Ears are almost but not quite pointed.<br/><br/>Brief History: Owl was born to a prostitute who sold him into slavery when he was only 10 years old. His father was a curious elf who had no interest in raising a half human child. His mother was creeped out by his uncanny ability to see things and hear things that others could not. She was the one who gave him the nickname Owl, and it stuck. She found a rogue who wanted an apprentice and thought the youngster would make an excellent thief. He gave her fifty gold crowns for the boy, with the promise he would set the Owl free when he turned 20.<br/><br/><br/>His new owner trained him in the art of thievery and lock picking. Sending the young boy out into the street to steal and con people into giving him gold or food. By the age of 18, he had become so good the aged Master gave him his freedom. The Master took half of whatever Owl managed to steal, so he worked very hard in his trade. The elderly Master thief died shortly after giving Owl his freedom. Owl mourned his loss as the only father figure he had ever known.<br/><br/>Now he works as a mercenary, taking jobs few will accept. He is daring, cunning and very devious. He works for himself.  He does not know what it is to love or be loved. His mother tolerated him, to her he was a nuisance that she got rid of as soon as she legally could.<br/><br/>He does not even know if he can tolerate a woman. To him they are all like his mother. Using the men and never giving anything but their body in return. Over time he has become very pragmatic about it. He figures he may have to look for a woman some day, but he is not in any hurry. He can take care of himself.<br/><br/><br/>Physical Edge: Wiry and strong, extremely dexterous and fast on his feet. Has an uncanny ability to see well in the dark and move silently.<br/><br/>Physical Weak Point: Has a bad habit of not eating properly, and liking strong drink far too much. When drunk he loses a lot of his edge.<br/><br/>Social/Mental Edge: He is friendly to those he sees are potential 'victims' of his light fingers, wary of those he sees as rivals. Very good at detecting hidden meanings and political intrigue.<br/><br/>Social/Mental Weak Point: He is wary of all women, not that he dislikes them so much as he does not trust them. He can appreciate the feminine form, but unwilling to initiate any conversation or relationship.<br/><br/>Magical Theme (If Any): As a half elf, he has some talent for magic, but has never been formally trained. There is a chance he is using the talent he has to invoke a bit of illusion. He can move silently and almost invisibly at times. But it is a very unconscious and instinctive thing and totally untrained.<br/><br/>Special Weaknesses (If Any): Has an unusually weak stomach. Is allergic to insect venom of almost any type. This makes him almost terrified of bugs!<br/><br/>Preferred Fighting Style: Uses daggers and short sword almost exclusively. Proficient with a bow of any type. Will do a lot of dodging and rolling to try and stay behind his opponent. Or if pressed too hard he will seemingly disappear into the shadows.
