Name: Eshuu (EE shoe)

Bonded to: Bronze M Inidoth From: Mystic's Bernese

Age: 35ish Born in: Newgreen/Spring
Soul Name: none known Known By: no one not even him Found: n/a
Sex: Male Mate Status/Sex Preference: Lovemated, Ungof, female, ran away during a Troll raid (that captured Preth)
Children: Fyma, female, missing (with mother)
Parents/Relatives: Mother: Maektek, killed by Trolls; Father: Pilth, missing (likely with Ungof and Fyma); Siblings: Brother: Hasli, younger, on a vision quest; Sister: Preth, younger, captured by Trolls
Original Tribe: Go-Backs (post-Palace, Plains elf blooded). Arrived to Bald Mountain: 200
Height: 3'7" Build: sturdy, but not too burly
Hair Color, Length, Style: bronzed, complex style with shaves, cut short to ears
Eye Color, Size, Shape: ultramarine
Skin Tone: olive-tan, plains-elf influenced
Voice Quality: somewhat high and airy given that he's a rough and tumble Go-back
Clothing -- Summer: pretty much ditches the fur pants for a kilt and stops wearing long sleeves if it gets very warm
Clothing -- Winter: long nicely kept cloak of heavy fur and thick leather in crystal over leather and fur evergreen pants, with a graphite long-sleeved shirt, knee high leather boots of khaki, and a soft fur hat
Jewlery Worn, Made: oh he does not dare wear metal... his cloak buckles are an exception but he's thought really hard about replacing them with wood, thankfully they're small
Tatoos/Markings/Scars: a noticable scar on their right side from a chunk taken out from his ear, to mottled and pitted splash-damage on face, neck, arm and hand, and down his side though you can't see it; this is from his first accidental lightning strike, which actually didn't hurt him directly, rather it struck a flammable flask of oil and that blew up on him. He's since learned how to keep away from things like that when he's gearing up for a blast
Pets/Animals Kept: female, very small elk with antlers broken from fighting; she is out with the local elk now and they are semi-domesticated so they'll hang out even if the other herd members want to move on
Notable Posessions: nothing worth noting
Holt Function: scaring the crap out of invading Trolls or Humans (or anything else in range)

Size: evenly built but not very tall
Intelligence: High
Appearance: Very Low
Charisma: Low
Magic Power: Below Average
Magic? How Powerful? Sending 6/10, Magic Feeling 2/10, WeatherShape - Call Lightning (!) 4/10
Climate/Locations Preferred: stormy skies, open plains
General Likes: He enjoys collecting small shiny rocks, and sometimes the lightning-struck fused rocks or metals that come from ore being hit
General Dislikes: missing in combat, particularly if he's fighting with his magic... it takes a lot out of him to get another strike going
Fears/Worries: that he will hit the wrong person, instead, he always is sure to mentally bellow out that he's going to gather the lightning before letting loose
Special Strange Info: you read that right, he calls lightning. Something about his magic seems to attract it, and with intense concentration he can 'call' it into a direction nearby, usually while on dragonback because that way at least they stand a chance of being in motion rather than getting hit arbitrarily. This power works only in the right weather conditions but he seems able to sense when those conditions are close, and he can 'direct' a bolt of lightning to whatever is tallest nearby on the ground - and on the plains, this was quite effective at crisp-frying big herd beasts, but up in the mountains and snow it's a sure bet to be a troll lumbering about. This is basically a standard lightning strike in any other regard, which means it may hit directly on its target, or be diverted by some other thing on the way, but with practice he can narrow its scope to a reasonable degree, and as he grows older this will certainly only get better. It is very difficult and draining, not just for him but apparently for the local air pressure and conditions, as though he's 'clearing out' the spare static energy and gathering it; it takes a few minutes for the power to build, about the same for the storm around him. Note that this does somehow prevent him and now his dragon from being hit by random strikes, even up in the clouds during a storm. It's also possible that he'll learn how to build up Inidoth's fur in a dry area to put smaller bolts into action...
Basic Personality: anyone bold enough to get hit by lightning and then decide "hey I think I'll start trying to control it" deserves respect... He isn't crazy, far from it, he'd make a good engineer or scientist, and does want to learn more about the things Trolls or even Humans make (and let's not even get into what happens when he discovers the piezoelectric and battery driven electric devices in the Holt...). He rides a bronze dragon for a reason, though he's not 'charming' he's definitely 'bold'
How they feel about
Humans: they're inventive, though kind of smelly
Elves -- herders: father's folks herded animals, didn't they? at least they followed herds, and so did the Go-Backs
Elves -- magic users: if Teyfu's fire magic wasn't enough to get her kicked out of the tribe, then certainly his might... But that just means more opportunity to find a tribe that would love to have him
Elves -- bond-riders: yee! and I cannot stress this enough, haw!
Trolls, etc: while he does have a strong amount of fear mixed with anger about the ones up in the Palace's old location to the north, the ones he's met down in the hills and on the plains have been pretty decent people
Skills: Trapping/Trap Making: Extremely High
Hunting - Spear: Extremely High (uses bone tipped ones, rather than metal)
Ranged - Longbow: High
Against Trolls - metal, medium sized shield: Below Average (note that he stopped using this because obviously it would attract lightning)
Running/Endurance: Average
Cooking/Exotic Dishes: Above Average
Language Lore/Written Language: Average
Ride: Extremely High

History: It was likely the use of his lightning power that brought attention to himself, things tended to explode near him. While his parentage was not 'pure Go-Back' like some in their group, they'd somehow hidden any powers until him... It was also very likely that power that attracted the Trolls - causing the entire three hands worth of elves to have to scatter, some of them being captured, and his mother wasn't the only one who fought bravely - but not quite skilled enough to avoid being killed. They ran in different directions, and Eshuu realized that he was the cause of this raid. So he went the opposite direction from his family and kin. He still hopes to find them, but he knows they won't want him back, not now.

Eventually he met up with Teyfu, and then others. Apparently 'searched' by a dragon riding girl related in some way to their new friends from the Ice Gliders, they were brought to the Holt to the south, then off world! What an adventure! But there's more adventure to come, being able to ride on a bold dragon's back and defend their territory from Troll attacks? This is the life!
