Luradin Theme Song Appearance Race: Charoda Gender: Male Age: 19 Height: 5' 9" Weight: 138lbs Birthday: 42, Fall, 494 AV Birthplace: Charbosi Appearance: Luradin is quite an ordinary-looking Charoda, having slightly richer coloured skin than some from lingering closer to the surface, this itself can betray his especially curious nature. Luradin does however, have a few scars, which are the only bits of his skin that are still light in colour, he has one running down the top of his head and two others on his back, both only a few inches long, the first above his right kidney at a 90 degree angle from his hip and one only just to the right of his spine. Character Concept Luradin is an exceptionally curious member of his race, which is quite dangerous considering Charoda are already very curious. The Charoda are known for being peaceful and Luradin is not an exception to not seeking out fights, however he doesn't hide from them and does infact practice some skills based on combat. Luradin's curiosity may get him into trouble, trespassing and often breakage of things he doesn't understand are things that lead him to being removed from rooms containing delicate objects. He does not hoard like most of his kind, but does keep souvenirs from his travels - which can also lead him to trouble. Luradin does not like bullies, hearing the stories of how his race was killed by surface dwellers after the Valterrian often made Luradin fall into foul moods, this always worried his peers and family - who could see Luradins troublesome future only years into his life. Character History Luradin was raised in Charbosi like most, if not all of his race and even when extremely young, had a knack for finding out things he wasn't really meant to. At the age when Luradin had recently learnt to swim, he found an old dagger on the sea-floor, whenever he had a chance from then on, Luradin would practice with the blade, thrusting it at imaginary enemies and twirling it around - though the practice was of little use it fueled Luradin's imagination and dreams and may have given him a certain boldness. When Luradin became older, he often swam much closer to the surface - peering out at the green world which always looked so strange to him, in fact on occasion - Luradin used to watch an occasional large snake slide past the water, he often wondered at how the snakes seemed so intelligent on the surface. On one rare occasion, Luradin was witness to an entire fight between one of these snakes and a strangely skinned individual. The fight was relatively short and the humanoid was amazingly agile, darting through the air to strike at the snake with both blades and limbs, The snake was acting strategically and with just one strike, managed to ground the fighter that had been dancing rings around it, the snake crushed the man to death with it's body quite soon-after. This was the first time Luradin's curiosity would be troublesome. Still watching the aftermath, the snake appeared to stretch it's skin, it looked like rubber as joints formed and limbs broke free of the massive snakes body, parting from it like strange webbed appendages - the snake's body lifted up and began to constrict on itself, the skin tightening and becoming more tanned and eventually there stood a human in-place of the snake. Luradin's Curiosity peaked over his sense and he poked his head up above the waves of the ocean, in what little common he'd picked up by lingering near the surface, Luradin asked "Are you a Kelvic?" - he had heard of creatures that could turn into humans and what he saw was evidence enough in his mind. After a series of hissing sounds directed towards Luradin, he deemed his common tongue not good enough and began to swim backwards from shore, just as he was about to look away from the strange creature at shore, it reached to the ground and picked up one of the swords that the human had had, Luradin sensed danger and quickly began to dive deeper into the water, narrowly avoiding the blade of the sword - which slashed the water above his head (he thought), as he began to swim home he felt a sharp and hot pain in his mind and began to feel drowsy on his route home, he passed out before he made it home and woke up later being treated, his parents scolded him harshly and he was kept under close watch for many weeks if not months afterwards. One year and 3 months after this venture to the surface, Luradin was finally under a lesser amount of suspicion since he was nearing adulthood in the community and the instant this happened and his parents' backs were turned - he returned to the surface-world, clutching a dagger, alike to the first he'd found, in one hand. The body that was lying there was no-longer, but Luradin had expected that, he pushed his free hand to the shore-line and lifted himself out of the water to his feet. Luradin adjusted to the surface slower than he would've liked, in an attempt to run off and discover what the surface was like - he thrust his body forwards as he usually would and found there was practically no resistance there, falling flat on his face was the outcome. Luradin spent the next week or two practicing his movements on the surface and becoming used to them, he found it invigorating that he could move with such ease and practiced whenever he could, becoming not as good as he was underwater at moving but becoming much more skilled than the average humanoid. On one particular venture to the surface, Luradin explored further from the coast, climbing a large hill that he found. Looking down from this view-point he could see a jungle around him, unable to see the floor from the canopy of trees, Luradin was intrigued by this view and sat there for quite some time, deciding he would leave his secluded world on that day - he retrieved information from any traveler that he could and even bought maps of different regions - which he had to keep in a small hole he dug in the coast.
