Weight: 202 pounds or 92 kilograms.
Height: 6’2 or 188 centimetres.
Eye color: Steel grey.

Distinguishing marks: A few nicks marring his face from shaving slip-ups. A straight razor isn’t at the top of the importance hierarchy when it comes to elvish education after all.
Hair color: A deep auburn.
Type of hair: Thick and wavy.
Hairstyle: Medium length hair, done back in dual braids falling down to frame his face before being tied together behind him.
Voice: Abraham has a rather gruff voice, worn rough by constant dehydration, a bout of oft smoking when he was younger and as a result, is much more coarse than a normal elf’s voice. Accent-wise, he actually has a general real-world Australian accent.
Overall attractiveness: In his own race’s terms, he is quite the black sheep, what with his uncouth attempts at growing facial hair and is generally just not as attractive as most others. For humans and other races however, he may come off a tad more roguishly than he would expect himself to but is fairly attractive by any other standards.
Personality
Mood character is most often in: Snarky and sarcastic, with a touch of humour.

Languages: Fluent in Common and Elvish.
General Attitude: Somewhat reserved and calculating.
Religious Inclination: Abraham doesn’t believe in a god per se, but leans more towards good deeds equals good luck. Karma and that sorta thing.
General Intelligence: Abraham is much more intelligent than he believes himself to be, generally capable of solving problems, both mathematical and situational, quickly within his head and coming up with unorthodox solutions.
General Sociability: Abraham could be classed as fairly social, but only really when it suits him or he is forced to be so in the situation. He is prone to upsetting people wherever he travels however.
Character’s greatest fear: Dying or losing his freedom.
What single event would most throw this character’s life into complete turmoil?: Dying. For obvious reasons.
Priorities: Wealth and finding a way to become human. Yes. Human. Caring for his close friends also weighs in pretty high. The highest priority of his would have to be making sure he doesn’t die.
If granted one wish, it would be: Never-ending wealth.
Why?: With a never-ending supply of Radiants, Abraham could afford anything and everything he wanted and be able to pursue anything he pleased. Pretty sensible, really.
Character’s soft spot: Children and damsels in distress. What? He can’t help it.
Is this soft spot obvious to others?: It all depends on how long Abraham spends with others. They’d likely notice it after a short while. Well, okay. It wouldn’t take too long to notice at all.
Greatest strength: His intelligence and a tad of a silver tongue.
Greatest vulnerability or weakness: His pudge and his natural cowardice.
Biggest regret: Not getting to say goodbye to his family properly before he walked out on them forever.
Biggest accomplishment: Getting his friend Flynnigan to actually run.
Character’s darkest secret: His middle name is Edelweiss.
Does anyone else know?: His family and Flynnigan.
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral.
Goals
Drives and motivations: Abraham wants to become a human, somehow. Though it’s unrealistic, it’s what he believes and what he wants.
Immediate goals:
-Get filthy rich.
-Find a more steady income with his occupation as a cartographer.
-Find a magician who would be willing to teach him.
-Learn more. About everything.
Long term goals:
-Get filthy rich.
-MAGIC MAN.
-Become well-known.
-Possibly find someone/somewhere nice to settle down with.
-Become a human. sup
How the character plans to accomplish these goals: With wealth on his side and possibly power, he would be able to put as much time as he needed into discovering and figuring out how to go about his main goal. Perhaps magic could possibly be helpful in some way...
How other characters will be affected: Depends on whether they’re his friends or estranged from him.
Possessions
Wardrobe:
-A grey cotton button-up shirt. Somewhat raggedy.
-Long khaki pants. So what if their colours don't match with the outfit, they were a bargain.
-A pair of grey poorly cobbled shoes made from leather. He could really do with a new pair.
-His very own, cheaply made, dark maroon double-tailed jacket. Fancy, eh.
-A beige-white cravat, because how else would he make himself look sophisticated?
Jewelry:
-A nice little rose brooch, pinned to the left of his chest.
Pets/Animals: Zilch, unless you class his halfling companion?
Owned Homes: N/A, he’s a homeless lad.
Carried Inventory:
-Clothing as listed above.
-2 books clipped to his belt by buckle. One on how to live cheaply and one on crossbow maintenance.
-1 journal, for all his personal writing-things-down needs.
-1 poorly made map that he purchased when he first began travelling.
-12 basic crossbow bolts. The heads aren’t the pointiest and they’re a tad rusty but hey, he’s not the one getting shot with them. Other people are. The bad guys.
His pack filled with assorted belongings including:
-food; usually crackers, and water.
-Around 40 metres of rope coiled up.
-An extra pair of basic cheap cotton clothes.
-And a tinderbox. Naturally.
General Inventory: Pretty much everything listed above. He’s homeless and doesn’t own anything that he doesn’t carry on him.
General Wealth: Broke as ****. Less than 200 Radiants on him at any given time.
Health
Illnesses: None, so far.
Allergies: None. Known, at least.
Injuries: Nothing of note, surprisingly.
Posture: A little slouchy. Tsk, his mother always complained about that.
Sleeping Habits: Abraham is a heavy sleeper and attempts to slip in sleep whenever he can, especially if he needs to pass the time. He can also fall asleep while sitting up. If that isn’t a nifty trick, I don’t know what is.
Energy Levels: Abrahahm has a surprising amount of energy in him, if he hasn’t been walking all day. Especially after eating.
Eating Habits: The red-headed elf tends to, when given the chance, eat far more than necessary. It’s probably why he has as much chub as he does.
Exercise Habits: Considering his lifestyle is walking around, he could still do worse.
Memory: Abraham’s memory could be worse, but it could be better as well. He has a rather average memory.
Unhealthy Habits: Snarking people until they snap at him. That’s an unhealthy habit, right?
Drinking Habits: None whatsoever, he can’t handle his alcohol at all.
Combat
Peaceful or violent: Peaceful at most times.
Weaponry:
Combat Training: Abraham has minimal professional training with the crossbow but he has practice on his side and with the amount of times he has called upon it to defend his life, he couldn’t imagine living without it. He's gonna have to start imagining living without it now that it's burnt to cinders.

