Name: Roux Nightroad
Pronounciation: Roo Nightroad
Gender: Male
Race: Elvaan
Class: Red Mage Age: 28
Ht: 6'6
Wt: 195lbs
Description:
Like the majority of the Elvaan race Roux is tall and lithely built, he also has the signature pointed ears, but that's where the resemblance ends. His eyes are a deep amber gold, his skin is the color of honey mixed with cream and his hair is a silvery white blue color. In fact if one were to take a few strands of his hair its almost clear, indicating that it's natural and not magicked, dyed or any type of fake. He wears it short except for a few small braids at his temples. There are small white feathers and clear beads in his hair that give a bit of a flair.
His clothing is all various shades of faded grey, from his boots, tunic, doe skin leather pants to the cloak around his shoulders. Much use and a singular lack of desire for newer things makes it just shy of shabby. Except for a silver ring on his left index finger and a necklace with a large tiger's eye pendant, Roux doesn't wear any other ornamentation. He has a bow and quiver, a staff, a couple of daggers and his pack, as other possessions. Other than that he doesn't seem to have anything anyone would want to steal. He values his violin and flute out of all his possessions, all else isn't important to him.
As a traveling companion he has a rather large black raven called Zor'rek, but the bird prefers to remain outside when Roux goes in to a building. It's easily larger than a cat and around its legs are some beads an feathers loosely tied with some leather string. Zor'rek likes to look as fancy as the elf he travels with. He hates strangers touching him and only allows Roux to pet, carry or otherwise come near him. He had once been a black mage but when a spell went bad he was morphed in to his current form. Now more bird than man, he attached himself to Roux.
Personality:
Roux is a strange man, one moment serious and then the next teasing and friendly. He can turn sarcastic and grumpy then do a complete shift to another strange mix. While some feel constantly off balance around him, Roux is almost always friendly and ready to laugh. He teases people saying 'I am a strange mix you'll notice, for a child of the wind is always as unpredictable as I. I hope you'll forgive my changing nature, but I can't help who and what I am.' He makes friends easily and likes to surprise people just to see their smiles and expression of surprise.
Roux likes people and their unpredictability, if it turns to violence he'll try to stop it, but if that fails he'll simply leave. He's always smiling, always willing to lend a hand and if he has a moment to play a light trick, he'll take what the wind offers. When the moment calls he can sit back quietly and enjoy the silence while it lasts, but if it sits too long he'll pull out his flute and play something.
Habits/Interests:
Roux loves music and the silly tricks played by entertainers. Because of this he often pulls out his flute and tries to snag an audience. He'll gladly amuse children with his 'magic tricks' by pulling flowers from his sleeves, or other such things. He'll even if asked, do juggling and simple tumbles just for applause. When alone he will often sit near a fire, if available, to read or just watch the flames. He prefers open areas and lots of sunlight, but easily adapts to any living space.
Roux isn't fond of cats or clingy dogs, but treats them with respect and suffers in silence. He favors any other animal though, but oddly likes fish. He also plays the violin and harp, but only his violin and flute are easy to travel with. He loves to dance and if there is a right song, he'll sing, but it's very rare to hear his voice raised in song.
Background:
Roux's mother was an outcast from her race and family after she was found to be pregnant from some stranger. She never spoke of the man, nor tried to defend herself so they threw her out to survive on her own. He grew up hearing faint stories about his father and his mother only said that he look very like him. His birth had been hard on his mother and as a result she had become easily ill, when he was thirteen she died from a severe flu that had struck the area. Of the few things he had managed to learn from his mother, it was music that he loved the most. She had taught him to play three instruments the harp, the violin and the flute.
It was because of those skills that he was able to survive. He got a small job in a traveling circus and was taught other skills, juggling, tumbling, magic tricks, things like that and through diligence and general love of performing, became the main act. The circus prospered but Roux wanted to see more of the world, not just traveling from city to city. He wanted to learn, to grow and to find whatever his heart yearned for. So at sixteen he simply left and went wandering using the skills he had learned to make a simple if not somewhat poor living.
It was on his wanderings that he stumbled upon Zor'rek the raven had been shot with an arrow right through his left wing. Whoever had shot him simply left him for dead and when he had found the poor bird, he'd almost died. Roux proved more persistent than death and through many days of hard work, brought the raven back to health. Zor proved to be a very useful ali because due to the trauma half of Zor'rek's old personality surfaced giving the bird-mage a trace of his former self.
If he was so inclined he'd talk too, but it was much harder to talk as a bird. They both knew that there was no way he'd ever become human again so Roux being his normal self, said he'd be willing to offer himself as Zor'rek's perch slash body guard. He'd grown rather lonely and was very glad when Zor accepted his offer, though Zor said he'd do his best to offer aid and shiny things as the situation arose. So the two make a flashy pair when together and Roux even created an act so that the bird-mage could get some attention. They wander about whenever the urge calls to do so, taking jobs and making people smile wherever they stop...
