Gilva Snowsong


Appearance

Race: Vantha
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Birthday: Day 29, Spring, 495 AV.
Birthplace: Avanthal

Appearance: Gilva is 6'0 and weighs 140 pounds. This disposition presents him as a tall and slender individual. He has curly black hair that runs along the right side of his face, hanging as far down as the side of his eyes. Because his hair is so long, he has cut his bangs to allow his forehead to be visible. He dons a grey cloak, grey t-shirt, black pants, and black boots. The cloak is often worn open at the bottom in order to allow more freedom of movement; but it completely covers his torso. His eyes are mostly grey, but have the ability to shift to a luminescent green when he is in mourning, and crimson red when he is angry.

Character Concept

Gilva is a very informal and sociable person, mostly due to growing up in a close community. He enjoys receiving as much attention as possible, which is why he has practiced artistic skills that are visually pleasant to others. He believes that there is a hidden meaning within everything, but the obvious message is most likely going to be of more interest than the hidden one unless it is in written form.

Character History

Gilva Snowsong was born in the Snowsong hold of Avalthan to a family that consisted of a mother, father, and two sisters. Of his siblings, Gilva was the youngest. When his eldest sister married into the Skyglow hold when he was a child, Gilva took a liking to her husband’s skills in the visual arts. So much so, that he often asked for him to teach him how to dance. In honour of the marriage agreement, Gilva was taught both how to dance as well as some acrobatics.

Even though his dancing was a beautiful art, Gilva’s father warned him that he should be careful, otherwise his writing skills would falter. As a result, he would have to split his duties between learning how to dance and how to write evenly. Being that the hold was home to many families, the children would come together and tell each other stories. It was during one such fateful event, did Gilva discover that by combining the details he would use to write as well as some visual appeals that his storytelling would be that much greater.

Sensing his son’s potential, Gilva’s father decided that for the greater good of the family, it would be best to move to the city of Zeltiva so that Gilva could attend the university to further hone his skills. Sadly, this trip occurred before Gilva’s other sister was able to marry into a new hold and she was forced to accompany the family.

The journey was long and treacherous, taking approximately 309 days due to the detours in Spires, Karjin, Syliras, and finally Zeltiva. Since Gilva’s father was competent in surviving in the wilderness, the journey was expected to have been shorter, but complications quickly arose when Gilva’s mother died on the way from Spires to Karjin due to illness. Then, just before leaving Syliras, Gilva’s father disappeared. Gilva and his sister found a mysterious backpack containing several practical items, 100 gold mizas, as well as their father’s two-headed spear in their temporary room in the Evantide Tower.

Seemingly abandoned by their father, the two children eventually reached the city of Zeltiva. But without their father’s seasoned skills, they had great difficulty and Gilva’s sister ultimately passed away, leaving him as the only one to survive the journey.
