Personality

Personality: A loner whose only concerns lie with Ballad, he himself cares not for his own life for he would lay it down for her within seconds. Can be very overbearing when he believes Ballad is in danger or could quite possibly be in danger.

Likes: The Moon, Night life in general, Playing his lute.
Dislikes: Putting Ballad in danger, seeing others suffer, fighting with no cause.

Equipment

Elven Yew Bow: Crafted by himself when he began the knight's hood trials so that he could help the provide for Ballad's family. The bow was given firey properties when he introduced Ash wood into it's lotus vine pull string.

Dragon Bone Lute: Another item he found battle scarred within his parents ruined home, by playing it sometimes he is able to summon creatures with haunting melodies. It's other purposes are to entertain Ballad and himself with vastly skilled songs.

Sky Rune Talisman: Found on him when Ballad's father and his hunting party found the war scarred child hiding up in a tree.

Sapphire Necklace: Gifted to him by Ballad's grandmother who saw in him a bright future, and loved him as if he was her own.

Magi Gauntlets: A pair of gauntlets crafted for him by a member of Ballad's father's hunting party, because he believed in Runic and could see the power that the young man hid even at the earlier stages of his life. The gauntlets themselves allow Runic to harness his abilities as well as stem the flow of power so he is not taken over.

Father's Sword: Though Runic can't remember his family he remembered his father's sword and found it in a torched hut several days after the destruction of his home village. The sword is abnormal from normal elven blades unlike the slanted scimitar's of the elven race this sword is broad and double edged. Laced with treasures along its hilt and in its cross guard, the blade glows in the moon light suggesting that it has magical properties. He has named the sword Nova for the glint it give off in the moon's light.

History

Runic's true past is hidden by the war that came down upon his village when he was just a boy. His story truly begins when he was found by his beloved's father. The day was sunny and the wind was blowing hard yet slightly calm for the time of year. The hunting party approached a tree gifted by nature with rune's of the sky, but the tree itself was not the peculiar sight as it was really the wild elf boy who sat up in the highest branch growling at the hunting party. The child was obviously not from around the forest for his hair was black and tipped at the edges with a silvery blue tint, the boy's eyes were violet and betrayed his emotions showing the fear that the boy carried from being alone and left by his long since dead family.

The hunting party knew that they couldn't leave the child up in the tree so after many hours of coaxing the wild child they were finally able to snare him and bring him down. The hunting party returned to their kingdom without any game but with a wild child in tow. Between them all the head of the hunting party chose to take the boy in clothe him and teach him how to be proper. Soon it became clear that the child's wild tendecies could not be so easily forgotten so the noble man sent the child to work in the stable where he truly grew up. They named the boy Runic for the sky rune tree he was found in. Because the boy never spoke other then in clicks, and growls the noble man figured that maybe the boy's true people were more intuned with nature and viewed them as savages.

At the age of twenty Runic was a proper as he could possibly be and when Ballad was born he spoke his first words, "My lord it is truly a grand sight to see something so beautiful enter this world". Those words shocked the noble man and his family, they began making Runic stay away from the home because they feared his influence on Ballad would make her care for him. Though it was tough for through the years he would make it tough on them as he made himself more known around the household watching Ballad as she grew up. In the elven way age was not of matter as to where nobility played its rule to them he was no more then a common street urchin. It wasn't until Ballad's mother passed that he truly had a influence on her life when she was in so much pain from the loss he would comfort her by playing his lute. His love for her only grew as time went on and when the chance to be her knight came he risked life and limb to go through the rigorous training only for when the fifteen years passed and he returned her father would not allow it. Their love caused them both to be banished from the village now they travel together where ever the moon shines the path.
