• Personality

  A spiritual man, loyal to his goddess and those who have earned his trust.
  Tall, but not uniquely so, he still presents an air of quiet skill, patient in his tasks, and reserved in his motives. Moral and intelligent, his instinct has rarely led him wrong in life.
  But not to be forgotten is his all-too-human empathy. He cares, and many, including himself on occasion, see this as weakness. To compensate for this, he often allows his blind loyalty and determination to take the lead, though expressive eyes often give view to a gentle soul.

• Description

  Though standing above average height, his lean, lithe build presents far from a hulking figure. Long, slender fingers littered in scars, would have been brilliant for some form of instrument, if he had not instead taken hold of the bow. A thin nose centres an angular face, with high-set cheekbones and thin, arched eyebrows. Below which sit pale blue eyes, common in the northern folk of his birth, but less so is the dark hair that falls above them. Raven-black, cut short for practicality, but that does not stop the wayward strands from falling upon his features.
  
  Typically dressed in a thin, soft grey tunic, wrapped in soft brown-leather armour. Cut and sewn into strips that wrap around his person, small pads atop his shoulders accentuating his physique. In a darker leather, stronger and accented in bronze, a quiver sits square on his back, its strap wrapping around his chest. Matching gauntlets sit along his forearms, dark fabric reaching from underneath to wrap around his hands.
  
  No matter what he is wearing, nor where he is, Taliesen can always be seen wearing a silver pendant around his neck. Engraved with an elegant triskele. Though typically hidden beneath his shirt, he values it above all else.

• History

  He grew up in the forests of Eridan, enjoying beautiful landscapes, but harsh winters. A spiritual kingdom, who praise a goddess of three spirits. From a young age, he learnt to track and hunt. Later, transferring these skills into more combat-based training in the kingdoms capital.
  
  When the gates to the solitary neighbouring kingdom opened, he wasted no time in travelling there. With little more than a falcon, bow and blade to his name. His skill quickly granted him a place in a tournament, one the queen herself would attend. He certainly hoped she would.
