(Looks slightly younger due to his lineage)<br/><strong>Sex:</strong>Male.<br/><strong>Sexuality:</strong>Omnisexual.<br/><strong>Description:</strong>Given his age he is quite short and stands at 5.7ft. His body is lithe yet toned in all the places that matter for one who is in the business of performance art. During the day his eyes appear to be dark green in colour but at night they have a mystical bright green glow to them. His skin is abnormally pale, even for an elf, and is constantly cold. His hair is grey with some greeny/blue streaks. He often wears it in a braid but will wear it down on the rare occasions that he is performing a dance or when he bathes. When it is down it flows to the middle of his back.<br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong>His mother is a full-blooded elf and he knows nothing about who his real father is and he gave up trying to get any information many moons ago. All his life he has travelled around, never stopping in one place for more than a week at a time. Thus, is the nature of his tribe. Unlike most half-bloods in this world, he never experienced discrimination as half-elf children mostly look exactly like elves and rarely like anything else. (And as long as your mouth stays shut no one is the wiser!) That and the tribe he is from are used to women having fatherless children as they are entertainers by trade and men will be men, regardless of race.<br/><br/>Once he was fifteen he decided he was tired of telling tales that were passed down to him and wanted to experience the world by himself. Sure it was nice weaving stories around a fire or in a tavern but it was another actually writing your own one. While he was denied at first (they thought it was a phase that all their children go through at one point or another.) it soon became clear that he was determined to become independent of them. The desire grew as he became older and eventually he gained the approval of the tribal elders to leave and start his own journey.<br/><br/>Since then he has simply wandered from town to town. Unlike his tribe, he takes his time. To Ishmael; life is just one big adventure waiting to be explored and told.<br/><br/><strong>Likes:</strong>Writing stories, listening to other people's adventures no matter how big or small they are, singing, sunbathing, spicy food...<br/><strong>Dislikes:</strong>Those who go out of their way to cause trouble or start fights. Cold weather.<br/><strong>Player desires:</strong>You have known me long enough to know my dos and don'ts so I trust you to judge what gets thrown at him.
