Appearance
Ruven is tall, yet still light enough to hush over branches and leaves without a sound. He looks quite old for his age, which must be because of all the time spent in the sun. His hair is dark blonde, with green eyes. He travels with his normal ranger clothing and a hooded cape, to cover up his ears if needed.
Backstory
Childhood
Ruven Liafiel was born in Enmalin on Conder Isle, on 14. Mai 1386. His parents were Selphie Liafiel, daughter of a new rich noble elf from Enmalin and Cornos Zumven, a human from Adwick in Evorgos. Selphies Family didn’t approve this relationship, so they fled to Cornos hometown. There Ruven grew up to be an average young man, with the only difference that he had to hide his ears from time to time. He started to train and work as a ranger for the TODO SOMEONE.
On the 29. September 1435, his parents died by the hands of the Garlar, as he himself was only able to escape with his life. During the process, he was able to cut off a finger of one of the Garlar, right in the moment when it teleported away to safe himself.
During the period of grief Ruven was surprised by his uncle, requesting from him to return to his elven heritage, as the unclean leaf in the family tree has now turned brown. Ruven moved back to Enmalin with the rest of his family, which he barely knew from stories, but he didn’t really have a choice.
Young Adulthood
His uncle’s elitist and anti-Semitic way to view the world influenced Ruven for the next few years of his life. He became convinced the greed of humans to live a longer life brought the wizards to become lichs. He was convinced humans would all be able to do such a thing, due to their inferior race, wanting to have what they can’t. His hatred for humans grew from day to day, while totally forgetting that the reason of all this hatred was his father, a human. Together they would train the human out of Ruven, his uncle promised him. Due to the position of Ruvens uncle in the TODO ARMY? he was able to get a good position as a TODO scout. During the extensive training he learned even more about nature than he learned with the humans, which only further nurtured his theories. Since then Ruven travels for the TODO ARMY around the whole planet, seeing things he couldn’t even imagine as a small boy.
First Nightmares
By the time of November 1520, 85 years after the massacre, Ruven experienced his first nightmare. He saw a pale face with thin skin stretched over the skull with hateful eyes, almost dried up. Ruven remembered the face, it was the one Garlar whose finger was still dangling around his neck, to remember himself of what happened. Over the next weeks the nightmares became more and more frequent, with the sight of a dark place with a high tower becoming more and more frequent. Ruven was led to believe that the finger allowed him to see what the Garlar is up to, and he starts to search for any lead in his dreams.
Ruven realized that he had to changes his way of life to fulfil his one and only purpose: kill the Garlar. If they didn’t want to outwait his death, he shouldn’t wait for theirs either. He started to take every opportunity to further his cause, as the information from his dreams proved to be mostly worthless he started traveling around, looking for clues and familiar places. Starting to believe the lich knows about him, he questions every single bit of information he gets.
He started to hide his racism in the presence of other races, knowing for himself that he is superior was enough for him. Biting on his tongue was worth it for him as his only goal was to fulfil his self-proclaimed prophecy.
