HISTORY
Note: when referring to Father, I mean Leithan save then specifically noted.
Audun was born in the city of Issathyl. His mother, Vende, was a young elf raised in a difficult social situation in her homeland. Because of, she grew up independent, but insecure and fell in with in interesting crowd. During this time, she met a human traveling minstrel named Johann (Sevelin). The melded together very well and before she had come to age, she found she was pregnant. In Society’s vision disgraced and with a faltering sense of honour, Vende fled her homeland. At first she desired to go with Johann and find themselves properly married, but he, being somewhat of a rogue, refused and told her to go back home. But not believing she could ever be accepted back, she continued on a separate way. Growing weak and fatigue due to pregnancy and lack of a way to earn a living, she ran on. A beautiful chance sent her into the company of a party of Schattenalfen, one of them whom said she could take pity on the elf. Thus Vende made the Schattenalfen her people.
Not so long after Vende found adoption, was she married to Leithan Guths, the younger son of a minor noble family. It was more of a marriage of simple practicality than romantic love, but it suited them both. Leithan, as a sorcerer deeply involved in his studies of necromancy, needed a wife who was not dependent on him but skilled in her duties and Vende needed someone to provide a stable home her coming son. It was this situation that Audun was born. Audun grew up close to his mother, but revering his father. He desired to follow his father’s footsteps in death magic. Both parents discouraged it, but Audun refused to take to heart any other duty. Thus he was soon studying the art. His father did not believe he had the strength to master the trade, but Audun’s desire was string, so his father allowed him to attempt it. When finally at age, it was apparent Audun could not succeed, which devastated his spirit. He continued in the path of necromancy, but not as strongly and wit no hope of becoming like his father. Audun fell briefly in love with a Schattenalf girl, Sabaith, and ask her to marriage, but she refused in love with another man. At this, Audun fled away from Issathyl to the upper world.
Thus he travels now, sort of running form himself, be at least finding something to do with his life.
PERSONALITY
He is disgusted with the heat that surround the busy city and gets lost in the rushed life of so many people that don’t seem to care at all the for the soul next to them. It is thus why he holds the upper world in such contempt. Yet it is also he uses than pretension as a mask. Indeed, he doesn’t really want to alienate himself from everyone, but ends up doing that for lack of being…. socially competent.
DESCRIPTION
Audun has never been in the sun, save for his rather recent adventure into the upper world. He was born in darkness and lived in it all his life. He never had the eyesight of his Schattenalf kin, but biology adapts thus making his eyes a bit sensitive to the bright light of the sun. His skin, also was never exposed to the sun, thus never tanning. He tends to wear black out of habit and almost always has his hood and cloak on as well. H is eyes are dark blue. His height is approximately 5’1” and he weighs about 100 pounds, giving him a slight, but not petite, build. His gait is short, but not shuffling and he walks wit his head down.
TECHNICAL NOTES
Audun identifies with several things although he is not. He considers himself a necromancer although technically he’s not. He also considers himself a Schattenalf although he has no actually blood of theirs. He knows all this too well within his heart and it vexes him greatly.
