Lykke Li - No Rest For The Wicked
Name: Zulen D`Erkrendel
Age: 57
Race: Umbron
Gender: Male
Bio:Zulen`s family traveled through the forests a lot and were a fairly seasoned bunch. When Zulen was born it was a surprise that he was so weak, since his mother was one of the tougher members of the family and his father was a talented hunter. It seemed that genes meant nothing to Zulen, because he was a terrible hunter and it seemed he had no toughness whatsoever. These pitfalls, however, did nothing to stop him from trying to go with his family on their journeys through the forest. They would always tell him that he needed to stay home and rest, but he would just ask "What home?", and they would end up taking him. Despite the fact that was a weak child, or maybe because of that, he would insist that he carry the luggage. When he was asked why he wanted to carry the luggage,even though he was so frail a child, and he would tell them "I do it so that I can build stamina, and stop being so frail", and they would let him carry the luggage, but only the lighter pieces at the start.
They continued to journey like this for some years and then they went to a place that Zulen had always wanted to see. They arrived at the city of the Luxons, and Zulen was giddy with excitement, but also a little worried that they would laugh at how weak he was. This worry was short lived as he was accosted by some elves his own age, and they seemed to be in awe of the fact that he was able to travel as much as he did. In fact, not only did they not laugh at how weak he was, but they seemed to think that all of his journeying was that much more impressive because of it.
Zulen became very interested in magic, though he had seen it before he had never seen people use magic quite as well as the Luxons, and he was very surprised to see that he wasn't any worse at magic than any other Umbron. Zulen decided then and there that if he couldn't be at hunting like his father, or as tough as his mother, then he was going to be a powerful mage and make them proud.
Zulen asked his parents if the cold stay and learn magic from the Luxon, and they told him that if that was what he truly desired then they would be happy to let him stay. Zulen studied for years to be the best, and he never neglected to train his body and build his stamina, though the training never seemed to help his body in any other way. He found that, unfortunately, no matter how hard he studied and practiced, he would never be as good as a Luxon at magic. For a while Zulen was disheartened, but as he was retelling the stories of his travels for the thousandth time, he realized something. Even though the Luxon knew great magic and were very powerful, they were also very isolated. Not just from the outside world, but from other elves as well, and though they were strong spell caster, they were not as strong as the Gorgii of the north. Zulen wonder if the Gorgii had achieved their incredible power because they lived out in the world and were exposed to things that made them stronger.
Deciding that he must find out, he went to the catacombs of the city to check, but found that since the Gorgii were not of this world originally, the information on them fell short. As he was about to give up any hope of getting stronger, he saw an entry in a log book that chronicled the journeys of an elf outside the forest, and he was struck with the idea to do just that. Knowing that he would never get permission to go out in the world with a body as weak as his, he came up with a plan to fool everyone and disappear.
Spending months in research, he finally found a way to fuse a cloaking spell with a teleportation spell, so that he could disappear without a trace. His plan was to tell the Lexons that he was going an a journey to catch up with his parents, and when he was out of sight of the city, he was going to activate the spell and teleport out of the forest. He thought that it was a good plan, the only downside being that because of the way the cloaking and teleportation spells had come together, he had know idea were he would come out in the world. Zulen thought that maybe it didn't matter, since he was sure it isn't as dangerous as everyone says.
One of the things that he looked forward to the most, was the fact that since people rarely saw elves there, they wouldn't know that he was weak. Even though he was an decent mage and he had better stamina than any other elf in the academy, they still treated him like he was weak, and he hated it. They always thought he needed help when he got big books off the shelves(you fall over one time and they never let you live it down), or when the class was trying to cast some difficult spells and the teachers told everyone they could take a break, when we all know it was just because I was there. Zulen appreciated their kindness, but he was sick of being seen as weak. He was ready to make his own way in life, so that he could get stronger, and he intended to do so outside the forest.
Zulen just hoped that they would let him back in after they found out he had sneaked out, since he did want to return and show his parents how strong he will surely have become.
