Maeglin Elensar

Another character for me lol. Sorry if it gets confusing with all the names >.> I was trying to be original

Name: Maeglin Elensar
Age: Appears to be about 17-20, but his appearance belies his true age
Gender: Male
Race: Alcarin, a tribe of woodland elves
Height: 5’9”
Weight: 118 lbs.
Eye Color: Aquamarine, flaming when he’s angry or in battle
Hair: Silver, sleek, straight, fairly long (goes down to his neck)

Residence: Tinuviel forest, home of the Alcarin.

Weapons:
Elrohir-
A thin, curved sword with one sharp edge like a katana. It was crafted from the finest, strongest metal, and the hilt is made of a gold colored metal. It looks of great value, but the Alcarin take great pride in their weaponry and make all things of the highest possible quality.

Celahir-
Elrohir’s twin blade. Both blades are identical except Celahir’s hilt is made of a silver colored metal and Elrohir’s of a gold like metal.

Bow and arrows-
A bow which he made himself with the help of Larien. (See Caranthir)

Garments:
Maeglin is clad in a long sleeved, black silk undershirt and a Chainmail vest of high quality made by a skilled craftsman of the Alcarin. His pants are made of a heavy, silk like material; they are off white in color, and suspended by a leather belt. His boots and gloves (they are very strong so one may call them gauntlets) are made of the skin of an elusive deer creature that lives in the Tinuviel forest. (See history)

Techniques:
Maeglin
Aeran- a technique taught to young swordsman of the Alcarin. Once Maeglin has significantly wounded a foe, he is able to draw out power from the wound(s) and go on a rampage with his blades, slashing every which way.

Larien
Caranthir Roll- a Caranthir technique learned at an early age, Larien simply rolls her body into the shape of a ball, folding up her nine tails, and rolls at the target at full force.

Strengths:
Maeglin’s greatest strength is his speed. He is a very fast warrior, even among his people, the Alcarin. He excels at countering, parrying, blocking and dodging, but he can still attack well. He wields his double bladed sword with incredible speed, and is quick to execute combos. Larien is always by his side and watches over him.

Weaknesses:
He has great speed, but not the best attack power. Also, if he is separated from Larien, he becomes significantly weaker and worries about her.

Caranthir:
Caranthir are fairly small, and a bit skunk-like in body structure and appearance. (But larger than a skunk) Their fur is pure, shinning white in color, except at the ends of their tails, which are light blue, and they only live in Tinuviel Forest. They have nine, long, sleek, beautiful tails said to grant luck to anyone the creature is fond of. And at times, their tails give off a mysterious glow and have magical powers. Their magic is quite random, the Caranthir themselves can’t control when it happens. Despite their cute, innocent appearance, they are quite wise, and know much of many other lands and creatures even though they have never seen them. They also can be aggressive when provoked and have sharp fangs and claws.

Each Alcarin is given a baby Caranthir when they first make a pilgrimage to the top of Beren Mountain, where the Gwindor is said to rest. The Gwindor grants the young Alcarin brave enough to climb to the peak their own Caranthir baby and it becomes their companion, guardian and friend for life. Once an Alcarin and a Caranthir have bonded, they are able to speak telepathically to each other and always know what each other are thinking.

Maeglin’s Caranthir is a female named Larien. It also happens that Maeglin was the youngest Alcarin ever to climb the peak and receive a Caranthir.

Appearance:
Maeglin looks like an elf in appearance, like any other normal Alcarin. He is average height, average build, he appears fairly thin, but is actually quite strong. He wears a black sleeved undershirt and a very high-quality chainmail vest and silk-like white pants. He is always seen with his guardian Caranthir and best friend, Larien and with his two blades, Elrohir and Celahir strapped to his back.

Personality:
Maeglin is very outgoing and ambitious, and he has always dreamt of leaving his forest home to see new lands. He is brave and trustworthy, although maybe a tad naïve at times. He loves nothing more than Larien, his Caranthir and best friend.

History:

Tinuviel Forest
Behold, this ancient forest, there is something…tranquil about it, one might even call it magical that outsiders cannot put a finger on. Ancient forest spirits rest within this sacred place that watch over all beings in the forest, me and you. The leader of these shapeless spirits, Gwindor he is called or the Great Wisp to outsiders, commands everything within the forest, he created we Alcarin, the spirits, the trees, sky, birds and everything within the forest. And he will always watch over and protect you in times of strife…
~Ancient Alcarin Myth

The creation of the Alcarin
The Gwindor created the Alcarin, you and I, in the image of the Elven people he loved so much. We were destined to live in peace, prosperity and joy forever in this forest…
~Ancient Alcarin Myth

A few notes about Alcarin
~They age very slowly, and once they reach the appearance of about a 20-25 year old, (1000 Alcarin years) they stop aging and live forever.

~They live forever in their forest homes unless they are killed in battle (as do their Caranthir, once they are grown)

~Each one is given a Caranthir

~They have no parents, and are created by the Gwindor

Maeglin’s life

Maeglin was always an outgoing and adventurous young Alcarin, and he always dreamt of seeing new lands outside of his forest home. He didn’t have many friends growing up, but adored his Caranthir Larien, and she adored him as well. The two of them were inseparable companions, ever since the brave young lad had climbed to the top of Beren Mountain and received her…all the young ones were jealous, he was only 34, the youngest age ever to accomplish such a feat.

When he was 57 (still very young), and Larien fully grown, they ventured out together to search for the Thenteles, the legendary deer creature of the forest which has a hide as strong as a dragon’s scales. Larien spotted the creature first. Maeglin, come quick, it doesn’t see me yet! Maeglin quickly came to Larien’s location and spotted the Thenteles resting in a clearing. Larien, use your roll attack! He said to his Caranthir. She swiftly rolled her body up into a ball and rolled at breakneck speed through the brush and grass, at the Thenteles and it woke, but it was too late. Larien’s attack connected, and knocked the creature out cold. Great job, Larien! Maeglin said as he moved in to deliver the final blow to the beast. Afterwards, Maeglin skinned the creature, and made gloves and boots out of the tough leathery skin.

The quiet, peaceful life at Tinuviel Forest was too perfect. But alas, it did not last. When warriors of far off lands discovered their sacred home, there was nothing but trouble. They invaded, and at first the Alcarin and Caranthir together were able to fight them off, but it did not last, more and more came.

Maeglin was given two blades, Elrohir and Celahir, and taught the ways of the sword. The Alcarin needed to be ready for a war whether they would have it or not. One day, when Larien and Maeglin were exploring the forest, Maeglin decided to make himself a bow and some arrows out of a mighty tree. He cut down the tree after much toil, and carved away with Elrohir at the tree, forming a bow. He strung it with the Thentele’s heartstring, believing it was wrong to not use any part of the animal he had slain. When he was finished, Larien enchanted it with her magic, and blessed it with the magic of her nine tails. Maeglin made some wooden arrows later, but they were eventually replaced with iron ones from his people.

When Maeglin learned the ways of the sword better than any other Alcarin of any age, they sent him off on a journey with Larien to combat those who threatened their way of life, believing he could save them…Maeglin was overjoyed, always he had wanted to see new lands…

Hmm... not bad...not bad at all. Approved.
