Strengths: He is a skilled archer, a competent swordsman, an elemental mage, a hunter and a tracker. He is also fast.

Weakness: He is not very agile and vulnerable to attack against his mind; also, he has a mental block against using his magic unless his subconscious believes that his life is in danger. His magic is physically demanding and the element must be present before he can use that element in a fight. On top of that the amount of the element that is there affects the power of the spells he can cast.

Skills/Magic: He has a mental block against using his magic unless his subconscious believes that his life is in danger. His magic is physically demanding and the element must be present before he can use that element in a fight. On top of that the amount of the element that is there affects the power of the spells he can cast. The more of the elements present the more powerful the spells he can cast, fire is required for fire spells, water for water spells, air for air spells and earth for earth spells. Fire is mainly used as a weapon, and earth is mainly used for defence, but air and water both can be used for many things. He is a hunter and a tracker and has been for his entire life, as well as a skilled archer. He was given basic training in the army with a sword and is only considered competent with one.

Personality: He is a patient loner, an impulsive individual who is slow to trust, but very loyal once he does. Patient, he will look after those who he thinks need it. He is slow to anger, but also slow to forget and believes in himself and his skills.

Appearance: He is a well muscled elf, his face all hard angles as if chipped from stone, his eyes cold and hard as ice. He wares a black band tied around his head, an ankle length black leather coat, a white shirt and black trousers, with a pair of dark boots finishing his outfit. A black dragon coiled around a sword tattooed on his back, covering the whole of it underneath his shirt and coat.

History: He grew up in a small village on the eastern edge of the elven lands, with his mother and father. As a child he was happy enough, always exploring the forest which was near his home, but without any other children in the village near his age. When he went exploring he was always accompanied by his father who patrolled the forest for signs of dangerous beasts, to keep the villagers safe from anything that might be nearby. But it was mainly a ceremonial position, as nothing had bothered the village for years.
Then the war began and Kyran’s father was one of the first to be called to join the military and the war when Kyran was eighteen. For the next seven years he continued to patrol the forest, searching for signs of either beasts or the armies of the enemy, finding bands of them twice. Once it was a small group which was easily dealt with, the other time they came in a large group, which burned the village to the ground. The villagers fought back and were able to kill the raiders to the man, but for Kyran it was a hollow victory; his mother was among the dead, and he left the village.
He joined the army at the age of twenty-five, as young as was legally possible, spending the required time learning to use a sword. While in the army he was employed as a scout, which his life in the forest had prepared him for, but kept to himself and was never really one of the squad he was attached to.
After two years he was made part of a task force that was to infiltrate the enemy HQ and kill as many of their leaders as possible, and then escape. In this group he found others that were like him, and began to relax for the first time since leaving his village.. However, they were ambushed before they could even get close, and only two of them survived, him and one other named Jack.
They found a village, intending to get supplies before continuing and what they saw shocked them to the very core. The village was almost completely desolate through hunger, while, the pair knew, the nobles and their armies had more than enough to eat. The few that were left were running around, spending as little time outside as possible, as if they were expecting an attack any minute.
Both of them deserted on the spot, unable to support a government that would do this to their people. They began to travel the world together, keeping the weapons that they had been given, but loosing the armour and the uniform that they had been given as both would identify them as deserters. The war was over within a year, the government overthrown within a second year and the world moved on.
After four years of adventuring, travelling around the world and looking for anything which they could feel that they could commit to, they met a middle aged elf who said that he was an elementalist mage and that Kyran had talent. He said that he would teach Kyran, if Kyran would earn it by being a servant while he was still an apprentice. He agreed, after the mage showed them some of his power, and the pair parted company.
Kyran trained for three years with the mage, who confessed to be not much more than an apprentice himself, before the mage said that he could teach him no more. Kyran would need to find a mage more skilled and talented if he planed to learn more, so Kyran set off to finish travelling through all the lands of the world and to find someone to teach him more.
He discovered he had a mental block that cut off almost all of his power unless his life was threatened when a fight broke out in a bar he was in, only just escaping severe concussion when someone tried to hit him with a chair.
Kyran soon grew tired of travel for travels sake and began to seek adventures, as he had done before, soon after leaving the mage and he has been seeking adventure to this day.
