Kel Ehmry

[Kel Ehmry]

Kel Ehmry Born 17th of Winter, 488 AV Human, Male Physical Description Standing at 5'11" and weighing around 155 Lbs, Kel would not stick out in a crowd of humans. Kel has an athletic build but is more on the skinny side of things. His hair is short and brown, which he leaves unkempt for the most part. His skin is a light olive color and he has light amber eyes. He has dark stubble upon his face which he doesn't bother shaving all the way. If he tried he could pull off being a dashing young man with little effort, but he either cares too little or prefers a more rugged look. He dresses simply enough, wearing a cotton shirt and leather pants. It isn't the most exciting of outfits, but its practical enough for his line of work. Character Concept Kel is adventurous and curious, but is also driven by the pursuit of both knowledge and wealth, with the latter being the larger of the two. He has a great interest in history and archaeology and strives to apply this knowledge to find any valuable objects of past generations. Hopefully for Kel, he can profit off of finding these trinkets and artifacts, as fortune hunting is the name of the game with him. He's a drifter, going around the land following mere rumors and legends, hoping for a big break. As fortune hunting doesn't allow for much of a steady income, he resorts to cartography. It fits his lifestyle easily enough. Personality wise, Kel is generally your regular good and level headed citizen...when he isn't following some crazy lead. When he is in pursuit of something, he tends to gets tunnel vision and won't back down from it. He may even drag others into danger just to get what he is after. This isn't to say he does not care of others, as he is capable of helping others, but he places himself first, and most likely will only help when there is nothing to lose or something to gain on his part. He does not trust easily, as betrayal fueled by greed is a common occurrence when fortune hunting. And don't even mention the idea of having a relationship around Kel, as he fears being tied down in a relationship. If he requires female companionship, he will go to a whorehouse and be on his way. In his eyes there is no need for a silly thing like love to distract him from his pursuits. Character History Kel was born and raised in the port city of Zeltiva. His father was a carpenter who worked at the docks, while his mother simply stayed at home and took care of Kel and managed the household. They were not the wealthiest of people by any means but they at least had a home to live in and enough to put food on the table. Kel had a normal and active childhood. He had a circle of friends he would play with often, and every group of friends has the adventurous one, and that was Kel. If there was a rock that needed climbing or a river that needed crossing, Kel would be the one to volunteer. He was always he one to suggest venturing off beyond the town. Once he even went as far as sneaking onto a fishing boat. His father wasn't quite so pleased with that stunt. Through his teens he held various odd jobs around town, spending most of his time as a courier in Zeltiva. He learned his ways around the city and became quite fast at it, knowing various shortcuts and the like due to drawing rough maps on his hands or in the dirt. When he turned 18 he left his work as a courier and entered the University of Zeltiva as a student. Here he studied various subjects, but he took a deep liking to history. From here he resolved that he would be the one to find artifacts and knowledge lost due to the Valterrian. Since fortune hunting did not provide much of a steady income, he resolved that cartography would be simple enough, as he did it throughout most of his teens out of habit. He spent two seasons working as a cartographer in Zeltiva after graduation but soon decided that he needed to leave Zeltiva behind and begin his search for wealth and knowledge. He gathered his things and made his way towards Sunberth.
