<div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Sinathel, Elf Druid</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Class:</strong> Druid<br/><strong>Race:</strong> Elf<br/><strong>Name:</strong> Sinathel<br/><strong>Look:</strong> Wise Eyes, Braided Hair, Practical Leathers<br/><br/><strong>Detailed Look:</strong><br/>Fair hair to match his fair skin, braided back behind his ears. Eyes of shimmering river blue. Tall and lithe, sharing the graces of his Elven brethren - at least while he's in his Elven born skin. He clothes himself in simple brown leathers and walks with an oaken staff, always peering away as if he sees or hears something that is just out of sight of those around him.<br/><br/><strong>Druid Tell:</strong><br/>From somewhere under his hair a deep blue streak cascades down the back of his neck, like the roots of a great tree his marking parts and curls down around his otherwise pale skin. The ink, if that's what it truly is, shimmers under the light as if it were running water. The patterns break and roll around his body, ending in curled tips around his chest, arms, and legs. This tribute to the land where he bonded with the spirits of nature is visible on him at all times, even when shifted in to other forms.<br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong><br/>Civilization has rarely interested Sinathel, partly because he finds it difficult to understand the walking and talking life, and party because they don't understand him. Or is it her? Sinathel's gender, as well as many other aspects, are often difficult to discern. The elf has spent more time in his life in the shape of non-humanoids than even in his natural skin, as such not even he remembers what he looks like - but that doesn't bother him, his shape is meaningless compared to what is held within it. For Sinathel the goal of his life to gain balance with nature and to better understand the world around him. He has spent seasons running with wolves, struggling upstream with bass, and even just swaying in the breeze as a simple birch.<br/><br/>When he does visit the towns he often barters for what few essentials he may need, offering potent herbs he has gathered in exchange for poultices or books. He's gained a few good relationships with alchemists from this, and they often delight at the sight of his return. If it were not for them, it is no doubt that he would forget how to even speak the common languages. Beyond those few friends, Sinathel avoids most other contact, particular in Human settlements. He finds most Humans are quick to anger and they often mock him for his appearance, though a few have curiously approached with him with flattery. Once he overheard a group of men call him the Sin of the Forests, claiming loudly that he must be out there mating with the bears. Since then he has begun to attempt to apply his shapeshiftings skills to those of the people he meet, in an attempt to better understand them, but he has far less practice on humanoids than he does on the spirits of the wild.<br/><br/>Recently the spirits have been speaking of a darkness of the land, disturbing Sinathel. It took some time for him to convince himself to act on this, but he now seeks to bring balance back to nature. Where to begin though, he is not sure.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong> Most of the time Sinathel may seem reserved, preferring to observe rather than interact with others. His time spent communing with the spirits of the world has given him a certain wisdom, but this wisdom is seldom useful outside of the wilderness. Skeptical of most at first, but after getting to know a person he may be a bit too quick to trust them. The Elf's true personality is best seen when he's not in his own skin, and instead embracing nature - have you ever seen a wolf smile, or a bear laugh, or a tree wave?<br/><br/><strong>Base Damage:</strong> d6<br/><br/><strong>Stats:</strong><br/>STR 8 (-1)<br/>DEX 15 (+1)<br/>CON 13 (+1)<br/>WIS 16 (+2)<br/>INT 12 (~0)<br/>CHA 9 (~0)<br/>HP 6+CON: 19<br/><br/><strong>Starting Moves:</strong><br/>(Elf Racial) Attunement - The Great Forest<br/>Born of the Soil - The River Delta<br/>By Nature Sustained<br/>Spirit Tongue<br/>Shapeshifter<br/>Studied Essence<br/><br/><strong>Attunement - The Great Forest:</strong><br/>Tall and ancient trees shading a vast wealth of life, The Great Forest was Sinathel's brithland. He was quick to explore away from it though, following the path of a grand river that weaved its way past his home. When communing with the Land, though, he never feels far.<br/><br/><strong>Attunement - The River Delta:</strong><br/>He followed the river from his home until it exploded free of the forest, winding its way past hills and fields until finally parting in to a great delta. The abundance of life here drew him to stay, learning about every creature that he could. From the small prawn living in the shallows, to the great beasts that came to the delta to drink, he became them all. The Anduin Delta, south of a small Human farming village and north west of the great sea, was Sinathel's home for years to come.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Alignment:</strong> Neutral<br/><br/><strong>Gear:</strong><br/>Hide armor (1 armor, 1 weight)<br/>Staff (close, two-handed, 1 weight)<br/>Poultices and herbs (2 uses, 1 weight)<br/><strong>Load:</strong> 6+STR (Current Load: 3/5 weight)<br/><br/><strong>Planned Advanced Moves:</strong> (for my benefit)<br/>2.

Perhaps he doesn't believe in the spirits of the Land? I need to find a better way to explain it to him.<br/><br/><em>I have shown Hawthorne a secret rite of the Land.</em><br/>A curious human, she seemed honestly interested in learning about the Druidic ways. I showed her a rite that I sometimes used to help me commune with the Land. In exchange, I hope that will let me spend time in contemplation of her essence as part of my exploration of shifting in to other humanoids.<br/><br/><em>Fenris (Fruster's wolf) has tasted my blood and I theirs. We are bound by it.</em><br/>It has made my relationship with Fruster a bit... complicated.
