1. What race does your character belong to?
I was born of elvish parentage, specifically of a Wood-Elf Mother and High-Elf Father.
2. How would you describe your character?
I am likable, comedic, vulgar, cunning, flirtatious, dependable, and sometimes hot-tempered, but never vindictive.
3. Is your character a thinker or a fighter?
A mix of both, though I favor to exhaust my options before swordplay.
4. What about your character's family? What were they like?
My mother, Elænnir Leoros, was a trapper and trader, and showed me the Ways of the Wild. It is through her I thank for many a times to be quick on my feet and quicker in mind.
My father, Dorén Leoros, was a High Paladin of Obad-hai, and a swordmaster in his own right. It is through he I thank for many a times to defend myself and others, but to seek words first before my blade.
My adopted brother, Zayl Bloodwynd, is a peculiar sort of elf, and Leader of the Black Wald Wardens. Though distant and perceived villainous, he innately wants to do good through darker means. It is he the reason that I adopted his last name as well, because of a bond of brothers that remains strong.
My wife, Ezealia Leoros Bloodwynd, is a wild elf Druid. She is sprightly as a flower, and as beautiful as morning dew. She tends to be more feral and aggressive than most elves, but she is sweet and motherly towards all.
5. What is your character's main motivation?
To explore, enjoy the world and life, and defend The Mother Tree.
6. Who is the one person your character trusts most?
Zayl Bloodwynd, because he is my brother and trusted friend, and Ezealia Leoros Bloodwynd, my wife.
7. What is your character's greatest strength? Greatest weakness?
My strengths are being silver-tongued, dependability, and decent swordplay. My weaknesses lies in a triggered temper, curiosity, and bold (often vulgar) statements.
8. What does your character think of honor?
I was raised to help everyone in any way I can, and the value of a person goes only as far as keeping his word.
9. What is your character's own opinion of his race/tribe?
I am always intending on siding with those who are righteous and of pure cause, even if it means working with other races I may not always enjoy, or going against my race entirely.
10. Does your character have any prejudices?
He finds leadership positions boring and tedious, though he himself can be charismatic as one. Hates orcs due to a wild band killing his parents, and setting their home ablaze.
11. Was your character married?
Yes, to the wild elf Ezealia Leoros Bloodwynd.
.
12. To whom does your character owe the most loyalty?
The Mother Tree, but especially to Ezealia.
13. What are your character's favorite (and least favorite) things?
I love nature and the city, books, and traveling. I dislike orcs, but that is minimal compared to undead, demons, and infernal beings. Also, tentacles freak me out.
14. Does your character have any recurring mannerisms?
I tend to start off saying “Well,…” (and ending with “…my dear” towards women-folk). Another thing is that I tend to do is scratch my earlobe out of habit, usually when nervous or put into a pensive thought.
15. What about your character's psychology?
I am charismatic, much of what one could describe as the ‘entertainer’. I feel as if I have to put on a show, even if it means putting a performance to mask my true motives.
16. How would your character handle an insubordinate servant?
With a firm hand and a gentle heart. They’re still people after all.
17. How would your character's parents describe him?
Always getting into trouble, but quickly getting out of it as well. I have always had the potential, but never realizing I could achieve so much more.
18. What are your character's highest ambitions?
To promote peace, but to see the entirety of the world to do good in.
19. How religious is your character?
Somewhat religious, to an extent. He favors ideals over gods, but respects the Beings on High with utmost humility.
20. Does your character support or subvert authority?
I support just authority, but when deemed corrupted, will try to help take it down.
21. If you could, what advice would you give your character?
“Work on your form, both in your mind and in your body.”

Additional Trivia:
Stands about the average size of a man, athletically built, light red hair and light grayish blue-green eyes. Wears fancy clothing (as akin to a cavalier) and a most ridiculously feathered hat, with long leather coat included. Prefers the use of daggers, rapiers, shortswords, sabers, spears, and greatswords, though will occasionally pick up a shield. Prefers lighter armors, as he benefits by high mobility and speed. Is afflicted with lycanthropy, though he embraces it as a gift of the Mother Tree to be more in 'communion' with nature. He wanders into the forest when it is time for his affliction, hunting wild game.