Traits
Optimist or pessimist?: Abraham tends to switch between being an optimist and a pessimist depending on his mood and the situation at hand. If there’s a giant monster threatening to cave in his head, he’s probably going to be on the pessimistic side of life.
Introvert or extrovert?: Abraham is naturally introverted, but he spends a majority of his time acting extroverted and chatting with people.
Daredevil or cautious?: Whilst extremely curious of most things, the elf tends to lean more to the cautious side. Charging into a cave head-first is a pretty good way of getting yourself killed and as everyone knows, dying is bad and unhealthy.
Logical or emotional?: Logic dictated by emotion? Emotion dictated by logic? Abraham tends to be an open book when it comes to how he is feeling at the time, openly commenting so if he does not like something or if he has one thought or another.
Disorderly and messy or methodical and neat?: Abraham is quite messy when it comes to eating, drinking, working. Everything, pretty much.
Prefers working or relaxing?: He prefers relaxation of course, what sort of insane monster do you take him for? However, work is necessary to get anywhere in life and he does recognise that fact.
Confident or unsure of himself/herself?: While Abraham may act extremely confident, he is- Well, he really is. The only thing he is really unsure of himself about is his race and he’s aiming towards fixing that right up.
Animal lover?: Animals are alright. They make good food and good pets, depending on what animal it is.
Relationships
Romantic Interests:
-None. So far.
Trusted Friends:
-Flynnigan Meinderly, his best friend in the world. But don’t let him know that.
Friendly With:
-Teeke. What an interesting woman, getting him to talk to trees and wearing fake antlers.
Loose Acquaintances:
-Jeroxia Azerwind. Likely the first Jester Abraham had ever met. Too many land pirates for his tastes.
-Diamond Azerwind. Lots of manners and curtseys. She didn’t shake his hand though.
Disfavored Individuals:
None as of yet.
Hated:
None yet.
Wary Of:
None yet. Unless you count the land pirates. Those are real dangerous.
