Name: Eli Shaw
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Hails From: Liadi
Ranking: Archer
Weapons: Maple Bow; dagger
Abilities: Fletching;
Companions: N/A
Occupation: Fletcher
Appearance: Eli is a black haired native of Liadi. He stands at around 6 foot 2 inches and is of medium build. His eagle like eyes are brown with a range that perhaps exceeds expectation hence why he took up archery at a young age. Since Eli is as self sufficient as possible his clothes and possession are scrappy and his clothes in particular are known to be a little dirty and at times extremely ragged and torn.
Personality: Having lost his parents at the age of 12 Eli really forged his own personality quickly and without much influence from his peers. A hard working and determined individual, Eli is always focused on the task at hand. However, when he is around a group or in a comfortable environment Eli is renowned to be always up for a joke as he is fun loving and even a little eccentric.
History: Growing up in a family known for their time spent out at sea it seemed only fitting that Eli would be destined to do what his father and even mother did day in, day out; fish. However, following a cruel twist of fate on a stormy day all of that changed. Despite the woeful conditions on that day, Eli, a 12 year old only child, watched his mother and father set sail for the very last time as they strived to gather some fish on a day when even the most veteran sailors were wary as they set their sales. Days past and there was still no sign of Eli’s parents, the best sailors had all been out for hours upon end but still Mr and Mrs Shaw were never found and neither were their boats.
From then on Eli knew he was on his own, of course the other folks around the port would always look out for him, but when it came down to it they had to take care of themselves before anyone else. Eli had to immediately grow up, previously he was perhaps a little to immature and too much of a child who just wanted to play rather than one that wanted to learn but, he certainly needed to learn a lot now. So, being the determined soul, that deep down he always was he began to learn how to become self sufficient. Slowly but surely Eli learned for himself how to hunt, he found himself to have a keen eye so he crudely made himself a bow out of spare timber before being show by a local fletcher how to make a basic bow.
Over the years, to follow Eli tried to keep himself to himself as he tried to build a life he could be happy with. His archery skills began to increase and he actually created a small business by using his developing fletcher skills to provide for anyone who could use a bow or some arrows. Now Eli has settled back into the community in which his parents used to roam and is looking to protect his home port of any evil that is rumoured to be spreading throughout the ever growing dangerous land.
