twelve miles away. He stopped for one night and gave himself a chance to think. One question was rolling around in his head, "Why do they want my parents?" He didn't have an aswer two hours later so he gave up and went to sleep .No animals bothered him because he had befriended him in his adolescence, but that had been stripped away from him, leaving a cold, revenge-seeking assassin. It took him three days to reach Orion, there he found a man named Ismera and told him the story. Ismera agreed to take him in and alert the ruler of Orion that a new recruit was starting training.

A week later Kami was in the training hall with the coach, Mika, along with seven other warriors-to-be. He excelled in swordsmanship and using the bow but his magic was worse than the others. He trained six hours a day then spent the rest of it exploring Orion.
He trained for four years before leaving the great forest, ready to hunt down his parents killers. For another four years he travelled around gathering information and attacking bandits. Then, in a large city now named Giza he found a piece of information concerning bandits raiding a clearing in the great forest eight years ago. He was on the trail for his parents' kidnappers.
