༄ TRAITS ༄

Appearance: Tall, lithe form for agility and speed. Snow-white hair against emerald eyes, feather-soft strands framing a tanned face of sharp features.Personality: Used to not speaking unless spoken to, this Rava’s quiet demeanor does not mask his open, inquisitive nature. Ever curious about the world he grew up without, Leif is friendly, thoughtful, and easy-going, striving to live without conflict. When he must fight, he is efficient, but to face this dark side of his heart he must close off who he is, becoming cold, stoic, and pragmatic—a stark contrast to his otherwise warm countenance.

༄ BACKGROUND ༄

Ale (pronounced AH-leh) grew up an orphan under the canopy of Golmore Jungle, raised with love by his small, traditionalist village of Camoa. Always nimble on his feet, he dreamed of dancing as a means to bring joy to those around him. However, those aspirations were dashed when he came of age. Established to be male, Ale was whisked off to train for a lifetime of service as a Wood Warder—a solitary defender of the forest from all outsiders—a fate all male Viera must undertake. Once having aspirations of bringing light to those around him, Ale was forced to survive bringing death to any outsider he encountered with only the distant presence of the other males as solace. Everything Ale knew faded to this singular purpose in life, a role he never wanted, but this was the way of the Green Word, the only way of life he knew……Until a chance encounter changed Ale forever. In choosing not to take the life of an older male Miqo’te adventurer, this Wood Warder re-learned companionship and gained a glimpse of the world beyond Golmore’s dark canopy, a world where he could live and die of his choosing. Defying the Green Word, however, held consequences, and in failing his duty to shield Camoa from all outsiders, The Empire breeched an attack against Ale's village, his companion was killed, and Camoa was razed to the ground. Suffocating under the burden of guilt, Ale engaged in self exile from Golmore and the Green Word forever, a fate devastating to anyone who does not know any other life.Determined to atone for his transgressions, Ale—now Leif—set out to learn the ways of the world and to return to his people with solutions of justice or revenge, even if the windows of re-acceptance into Viera society remain forever closed to him. However, the world is vast and ever-changing, full of her own conflicts, and such prospects may have slipped through Leif's fingers with the events of the Final Days...
